In ancient times, those who wanted to achieve great things always had great things in their hearts. Leaders, in particular, are more thoughtful when facing things. And when it comes to the war years, there are many heroes.
Whether they are facing enemies, relatives and friends, they can calmly analyze and then make decisions that are most beneficial to the battle situation.
The history of the Three Kingdoms period is mostly recorded in the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". Among the many heroes and heroes, there is a talented man known as the "phoenix chick" - Pang Tong.
His life was full of twists and turns, but he spent most of his time by Liu Bei's side. In the days of working with Liu Bei, Pang Tong saw through his true face and already had his own plans in his heart.
After Pang Tong saw through Liu Bei's true face, he reminded his proud protégé Wei Yan many times, but Wei Yan did not take Pang Tong's words to heart, and finally encountered an accident, which was regrettable.
And when it comes to the heroes of the Three Kingdoms period, no one can forget Liu Bei, one of the leaders. Although Liu Bei was born in a famous family, his road was not smooth. He fought all the way to restore his country and territory, during which he actively recruited wise men and put them to good use.
Among the talents absorbed by Liu Bei, the two most famous are "Wolong" and "Phoenix Chick". It is said that if you get any of them, you will get the world. These two wizards had a very high status at that time, and their strength was coveted by many generals.
Zhiduoxing"Zhuge Liang is known for his talent and outstanding appearance"Wolong", and Pang Tong is known for his resourcefulness and appearance"Phoenix chicks"。
In ancient times, although people's aesthetics were more restrained than they are now, they would still judge a person's abilities based on their appearance. Zhuge Liang's delicate appearance made him very popular at that time.
However, Pang Tong was ignored by many people because of his peculiar appearance and ugly appearance. However, Liu Bei had a unique vision, and after listening to the advice of his subordinates, he insisted that Pang Tong was a trustworthy talent, so he recruited him to his command.
Facts have proved that Liu Bei's judgment was accurate. After a short exchange with Pang Tong, he firmly believed that Pang Tong was a rare talent, who could not only assist him in his career, but also a loyal righteous man.
Pang Tong didn't expect it to be reused at first. When he first took refuge in Liu Bei, his position was only a small county order, and he was even dismissed. However, on Zhang Fei's recommendation, he was able to meet Liu Bei and regained his trust ever since.
In the strategic deployment of seeking Yizhou, Liu Bei fell into hesitation. Thanks to Pang Tong's repeated insistence on making suggestions, Liu Bei set up a "Hongmen Banquet" in Yizhou, marched smoothly, and finally seized this valuable territory.
In the era of war, there is a capable man, like Pang Tong, who must be by the side of a great ruler like Liu Bei. It is really commendable that someone will give advice and help the king to successfully realize his dream of rule.
Under Liu Bei's appreciation, Pang Tong finally had a place to settle down in the life of war and strife, and was reused. This also made Pang Tong decide that for Liu Bei, he had to give all his efforts.
However, if you want to do things by the side of a powerful person like Liu Bei, of course, you must be mentally prepared. Pang Tong knew very well that when giving advice to the monarch, if he accidentally said the wrong thing or did the wrong thing, he might lose his head.
Therefore, no matter who you are, you should be more mindful and cautious. After all, reach out and don't hit the smiling person. In Pang Tong's eyes, although Liu Bei, the monarch, was majestic, he couldn't guess what Liu Bei thought in his heart.
Pang Tong understood that Liu Bei's original intention was to "revive the Han Dynasty", but his hegemonic ambitions were obvious, which made the people around him feel afraid. What really made Pang Tong see Liu Bei clearly was the voice he confided in after a drunken time, and he heard Liu Bei's decision to seize Yizhou, which was to eliminate all irrelevant people, which shocked him deeply.
When Pang Tong heard this, he was surprised and his heart was full of disappointment. He didn't expect that Liu Bei would feel that it was worth celebrating when he faced the people who were about to be displaced and the throne of the king that was about to end.
This made Pang Tong have a new understanding of Liu Bei: it turned out that what Liu Bei had been pursuing was not only recovery, but also hegemony. From that moment on, Pang Tong began to be wary of Liu Bei, and even when Liu Bei celebrated his military exploits and held a feast, he quietly left, as a way to express his dissatisfaction with Liu Bei's way of seizing and to sound the alarm to Liu Bei's followers.
Pang Tong had hinted that his subordinates recognized Liu Bei, but unfortunately some people failed to comprehend. Wei Yan and Pang Tong both belong to the Jing faction, and the relationship between the two has always been very good, and Pang Tong is very concerned about Wei Yan.
Therefore, Pang Tong hoped that Wei Yan would participate in the operation and leave an impression in front of Liu Bei, hoping to be appreciated in the future.
After realizing Liu Bei's true face, Liu Bei had palpitations and wanted to warn Wei Yan but was unwilling to publicize it. However, Wei Yan respected Pang Tong in his heart and thought that he should listen to and follow his words.
Unfortunately, however, Wei Yan did not take Pang Tong's advice on the "basic rules of companionship" to heart. Before Pang Tong died, he had warned Wei Yan many times that he should be very careful in doing things beside Liu Bei, not to take it lightly, and not to cross the line at will, but to act cautiously.
Wei Yan made many military exploits under Liu Bei and was highly used, but he ignored Pang Tong's advice, which led to an unfortunate end. Although Wei Yan had always maintained a sense of awe and did not dare to act rashly when Liu Bei was alive, after Liu Bei's death, he tried to monopolize power.
He fought with the Shu ** team, thinking that he was both wise and brave, but behind his back, he was accused of making a lot of trouble, and finally ended up in such a tragic end.
If Wei Yan could always keep Pang Tong's advice in mind and persevere to the end, perhaps he would not have ended up in such a tragic end. During the Three Kingdoms period, either way"Phoenix chicks"Or other talents, if you want to stand out, you must follow the right leaders, otherwise even if you are superior in ability and no one appreciates you, you will only become an obscure little person.
For a big man like Liu Bei, it is obviously not enough to be satisfied with his little achievements, he is eager to gain more glory and even become a hegemon. And after Pang Tong saw Liu Bei's true face, although he was exhausted, he still tried to remind the people around him.
Wei Yan failed to escape the shadow of Pang Tong's last words, and eventually died, which seemed inevitable.
