Zhao Yun (died 229[1]), courtesy name Zilong, was a military general who lived in the late Eastern Han Dynasty and early Three Kingdoms period. Originally a subordinate of the northern warlord Gongsun Zan, Zhao Yun later came to serve Liu Bei and had since accompanied Liu on most of his exploits — from the Battle of Changban (208) to the Hanzhong Campaign (217–219). He continued serving in the state of Shu Han in the Three Kingdoms period, participating in the first of Zhuge Liangs Northern Expeditions, until his death in 229. While many facts about Zhao Yuns life remain unclear due to limited information in historical sources, some aspects and activities in his life had been highly dramatised or exaggerated in folklore and fiction, most notably in Luo Guanzhongs historical novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms, in which he was lauded as a member of the Five Tiger Generals under Liu Bei.

In the fifth century, Pei Songzhi added annotations from the Yun Biezhuan (雲別傳; Unofficial Biography of (Zhao) Yun) to Zhao Yuns biography in the Sanguozhi, providing a relatively clearer, though still incomplete picture of Zhaos life. Early career under Gongsun Zan Zhao Yun was a native of Zhending (真定), Changshan (常山) commandery, which is located south of present-day Zhengding County, Shijiazhuang, Hebei.[2] The Yun Biezhuan described his physical appearance as such: eight chi tall (approximately 1.85 metres), with majestic and impressive looks.[3] Zhao Yun was recommended by the chief administrating officer in Changshan to serve in the Han government, so he led a small group of volunteers to join the You Province warlord Gongsun Zan, who was nominally a General of the Household (中郎將) under the Han government. Around that time, another warlord Yuan Shao was recently appointed as the Governor (牧) of Ji Province (兾州) and his fame was steadily rising, so Gongsun Zan was worried that many people in You Province would choose to serve under Yuan instead of him. When Zhao Yun came to join him, he mocked the latter, I heard that all those in your home province[notes 1] wanted to serve the Yuans. Why did you decide to have a change of heart, and choose to correct your mistake? Zhao Yun replied, The Empire is in a state of chaos and it is unclear who is right and who is wrong. The people are in danger. Those in my home province, after careful deliberation, decided to follow a lord who practises benevolent governance. Therefore, I chose to join you, General, instead of Lord Yuan. He participated in some of Gongsun Zans battles against rival forces.[4] Around the early 190s, Liu Bei was taking shelter under Gongsun Zan and he met Zhao Yun during that time. Zhao Yun became very close to Liu Bei and had the desire of switching his allegiance to Liu. When Gongsun Zan sent Liu Bei to assist his ally Tian Kai in a battle against Yuan Shao, Zhao Yun followed Liu Bei and served as a cavalry commander under the latter.[5] Later, when Zhao Yun received news of his elder brothers death, he asked for a temporary leave of absence from Gongsun Zan to attend his brothers funeral. Liu Bei knew that Zhao Yun would not return to Gongsun Zan after leaving, so he held Zhaos hand when he bid the latter farewell. Before departing, Zhao Yun said, Ill not forsake morality.[6] Coming to serve Liu Bei Around 199, after Liu Bei was defeated in Xu Province by Cao Cao, he fled north and sought refuge under Yuan Shao. At the same time, Zhao Yun also came to Ye, the capital of Yuan Shaos territories, where he met Liu Bei again. Zhao Yun and Liu Bei shared the same room during their stay in Ye. Liu Bei secretly ordered Zhao Yun to help him recruit hundreds of men who were willing to follow him, and they claimed to be soldiers from the unit of the General of the Left (左將軍).[notes 2] Yuan Shao was not aware of this. Liu Bei later left Yuan Shao and travelled south to Jing Province to join Liu Biao, the Governor (牧) of the province. Zhao Yun accompanied him.[7] In 202, when Cao Cao was away on campaigns in northern China against Yuan Shaos sons and their allies, Liu Bei took advantage of Caos absence to launch an attack on Caos territories in central China. Cao Cao sent his general Xiahou Dun and others to lead an army to resist Liu Bei, leading to the Battle of Bowang. Xiahou Dun lost the battle after falling into Liu Beis ambush, but Liu also withdrew his forces upon seeing the arrival of Xiahous reinforcements. During the battle, Zhao Yun captured an enemy officer Xiahou Lan (夏侯蘭), who was an old acquaintance of his and was also from the same hometown as him. Zhao Yun requested for Liu Bei to spare Xiahou Lans life and recommended Xiahou to serve as a military judge because he knew that Xiahou was proficient in law. However, he never maintained any close relationship with Xiahou Lan. This incident showed that Zhao Yun was conscientious and careful.[8] Battle of Changban Main article: Battle of Changban A mural depicting Zhao Yuns fight at Changban inside the Long Corridor on the grounds of the Summer Palace in Beijing, China. The rider in white is Zhao Yun. Liu Biao died in 208 and was succeeded by his younger son Liu Cong, who surrendered Jing Province to Cao Cao when the latter launched a campaign to attack the warlords in southern China. Liu Bei and his followers headed south towards Xiakou (夏口), which was guarded by Liu Biaos elder son Liu Qi and was independent of Cao Caos control. Cao Cao sent 5,000 riders to pursue Liu Bei and they caught up with him at Changban (長阪), Dangyang (當陽), igniting the Battle of Changban. Liu Bei abandoned his family and fled.[9] Zhao Yun carried Liu Beis young son Liu Shan and protected Liu Beis wife Lady Gan (Liu Shans mother) during the battle, eventually delivering them to safety. He was promoted to General of the Standard (牙門將軍) for his efforts.[10] Earlier on, after his defeat at Changban, Liu Bei was told that Zhao Yun had betrayed him and was heading north to join Cao Cao. He refused to believe, as he threw a short ji to the ground and said, Zilong will never desert me. He was right as Zhao Yun showed up a short while later.[11] Guarding Jing Province Between late 208 and 209, Liu Bei formed an alliance with the Jiangdong warlord Sun Quan and they defeated Cao Cao at the decisive Battle of Red Cliffs and the subsequent Battle of Jiangling. Cao Cao retreated north after his defeats and southern Jing Province came under Liu Beis control. Zhao Yun assisted Liu Bei in the pacification of the territories in southern Jing Province and was promoted to Lieutenant-General (偏將軍) for his efforts. He was also appointed as the Administrator (太守) of Guiyang (桂陽) commandery, replacing Zhao Fan. Zhao Fan had a widowed elder sister-in-law who was known for her beauty, and he wanted to arrange for a marriage between her and Zhao Yun. However, Zhao Yun declined, I share the same family name as you. Your elder brother is also like an elder brother to me. There were some people who urged Zhao Yun to accept the marriage, but he said, Zhao Fan was forced to surrender, so his intentions are unclear. There are so many other women in this world. Not long later, Zhao Fan escaped, and Zhao Yun was able to avoid any association with him because he did not agree to the marriage.[12] Around 212, Liu Bei led an army west into Yi Province (益州; covering present-day Sichuan and Chongqing) to assist the provincial governor Liu Zhang in countering a rival warlord, Zhang Lu of Hanzhong. Zhao Yun was appointed as a Major (司馬) of the reserve camp and he remained behind to guard Jing Province.[13] Sometime in 209, Liu Bei married Sun Quans younger sister, Lady Sun, to strengthen the alliance between him and Sun. Lady Sun also remained in Jing Province when Liu Bei left. Because of her brothers strong influence, Lady Sun was arrogant and she often allowed her close aides to behave lawlessly too. Liu Bei knew that Zhao Yun was a serious and orderly person, so he put the latter in charge of internal affairs in Jing Province when he was away. When Sun Quan heard that Liu Bei had left for Yi Province, he sent a vessel to fetch his sister back to Jiangdong. Lady Sun attempted to bring Liu Beis son Liu Shan along with her, but Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei led their men to blockade the river and they retrieved Liu Shan.[14] Conquest of Yi Province Main article: Liu Beis takeover of Yi Province Liu Bei and Liu Zhang were friendly towards each other in the beginning, but tensions between them gradually increased until the point of armed conflict in 213. Liu Bei was initially stationed at Jiameng (葭萌), where he was helping Liu Zhang defend the area from Zhang Lu, and he later turned against Liu Zhang there. He ordered Zhuge Liang, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and others to lead reinforcements from Jing Province into Yi Province to help him, while Guan Yu remained behind to defend Jing Province.[15] The reinforcements marched along the Yangtze River and pacified the commanderies and counties in the surrounding areas. When they reached Jiangzhou (江州), Zhuge Liang ordered Zhao Yun to lead a separate force to attack Jiangyang (江陽) and take an alternate route, and later rendezvous with Liu Bei and the other armies outside Yi Provinces capital Chengdu. In 215, Liu Zhang gave up resistance and surrendered, concluding Liu Beis successful takeover of Yi Province. Zhao Yun was appointed as General of the Assisting Army (翊軍將軍).[16] After taking over Yi Province, Liu Bei held a discussion on whether to distribute the houses in Chengdu and the fields outside the city among his followers, so as to reward them for their efforts in the campaign. Zhao Yun objected, In the past, Huo Qubing said that there was no home until the Xiongnu had been eliminated. The enemies of the state in our time include not only the Xiongnu, so we shouldnt be complacent. Only when the Empire has been completely pacified and the people have reverted to their peaceful lives, can we truly enjoy ourselves. The war in Yi Province has just ended, so the people in the province should have their lands and homes returned to them. As of now, the people should be allowed to continue their livelihoods in peace, and later we can impose taxes and conscription on them. In this way, we will earn their favour and support. Liu Bei heeded Zhao Yuns advice.[17] Battle of Han River Main article: Battle of Han River In 217, Liu Bei launched the Hanzhong Campaign to seize control of Hanzhong commandery from Cao Cao because Hanzhong was the northern gateway into Yi Province. Cao Caos general Xiahou Yuan was killed in action at the Battle of Mount Dingjun in 218-219 against Liu Beis general Huang Zhong. Later, Huang Zhong heard that Cao Caos forces were transporting food supplies to Beishan (北山), so he led a group of soldiers (including some of Zhao Yuns men) to seize the supplies. Huang Zhong did not return after a long time so Zhao Yun led tens of horsemen in search of Huang. Zhao Yun encountered Cao Caos forces and engaged them in battle but was outnumbered and was forced to retreat back to his camp, with Cao Caos men in pursuit. Zhang Yi, one of Zhao Yuns subordinates, wanted to close the gates to prevent the enemy from entering. However, Zhao Yun gave orders for the gates to be opened, all flags and banners to be hidden, and the war drums silenced. Cao Caos forces thought that there was an ambush inside Zhao Yuns camp so they withdrew. Just then, Zhao Yun launched a counterattack and his men beat the war drums loudly and fired arrows at the enemy. Cao Caos soldiers were shocked and thrown into disarray. Some of them trampled on each other while fleeing in panic, and many of them fell into the Han River and drowned.[18] The following day, Liu Bei came to inspect Zhao Yuns camp and survey the battlefield. He remarked, Zilong is full of courage. He then threw a feast to celebrate Zhao Yuns victory and they made merry until nightfall. Zhao Yun was called General of Tigers Might (虎威將軍) in Liu Beis army.[19] Battle of Xiaoting Further information: Battle of Xiaoting In late 219, Sun Quan broke the alliance with Liu Bei when he sent his general Lü Meng to invade and seize Jing Province, resulting in the capture and execution of Guan Yu. Cao Cao died in early 220 and was succeeded by his son Cao Pi, who forced Emperor Xian of Han to abdicate the throne in his favour later that year. Cao Pi ended the Han Dynasty and established the state of Cao Wei, marking the start of the Three Kingdoms period. In 221, Liu Bei declared himself emperor and founded the state of Shu Han, which was intended to be a continuation of the fallen Han Dynasty. Sun Quan pledged allegiance to Cao Pi and became a nominal vassal of Wei, ruling under the Wei-granted title of King of Wu.[20] Liu Bei bore a grudge against Sun Quan for the seizure of Jing Province and he wanted to start a campaign against the latter. Zhao Yun attempted to dissuade him, saying, Cao Cao is the enemy of the state, not Sun Quan. We should eliminate Wei first, after which Wu will surrender by itself. Cao Cao is already dead but his son Cao Pi has usurped the throne. You should follow the wishes of the masses by conquering Guanzhong and then attack the treacherous enemy via the Wei River. People of righteousness situated east of Hangu Pass will certainly welcome your army with grain and horses. You shouldnt ignore Wei for the moment and wage war against Wu first. Once the war has started, it cannot be stopped.[21] Liu Bei refused to accept Zhao Yuns advice and proceeded with the campaign and left Zhao Yun behind to guard Jiangzhou (江州). He was defeated by the Wu forces at Zigui (秭歸) at the Battle of Xiaoting and was forced to retreat back to Shu. Zhao Yun led troops from Jiangzhou to Yongan (永安) to help his lord, after which the Wu forces gave up on pursuing Liu Bei.[22] Service under Liu Shan Liu Bei died in 223 and was succeeded by his son Liu Shan as the emperor of Shu, with the chancellor Zhuge Liang serving as the regent. After his enthronement, Liu Shan appointed Zhao Yun as Central Protector of the Army (中護軍) and General Who Attacks the South (征南將軍), and granted him the title of Marquis of Yongchang Village (永昌亭侯). Zhao Yun was later promoted to General Who Guards the East (鎮東將軍).[23] First Northern Expedition Main article: Zhuge Liangs Northern Expeditions#First expedition In 227, Zhao Yun followed Zhuge Liang to garrison at Hanzhong. The following year, Zhuge Liang launched the first of a series of Northern Expeditions against Shus rival state Wei, and he spread news that his army would be passing through Xie Valley (斜谷). In response, the Wei general Cao Zhen led a large army to resist the Shu forces. Zhuge Liang ordered Zhao Yun and Deng Zhi to lead a separate force to resist Cao Zhen and act as a decoy, while he led the main Shu army to attack Mount Qi (祁山). Zhao Yun and Deng Zhis troops were weaker than the Wei forces so they lost the battle in Ji Valley (箕谷). However, Zhao Yun managed to muster his men into putting up a firm defence, hence minimising their losses. After retreating back to Hanzhong, Zhao Yun was demoted to General Who Guards the Army (鎮軍將軍) for his defeat.[24] Zhuge Liang later lamented the failure of the first Northern Expedition. He noted, Our armies at Mount Qi and Ji Valley together were superior to the enemy in numbers, but yet we lost the battles. This was not because we had insufficient troops, but rather, it was due to one man. Based on the earlier record in Zhao Yuns biography, Zhuge Liang had most probably reserved the elite troops for himself and Ma Su; Zhao Yun and Deng Zhi were given the weaker soldiers. Ma Su lost to the Wei general Zhang He at the Battle of Jieting in 228 due to his incompetency even though he had the better soldiers; Zhao Yun lost the battle at Ji Valley as Cao Zhens army was far superior. [25] After returning to Hanzhong, Zhuge Liang asked, When our troops withdrew from Jieting, they were very disorganised. However, those who retreated from Ji Valley were orderly. Why is it so? Deng Zhi replied, Zhao Yun personally covered the retreat. He ensured that no equipment was discarded and that the men retreated in an orderly manner. As Zhao Yun still had some silk left in his army, Zhuge Liang wanted to have the silk distributed among the troops. However, Zhao Yun demurred, The expedition was a failure, so why should rewards be given out? Please store the silk in the official treasury now and distribute them among the men later during the tenth month in winter. Zhuge Liang praised Zhao Yun for his suggestion.[26] Death Zhao Yun died in 229 and was posthumously honoured as Marquis Shunping (順平侯) by Liu Shan in 261.[27][28] During Liu Beis reign, only Fa Zheng received posthumous honours. In Liu Shans time, only three consecutive heads of government — Zhuge Liang, Jiang Wan and Fei Yi — received posthumous titles. Later, Liu Shan also posthumously honoured Chen Zhi (陳祗), whom he favoured, and Xiahou Ba, a Wei general who defected to Shu. Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Ma Chao, Pang Tong, Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun were later granted posthumous titles by Liu Shan as well. The reception of such posthumous titles was regarded as a great honour at that time.[29] Liu Shans imperial edict for granting Zhao Yun his posthumous title read: Zhao Yun followed the Late Emperor and he made outstanding contributions. I was young then and experienced many difficulties, but I relied on his loyalty and faithfulness to get out of danger. I bestow this posthumous title upon him to recognise him for his meritorious service and also because there were others who advised me to do so. The name of Zhao Yuns posthumous title was suggested by Jiang Wei and others — shun (順; literally: obey / follow) because he was virtuous and kind, ping (平; literally: peace / pacify) because he performed his duties up to standard and overcame chaos, so shun and ping became Shunping.[notes 3][30] Folktale There has been a second version of Zhao Yuns death which is mentioned in Chinese folktales, but the story itself is not mentioned in Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Zhao Yuns wifes name was Sun Ruan Er. She was very beautiful, and was very outgoing. After she was married to Zhao Yun, they often joked with each other. Zhao Yun loved his wife as well. One time, Zhao went to a battle and did not came back until a few months later. When he finally got back, his wife welcomed him. But after a while, Sun used a broom that she had been swiping the floor with to hit Zhao Yun and said, How come you did not return? You deserve it. Zhao Yun, on the other hand, dodging the broom while he laughed, Please stop, I will not be late next time. After he pleaded for a while, Lady Sun then stopped. From that time on, every time when Zhao Yun got back, Sun would scold him badly but he would not get angry at all. It was thus said that hitting is a way to show close relation, and scolding is a way of showing love. One day, Zhao Yun came back from the battlefield, and Sun was very happy and heated the water so he could take a bath. While she was sewing with a needle, Zhao took off his clothes. His skin was like jade, smooth and shiny without a scar anywhere. Sun was very curious, General, even with a jade, there is a scar somewhere, how come you dont have any even though you have gone to battle so many times? Zhao proudly declared, Because I have never lost a battle, and never had a scar; why else would people call me the Ever Victorious General? After Sun heard that, she smiled and said, Really? You have never lost a battle? I dont believe it. Zhao Yun asked, Then what can make you believe it? Sun laughs, I would like you to bleed today. As she said it, she used her needle to poke him on the shoulder. She was just joking around with him, however, the small poke made him bleed a lot. Zhao Yun cried, No! Sun was really surprised and quickly moved to his side and helped him to cover up the bleeding point. But he could not stop bleeding and Zhao soon turned white. He looked at his crying wife and said, I have never had a scar on the countless battles I have fought in, but today I will die from a needle of my beloved wife, what a pity! Zhao Yun then died. Sun never guessed that one small joke could kill her husband, she regretted it very much and cried, I have killed my husband, I have killed my husband ... General, you are dead already, why would I want to live anymore? So she used Zhao Yuns sword and killed herself. Descendants Zhao Yuns eldest son Zhao Tong (趙統) served as a military officer in Shu and his highest appointment was an Imperial Guard in the Rapid as Tigers division (虎賁中郎). Zhao Yuns second son Zhao Guang (趙廣) served as an Officer of the Standard (牙門將) and followed Jiang Wei in the campaigns against Wei and was killed in action in Tazhong (遝中).[31] Appraisal Chen Shou, who wrote Zhao Yuns biography in the Sanguozhi, commented on the latter as follows: Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun were fierce and mighty warriors, just like claws and teeth. Were they the successors to Guan Ying (灌嬰) and the Duke of Teng?[32] In fiction Many of Zhao Yuns actual exploits were highly dramatised in the historical novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms by Luo Guanzhong. In the novel, Zhao Yun is described as being almost perfect, possessing unparalleled physical power as well as unwavering loyalty to his lord, tremendous courage, keen intelligence and serene charisma. These traits have often been reflected in almost all modern material about Zhao Yun to date. The novel portrays him as a courageous, loyal, and heroic warrior, and depicting him surviving insurmountable odds many times single-handedly. See the following for some fictitious stories in Romance of the Three Kingdoms involving Zhao Yun: Battle of Changban#In fiction Battle of Xiaoting#In fiction Modern references Zhao Yun has been featured prominently in Chinese popular culture, literature, art and anecdotes. Zhao Yun was already a relatively well-known hero from the Three Kingdoms period, as folktales about his exploits have been passed down through centuries. He became a household name due to the popularity of the historical novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Recently, Zhao Yuns popularity has moved beyond Asia and into the Western world, through various media, including the Internet and video games. Film and television The 2008 Hong Kong film Three Kingdoms: Resurrection of the Dragon is loosely based on stories related to Zhao Yun in the historical novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms. It was directed by Daniel Lee and starred Hong Kong actor Andy Lau as Zhao Zilong. Mainland Chinese actor Hu Jun played Zhao Yun in John Woos Red Cliff, a two-part epic war film based on the Battle of Red Cliffs. Notable actors who have portrayed Zhao Yun in television include: Zhang Shan, in Romance of the Three Kingdoms (1994); Nie Yuan, in Three Kingdoms (2010). Video games Zhao Yun appears as a playable character in Koeis Dynasty Warriors and Warriors Orochi video game series. He is usually featured prominently on the cover of each title, and is most often used by the developers in screenshots and other promotional materials for upcoming releases. He also appears in all 12 instalments of Koeis Romance of the Three Kingdoms strategy game series. The playable champion Xin Zhao in the multiplayer online battle arena game League of Legends is based on Zhao Yun. Zhao Yun also appears as a playable character in Lost Saga.

Jiang Wei also specifically mentioned that Zhao Yuns ability to overcome and pacify disasters and chaos (克定禍亂) made him deserving of the Ping posthumous name. Based on the rules in the Yizhoushu, to qualify for the posthumous name Shun, a person had to be highly respected and must be known for being kind and benevolent.
