Bagabuxsha vs Zhao Yun

Bagabuxsha (Megabyzus the Elder) was one of the seven Persian nobles who conspired to overthrow the Magian usurper Gaumata. He played a key role in the coup that brought Darius I to the throne, securing his position as a trusted advisor.

Bagabuxsha commanded Persian troops in the suppression of a revolt in Babylon. He successfully captured the city, reasserting Persian control and demonstrating his military capability.

Bagabuxsha was appointed satrap of Aria, a province in the eastern part of the Persian Empire. He administered the region, ensuring loyalty to Darius I and collecting tribute.

Bagabuxsha died around 470 BC. He is remembered as a key figure in the establishment of Darius I's rule and as a capable military commander and administrator.

During Cao Cao's pursuit at Changban, Zhao Yun rode back into the enemy lines to find Liu Bei's family. He rescued the infant Liu Shan (later Emperor Liu Shan) and Lady Gan, fighting through Cao Cao's cavalry and returning safely to Liu Bei.

Zhao Yun served as a key commander in Liu Bei's campaign to conquer Yi Province. He led troops in several battles and was instrumental in securing the province. After the conquest, he was appointed General of the Standard.

Zhao Yun advised Liu Bei against launching a punitive expedition against Sun Quan for Guan Yu's death, arguing that the primary enemy was Wei, not Wu. Liu Bei ignored his counsel, and the campaign ended in disaster at the Battle of Xiaoting.
