zhao yun

A general from China's Three Kingdoms Period. Most notable of his service to Liu Bei. What impress me the most was he still took part in Zhuga Liang's northern campaign at 70 year old! he was eager to proof his is not old; he cut down the enemy generals and score a victory. later his aggressive almost cause his troop to be cut off from the main army, lucky Zhuge Liang foreseen the danger and support reaches him in time...

"I thought of brave old people, of Zhao Zilong, Who, in spite of numbered years three scores and ten, Was marvelous strong in battle; who one day Slew four opposing generals, as great as When at Dangyang he had saved his lord." Zhao Zilong Slays Five Generals; Zhuge Liang Takes Three Cities. - ROTK chapter 92
