Zizhi Tongjian: Pang Tong's personal opinion of Liu Bei's Yizhou!

After Fa Zheng arrived in Jingzhou, he secretly said to Liu Bei:

With the general's wisdom and ability, Liu Zhang's cowardice and incompetence should be exploited. Zhang Song was the main official of Yizhou, and with his internal response, it was easy to attack Yizhou. ”

Liu Bei hesitated.

Pang Tong said to Liu Bei:

"Jingzhou is desolate and broken, the talent has been exhausted, there is Sun Quan in the east, and Cao Cao in the north, it is difficult to win." Nowadays, Yizhou has a million hukou, fertile land, rich property, if you really get Yizhou as capital, you can become a great cause! ”

Liu Bei said:

"Now, the only person who is on the same page as me is Cao Cao." Cao Cao is harsh, I am generous, Cao Cao is fierce, I am merciful; Cao Cao is deceitful, I am faithful; always contrary to Cao Cao, things can succeed. What if we now lose faith in the world because of greed for small profits? ”

Pang Tong said:

"When the world is in chaos, it is not possible to calm it down by one method. Moreover, annexation is weak, attacking ignorance, obtaining by uncivilized methods, and then governing by proper methods, these behaviors are all advocated by the ancients.

If, after the matter is decided, Liu Zhang is given a vast fiefdom, what is the violation of Xinyi! Ten thousand steps back, even if we don't take it today, it will eventually fall into the hands of others. ”

Liu Bei agreed with him.

Therefore, Zhuge Liang and Guan Yu were left to guard Jingzhou, and Zhao Yun was appointed as the Sima of the Camp, and Liu Bei personally led tens of thousands of infantry into Yizhou.

Fa Zheng Pang Tong asked Liu Bei to seize Yizhou. Liu Bei believes that this is not authentic, and it is easy to lose the benevolent reputation accumulated for a long time!

Although Liu Bei's heart was very eager to get the feng shui treasure land of Yizhou, he still could not agree with Fazheng's opinion. After all, he also wants face, and eating can't be too ugly!

If Liu Zhang is directly killed according to Fazheng's intention, then even if Liu Bei gets Yizhou, he will not be loved and supported by the local people!

As an old jianghu who has struggled for many years, Liu Bei is well aware of the importance of people's hearts, so he can't agree with Fazheng's straightforward hard grab!

But Liu Bei struggled for many years, wasn't the purpose of expanding his power in order to seize territory? Therefore, it is necessary to take Yizhou, but what way to take it, to achieve the effect of cutting the two sides of the tofu with a knife, this is a more laborious thing.

Of course, this problem did not need to be solved by Liu Bei himself, and his military master Pang Tong had already thought of a reason and plan for him.

Pang Tong told Liu Bei to take it backwards, and then obeyed it, saying that the previous people did this, and they were loved and supported by the people.

Liu Bei was completely receptive to Pang Tong's statement and began to implement this plan.

It's just that Pang Tong's statement is really a bit confusing, how could Liu Bei accept it?

In the sense of Pang Tong, for example, that is,

If a person is sick, it costs a lot of money to see a doctor, and the patient's family does not have that much money.

At this time, his family unexpectedly found that his good friend had a diamond necklace, the value of which was just enough to treat the disease, and whether the family could take the diamond necklace privately and go to treat his family.

After he is well, he will earn money to buy back his diamond necklace!

If this example is logically consistent with Pang's claims, then the patient's family can be said to be stealing.

Therefore, according to this logic, Pang Tong also let Liu Bei steal something, he was stealing Xichuan, and after stealing, he gave Liu Zhang points, which seemed quite funny!

Of course, if you feel that the logic is not smooth, then you can watch a joke, you can also laugh it off.

Let's talk about this!
