Sun Bin is a descendant of Sun Wu. His life is like a magnificent epic, full of battles of wisdom and twists and turns of fate. The place of his birth, the land between Acheng and Juancheng, witnessed his friendship and betrayal with Pang Juan. In that era of the importance of force, two young talents swam in the sea of the art of war, and their hearts were full of longing for the future.
However, Pang Juan's heart is a gloomy forest. During a late-night solitary drink, he stared at the flickering candlelight, and his heart was secretly surging with jealousy of Sun Bin. He said to himself: "Sun Bin, your talent is like a bright star, and I can only be eclipsed by your brilliance." So, he decided to take action and lead Sun Bin into the net he had carefully weaved.
Sun Bin, your talent makes me admire, but it also makes me jealous. Pang Juan confessed to Sun Bin in the secret room. There was a hint of cruelty in his eyes, but it was fleeting.
Sun Bin smiled slightly, disapproving: "Pang Juan, you and I are classmates, why do you have to be upset because of this?" ”
Pang Juan was silent for a moment and sighed: "There can only be one most dazzling talent in this world. Sun Bin, do you understand? ”
Sun Bin was no longer speechless, he understood that Pang Juan's ambition and jealousy had pushed him to a dead end.
Sun Bin was summoned to the Wei State, and his heart was full of expectations for the future. He stepped into the palace of Wei, but he did not know that he was stepping into an elaborate trap. Pang Juan suddenly changed his face at the banquet and arrested Sun Bin on trumped-up charges. Sun Bin was in prison, facing the cold bars, his heart was full of incomprehension and anger. His eyes flashed with an unyielding light, and he said to himself: "My grandson, although I am in prison, my will is like a rock, and I will never waver. ”
In the dark corner of the beam, Sun Bin suffered inhuman torture. His feet were mercilessly chopped off, and his face was tattooed with a mark of shame. However, his heart was not destroyed, and his wisdom was like a seed buried deep in the ground, waiting for the arrival of spring. Every night in prison, he meditated on the art of war in his heart, which was his only solace.
The arrival of the envoys of the Qi State was like a beam of light penetrating Sun Bin's cell. During the secret meeting, Sun Bin's words were sharp and his wisdom was extraordinary, which moved the envoys. The envoy thought to himself: "This person is the pillar of the country, how can he be buried here?" So, he decided to take the risk of bringing Sun Bin back to Qi, a decision that changed Sun Bin's fate and the future of Qi.
In the Kingdom of Qi, the encounter between Sun Bin and Tian Ji is like the perfect combination of a wise man and a warrior. At a horse race, Tian Ji said to Sun Bin: "Mr. Sun, your talent, I, Tian Ji, am willing to hire you with a thousand gold." Sun Bin replied: "General Tian, although my Sun Bin is disabled and strong, I am willing to serve the Qi State and conspire with the world." Their dialogue is full of vision and determination for the future.
The situation was unpredictable, and the Wei State suddenly attacked the Zhao State, and the Zhao State was in danger, so he asked the Qi State for help. King Qi Wei intended to appoint Sun Bin as the main general, but Sun Bin politely declined, recommending Tian Ji as the chief general, and himself as a military advisor, secretly planning strategies.
Tian Ji originally planned to go straight to Zhao to rescue, but Sun Bin came up with an unexpected strategy. He parabled: "He who dissolves the silk shall not hold the branch and be hasty; Those who save the fight, do not hold the blade and help the fight. He believed that it was necessary to hold the fighters to the point so that they had to untie themselves because of the constraints of the situation. Therefore, he advised Tian Ji to quickly march into Daliang, occupy the main transportation routes, and attack the empty land of Wei. In this way, Wei will definitely give up attacking Zhao and return to save himself.
Tian Ji adopted Sun Bin's advice, and sure enough, the Wei army was forced to evacuate Handan and return to the division, engaged the Qi army at Guiling, and finally returned defeated.
Thirteen years later, Wei and Zhao jointly attacked Korea, and Korea appealed to Qi for help. The king of Qi once again sent Tian Ji to lead the army to the rescue and marched directly to Daliang. When Pang Juan heard the news, he hurriedly withdrew his troops back to Wei, while the Qi army had already crossed the border and advanced westward. Sun Bin said to Tian Ji: "The Wei army has always been known for its bravery and despises Qi soldiers. We need to follow this trend and guide it. ”
He said to Tian Ji: "General Tian, a soldier, is also treacherous. We need to defeat the strong with the weak and outwit with the outwitted. Pang Juan thinks very highly of himself, and we need to show it weakly to lure him deeper. Tian Ji nodded yes, admiring Sun Bin's resourcefulness in his heart.
Therefore, he used the strategy in the art of war and ordered the army to build a stove for 100,000 people to cook first, 50,000 people to cook on the second day, and 30,000 to cook on the third day. Pang Juan marched for three days, and saw that the Qi army's stove was gradually decreasing, thinking that most of the Qi army had been dispersed, so he abandoned the infantry and led the elite troops to pursue the Qi army day and night.
Sun Bin estimated Pang Juan's speed and concluded that he would rush to Maling that night. The road to Maling is narrow and steep, and it is a good place to ambush the army. So, he ordered the bark of the tree to be cut off to reveal the white wood and wrote: "Pang Juan died under this tree." At the same time, he ordered 10,000 Qi soldiers who were good at shooting to ambush on both sides of Maling Road, and agreed to fire ten thousand arrows at the sight of fire.
Pang Juan was under the tree in Maling, looking at the handwriting on the white wood, his heart was full of contempt and confidence, but he didn't know that this was the trap that Sun Bin had prepared for him. He lit the fire, but he didn't know that the fire was the signal of the Qi army's ambush. When the rain of arrows rained down, Pang Juan finally realized his failure, he drew his sword and killed himself, and sighed before dying: "I have exhausted all my life, but I unexpectedly achieved the name of Sun Bin." ”
Sun Bin's wisdom and courage have become a good story for later generations. His story is a symbol of wisdom and tenacity, inspiring every heart that aspires to success. In that era of heroes, Sun Bin's name, like a star that never falls, illuminates the way for future generations.
