Liu Bei likes to make friends with Haojie, so many Haojie are attached to Liu Bei, such as Zhao Yun, Guan Yu, Zhuge Liang, these familiar figures. It is precisely because of this that some people who are too capable have failed to highlight their abilities and thus fail to let people see his talents, and Pang Tong is one of them. Everyone's impression of Pang Tong is not good, but in fact, he is a very talented person, for example, a sentence said by Pang Tong before his death implied that Liu Bei could no longer revitalize the Han Room, everyone was puzzled, but Zhuge Liang understood.
Born in Hebei in 179, Pang Tong was honest and kind, and if you only look at his appearance, you can't see his talent, and it is true. When Pang Tong was 20 years old, he met Sima Hui, and the two talked, as if they met a confidant from day to night, Sima Hui knew that Pang Tong had a great talent, and even said that no one in Nanzhou could compare with Pang Tong, and Pang Tong's reputation was slowly spread.
When Xiangyang Pang Degong called Pang Tong "Phoenix Chick", Zhuge Liang was Wolong, and Xu Shu also told Liu Bei that Wolong Fengchi could be safe in the world. However, when we watch TV or novels, Pang Tong's talent and opportunity are far inferior to Zhuge Liang's, and it can be seen from the two people coming to Liu Bei's side that Zhuge Liang was invited out by The Three Gu Maolu, pang Tong could not find a job at that time, and then defected to Liu Bei, but Liu Bei felt that he was ugly and did not give him a heavy responsibility, only let him be a county order.
Pang Tong felt that Liu Bei did not attach importance to himself, and his heart was very depressed, so he ignored the county affairs when he was the county order, and was later dismissed. After Lu Su knew this, he quickly wrote a letter to Liu Bei, telling him that Pang Tong was not a talent of a hundred miles, Liu Bei only then paid attention to it, and summoned Pang Tong to meet with him, after this exchange he knew that Pang Tong was indeed not what he saw on the surface, so he reused him and appointed him as Zhizhong, and later became his right hand and left arm with Zhuge Liang.
However, Pang Tong only gave Liu Bei one plan, and in 212, Liu Bei had been stationed in YemengGuan for a year, and while Liu Bei was distressed, Pang Tong presented Liu Bei with three plans. The upper plan is to directly sneak attack Chengdu, can be decided in one fell swoop, the middle plan is to pretend to lead them over to trap them, and finally in the attack into Chengdu, the next plan is not suitable to stay here for a long time, under Liu Bei's balance of pros and cons, he chose the middle plan, thinking that this is the most secure.
However, this plan also cost him his own life, and he was finally shot by a random arrow and died, Liu Bei was sad and wept bitterly for him, in recognition of his merits, Liu Bei rewarded his father with rewards and posthumously named him the Marquis of Guannei. Some people wonder why Pang Tong can get liu bei so much attention, his time at Liu Bei's side is not as long as Zhuge Liang's, and when he is around Liu Bei, he only offers him a plan.
Liu Bei regretted his talent, Pang Tong had a great talent, and his talent was not lost to Zhuge Liang, as can be seen from his words before his death, he said: "Today I die, but it is the destiny of heaven." This sentence implies that the Han Room has long since declined, and if Liu Bei insists on reviving the Han Room, it is against the heavens, so Liu Bei can no longer revive the Han Room, everyone is puzzled, but Zhuge Liang understands. From this point, it can be seen that Pang Tong's talent is comparable to Zhuge Liang's, and later proved Pang Tong's correctness.
