Chapter 1047: The so-called name of Crouching Dragon and Phoenix
Feng Chu's appearance was beyond everyone's expectations.
If Pang Tong really came to defect to Liu Bei, then on paper, Liu Bei's think tank lineup might even have a chance to compete with Cao Cao in the north.
It turns out that Zhuge Liang was alone. He could deal with Xun Yu, Xun You, Jiang Wan, Jia Xu and others, but the other party also had the terrifying Yi Xiaotian. As long as Yi Xiaotian appeared behind him, no matter what happened, there would basically be one
A clear conclusion.
It can be said that Zhuge Liang was almost crushed by the heavy pressure back then.
Later, Fa Zheng arrived. Although it was not particularly grand, the appearance of Fa Zheng gave Zhuge Liang great relief, and it also became the best supplement that Zhuge Liang could not achieve in terms of reconciling people's hearts.
As long as he avoids his sharp edges and does not confront Cao Cao head-on, Zhuge Liang will become increasingly confident in handling some local conflicts and wars.
But now, the appearance of Pang Tong has finally made this humble balance disappear.
When characters like Wolong and Fengchu are brought together, it's hard to say whether they will have a more powerful effect. But even if the two are completely incompatible, if they are used separately and the king does not see the king, this will also be a blow to Liu Bei.
The camp has been greatly improved.
But those who know the reason why Wolong and Phoenix are so called will not worry about the compatibility of the two people at all.
The world only knows that Crouching Dragon and Phoenix Young is a very high praise for Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong, but few people know that the skills of these two people are more or less from the same source.
Yes...these two are classmates, and even the series of titles from Shui Jing to Crouching Dragon and Phoenix are all titles given by their teacher, Pang Degong.
Needless to say, Sima Hui. Although this person has not clearly expressed his intention to follow Liu Bei for so many years, as long as Zhuge Liang asks for it, Sima Hui, who is elusive near Xiangyang, can always bring him various gossip information.
.
Zhuge Liang, Sima Hui, and Pang Tong all had a happy relationship with Pang Degong when they were young or young.
Of course, before and after the fall of Jingzhou, because Pang Degong was unwilling to become an official, especially unwilling to accept Liu Biao's invitation to become an official, he chose to live in seclusion in Lumen Mountain near Xiangyang and basically never showed up again.
At the same time, Sima Hui lectured and studied in the school run by Liu Biao in Xiangyang, regardless of political affairs.
Among the small circle of Jingzhou scholars, only Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong were the most suitable people who truly wanted to serve as officials.
Either Sima Hui and Pang Degong would encourage these two people from time to time. They are both our own people, so it is natural for them to support them.
It can be said that Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong were destined to become the faces of Jingzhou scholars before Red Cliff. In the future, they would lead a large number of Jingzhou scholars to travel everywhere and become famous.
The so-called bureaucratic parties are like this. In later generations, there are the so-called Guanlong Group, the so-called Xiangyang Group, the Qinghe Group, and the Qingzhou Group—these are huge bureaucratic groups formed by fellow villagers relying on weak ties but uniting together.
Among them, there are good and bad bureaucratic groups - for example, the Guanlong Group, since the prototype of the Qin and Han Dynasties emerged, has exported a large number of famous marshals and generals to the past dynasties. To a certain extent, it helped the rulers of each dynasty to open up territories and consolidate
Hero of the dynasty.
It is also an example of how in troubled times, the generals of the Guanlong Group took advantage of the situation to rise and eventually established a glorious dynasty.
But... the civil service group is different.
Most of the civil service groups are not there to protect the country, but to defeat the political opponents in the court. For the country, if the leading figures in this civil service group are still capable, then
Fortunately, the country can at least have this clear direction of development.
But if you are unlucky and most of the leaders of the civil service group are typical treacherous people, then the subversion of a dynasty or a country will only happen in an instant.
Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong carried this hope.
However...there seems to be something wrong in the middle.
Both Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong were silent for longer than expected.
Zhuge Liang was laughed at and called a village man, and he even became a laughing stock among others for comparing himself to Guan Zhong Leyi every day.
Pang Tong, on the other hand, went to Jiangdong without any trouble, was hired by Zhou Yu, and became an idle meritorious official. Pang Tong's name was nowhere to be seen in the major events that occurred in the next few years.
Over time, people seem to have forgotten the original bond between Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong.
Although Pang Degong never admitted that he was Zhuge Liang's teacher, the fact is that Zhuge Liang's skills, especially his knowledge in astronomy, geography, arithmetic and calendar, were basically inherited from Pang Degong.
The reason why Pang Tong will not conflict with Zhuge Liang is that Pang Tong quickly has a broad-minded evaluation, because he has the same habit as Sima Hui, which is to evaluate others - the key is that when he evaluates others, he is not
Objectively speaking, as long as he can take a fancy to someone, he will definitely praise others. The end result is that people often come into contact with the people he evaluates and find out that the other people are not as good as Pang Tong evaluated.
Pang Tong's explanation is very interesting. He said that the world is in chaos, justice has faded, and there is less good and more evil. He evaluates others in order to rely on this behavior to lead a culture of praising others, thereby promoting good and setting an example for the world.
It can not only educate the world, but also encourage those who are being evaluated. It achieves multiple things with one stone, so why not do it.
At that time, Pang Tong had not even made any achievements himself, so he began to think about how to help others so that they could be put to good use by all parties. Such a person could not be the kind of narrow-minded person who cares about little gains and losses and would be jealous of others.
character of.
As for another point, it is easier to understand, that is, the main directions of attack of the two are basically staggered.
In fact, many people who paid attention to these two battlefields have already discovered since the Battle of Chibi and the Battle of Hanzhong that Zhuge Liang's military accomplishments, especially in strategy, are by no means without weaknesses.
No matter what time, his strategy has always highlighted the word "stable". In the battle of Chibi, the reason why Sun and Liu allied forces fought the world-famous painting of burning Chibi is mostly due to Zhou Yu's courage to fight and choose the high-risk and high-reward strategy.
Strategy - Zhuge Liang is just the icing on the cake and adds some insurance for the Battle of Chibi.
The Battle of Hanzhong was a battle completely controlled by Zhuge Liang alone, and many problems arose as a result.
For example, when Wei Yan and Zhang Fei made reckless mistakes in their own army, which led to the delay of the fighter plane, although this may not be directly related to Zhuge Liang, after all, he also reminded him when he should, and even specifically ordered the people around Zhang Fei to stop him.
Above, but after the results come out, no matter how you put it, this should be an issue of military management.
Not to mention that in the later duel with Jiang Wan, Jiang Wan, who was a newborn calf who was not afraid of tigers, faced off on the battlefield and was defeated head-on.
Zhuge Liang's military shortcomings are obvious.
But Pang Tong was not only incompatible with him, but also complementary in it.
