In the 19th year of Jian 'an (2 14), Liu Bei sent Zhuge Liang, Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun to conquer Bai Di, Jiangzhou and Jiangyang. Soon, Liu Bei surrounded Los Angeles (now Deyang Guanghan area). Pang Tong led a siege and was shot dead by an arrow. He is 36 years old.
Liu Bei deeply regretted it and wept when he talked about Pang Tong. In recognition of his achievements, his father was appointed Ichiro, and later he was promoted to Dr. Suggestion. Liu Bei made Pang Tong Shanhaiguan Hou and posthumous title Jing Hou.
Pang Tong was buried in Luofengpo after his death, and the cemetery only had simple maintenance. It is said that this is the cemetery chosen by Liu Bei for relatives, but it is a treasure trove of geomantic omen and has tombstones.

Pang Tong, a native of Jingzhou at the end of Han Dynasty, was named Feng Chu, just like Zhuge Liang in Nanyang Wolong. When Liu Bei was in Jingzhou,
He was appointed as the magistrate of Leiyang County, and was dismissed for neglecting government affairs. Lu Su told Liu Beixin that he was "not only a talented person", but also was appointed as a counselor and military commander together with Zhuge Liang. Later, I went to Shu with Liu Bei and suggested that he enter Chengdu. Pang Tong is gifted, and he is an indispensable talent to realize the strategy of grassroots cottage. His surrender provided a further leap for Liu Bei Group.
The book explains that Zhuge Liang wrote to Liu Bei, saying: I watch the celestial phenomena at night, and it is too white near Los Angeles, so the general will be in danger. I hope that Liu Bei and Pang Tong will stop attacking, but Pang Tong thinks that Zhuge Liang is afraid of his great achievements, so he won't let them go forward, so he tries his best to persuade Liu Bei to attack.
Liu Bei gave in to Pang Tong's persuasion and reluctantly agreed. In the course of the attack, an episode happened, saying that Pang Tong's horse was frightened. When Liu Bei saw it, he gave his white horse to Pang Tong. Pang Tong was so moved that he said he would repay Liu Bei to the death.
It was this time that Pang Tong lost his life. It seems that Pang Tong's death was an act of god. Zhuge Liang first observed the night sky, and then Pang Tong surprised the horse. Pang Tong got on Liu Bei's horse and lay in ambush in the phoenix slope. Pang Tong died of disorderly arrows. The novel is beautifully described, but it is not the case in history.
According to the Records of the Three Kingdoms, Pang Tong was thirty-six when he entered Luowei County. He led a siege and was captured by Liu Ya.
