At The Beginning of The Game, The Five Tiger Generals Were Intercepted

Following Pang Tong's oath, Liu Bei still captured Luocheng, and finally succeeded in occupying the land of Yizhou.

In the battle of Hanzhong not long after, Liu Bei left Zhuge Liang behind and marched into Hanzhong with Fazheng as his military division.

It can also be seen from this that at least Liu Bei feels that Pang Tong is obviously more suitable for commanding and planning military operations.

Judging from the fact that Pang Tong died in the attack on Luocheng, it shows that Pang Tong has the ability to lead the army alone.

After Pang Tong's death, Liu Bei retreated to the next best thing and chose Fazheng as his military adviser, but left Zhuge Liang who was not from the Yizhou faction to sit in Chengdu.

Is it because Zhuge Liang is not suitable for making suggestions in marching operations, or is there really no one under Liu Bei who can replace Zhuge Liang in Chengdu to command and dispatch?

Maybe Zhuge Liang thought he was a talent like Zhang Liang and Han Xin, maybe Liu Bei thought Zhuge Liang was more like Gaozu's Xiao He.

But the real answer is unknown, maybe only Liu Bei himself has the real answer in his heart.

Judging from Liu Bei's choices at various stages, perhaps no one could take Zhuge Liang's place when troops entered Yizhou and Hanzhong, so Liu Bei had no choice but to let Zhuge Liang sit in the rear.

But one thing is worth confirming, at least Liu Bei recognized Pang Tong's talent in his heart.

Liu Bei must have felt that Pang Tong's ability was enough to help him solve any problems in Yizhou, so he chose Pang Tong as his military adviser.

Perhaps it was really the injustice of the heavens that caused Pang Tong to die young and truly ruined the last hope of the Han Dynasty.

It was precisely because of his untimely death that Pang Tong was crowned with great controversy.

Of course history is fair, and the Three Kingdoms era was even more fair.

Talent and strategy, a rare man in the world, Guo Jia, who made an indelible contribution to Cao Cao's pacification of the Central Plains and the land of Hebei, was only 38 years old when he died.

Zhou Yu, who has both civil and military skills, great talent, broad-mindedness, and magnanimity, has made great contributions to the Sun family. Zhou Yu, who defeated Cao Cao in the Battle of Chibi and made a decisive contribution to the three points of the world, was only given thirty-six years of life. .

If you look at it this way, Pang Tong's death at the age of thirty-six may be God's punishment for these three heroes in troubled times!

Liu Zhang personally has a very high evaluation of Pang Tong. He really hates Liu Bei, but he really admires Liu Bei's knowledge of people.

As long as it is a talent recognized by Liu Bei, Liu Zhang can even believe it without any scruples.

Facts have proved that everyone has made indelible contributions and irreplaceable status to Liu Zhang.

Now that history has completely changed, even if Pang Tong did not give his allegiance to him in the end, Liu Zhang is confident that the war facing Yizhou will not spread to Luocheng.

Then the tragedy of Pang Tong's death in Luocheng will never happen again.

It's just that Pang Tong, a descendant of the Pang family, one of the four major families in Jingzhou, can really ignore the Pang family and invest in Yizhou?

At least Pang Tong in history did not do this.

He joined Zhou Yu because Nanjun was defeated by Zhou Yu. After Zhou Yu's death, Pang Tong returned to Jingzhou immediately and took the initiative to assume the post of Leiyang Commander.

This shows that Pang Tong's primary idea was to be an official in his hometown of Jingzhou.

Now that Pang Tong became an official a few years earlier than in history, and even went to Chengdu in person, this also made Liu Zhang have a small extravagant hope in his heart.

"General Wei knows Wolong?"

Pang Tong's questioning voice pulled Liu Zhang back from his thoughts.

"That's right! Crouching Dragon, Zhuge Kongming also."

Pang Tong was stunned for a moment, unable to control himself in astonishment.

"General Wei is really a god-man. It took Zhuge Liang less than a month to learn the characters. I didn't expect General Wei to know!"

Pang Tong even suspected that there were a large number of Yizhou spies in Jingzhou, and even Lumen Academy had spies. Otherwise, how could Liu Zhang know so clearly!

"Ah...that...cough cough..."

Liu Zhang was even more embarrassed. He blurted out the moment he was proud, completely forgetting that Zhuge Liang had just won the crown.

"I knew Zhuge Liang when he was three years old. Back then he was still living in Taishan County, and Zhuge Liang's late father, Zhuge Gui, was still serving as the prime minister of Taishan County."

How time flies, nearly twenty years have passed in a blink of an eye!

Liu Zhang himself has reached his thirties, and he has several children...

"So that's the case, but I've never heard Zhuge Liang mention it."

Seeing the puzzled look on Pang Tong's face, Liu Zhang knew that Pang Tong should really be ignorant.

"Zhuge Liang lives in Jingzhou, especially since there was a war between Yizhou and Jingzhou, I am afraid that he is worried about causing criticism..."

Although Zhuge Liang is young, his heart is as deep as the sea, which is absolutely difficult for ordinary people to see through.

"It's really strange..."

Pang Tong whispered softly, and the doubt on his face became more serious.

"Shiyuan, what's wrong?"

"General Wei has a gap with Zhuge Liang?"

Pang Tong asked this question so that Liu Zhang couldn't help doubting his life. Let alone serving Zhuge Liang for ten days like his own father, he could be regarded as treating his own son.

"Impossible. When his mother passed away, I helped him with the cooking for three days. He had a volume of Thirty-Six Strategies that I gave him as a parting gift!"

Pang Tong would definitely not base his rumors on grounds. He studied and lived with Zhuge Liang all day long, so he must have heard something.

"Shiyuan, could it be that Zhuge Liang has a problem with me?"

If Pang Tong really nodded to confirm, then Liu Zhang would have to wonder if Zhuge Liang was a white-eyed wolf!

I have treated him with all my heart and soul like this, and instead of being grateful, I got resentment?

"No no!"

Fortunately, Pang Tong shook his head quickly and directly denied Liu Zhang's remarks.

"Back then, our teacher Sima Hui once asked us about our ambitions. If the friendship with Zhuge Liang that General Wei said was true, shouldn't he fall in love with Yizhou and serve?"

Liu Zhang suddenly felt that Alexander, could it be that doing everything equals doing nothing?

"What did Zhuge Liang say?"

Pang Tong shook his head lightly, showing a regretful expression.

"Zhuge Liang didn't say anything. His heart was as deep as the sea since he was a child, and it's hard for ordinary people to see through. What's going on in his heart, even my uncle Pang Degong doesn't know."

Liu Zhang suddenly felt a sense of loss. Could it be that Zhuge Liang saw that he was too powerful and felt that he could not use his talents?

"Forget it, it's still the same sentence, everyone has his own ambitions, why should he think about it?"

Liu Zhang can only rejoice that the development of the matter is really beyond expectations.

I thought I couldn't recruit a counselor, so I could only sit in Yizhou and wait for Fazheng, but Zhuge Liang came to the door by himself.

Well now, there is no trace of Fazheng, and then there is news that Zhuge Liang does not want to come to Yizhou.

Fortunately, God favored Liu Zhang and gave him Jia Xu, Xun You, and now Lu Su and Liu Ye, otherwise there would be no place to cry.

But looking at Pang Tong in front of him, Liu Zhang's mind became active again. Could it be that the crouching dragon is gone, and the heavens give him a young phoenix?
