When Liu Bei praised Pang Tong and admired him, Zhang Cun, who had originally held different opinions from Pang Tong, said, “Although Tong was devoted to the utmost and is a great pity, he violated the righteous principle of the realm.”2 Liu Bei became angry, saying that Pang Tong had achieved the sacrifice of his life for virtue, and dismissed Zhang Cun from office.
