Pang Wei squeezed and counted. Was his death accidental or intentional?

Pang Tong (179 -2 14) was born in Xiangyang, Jingzhou (now Xiangyang, Hubei) in the Han Dynasty. During the Three Kingdoms period, Liu Bei's important counselor became a corps commander together with Zhuge Liang. When Liu Bei entered Sichuan and broke with Liu Zhang, he put forward three strategies, and Liu Bei used three of them. When Pang Tong entered Luowei County, he led a group of people to attack the city, but unfortunately, he died halfway. At that time, he was only thirty-six years old, and he was named Hou Jing. Later, the place where Pang Tong was buried was named Luofengpo.

But what is the truth? Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong are both top counselors in Luo Guanzhong's novel The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and they are also called Yi Long Yifeng. Si Mahui, a great hermit, once praised: "Wolong and Feng Chu, one of them, can secure the world." So what's the difference between their talents and ambitions? Liu Bei used to be a twin. Why doesn't he settle down?

Pang Tong was completely loyal to Liu Bei from the beginning. He went to stay, in order to compete with Zhuge Liang and Xu Shu, seize Chibi and save Liu. So as soon as Battle of Red Cliffs was over, Pang Tong went directly to vote for Liu Bei. In order not to embarrass Liu Bei, he would rather start from the bottom than show letters of recommendation from Lu Su and Kong Ming. Sure enough, Liu Bei was conquered in Leiyang, and Kong Ming had to admit that Pang Tong was ten times taller than himself.

It can also be seen from this incident that if Pang Tong really wants to join someone's team, he can always find a way. If you don't even have the ability to enter the door, dare you be called "Feng Chu"? I thought even Cao Cao's water village could come and go at will. He collided with Sun Quan during an "interview" in Wu Dong, just to escape so as not to offend people.

Zhuge Liang can help Liu Bei win Jingzhou, but he can't do anything in the face of surprisingly strong people and dangerous places. He didn't know how to persuade Liu Bei to usurp Liu Zhang, nor did he dare to fight another Battle of Red Cliffs for surprisingly. So he took the opportunity of mourning for Zhou Yu to go to Soochow and invited Pang Tong who was better than himself. After that, one of them guarded Jingzhou, the other attacked Xichuan, and at the same time became Liu Bei's right-hand man.

Sometimes Pang Tong is indeed more talented than Kongming. He realized that Liu Bei had to pretend to be benevolent when he took Jingzhou, because he wanted to win the favor of Liu Zhang in the future, but when he came to Liu Zhang, he could completely "force the palace". In theory, he only used the word "disobedience" to easily convince Liu Bei; In martial arts, he only used Huang Zhong and Wei Yan, two "post-generals" that Kong Ming didn't want, and achieved a breakthrough in surprise.

Unexpectedly, however, when everything had to be settled, things took a turn for the better, and Kong Ming sent a death threat letter to Pang Tong.

Zhuge Liang sent a letter from Ma Liang saying, "This bright night is wonderful. This year, the stars are in the west and Taibai is in Yucheng. " There is a lot of bad luck in general. Be careful. Pang Tong scoffed at Zhuge Liang's "goodwill" and further put forward a third explanation: "Unification has gone too far. It is known that the stars are in the west, so we should get along with the west and not do evil. Unity also illustrates astronomy. Seeing that it is too white in Luocheng, it is an ominous sign to cut the bud first. Your master has no doubt, but he can rush into the army. "

The discord between Longfeng and Liu Bei made him suspicious. On the one hand, he cherishes Pang Tong, an adviser with superior ability, and on the other hand, he believes in the unpredictable Zhuge Liang very much. In order to be sure, Liu Bei decided to retreat to Jingzhou.

The next day, he used his dream to persuade Pang Tong, saying, "I dreamed of a man of God at night who hit my right arm with an iron bar in his hand, and when he came, he felt his arm hurt. This trip is not good? " Pang Tong, who has always been brave and unbelieving, can't stand such words and deeds of being swayed by considerations of gain and loss and being weak. He replied: "It is natural for a strong man to shrink from cold feet and not die or hurt. Why do you doubt dreams? " He added, "Your master has been puzzled by Kong Ming. He didn't want reunification to be a great success, so he pretended to doubt his master's heart. Doubt leads to dreams. What are the disadvantages? Only the combination of liver and brain can be called a real heart. Master, don't say anything more. Come early. "

How well you speak. You are brave, loyal and materialistic, not as knowledgeable as a greedy villain. However, at the same time of Pang Tong's declamatory remarks, his loyalty plummeted and he no longer wanted to work for Liu Bei. Liu Bei is a fool of benevolence and faithfulness now, and there is nothing to recommend. There are three reasons why he chose to fall: First, because Pang Tong was loyal and never intended to usurp the world, he wanted to give way to Kong Ming. Supposedly, Pang Tong could choose to retire to save his life at this time, but he didn't. This is also the biggest difference between him and Liu Bei.

Second, in order not to affect Zhuge Liang, he pushed his own death to Liu Bei.

Thirdly, he chose to die in Phoenix Slope, which in turn comforted Liu Bei, who was doomed to die. You don't have to blame yourself too much. Actually, a super counselor like Pang Tong, who can command hordes, can't let him go if he doesn't want to commit suicide, even a counselor taller than him is difficult. Even if he can't win, he can protect himself, not to mention his opponent is Zhang Ren, an unknown Sichuan general.
