"Hey! I'm so smart, and ended up making General Wei laugh!"
"Pang Tong Pang Shiyuan of Xiangyang, pay homage to General Wei!"
Pang Tong's expression became serious, his previous laxity was gone, and he bowed his hands to Liu Zhang with great respect.
"Shi Yuan, please get up!"
Liu Zhang quickly stepped forward and helped Pang Tong up personally.
"I once heard Sima Hui say that if both Wolong and Fengchu can live together, the world will be at peace! I've already seen Wolong, but I didn't expect to be in Chengdu today and see Fengchu with my own eyes. I'm so happy!"
Pang Tong's face was full of guilt. This time he was really embarrassed.
"I'm so rude before I leave. Please forgive me, General Wei!"
Pang Tong's sudden change of attitude really made Liu Zhang feel a little awkward. He felt that the previous Pang Tong made him more comfortable.
"Shiyuan has a free and easy temperament. What's wrong with him? In fact, Shiyuan doesn't have to be like this at all. He just needs to keep his true heart."
Pang Tong, a rather controversial person. There are really different opinions on what his abilities are.
Of course, it all stems from Sima Hui's words: "One of the two, the sleeping dragon and the phoenix, can bring peace to the world. If you get both, the Han Dynasty can prosper!" '.
It was also because of this sentence that pushed Pang Tong to the forefront.
Needless to say, Zhuge Liang's ability as a statesman, military strategist, inventor, and writer was so strong and wide-ranging that it is rare in ancient and modern times!
Although they ultimately failed to conquer the Central Plains and complete the great cause of reviving the Han Dynasty, with such a weak force in one state and a population of one million, they resisted Cao Wei for several years, and Cao Wei could only retreat.
Looking at ancient times and modern times, there are only a few people who have such ability.
Zhuge Liang was listed as one of the Ten Philosophers of the Martial Arts Temple, which means that for thousands of years before the Tang Dynasty, Zhuge Liang was one of the ten strongest people in history!
Zhuge Liang's strength is also Pang Tong's tragedy.
The ranking of Crouching Dragon and Phoenix chicks is in no particular order.
Sima Hui's meaning is very clear. Both Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong have talents in the world, the ability to turn things around, the ambition of heaven and earth, and the unpredictable opportunities of gods and ghosts!
As long as you get help from anyone, you can stabilize the world. If we get help from two people at the same time, the Han Dynasty will definitely be able to revive!
Zhuge Liang proved Sima Hui's words. He single-handedly allowed Liu Bei, who was almost destroyed, to occupy Jingzhou, and he was even more capable of encroaching on Yizhou.
Later, Guan Yu was overthrown, Liu Bei was defeated in Yiling, and Zhuge Liang single-handedly reversed the almost unchangeable crisis.
Although he failed to revive the Han Dynasty, Zhuge Liang did deserve the reputation of "the one who can settle the world".
Pang Tong is more miserable. He and Zhuge Liang have the same reputation and evaluation, but they receive completely different treatment.
Initially, he defected to Zhou Yu who captured Nanjun. After Zhou Yu's death, Pang Tong personally carried his coffin to Jiangdong, and gained the respect of many Jiangdong talents.
As Liu Bei borrowed Nanjun from Sun Quan, Pang Tong, for some unknown reason, did not stay in Soochow to serve, but returned to Jingzhou.
After Liu Bei took over Jingzhou as a pastoralist, Pang Tong was appointed by Liu Bei as a county magistrate in Leiyang County.
Forget about the county magistrate, this county magistrate also has a pronoun.
In other words, if you, Pang Tong, do well, you can continue to do it. If you don't do well, get out immediately.
Facts also proved that Liu Bei did think so. Pang Tong ignored government affairs and immediately dismissed Pang Tong, and Pang Tong immediately got out!
It is said that Liu Bei has a good understanding of people. At the beginning, he paid three visits to the thatched cottage and invited Zhuge Liang to come out. Later, Zhuge Liang proved that he was worthy of Liu Bei's three visits.
But even though Liu Bei clearly knew the names of Wolong and Fengchu, and had a deep understanding of Wolong and Zhuge Liang's abilities, he still let Pang Tong waste his time in Leiyang. Isn't this questionable?
Did Liu Bei get the position of Jingzhou Mu?
Or do you think you have enough talents at your disposal?
Or does Liu Bei think that Pang Tong's words are of no use?
Even so, Liu Bei should have an in-depth conversation with Pang Tong because of his reputation.
If it is really just a false name, it will not be too late to decentralize it.
Facts have proved that Liu Bei may have really drifted away. He was unable to find the north when he occupied Jingzhou. He had forgotten how he asked Zhuge Liang to assist him in the first place!
After Pang Tong was deposed, he immediately returned home, but he did not take the initiative to find Liu Bei.
So how did Pang Tong finally return to Liu Bei's command and be reused?
It was Lu Su, who was the governor of Soochow at the time, who personally wrote a letter to Liu Bei and highly praised and praised Pang Tong's talents.
Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei's military advisor, repeatedly mentioned to Liu Bei that he must have begged hard before Liu Bei finally agreed to meet Pang Tong!
Fortunately, Liu Bei did not deal with it casually this time, but had a thorough conversation with Pang Tong.
I don’t know if I don’t talk about it, but I’ll be shocked if I talk about it!
According to historical records, Liu Bei changed his previous attitude and regarded Pang Tong very highly. Not only was he appointed as the official in charge of governance, he was also appointed as the military advisor to Zhuge Liang and was as close as Zhuge Liang!
Liu Bei is such a thief. If the opponent is really capable, he will put down his body and go to the thatched cottage three times to ask for help from the thirty-year-old Zhuge Liang.
When dealing with incompetent people, such as Ma Shi and Ma Su of the Jingzhou family, they leave harsh words that are not useful and are exaggerated.
After just one conversation, Liu Bei couldn't wait to make up for the situation and promoted Pang Tong to the same status as Zhuge Liang. Isn't this enough to illustrate Pang Tong's ability?
Not long after, Zhang Song and Fazheng betrayed the lord of Yizhou, who was Liu Zhang in history, and prepared to welcome Liu Bei into Yizhou.
Liu Bei was hesitant and undecided whether to seek Yizhou. In the end, Pang Tongxiao persuaded Liu Bei with his righteousness.
Then Liu Bei's army entered Yizhou, and he only brought one counselor with him, Pang Tong.
If Pang Tong's ability is not enough to deal with such a complicated situation in Yizhou, I believe Liu Bei would never dare to joke with his own life!
Liu Bei's vision was very correct. At the critical moment of the Jingzhou Army, Pang Tong immediately offered three strategies: upper, middle and lower, each of which could ensure Liu Bei's safety!
Facts have proved that Pang Tong's strategy is very effective. Liu Bei planned to kill Yang Huai and Gao Pei, annex the soldiers of Baishui Pass and then march into Chengdu. He was unstoppable along the way!
Just when Zhuge Liang, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and others conquered Jiangzhou and all armies were preparing to encircle Chengdu, an accident happened.
As a military advisor, Pang Tong personally led his army to attack Luocheng, but was unexpectedly shot and killed by a stray arrow!
When Pang Tong died, he was only thirty-six years old, the same age as Zhou Yu.
This news also made Liu Bei devastated. Every time he mentioned Pang Tong in the future, he could not help but shed tears.
Perhaps the four-hundred-year-old Han Dynasty is really about to perish, and even God doesn’t want to revive the Han Dynasty!
Pang Tong's death in battle may be the beginning of the true end of the Han Dynasty.
