Wolong and Phoenix chicks can be safe in the world. --Mr. Mizuki
During the Three Kingdoms period, in addition to those brave and invincible fierce generals, such as Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, etc., there was another type of person who was most admired, that is, strategists. They were quick-witted, insightful, and clever in their calculations to help their protagonists achieve a terrifying cause, such as Zhuge Liang, Sima Yi, Guo Jia and others, and if any of these strategists died the most, many people would think of Pang Tong, who was known as the "Phoenix Chick".
In Luo Guanzhong's "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" novel, Pang Tong is a strategist with the same name as Zhuge Liang, who is said to have the talent of the heavens and the earth, the plan of the ghost into the gods, and a very famous saying: "Crouching dragon and phoenix chick can be safe in the world." In the novel, Pang Tong promoted Cao Wei's tiesuo and laid the foundation for the victory of the Battle of Chibi, and later after following Liu Bei, he designed to kill Yang Huai and Gao Pei and obtain Fushui Pass, but then because of Zhang Ren's ambush, he was shot dead in Luofengpo, so that the talented man died so stubbornly, it was really a sigh.
In the new version of "Three Kingdoms", a new explanation is given for Pang Tong's death, that is, Liu Bei refused to attack Yizhou because he cared about Liu Zhang, pang Tong designed to kill Zhang Song in order to make the lord Liu Bei completely determined, forcing Liu Zhang to take the initiative to oppose Liu Bei, after that, Pang Tong used himself as bait to deliberately ambush Zhang Ren's treacherous plan, was shot dead in Luofengpo, and left a suicide note to Liu Bei, stating everything he had done, and finally let Liu Bei make up his mind to attack Yizhou, which was also Pang Tong's sacrifice. In the end, it led to the formation of a three-legged situation.
Of course, the former is the original novel of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and the latter is a TV series, but in the final analysis, many things are fictionalized by authors and screenwriters, so what kind of person is the real Pang Tong in history?
First of all, the historical Pang Tong is not as magical as said in the novel, Pang Tong looks very honest from childhood, and does not look like a storm figure in the cross-cutting, until Pang Tong heard about Sima Hui of Yingchuan when he was 20 years old, this person is high and tall, very good at "the art of knowing people", so Pang Tong may also be in order to rub some popularity for himself, so he went to find Sima Hui, the two people began to talk for a long time next to the mulberry tree, and the two people also fell in love, and a chat was a day.
Through contact with Sima Hui, Pang Tong began to have a little reputation, especially Sima Hui praised him as "unparalleled among the scholars of Nanzhou", which made Pang Tong famous.
Later, Pang Tong was conscripted into the title of "Gong Cao", an official position in the Han Dynasty. Mainly responsible for local organization and personnel, and other related government affairs, and Pang Tong chose to judge the work of celebrities at that time, for those who came to visit, he could say good as much as possible not to say bad, which was somewhat different from the "poisonous tongue" Pang Tong in the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", at that time, some people also asked him why he saw everyone and said good, Pang Tong explained: "The current situation is turbulent, many people are discouraged, I do this to encourage them to actively do things, can carry forward their own advantages. It can be seen that Pang Tong's idea of joining the army is still very strong.
Later, Pang Tong defected to Liu Bei as in the novel, and at first Liu Bei did not know how many pounds and two pounds Pang Tong really was, so he only gave him a Leiyang County Order, or a trial, but Pang Tong did nothing every day, did not pay attention to government affairs, just ate and did not work, and was naturally deposed.
At this time, Lu Su wrote a letter to Liu Bei, saying that Pang Tong was not a "talent of a hundred miles", which meant that Pang Tong's strength was not only a small county order, it was really oversized, zhuge Liang also had great respect for Pang Tong, so Liu Bei called Pang Tong over to chat, and it turned out that Pang Tong's talent and learning were indeed not ordinary, and he talked about it one by one, anyway, liu Bei was frightened, so he immediately gave him an official position in Zhizhong, and then he was named a military commander and a general, and he sat on an equal footing with Zhuge Liang.
So how did Pang Tong die in the end? It turned out that when Pang Tong was 36 years old, he attacked Luo County for Liu Bei, and he was a pioneer and had always stood in the front in charge of command, but unfortunately he was shot by a local arrow and died.
Yes, it is so ordinary, there is no legend at all, after all, novels and TV series are the image after artistic processing, the ancient "Book of Poetry" has the saying of "Xingguan Group Grievances", of which "Xing" means that through the processing of artistic images, people can help people to be surging and play an inspirational role, there is no doubt that "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" has achieved this purpose, otherwise this novel will not become one of the four famous works of the mainland.
