Chapter 057-03 와룡과 봉추

  魯肅設宴款待孔明。宴罷,孔明辭回。方欲下船,只見江邊一人道袍竹冠,皂縧素履,一手揪住孔明大笑曰:「汝氣死周郎,卻又來弔孝,明欺東吳無人耶?」孔明急視其人,乃鳳雛先生龐統也。孔明亦大笑。兩人攜手登舟,各訴心事。孔明乃留書一封與統,囑曰:「吾料孫仲謀必不能重用足下。稍有不如意,可來荊州共扶玄德。此人寬仁厚德,必不負公平生之所學。」統允諾而別。孔明自回荊州。

  卻說魯肅送周瑜靈柩至蕪湖,孫權接著,哭祭於前,命厚葬於本鄉。瑜有兩男一女,長男循,次男胤。權皆厚恤之。魯肅曰:「肅碌碌庸才,誤蒙公瑾重薦,其實不稱所職。願舉一人以助主公。此人上通天文,下曉地理;謀略不減於管樂,樞機可並於孫吳。往日周公瑾多用其言,孔明亦深服其智。見在江南,何不重用?

  權聞言大喜,便問此人姓名。肅曰:「此人乃襄陽人。姓龐,名統,字士元,道號鳳雛先生。」權曰:「孤亦聞其名久矣。今既來此,可即請來相見。」於是魯肅邀請龐統入見孫權,施禮畢。權見其人濃眉掀鼻,黑面短髯,形容古怪,心中不喜。乃問曰:「公平生所學,以何為主?」統曰:「不必拘執,隨機應變。」權曰:「公之才學,比公瑾何如?」統笑曰:「某之才學,與公瑾大不相同。」權平生最喜周瑜,見統輕之,心中愈不樂,乃謂統曰:「公且退;待有用公之時,卻來相請。」

  統長歎一聲而出。魯肅曰:「主公何不用龐士元?」權曰:「狂士也,用之何益?」肅曰:「赤壁鏖兵之時,此人曾獻連環策,成第一公。主公想必知之。」權曰:「此時乃曹操自欲釘船,未必此人之功也。吾誓不用之。」魯肅出謂龐統曰:「非肅不薦足下,奈吳侯不肯用公。公且耐心。」統低頭長歎不語。肅曰:「公莫非無意於吳中乎?」統不答。肅曰:「公抱匡濟之才,何往不利?可實對肅言,將欲何往?」統曰:「吾欲投曹操去也。」肅曰:「此明珠暗投矣。可往荊州投劉皇叔,必然重用。」統曰:「統意實欲如此,前言戲耳。」肅曰:「某當作書奉薦。公輔玄德,必令孫劉兩家,無相攻擊,同力破曹。」統曰:「此某平生之素志也。」乃求肅書,逕往荊州來見玄德。



46 Lu Su gave a banquet for Zhuge Liang after which the guest left.

47 Just as Zhuge Liang was embarking, his arm was clutched by a person in Daoist dress who said with a smile, "You exasperated literally to death the man whose body lies up there. To come here as a mourner is an open insult to the South Land. It is as good as to say they have no other left."

48 Zhuge Liang turned to look, and he saw it was no other than Pang Tong, or the Young Phoenix. Then Zhuge Liang laughed in his turn, and they two hand in hand went down into the ship, where they talked heart to heart for a long time.

49 Before leaving, Zhuge Liang gave his friend a letter and said, "I do not think that Sun Quan will use you as you merit. If you find life here distasteful, then you may come to Jingzhou and help to support my master. He is liberal and virtuous and will not disdain what you have spent your life in learning."

50 Then they parted, and Zhuge Liang went alone to Jingzhou.

51 Lu Su had the coffin of Zhou Yu taken to Wuhu, where Sun Quan received it with sacrifices and lamentations. The dead leader was buried in his native place.

52 Zhou Yu's family consisted of two sons and a daughter, the children being named Zhou Xun, Zhou Yin, and Zhou Ying. Sun Quan treated them with generosity and tenderness.

53 Lu Su was not satisfied that he was the fittest successor to his late chief and said, "Zhou Yu was not right in recommending me, for I have not the requisite ability and am unfitted for this post. But I can commend to you a certain able man, conversant with all knowledge, and a most capable strategist, not inferior to the old Guan Zhong or Yue Yi, one whose plans are as good as those of Sun Zi and Wu Qi, the most famous masters of the Art of War. Zhou Yu often took his advice, and Zhuge Liang believes in him. And he is at hand."

54 This was good news for Sun Quan, who asked the man's name, and when he heard it was Pang Tong or Young Phoenix, he replied, "Yes. I know him by reputation. Let him come."

55 Whereupon Pang Tong was invited to the palace and introduced. The formal salutations over, Sun Quan was disappointed with the man's appearance, which was indeed extraordinary. Pang Tong had bushy eyebrows, a turned-up nose, and a stubby beard. So Sun Quan was prejudiced against Pang Tong.

56 "What have you studied," asked Sun Quan, "and what are you master of?"

57 Pang Tong replied, "One must not be narrow and obstinate; one must change with circumstances."

58 "How does your learning compare with that of Zhou Yu?" asked Sun Quan.

59 "My learning is not to be compared with his in the least. Mine is far greater."

60 Now Sun Quan had always loved his late general, and he could not bear to hear him disparaged. This speech of Pang Tong only increased his dislike.

61 So Sun Quan said, "You may retire, Sir. I will send for you when I can employ you."

62 Pang Tong uttered one long sigh and went away.

63 When he had gone, Lu Su said, "My lord, why not employ him?"

64 "What good would result? He is just one of those mad fellows."

65 "He did good service at the Red Cliffs fight, however, for it was he who got Cao Cao to chain his ships together."

66 "It was simply that Cao Cao wished to chain his ships together. No credit was due to this fellow. In any case I give you my word that I will not employ him. That much is certain."

67 Lu Su went out and explained to Pang Tong that the failure was not due to lack of recommendation, but simply a whim of Sun Quan, and he must put up with it. The disappointed suitor hung his head and sighed many times without speaking.

68 "I fear you are doomed to constant disappointment here," said Lu Su. "There is nothing you can hope for, eh?"

69 But still Pang Tong was silent.

70 "With your wonderful gifts, of course you will be successful whithersoever you may go. You may take my word for that. But to whom will you go?"

71 "I think I will join Cao Cao," said Pang Tong suddenly.

72 "That would be hinging a gleaming pearl into darkness. Rather go to Liu Bei, who would appreciate you and employ you fittingly."

73 "The truth is that I have been thinking of this for a long time," said Pang Tong. "I was only joking just now."

74 "I will give you a letter to Liu Bei. And if you go to him, you must try to maintain peace between him and my lord and get them to act together against Cao Cao."

75 "That has been the one desire of my life."

76 Pang Tong took the letter offered by Lu Su and soon made his way to Jingzhou City.
