Zhuge Liang was deeply appreciated by Liu Bei. Is his strategy really that strong?

In ancient strategic thinking, the story of the dragon among dragons has far-reaching significance. Zhuge Liang's strategy can be said to be unprecedented, and Pang Tong is also far-sighted. Both of them are contemporary talents.

Zhuge Liang's "Longzhong Dui" not only talked about the core idea of "three points in the world", but also talked about where Liu Bei should go in the period of three pillars. He focuses on Jingzhou. Because Jingzhou is bordered by Shu in the west and Wu in the east, its geographical position is very superior. Wei can be fought in the north, Shu in the west and Soochow in the east, which is a very good strategic location.

In view of this, Pang Tong is in favor of Zhuge Liang's point of view, but in Jingzhou, Zhuge Liang's consideration is not as far-sighted as Pang Tong's. First of all, Jingzhou is a strategic place. It is convenient for you to attack other countries, but you are always faced with sneak attacks from other countries. Sun Quan, if Cao Cao comes to harass you from time to time, you will be overwhelmed at all; Secondly, compared with Sun Quan and Cao Cao, Liu Bei's hardware is still a little poor. Even if Jingzhou is captured, it will certainly be weakened. If you stick to Jingzhou, you have not recovered, and you have to deal with the attacks of other countries. It's simply not worth it.

Later, the development of history also verified Pang Tong's strategy. Shu and Wu formed an alliance and betrayed Liu Bei, which led Guan Yu to defeat Maicheng and Dongwu to win Jingzhou in one fell swoop. I am not denying Zhuge Liang's longzhong right. His "Longzhong Dui" analyzed the tripartite confrontation of the Three Kingdoms at that time and the whereabouts of Liu Bei very well.

It's just that Zhuge Liang is a scholar in white Before he was with Liu Bei, he never went to the bottom of the army to learn more about it, nor did he become an official. His view of the overall situation is somewhat limited. If Zhuge Liang meets Pang Tong, Zhuge Liang's resourcefulness and Pang Tong's pragmatism, foresight and foresight are combined, it will be really invincible.
