Why did Pang Tong die in the novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms?

Along with Mr Wolong, Feng Chu and Pang Tong are Mr Zhuge Liang. Pang Tong Luofengpo is a very famous bridge in Romance of the Three Kingdoms. This story tells the story of Mr. Pang Tong who was shot to death by disorderly arrows on Phoenix Slope. The story is interlocking, full of twists and turns, and colorful, but wonderful is wonderful. Studying the history books carefully, we found that we were all cheated by Luo Guanzhong.

Pang Tong didn't die in Phoenix Slope, nor was he ambushed. Pang Tong's falling phoenix slope was simply invented by Luo Guanzhong. Even if you carefully stroke the timeline, it is clear that the year of Pang Tong's death in Romance of the Three Kingdoms is wrong.

We prefer reading interesting novels such as Romance of the Three Kingdoms to historical books such as The History of the Three Kingdoms. But it is precisely because of the emphasis on novels that we can hardly think that the bridge remembered by people is unreal.

Pang Tong died in Luo County, and Liu Bei was very sad. He personally chose a treasure trove of geomantic omen for his burial, and built an ancestral temple around the grave. People named this place Luofengpo because they admired Pang Tong's talent. So this is where Pang Tong was buried, not where he died. As for Luo Guanzhong's writing a book, it was hundreds of years later, and times have changed. In addition, Feng Chu's death in Fenghuangpo is more dramatic, fatalistic and ornamental.

In The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Pang Tong died in the sixteenth year of Jian 'an, which is 2 1 1. According to historical records, Pang Tong was in Jian 'an for nineteen years. The difference between the two is two years. Besides Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong is the best person around Liu Bei. After Luo Guanzhong revised the timeline in this way, he cut Pang Tong's scenes, so Zhuge Liang's role increased. In this way, Liu Bei's entry into Sichuan became Zhuge Liang's credit. After all, you know, Mr. Feng Chu passed away a long time ago.
