"Wolong Phoenix Chicks, get one can get the world", this sentence has been circulated for more than a thousand years, and Wolong Phoenix Chicks are also well known in the world. But Zhuge Liang's deeds are almost known to everyone, but Pang Tong died young, following Liu Bei and dying of an arrow shortly after following him, so the question is, Pang Tong's life does not seem to have any major contributions, why can he still be on par with Zhuge Liang?
Most people know about historical figures from novels and TV series, let's first look at how pang Tong in the history of pang tong is.
Chen Shou's "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is a relatively reliable evaluation, in this book, the author Chen Shou likes to put the same level of characters in a biography, such as "Zhang Leyu Zhang Xu" column biography, indicating that Zhang Liao, Lejin, Yu Ban, Zhang He, Xu Huang are good generals of the Wei state.
So who did Pang Tong pass on? The answer is Fazheng, so in Chen Shou's eyes, Pang Tong and Fa are just a heavyweight figure. And Zhuge Liang is a separate biography, throughout the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", there are only two people listed by the courtiers alone, Zhuge Liang is one of them, and the other is Lu Xun of Lu Xun of Eastern Wu who "goes in and out of the picture, and has both talent and morality", which shows that in Chen Shou's mind, Zhuge Liang and Lu Xun are one-level figures.
Let's look at the folk image, Zhuge Liang is already a god-like figure in the folk, he is clever, strategic, honest, loyal, is a great military man, politician, diplomat, inventor, etc., and has also been admired by many poets and emperors of all generations, which is incomparable to Pang Tong.
However, the folk image is through the myth, no one has seen it with their own eyes, but people have passed it on by word of mouth, so the credibility is not particularly large, and only the benevolent see the wise.
Perhaps because Pang Tong passed away too early, his deeds are little known, but since Pang Tong met with Pang Degong when he was 20 years old, he was praised by the other party as the "Crown of nanzhou soldiers", and his reputation was instantly shocked, which Zhuge Liang did not have, but Zhuge Zhuge was good at selling himself.
After Pang Tong returned to Liu Bei, his performance was really good, first of all, he handled the official business of Leiyang County for a hundred days in half a day, and Zhang Fei admired him. In this practice, Liu Bei saw that Pang Tong was a strategist with foresight and foresight, and Liu Bei's decisive step pang Tong's contribution was indelible.
In the end, Pang Tong offered Liu Bei three great plans, but Ken regretted that when he went to war, Pang Tong was shot by an arrow by the enemy because of the problem of standing, and did not die at Luofengpo as in the novel. This also became the last plan in Pang Tong's life.
The "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" describes Pang Tong as a quick success, want to rush to make meritorious contributions for Liu Bei will be mistakenly trapped, died in Luofengpo, in fact, this is not true, Pang Tong's death is completely an accident, and his lack of wisdom has nothing to do with it, can only say that his life is not good, or neglected to protect himself, only to die unexpectedly.
Although Pang Tong died young, as far as Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang, and Pang Degong's evaluation of Pang Tong is concerned, it can be seen that Pang Tong's talent is by no means under Zhuge Liang, but the development direction of the two is different, coupled with Pang Tong's early death, he did not make much contribution to Liu Bei, which will make people feel that Pang Tong is a misunderstanding of his name!
Therefore, Pang Tong and Zhuge Liang are equally famous, and some people may say that Zhuge Liang's military ability is not as good as Pang Tong, because after Liu Bei had Pang Tong, he only took Pang Tong and did not take Zhuge in battle, and only Pang Tong died with Zhuge Zhuge with him.
However, the editor confirmed that Zhuge Liang's military ability would never be bad, and the history books only recorded that Zhuge Liang's military division was a little lower than his own political ability, and did not say that he was not good at military. It's like a primary school student, Chinese 98, math 99, English 100, can this say that this student's language is not good? Definitely not.
But if you want to give Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong a name that is really difficult, everyone is facing a different situation, the coping strategy is also different, I believe that no one can distinguish who is high and who is low, can only say that they are very powerful, but the personal situation is different, so the future generations have different views on it, you netizens, what do you think?
