King Qi Wei, the monarch of the State of Qi during the Warring States period, was very fond of horse racing on weekdays.
Tian Ji was a general of the State of Qi, and his family also raised many horses. However, in the game, his horse almost lost every field. But this does not mean that the horses of the Tian Ji family are not good horses, of course, there are good horses.
At this time, Sun Bing had also just been invited to the Tian Mansion.
Sun Zhen was rescued from the State of Wei, and he was also a native of the State of Qi, and in his early years he studied the art of war under the King of Oniguzi. Due to his superior wisdom and diligent study, he soon became the most outstanding of the disciples of Oniguzi.
As we all know, Ghost Guzi is known as "Mou Sheng", a very mysterious figure in Chinese history, known as a thousand ancient qi people. He and Sun Tzu, Lao Tzu, Zhuangzi, Sun Tzu and other academic figures of equal name, although he lived in seclusion, he put the world in the chess game, and his disciples came and went to influence the survival of the nations, and then promoted the direction of history.
When Sun Zhi was a disciple under the Ghost Valley Zi, there was a classmate named Pang Juan, and the two had the same affection, but Pang Juan's personality was completely different from Sun Zhi's, one was impetuous, the other was loyal and honest, especially Sun Zhen's talent was far more than his own, which made him particularly unhappy. Later, after Pang Juan became a great general in the State of Wei, he was afraid that Sun Zhi would become an enemy of him after returning to the State of Qi, so he managed to trick Sun Zhi into the State of Wei, saying that he recommended it to King Hui of Wei, but in fact he caused harm behind his back, so that Sun Zhi suffered a lot of sins in the State of Wei, not only stabbed words in his face, but also dug up his kneecap and left him with a lifelong disability.
Later, Sun Zhen finally returned to the motherland with the help of Qi envoys.
Ancient people raced horses more hard, superior horses against superior horses, medium horses against medium horses, inferior horses against inferior horses, just like on the battlefield is also generals, soldiers against soldiers, more honest, less strategic.
Sun Bin once went with Tian Ji to watch Marseille and found that the quality of Tian Ji's horse and king QiWei's horse was not much related, but Tian Ji lost every time, because their horse racing strategy was to compare superior horses to superior horses, medium horses to medium horses, and inferior horses to inferior horses, so that if they were slightly inferior, they would definitely lose.
Later, King Qi Wei invited Tian Ji to race horses.
Sun Bin offered Tian Ji a small plan: When you play, the first game uses the inferior horse to the superior horse of the King of Qiwei, the second game uses the middle horse of the king of Qi, and the third uses the middle horse and the inferior horse of the king of Qi.
Tian Ji played again according to Sun Zhen's platoon arrangement, three games down, the first Tian Ji lost, the last two Tian Ji won. This result surprised King Qi Wei, so he asked Tian Ji, how can you win?
Tian Ji is also very realistic, he said, today can win, not the credit of my horse, but the result of Sun Bing's advice, horse racing and the use of soldiers is the same, all need to be resourceful and good judgment. Then, he recommended Sun Zhi to king Qi Wei.
In this way, Sun Zhen was appointed by King Wei of Qi as the commander of the Qi army (chief of the general staff).
Sun Zhi commanded two famous battles for the State of Qi, one was the Battle of Guiling, also known as the "Siege of Wei to Save Zhao"; and the other was the Battle of Maling, in which pang Juan, an old classmate who had murdered him and a famous general of the State of Wei, was also killed in this battle. These two battles have become classic examples in the history of our country, which have been appreciated and borrowed by future generations of military experts, and have been famous for generations.
Sun Bing's life went through ups and downs, and after he made great contributions to the Qi state, he did not linger on the magnates, but resigned from the military post, found a clean place, and like the teacher Oniguzi, while teaching, he wrote a book and wrote a book called "Sun Bing's Art of War".
In 760, Emperor Suzong of Tang built the Wucheng Wang Temple and posthumously awarded 74 famous generals from the Western Zhou Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty, and Sun Zhen was selected as the "64 Generals of the Wucheng Wang Temple", ranking second.
