The Heroes of the Three Kingdoms Era have emerged one after another, deducing a wonderful history, and Pang Tong, who is known as the Phoenix Chick, was born in the Three Kingdoms Era, but it is a complete tragedy. Why is Pang Tong a typical example of tragedy? If you want to know, let Xiaobian reveal the secret for you:

After Liu Bei was in the Prancing Horse Tanxi, he happened to meet a high-ranking person in the world, this person was Sima Hui, "Mr. Water Mirror". When Sima Hui talked to Liu Bei, he once told Liu Bei that "the Wolong Phoenix can be safe in the world as soon as it is born." "Wolong" refers to Zhuge Liang, and "Phoenix" refers to Pang Tong.
When it comes to wisdom, Zhuge Liang is known as the "First Counselor of the Three Kingdoms", and only Pang Tongren can compete with him. Pang Tong appeared in a lewd image, but he made a surprising move, saying that Cao Cao had connected the warships with iron locks, creating vital conditions for Sun Liu's coalition forces to burn Chibi. It is no exaggeration to say that without the "serial plan" offered by Pang Tong, Sun Quan and Liu Bei would have been captured alive by Cao Caosheng, and it would not have been possible to have a three-legged situation later.
Although Pang Tong made an extraordinary move, his appearance is still a great tragedy. Pang Tongzhi's wisdom is slightly inferior to Zhuge Liang's, but compared with Zhuge Liang, who is "eight feet long and has a very great posture", he is somewhat out of reach. In the book, Pang Tong's appearance is written as "thick eyebrows and nose, black face and short hair, and strange face", which is simply ugly to the sky.
Pang Tong once went to Jiangdong to defect to Sun Quan, and under the strong recommendation of Lu Su, he thought that he could mix with an official and a half-position, but Sun Quan was a face value control, and he hated his ugly appearance and failed to reuse it. Although Lu Su repeatedly advised and told about Pang Tong's talent, Sun Quan was still stubborn, causing Pang Tong to eat a closed door and touch a nose of ash on the way to job hunting.
At this time, some readers will ask, why didn't Pang Tong go to Cao Cao? In fact, the reason is also very simple, because with Pang Tong's personality, he could not defect to Cao Cao. Pang Tong is called "Phoenix Chick", in fact, there is a big reason, "Phoenix" is the honor of a hundred birds, it has a maverick "strange temper".
Gu Shuyun: "(The phoenix) flies in the North Sea, not only the sycamore, not practicing and not eating, not drinking from the liquan spring." His personalities of "arrogant and arrogant" and "pretentious and high-minded" are very similar to Pang Tong.
Cao Cao's "name is Han Xiang, actually a Han thief", is considered by the world to be the representative of the adulterous male, in addition, Cao Cao is also greedy for power and money, likes to spoil concubines, digs tombs to replenish military funds, which is despised by the Qing gao people at that time, so Pang Tong simply looks down on Cao Cao, thinking that defecting to Cao Ying is simply a pearl of secret investment, but also a defilement of his own life's clean name. Since neither Cao Cao nor Sun Quan could defect, in the chaotic world, if he wanted to make a splash, he could only choose Liu Bei, who was known as "Rende". Pang Tong thought that meeting the Ming Lord was a great blessing in life, but sad things followed.
Compared with Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, in addition to his inferior appearance, his emotional intelligence is also much lower than zhuge Liang. From the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", we can also see that Pang Tong has always focused only on results in his work, such as persuading Liu Bei to enter the river to quickly attack Liu Zhang, and setting up a "Hongmen Banquet" at the banquet without Liu Bei's permission to kill Liu Zhang, both of which show that Pang Tong's behavior is contrary to Liu Bei's "benevolent" style. Zhuge Liang, on the other hand, is different, Zhuge Liangfan is a strategist and attaches great importance to Liu Bei's taste. When crossing the river with the people, Zhuge Liang knew that the people were dragging down the army, but he still did not dissuade him and gave the established policy according to Liu Bei's wishes. Comparing the two, it is obvious that Zhuge Liang's emotional intelligence is superior, which is also the direct reason why Liu Bei likes Zhuge Liang and hates Pang Tong.
Before conquest of Liu Zhang, Pang Tong and Liu Bei divided their troops, and Liu Bei, out of "concern", gave up his Lu horse to Pang Tong to ride, and as a result, Pang Tong died tragically before falling on Fengpo. Xu Shu once said that Lu Ma had a curse that hindered the Lord, and if this curse was broken, he must first kill one person, and Pang Tong, who was a phoenix chick, became a tragic victim of this curse. Some people even speculate that the reason why Liu Bei gave the Luma to Mr. Fengyan was that he had already made up his mind to abandon Pang Tong. The source of Pang Tong's tragedy comes from the lack of his own character, as a proud "phoenix", he did not find a plane tree for shelter, but died tragically in the chaotic world full of thorns because he had nowhere to stay. Pang Tong has his own principles and bottom line, but he is not tolerated by the chaotic world, his purity and talent, did not achieve his own reputation, and finally was eliminated by the chaotic world because of his high and widowed.
