Why did Liu Bei Jinchuan abandon Zhuge Liang, but take Pang Tong with him?

Liu Bei entered Sichuan to prepare to seize Yizhou, but Zhuge Liang did not go with him, and replaced Pang Tong, who had just entered Liu Bei's camp. Liu Bei abandoned Zhuge Liang and took Pang Tong into Sichuan for a certain reason, one Pang Tong's ability is not under Zhuge Liang, and doing this task is just to exercise Pang Tong, and Liu Bei can also see Pang Tong's strength because of this. Second, Jingzhou is very important and needs someone with authority in the army to lead it, which leaves Zhuge Liang behind, which is also Liu Bei's performance of valuing Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Liang, Guan Yu and Zhao Yun did not go to Yizhou with Liu Bei, and guarded Jingzhou. Jingzhou is an important cornerstone of Zhuge Liang's "Longzhong Pair" strategy, so it needs to be consolidated and guarded, and it is not important that Yizhou will not be able to defeat for a while, the important thing is that Jingzhou must not be lost. On the other hand, Zhuge Liang and a heavy general did not go together, so that Liu Zhang would not be too suspicious, otherwise, if Liu Bei and others were detained by Liu Zhang in Yizhou, it would be dangerous.

The most important point is Pang Tong. Pang Tong had just come to Liu Bei's side, eager to make meritorious contributions to establish his position, although Pang Tong's ability was not under Zhuge Liang, but he still wanted to go hand in hand with Zhuge Liang. Of course, this is also the reason why Liu Bei usually always asks Zhuge Liang in front of Pang Tong, as soon as he asks Pang Tong's opinion, Liu Bei will say what Zhuge Liang thinks and thinks, which probably caused Pang Tong's jealousy, so Pang Tong will make meritorious contributions, and going to Yizhou is also proposed by Pang Tong, and the original plan was not planned so quickly.

Pang Tong was anxious for quick success and quick profit, and finally died in Fengpo, which Zhuge Liang also reminded Pang Tong, Zhuge Liang knew that Pang Tong's temperament was the most urgent. But Pang Tong didn't listen, and he felt that there was nothing wrong with his strategy. From this point, it can also be seen that Pang Tong is extremely unsuitable for being a strategist, because Pang Tong's overall concept is not very strong, Pang Tong likes to win in danger, which is not very suitable for Liu Bei, but it is very suitable for Cao Cao, or Zhuge Liang is more stable, Pang Tong is used to being chic and idle, and there is no sense of proportion when encountering things.

Because Pang Tong came out of Sichuan and was very familiar with Sichuan, Liu Bei chose Pang Tong instead of Zhuge Liang when he entered Sichuan.

Because when Liu Bei entered Sichuan, Pang Tong gave him a lot of his own opinions and put forward some opinions on entering Sichuan, but Zhuge Liang did not provide some ideas for Liu Bei's reference at that time, so Liu Bei took Pang Tong into Sichuan.

At that time, Zhuge Liang wanted to guard Liu Bei's base camp Jingzhou, so he couldn't accompany Liu Bei to Shuzhou, so he could only take the deputy military division Pang Tong into Sichuan!

Pang Tongdao is called Feng Xiao, and his ability is at the same level as Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei just handed over the most important rear to Zhuge Liang to guard, not to enable him.

Because he felt that if he used Zhuge Liang, he would have no use, so he would be like this.

<>Although Zhuge Liang can indeed be said to be an all-rounder, this does not mean that he can do his best in any aspect. Chen Shou once commented on him in "The Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms, Shu Shu, and the Biography of Zhuge Liang": "Governance is long, and conspiracy is short; The work of managing the people is better than the generals". In other words, Zhuge Liang's talent in governing the country and securing the people is more prominent than his military talent.

Comparatively speaking, Pang Tong may be better at military strategy. This can be seen from the upper, middle and lower three strategies proposed by Pang Tong when Liu Bei took Sichuan.

Moreover, when Liu Bei entered Sichuan, Jingzhou was attached at the beginning, and many problems needed to be solved. Mr. Tian Yuqing pointed out in the article "Longzhong's Re-understanding", the fifth question "The Loss of Crossing Jingyi", that after the Battle of Chibi, Sun Liu compromised, and Liu Bei could only gain the counties south of the Yangtze River and west of Xiangshui, which was not a developed area in Jingzhou, and was not enough to resist Sun Quan's attack that might be launched at any time. Especially after Liu Bei's main force entered Shu, Sun Quan could not tolerate Liu Bei's forces that remained in Jingzhou for a long time.

It can be seen that in this case, leaving the "rigid and self-contained" Guan Yu alone to guard Jingzhou is obviously quite unreliable (this can be seen from Guan Yu's attack on Fan later). And if you want to leave one person to guard Jingzhou with Guan Yu, this person cannot be Pang Tong, who has just attached himself to Liu Bei and has no prestige, but can only be Zhuge Liang as a politician and diplomat.

Liu Bei took Pang Tong to Yizhou to support Liu Zhang. didn't bring Zhuge Liang, that's because this was Zhuge Liang's suggestion. Zhuge Liang believed in Pang Tong's strategy and wisdom very much, and this matter was to help people not to use too many troops, so he asked Pang Tong to go with Liu Bei.

And he and Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others guarded the important land in Jingzhou.

Because he knew that Pang Tong was a resourceful person, he could give Liu Bei advice on the way.

Because Liu Bei knows Zhuge Liang's ability, and Liu Bei trusts Zhuge Liang the most. That's why Zhuge Liang will be transferred into Sichuan.

Because Liu Bei thought that Zhuge Liang was too cautious, he let him stay. Pang Tong has a lot of scheming, dares to take risks, and if he takes him into Sichuan, he can quickly take this place.

Because Liu Bei had to leave one person to guard in Jingzhou when he entered Sichuan, but because Pang Tong had only defected to Liu Bei not long ago, Liu Bei was worried that the Jingzhou soldiers would not accept Pang Tong's management, so it was best to leave Zhuge Liang. Moreover, Pang Tong is suitable for war because Pang Tong has a decisive personality and does not drag his feet, which is very in line with the style of the army, while Zhuge Liang is calm and calm, and is good at starting from the overall situation.

Because Pang Tong's military talent is stronger than Zhuge Liang, Zhuge Liang is good at planning and governing the country. Moreover, Pang Tong had not long taken refuge in Liu Bei at that time, and he urgently needed military exploits to prove himself, while Zhuge Liang needed to stay in the rear.

This is because Liu Bei has a very careful plan, and the most important thing is that Liu Bei is good at calculation, and he brought Pang Tong with him in order to be able to hide the purpose of his entry into Sichuan and not let others find out.

Because Zhuge Liang had more important things, that is, to assist Guan Yu and others to hold Jingzhou, so he took Pang Tong with him.

Zhuge Liang is resourceful, and Liu Bei is afraid that once he has an accident, Zhuge Liang will be able to come to the rescue. If the two of them go together, there is no way to save them.

Because Liu Bei still trusted Pang Tong very much at that time, and also wanted to see his talent. That's why I brought Pang Tong with me when I entered Sichuan, hoping that he could help him.

Because Liu Bei wanted to leave Zhuge Liang to guard Jingzhou, secondly, most of these people brought by Liu Bei were young generations, or had just joined Liu Bei's group, and they all needed to stabilize their position through meritorious service.

With Pang Tong belongs to the east and west, let others think that he is Liu Bei's military advisor, Zhuge Liang is sitting in the rear and guiding the overall situation, Pang Tong is used to paralyze the Shu side, and the leader without strategy is not qualified.

Zhuge Liang wants to guard Jingzhou, which is his hometown. Facts have proved that the military division can protect Jingzhou without worry in Jingzhou, and as soon as he leaves, he is smuggled in.

1. In terms of situation, Jingzhou is more important than Yizhou; Liu Bei in his heart: Zhuge Liang's ability is greater than Pang Tong, leaving Zhuge Liang to guard Jingzhou and taking Pang Tong to Yizhou.

2. Zhuge Liang's political mind is better than Pang Tong: Entering Shu is a political battle rather than a desperate effort.

Because this general is not very obedient, he does not obey the arrangement of the leader, and he has a strong sense of self, and a disobedient general in an army is often a big bomb, which can bring great disasters at any time.

Zhuge Liang preemptively ordered Zhang Ren to be killed, which was to carry the black pot for Liu Bei. If Liu Bei ordered Zhang Ren to be killed, it would undoubtedly have a negative impact on the Shu Zhong family, and Zhuge Liang ordered Zhang Ren to be killed, which not only preserved Liu Bei's name of benevolence, but also eliminated a hidden danger for Shu Han.

Because Zhuge Liang knew that if he stayed, it was likely to lead to civil strife in Shu, so he said to kill.
