Zhao Yun's qualifications are far above Huang Zhong's, but why did he become a four-party general?

2/kloc-In May of 0/9, Liu Bei won Hanzhong, and in the autumn of the same year, Liu Bei rewarded the ministers and generals who had followed him for a long time at the suggestion of ministers. The most striking thing is that Guan Yu was named as a former general, Ma Chao as a left general, Zhang Fei as a right general, Huang Zhong as a post-general, and Zhang Guan, Macelo Wong and Zhao Yun were called five tiger generals by later generations.

The front, back, left and right four-way generals are the main ones, and there are also general Wei, general Che Qi and general A title of generals in ancient times. But judging from Liu Bei's being the king of Hanzhong, the four-way generals were undoubtedly the highest rank he could seal at that time.

However, it is somewhat puzzling that Zhao Yun followed Liu Bei very early. Theoretically, even if he is not as good as Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Ma Chao, he will not be worse than Huang Zhong, and even his qualifications are far above Huang Zhong. However, it was unexpectedly defeated by the four generals. Zhao Yun was also the general of the beneficial army who sealed Liu Bei after he entered Yizhou (Zhao Yun's central guard army should not have been sealed when Liu Bei was in Hanzhong, otherwise there would be a clear record in the official history). Then Liu Bei was enfeoffed by the four generals, and Zhao Yun was unexpectedly defeated. He asked us to analyze it.

First, Emperor Gaozu Liu Bang swore in the White Horse League that if Liu is not king, the world will attack him, and if he does not pay attention to reactive power, the world will punish him. ? In addition to not allowing Liu to be king, it is also stipulated that those who have not made outstanding military achievements are not allowed to be sealed. Since Liu Bei claimed to be the son of Emperor Jing of Han Dynasty, Wang Jing of Zhongshan and Liu Sheng, it is natural to abide by and safeguard Liu Bang's oath.

Zhao, Wu, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Ma Chao all have titles, but Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun don't. Huang Zhong was also made a Hou Guan (Zhao Yun failed to make a Hou Guan before Liu Bei died), so was Zhao Yun inferior to Huang Zhong in military service?

Practically speaking, from the official point of view, Liu Bei carried Wang Qian Zhao Yun in Hanzhong. Although he had the merits of the battle of Bowangpo, the battle of Changbanpo, and the capture of four counties in Jingnan, he also had the military achievements of commanding Sichuan to capture the battles of Jiangyang, Qianwei and Hanshui, but he was still not as good as the military achievements of Dingjunshan Huang Zhong in slaying Xiahou Yuan.
