During the Three Kingdoms period, there were these two figures with talents in the heavens and the earth, one was Wolong Zhuge Liang, and the other was Fengchi Pang Tong. Sima Hui, a worldly master in the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", once said that the two wolong and phoenix chicks can be safe in the world. Cao, Liu, and Sun all desperately hoped to get these two talents. However, the drama is that these two let Liu Bei, who had the weakest power, get it, but with these two earth-shattering talents, Liu Bei still failed to get the world, and finally could only live in Yizhou, standing with Cao Cao and Sun Wuding. Why can't Liu Bei, who has such powerful talent resources, still not be able to unify the world? Today Xiaobian will give you a good talk.
In fact, in Liu Bei's faction, Pang Tong's military ability was stronger than Zhuge Liang's, and he was particularly good at analyzing the personality of the character and giving advice, and was known for his usual strange plots. For example, he had planned to kill Liu Zhang at the banquet to help Liu Bei gain Xichuan. However, although Liu Bei also had ideas about Xichuan, because of his own hesitation and did not want to use this way to seize territory, he lost an opportunity to occupy Yizhou.
After that, Liu Bei fell out with Liu Zhang, and Liu Bei led an army to attack Liu Zhang. At this time, Pang Tong gave Liu Bei three strategies, the first one, select elite soldiers, day and night directly sneak attack chengdu, can be decided in one fell swoop, this is the upper plan; Second, pretending to return to Jingzhou and leading Liu Zhang's troops to pursue, he could lay the ambush and destroy it in one fell swoop, and then enter Chengdu, which was the middle plan; The third is to return to the White Emperor, even lead Jingzhou, and slowly enter Tuyi Prefecture, which is the next plan. In the end, Liu Bei took the middle plan, although the plan was good, but it was not very smooth. Hence the formation of a stalemate.
And Pang Tong was shot to death at Luofengpo because of his dedication to his deeds. This loss made Liu Bei feel pained. After Pang Tong's death, Liu Bei was in chaos and hurriedly transferred Zhuge Liang to Chengdu, and Zhuge Liang's departure made Guan Yu arrogant and arrogant and lost Jingzhou. After that, Liu Bei's early luck and smoothness ended here, and throughout his life he was only a tiger in Yizhou, and he could no longer take half a step.
Xiao Bian believes that the reason why Liu Bei, in the case of having the two worldly talents of Wolong Fengchi, can only reach the point of dividing the world into three parts. The reason for this is that Liu Bei's personal character shortcomings. From the point of view of personality, although Liu Bei is generous and pro-wise and loves the people, he is also indecisive and hesitant in case of trouble, which can be seen from his adoption of the advice given by Pang Tong. As an emperor, he must be bold and resolute in temperament. Liu's hesitation and benevolence at the critical moment directly affected the advantages of the battle situation and determined Liu's defeat. As mentioned above, if Liu Bei had acted decisively, he might not have lost Pang Tong. And if Pang Tong did not die, Zhuge Liang would not be transferred to attack Xichuan, Guan Yu would not carelessly lose Jingzhou, Liu Bei might become the most powerful force in the Three Kingdoms, then in the end Liu Bei was likely to support the Han Dynasty and pacify the world.
