Pang Tong died at Luofengpo and Zhuge Liang died at Wuzhangyuan. Was it fate?
The phoenix chick folded its wings and fell down the slope of the phoenix, and Wolong died of illness in Wuzhangyuan. Life and death are determined by destiny. How can wealth and honor be just a thought? Pang Tong, whose courtesy name was Shiyuan and whose nickname was "Fengchu". Zhuge Liang, also known as Kongming, also known as "Wolong". It turned out that people during the Three Kingdoms period did not have so-called "Hao", and the "Hao" of Pang Tong and Zhuge Liang both came from one person, this person was Pang Degong.
The biggest reason why Pang Degong called Pang Tong "Feng Chu", Zhuge Liang "Wolong", and Sima Hui "Shui Jing" is because they are not ordinary talents, but have extraordinary talents. For people with special talents, Fengchu refers to the newborn phoenix, and Crouching dragon refers to the hidden real dragon. Pang Degong also has a saying that is widely circulated: A crouching dragon and a phoenix chick can settle the world! But Liu Bei got Wolong and Fengchu, but still didn't get the world. Why? It's not that Wolong and Fengxiao are not good, but that Liu Bei got them too late, and Liu Bei has some deficiencies in decision-making.
The deaths of Wolong and Fengchu were not fate, but were caused by human actions. There were various practical reasons, and their deaths were somewhat related to Liu Bei's decision-making. In fact, Pang Tong did not die in Luofengpo, but was buried in Luofengpo. Pang Tong died in the siege of Luocheng. Luocheng is near today's Guanghan City, Sichuan, and Luofengpo is located in Luojiang District, Deyang City, Sichuan Province. Baimaguan Town. Pang Tong led his army to attack the city and was hit by a flying arrow and died. After Pang Tong died, Liu Bei was very sad. He personally selected a geomantic treasure land as a cemetery for Pang Tong, buried Pang Tong here, and named the place where Pang Tong was buried Luofengpo, which is today Baimaguan, Luojiang District, Deyang City, Sichuan Province. town.
Why did Pang Tong die? Because Liu Bei did not choose Pang Tong's strategy. After Liu Bei entered Yizhou, Pang Tong proposed a plan for Liu Bei to meet with Liu Zhang and took the opportunity to capture Liu Zhang so that Yizhou could surrender without a fight. However, Liu Bei rejected Pang Tong's suggestion on the grounds that he had just arrived in Yizhou and had not yet established the prestige of Enyi. Not only that, after Liu Bei broke with Liu Zhang, Pang Tong once again offered the middle and lower strategies. Liu Bei only chose the middle strategy, broke with Liu Zhang and attacked Chengdu step by step, and did not choose the upper strategy of sending elite troops to sneak attack Chengdu. It led to Pang Tong's death in battle. Pang Tong's death had nothing to do with fate, it was purely man-made.
If Liu Bei had chosen Pang Tong’s strategy, Yizhou would have been captured long ago. How could there have been the subsequent siege of Luocheng? Without the siege of Luocheng, how would Pang Tong have died? Let's talk about Wolong Zhuge Liang. Zhuge Liang's death was completely different from Pang Tong's. Zhuge Liang died of exhaustion. When the Shu Han lost Jingzhou at Guan Yu and Liu Bei defeated Yiling, the good situation was completely returned to its original shape. The Shu Han fell into the lowest period since the founding of the country. Moreover, even Liu Bei himself walked away, leaving behind a country in danger and a successor who knew nothing.
Zhuge Liang was ordered to turn the tide in the midst of crisis, allied with Sun Quan in the east, pacified Nanzhong, rectified internal affairs, and began the Northern Expedition. After five Northern Expeditions, he finally collapsed from exhaustion in the army of the Northern Expedition and died of illness in Wuzhangyuan. Zhuge Liang was really exhausted. What did Liu Bei leave behind? There was nothing. The 50,000 Jingzhou army and the three counties of Jingzhou were lost, and another 50,000 elite field troops were lost in the battle of Yiling. The troops Zhuge Liang brought for the Northern Expedition were all saved bit by bit by himself, and the generals also challenged them one by one. There were no generals who could take on important responsibilities, so Zhuge Liang had to suffer alone.
A fence has three stakes, and a hero has three gangs. To achieve great things, talents are always needed. If Jingzhou had not been lost and Yiling had not been defeated, then the Shu Han people would still have some wealth, but how could there be so many ifs? Zhuge Liang's death in Wuzhangyuan was never a fate, but rather a matter of human effort. It was the ultimate expression of Zhuge Liang's dedication and dedication to death.
