Pang Tong's uncle was also from Xiangyang. He was an acquaintance of Zhuge Liang who showed him great respect always bowing deeply before him when he visited his house. While Pang Degong was crossing the Mian to pay respect and tributes along with sacrifices to his ancestor's tomb, Sima Hui visited his house therefore he called Pang Degong's wife and children then told them to prepare the meal for an important guest only known from Xu Shu that would come to see him and Pang Degong. Pang Degong's wife and children respectfully followed his instructions. Soon Pang Degong was back and stood in attention for the meeting even though he did not know who the guest was. There relation was as close as family and there was no difference between guest and host. Sima Hui was ten years younger than Pang Degong therefore he treated him as an older brother. Calling him affectionately Lord Pang (龐公) to the point where people thought that Lord Pang (Pang Gong) was his courtesy name although it wasn't true.(德公，襄陽人。孔明每至其家，獨拜床下，德公初不令止。德操嘗造德公，值其渡沔，上祀先人墓，德操徑入其室，呼德公妻子，使速作黍，「徐元直向云有客當來就我與龐公譚。」其妻子皆羅列拜於堂下，奔走供設。須臾，德公還，直入相就，不知何者是客也。德操年小德公十歲，兄事之，呼作龐公，故世人遂謂龐公是德公名，非也。) Xiangyang Ji annotation in Sanguozhi vol. 37.
