Kongming entry Bio
Appears in 4 chapters:
-
Chapter 62
— The Taking Of River Fu Pass, Yang Huai and Gao Pei Perish; The Siege Of Luocheng, Huang Zhong and Wei Yan Rival.
The chapter-end mystery guest: a huge short-haired stranger in poor clothes who walks into Pang Tong's lodging, eats ravenously, sleeps on the couch, and answers nothing — until Fa Zheng recognizes his old friend Peng Yang. Why he came is the next chapter's business.
-
Chapter 63
— Zhuge Liang Mourns For Pang Tong; Zhang Fei Releases Yan Yan.
Fa Zheng names him — Peng Yang of Guanghan, head shaved and fettered by Liu Zhang for blunt speech — and he delivers what he came for: the warning that the River Fu camps can be flooded ('if the river be diverted... not a soul can escape'). Liu Bei appoints him adviser and the vigilance he prompts catches Ling Bao in the act.
-
Chapter 65
— Ma Chao Battles At Jiameng Pass; Liu Bei Takes Over Yizhou.
Peng Yang; in Liu Bei's circle.
-
Chapter 79
— Brother Oppressing Brother: Cao Zhi Composes Poems; Nephew Harming Uncle: Liu Feng Receives Punishment.
Writes the warning letter that dooms him — caught, stung by Ma Chao's feigned sympathy into raving against 'the obstinate old leather-belly' and sketching open treason, he repents too late in prison and is allowed to die by his own hand.
