Pang Tong came to Jingzhou to meet Liu Bei. Seeing that Pang Tong was ugly and unhappy, Liu Bei asked Pang Tong, "Is it far from easy?" Pang Tong replied: "Listen to your uncle's recruiting talents, and I'll hit it off." Liu Bei said: "Jingzhou is a bit fixed and has no idle errands. One hundred and thirty miles northeast, there is a county called Leiyang County, which lacks a county magistrate. Please go there to serve.
If there is a vacancy in the future, you must reuse it. "Pang Tong in Leiyang county, ignore business, drinking all day. Someone told Liu Bei that Liu Bei sent Zhang Fei and Sun Gan to inspect. When Zhang Feihe arrived in Leiyang County, the soldiers and civilians greeted Guo, but did not see the county magistrate. Colleagues said: "Mr. Pang has been drinking every day for more than 100 days, and now he is just drunk and hasn't got up yet." "
Zhang Fei was furious and called Pang Tong out. He was disheveled and helped out drunk. Zhang Fei asked angrily, "Brother made you a county magistrate. How dare you waste all your county affairs! " Pang Tong said with a smile, "It's hard to make a decision in a small county of one hundred li. General, sit down and wait for me. " Immediately, he went to court and cut off all the official duties accumulated for more than 100 days.
In less than half a day, he finished more than a hundred days' work, threw a pen on the ground and said to Zhang Fei, "Where is the waste?" Zhang Fei was frightened and left the meeting to thank him, saying, "Although you are talented, your son is disrespectful. I should strongly recommend it to my brother. "
Kong Ming explained Pang Tong's talents to Liu Bei, and Liu Bei said happily, "People say that Long Fu and Xiao Feng won the first prize and can protect the world. Now I have both talents and prosperity in the Han Dynasty! " So Liu Bei worshipped Pang Tong as the deputy military commander, and praised the general plan and taught the sergeant together with Kong Ming.
