In order to keep himself alive, he would rather pretend to be crazy.
He pretended to be crazy enough to climb into the street, sleep in the pigsty, and eat putrid food.
Why did he do this?
He wants to one day be able to put what he has learned to work, not to waste his life.
Of course, there is an element of waiting for the opportunity to avenge the snow hate.
Who is he?
His name is Sun Zhen.
He was a descendant of the great military figure Sun Wu of the Spring and Autumn Period.
Sun Wu, everyone should have heard about it. He is the author of the "Art of War of Sun Tzu".
According to the inference of time, Sun Bin should be the fifth grandson of Sun Wu.
膑, not his real name.
His real name, in the history books, can not be found.
Some people say his name is Sun Bin, and some people say that his name is Sun Boling. However, these names are all hearsay and lack of research.
However, the word 膑 can be determined to be imposed on him by later generations.
Because of the stomach, in ancient times it was a kind of punishment. This punishment is to cut off a person's kneecap with a knife, so that he can no longer stand and walk.
Unable to stand and walk, man, apparently becomes paralyzed.
No parent is likely to name their child Paralysis.
But this sun paralyzed son is a great man who has the courage to endure humiliation and believes that revenge will eventually come.
Why should I add the word courage before the word forbearance?
Because it takes courage to endure humiliation. Under all kinds of humiliation, if there is no courage to endure, people often choose to commit suicide.
When Sun Bin was bullied so much that he could only live like a pig and a dog, he did not choose to commit suicide, but chose to pretend to be crazy and chose to avoid further cruelty to him by the other party.
How did he get to this point?
It was because there was a man who was jealous of him.
This person who was jealous of him was once his classmate and friend.
This person, historically, has a full name.
This man's name is Pang Juan.
The "Records of History" records that Sun Bin and Pang Juan both learned the art of war. Pang Juan was both a general of Wei and the King of Hui, and thought that he could not reach Sun Zhen, but Yin summoned Sun Zhen. Pang Juan feared that he would be virtuous to himself, and if he was ill, he would cut off his legs with punishment and tuosify him, and he wanted to hide from him.
This process, expressed in modern language, to the effect that —
This Pang Juan studied with Sun Zhen at the time a master of martial arts.
This famous artist, according to the research of posterity, is a generation of grandmasters living in the mountains.
Pang Juan descended the mountain before Sun Zhen and obtained a very high position in the state of Wei at that time.
When Sun Bin was invited to come to him after his studies, he had evil thoughts.
He felt that once Sun Zhen came out, he would become his competitor.
Therefore, he created a crime for Sun Zhen, so that Sun Zhen was punished by being stripped of his kneecap, and stabbed words in his face, making it impossible to see anyone again.
People, at this time, can only crawl in and out. That kind of humiliation is really better than life.
But Sun Bing survived tenaciously.
It was precisely because he survived that he established great achievements in the country of Qi.
He was later rescued by the envoys of the State of Qi and fled to the State of Qi by car.
The Battle of Qi Wei Guiling finally gave him the opportunity to show his talents.
In that battle, he used the strategy of encircling Wei to save Zhao, causing the Qi army to defeat the Wei army.
Thirteen years later, the State of Wei, together with the State of Zhao, with Pang Juan as the commander, went to attack Korea, and South Korea sent an emergency to its ally Qi State.
At that time, the King of Qi sent Tian Ji as a general and Sun Zhi as his military division to go to the rescue of Han.
In this battle, he repaid his deep hatred even more bitterly.
In this battle, Sun Bing lured Pang Juan to a place called Maling by luring the enemy deeper, and shot him to death with a random arrow.
At that time, Sun Bin set up an ambush in the dense forest of this place in Maling, and asked people to peel off the bark of a large tree on one side, and then wrote on it: Pang Juan died under this tree.
When Pang Juan led his troops to chase under this tree, it was already nightfall. Someone reported to him that there was a word on the tree.
He felt strange, so he asked him to raise a torch to see what was written on the tree.
At this moment, the surrounding ambush troops fired in unison, and arrows rained down.
Pang Juan knew that his wisdom was poor and he could not get out, so he drew his sword and killed himself.
Later generations all admired Sun Zhen's use of soldiers like gods, and felt happy that he was so revengeful.
Later generations also summed up a famous saying on this, called: Gentleman's revenge, ten years is not too late.
This famous saying has been passed down to this day.
