It is worth discussing that both Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were present at that time. Did Zhao Yun steal Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's thunder by doing so?
The BMW that Zhao Yun gave Liu Bei is called Luma, which is one of the best BMWs in the history of the Three Kingdoms. Other BMWs, such as Lu Bu's Red Rabbit Horse, were later owned by Guan Yu. Cao Cao's BMW is missing and so on.
Regarding the process of Zhao Yun taking the horse for Liu Bei, Zhao Yun did it neatly and wonderfully.
See Chapter 34 of Romance of the Three Kingdoms: Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Yu and Zhao Yun rode under the banner of the city gate and saw Zhang Wu riding a horse, which was very handsome. Liu Bei said, "You must travel thousands of miles." Before he could finish, Zhao jumped out and rushed at him. Zhang Wu rode to meet him, but Zhao Yun shot him to death. He grabbed the reins and led the horse back to the array. When Chen Sun saw it, he rushed to take it. Zhang Fei let out a cry and stabbed Chen Sun with a gun. Everyone is in pieces.
At that time, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei didn't make moves, but Zhao Yun did. Zhang Fei, in particular, is hot-tempered and irritable. That's a short temper. Theoretically, eldest brother Liu Bei said that he liked this horse, and Zhang Fei should take the initiative, but why did Zhao Yunxian take the initiative?
We can analyze the reasons.
It is rare for Liu Bei to show his preferences so clearly, which is very rare compared with Liu Bei's invisible personality. However, when Liu Bei saw the horse that Zhang Wu was riding, he could tell at a glance that it was really unusual. As can be seen from the word extremely handsome, it is a swift horse, and Liu Bei can't help boasting, which is beyond his control.
Perhaps all heroes prefer beautiful BMW ponies to beautiful women and jewels. For example, Cao Zhang once traded beautiful women for BMW.
When Liu Bei said that he liked this swift horse, Zhao Yun made a move first for the following reasons.
First, this is because Zhao Yun's reaction is quick. That is to say, when Liu Bei's words came out, before Guan Yu and Zhang Fei could react, Zhao Yun had already reacted, so it was better to strike first.
Secondly, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are Liu Bei's brothers and should be Liu Bei's strong backing. They should not go to war easily in the face of the enemy. Otherwise, if they fall into the enemy's plan, the rear army will be out of control and cause chaos.
Thirdly, Zhao Yun, as a general of Liu Bei, is more suitable for mounting. After all, in the battle of armies, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, as Liu Bei's right-hand men, should always be ready to analyze the battlefield situation and make strategic plans for Liu Bei, and Zhao Yun is most suitable for such things as taking the lead.
