If Pang Tong did not die, could Liu Bei really pacify Yizhou and thus unify the world?
Introduction: It is said that the Wolong Phoenix Chick, the one who can be safe in the world, Liu Bei did not hesitate to surrender his identity when he was in Jingzhou, three Gu Maolu asked Zhuge Liang to come out of the mountain, and then Zhuge Liang helped Liu Bei analyze the situation in the world and formulate a strategic plan. Under Zhuge Liang's planning, Liu Bei took all of Jingzhou, and at the same time received help from Pang Tong. Pang Tong's talent was not inferior to Zhuge Liang's, he helped Liu Bei formulate a plan to attack Yizhou, and at the same time followed Liu Bei to attack Yizhou, but he was accidentally killed on the luofeng slope, which was the tragedy of Pang Tong and the tragedy of Liu Bei. Liu Bei's side had no choice but to draw Zhuge Liang from Jingzhou because of the history of Pang Tong, but at the same time it also caused an emptiness in Jingzhou, which was later divided between Eastern Wu and Cao Wei.
If Pang Tong did not die, Liu Bei would have no problem in pacifying Yizhou. At that time, Pang Tong had followed Liu Bei to attack Luo County, the city was very close to Chengdu, and in history, Liu Bei successfully took Luo County shortly after Pang Tong's death, and at the same time invited Ma Chao to besiege Chengdu together, and Liu Zhang had to surrender when he ran out of ammunition and food. If Pang Tong was still alive, the progress of attacking Chengdu would be faster, and Liu Bei could also cultivate earlier.
Moreover, Pang Tong had different views on Liu Bei's strategic planning, zhuge Liang's Longzhong pair was based on Jingzhou as the core, and after capturing Yizhou Hanzhong, the army attacked Cao Wei in two ways. However, Pang Tong believed that although the Jingzhou region was rich, it also bordered Cao Wei and Eastern Wu, which was a land of four wars and had to pay a lot of energy to maintain this area. Pang Tong suggested that Liu Bei could focus his main energy on Yizhou, because Yizhou was the country of Tianfu, where there was no war for many years, and Liu Zhang's family foundation was also strong. They could take the initiative to abandon Jingzhou, let Cao Cao and Sun Quan compete for food, and take advantage of their struggle to take Longxi and Liangzhou.
Liangzhou is located on the border, rich in war horses, the Western Liang Iron Horse is famous all over the world, dong Zhuo used the Western Liang cavalry to control this imperial court, and the Kwantung princes were afraid of his troops. Not long ago, Ma Chao took the Western Liang Iron Horse to fight with Cao Cao, and Cao Cao was killed by Ma Chao to abandon his robe, thus proving that the combat effectiveness of the Western Liang cavalry still existed. Now that Ma Chao already had the last wish to defect to Liu Bei, he could join forces with Ma Chao to take the Western Liang region, and then Shu Han would have the blessing of war horses. With the blessing of the Shu Han dynasty, gongjin Chang'an occupied the Kanto region without much problem.
After Liu Bei took Guanzhong, the territory of the Shu Han clique at this time was already beneficial to the four regions of Prefecture, Hanzhong, Liangzhou, and Guanzhong, with a population of more than 2 million people. Cao Cao only had the Central Plains, Hebei, and Sun Quan only had jiangdong and jiaozhou, and at this time, the two families were still fiercely competing for Jingzhou. Shu Han could continue to cultivate and recuperate and sit on the mountain to watch the tiger fight, and when Cao Cao and Sun Quan were both defeated and injured, they would directly send troops to attack the core areas of Cao Wei, such as Wancheng, Luoyang, and Xuchang, and let Cao Cao's ability be stronger, and under the strong military strength of Shu Han, failure was only a matter of time. After Shu Han defeated Cao Cao, he was able to unify the world.

Conclusion: After Liu Bei's death, Zhuge Liang knew that it had become impossible to take back Jingzhou, so he adjusted his strategic deployment and repeatedly attacked Longxi and Liangzhou in the Northern Expedition, with the purpose of seizing the population resources and warhorses here. But at that time, the national strength of Shu Han was already very weak, so why did he earn with Cao Wei? Therefore, Zhuge Liang's six out of Qishan were fruitless, and finally he died of exhaustion in Wuzhangyuan.
