During the Three Kingdoms period, various heroes emerged in an endless stream, and they each held together and established their own country, and eventually formed a three-legged situation.
Fu Long and Feng Chi, the two get one, can be safe in the world.
Each country has its own outstanding talents, like the Shu kingdom has two major talents of "Wolong Phoenix". Of course, at that time, wolong phoenix chicks were real talents, not with a little pejorative meaning as now.
The so-called Fulong is also Wolong, referring to Zhuge Kongming, Zhuge Liang, and Feng Yan refers to Pang Tong, since both of them are talents of the Shu Kingdom, can the two of them distinguish between high and low?
In the matter of looking at Jingzhou, it can be seen.
Liu Bei, the founder of the Shu Kingdom, was originally a peddler who sold straw shoes, and we first began to know him from Liu Guanzhang Taoyuan Sanjieyi.
Guan Yu was the oldest, and in the end both of them were happy to surrender and let Liu Bei become the eldest brother, from here we can see that Liu Bei may have some talent, but the means of buying people's hearts and minds are unique, and they can become the rulers of the Shu state, a large part of which benefits from this reason.
Therefore, when Liu Bei heard Sima Hui's suggestion, he would not hesitate to go down the mountain to Xinye Wollongong, and invited Mr. Zhuge down the mountain without entering.
Moreover, of course, the person who can make Liu Bei so persistent and must get it, it is not difficult to see that this person's talent is absolutely extraordinary, even top-notch.
Cao Ying's side won several major victories in a row, and then began to train sailors in Yecheng, its purpose and ambition are self-evident, and the next target is obviously Jingzhou and Yangzhou in the southern Yangtze River Valley.
Liu Biao, who was guarding Jingzhou, died, and in the face of Cao Ying's ferocious attack, Liu Biao's son directly conceded defeat. In this way, in just a few months, Cao Cao achieved his goal, took the whole of Jingzhou, and in just two months, he set out in full gear and launched the Battle of Chibi.
In the Battle of Chibi, Cao Ying claimed to have an army of 800,000, and he also had to pursue Liu Bei's Shu army. Zhuge Liang stepped forward in the midst of danger and went in and out of Eastern Wu alone. A flurry of tongue-in-cheek convinced Eastern Wu to resist Cao Ying.
Shu Wu united against the Cao army, but poked the cao army fiercely, and they counterattacked all the way to Nan County.
Cao Ying was defeated and returned to the Central Plains from Jiangling, which can be described as a return to the pre-liberation period. Cao Ying only took one Nanyang County, which was very different from Cao Cao's original plan.
At this time, Zhuge Liang took the opportunity to borrow Jingzhou from Eastern Wu, to fight steadily for the lord Liu Bei, to enhance his strength and continuously expand his power outwards, which can be regarded as Liu Bei's right-hand man, laying a solid foundation for the Shu kingdom, and was deeply valued and loved by Liu Bei.
However, Pang Tong was not so smooth.
He was originally discouraged in Eastern Wu, and took advantage of the opportunity to cooperate, he was introduced by the State of Shu and surrendered to Liu Bei, but because of his appearance, he was disliked by Liu Bei and only got a small county order. This really discouraged Pang Tong for a long time.
Fortunately, there was no shortage of wisdom on the side of the Shu Kingdom, and Zhang Fei saw Pang Tong's talent, helped him all the way, and gave him the opportunity, so that he became Liu Bei's deputy military division and had the opportunity to show his skills.
Kung Fu pays off, the soldiers trained by Pang Tong have improved a lot more than the original combat effectiveness, making the military strength of the Shu State much stronger at once, and this pearl of Pang Tong is polished and rounded, and it shook to Liu Bei's eyes, and Liu Bei also began to look at him squarely.
When Liu Zhang was in decline, Pang Tong immediately reminded Liu Bei and helped Liu Bei take Xichuan and Hanzhong in one fell swoop.
It can also be seen from this that when Liu Bei first started his business, he was indispensable to Zhuge Liang's help, and after the stability of state affairs, it was Pang Tong who made the state power more prosperous, and the merits of these two people really cannot be compared.
Later, when Pang Tong's status rose and he was on an equal footing with Zhuge Liang, the two often had the same views and opinions, so that their talents seemed to be similar.
However, in the case of Jingzhou, Pang Tong seemed dwarfed.
What are the advantages of Jingzhou?
Jingzhou is a natural granary, where the land is fertile and water source advantages are very sufficient, so the grain production is abundant, the food is sufficient, more people come here to live, resulting in the prosperity of personnel, for the military, whether it is military supplies, or recruitment, here is a hot good place.
In addition, because of the topographical factors, Jingzhou is also an easy to defend and difficult to attack place, it is adjacent to Bashu and Eastern Wu, and the back is a large area of central plains, which shows that Jingzhou is definitely a treasure for any country.
As early as when Liu Bei invited Mr. Kong Ming, Zhuge Liang had drawn a blueprint for him.
General Feng Yi sent the army of Jingzhou to Xiang Wan and Luo, and the general led the people of Yizhou out of Qin Chuan
It can be seen that Zhuge Liang was far-sighted and had long seen the importance of the land of Jingzhou, and Liu Bei took Jingzhou according to this blueprint drawn by Zhuge Liang, and used his advantages to take away Yizhou Hanzhong successively, so that the Shu state had the opportunity to become one of the three legs at that time.
So how does Pang Tong, who was repeatedly frustrated at a young age, view Jingzhou?
Jingzhou was desolate and ruined, and the characters were lost. Moreover, there is Sun Quan in the east and Cao Cao in the north, and it is difficult to have a big development
Regarding the matter of Jingzhou, Pang Tong and Zhuge Liang had a great disagreement, believing that Jingzhou was a desolate enemy, embattled, and it was really beneficial to take down without any harm.
As a result, according to practice, Pang Tong's views are wrong.
Thinking about the reasons for the fall of the Shu state, Guan Yu's careless loss of Jingzhou accounted for a large part of the reasons.
For the fortress of Jingzhou, only Guan Yu was sent to guard the town, and due to Guan Yu's arrogance, Jingzhou was lost, so that the Shu state directly faced a war with Eastern Wu.
At that time, the shortcut of the Yangtze River was lost, and when it was overland, the march was slow, the camp was burned, and after years of careful planning, it was finally destroyed, and the Shu state became the weakest of the three kingdoms.
After Liu Bei's death, Zhuge Liang's expansion of power ended in failure each time, and the end of the crossbow could not last long, and it was quickly destroyed by other countries.
Zhuge Liang's vision is indeed much smarter than Pang Tong's, and his ideas have withstood the test of practice.
It was just that the person who guarded Jingzhou was mistaken, so that the grumpy Guan Yu caused Sun Quan to be angry and directly lost Jingzhou.
One wrong step at a time, this matter was like the first card of a domino, which eventually led to the demise of the Shu Kingdom.
