Let’s talk about Liaozhai at the beginning, I scared all the fans on the Internet to death

"Brother Boling, please don't hit me."

Tian Ji on the side said dejectedly: "There is a big difference in strength between me and the king, and we lose every time."

But Sun Bin said: "Brother Ziqi, it depends on how you compare. In fact, I have observed it. Your horse control skills are no worse than the king's. The reason why you lost is just because your horse is slightly inferior to the king's. Super speed."

"That's the key."

Tian Ji said with emotion: "It's because my horse is not as good as the king's, so I lose."

But Sun Bin shook his head again: "If the horse is not as good as the king's, you may not lose. Brother Ziqi, if you do as I do, I guarantee that you will win this time."

"Really?"

Tian Ji was hesitant, but he still listened to Sun Bin's suggestion.

Subsequently.

Tian Ji once again competed with King Wei of Qi on horse racing.

result.

This time, as Sun Bin said, Tian Ji won.

King Qi Wei was very strange.

He was also confused because Tian Ji lost to him in several horse races.

Why did Tian Ji win this time?

In order to find out the reason, King Qi Wei found Tian Ji.

Tian Ji also reported to King Qi Wei, "I'm not sure either."

King Qi Wei was even more strange.

At this time, Tian Ji recommended Sun Bin to King Wei of Qi.

He said that this was a plan given to him by Brother Sun Bin.

King Qi Wei asked Sun Bin, "How did you let Tian Ji defeat me?"

Sun Bin then said: "Your Majesty, before you and General Tian raced horses, they always used high-grade horses against high-grade horses, medium-grade horses against low-grade horses, and low-grade horses against low-grade horses. Brother Ziqi also thought before that he wanted to beat you, so naturally You should also compare the best horse with your best horse. Compare the average horse with your average horse, and then compare the worst horse with your worst horse. This results in, regardless of Brother Birling No matter how you compare, Brother Boling will lose."

"But let's change our thinking. I asked Brother Boling to compare the low-grade horse with your high-grade horse, and compare Brother Boling's high-grade horse with your king's medium-grade horse. Then compare Brother Boling's medium-grade horse. Horse, compared with your inferior horse. In this way, Brother Birling achieved this horse racing victory."

After Sun Bin's explanation, King Qi Wei suddenly realized.

Simultaneously.

Sun Bin also told King Qi Wei about the art of war.

he thinks.

In fact, the same goes for horse racing and fighting.

If this is put on the battlefield, using such a strategy can also change the situation of the battle.

After a conversation with Sun Bin, King Qi Wei was overjoyed.

Originally, he thought Sun Bin was just an ordinary person, not to mention that his legs were broken and his face was tattooed, so he didn't want to reuse him.

But now King Qi Wei discovered that Sun Bin's art of war was so amazing.

From then on, King Wei of Qi began to reuse Sun Bin and often asked Sun Bin for advice on the art of war.

In 354 BC, Zhao State attacked Wei State.

Wei's ally, Wei, sent troops to occupy Handan of Zhao.

The State of Zhao sent an envoy to the State of Qi, hoping to get help from the State of Qi.

King Qi Wei convened a group of ministers to discuss how to deal with it.

on the stage.

King Qi Wei asked all the ministers.

Prime Minister Zou Ji opposed sending troops to rescue Zhao State, and believed that Wei State was the most powerful among the seven heroes of the Warring States Period at that time, and it would be unwise to offend Wei State.

Tian Ji advocated rescuing Zhao State, believing that Wei State was very powerful and once he defeated Zhao State, the threat to Qi State would be even greater.

The reason why Qi State has been relatively stable for a period of time is because Wei State has Zhao State on its side to contain Wei State.

Once Zhao State declines, Qi State will be in danger.

finally.

King Wei of Qi followed Tian Ji's suggestion and sent troops to rescue Zhao.

"General, what is your strategy for fighting the Wei army this time?"

Tian Ji led the troops this time as a general on the expedition, and Sun Bin was used as a military advisor because he had been highly used by King Wei of Qi.

Tian Ji's idea was that as soon as he arrived near Zhao, he would send troops to fight directly with Wei's troops to break the siege of Handan.

But Sun Bin said: "Wei has strong soldiers and horses, and the famous general Pang Juan leads the troops. If we fight them directly, the chance of winning is not very good. Even if we win, our side will suffer great losses. Instead of doing this, it is better to take the opportunity to attack Wei Beam."

Tian Ji was stunned and said: "We are just trying to relieve the siege of Handan, why are we going to attack the capital of Wei?"

Sun Bin then said: "Wei State sent its main force to attack Zhao State and besieged Handan for a long time. In this way, Wei State's capital must be empty. Once we attack Wei State's beams, then Wei State's troops and horses sent to Handan will definitely send troops to rescue." As long as Wei withdraws its troops, Zhao will naturally be saved. This is called surrounding Wei and rescuing Zhao."

have to say.

Sun Bin's strategy was very powerful.

Tian Ji adopted Sun Bin's strategy and changed his marching route to attack Daliang of Wei.

Pang Juan, the general of Wei State, originally surrounded Handan, but he received news that Qi State was sending troops to support Zhao State.

But Pang Juan made a response strategy, believing that he would not be afraid even if Qi State came to help.

but.

When he was waiting for the soldiers and horses of Qi to fight against him.

Military reports came out again that Qi soldiers and horses did not move towards Handan, but were approaching Daliang, the capital of Wei.

King Hui of Wei hurriedly issued an order to ask Pang Juan to rescue him.

on the other hand.

Sun Bin asked Tian Ji to send a small number of troops to fight Pang Juan, and took the initiative to show weakness to the opponent, making Pang Juan think that Qi's fighting power was not enough.

really.

Pang Juan was fooled.

On the one hand, he believed that his Wei army was invincible, on the other hand, he also believed that Qi's combat effectiveness was only about this.

In order to protect the beam immediately, Pang Juan threw away his baggage and marched back to save the beam with light equipment.

But he didn't know that this move played into Sun Bin's plan.

After Pang Juan lost his luggage, Sun Bin asked Tian Ji to set up an ambush in Guiling.

Because Pang Juan does not have heavy equipment, his attack power is severely reduced.

In this battle, Tian Ji captured Pang Juan in one fell swoop.

But it's a pity.

Although the Battle of Guilin captured Pang Juan.

But Qi did not really attack Daliang, the capital of Wei.

On the other hand, Zhao State's Handan was still surrounded by Wei troops.

the following year.

King Wei Hui mobilized the Korean army to defeat the Qi, Song, and Wei forces that surrounded Xiangling. Qi asked General Jing She of Chu to mediate, and the countries ceased war. In 351 BC, King Hui of Wei and Marquis Cheng of Zhao formed an alliance by the Zhang River and withdrew from Handan, the capital of Zhao. At this time, Qi State released Pang Juan and returned him to Wei to become a general again.

The first battle Sun Bin participated in ended here.

"It's a pity that we couldn't completely defeat Wei."

"It's no pity. In the early Warring States period, the soldiers of Wei State were the most powerful soldiers in the world. Let alone Qi State, Qin State was beaten violently by Wei State."

"But this battle also showed Sun Bin's strength in surrounding Wei and rescuing Zhao. If Qi State was not as powerful as Wei State. Or if Qi State was really determined to attack Wei State, Wei State would definitely be seriously injured."

"There is no way. It is impossible for Qi to attack Wei with all its strength. There are so many countries in the Warring States Period, and every time one country is eliminated, other countries will benefit. You have defeated Wei so badly that other countries can reap the benefits. Besides, , Qi State is saving Zhao State, not really fighting with Wei State. Even if we really want to fight, Qi State may not be able to defeat Wei State. Once Wei State's troops come back from Handan and compete with you head-on, you will also There’s no benefit to be gained.”

"But this just proves the power of Sun Bin's military skills. He surrounded Wei and rescued Zhao, and directly captured Wei's general Pang Juan. This also put huge pressure on Wei, so even if Wei later asked South Korea for help and combined the Qi, Song, and Wei forces Defeated, but Wei still formed an alliance with Zhao in the end.”

"Well, Sun Bin's art of war is an inheritance from Sun Tzu's art of war. He who subdues the enemy without fighting is a good person. Although Sun Bin did not completely reach this point, his strategy of surrounding Wei and rescuing Zhao embodies this theory of art of war. .”

"Why do I feel like this kind of military theory can be applied in reality? For example, if it is placed in certain places in other countries, it might have miraculous effects..."

"Shh... don't talk nonsense..."

"Well, I shut up, I didn't say anything."

……

"Report, South Korea is asking our Qi country for help."

Sun Bin’s story is not finished yet. The Battle of Guilin did not really defeat the Wei State, and the Wei State was still very strong.

Ten years later.

Wei and South Korea were at war.

South Korea was defeated and asked Qi for help.

"Hey, aren't Wei and South Korea very good? Why are they fighting again?"

"It's so good. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there was no good or bad between any country and another country, only interests."

"Yes, just like Qin and Jin, I don't know how long they got better, but they also fought to the death in the end. Qin and Bichu have been married for dozens of generations, and they also fight back and forth. So, a group of people have been married to each other for dozens of generations. Countries that are allied this year may be at war tomorrow.”

Everyone commented from time to time.

"King Qi Wei agreed to South Korea's request for help, and then sent Tian Ji as the chief general, Tian Ying as the deputy general, and Sun Bin as the military advisor to lead the army to assist South Korea."

This time, it was still Sun Bin.

same.

Sun Bin still adopted the previous tactics of besieging Wei and rescuing Zhao.

If he wanted to save South Korea, he would not go to South Korea first, but instead go straight to Daliang, the capital of Wei State.

General Pang Juan had no choice but to return to Wei again.

the difference is.

This time Pang Juan learned his previous lessons and did not dare to be careless with Qi State, and fought steadily all the way.

Therefore, although Tian Ji led his troops to the capital of Wei this time, the Qi army did not benefit much from encountering Pang Juan.

even.

To make matters worse, there were several waves of deserters on the Qi army's side.

"Brother Boling, what do you think we should do next?"

Seeing that there were deserters again, General Tian Ji was extremely angry.

But it was useless for him to be angry.

Because it is a tradition for Qi soldiers to flee.

Qi State had fought wars with many countries before and could not win a battle, so running away was the norm.

As for the reason.

It can only be said that the people of Qi are too rich.

Yes.

Just too rich.

Among the many countries in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, who was the richest? It was Qi.

One reason is that Qi is an old vassal state.

They are also the first generation overlords.

On the other hand, people from Qi are good at doing business and know how to enjoy themselves.

one more.

The geographical location of Qi State is very good.

They are close to the sea to the east and have rich products.

Because of their geographical location, they are not attacked by other countries.

For example, Qin State.

The Qin State fought many countries with bloody blows, but rarely attacked the Qi State, mainly because it was too far away and could not be defeated.

Other countries do not want to fight Qi, mainly because they are surrounded by a large number of enemies. Qi people are more civilized, so it is not the time to fight with them.

Therefore, in the state of Qi, from the dignitaries to the common people, they all do not like to fight, but like to live and enjoy themselves.

But in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, how could there be any country that did not fight wars?

The people of Qi were forced to fight, so they developed the bad habit of fighting if they could win and running away if they couldn't.

There is nothing the generals of Qi can do about this.

Facing this at this time, Tian Ji was helpless.

But fortunately.

Only a small part escaped, which did not affect the combat effectiveness, but it greatly affected the morale of the entire unit.

Sun Bin was not worried when he saw this, and said to Tian Ji: "Since the deserter has fled, there is no point in being angry here. Instead of doing this, it is better to give Pang Juan another trick."

immediately.

Sun Bin asked Tian Ji to go deep to lure the enemy Pang Juan, and asked the Qi army to reduce the cooking stoves by a certain proportion every day.

On the first day, the Qi army had 10 stoves for cooking in Wei.

The next day, Sun Bin reduced the number of cooking stoves to 7.

On the third day, it was reduced to 5.

On the fourth day, it was reduced to 3.

Pang Juan led his troops to inspect Qi's cooking stoves and found that the Qi army's cooking stoves were decreasing every day, but more and more soldiers knew that Qi's soldiers were fleeing.

At the same time, he also knew that Qi Jun had a history of escaping.

Pang Juan even caught several waves of deserters.

Seeing this situation, Pang Juan thought that the Qi army did not have many troops left.

Then Pang Juan put the heavy troops behind and led the light cavalry to pursue the Qi army.

But he didn't expect it.

When Pang Juan arrived at Maling Road, because Maling Road was relatively narrow, Pang Juan planned to pass it when it was dark.

But he didn't expect that.

At this time, Sun Bin had already been ambushing here.

When Pang Juan led a large army through Maling Road, more than 10,000 crossbowmen fired thousands of arrows.

Pang Juan led his soldiers and horses to continuously break through the encirclement, and saw a white cloth with writing hanging on the tree in front.

Pang Juan lit the fire and checked, but found the words "Pang Juan died under this tree" written on it.

Pang Juan was extremely resentful, knowing that he had fallen into Sun Bin's scheme.

He was terrified and knew that the situation was over, so he committed suicide.

The Qi army took advantage of the victory and pursued it, annihilating hundreds of thousands of Wei soldiers, and captured Wei Crown Prince Shen.

After this battle, the Wei State, which was the first to dominate during the Warring States Period, quickly declined and never recovered.

With only two battles, Sun Bin became a god in one battle.

Later, in addition to inheriting the Sun family's art of war, Sun Bin also wrote Sun Bin's art of war based on his own experience.

This is another grandson in the Sun family.

"The weather, the right location, and the harmony of people, if you don't get these three, there will be disaster even if you win."

"The victory of an army lies in the selection of soldiers, its courage lies in its control, its skill lies in its power, its advantage lies in its trust, its virtue lies in its Tao, its wealth lies in its urgency to return, its strength lies in resting the people, and its damage lies in the number of battles."

"In ancient times, those who were good at fighting first tried to be invincible, then waited for the enemy to become victorious."

"Therefore, those who are good at fighting will know their weaknesses when they see their strengths; if they see their weaknesses, they will know what they have left."

on the stage.

After the Battle of Maling ended, Sun Bin, like his ancestor Sun Wu, retired to the mountains and forests and began to practice his "Sun Bin Art of War".

At the same time.

On the screen, part of Sun Bin's Art of War was clearly displayed.

Look at these secret records of the art of war.

Everyone quickly picked up their pens and took notes.

Some just pick up the camera or take screenshots.

at this moment.

But there was a voice inside them.

After learning these military techniques, maybe you can really dominate the world. (End of chapter)
