Wolong and Fengyan are two terms often used in ancient China to describe talents, and first appeared in the history book "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" built by Chen Shou of the Jin Dynasty, in order to praise Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong in the Three Kingdoms period. In the book, the hermit Sima Hui once said bluntly, "Fu Long and Feng Chi, two people get one, can be safe in the world." ”
However, in the Three Kingdoms, there is a question that makes many historians in history very puzzled, why liu Beigui was the orthodox of the Han Dynasty, and why did zhuge Liang and Pang Tong's two Wolong Phoenix chicks be included under his command, and why did he not win the world in the end? Even became the first country to perish in the Three Kingdoms of Wei Shu and Wu? All this must start with Liu Bei.
Liu Bei was the emperor of the Shu Han Dynasty during the Three Kingdoms period, he was a descendant of the Pure Blood Han Dynasty after the Jing King of Zhongshan, and he was also a famous military general at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty and a disciple of Lu Zhi. Therefore, shortly after his debut, he became a prominent figure in the big historical stage of the Three Kingdoms.
However, people who believe that some knowledge of history know that Liu Bei's origin is very humble, his father died early in the family, and only himself and his mother are left, relying on selling straw shoes for a living. But Liu had a powerful uncle. It is precisely because of the support and influence of Yuan Qi's uncle that Liu Bei did not choose to float for a lifetime because of his family's poverty, which instead gave him a strong strategic vision and lofty ambitions.
Liu Bei's road to rise and fall began with his participation in the suppression of the Yellow Turban Uprising, and after experiencing the Yellow Turban Uprising, he gathered a group of people and horses and Guan Yu Zhang Fei and others, and then participated in the crusade against Dong Zhuo.
In the process of the crusade against Dong Zhuo, Liu Bei's reputation was greatly enhanced, and Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, and Liu Biao's princes threw olive branches for him, and after several twists and turns under these people, Liu Bei finally had full wings. Later, because of the Chibi War, he took Jing and Yi'er Prefectures, established the Shu Han Dynasty, began to reach Cao Cao in the north, resisted Eastern Wu in the west, and successfully changed the name of the country to ascend the throne as emperor.
And the story of him and the Wolong Phoenix Chicks happened in this. However, the story of Liu Beisan Gu Maolu, I believe that it has long been deeply rooted in the cultural imprint of the Chinese nation, so I will not elaborate. As for the phoenix and the young Pang Tong, there is a lot to talk about.
As a "Pang Tong" who was nicknamed Feng Chi, he was by no means behind Zhuge Liang in terms of wisdom and vision, but it is a pity that Pang Tong died on the luofeng slope at the age of 36, and if it is possible to live to the same age as Zhuge Liang, his achievements will not be under Zhuge Liang.
And this also created Pang Tong's very arrogant personality, after all, he really has arrogant capital. Shortly after Pang Tong had just come out of the mountains, he did not think that he would have a relationship with Liu Bei, and the first part of his path of strategists was Sun Quan, but Sun Quan did not pay attention to him, which made Pang Tong very disappointed.
And Liu Bei's initial view of Pang Tong was the same as Sun Quan's, after all, Liu Bei had such a talent as Zhuge Liang, and he always thought that Pang Tong was just a bright existence for Zhuge Liang. However, after the strong recommendation of Lu Su and Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei still regained the heart of seeking merit, and was willing to bow his head and invite Pang Tong back to his account to become his own counselor.
Liu Bei, who had just come into contact with Pang Tong, regretted his previous disdain for Pang Tong, because in some things, Pang Tong really showed no less than Zhuge Liang's talent, but fate seemed to have made a joke with Liu Bei.
Pang Tong did not really show his talent, just died in Luo Fengpo, in the eyes of many Three Kingdoms scholars, Pang Tong's death to Liu Bei Group's potential impact, to some extent, is even greater than Guan Yu's death.
But even so, Pang Tong also made a huge effort to take Yizhou by Liu Bei Group, which played a huge and unique role in the realization of Longzhong's countermeasures. However, in that sentence, Pang Tong's death was an unacceptable blow to Liu Bei's group.
And it is precisely because of Pang Tong's early death that there are many historians in history who blame the reason why Liu Beide wolong fengchi failed to gain the world on Pang Tong's death, believing that if Pang Tong is still alive, Liu Bei's acquisition of the world is just around the corner. There may seem to be some truth to this statement, but is it really true?
The answer is no. First of all, Pang Tong's life and death will only have an impact on liu bei group, but will not produce huge changes in the pattern of the world. Because whether from a military point of view, a political point of view, or an economic point of view, the victory of Cao Wei or the victory of Sima Jin will only be a matter of time.
However, in terms of military strength, Both Liu Bei and Sun Quan could only resist Cao by combining, and once there was a problem in Sun Liu's alliance, they would certainly not be able to resist Cao Wei, which was a historical fact that was nailed down, and it was also a road determined and planned by the fortunes of the times, not a problem that one or two Pang Tong could solve.
And in the deduction of later generations, Zhuge Liang alone has already planned the method of capturing the world of the Shu kingdom, one more Pang Tong, the route of the Shu State will not change, and in the end, the failure to succeed is purely the problem of the Shu State Group itself, and it is definitely not something that Zhuge Liang Pang Tong can solve.
But if this is the case, then "Fu Long and Feng Chi, two people get one, can be safe in the world." "Is it fake?" Not really, in fact, Liu Bei's sentence that he had won the Dragon Phoenix But he had not been able to obtain the world was itself a false proposition, because it was clearly stated in this sentence that the world could be safe with one of them. And an tianxia is the focus of this sentence.
From the literal analysis, the original meaning of an world is to make the world stable and peaceful, and this does not simply refer to the unification of the country. In the vast majority of ancient Chinese cognition, and even modern cognition, the world is not a representative of the territorial, territorial, and so on, but a collection of people.
What is the world? All the people under the heavens, the so-called people and the people, are the real world. After all, no matter how large a country has a large territory and a prosperous culture, when there is no one in this country, the country still does not exist.
Put this view into "Fu Long, Phoenix Chick, two people get one, can be safe in the world." In this sentence, it can be understood. The purpose and significance of obtaining Wolong and Phoenix Chicks is not to achieve the world, but to make the world stable and harmonious, the people can live and work in peace and contentment, and the population rises, which is to make the world safe.
Therefore, Pang Tong helped Liu Bei to obtain Jingyi Erzhou, dividing the world into three parts, reducing the possibility of a large-scale war, which was to stabilize the world. In terms of governing the shu state, Zhuge Liang raised the living standards of the people of Shu Han to a higher level, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and the population increased significantly.
Since ancient times, the fights and killings of the upper rulers often caused the suffering of the people and the people in the end, while in ancient times, there were many talents, and the Magi could only fight for the upper rulers in the ideal and ambition of governing the country and the world.
And Zhuge Liang Pang Tong, as a person with the highest talent in a period of time, can make efforts for the stability of the world and the lives of the people, "Fu Long and Feng Chi, two people get one, can be safe in the world." This sentence and the two titles of Wolong Phoenix Chick are a perfect match!
