Pang Tong's death was a major loss for Liu Bei, and it can even be said that several major events in the future of the Shu Han Dynasty had a great deal to do with Pang Tong's death, the reason is that if Pang Tong did not die, Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei would still enter Sichuan, but the possibility of Zhuge Liang staying in Jingzhou was very large, and it was precisely because of Pang Tong's death that Zhuge Liang entered the sichuan, and Jingzhou only left Guan Yu alone to guard Jingzhou, otherwise there would be Zhuge Liang and Guan Yu yiwen yiwu town to guard Jingzhou, when Jingzhou could be protected.
There has always been almost a consensus on pang tong's death, that is, Pang Tong died at the hands of Zhang Ren, and the reason why this statement is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people is that there is a detailed description of this in the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms": When Liu Bei attacked Xichuan, Pang Tong made a meritorious effort to attack Luocheng, but was ambushed on the path by Zhang Ren's soldiers and horses and shot at Luofengpo, so pang Tong really died at the hands of Zhang Ren? This is not the case in real history, and the person who shot him was actually someone else.
In 211, Liu Bei entered Sichuan at the invitation of Liu Zhang to help Liu Zhang deal with Zhang Lu, and in 212, Zhang Song's secret surrender to Liu Bei was revealed, and the two sides met each other, Liu Bei went all the way south after annexing Liu Zhang's Baishui army, and in 213 Liu Zhang sent Zhang Ren, Liu Xuan, Leng Bao, Deng Xian, and others to lead troops to resist Liu Bei in Fu County, and after being defeated by Liu Bei, they retreated all the way to Mianzhu, Liu Zhang sent Li Yan to defend the mianzhu armies to fight against Liu Bei, who knew that Li Yan led his troops to surrender, and Zhang Ren and Liu Xuan and others retreated south to Luocheng again.
Fuxian County, Mianzhu, and Luocheng were several important cities north of Chengdu, Luocheng was already the last line of defense, and if Luocheng lost Chengdu, there would be no danger to defend, and Liu Bei would soon be under the city, so Liu Zhang sent his eldest son Liu Xun to Luocheng to supervise the battle.
Luocheng offensive and defensive battle was the most arduous battle that Liu Bei fought to capture Xichuan, which took nearly a year for Liu Bei to conquer Luocheng, the reason for this is because Liu Bei encountered two hard stubble, one of which was Zhang Ren, and the other was Liu Xun: Zhang Ren was a famous general in Shu, Liu Xun was bold and brave and good at fighting, and Liu Bei once had a dilemma under the joint efforts of the two.
In 213, Zhang Ren was defeated and captured in an attack, and Liu Bei could only kill him if he could not persuade him to surrender; after Zhang Ren's death, Liu Xun could not hold out, Liu Bei and Pang Tong accelerated the pace of the siege, and in 214 Pang Tong died in a siege under the arrows of the Defenders of Luocheng.
Zhang Ren died in 213 and Pang Tong died in 214, so it was impossible for Pang Tong to die at the hands of Zhang Ren, although he also died under a random arrow, but it was Liu Xun who shot him, not Zhang Ren.
After Zhuge Liang and Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and others rushed to Luocheng, Liu Xun finally could not hold on, Liu Bei attacked Luocheng Liu Xun was defeated and captured, but Liu Bei did not kill Liu Xun to avenge Pang Tong, for two main reasons: First, Liu Xun was Liu Zhang's eldest son, whether to buy people's hearts or to stabilize the situation in Yizhou, Liu Bei was unlikely to kill Liu Xun.
Second, Liu Xun also had another identity, he was the son-in-law of Pang Xi, Pang Xi was one of Liu Yantuo's lonely and important ministers, and was a powerful faction in Yizhou, but later he was jealous of Liu Zhang, and once wanted to rebel against Liu Zhang, so after Liu Bei entered Yizhou, Pang Xi quickly surrendered, and the official was Sima of the Left General's Palace, and Pang Xi ranked third only under Ma Chao and Xu Jing in the "Hanzhong Wang Persuasion Table", which shows that his status in Liu Bei's early years was very high.
The Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms records: "Later Shu Ding, Zhangshi stayed from Pang Xiqi, and the first lord thought that he was a general in the car. Because Liu Xun was Pang Xi's son-in-law, Liu Bei did not kill Liu Xun under Pang Xi's intercession, but it is certain that his life in Shu Han must have been difficult.
