We all know that the State of Wei had five sons and good generals, the Shu Han had five tiger generals, and Eastern Wu had 12 fierce generals, juxtaposed in the same biography of the Book of Wu, known as the Twelve Tiger Ministers of Jiangdong, which 12 were there?
The first is the three generations of elders, Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, and Han Dang;
Next were the generals who charged and did not even frown, Jiang Qin and Chen Wu;
Zhou Tai, who doesn't talk much harshly and has a knife scar all over his body;
Dong Xun and Ling Tong, who used their lives to fight for Sun Quan;
Born in the grass and reckless, the fierce generals who turned their lives upside down, Gan Ning, Xu Sheng, pan Zhang;
The last one is the new generation of Eastern Wu, the youngest younger brother of Xiong Xi Khan, Ding Feng.
If we look at the round so quickly, we will find one thing, does Sun Quan particularly like 8 + 9 (Hokkien language, bad teenagers), how it seems that half of them are from local to national military generals?
Yes, Sun Quan loves this mouthful.
<h1 class="pgc-h-decimal" data-index="01" > introduction</h1>
Today's story, first of all, one of them has the most rogue atmosphere, and Sun Quan knows the earliest, Pan Zhang, Pan Wenjue.
When did his fate with Sun Quan begin? When Sun Quan was 15 years old, Sun Ce let Sun Quan be a small county magistrate, at this time Pan Zhang began to follow Sun Quan, then Pan Zhang must have some powerful deeds, let Sun Quan look at him at the beginning, right?
In fact, Pan Zhang's personality is debauched, he likes to drink, and his family is poor, but even if he pays on credit, he still wants to drink.
The creditor came to the door to ask for money, and Pan Zhang said to those people, I will definitely make a fortune and establish a big cause in the future, and I will definitely pay it back when the time comes!
Seeing this side, I didn't say Sun Quan, what do you really like about him? Isn't this just a drunken and big-talker?
In history, we all know that Liu Bei and Cao Cao are good at using people, but in fact, Sun Quan's ability to recognize people and use people is not at all inferior to those two. Take it casually, such as Lu Su, Lü Meng, Gan Ning, and Pan Zhang.
These are probably alternative generals that others will not use and dare not use, but Sun Quan can put them in the right position.
Pan Zhang did not live up to Sun Quan's expectations, and he attacked Shanyue to pacify the thieves, building his reputation step by step. In the early days of Eastern Wu, there was always the problem of mountain crossing, so fighting mountain thieves was probably the novice task of Eastern Wu generals.
However, don't underestimate Yamakoshi, they are also experienced in war. Before this, Pan Zhang had never led troops to fight at all, he was originally just a hooligan, and he actually led more than 100 people to blow up these mountain thieves and bandits, I am afraid that even Sun Quan was shocked in his heart.
Pan Zhang's length in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms is not much, and his life is written in just a few paragraphs.
So why do I especially want to talk about Pan Zhang, if the popularity vote is held, Gan Ning's vote will definitely win.
But Pan Zhang is uninhibited, willful and chaotic, and there is really a set of wars, which makes him very similar to Gan Ning, and I list 3 points here to make a comparison:
<h1 class="pgc-h-decimal" data-index="02" > full of jianghu flavor</h1>
The first thing Pan Zhang and Gan Ning have in common, of course, is their jianghu atmosphere.
Records say that Ganning recruited a group of "light and thin teenagers", that is, a group of bad teenagers with bows and arrows, who went out, either by car or boat.
The "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" gave Gan Ning the title of "Jinfan Thief", but the history books did not see this word, but said that Gan Ning was a person with luxurious clothes, feathers and bells, if loyal to history, they should be called "Ding-Dong Xia".
The difference between Pan Zhang and Gan Ning is that one has money and one has no money, so Gan Ning can be a ranger, and Pan Zhang can only be a tramp.
Fortunately, Boss Sun Quan doesn't look at your origins. In the record, Sun Quan "loves Pan Zhang", and the worse you are, the more I love.
Pan Zhang and Gan Ning, in normal society, everyone avoids them, but Sun Quan sees what is special about them. On the battlefield, Gan Ning and Pan Zhang are fierce generals who can exert their fighting instincts.
<h1 class="pgc-h-decimal" data-index="03" > born reckless, never forget this</h1>
Some generals are willing to study and study, like Lü Meng, who is willing to work hard and transform into an all-round governor.
But Gan Ning and Pan Zhang are "8 + 9 a day, 8 + 9 for life", this side is not to say that they have courage and strategy, in fact, Gan Ning's overall situation and response to the battle can be seen that he has quite a tactical mind, but the fiery temper has not changed.
Once in the Ganning gang room, someone made a mistake, and the man escaped to ask Lü Meng for help. Gan Ning came forward to see Lü Meng's mother and assured Lü Meng that he would not pursue the matter, so Lü Meng returned the gang to Gan Ning.
As a result, Gan Ning grabbed the soldiers, suddenly turned his face, tied him to a tree and shot him. More terrifying than a madman is probably a madman who pretends to be calm.
This method is too cruel! After Lü Meng heard the news, he couldn't stand it either, and angrily wanted to send troops to attack Ganning's warship.
Gan Ning later cried and apologized to Lu Meng to put an end to the matter.
So let's talk about Pan Zhang, Pan Zhang is also a rogue big brother who does not forget Ben. In the past, I loved to drink and spend money, but after becoming famous, I loved to drink more luxuriously.
The clothes he wore and the utensils he used were even more luxurious than Sun Quan's, which was a bit of an exaggeration.
The supervision unit repeatedly made small reports to Sun Quan, but Pan Zhang still went his own way.
In fact, after Gan Ning became the main general of Eastern Wu, he had many great achievements, and he was not so lawless.
Pan Zhang is even more chaotic, but how did Pan Zhang become so rich?
Whenever the war ended, Pan Zhang set up a military market, and the camp directly became a military Chinese creating a market.
Other armies, as long as they lack something to come to Pan Zhang, can buy any kind of thing, maybe he has earned a lot of commissions into his pocket.
To make matters worse, Pan Zhang killed wealthy non-commissioned officers and soldiers several times and then robbed them of their belongings.
So I was thinking, although Pan Zhang said that the person who lent him money in the first place said that he would definitely repay the money after he had money, who dared to come to his door to collect debts with him?
<h1 class="pgc-h-decimal" data-index="04" > I'm going to hit ten</h1>
The last thing they have in common is that both men love to challenge difficult tasks and are often able to win with fewer hits and more.
Ganning is most famous, of course, "a hundred people robbing Cao Camp". This crazy assault frightened Cao Jun and made Sun Quan say the phrase "Meng De has Zhang Liao, and lonely has Gan Xingba." Because this article mainly talks about Pan Zhang, this side will first skip Gan Ning.
Pan Zhang's personal bravery and good fighting, the pursuit of the establishment of merit, although the army he led only a few thousand people, but the battle is like a large army of tens of thousands of people.
The army is strictly disciplined and the combat effectiveness is amazing, Gan Ning uses a hundred people to challenge the other side's army, although Pan Zhang is not so fierce, but his style of leading soldiers is also like this, dare to fight, dare to fight, not afraid of death.
What is interesting here is that we once again see that Sun Quan's employment methods are very beautiful, he will not let such uncontrollable generals as Gan Ning and Pan Zhang lead the main army, but choose the appropriate battlefield for them to play. And Pan Zhang's most famous in the annals of history is the following battles.
In the Battle of Hefei, Sun Quan withdrew his troops and was raided by Zhang Liao, and in an unguarded situation, Chen Wu was killed, Song Qian and Xu Sheng retreated, and the army was in disarray.
Pan Zhang beheaded the two fleeing small soldiers, and the soldiers saw the situation, so they turned back to engage the enemy army, and Sun Jun greatly praised Pan Zhang and worshiped him as a partial general.
Here Pan Zhang was not playing a rogue, when the morale of the army was low, this kind of rout was the most terrible, so he immediately decided to kill the deserters and stabilize the situation.
In another war, the Battle of Gangneung, I once again saw that Pan Zhang also had a strategic side.
The Wei state of Cao Zhen and Xiahou Shang besieged Nan County, and built a pontoon bridge on the river, seeing that the Wei army had soldiers crossing the river every day, I don't know how many enemies there were in total, for Eastern Wu, attacking is not, defending is not, Zhuge Jin and others are very distressed.
At this time, Pan Zhang spoke: The Morale of the Wei army was high at the beginning, this was not the time to fight with them, and it was necessary to seek another strategy.
So he led his army upstream, cut a million bunches of reeds to make a boat, lit it and went down the river, which could burn the pontoon bridge. Next, Zhuge Jin's army was dispatched, and finally the enemy army was blocked, allowing Cao Zhen and others to retreat.
There is also a battle, that is, the battle in which Pan Zhang's troops defeated Guan Yu, which is a sad story for Shu Han fans.
In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, it is said that Pan Zhang's subordinate Ma Zhong captured and killed Guan Yu, which is the same as the historical facts. Ma Zhong defeats Guan Yu and obtains the rare treasure Red Rabbit Horse, which is of course the plot of the novel.
I once described Lu Xun as a governor who twice shattered Liu Bei's dreams: the first time was to capture Jingzhou with a proud military strategy, and the second time was to burn Yiling to defeat Liu Bei.
Coincidentally, pan zhang did the same: the first time, his subordinate Ma Zhong beheaded Guan Yu, and the second time Pan Zhang's troops beheaded Liu Bei's general Feng Xi. In both wars, Pan Zhang participated, and he also made meritorious contributions.
It can be said that it is another Eastern Wu general who has twice crushed Liu Bei's dreams.
<h1 class="pgc-h-decimal" data-index="05" > Panda Jun has something to say</h1>
Of course, personal preferences or feelings are not the focus of judging historical figures.
Finally, in conclusion, on the many goalkeepers in Eastern Wu, Pan Zhang may not be the top few that everyone thinks, but I think he is not as close as Gan Ning.
The Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms writes about Gan Ning and Pan Zhang, both using the word "麤猛", after all, their personalities are really quite similar, and after Gan Ning's death, Sun Quan let him continue to be the same age as Gan Ning's troops.
Basically, we can say that Pan Zhang is a poor version of Gan Ning, who knew Sun Quan when he was a high school student.
Although others looked at Pan Zhang, he was a terrible, but in Sun Quan's heart, Pan Zhang was probably like a kind big brother, and he was also a good general he could not replace in the future.
