In the Three Kingdoms, Pang Tong told Liu Bei on his deathbed You have been deceived by Zhuge Liang, and the fall of Shu Han stems from this
A drop of water falls into the river and unconsciously merges into the mighty Yangtze River. The Shu Han of the Three Kingdoms, standing on the land of Bashu, is like a broken bamboo. However, behind the glitz is the torrent of infighting, which eventually buries hidden dangers for the great rivers and mountains. The death of Shu Han is like a white horse passing through a gap. The reason for the demise of the country lies in the internal contradictions of Liu Bei's group.
i.The establishment of Shu Han and Liu Bei's talent.
As a result, Liu Bei relied on his strategist Zhuge Liang to occupy the territory of Bashu and establish his own regime. At that time, Shu Han's strength was unmatched. Liu Bei's subordinates are full of talents, and Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Pang Tong, and Zhuge Liang are rare in the world. Liu Bei eventually received the help of the illustrious Zhuge Liang. With the help of Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei fought against Cao Cao along with Sun Quan. In the beginning, three forces were formed.
At that time, Shuhan Group was full of talents. Liu Bei is the brother of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei and has a prominent reputation. Later, he was assisted by heroes such as Pang Tong and Zhuge Liang. Liu Bei has a resolute temperament and is the spiritual leader of everyone.
Zhuge Liang is the commander of Shu Han, calm and cautious. Guan Yu is brave and good at fighting, known as the enemy of 10,000 people, and is Liu Beijun's trumpeter. Pang Tong, also known as Zhuge Liang, is known as the world's first talent. Liu Bei also had rare talents under him, such as Huang Yueying and Fa Zheng.
The national strength of Shu Han increased greatly for a while, and Liu Bei was ambitious. Liu Bei has a lot of talents in his hands, and he wants to dominate the world and revive the Han family. At that time, Shu Han was full of talents, and no one was invincible, and Cao Cao was far from his opponent. Liu Bei also lamented that he was blessed with so many talents.
Secondly, Pang Tong and Zhuge Liang gradually began to hate each other.
However, two eagles cannot live on the phoenix tree. When two eagles live in the same tree, contradictions begin to arise. Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong were both Liu Bei's subordinates. One is good at Wen Tao Wu strategy, and the other is far-sighted. The two have their own strengths, and they can both give advice to Liu Bei's career. However, there is no banquet in the world, and problems gradually begin to arise between the two. Zhuge Liang has a stable and introverted personality, while Pang Tong is enthusiastic and a late bloomer. The two have different interests and hobbies, and differences gradually emerge.
Zhuge Liang is far-sighted and good at planning. Liu Bei admired his wisdom, and Zhuge almost always asked him for advice. Pang Tong is different, he is outspoken, sharp-tongued, and not afraid of power. The two have very different personalities and inevitably have differences. In addition, Zhuge Liang has a weak and introverted personality, while Pang Tong is enthusiastic and ambitious, and things that are not in his interests also happen from time to time.
A very important reason is that Liu Bei trusts Zhuge Liang too much. Liu Bei must ask Zhuge Liang, Zhuge Liang's words are holy decrees. Because of this, Pang Tong had no heart and wanted to establish his prestige in front of Liu Bei, but he always pulled Zhuge Liang into the water. In the end, Pang Tong gambled on Zhuge Liang's heart knot.
In addition, Zhuge Liang is introverted, and many decisions are hidden from Pang Tong. Pang Tong was more outspoken and wanted to give Liu Bei more advice, but Zhuge Liang always obstructed him. This made him feel that Zhuge Liang had excluded him. There are signs that the chasm between them has deepened.
Liu Bei was in civil strife, and Pang ** died.
If Liu Bei can come forward to resolve the dispute, he will be able to keep the foundation of Shu Han. However, Liu Bei is an outspoken person who does not know how to protect himself well. He could not resolve the dispute between the two and could only let it develop. In the end, in the Battle of Hanzhong, Pang Tong did not listen to Zhuge 's advice, attacked Xicheng, and finally died on the battlefield. Shu Han lost his general, and Liu Bei lost his strategist.
At that time, Liu Bei decided to attack the Hanzhong military village. Pang Tong advocated a direct attack on Xicheng, but Zhuge Liang believed that Xicheng was easy to defend and difficult to attack, so it was better to adopt flank tactics and bypass the northern mountains. They again discussed this issue at a military meeting. Liu Bei couldn't accept this compromise, and Pang Tong was also dissatisfied when he saw that Liu Bei rarely accepted his strategy. He decided to take Xicheng himself. Liu Bei did not stop him and let Pang Tong go.
As a result, the enemy captured Pang Tong, who entered the trap and was finally killed. The morale of the Shu army plummeted, and they could only go back in disgrace. Pang Tong was very cautious before his death and persuaded Liu Bei to return to the right path. After Pang Tong's death, Liu Beijun's heart was disheartened and military discipline was relaxed. After Pang Tong's death, Liu Beijun's heart was disheartened and military discipline was relaxed. The result of this battle was satisfactory.
Liu Bei shouldn't have allowed these two people to quarrel. He should beat them hard and punish them for their unforgiving behavior. Even if you accuse Pang Tong of not listening to yourself, it is better than watching Pang Tong go to death. Liu Bei ignored the dispute between the two, which undoubtedly laid the root of Shu Han's troubles.
Liu Bei's blind revenge led to the defeat of Yiling.
In the end, Guan Yu fell for Cao Wei's trick to lure the enemy. Liu Bei was annoyed and angry by the loss of Jingzhou, and personally led his army to take revenge on Wu. Zhuge Kongming was ignored, and Liu Bei was eventually defeated in the Battle of Yiling. Shu Han has been in a slump since then.
After Guan Yu was captured, Liu Bei was grief-stricken and vowed to avenge Guan Yu. The generals advised him that this was too much and that he should consider it carefully. But Liu Bei was already furious and wanted to avenge Guan Yu. In a fit of rage, he disregarded Zhuge Liang's dissuasion and decided to attack Eastern Wu.
Seeing this, Cao Pi immediately sent troops to rescue Eastern Wu. The Shu army went deep behind enemy lines, with neither food nor grass nor soldiers to pursue. In the end, Liu Bei was defeated at Yiling and had to retreat. This defeat dealt a heavy blow to Shu Han's vitality and national strength. Liu Bei regretted it, but it was too late.
In fact, Liu Bei's actions were too reckless and risky. If he follows Zhuge Liang's advice and temporarily retreats, he can keep his power. However, Liu Bei was full of hatred and no one advised him, which eventually led to his defeat. Before his death, Pang Tong advised Liu Bei not to use troops in anger, otherwise he would definitely be defeated. But after Pang Tong's death, Liu Bei had no one to advise, which eventually led to defeat.
Liu Bei thought of what Pang Tongtuo said when he was alone.
After the war, Liu Bei regretted entrusting the orphans to the White Emperor. Looking back, he couldn't help but sigh. With his talents, he could have dominated the world. But infighting has ruined his promising future. After the defeat, Liu Bei couldn't help but think of Pang Tong saying that Zhuge Kongming was wrong. Now it seems that the foundation for the defeat of Shu Han was laid when the contradiction was on the verge of breaking out.
But you can ask Liu Bei why he thinks so highly of himself and allows the civil strife to continue in this way. Here, you can also discover Liu Bei's character. Liu Bei has a gentle temperament and is not good at losing his temper. He has a heroic spirit, but is a bit unsuitable for meeting people. He regarded the people as brothers rather than subordinates, and therefore could not solve their problems decisively, but allowed them to deteriorate. He doesn't know how to perceive the people's feelings and mobilize the people's hearts, so he can't unite the ministers, scatter the sand, and form a boulder.
Liu Bei fought alone in the White Emperor City, constantly blaming himself and thinking about himself, and finally realized that he was weak and incompetent. He could have quelled the dispute between Pang Tong and Zhuge Liang and avoided civil strife in Shu Han. He could have listened to advice and avoided the risk of making mistakes. But it was his weakness that led to Shu Han's defeat.
Thinking of this, Liu Bei silently shed tears of remorse. As a leader, he made too many mistakes. Years of hard work were buried in his own hands. At this time, Liu Bei understood what Pang Tong's words meant. The decline of Shu Han began with the inevitable civil strife.
Liu Bei's weakness, Zhuge Liang's arrogance.
In addition, Liu Bei trusted Zhuge Liang too much, and his words were like prophecies. He couldn't balance the forces of all sides, but instead created a hall of words. Although Zhuge Liang is cautious, he is not omniscient. Liu Bei trusted Zhuge Liang too much and limited his vision. When Pang Tong and Zhuge were at odds, Liu Bei couldn't suppress Zhuge and promote Pang Tong, so he could only watch Pang Tong lose 800 soldiers and finally die. This also illustrates Liu Bei's weakness and incompetence.
Zhuge Liang was too conceited and underestimated Pang Tong. Pang Tong is decisive, Zhuge is cautious, and there is no absolute advantage or disadvantage between the two. But Zhuge was very confident and didn't want Pang Tong to steal his limelight. Liu Bei couldn't suppress Zhuge 's arrogance, so he let Zhuge defeat Pang Tong. Zhuge was arrogant and gradually contributed to the civil strife in Shu Han.
From the audience's point of view, we can find that both Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang have certain problems. Liu Bei was too cowardly to unite his ministers; Zhuge Liang is too arrogant and arrogant to exclude dissent. It was their problems that led to the death of Pang Tong and the civil strife in Shu Han. If Liu Bei can understand the people's feelings, reconcile the ministers, and if Zhuge Liang can be humble and humble like a valley, maybe the great mountains and rivers can be reunited and usher in a moment of victory.
There are all kinds of indications that the main reason for the demise of Shu Han was the struggle between the people. Liu Bei could not intervene between Pang and Chu, so he could only let the contradictions intensify. In the end, the two sides insisted on their own words, Liu Bei lost his right hand, no one checked and balanced, and finally died with a whimper. Xiao He also succeeded, and Xiao He also failed. When Liu Bei was entrusted to be orphaned, he should remember Pang Tong's words, and the decline of Shu Han began with this infighting.
The Three Kingdoms have been established for a long time. But the clouds will eventually lift. Liu Bei relied on the fox fur armor, but ignored that unity is the foundation of a strong country. Eventually, his dreams were shattered, and he could no longer see the sun in the clouds. In the final analysis, it was either Shu Han's misfortune or Liu Bei's infighting. Posterity can only sigh.
