Among the five generals, Zhao Yun, who won the hearts of the people, ranked fifth. But in any case, it is unfair to put Zhao Yun at the bottom. If ranked by seniority, Zhao Yun has followed Liu Bei for so many years, and should not be lower than Ma Chao anyway. According to the records of military exploits, Zhao Yun fought in the north and south, and made great contributions in the battle of Hanzhong, such as riding alone to save the young master, cutting off the river and taking the sinus, and planning an empty village. The meritorious military service will never be less than Huang Zhong in size. Why did he get such treatment? As mentioned above, Ma Chao and Huang Zhong are only Liu Bei's political propaganda materials, and they are promoted to better play the role of propaganda materials, so we need to find another prestigious person as a victim. Guan Yu is arrogant and Zhang Fei is impatient. Naturally, Liu Bei would not treat them as victims, so Zhao Zilong, an honest and hardworking "workhorse", became the most suitable candidate.

Zhao Yun is honest. He never argues with others. When Liu Bei proclaimed himself emperor, his officials listed him as the last of the five generals. He didn't complain, but he did his best as always. When ministers signed a letter to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Guan, Zhang, Ma and Zhao Yunlian were the first to sign. For these, zhaoyun also didn't say anything. After Liu Bei proclaimed himself emperor, he wanted to attack Sun Quan. Zhaoyun not only failed to convince him, but was even deprived of the opportunity to participate in the war. But when Liu Bei was defeated like a mountain, it was Zhao Yun who came to the rescue, but Zhao Yun said nothing about the original cold reception.

After Liu Bei's death, Zhao Yun followed Zhuge Liang in the Northern Expedition. This almost invincible expert was severely punished by Zhuge Liang for a small failure in Ji Gu. Zhao Yun didn't say anything from the low rank of "Zhongbaojun, General Town East and Hou Feng Yongchang" to "General Town Army", and finally died with this demoted official position.

When an ancient general died, the emperor usually went to posthumous title immediately to show his respect for the deceased. However, after the death of Zhao Yun, the small court of Shu Han was slow to investigate Zhao Yun's death, and Zhao Yun's sons Zhao Guang and Zhao Tong silently endured this unfair treatment. If it weren't for later Jiang Wei they really can't stand and joint column on the table, zhaoyun may really doesn't even have posthumous title. He was treated unfairly when he was alive and didn't get the recognition he deserved when he died. Zhao Yun's life is really unlucky. But he never complains. The history books record his openness, courage and integrity. The small court of Shu Han saw Zhao Yun's character and dared to bully this honest man with confidence.

Zhao Yun was finally named Shunping Hou by posthumous title, saying that "gentle people are kind and obedient, and deacons have a class called" Ping "(Zhao Yunchuan cited" The Legend of the Cloud "as the imperial edict). This is the final judgment given to Zhao Yun by the Liu family. The meaning is obvious. In other words, Zhao Yun silently endured any injustice he suffered, continued to do his job well, and made good achievements. Compared with other military commanders' posthumous title, such as "Gang", "Strong" and "Meng", Zhao Yun's posthumous title is more used by the people, which can't explain that Zhao Yun is a brave man at all, so this posthumous title is also unfair.

Zhao Yun didn't get the treatment he deserved before and after his death. The root cause is that he is too honest and kind. If such people were in Cao Cao's or Sun Quan's place, they wouldn't receive such a cold reception. The two bosses still know that rewards and punishments are clear and they are not selfish. It's a pity that Zhao Zilong was single-minded, but he had to follow Liu Bei unswervingly and withstood the unfair test again and again. Such a loyal general is admirable, but there may be some fools.
