This matter has to start with Liu Bei's taking four counties in the south of Jingzhou. After Battle of Red Cliffs in 208 AD, Zhou Yu and Liu Bei pursued Cao Cao to Nanjun and laid siege to Jiangling together. Liu Bei took the opportunity to take Jingzhou Wuling, Changsha, Lingling and Guiyang counties. At that time, Zhao Yunling led the troops to capture Guiyang (now Chenxian County, Hunan Province), and Zhao Fan, the magistrate of Guiyang, knew that he was not an opponent and took the initiative to surrender in Kaesong.
In order to make the best of the friendship of the landlord, Zhao Fan invited Zhao Yun to the mansion and hosted a banquet. Zhao Yun and Zhao Fan, the magistrate of Guiyang, are both surnamed Zhao, fellow villagers and the same age. When drinking, Zhao Fan proposed to become brothers with Zhao Yun. Zhao Yun was overjoyed and agreed. In order to win over Yidi, Zhao Fan came up with a honey trap and stubbornly married Fan Shi, the widowed sister-in-law, to Zhao Yun. History shows that Fan Shi is a very beautiful woman.
I thought Zhao Yun would accept it gladly, but he suddenly changed color and said sharply, "Since I am your brother and your sister-in-law is also my sister-in-law, how can I do such a disorderly thing!" So he severely hit Zhao Fan in the face and refused the belle Fan Shi. Zhao Fan was angry for a while and rebelled again. Later, Zhao Yun pacified Guiyang twice, arrested Zhao Fan, escorted people to Liu Bei and talked about the scandal.
When Zhao Yun married Fan Shi, Zhuge Liang said, "This is also a beautiful thing. Why is this happening? " In the face of the strategist's question, Zhao Yun did not dare to be vague at all, and directly said four reasons: "Since Zhao Fan is a brother, if he marries his sister-in-law, he will be reviled." His wife remarried, which made it a big festival, secondly; Zhao Fanchu surrendered, his heart is unpredictable. Your master has newly appointed Jianghan, and his pillow is not firm. How dare Yunan ruin your master's event with a woman? "
Zhao Yun's four reasons, which were involved in the scandal of marrying Fan Shi, seemed to cover everything. Reasonable and impressive. Listen to fierce, really admirable. But the clever Zhuge Liang still understands that Zhao Yun and Zhao Fan are brothers. Why not marry Zhao Fan's sister-in-law? Zhao Fan's brother is dead, Fan Shi is single, and Zhao Yun is single. Who will make irresponsible remarks? Fan Shi remarried disgracefully, while Fan Shi was young and widowed. Should he be widowed all his life? Widowhood was advocated in ancient times, but remarriage was not prohibited. -Zhao Yun still doesn't like being a widow. Liu Bei didn't seem to understand, so he inexplicably inserted this sentence: "Today's general trend has been set, so what if I marry you?"
At this time, the boss spoke, and Zhao Yun had to answer: "There are many women in the world, but I am afraid that my reputation will not stand. Why not marry? " As soon as this statement came out, Liu Bei suddenly understood Zhao Yun's true thoughts, which made Liu Bei very embarrassed and had to say insincerely: "Zilong is a real husband!" "
Zhaoyun didn't marry Fan Shi, a beautiful woman, because she has a "virgin complex" and she doesn't like being a widow. This ending is not difficult to understand.
