During the Three Kingdoms period, Sima Hui, the water mirror master, once recommended Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong to Liu Bei, and once said a sentence: "Wolong and Pang Tong can get one of them, they can get the world." At that time, many people in the world recognized Mr. Shuijing's words, and the so-called "Wolong" referred to Zhuge Liang, who was later invited out of the mountain by Liu Beisan Gu Maolu and achieved the hegemony of Liu Bei Shu Han; However, for the Phoenix Chicks with the same name as Wolong, Liu Bei did not reuse them at first, which indirectly led to Pang Tong being shot by Zhang Ren and killed in Luo Fengpo. Before dying, Pang Tong shouted 4 words, and Liu Bei couldn't help but feel remorseful after learning about it, so what was going on?
It turned out that after the Battle of Chibi, Pang Tong at this time defected to Liu Bei, but because Pang Tong's appearance was very ugly, although there was Zhuge Liang's recommendation at that time, Liu Bei did not take Pang Tong too seriously, so he let Pang Tong take the official position of Lingyang County. Pang Tong, who had hoped to be reused by Liu Bei, was arranged to this small place, and naturally his heart was very depressed, so he drank and had fun every day, and did not pay attention to government affairs, and it was not long before he was deposed by Liu Bei.
As a result, Zhuge Liang and Lu Su both felt sorry for Liu Bei when they heard about this incident, and persuaded Liu Bei: "How can such a powerful person as Pang Tong be willing to govern the land of a hundred miles?" After some in-depth discussion, Liu Bei felt that Pang Tong was still very talented, so he made him a military commander, second only to Zhuge Liang. Sure enough, when entering Sichuan, Pang Tong put forward many constructive suggestions, which were adopted by Liu Bei, so that Liu Bei's grand plan to enter Sichuan could be smoothly implemented.
At this time, Liu Bei was preparing to attack Liu Zhang, who had divided shu territory, and in order to realize his ambitions, Pang Tong proposed three strategies to Liu Bei: the best strategy was to take advantage of Liu Zhang's lack of preparation and lead his army to directly attack Chengdu; The middle strategy was to let Liu Bei pretend to return to Jingzhou and secretly kill Liu Zhang's subordinates Yang Huai, Gao Pei and others on the road, but this would definitely strike grass and snakes; The next strategy was to directly lead the army back to Jingzhou and abandon the attack on Liu Zhang. After much deliberation, Liu Bei decided to adopt the second strategy, which led to Liu Zhang's side being prepared for Liu Bei's army.
In 214 AD, Liu Bei asked Pang Tong to lead an army into Shu, and before leaving, Liu Bei gave Pang Tong the Lu ma, and as a result, Pang Tong asked him when he passed by Luofengpo: "What is the name of this place?" Left and right replied, "This is the fall of Fengpo." So Pang Tong shouted 4 words: "Heaven is going to kill me!" Soon Pang Tong was shot dead by Zhang Ren's random arrow, which had already been ambushed. After Liu Bei learned of this news, he could not help but feel remorseful, if he had listened to Pang Tong's "superior strategy" and directly attacked Chengdu, Pang Tong would not have died at Luofengpo.
