Some people say that Zhao Yun is the fourth brother of Liu, Guan and Zhang. Why do they say that?

Among many figures in the Three Kingdoms, Zhao Yun should be the most popular figure. He is brave, handsome, calm, resourceful, unfocused and almost flawless. In romance, family ties are comparable to those of the Taoyuan brothers, so in many stories and storytelling, Zhao Yun is promoted to the fourth brother, and Liu calls Zhao Yun the "fourth brother".

This name is really not too much. In Liu Bei's words, Zilong is in trouble from me. Can you be shaken by wealth? Zhao Yun not only followed Liu Bei when he was in trouble, but also saved Adou from danger twice. This achievement is extraordinary, second only to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

However, it is understandable for Liu Bei to call Zhao Yun the fourth brother according to his feelings, but Zhao Yun seems to be no younger than Liu Bei and even older than Liu Bei. The image of Zhao Yun's white horse and pike was once unpopular. Zhao Yun's real age is not recorded in history, but it will never be smaller than Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

If Zhao Yun, the rescuer of Changbanpo, is still a modest young general, Zhao Yun, who made five beheadings on Mount Mountain, can never be a tough general. Because the battle of Dangyang is only 20 years away from the battle of Mount, the young generals who broke through Changbanpo in those years will suddenly be green and aging after 20 years? It really makes no sense.

In fact, there is a general account of Zhao Yun's age, which is in the seventh time of the Romance. Suddenly, a young general turned out on the left side of the grass slope, and Pegasus was armed. He took Wen Chou and Gongsun Zan straight up the hill to see the young man. He is eight feet long, with thick eyebrows and a wide face. He is very aggressive. He and Wen Chou played fifty or sixty times, and the outcome was tied. Zan men to save the army, Wen dial the horse back to the domain. Boys don't chase.

The young general here is naturally Zhao Yun. This is Zhao Yun's first exit in romance. The "young general" also explained Zhao Yun's age. Young people can range from fourteen to eighteen. The historical year is 19 1. If Zhao Yun is fourteen years old at this time, Zhao Yun will be in his early thirties seventeen years after the Battle of Dangyang. The ancients were not so old now. It's just that Zhao Yun's image is unpopular.

Once a person's image is fixed, it is difficult to change, just like Huang Zhong's image is an old man in his prime. Isn't Huang Zhong young? Is Huang Zhong a veteran born as frost as snow? Of course not. It's just that Huang Zhonggang was the same image when he left. When Huang Zhong was young, the story of his youth was not recorded in the book, so everyone couldn't figure out what Huang Zhong's image was like when he was young.
