In the history of the Three Kingdoms, Mr. Shui Jing once said a sentence. "If you have Wolong, one of the phoenix chicks, you can stabilize the world!"

"Wolong", everyone knows. It refers to Zhuge Liang. So who is the "phoenix chick"?

The answer is Pang Tong.

Pang Tong's ability can be said to be on a par with Zhuge Liang's ability. It's just that I haven't had a good next home, and I fancy Pang Tong's ability.

At this time, Pang Tong can be said to have no way to serve the country.

Later, after Zhou Yu's death, Pang Tong came to Soochow to mourn Zhou Yu.

That's where the story comes in.

Since Zhuge Liang mourned the death of Zhou Yu. Zhuge Liang was just about to leave Soochow. , was grabbed by someone by the river, laughed and said: "You are angry with Zhou Yu, but now you are here to mourn, and there is no one in Dongwu!" Zhuge Liang saw that it was a phoenix and a young man. The two boarded the ship hand in hand and told their hearts. When parting, Zhuge Liang also handed Pang Tongyi a letter of recommendation and asked him to go to Liu Bei.

Lu Su once recommended Pang Tong to Sun Quan. But because Sun Quan saw that Pang Tong looked strange and had an arrogant tone, he didn't take Zhou Yu in his eyes. So he was very angry and vowed never to use him again. Lu Su had no choice but to write a letter of recommendation to Pang Tong and ask him to find another place.

The above is what happened before Pang Tong defected to Liu Bei recorded in "Romance".

And the official history has such a record.

According to the record of "Three Kingdoms, Shu Shu, Pang Tong Biography".

After Zhou Yu's death, Pang Tong sent the funeral to Wu State. Many people in the state of Wu had heard of his fame. (In fact, this reputation refers to Pang Tong's "phoenix chick" name) when Pang Tong returned to Jingzhou in the west. (In fact, Pang Tong is from Jingzhou). Wu Dishi people gather in Changmen. Lu Ji, Gu Xun, and Quan Cong all went.

Pang Tong said: "Although Mr. Lu is like a bad horse, he is fast, and Mr. Gu is weak but can carry weight far." Then he said to Quan Cong: "You like to give alms, and you love fame, which is similar to Fan Zizhao in Runan." Although he lacks intelligence, he is also a master of the moment. Lu Ji, Gu Xun said to Pang Tong: "If it is a peaceful world now, you should really evaluate the people of the world with you." As a result, they formed a deep friendship with Pang Tong.

Later, Pang Tong returned to Jingzhou.

The above is what happened before Pang Tong defected to Liu Bei recorded in the official history.

Pang Tong is a kind-hearted person and likes to make friends. This is Pang Tong's personal preference.

Pang Tong made friends with scholars in Eastern Wu in order to expand his circle of friends.

After Pang Tong returned to Jingzhou, he began to consider the question of which lord to defect to.

At that time, Liu Bei, who occupied Jingzhou and served as the pastor of Jingzhou. It may be the best choice for Pang Tong. Because "Romance" said that Soochow didn't want him anymore. So he couldn't think about Soochow anymore.

And Pang Tong also has a letter of recommendation from Zhuge Liang in his hand. Why don't you say he defected to Liu Bei?

So how did Pang Tong know Zhuge Liang? Why did Zhuge Liang give Pang Tong a letter of recommendation?

In fact, Pang Tong knew Zhuge Liang because of a person, and this person was Mr. Shui Jing.

When Pang Tong was twenty years old, he went to visit Mr. Shuijing, Sima Hui. After meeting Sima Hui, I talked with him extensively. The two men talked from day to night. Sima Hui also admired this Pang Tong very much. and called Pang Tong an outstanding figure among the scholars of Nanjun. As a result, Pang Tong's reputation was gradually revealed.

Later, the county appointed him as a meritorious causant.

What kind of official position is Gong Cao?

Gong Cao was an official position set up in the Western Han Dynasty. He is the main adjutant of the county and the prefectural order. The supervisor inspects and records the performance. It was more popular during the Eastern Han Dynasty. Each state has an official position of meritorious cao.

Such a petty officer. Pang Tong is also conscientious.

Pang Tong also has a hobby. It's a favorite character. Promote and cherish the strengths of others.

When Pang Tong commented on a character, he often exaggerated his human ability.

Therefore, the author believes that Pang Tong has also commented on Zhuge Liang, Xu Shu and others before.

Among them, in addition to the above-mentioned Pang Tong's comment on Zhuge Liang's mourning of Zhou Yu. was once commented on by Xu Shu.

In "Romance", during the Battle of Chibi. When Pang Tong presented a series of schemes to Cao Cao. As soon as Pang Tong was about to leave, Xu Shu came over to expose the scheme.

Xu Shu had no good impression of Cao Cao. Only then did Pang Tong "smile and leave".

It can be seen from this that whether it is Pang Tong, Zhuge Liang, or Mr. Shui Jing, or Xu Shu. The relationship between them is very close.

Well, let's not talk about that.

Pang Tong has since returned to Jingzhou from Soochow. began to think about working for Liu Bei.

Pang Tong then went to Jingzhou to see Liu Bei.

Liu Bei had heard of Pang Tong's name for a long time.

This time, Pang Tong came to defect to Liu Bei. I also thought about it for a long time.

When Pang Tong saw Liu Bei for the first time, he didn't bow down, but simply made a compilation.

Because the history books describe Pang Tong's ugly appearance. So Liu Bei couldn't look down on him at first sight.

And Pang Tong said here, "I heard that Uncle Huang is recruiting talents, so I came to join you." Such a sentence. This phrase could not be more common. However, it was revealed that Pang Tong's sense of trust in Liu Bei was still quite strong.

But, then again. Liu Bei just let him be a petty official first.

At this time, Zhuge Liang went out to inspect everywhere and did not return.

Liu Bei only asked Pang Tong to be a county magistrate in Leiyang County. After Pang Tong took office, he drank alcohol all day long and ignored political affairs.

A few months later, Zhang Fei came to Leiyang County to inspect, and when he saw Pang Tong untidy and drunk, he criticized him for ignoring the county government. At this time, Pang Tong worked on the spot, and it took half a day to complete all the 100-day work. Zhang Feilian shouted: "Mr. is a genius, we are disrespectful." Pang Tong then took out Lu Su's recommendation.

Zhang Fei returned to Jingzhou, told Liu Bei about Pang Tong, and took out the recommendation letter. After Liu Bei read the recommendation, he regretted it and said, "It's really a sin for me to treat Daxian!" At this time, Zhuge Liang also came back, and Liu Bei asked Zhuge Liang's opinion. Zhuge Liang said: "He is Mr. Feng Xiao, and the lord should be reused." ”

So, Liu Bei hurriedly asked Zhang Fei to invite Pang Tong back to Jingzhou and go down to the next level to ask for guilt. Pang Tong then took out Zhuge Liang's recommendation. Liu Beixi said: "Mr. Shuijing said, Wolong, Phoenix Chick, two people can get one, and they can settle the world." Now that I've got two of them, it seems that the Han family is prosperous. Then he worshiped Pang Tong as the deputy commander of the lieutenant general.

The above is the "Romance" version of Pang Tong reporting to Liu Bei.

There are also some records in the official history, and the historical materials of Pang Tong reporting to Liu Bei.

Next, the author will add.

Liu Bei occupied Jingzhou and led Jingzhou Mu, and Pang Tong tried to defend the Leiyang County Order as an engaged person, and ignored county affairs during his tenure and was dismissed. Eastern Wu Lusu wrote a letter to Liu Bei, telling Liu Bei that Pang Tong was not a talent for a hundred miles. Zhuge Liang also told Liu Bei about Pang Tong. So, Liu Bei summoned Pang Tong, after some exchanges, Liu Bei attached great importance to Pang Tong and appointed him as the ruler of the government, the degree of intimacy was inferior to Zhuge Liang, and later Pang Tong and Zhuge Liang were both military divisions and generals.

It can be seen from the official history that one thing that is different from "Romance" is that Pang Tong was not first excavated by Zhang Fei. It was Lu Su, the then governor of Eastern Wu. Lu Su wrote to Liu Bei recommending Pang Tong. Because when Pang Tong met Sun Quan in Eastern Wu before. Already ate the closed door. That's why Lu Su introduced the ugly-looking fat head (but talented) to Liu Bei. Later, Zhuge Liang went out and came back. only to admit that Pang Tong is a "genius of the world".

Later, Liu Bei worshiped Pang Tong as the deputy military division lieutenant general. It is as famous as Zhuge Liang.

When Pang Tong came, it was when Liu Bei wanted to lead his troops to take Xichuan. Therefore, with the joining of Pang Tong, Liu Bei Group has become more and more confident, because they have Jingzhou, a treasure of feng shui, as their base. And Liu Bei has so many good cards under his hands. What kind of cards are played depends on Liu Bei's ability to dispatch troops.

Liu Bei collected the Wolong and the phoenix chicks. After coming down, he began to attack the hinterland of Xichuan. Towards Liu Zhang's power. Because the small Jingzhou is not Liu Bei's food, Liu Bei wants to find a bigger food. to complete their own hegemony. This is the decision of a generation of heroes.

To the west of Jingzhou there is also Liu Zhang's Yizhou. Liu Bei gradually put Yizhou on his offensive agenda. At this time, Liu Bei's desire to attack Yizhou was getting bigger and bigger. Among them, Pang Tong, who had just come to report, played a huge role.

Later, Pang Tong and Liu Bei entered Sichuan together. A number of contributions have been made. But he died too early.

And at this moment, Cao Cao's side was not peaceful. And to the west of Cao Cao's hinterland. There is also a Ma Teng force in Xiliang and a force in Han Sui. is threatening Cao Cao.

After the defeat of the Red Cliff War, how did Cao Cao go there to pacify?

After the Battle of Chibi, Cao Cao's ambitions were not over.
