At the Battle of Longcou for example, Gongsun Zan could have won that battle if he kept pressing Yuan Shao, leaving him with no room to breathe. But what did he do? He did not use the advantage he had to press further, instead he kept maintaining his defense, being a goddamn turtle.
If that is not short-sighted, then what is? By doing that, he had dug his own grave and was later defeated in two more battles. He lost the battle of Jieqiao and as a final result, he burned himself in his home at the end Battle of Yijing!!!” Said Chen Duan with extreme confidence. He said every battle that Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan partook with a disdainful tone toward Gongsun Zan.
“Clap, Clap, Clap!” Liu Mang applauded toward Chen Duan. “Nicely done, bravo!” Chen Duan really deserves to be one of Sun Ce’s top five advisors. He can analyze Gongsun Zan thoroughly.
“How is that huh, Rascal?! How can that man be called a hero?!” Chen Duan provoke Liu Mang again. In his view, Gongsun Zan is a trash that was not even worth mentioning.
“Oh, Does Mr. Chen Duan now understand, what makes one a hero?!” Asked Liu Mang to Chen Duan with a questionable expression on his face.
“I don't understand. Does this rascal understand?!”
“A hero can defined by many definitions.
A man who has a soaring ambition and great aspiration is a hero.
A man who possess the influence and power to take and rule the whole country is also a hero.
