Pang Tong, as one of the top strategists of the Three Kingdoms, is really famous, but unfortunately he died young, even 2 years earlier than Guo Jia, only 36 years old, he ended his trip to the Three Kingdoms, in the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" Pang Tong had three omens before his death, if he could pay attention to any of them, he would not die in Fengpo.
"Wolong Phoenix Chicks can be safe in the world", Pang Tong, who is equally famous with Zhuge Liang, is highly expected by people, and there are two main highlights of Pang Tong's highlight moment in the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", one is Pang Tong's clever granting of serial plans, and the other is Pang Shiyuan's proposal to take Western Shu, both of which are plots with significance in changing the direction of the Three Kingdoms.
Pang Tongqiao's serial plan occurred in the Battle of Chibi between Cao Cao and Sun Liu's combined forces, when Lu Su recommended Pang Tong to Zhou Yu, Zhou Yu did not blindly appoint, but first let Lu Su ask Pang Tong how to break Cao, Pang Tong directly pointed out that "if you want to break Cao's soldiers, you must attack with fire", and came up with a chain of iron ropes, Zhou Yu was deeply impressed by his plan, it just so happened that Jiang Gan visited Wu, and Pang Tong cooperated with Zhou Yu to complete his chain plan, laying the foundation for victory for the future burning of Chibi.
However, Pang Tong's appearance is really ordinary, although there is no special description of his appearance in the main history, but we can probably see that he looks like a humble man, and in the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Luo Guanzhong directly describes him as "thick eyebrows and nose, black face and short hair, described as strange", which is much bigger than Zhuge Liang, Zhuge Liang is "eight feet long, face like crown jade, wearing a scarf, wearing a crane, fluttering with a godly outline." ”
As a result, Sun Quan is a appearance association, originally all of his subordinates are Zhou Yu's kind of personable talents, which Pang unified to really reduce the value of the team, so it is not reused. The good old man Lu Su recommended him to Uncle Liu Huang.
This scholar was a little arrogant, Pang Tong was no exception, when he first came to Liu Bei, he did not take out the recommendation letter written by Lu Su, so he only got a county order from Leiyang County, but compared to Sun Quan, Liu Bei already attached great importance to him.
To say that Pang Tong is talented, people who do not know him will always use his short life to refute, but from his short experience as a county commander in Leiyang County, we can see how smart he is, he drank and entertained all day when he was a county order, and did not pay attention to political affairs, in fact, he did this deliberately, one is to attract Liu Bei's attention, and the other is to show that he is smarter than others.
Sure enough, this matter reached Liu Bei's ears, and Liu Bei was furious and sent Zhang Fei to inspect it, and at this time, Pang Tong, even in the hangover, could still solve all the cases accumulated in three or four months in half a day, and it was "straight and straight, and there was no mistake." The people bowed their heads and bowed their heads. "So Pang Tong is the strongest brain in the right way."
When Liu Bei realized that Pang Tong had great talent, he attached great importance to it, and when he entered shu to fight, he also brought Pang Tong with him, and Pang Tong also suggested that he take Xichuan by himself, which coincided with Zhuge Liang's Longzhong pair, which showed that the hero saw something the same, but unfortunately, at the beginning Liu Bei began with "Liu Jiyu and I are the same sect, and I can't bear to take it." For this reason, it was not adopted, which also laid the groundwork for Pang Tong's future death to Fengpo.
It is said that Pang Tong had three omens before he died in Fengpo, and if he could pay attention to any of them, he could escape the heavens, so let's take a look at what these three omens are.
First, Kong Ming's stargazing calculation
Regarding the death of Pang Tong, Kong Ming has already deduced it, and the original text of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms writes that the bright night is counted as Taiyi number, and this year's age is in the West; Looking at the dry elephant again, Taibai was in the division of Luocheng, and the main general was more fierce and less auspicious. Caution should be exercised.
Zhuge Liang calculated that attacking Luocheng was not conducive to the military division, so he specially revised a letter to inform Liu Bei, but Pang Tong thought that Zhuge Liang was afraid of his meritorious service and deliberately stopped his leading troops, and even told Liu Bei, "The lord was confused by Kong Ming. "It really means that the dog bites Lu Dongbin."
Second, Liu Bei's god-man dream
Before Zhuge Liang's letter was delivered, Liu Bei had a strange dream, and in the original text of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, it was written that Xuan De said: "Military masters are not allowed. I dreamed of a god at night, and I struck my right arm with an iron rod in my hand, and I felt that my arm hurt. This trip is not good. ”
At this time, Liu Bei's left and right arms, Wu was Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and Wen was Kong Ming and Pang Tong, and with Kong Ming's calculations, this omen pointed to Pang Tong, but Liu Bei repeatedly persuaded each other, but Pang Tong insisted on not listening because of the struggle for merit.
Third, the strange behavior of the mount
Although Pang Tong's horse is not a famous horse, but it has been with Pang Tong for a long time, it also has some spirituality, when Pang Tong insisted on going to Luofengpo, he actually threw it off the horse, the original text of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms wrote that Xuan De agreed with Pang Tong again, suddenly sat down on the horse's eye before he lost his life, and threw Pang Tong down. Xuande jumped off his horse and came to cage the horse. Xuan De said, "Why did the military master ride on such an inferior horse?" Pang Tong said: "This horse has been riding for a long time, and it has never been like this." ”
It can be seen that this horse also had a premonition that Luo Fengpo was very dangerous and did not want to go forward, but Pang Tong did not know it, plus Liu Bei's lu gift to Pang Tong, but also stamped a seal on his death, the more Lu Obstructor said earlier, the fate is not hard at all can not ride it, so Lu's Pang Tong who rode like this came to Luo Fengpo and was shot by ten thousand arrows.
In fact, in addition to these three omens, the Purple Void Master had earlier approved eight mantras: "Left Dragon Right Phoenix, fly into Xichuan." The young phoenix fell to the ground, and the crouching dragon ascended to heaven. One gain and one loss, of course, the number of days. Do not lose the Nine Springs when you see the opportunity. "But Pang Tong didn't know about it, so he couldn't change Pang Tong's fate."
Summary: There are three causes of pang Tong's death, the first is to die in the belly of a gentleman with a small heart, doubting Kong Ming's character; the second is to die of little experience, as a strategist, obviously never led the army to fight, but to force the battle, the strategist should have the appearance of a strategist, do you think you are a melee mage? The third died of hard ears, all said to listen to people to persuade to eat enough, Liu Bei with many years of experience in the army, three times to persuade him, did not persuade.
In fact, the death of Pang Tong also left a good warning effect for our descendants, don't fight for yourself to be a little clever, just this is not convinced, that is not angry, as if everything is very simple, to know that "there is a sequence of hearing the Tao, and there is a specialty in the art industry", let us ask if we can be smarter than Pang Tong no matter how smart we are? Therefore, we must think twice when doing things, and do not act recklessly.
