Wen / Cloth said so
Peng Xian (彭羕), a native of Guanghan County, Yizhou, although this duke was a wizard in the world, his emotional intelligence was not high, and he offended the lord several times, and finally caused the disaster of killing himself. Peng Xi was eight feet tall, Ji Yuxuan, and looked like a talent, but unfortunately, he had an arrogant personality, his eyes were empty, and it was difficult to get along with people, so his life was more difficult, and no one appreciated his talent.
Peng Mi had a fellow countryman and friend, this person's name was Qin Mi, Qin Mi was full of eloquence, and knew that although his friend Peng Xi was stubborn, he was a genius in the world, so Qin Mi wrote to Xu Jing, the Taishou of Shu County, and strongly recommended Peng Xi to him, and compared Peng Mi to the sages Fu Shuo, Jiang Shang, and Li Zhiqi.
Peng Xi
After Peng Xi, with the unremitting efforts of his friend Qin Mi, Peng Xi finally became a shuzuo in his hometown of Yizhou. But Shu Zuo was only a zo official, and his position was too small to allow Peng Xi to show his skills. Peng Xi has an eccentric personality, has a bad relationship with his neighbors, has no cover for his mouth, and has been caught by others. So the group of colleagues slandered Peng Xi on the side of Liu Zhang, who was dazed, listened to the rumors and sentenced Peng Xi to the punishment of "tongs".
Peng Xi, who was sentenced to the death of a pincer, had his hair shaved, his neck bound by iron hoops, and he was reduced to a slave. The humiliated Peng Xi was unwilling, hearing that Liu Bei had lost peace with Liu Zhang, and at this time had already sent troops to Yizhou, Peng Xi wanted to defect to Liu Bei, so he went down the river and found Liu Bei's military division, Feng Chi Pang Tong.
Ponton
Pang Tong and Peng Xi were not old friends, when Peng Xi met Pang Tong, Pang Tong was meeting guests, Peng Xian unexpectedly went straight to Pang Tong's bed and lay down, and very rudely said that he asked to talk to Pang Tong. If it was changed to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, the rude Peng Xi was already in a different place at this time, but Peng Xi's move impressed Pang Tong.
After a deep chat with Peng Xi, Pang Tong found that Peng Xi was a genius in the world, so he stayed in Peng Xi for the night many times. And Liu Bei's favorite Fa Zheng was also well aware of Peng Xi's talent, so the two recommended Peng Xi to Liu Bei. Peng Xi also lived up to expectations, and his work and actions made Liu Bei very satisfied, and Liu Bei, who was the same at first sight, also relied more and more on Peng Xi.
After Liu Zhang's surrender at Kaicheng, Liu Bei, who was also the pastor of Yizhou, promoted Peng Xi to serve as a ruler, which was second only to Other Drivers, and Peng Xi became the third in charge of Yizhou at this time, and the proud and complacent Peng Xi was even more arrogant and arrogant, and there was no one in sight, which caused dissatisfaction among Liu Bei's old department.
Zhuge Liang
Zhuge Liang was superficially very enthusiastic about Peng Xi, but in fact he was vigilant against him and advised Liu Bei, believing that Peng Xi was very talented and that it was inevitable that he would do rebellious things in the future. Liu Bei observed Peng Xi many times and found that this person was as Zhuge Liang said, it was difficult to achieve great things, so he gradually alienated Peng Xi and transferred him to Jiangyang County as a taishou.
Ma Chao
The out-of-favor Peng Xi was disgusted with Liu Bei, but he had no real power and could not retaliate against Liu Bei, so he found Ma Chao, who had recently surrendered to Liu Bei. Ma Chao lifted up Peng Xi and said that his talent was comparable to Zhuge Liang and Fa Zheng, and it was a pity that he was appointed to a small county. Peng Xian, who was touted forgetting about it, actually believed it to be true, and made a shallow and deep friendship with Ma Chao, not only scolding Liu Bei for being a veteran, but also conspiring with Ma Chao to rebel against Liu Bei.
Liu Bei
At this time, Ma Mengqi was not the "Jin Ma Chao" who was full of spirit, and the family was destroyed many times, which made Ma Chao under the fence very painful. Ma Chao's surrender to Liu Bei had just stabilized, and at this time, when he heard Peng Xi's rebellious words, he could not help but be surprised. But Ma Chao was silent, let Peng Xi talk about it, and afterwards Ma Chao reported the matter to Liu Bei verbatim.
Peng Xi, who was denounced by Ma Chao, was soon arrested and imprisoned, at which point Peng Xian suddenly woke up and wrote a letter to Zhuge Liang, and Pang Tong and Fa Zheng, who appreciated Peng Xian, had already died one after another at this time. Peng Xi was conceited and mean, his popularity was not good, and he offended the lord many times, and after being imprisoned, no one interceded, and he was soon executed at the age of thirty-seven.
