The "Chronicle of History" once said: "His grandson was on his feet and planned Pang Juan." "During the Warring States period, although Sun Zhi Pang Juan came out of the Ghost Valley Zi Gate and had the same friendship, but because of jealousy, Pang Juan repeatedly rejected Sun Zhi, and the two fought with each other, and never stopped.
Although in the eyes of many people, there should be a harmonious relationship between different outstanding talents, based on each other's help and support, both sides can achieve common development. However, throughout the ages, under the influence of jealousy, it is difficult for many talents to obtain a harmonious relationship between them, but they will make tit-for-tat moves.
When it comes to Sun Bin and Pang Juan in the Warring States period, I believe that many people are not strangers, although the two also studied under Oniguzi, but there are extremely sharp contradictions. Once, Sun Bing was cut off by Pang Juan and stabbed in the face to avenge the snow hate, and later Sun Bing also became extremely fierce. So, why do two people in the same door go head-to-head? How did the later Sun Bing avenge himself?
During the Warring States period, Sun Zhen and Pang Juan once came to the Ghost Valley Zi gate together to learn the art of war. In the process of studying, Sun Bin's performance was even better than Pang Juan's.
However, after the two of them completed their studies, Sun Zhen did not find the opportunity to display his ambitions, but Pang Juan successfully became a general of the State of Wei and had an extremely honorable position.
At that time, Pang Juan pretended to invite Sun Zhi to the State of Wei and monitor him to prevent Sun Zhi from threatening his position, but Sun Zhi did not realize Pang Juan's ulterior motives, but instead believed that Pang Juan was sincere with him. However, shortly after coming to the State of Wei, Pang Juan tortured Sun Zhen on trumped-up charges.
After that, Sun Bing's kneecap was brutally exhumed, and in addition, Sun Bing's face was engraved with extremely humiliating words. Tormented by these two punishments, Sun Bin was almost beaten into the bottomless abyss, however, what Pang Juan did not expect was that Sun Bin did not completely yield, but had a very firm belief in revenge.
Later, with the help of an emissary from the State of Qi, Sun Bin came to the State of Qi and became one of Tian Ji's protégés. Although during this period, Sun Bin had already gained a high social status, in order to realize the ideal of revenge in his heart, he also needed to find a way to grasp the military power of the State of Qi and get the opportunity to take revenge on Pang Juan.
In the end, in the process of Tian Ji's horse race, Sun Zhi successfully helped Tian Ji win the race, and the king of Qi Wei at that time also saw Sun Ji's talent. Eventually, Sun Bin was appointed as the Commander of the Qi Army, and since then he has successfully seized military power and begun to take revenge on Pang Juan.
In 354 BC, the State of Wei besieged the capital of the State of Zhao, Handan, and under the influence of such a dilemma, the State of Zhao appealed to the State of Qi for help. At that time, king Wei of Qi decided to send reinforcements, and Sun Bin, as a division of the Qi army, went out with Tian Ji.
Although on the surface, the State of Qi should come to the Zhao state of Handan and repel the Wei army, after all, Handan was in a critical situation at that time. However, in order to completely defeat the State of Wei, the State of Qi decided to encircle Wei and save Zhao, and by attacking the base camp of the State of Wei, the Wei army that surrounded the State of Zhao could withdraw from the State of Zhao.
At that time, after the King of Wei learned that the Qi army had reached the capital of the State of Wei, he quickly ordered the front-line soldiers to return to the Defense of the State of Wei. However, at that time, Sun Bin set up an ambush on the road that the Wei army had to pass. After this battle, the State of Wei suffered a heavy blow, and Sun Zhen continued to take revenge on Pang Juan.
Since then, Pang Juan has been extremely defensive against Sun Zhen, however, Sun Zhen has caused the illusion of a sharp decrease in the size of the Qi army by increasing the number of troops and reducing the stove, so as to confuse Pang Juan. Because Sun Bing's talent was already above Pang Juan, his advantages were also obvious in the process of sun bing's duel with Pang Juan.
In the end, Pang Juan completely fell into the trap of Sun Zhen's schemes, and the Wei army he led was also attacked by the Qi army. At that time, Pang Juan knew that the defeat was decided, so he drew his sword and killed himself, ending his life.
Although in the former Spring and Autumn Warring States, the State of Wei once had a dominant position, with the death of Pang Juan, the prosperity of the State of Wei completely disappeared.
epilogue
Although Sun Zhen's revenge behavior in the later period was more fierce, the reason why he would pursue Pang Juan so poorly was also because pang Juan's cruel torture of him at the beginning.
During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there were constant disputes between various princely states, and because of this, talent was of vital significance to the development of various princely states.
Although both Sun Bin and Pang Juan had outstanding talents, based on Pang Juan's early acts of jealousy, the State of Wei he helped was also seriously affected. If Pang Juan had not made this move, he might not have ended up with such a tragic end.
It can be seen that no matter what the background of the times, people should not get along with each other by jealousy. After all, jealousy, far from helping us create a better life, can plunge us into the abyss of darkness.
After learning such historical lessons, I believe that people will treat those talents who are better than themselves with a more tolerant and positive attitude, and strive to learn from their corresponding experiences, so as to promote their own ability to improve and help the country achieve better development.
