In 355 B.C., Pang Juan, the general of Wei, was entertaining the envoys of Qi in the palace, but at this time, it was not singing and dancing that was helping the banquet, but a hunting game with living people as the target, and this crazy live target was Pang Juan's senior brother Sun Bin.
At this moment, Sun Bin was lying on the ground, talking crazy in his mouth, but his eyes had already caught a glimpse of the envoy of Qi sitting on the upper seat, and Sun Bin understood that maybe this person could help him escape.
When the envoy of Qi saw Pang Juan using a living person as a target, he couldn't bear it in his heart, so he said bluntly: "General Pang, after all, he is a human life, and it is really inappropriate for a living person to be a target." ”
However, Pang Juan, who was sitting on the side, stared at Sun Bin with dead eyes, hoping to see a flaw in it, and then said to the envoy of Qi State: "He's just a madman, why is the envoy so nervous?" ”
Sun Bin and Pang Juan were both apprentices of Guiguzi. In that year, Pang Juan first went down the mountain to enter the Wei Kingdom, and then invited Sun Bin to assist the King of Wei together. Who knows, soon after Sun Bin arrived in the Wei State, he was accused of fornicating with the Qi State, dug out his kneecaps, and became a waste.
What Sun Bin didn't expect was that all this was planned by Pang Juan, and his purpose was to get the art of war passed on to Sun Bin by Guiguzi, so that Sun Bin would no longer threaten his position.
In order to escape from Wei, Sun Bin had to pretend to be crazy to find an opportunity, but Pang Juan was not stupid and tried his best to test Sun Bin, so there was the opening scene.
So, what method did Sun Bin use to avoid Pang Juan's temptation? As a prisoner and unable to walk on his legs, how did he escape from Wei? What kind of thunderous means did he use to take revenge on Pang Juan and let him die a tragic death?
All this has to start from Sun Bin and Pang Juan entering the Wei Kingdom.
01
入仕魏国
In the middle of the Warring States Period, the Seven Heroes competed for hegemony, the war continued, and the vassal states wanted to dominate the world by force, and the master of the art of war came into being, and the most mysterious of them was Guiguzi.
According to legend, Guiguzi has a military book, and those who get this book can dominate the world. However, Guiguzi had already retired from the rivers and lakes and did not ask about the affairs of the world, but his disciples Pang Juan and Sun Bin went down the mountain one after another, assisting the princes of various countries and stirring up the world.
Sun Bin is a native of Qi and a descendant of Sun Wu, a master of the art of war. Sun Bin has had great ambitions since he was a child and wants to make a career. So, he and Pang Juan worshiped Guiguzi as a teacher, learned the art of war together, and the two also worshipped as brothers with different surnames.
However, Pang Juan is different from Sun Bin in that he apprenticed to seek fame. At that time, the Seven Heroes competed for hegemony, Wei Gang King Wei was very ambitious, wanted to dominate the world, in order to strengthen the Wei State, he began to recruit talents with great fanfare, and the conditions given were also quite generous.
After Pang Juan heard the news, he wanted to go down the mountain and enter the Wei Kingdom.
On this day, Sun Bin was reading a book in the room, and he didn't want Pang Juan to come uninvited, and he looked like he wanted to speak and stopped, which seemed to be very difficult. Seeing this, Sun Bin asked, "Senior brother, what's wrong with you?" ”
Pang Juan suddenly said excitedly: "I heard that King Wei is recruiting talents, senior brother, this may be our luck!" ”
Hearing this, Sun Bin asked, "Do you want to go down the mountain to the Wei Kingdom?" ”
Pang Juan saw that Sun Bin saw his thoughts, so he no longer hid it, and said: "Senior brother, I have been learning the art of war with my master for several years, and now I can form a powerful battle and break the enemy to win generals, I will definitely be appreciated by the King of Wei, senior brother, you can go down the mountain with me." ”
Sun Bin shook his head and said, "I haven't yet comprehended what my master has taught, and I still need Master's guidance, and it's not time to go down the mountain." ”
At this time, Pang Juan was eager to make a contribution, and he didn't want to wait for Sun Bin any longer, so he decided to go down the mountain first to seek fame.
The decision was made, and Master Guiguzi took a hexagram for him, and the results showed that Pang Juan only had twelve years of luck, and they were all in the Wei State. Such divination results made Pang Juan feel complicated, but he still insisted on going down the mountain.
Before leaving, Sun Bin came to say goodbye, and Pang Juan promised that if there was a step to advance, he would definitely recommend Sun Bin to the King of Wei, and the two would work together for a great cause. But Sun Bin waved his hand and said, "Senior brother, Master asked me to bring you a message, saying that you will be honored when you meet a sheep and die when you meet a horse." ”
Guiguzi's words made Pang Juan a little confused, and after thinking for a long time, he didn't know what the master meant, at this time he was in a hurry to go down the mountain, so he didn't ask any more, and left in a hurry after saying goodbye to Sun Bin.
After Pang Juan came to Wei, he asked for a relationship and sent gold, silver and jewelry, and finally met the king of Wei with his efforts. Therefore, he poured out what he had learned all his life and talked endlessly about the policies of governing the country and leading troops to fight.
After the speech, Pang Juan also assured the King of Wei that if he was allowed to be a general, the Six Kingdoms would be under his control, and Wei would also become the head of the Seven Kingdoms, and it would not be impossible to dominate the world at that time.
At this time, the Wei State needed a general like Pang Juan to expand its territory, so the King of Wei believed Pang Juan's promise and appointed him as a general to take charge of the military power of the Wei State.
Pang Juan was indeed as he said, and after holding the military power, he began to lead his troops to attack Wei, Song and other countries, and won many battles. For a time, Pang Juan became famous and won the trust of King Wei.
Pang Juan, who became a master, remembered Sun Bin who was waiting for him in the Ghost Valley, but whether to recommend Sun Bin to King Wei made Pang Juan very difficult.
If Sun Bin is recommended to the King of Wei, Sun Bin will soon surpass himself with his talent, but if he does not recommend it, once Sun Bin goes to another country, he will not be his opponent.
After thinking about it, Pang Juan finally came up with a foolproof plan to protect his position.
On this day, the envoy of Wei came to the Guigu with a generous gift prepared by the king of Wei to ask to see Sun Bin, and the envoy handed him a letter when he saw Sun Bin. In the letter, Pang Juan bluntly said that he had recommended Sun Bin to the King of Wei, hoping that Sun Bin could go down the mountain to enter Wei, and the two would work together.
After reading the letter, Sun Bin remembered that his ancestor Sun Wu had Xingwu and Chu and had made great achievements, and he himself had indeed achieved nothing, and he was ashamed of his ancestors.
When Guiguzi heard that Sun Bin was going to Wei, he also did not stop him, but also made a hexagram for Sun Bin. The result of the hexagram is that Sun Bin will have a disability and will eventually return to his homeland.
Sun Bin was a little hesitant when he saw this result, but he thought of his lofty ideals, learning art is not to seek personal wealth, for the people and the country, even if there are thousands of cuts, he must use his own talents to ensure the stability of the world.
After Sun Bin bid farewell to Guiguzi, he followed the envoy of Wei to the capital of Wei and met the king of Wei under the recommendation of Pang Juan.
King Wei had already gotten the news that Sun Bin had obtained Guiguzi's military letter, so he treated him with courtesy. At this time, in order to show his generosity and loyalty to the King of Wei, Pang Juan pretended to suggest to the King of Wei that Sun Bin should be appointed as a general.
Sun Bin refused again and again when he heard this, he was a newcomer and had no military merits, how could he dare to take on such a heavy responsibility. King Wei listened to Pang Juan's suggestion, and praised Pang Juan in his heart, and after thinking for a while, he made Sun Bin a guest and promoted him after he had merit.
In the Wei State, the guest secretary was half a guest and half a courtier, so he was not a minister of Wei in the real sense. Therefore, Sun Bin only enjoyed the courtesy of King Wei, but he did not have real power in his hands, and this was also the result that Pang Juan wanted.
Pang Juan knew Sun Bin's personality, and he knew that Sun Bin would not suffer in vain, so he staged this drama of letting Xian in front of King Wei, and let Sun Bin take the initiative to retreat, so that he could not only retain his power, but also suppress Sun Bin.
However, a person's talent can't be suppressed after all, and as King Wei gradually trusts Sun Bin, Pang Juan's jealousy of Sun Bin is getting deeper and deeper. He understands that as long as Sun Bin is here, he will never become the number one general in the world.
At this time, Pang Juan was no longer the Pang Juan when he was in the Ghost Valley, and the temptation of money and power made him gradually lose his heart. His jealousy of Sun Bin slowly turned into resentment, and he wanted to get rid of Sun Bin so that he would never have the future.
On this day, when Sun Bin had just returned home from the court and was ready to study the border defense of Wei, a Qi man named Ding Yi came to ask for a meeting, saying that he had a very important letter to give to Sun Bin.
Sun Bin did not doubt that he had him, and met with Ding Yi. Ding Yi brought a letter from his cousin Sun Ping. Sun Ping mentioned in the letter that he hoped that Sun Bin could return to Qi and work with him to revive the Sun family's business.
But Sun Bin understood that he was a courtier of Wei at the moment, and Wei and Qi had always been hostile, so this was not the time to return to Qi, so he sent a letter back to Sun Ping and declined his kindness.
Sun Bin gave Ding Yi a letter to take back to Qi and gave him some travel expenses. But who knows, this Ding Yi is not from Qi at all, but Pang Juan's henchman, and after he got Sun Bin's family letter, he hurriedly went to the General's Mansion.
After Pang Juan read Sun Bin's letter, he found someone to imitate his handwriting, changed the letter, and asked Ding Yi to take it to the border between Qi and Wei.
Soon after, the defenders of the Wei border caught a spy of Qi, and they also searched for a letter from this spy agent, and after reading the contents of the letter, they could not decide, so they quickly delivered the letter to the Wei king.
After reading the letter, King Wei was furious and urgently summoned Pang Juan into the palace. After Pang Juan came to the palace of King Wei in fear, King Wei gave the letter to Pang Juan, and Pang Juan pretended to look at it blankly.
The letter reads:
I don't want to serve my mother country one day, but I know that Qi and Wei will have a war, so I pretend to defect to Wei and complete the great cause of the king of Qi.
After reading the letter, Pang Juan pretended to be surprised and pleaded for Sun Bin and said: "King, Sun Bin is a minister who knows very well, he won't do such a thing!" ”
But King Wei had already sentenced Sun Bin to death in his heart, and he didn't listen to Pang Juan's persuasion at all, and said angrily: "The evidence is conclusive, so no one can believe it." Sun Bin was bent on Qi and betrayed the Wei State, and the national law was intolerable. Someone came, put him on death row, and beheaded him on a certain day. ”
Pang Juan heard that the King of Wei was going to kill Sun Bin, so he hurriedly stopped: "King, although Sun Bin is guilty of collaborating with the enemy and treason, but the crime is not to death, according to the foolish opinion of the minister, it is better to be punished with punishment, so that he will not be allowed to return to his hometown for life." ”
King Wei listened to Pang Juan's suggestion, so he followed his wishes and handed over the matter to Pang Juan to deal with.
In this way, under Pang Juan's plan, Sun Bin was sentenced to death. Torture is the digging of a person's kneecaps, after which the person loses the ability to walk.
A general who could have been a golden iron horse, from now on he has to be accompanied by a wheelchair for the rest of his life, Sun Bin saw that he had become a wasted person, and wanted to commit suicide several times, but he survived the humiliation, because he wanted to find out who framed him.
And at this moment, Pang Juan also understands that in the whole world, no one can surpass Sun Bin in the way of the art of war, and more importantly, Sun Bin still has the military book taught to him by his master Guiguzi, which is what Pang Juan wants most.
In order to get the military book, Pang Juan took the crippled Sun Bin to his house for cultivation, sent good food and drink every day, and also greeted Sun Bin with cold and warmth, so as to influence Sun Bin and ask him to hand over the military book, but Sun Bin was unaware of what Pang Juan was doing.
After Pang Juan took care of Sun Bin for a few days, Sun Bin gradually recovered, and because of his gratitude for Pang Juan's life-saving grace and care, Sun Bin proposed to sort out the art of war he had studied and send it to Pang Juan.
After Pang Juan heard this, he was overjoyed in his heart, in order to let Sun Bin write a military book as soon as possible, Pang Juan sent his subordinates to monitor Sun Bin's every move day and night.
One day, Sun Bin's scholar came back from an errand and overheard the conversation of Pang Juan's subordinates in the corridor, only to learn that everything that Sun Bin suffered was a trap set by Pang Juan, and Pang Juan also intended to kill Sun Bin after he finished writing the war book.
After listening to the conversation of his subordinates, the scholar hurriedly told Sun Bin the secret.
At this time, Sun Bin was seriously compiling the military book, and when he heard the words of the scholar, he said disapprerovitously: "You don't want to talk nonsense, how can the junior brother harm me." ”
After hearing this, the scholar said anxiously: "Sir, Ding Yi, who sent you the letter, was really sent by General Pang. He accepted it and said that he would kill you when you finished writing the war letter. ”
When Sun Bin heard this, he was terrified. He recalled that when he first came to Wei, Pang Juan had asked him about his parents and brothers in the clan, and Sun Bin suddenly realized.
It turned out that he was convicted of collaborating with the enemy, and it was Pang Juan's conspiracy to have his kneecaps cut out, and it was only then that he really saw Pang Juan's true face. The once good brother actually killed himself for a war book.
Sun Bin hated himself for seeing the wrong person and befriending such an unrighteous person. But now, Pang Juan sent people to monitor his every move, and with his leg disabled, it was extremely difficult to escape from Wei.
In order not to make Pang Juan suspicious, Sun Bin was writing a military book while thinking of a way to escape from Wei. Finally, halfway through Sun Bin's soldier's book, he went crazy.
It didn't take long for the subordinate to report to Pang Juan, saying that Sun Bin had gone crazy, but Pang Juan didn't believe it, but seeing that the subordinate said it was true, he was ready to go and find out in person.
02
The controversy of Sun Pang
The imprisoned Sun Bin was already unkempt at the moment, his mouth was full of crazy words, and he laughed from time to time, and recognized Pang Juan as Master Guiguzi, and laughed happily: "Are you here to pick me up?" ”
Pang Juan didn't believe that such a smart Sun Bin would go crazy, so he said tentatively: "Senior brother, since you know everything, then don't spoil yourself anymore, it's better to write the soldiers as soon as possible, it's useless to pretend to be crazy." ”
No matter how Pang Juan tried with words, Sun Bin looked like a crazy demon and only recognized him as his master.
In order to further test Sun Bin, Pang Juan sent someone to put Sun Bin in a pigsty. But Sun Bin in the pigsty was still crazy and moody, and when he was tired, he fell asleep in the pigsty. Pang Juan still didn't believe it, so he sent someone to throw Sun Bin on the street.
Sun Bin smelled all over his body, dragging his broken leg and crawling around, sleeping directly on the street when he was tired, and picking up food everywhere when he was hungry, completely ignoring the eyes of others.
At this point, Pang Juan also believed it and removed the person who was monitoring Sun Bin, leaving only two ordinary subordinates to take care of him.
On the second day, there was a crowd of people in Daliang City, and everyone was preparing to welcome the envoy from Qi State, and it was this envoy from Sun Bin's mother country that brought Sun Bin a ray of life.
The king of Qi at that time was Tian Yinqi, the king of Qiwei, and when he first ascended the throne, he did not care about the government and greedy for pleasure. Later, when Zou Ji was appointed as the prime minister, he began to work hard to implement reforms, and the state of Qi gradually became stronger. Since then, the king of Qi has often sent envoys to other countries to deepen their friendship.
This time, the envoy of Qi sent an envoy to Wei, firstly, to communicate with Wei, and secondly, to find out the news of Wei. Since Sun Bin knew that the envoy of Qi had come to Wei, he tried every possible means to get close to the envoy, hoping that he could leave Wei with him.
Late one night, Sun Bin found the envoy of Qi in dirty and smelly clothes, and although the envoy recognized him as the crazy man at the banquet, he did not know who he was.
After the envoy of Qi learned about Sun Bin's situation, he thought that Sun Bin was a usable talent, and if he got Sun Bin, he got the military book. So, the envoy of Qi agreed to take Sun Bin away from Wei.
That night, Sun Bin and the envoys of Qi planned a seamless escape plan, but Pang Juan was unaware of it.
Although Pang Juan also suspected that the arrival of the envoy of Qi was related to Sun Bin, as the day of the envoy of Qi was approaching, Sun Bin was still crazy, and his hanging heart gradually let go.
After the envoy of Qi left, Pang Juan immediately sent guards to check on Sun Bin on the street, but Sun Bin was still crawling around on the street as usual, and Pang Juan was relieved.
But I didn't expect that early the next morning, the next person came to report that Sun Bin was gone!
It turned out that the Sun Bin that Pang Juan's guards saw yesterday was fake, and it was the envoy of Qi who found a person similar to Sun Bin and put on Sun Bin's clothes to fake, and the real Sun Bin hid in the carriage of the envoy of Qi as early as yesterday and left Wei safely.
Sun Bin relied on pretending to be crazy, paralyzed Pang Juan's vigilance, and with the help of the envoy of Qi, he returned to his hometown. Subsequently, the envoy of Qi recommended him to the general Tian Ji.
Tian Ji is an open-minded person who loves and cherishes talents. When he heard what happened to Sun Bin and admired his perseverance, he left him in the mansion and treated him as a distinguished guest.
Although King Qi has worked hard over the years to get rid of the problem of indulging in pleasure, only the hobby of gambling has not been changed. He often raced horses with the courtiers, and the general Tian Ji was also a frequent visitor on the racecourse, and it was a horse race that gave Sun Bin the opportunity to show his ability.
One day, King Qi and Tian Ji came to the racecourse to race horses again, but because Tian Ji's horse was not as good as King Qi, Tian Ji wanted to make less bets and deal with King Qi. But Sun Bin was unusual, insisting on letting Tian Ji bet with a thousand gold, and promised that Tian Ji would definitely win the game.
Although Tian Ji bet with a thousand gold, he did not believe that he could win the game, but Sun Bin was full of confidence and said: "I have my own clever plan!" ”
At the beginning of the race, Tian Ji followed Sun Bin's instructions to compare his superior horse with the medium horse of the King of Qi, the medium horse with the inferior horse of the King of Qi, and the inferior horse with the superior horse of the King of Qi. After three games, two wins and one loss, he won the daughter of King Qi.
King Qi was surprised, he didn't want Tian Ji to have such a plan, Tian Ji had to give Sun Bin's guidance and discernment, pushed Sun Bin in front of King Qi, and said all the good things for Sun Bin. When the king of Qi saw that the Wei State had Pang Juan, he wanted to take Sun Bin under his command and serve him.
Sun Bin remembered what Pang Juan had done to him, he vowed to take revenge, and he was a member of Qi, so he expressed to King Qi that he was willing to assist King Qi to achieve great causes.
In 353 BC, Wei sent troops to attack Zhao, and the general Pang Juan soon led his troops to attack Handan, the capital of Zhao.
As a result, the king of Qi appointed Sun Bin as a general and led his troops to support Zhao. However, Sun Bin politely refused on the grounds that he was disabled. So, King Qi changed Tian Ji to be a general, Sun Bin to be a military advisor, and sent troops to rescue Zhao.
Sun Bin and Pang Juan, the former brothers, finally met on the battlefield.
Tian Ji originally wanted to lead his troops directly into the Zhao State, but the military advisor Sun Bin disagreed. Sun Bin suggested that he enter Handan with a virtual division and pretend to support Zhao Guo. Then with the elite division to immediately attack the capital of Wei, Pang Juan will definitely lead his troops to rescue, and then set up an ambush on the road to annihilate Pang Juan and others in one fell swoop.
Tian Ji adopted Sun Bin's suggestion and gathered the main force in the preset position in Guiling, preparing to annihilate the enemy. In October, just as Pang Juan was trying his best to conquer Handan, he received the news that Daliang was besieged, and the king of Wei ordered him to quickly lead troops to rescue.
Daliang is the capital of Wei, if Daliang is conquered, it will mean the destruction of Wei, Pang Juan had to rest the army and go to Daliang quickly. What he never expected was that when they marched to Guiling, the Qi army came like a tide and surrounded them.
The two armies fought, the Wei army was killed and scattered and fled, almost the entire army was wiped out, while Pang Juan led a small number of remnants of the weak generals, trying his best to break out of the encirclement. This is the famous "Battle of Guiling" in history. Wei suffered a crushing defeat in this battle, but it did not hurt its vitality.
Soon after, Wei counterattacked Qin to the west and regained lost territory. After that, Wei convened the "Fengze Meeting", following the example of the princes of Qi Huan and Jiuhe, and all the countries participated, but Qi and Korea did not go.
So, in 341 BC, the king of Wei ordered to attack Korea again, but Korea could not resist the attack of Wei and once again asked Qi for help. In order to prevent Wei from annexing Korea, the king of Qi once again strengthened his power and threatened the state of Qi, so he once again appointed Tian Ji as the main general and Sun Bin as his military advisor and sent troops to rescue.
Although Qi promised to rescue Korea, it did not send troops for a long time, but waited until Han and Wei were exhausted from the battle, and Tian Ji and Sun Bin led their troops to set off. This time, Tian Ji advocated sending troops directly to South Korea, but Sun Bin suggested that he saved Zhao back then, but he didn't go to Zhao, and now he doesn't need to go to South Korea to save Han.
What Sun Bin thought was to use the strategy of encircling Wei to save Zhao again to rescue South Korea. But Tian Ji believes that with Pang Juan's cleverness, he will definitely not be fooled again. But Sun Bin knows Pang Juan, Pang Juan is arrogant and arrogant, and he will definitely be tricked this time, and he will definitely die.
Tian Ji adopted Sun Bin's suggestion and led the army to approach Daliang, and at this time, Pang Juan was overwhelmed in South Korea and defeated the Korean army. Just as he was approaching the Korean capital, Tian Ji once again received an order from the King of Wei to withdraw his troops.
After Pang Juan received the order, he was furious, and in order to be ashamed, he rested his army again and went to Daliang, this time, it was a life-and-death contest between him and Sun Bin.
Pang Juan led his troops all the way to Wei State, trying to have a head-to-head confrontation with the Qi army that was attacking Daliang and fight it out. However, Sun Bin didn't think so, at this time he wanted to play a big play for Pang Juan and let Pang Juan enter the trap he had set.
After days of pursuit, Pang Juan finally found traces of the Qi army camping. The army needs to eat on a stove for rest, and judging from the stove pit this time, the Qi army has as many as 100,000.
But in less than three days, the Qi army's stove pit was reduced from 100,000 to 30,000, which made Pang Juan a little confused. However, Pang Juan thought that it was because of the approaching Wei army, which caused the morale of the Qi army to be low, that so many people would be reduced. Pang Juan thought to himself, this time the Qi army will definitely be annihilated.
Pang Juan traveled for three days, was overjoyed, and said: "I know that the Qi army is cowardly, and after three days of entering our land, more than half of the soldiers died." "He forsaken his infantry and drove it away in parallel with its light and sharpness.
At this time, Sun Bin had already calculated that in the evening, the Wei army would arrive at Maling Road. As Sun Bin expected, at nightfall, Pang Juan led the army into Maling Road, and when he saw a word on a tree, he ordered someone to light a fire to take a closer look.
I saw that the tree read: Pang Juan died under this tree.
Just when Pang Juan was in a hurry, the Qi army that was ambushed around suddenly attacked, and arrows rained down. Under the fierce attack of the Qi army, the Wei army was defeated, and Pang Juan, who had no way to retreat, remembered the admonition of his master Guiguzi at this time: Glory when encountering sheep, and deflated when encountering horses.
Seeing that the general trend had gone, Pang Juan also foresaw his end, and he said loudly and angrily: "Then he became the name of the erector!" ”
Because Pang Juan understands that as long as Sun Bin is there, he can only be second forever. In the end, Pang Juan was unwilling to be humiliated, drew his sword and killed himself!
03
At last
Sun Bin's revenge was very ruthless, first punishing the heart, and then killing people. He made Pang Juan understand that he would never be able to surpass Sun Bin. Twice for the same scheme, Pang Juan was repeatedly fooled, which made him suffer unprecedented humiliation.
Chairman Mao once commented on Sun Bin's military talent:
Attack Wei to save Zhao, because of the defeat of the Wei army, a master of the ages.
He Shengyu and He Shengliang are probably Pang Juan's mood before he died, he was unwilling and angry, but more often recognized the reality, and finally with his own heart of power, he waved his sword and died.
After Pang Juan's death, the Qi army pursued the victory and annihilated 100,000 Wei troops, and since then the national strength of Wei has gradually declined.
In 334 B.C., the king of Wei met the king of Qi in Xuzhou and respected the king of Qi as the king, and the king of Qi also recognized the king of Wei, known as the "King of Xuzhou" in history. This marked the disappearance of Wei's hegemony, and Qi dominated the East from then on.
After Pang Juan's death, Sun Bin couldn't help but think of their ideals when they were studying art together in the mountains: to swear to be rich and noble, and to build a great cause together. However, Pang Juan could not escape the temptation of power after all.
Sun Bin sometimes wonders if he hadn't worked together in the same country at the beginning, he wouldn't have had today's results. However, everything is gone, and nothing can be returned.
Later, Sun Bin, who returned to the Qi State, finally returned to the mountains and forests because he did not want to get involved in the struggles of various countries, and no longer cared about the affairs of the world, leaving only a peerless military book "Sun Bin Art of War" to the world!
