In "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Liu Bei is praised for his kindness to others, compared to Cao Cao's cruelty and Sun Quan's deep scheming, which are not flattering. Liu Bei was generous and caring for the people, and was deeply respected by the people, and his generals, ministers, and people all followed him in the name of his benevolence.
Liu Bei's way of governance made the ** and the people under his rule feel his care. However, even such a benevolent monarch had suspicions and calculations.
Before he died, he specially summoned Zhuge Liang and warned him: "Don't reuse Zhao Zilong." Although Zhao Yun was his most loyal general, he was adamantly opposed to reusing him.
Why is that? This is the true heart of the emperor! Zhao Yun is Liu Bei's old minister, and when Liu Bei has not yet emerged, he already has a deep respect for Liu Bei, so when Liu Bei is down, he can follow Liu Bei, which is undoubtedly the biggest gain for Liu Bei.
Therefore, the relationship between them was very deep from the very beginning. Zhao Yun's martial arts are outstanding, even in the Three Kingdoms period when there were many heroes, few people can compare with him, so Liu Bei attaches great importance to him, and even asks him to protect himself.
For a monarch, being able to have a person close to him to protect himself means that he has a lot of trust in this person.
Zhao Yun proved his loyalty and courage with practical actions, he was Liu Bei's loyal guardian, no matter how many enemy troops he faced, he was fearless to protect Liu Bei's back.
His exploits even surpassed those of his sworn brothers Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. Zhao Yun not only had a life-saving grace for Liu Bei, he also protected Liu Bei's eldest son, Liu Chan. In the Battle of Changbanpo, Zhao Yun searched everywhere regardless of the danger, and finally found Liu Chan's traces.
In order to protect Liu Bei's bloodline, he entered and exited seven times in the chaotic army, and finally succeeded in protecting Liu Chan's safety.
Cao Jun's morale is high, but Zhao Yun dares to go in and out seven times alone, this courage is really admirable! Cao Cao was amazed by his actions, and would rather let Liu Chan go than see him die in battle.
Liu Bei was also moved to tears by Zhao Yun's bravery, he put the child down, and said affectionately: "Zilong, compared to him, I need your help more. Liu Bei was deeply satisfied with Zhao Yun's loyalty and talent, and after the establishment of the Shu State, he specially named Zhao Yun one of the five tiger generals, making him the leader of the imperial generals.
Zhao Yun was deeply grateful for Liu Bei's reuse, and he was determined to repay the lord's trust with greater merits.
You can't get reused. This period of history took a major turn in 219 AD, when Liu Bei's sworn brother Guan Yu was killed by Sun Quan in Maicheng, and Sun Quan gave Guan Yu's head to Cao Cao in order to divert the trouble.
Cao Cao was not a fool, he buried Guan Yu's head thickly to prove his innocence, which made Liu Bei's anger completely aimed at Sun Quan.
Liu Bei, with the belief of avenging his brother, sharpened his sword, but before his knife could be unsheathed, Zhang Fei's head was sent to Sun Quan by a traitor, causing both of his brothers to die at Sun Quan's hands, causing him to be deeply saddened.
He could not tolerate such a tragedy, and regardless of the overall situation, he led his elite army to attack Soochow. His army was so strong that it was so terrified that it was impossible to fight hard.
But at this time, Lu Xun, the son of destiny, was born. He found that Liu Bei was in a hurry to fight and had insufficient grain and grass, so he first cut off his grain and grass line, and then burned down his seven-hundred-mile company camp.
This fire burned away the accumulation of Shu for many years, and also completely broke Liu Bei's psychological defense. After the defeat, he fell ill and fell directly in the White Emperor City.
Liu Bei had a premonition that his life was coming to an end, so he immediately called Prime Minister Zhuge Liang to explain the future. He instructed that after his death, the crown prince Liu Chan would take over the throne, and the power of the court would be completely handed over to Zhuge Liang.
As for the appointment of other ministers, Zhuge Liang has full power. However, the only requirement is that Zhao Yun is not reusable. This surprised Zhuge Liang, because Zhao Yun has always been a brave general in the court and has made great achievements for the Shu State.
Liu Bei and Zhao Yun have always maintained a good relationship between monarchs and ministers, but why did they say such last words before they died? This was not Liu Bei's casual suspicion, but his decision after careful consideration.
Liu Bei has a unique vision, he thinks that Zhao Yun is suitable for being a general, but not for being a handsome.
Although Zhao Yun had made great achievements, he never commanded a major battle independently. His operations were often commanded by Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, etc. He was used to this style of cooperation, and suddenly letting him fight independently or command others would undoubtedly cause him trouble.
In addition, Zhao Yun has a steady style and lacks the adventurous spirit required during the expansion period. His experience shows that he can bravely carry his children in and out of a million enemy forces, but he is also calm and rarely takes risks, which shows that he lacks the ability to adapt to the rapidly changing situation of the Three Kingdoms, and it is difficult to deal with it alone.
Liu Bei did not reuse Zhao Yun, not only out of restraining Zhuge Liang, but also out of consideration for the stability of Shu. Although he was young and incompetent, he knew the importance of power. Although Liu Bei trusted Zhuge Liang, he inevitably had doubts in his heart.
How many people in history can not be tempted by the throne? did not let Zhao Yun be the commander, hoping that he could continue to directly command his soldiers. Once Zhuge Liang has the intention of usurping the throne, Zhao Yun, who is loyal to the Liu family, will definitely not sit idly by, and his existence is a deterrent to Zhuge Liang.
Liu Bei is a benevolent man, he has practiced benevolence all his life, but as the king of a country, he also has his own calculations and plans.
The abandonment of Zhao Yun not only reflects the careful consideration of the overall situation, but also aims to protect the interests of the country through the containment between them. Although this does not mean that we lack trust in Zhuge Liang and Zhao Yun, as emperors, we must always be suspicious and vigilant to ensure the long-term peace and stability of the country.
