This time, Jet Li was beyond my expectations. For the first time, the idea of "this person can be an acting school" came up. Naturally, the character of Pang Qingyun is also very brilliant. I don't want to discuss whether he is a villain or a big-minded person, whether he is scheming or stupid and short-sighted - I don't care about these, what I care about is that this person is "interesting". Regarding Pang Qingyun's behavioral motives, I just want to explain it this way: As a person who has been an officer and walked the right path, the difference in philosophy between him and the bandits is impossible to bridge. Was Pang's betrayal planned in the first place? I don't believe that judging from his later actions, this person's IQ does not have the possibility of such foresight. His bond with Zhao and Jiang was very simple. Those two took him in, and the three of them could survive together. He said that he did not believe in the name submission, but in order to maximize the interests of this small group, he still made a compromise with the bandit's ritual. Zhao and Jiang's fight in Shu Cheng's first battle was true, but he couldn't say that Pang's madness was false. After all, he had only one choice at this time. But once he returned to the role of the official army, Pang had to pick up the rules of the game that the bandits despised and that he once abandoned. When desperate, Pang can compromise with Zhao and do a life-threatening business with him; once he has spare time, Pang takes it for granted that Zhao will compromise with him in return, because there is only one life, and it is impossible to play with him forever. Zhao, who was used to being a bandit, couldn't accept Pang's rules of the game. He could die as a bandit with pride, but he was unwilling to betray his promise and become an official to live. He was willing to pay this price, and naively believed that everyone else would. When fighting Suzhou, Zhao Erhu tried to use the bandit method to relieve the crisis for the small group, and Pang Qingyun also tried to use the official method to relieve the crisis for the small group. In the face of the common enemy, the difference in methods is not a problem for the time being. When it comes to laying down Nanjing and Zhao Erhu's private division of army salaries and the suggestion of the three old men, it will not work even if they do their own thing. The formation of this deadlock made it impossible for Pang to take Zhao with him on the right path, at least he thought so (although the court did not actually give him the opportunity to go on alone). And Jiang was forced to a dead end by Pang Zhao's incompetence. Before, he always insisted that "big brother is right", because his bottom line was very high - "three brothers live and die together". Jiang is the most trustworthy of the three, and the lives of outsiders are not necessary. The outsiders can include two soldiers who raped the women, including thousands of soldiers, and even the second sister-in-law. Brothers cannibalism is ten thousand. Absolutely not. In order to keep this bottom line, he did everything he could, whether he should do it or not, whether he wanted to do it or not, he was the most disillusioned, and therefore the most pitiful.
As for whether Pang's beautiful words for the sake of the common people are true or false, I personally think that they are both true and false, deceiving others and deceiving myself. Pang has ambitions, but he is not conceited and tenacious enough to ignore everything for ambition. When beheading two soldiers, perhaps he really wanted to straighten military discipline purely instinctively; and when he began to follow his own desires and decided to sacrifice others for this goal, he also needed a reason to comfort himself. Strange to say, what impressed me the most about Pang Qingyun was the sentence he said to the passerby who killed him when he was named, "Remember my face, and reincarnate to seek revenge on me in the next life." In fact, this person is both peaceful and cowardly in nature, just to live in the way he agrees with, and he will always sweep away all those who stand in his way with apologies and excuses that he has made up for himself.
