The current top ten famous generals in Chinese history: Sun Wu, Wu Qi, Sun Bin, Bai Qi, Han Xin, Wei Qing, Ran Min, Chen Qingzhi, Li Jing, Qi Jiguang. In fact, these top 10 generals were also selected by later generations. The reason why Zhao Yun is not on the list is not because of his ability, but because the top 10 places are really limited, so Zhao Yun was not included. But depending on the version, Zhao Yun is still among the top 10 generals in some versions.
Zhao Yun is really a very brave general. We all know Zhao Zilong’s brilliant record of seven in and seven out. Zhao Zilong is known as the ever-victorious general. He has never suffered a defeat in his life, and his records are all victories. So many of us can't understand, how can such a brave man not be ranked in the top ten?
Then let’s take a look at the top ten people. In our impression, some of them are not very famous, and we even don’t know the origins of some of them. So are these ten people better than Zhao Zilong? I don’t think so. After all, each of them has his own glorious record and many commendable actions, so there is no way to compare them.
And there is a saying that says that there are a thousand Hamlets in the hearts of a thousand readers. Some people think that Zhao Zilong is the best in the world, while some people may think that Zhao Zilong is nothing more than that. Therefore, the reason why Zhao Zilong was not selected into the top ten is not necessarily a problem of his ability. So we don't need to pursue these rankings and the like excessively. These are secondary things. We all know his bravery and his ability. It is enough.
