Mr. Shui Jing, an academic leader of the Jingzhou Sect, once said to Liu Bei, who had visited Xian before, that Wolong Fengchi could be safe in the world. At one point, Liu Bei, who was thirsty for talents, had a wave in his heart.
Who is Mr. Water Mirror? Hidden top academic leaders of the Three Kingdoms, leaders of Jingzhou scholarship, students include Kong Ming, Pang Tong, Xu Shu, Cui Zhouping, Shi Guangyuan, Meng Gongwei and many other hermit masters. It can be said that the situation in the world in front of him can be described as unobstructed and clear as the morning stream. But what is puzzling is that Mr. Shui Jing, who has no exhaustive strategy and has not been vain, why did this promise to Liu Bei not be fulfilled in the end?
In 207 AD, Liu Bei, who had been living in Jingzhou for a long time, finally received the guidance of Mr. Shuijing and learned the message of Wolong Zhuge Liang. After several twists and turns, through Zhuge Liang's relationship, he once again got the location of Feng chi Pang Tong. In order to throw bricks and attract jade, Pang Tong even cleverly set up a series of tricks to conceal Cao Cao in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, so that Zhuge Liang Zhou Yu and others could successfully carry out the burning of Chibi, and then calmly escaped from Cao's camp.
The great victory in the Battle of Chibi made the situation in the whole world suddenly clear, and Zhuge Liang's strategic plan for Liu Beilongzhong in the past was also realized one by one. The land of the four wars in Jingzhou, which cannot be defended by the Ming Lord, is the springboard and cornerstone of Liu Bei's foundation. After taking Jingzhou, expanding the foundation and stabilizing the rear became an important goal of Liu Bei's group.
The kingdom of Yizhou Tianfu, the fertile wilderness, and the Wufu Minfeng were the great rear areas of Liu Bei's ideals, and they were also the main stage tasks of Longzhong's strategy. But at this time, the world was agitating, and both Eastern Wu and Cao Cao were eyeing jingzhou. In order to prevent Liu Bei's clique from being taken advantage of and cut off from the back road, Zhuge Liang and Guan Yu stayed in Jingzhou to suppress the covetousness of Eastern Wu and Cao Wei. The matter of Xichuan was entrusted to Zhuge Liang's colleague, the military master Feng Chi Pang Tong.
According to the views of later generations, in fact, Pang Tong had already completed his observation of Liu Bei when he appeared in Chibi, and decided to join Liu Bei's clique. Therefore, at that time, Liu Bei had not yet discovered Pang Tong's true appearance, and he was wronged and appointed him as a small county order, and he did not have the slightest intention of leaving, but instead worked diligently and came to the rescue.

Later, when Liu Bei was surprised to find out that the person he had appointed at random was actually FengYan Pang Tong, he immediately made Liu Bei happy. Wolong Phoenix Chick, can be safe in the world, now that he has both of them, will this big Han's country and mountains still be far away?
In 211 BC, Liu Bei's mastermind Fa Zheng used a plan to ask Liu Bei to send troops into Sichuan. Fazheng's intention was very simple, with the help of Liu Zhang's incompetence and cowardice and repeated bullying by Zhang Lu, so that Liu Bei's army would be upright and upright, and he would successfully enter Shu with a mighty master. It turned out that the sages of good materials in Sichuan and Shu had long hoped that Liu Bei, the male lord, would enter Chengdu.
Fa zheng's strategy is very clever, just as the so-called Ming Cultivation Trail Darkness Chen Cang, nothing more. And there are Fazheng, Zhang Song and others inside for the internal response, outside there is Liu Bei's tiger and wolf division to go forward, the inside should be combined with the outside, taking Down Yizhou can be said to be as easy as probing the bag to get things.
Without further ado, Liu Bei ordered Zhuge Liang, Zhao Yun, and others to guard Jingzhou and provide supplies of food and grass for soldiers, horses, and grass, and ordered Pang Tong, Huang Zhong, Zhang Fei, Wei Yan, and other generals to follow Liu Bei to March to Yizhou, with a strong lineup, which showed that Liu Bei was determined to win Xichuan.
Liu Bei was full of ambition, seeing that great things could be accomplished, but Pang Tong was blind, what did he say when he was dying?
Liu Bei had other plans in mind, so since entering Sichuan Shu and meeting Liu Zhang at Fucheng, he led tens of thousands of troops to delay at Yemeng Pass. Although Liu Zhang was stupid, he was the master of one party in the end, and there were also capable people under his account, so Liu Zhang also began to have doubts about Liu Bei's army, and constantly used the excuse to reduce the sufficient supply of grain, grass, and armaments to Liu Bei's army.
At this time, Pang Tong, a military commander who had already thoroughly eaten the situation in Sichuan and Shu, believed that this was the best time to raise troops, and if it was delayed, it would lose the opportunity not to say anything, and it would also be cut off by Liu Zhang, who reacted to it. Between the words, the three strategies were clearly understood, waiting for Liu Bei to choose.
The strategy is up and down, and the upper strategy is Pang Tong's favorite and most efficient method, specifically Liu Bei immediately led a large army, opened the road with cavalry, and took advantage of the fact that Liu Zhang's group had not yet reacted, and attacked Chengdu in an instant. This plan is almost bloodless, saving time and effort, and is the most provincial for Liu Bei in the entrepreneurial stage.
From this point of view, Pang Tong acted very efficiently, and only by being quite familiar and cautious about the overall situation could he come up with such a simple and efficient plan to the point, not to lose the name of the phoenix.
In the middle strategy, Pang Tong planned for Liu Bei to advance steadily and steadily, seeing the tricks and moves to see the after-effects, he first took advantage of the excuse to kill Liu Zhang's generals Yang Huai, Gao Pei, and others near guankou, annexed and collected their grain and grass soldiers and horses, occupied their territory, and used it as a rear for attacking Chengdu, Xu Xu attacked the towns and forces around Chengdu, and finally knocked on the city gate of Chengdu in a posture of encirclement.
Although the zhongce seemed to be stable, it was actually changeable, time-consuming and labor-consuming, and the loss of troops, because in the local turf war, Liu Bei's clique had already lost to Liu Zhang's clique in terms of geographical advantages and tianshi.
The next strategy can be said to be a strategy to protect the capital, that is, to lead the troops back to Jingzhou and wait for the opportunity to move again, because in ancient times, the money and grain of the army and horses were the capital related to the lives of the family, easy to consume, but it was too difficult to save.
Jun did not see Liu Bei's army of 700,000, and was burned by Lu Xun's fire and even the national fortunes of Shu Han. Therefore, Pang Tong's plan, called the retreat of the army, actually told Liu Bei that the opportunity must not be lost and will not come again.
From the perspective of later generations, it was wisest to choose the best strategy, but At that time, Liu Bei hesitated to look ahead and hesitate, and finally chose a middle strategy that could not be up and down, and decided to take a very unpredictable path.
Sure enough, as soon as Liu Bei's clique advanced, Liu Zhang's clique, which had full geographical advantages and heavenly time, quickly responded and sent the famous Sichuan and Shu generals Zhang Ren, Deng Xian, Wu Yi and others to block Liu Bei. Although in terms of Xiao Yong's combat strength, Liu Zhang's group was inferior to Liu Bei's group, and there were even incidents of surrender.
But after all, liu zhang's group has the advantage of time and place, and liu bei group can no longer advance after winning several field battles. Luocheng, which Zhang Renzhen guarded, became the throat of Liu Bei's clique.
Together with the war, the consumption of soldiers, horses, money and grain can be described as a horror, Liu Bei Group can not advance in one day, And Liu Bei Group's life path will be one day less. Because when Liu Bei's tens of thousands of troops had no food to eat, it was when Zhang Rensheng annihilated Liu Bei's group, and Zhang Ren's calculation was known to Liu Bei and Pang Tong.
Luocheng has narrow terrain, high-sturdy cities, and Zhang Ren has long been in the battlefield, has always known soldiers, and the guard can be described as watertight. Coupled with the continuous supply of materials, money and food in Chengdu, Zhang Ren can be said to be living leisurely.
The gate could not be broken, but Luo Cheng found a small road due to scouting. In a hurry, Pang Tong hurriedly made a plan. The large army attacked the city head-on, attracting the attention of Zhang Ren's defenders, and another person led an army out of the small road, which was unexpected. After several deliberations, Pang Tong led his soldiers and horses towards the path.
As Feng Luo said, the Liu Zhang Group in Zhongce can be said to have taken advantage of the time and place, and how can it not be familiar with the local terrain and geography as an outsider.
Sure enough, Zhang Ren had already taken precautions on the trail, and when Pang Tong led his troops to the middle of the canyon, with the sound of a cannon, rolling stones, falling wood, arrows and other objects fell on the head of Pang Tong's army like the following rain.
Not long after, Pang Tong died of hatred in the middle of the arrow, and the army he led was almost destroyed.
According to historical records, Pang Tong secretly sighed when he led his troops to the mouth of the canyon and saw the stone stele road inscription.
Originally, the name of luocheng trail was Luofengpo, but Pang Tong's road number was Phoenix Chick, which means phoenix that spreads its wings and soars, and the name of this place is not only contrary to each other, but also a warning of falling to death. Is there any definite number in the dark?
Ancient people are no better than modern people, and they can be said to be very cautious about public opinion warnings. However, at this time, although Pang Tong had a panic in his heart, he had orders in his body, not only could not take half a step back, but also had to bravely move forward with thorns and thorns.
Sure enough, Pang Tong had already found it bad halfway through, but the canyon was narrow, and the army could not move for a while, like a turtle in an urn.
When he was dying, Pang Tong did not forget to think about Liu Bei, and not only entrusted the map of Sichuan and Shu that Zhang Song had presented to his confidants, but also asked him to give it to Liu Bei, and blamed his own death on Providence. There was no intention of complaining about Liu Bei.
After the entrustment was completed, Pang Tong, a famous strategist of the Three Kingdoms, fell before he could fully exert his chest strategy.
In fact, when Pang Tong went out on the expedition, he had a dispute with Liu Bei on the issue of the route of the expedition. Narrow trails are raids, and the risk of accidents is extremely high. As a strategist, Pang Tong could only take the initiative to choose the path with a confused future. As a monarch, Liu Bei, in addition to a few words of consolation and gifting his mounts, did not send Zhang Fei or Wei Yan and other skilled military generals to accompany him, but simply let a strategist Pang, who had no power to bind the chicken, lead the troops.
War is a high-risk event of accidental rebirth, Liu Bei is guarded by a large army in the open avenue, and there are many Xiao generals around him. It can be said that it is difficult to think of accidents, and Pang Tong was originally alone in commanding the army, and he rode Liu Bei's eye-catching white horse through the canyon, and it was difficult to think of not being conspicuous.
From this point of view, Liu Beikong took care of hypocrisy and affection, but did not consider practical problems, indirectly burying the life lost by Pang Tong.
In 234 BC, Zhuge Liang, who had bowed to exhaustion, burned the last moment of his life for Liu Bei's Shu Han, and suddenly remembered the words of his mentor Mr. Shui Jing.
It can be said that Kong Ming tried his best, but failed to reverse the situation, what is the problem?
From the perspective of later generations, although Liu Bei's name of benevolence and righteousness spread far and wide in his life, he had more operations from fans. The reason is still Liu Bei's mental problem.
Not to mention the loss of Xuzhou's haste, Jingzhou with the family with the mouth. It is very abnormal to say that Liu Bei twisted and pinched after entering Sichuan Shu. He also wanted to get Liu Zhang's territory, but he was not willing to bear the notoriety of seizing people's foundation. After Pang Tong proposed a strategy, he chose a strategy that could not be up and down.
If you choose the best strategy, Liu Bei will not fall into a bitter battle, and he can easily have Yizhou.
If the next strategy is to first lead the troops back, and then rectify the army and horses to fight steadily and steadily with a dignified and mighty division, they will not fight alone as they do now, besieged and greatly reduced, and the tragedy of the deaths of Pang Tong, Zhang Song and others can be avoided.
Judging from Liu Bei's later operations, Guan Yu died proudly, and Zhuge Liang's bloody family business was destroyed by his will. Since then, Shu Han has no possibility of rising and competing for glory, and the thought makes people sigh.
Liu Bei rose from the end of the wei and rose among the heroes, if it was Zhuge Liang instead of Pang Tong who followed Liu Bei into the river that day, what would the end be?
