The Spring and Autumn Warring States period was a period of great division in Chinese history, and it was also a period of great talent and controversy among a hundred schools of thought. During the struggle for supremacy in the Seven Kingdoms of Qi, Chu, Yan, Han, Zhao, Wei, and Qin, talents from all walks of life emerged, including confucius, Mozi, Sun Tzu and other famous masters and celebrities that we are familiar with. Today we are going to talk about Sun Wu, the descendant of Sun Wu, the creator of "Sun Tzu's Art of War.". Presumably, everyone must have heard the story between the two brothers Sun Zhen and Pang Juan.
The two brothers hated because of jealousy, and they killed because of hatred. From the two brothers, we not only see Pang Juan's jealousy and Sun Zhen's hidden forbearance, but also see the horror of human nature and learn the truth of how to behave in the world.
Sun Bing
Sun Bing, whose real name is unknown, was born between Ah and Juan. He was once in the same window as Pang Juan. Legend has it that the two worshiped Ghost Guzi as a teacher, and Oni Guzi taught them to practice the art of war. Because both of them are people with great ambitions and are very speculative in their speech, the two are also very good friends.
Later, Pang Juan left the State of Wei and served as a general of King Hui of Wei. However, he thought that his talent was inferior to that of his good brother Sun Zhen, and regarded Sun Zhen as a major problem in his heart. Therefore, he secretly sent someone to invite Sun Bing to the State of Wei and monitor him. However, due to Sun Zhen's outstanding talent, which caused Pang Juan's jealousy, so Pang Juan used his political skills and privately accused Sun Zhi of collaborating with the enemy and treason, and the King of Wei believed it to be true after hearing it, and according to the criminal law of the State of Wei at that time, sun Bin's kneecap was dug up, and a letter was tattooed on Sun Zhen's face, so that he could not be a righteous and bright person in this life.
After Sun Bing was killed by his good friend Pang Juan, he was disheartened and wanted to commit suicide several times, but he was not willing to do so. I had to put up with it, and even in order to eliminate Pang Juan's suspicions, I once pretended to be crazy and stupid, and even ate pig dung in the pigsty to eliminate Pang Juan's vigilance.
Sun Bing, Pang Juan
It just so happened that at that time, there were envoys from the State of Qi to the State of Wei, and Sun Zhen secretly met with the emissaries of the State of Qi as a prisoner, and the emissaries heard about this situation and also knew that Sun Zhi was a person with great talent and felt that he was extraordinary. So he secretly stuffed him into his carriage and quietly brought him back to the State of Qi.
After Sun Bing came to the State of Qi, the King of Qi also admired Sun Bing's talent. At that time, there was a great general named Tian Ji in the State of Qi, who was very fond of the noble princes to race horses and gamble money, but they lost miserably every time. It happened that Once Sun Bin was a guest at Tian Jide's mansion. Sun Bing proposed, "Now take the king's lower donkey and the other's upper donkey, take the king's upper donkey and the other's middle donkey, take the king's middle donkey and the other's lower donkey." "The strategy. Tian Ji won a great victory after using Sun Zhen's strategy. After hearing about this, the King of Qi reused Sun Zhi, so Sun Bing became a military master of the State of Qi.
After Sun Zhi left, Pang Juan still lived well in the State of Wei, and was the first army division of the State of Wei at that time. However, the high-powered Pang Juan was still not satisfied with the present, and he needed more battle achievements to increase his prestige.
Pang Juan
So soon after, the news came that the Wei army was besieging handan, the capital of the Zhao state. Pang Juan took the initiative to provoke an incident and led 80,000 troops to besiege the Zhao State, relying on his excellent military skills, the Zhao State did not dare to fight. When the State of Zhao was about to perish, it had no choice but to send emissaries to the State of Qi for help.
The King of Qi wanted to send Sun Zhi to rescue the Zhao state, but Sun Bing was inconvenient for his legs and feet, so Sun Bing asked Tian Ji to lead the army, and he himself assisted him. So Tian Ji as the main general, Sun Zhen as the military division, the army to save Zhao set off.
After Tian Ji and Sun Zhen led their armies to the border areas of Qi and Wei. Tian Ji wanted to directly engage the main force of the Wei army, but was stopped by Sun Zhen, who believed that the State of Wei had been attacking the State of Zhao for a long time, the main force was consumed outside, the domestic defense must be empty, and the tactics of attacking the east and the west and encircling Wei to save Zhao should be adopted, directly attacking the capital of the State of Wei, Daliang, to force the State of Wei to withdraw, and as long as the State of Wei withdrew, the State of Zhao would naturally be saved.
Tian Ji followed Sun Zhi's advice and went south to attack Pingling of the Wei state, and when approaching Pingling, Sun Ji suggested to Tian Ji that the dudu of Linzi and Gaotang cities should lead an army to attack Pingling directly, in order to attract the main force of the Wei army, after the defeat of the two Qi armies attacking Pingling.
Sun Zhi asked Tian Ji to send lightly armored chariots to attack the outskirts of the Wei capital Daliang directly, in order to provoke Pang Juan to force him to lead his army back to reinforcements; on the other hand, he asked Tian Ji to send a small number of troops to pretend to engage Pang Juan's troops, deliberately showing weakness to make him light enemies. After several ruse by Sun Zhen, Pang Juan did indeed lose his weight and marched back to da liang day and night with a lightly armed and urgent march. Sun Zhen led the main force to design an ambush at Guiling, and Pang Juan was defeated.
Later, Pang Juan once again led an army to attack Korea, but Sun Zhen still repeated the same trick, using the tactics of encircling Wei to save Zhao, leading an army to attack the Wei capital Daliang. Pang Juan learned the news and hurriedly withdrew his troops from Korea to return to the State of Wei, Sun Zhen considered that the Wei army was proud of its courage, and would certainly despise the Qi army, and the Qi army also had a reputation for cowardice, and should adopt the tactic of luring the enemy to go deep, luring the Wei army into the ambush circle and annihilating it.
At that time, when the army was marching, the cooking was to dig a pit in the ground to make a stove for cooking. Therefore, Sun Bin ordered the troops to reduce the number of stoves on the ground day by day, so that Pang Juan mistakenly thought that a large number of deserters of the Qi army fled without a fight, thus relaxing his vigilance. Sure enough, Pang Juan was ecstatic when he saw the situation on the stove on the ground, so he left the infantry and led the elite cavalry to pursue the Qi army.
However, Sun Bin had already set up an ambush and only waited for Pang Juan to enter the trap. Sun Bin ordered the soldiers to cut down the bark of the tree, revealing the white wood, on which was inscribed: Pang Juan died in these large characters. After Sun Bing arrived, he went to the tree to check it out. At this time, the Qi soldiers who had already agreed to send out ten thousand swords were fired at the same time, and the Wei army suffered heavy casualties for a while, and Pang Juan knew that the defeat was decided, so he killed himself.
Finally, Sun Bin, who had been stripped of his double arms, was repaid with a great revenge after many years, and the gentleman took revenge, and it was not too late to do so ten years later.
Zodiac Zhou said, "Sun Zhen learned the art, and only then was he jealous." Organizationally, appeasement is abolished. Who knows the return, but Qili. Saving Zhao Xiangliang has taken his breath. Reduce the temptation of the stove, and kill yourself quickly. Ten thousand crossbows and horses, do not allow evasion. Who means that the shaft became famous? ”
