If Zhuge Liang died in Phoenix Slope and Pang Tong assisted Liu Bei, would he achieve greater success?

If Zhuge Liang was shot dead in Luofengpo, and Pang Tong assisted Liu Bei, Liu Bei Group would surely achieve greater achievements and even unify the whole country, because Pang Tong's proposition was in line with the actual situation of Liu Bei Group, and Zhuge Liang's Longzhong strategy had just laid a major hidden danger for Liu Bei Group, and only Pang could resolve the huge strategic crisis in Longzhong.

The Strategic Differences between Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong are important advisers under Liu Bei. After Battle of Red Cliffs, Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong were both promoted to "corps commander" and participated in the military decision-making of Liu Bei Group. They agreed that Liu Bei Group had captured Yizhou, but they had great differences on Jingzhou.

Zhuge Liang insisted on defending Jingzhou, because the northern expedition from Yizhou was difficult. If Jingzhou is occupied, it will be convenient to get to Wancheng in one day. What's more, it is not easy to fight Jingzhou, and it is not easy to give up easily. If we follow Longzhong's strategy, we can divide our troops into two ways and win.

Regarding Jingzhou, Pang Tong thinks that Jingzhou should be abandoned and Yizhou should be fully managed, because Jingzhou is a place of four wars and should not be defended, and Cao Cao and Sun Quan are eyeing it. If you hold Jingzhou, it will increase the military burden. It is better to fully manage Yizhou, concentrate superior forces and seize Guanzhong area.

What would happen if Zhuge Liang was shot to death? Zhuge Liang is good at internal affairs and foreign affairs, while Pang Tong is good at military affairs. That's why Liu Bei took Pang Tong to fight in Sichuan, and Pang Tong didn't live up to expectations, giving Liu Bei advice and laying an important foundation for Liu Bei to seize Yizhou. It's a pity that Pang Tong died in Fengpo. What if Zhuge Liang is shot and Pang Tong stays in Jingzhou?

If so, Pang Tong will enter Sichuan to meet Liu Bei, assist Liu Bei to capture Yizhou, and establish a hegemony. Then, according to Pang Tong's military deployment, Han Shu Group will hold peace talks with Wu Dong and cede Jingzhou area, in exchange for Wu Dong's military and grain support, so that the two countries can form an alliance with by going up one flight of stairs.

Pang Tong presided over the Northern Expedition and then unified the whole country. If Liu Bei Group abandons Jingzhou at the suggestion of Pang Tong, it can shrink its troops by about 50,000, and get the support of Sun Quan Group's troops and grain, and get the huge manpower and troops of Jingzhou Group. Liu Bei Group not only pacified Hanzhong, but also pursued victory and gained Liangzhou and Guanzhong areas.

Liangzhou region produces horses, while Guanzhong region produces grain. Compared with Jingzhou area, these two places are easier to defend, so Liu Bei Group will be divided into the west, thus gaining great advantages. In this case, referring to the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the Northern Qi Dynasty and the Southern Chen Dynasty, Liu Bei Group is fully capable of winning the Central Plains.

Visible, liu2 bei4 group into also long2 zhong4 strategy, defeat also long2 zhong4 strategy, and open the long2 zhong4 strategic deadlock is Pang Tong, unfortunately, Pang Tong's early death, will bring huge losses to liu2 bei4 group.
