Pang Tong 's talent is comparable to Zhuge Liang . The two of them are called Fengchu and Wolong by the world. "Wolong and Fengchu, if you get one, you will be safe." Liu Bei Luckily, both got it.
Unfortunately, Pang Tong led his troops into Luocheng and was shot to death by random arrows at Luofengpo. ."
Pang Tong's magic trick, how could he fall into an ambush in an advance that was not too difficult? Didn't he send the vanguard to open the way? Don't send scout horses to explore the way in advance? As an outstanding strategist who is as famous as Zhuge Liang, he must be well acquainted with tactics, astronomy, geography, and marching rules. He should not make such a low-level mistake.
So, Pang Tong's death is very strange, what puzzles are behind it? Let's chat today.
Yizhou Shepherd Liu Zhang Cowardly by nature, Hanzhong warlord Zhang Lu Although he was a Taoist priest, his ambition is not small, and he has coveted Yizhou for a long time.
Yizhou is now Sichuan, also known as "Chuanshu", " Shuzhong ". The climate here is pleasant, the land is fertile and the rain is abundant, and it has been a land of wealth since ancient times.
The more crucial advantage is that Chuan and Shu are surrounded by mountains, like a natural barrier. "Shu Road is difficult, but it is difficult to ascend to the blue sky", this place is easy to defend and difficult to attack, which is very conducive to long-term and stable development.
So even if Liu Zhang is weak and slow,It does not affect his steady rule of Yizhou. Later, Liu Bei occupied Sichuan and Shu and established the kingdom of Shu, and later Liu Chan came to the throne. Although he was "happy about Shu", he was basically blind to governing the country, but he easily maintained the kingdom of Shu for more than 40 years by relying on good terrain. Of course, this is also inseparable from Zhuge Liang's hard work for Shu who "did his best and died", but if he hadn't made five consecutive northern expeditions Cao Wei and exhausted his national strength, Shu Kingdom could have persevered for many years.
It was said that Zhang Lu was going to attack Liu Zhang, and Liu Zhang was in a hurry. He once killed Zhang Lu's mother and younger brother. Once the enemy came in, it was terrible. How could this be good? Later he took the advice of counselor Zhang Song and wrote to Liu Bei, asking him to enter Sichuan to help resist Zhang Lu. Liu Bei was eager to enter Sichuan and could not find a reason, so he left Zhuge Liang to guard Jingzhou , and led 30,000 troops himself, with Pang Tong as his military advisor, and entered the land of Shu in a mighty manner.
Liu Bei's army garrisoned Jiameng Pass , fought a few battles with Zhang Lu's army and beat Zhang Lu back. Since then, Sichuan and Shu have been safe and sound.
One day, Liu Bei received a letter from Kong Ming, saying that Mrs. Sun ( Sun Shangxiang) had returned to Soochow , Cao Cao led an army of 400,000 to be with battle, the outcome is unpredictable.
Liu Bei was shocked, thinking that if Sun Quan couldn't stand it, Cao Cao's army would sweep Eastern Wu and attack Jingzhou. Liu Bei hurriedly discussed countermeasures with Pang Tong.
Pang Tong is a very yin person. Not long ago, Liu Zhang lined up a banquet to entertain Liu Bei. At the banquet, Pang Tong repeatedly asked Liu Bei to kill Liu Zhang. It was a replica, but Liu Bei couldn't do it, Pang Tong was disappointed and shook his head.
Now Liu Bei proposes to go back to Jingzhou. Isn't this a trip to Chuanshu in vain? No hair was caught. Pang Tong rolled his eyes and came up with a plan, telling Liu Bei that Jingzhou is guarded by Kongming and is as stable as Mount Tai, so don't worry. You wrote to Liu Zhang, saying that Cao Cao was going to attack Jingzhou, and I had to go back and set up defenses. Please lend me 30,000 troops and 100,000 grains of food. I need it urgently! Make no mistake!
Liu Zhang received a letter and was planning to send troops and horses to Liu Bei. His subordinates, Yang Huai, Liu Ba, Huang Quan, and others tried to persuade him, saying that he could not give soldiers or food, Liu Bei was a hero, To support him is to raise a tiger.
Liu Zhang thought about it, and then gave Liu Bei 4,000 and 10,000 rice to the old and weak soldiers, which was a big discount.
Liu Bei was furious, and Pang Tong was incensed again. He immediately decided to attack Liu Zhang with the whole army, first to capture Luocheng, and then to break through Chengdu. Now Liu Bei and Liu Zhang are on the same page.
However, at this time, various signs showed that Liu Bei was unfavorable, and this was also the most strange place, listed as follows:
First, during the march, the "handsome flag" was blown to the ground, Liu Bei was very suspicious, and he felt very suspicious. Uneasy and wanted to return, Pang Tong repeatedly persuaded him to give up his intention to retreat.
Second, I received an urgent letter from Kong Ming, saying that he was watching the stars at night, the Gangxing was in the west, and Taibai was in Luocheng. But Pang Tong read the letter and thought that Kong Ming was afraid that he would assist Liu Bei to take Sichuan and Shu and get the first attack.So sending this letter hindered the march. Therefore, Pang Tong asked Liu Bei to step up his march without hesitation.
But to be honest, only he himself knew what Pang Tong was thinking, and no one else could guess.
Three, at this time, a very mysterious person came to Liu Bei's army. His name was Peng Yongyan. This madman surnamed Peng ate and slept heavily in Liubei Village. After eating and sleeping, he actually said exactly the same words as Kong Ming: "Gangxing is in the west, Taibai is in Luocheng, the head coach is more fierce than good, and you must act with caution. ." Liu Bei was going crazy and stopped the army. Pang Tong was in a hurry, and after another hard-hearted encouragement, Liu Bei raised his troops and continued to advance.
In front of a mountain not far from Luocheng, there are two roads, a big road, open and bright, leading to the east gate of Luocheng; a small road, a deep forest canyon, leading to the west gate of Luocheng. Liu Bei sent Pang Tong to lead the army on the main road, and he led his troops on the small road to attack the west gate.
Pang Tong disagrees, and Liu Bei is also anxious, saying that he had a dream last night, dreaming that a goddess hit his left arm with an iron rod, and it was very painful. So, Sergeant, you lead your troops on the road, I will take the small road, because I am used to fighting in the mountains and forests, and I am not afraid of ambush.
Pang Tong quit, saying that the Luocheng Shu army knew that we were coming to attack, and they would deploy heavy troops to intercept them on the main road, so lord, you take the main force to the road and fight them hard, I will take the small road and attack the west gate, this is a sure-fire strategy . Just do it, the military situation cannot be delayed!
Why did they all take the path? Just because the road was dangerous, Liu Bei and Pang Tong wanted to take the difficulties to themselves.
Fourth, the most incredible thing is that at that time, there lived a Taoist priest named " Master Zixu " on the extreme cliff of Jinping Mountain near Luocheng. Luocheng defender general lingbao and other four went up the mountain to ask Master Zixu for advice in order to seek fortune.Master Zixu couldn't stand their repeated requests, so he wrote eight sentences to send each other. The text said:
Left dragon and right phoenix, flew into Xichuan.
The young phoenix falls to the ground, and the crouching dragon rises to the sky.
One gain and one loss, of course the number of days.
Do it by chance, don't lose Jiuquan.
These words obviously predicted the fate of Pang Tong and Kong Ming, and they were very accurate.
On the mountain trail leading to Luocheng, and walking to Luofengpo, Pang Tong was ambushed by the Shu army and was shot dead by random arrows.
The problem is, Pang Tong should have known in advance that there was an ambush in the path, why did he drill into it?
Kong Ming will see the stars, and Pang Tong will also see. The astrology shows that the "coach" is more fortunate and less fortunate, and the coach is more in line with Liu Bei's identity. Does Pang Tong have the possibility of "blocking bullets" for Liu Bei?
