Romance of the Three Kingdoms, a treasure of Chinese literature, depicts the picture scroll of heroes in troubled times. In this grand chapter of history, Sun Quan, Liu Bei, and Cao Cao are like bright lights, and their unique personalities and ambitions are fascinating.
The deep friendship between Liu, Guan and Zhang is like a warm light, illuminating the cruel road to hegemony. In the smoke of the Three Kingdoms, strategy is the password to victory, and the resourcefulness and strategy of Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu dominated the turning point of the war.
In that era of war, strategy was not only a means of survival, but also the key to victory. Don't forget, there is also a hidden think-tank Pang Shiyuan in Liu Bei's camp, and his wisdom also shines in the long river of history. "
Liu Bei regarded Pang Shiyuan as the minister of the humerus, and his prestige was second only to Zhuge Kongming, and he was as famous as the military advisor. However, Pang Shiyuan, who is depicted in **, is jealous of Zhuge Liang's status and has a grudge.
His arrogance led him to refuse to accept Zhuge Liang's advice, and he eventually suffered misfortune in Luofengpo. But the truth of history is not as heroic as **, Pang Shiyuan did not die from a volley of ten thousand arrows, only one arrow took his life.
On the nineteen-year beacon front of Jian'an, Liu Bei decisively dispatched his fierce generals like clouds, including the mighty Zhang Fei and the heroic Guan Yu, to jointly launch a fierce offensive against the city.
However, this fortified city was like an incomparably hard bone, which deeply troubled Liu Bei's heart and became a lingering burden in his heart. In the face of this challenge, Liu Bei fell into deep thought and urgently needed a prescription to break the situation.
At this time, his think tank Pang Shiyuan appeared in his sight like a sharp key. Pang Shiyuan is not only resourceful, but also has practical leadership, which can be called a handsome talent in both civil and military affairs.
Therefore, Liu Bei decisively entrusted him with a heavy task, appointed Pang Shiyuan as the vanguard, personally commanded, and vowed to conquer this city of knots. As Liu Bei's indispensable assistant, Pang Shiyuan did not hesitate to take over the mission, stepped out of the horse, and led the soldiers on the journey.
The next day, Pang Tong Pang Shiyuan marched forward bravely, challenging the strong defense line of Yucheng as Liu Bei had foreseen. However, in his eagerness to make a contribution, he personally charged, but unfortunately was pierced by a flying arrow, and his ambition fell from his horse without being rewarded.
Although Pang Tong fell at the age of 36 in history, in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Luo Guanzhong strengthened his heroism and tragedy through artistic processing, depicting an arrow as overwhelming, turning passive warfare into active invitation, and making Luofengpo a stage for him to yearn for honor.
However, this famous place of death is not a historical fact, but a fictional place written by Luo Guanzhong. Luofengpo, a place that carries the legends of countless people, whether its existence originates from reality or the illusion of literature, is thought-provoking.
Luofengpo, bearing the imprint of history, according to historical records, Liu Bei after careful consideration, chose here to bury his think tank Pang Tong, to"Phoenix chicks"The name gives the land a special meaning.
This not only reflects Liu Bei's benevolence, but also reveals a true leader who knows how to appreciate and cherish talents. So, why did the author set Pang Shiyuan's tragedy in Luofengpo?
The answer may lie in his unique personality. Pang Shiyuan is talented, but his simple appearance has made his talent overlooked, as if the inconspicuous people in the mortal world are not easily perceived by their potential.
At a certain turning point in his life, Pang Shiyuan met Sima Hui, the catalyst of fate. When Sima Hui first saw Pang Shiyuan, his mood did not fluctuate significantly, and he was still focused on himself.
The two were under the tree, Sima Hui chatted with Pang Shiyuan who was picking mulberry, which seemed ordinary, but in fact, during the conversation, Sima Hui had insight into Pang Shiyuan's hidden extraordinary potential. With the in-depth conversation, Sima Hui firmly believed that Pang Shiyuan would be able to soar for nine days and become a blockbuster.
With Sima Hui's recognition and encouragement, Pang Shiyuan began to confidently display his intelligence. Soon after, Zhang Feihui saw pearls and introduced him to become a key strategist and general in Liu Bei's camp, which opened his glorious chapter.
Despite his exploits, Pang Shiyuan's unique personality exemplifies principles. When his strategy was not fully adopted, ordinary courtiers might choose to compromise, but Pang Shiyuan insisted on himself, remembering Liu Bei's decision.
He once offered three strategies to attack the city, but unfortunately only one of them was adopted by Liu Bei, the siege was imminent, and Liu Bei was full of spring breeze at the celebration banquet. Faced with the smugness of the lord, Liu Bei asked if he was pleased, but Pang Tong responded calmly: "Enjoying the victory of the enemy's city is not the attitude that a benevolent and virtuous king should have." ”
Liu Bei, who was originally calm, was touched by alcohol and Pang Tong's remarks, his emotions exploded instantly, and he retorted sharply: "Isn't the banquet after King Wu's defeat a legitimate act to celebrate victory?" ”
In the face of Pang Tong's calmness, his actions seemed too radical and decisively drove Pang Tong away. But after calming down, Liu Bei understood that he was making a big fuss, and the emotion of remorse lingered in his heart.
Liu Bei skillfully invited Pang Tong to return, and in the face of his displeasure, Pang Tong silently enjoyed the food and avoided Liu Bei's gaze. Liu Bei lost no time in asking: "What was the fault just now?"
Pang Tong responded lightly: "There are negligence." This delicate situation between the monarch and the minister revealed the sensitivity and irritability in Pang Tong's character, and Liu Bei chose to tolerate his maverick.
Imagine, in the plot of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", if such a character trajectory develops, Pang Tong ignores Zhuge Liang's advice and insists on going to Luofengpo to compete for merit, such a scene is almost inevitable.
Readers who have experienced the charm of ** understand that the author deliberately strengthened his extraordinary ability through the image of Zhuge Liang, half of which is an in-depth analysis of Pang Tong's personality traits, and half of it highlights Zhuge Liang's foresight of the future.
Therefore, it seems reasonable to make Pang Tong's fate turn in Luofengpo. From this point of view, Mr. Luo Guanzhong is quite faithful and artistically processed in shaping historical figures.
* Inevitably with a dramatic rendering, it is not a mechanical reproduction of history, but a vivid portrayal of the characters, so that their images are full and three-dimensional. In this way, the author's approach is undoubtedly ingenious and appropriate.
