Encircling Wei to save Zhao: When Tian Ji and Sun Bin led the troops into the border of Wei and Zhao, Tian Ji tried to push Zhao Handan, but was stopped by Sun Bin, saying, "You can't fight with a clenched fist, and you can't take part in the war. To solve disputes, we must seize the key, take advantage of the situation and follow the trend. The two sides can naturally be separated by constraints. Now the elite of Wei has left this country, if I attack Wei directly. Pang Juan will return to Li to save him, and the siege of Handan will solve itself. If we ambush Pang Juan in the middle of the road again, his army will be defeated. Tian Ji followed the plan. " Sure enough, Wei Jun left Handan, was ambushed on his way back, and fought Qi in Guiling. Wei Bing traveled long distances, exhausted, and fled everywhere. Pang Juan reluctantly cleaned up the mess and returned to the girder. The division of the Qi army won a great victory, and Zhao Zhiwei was thus solved. This is the famous story of "encircling Wei to save Zhao" in history. Thirteen years later, Qi Weijun crossed the battlefield again, and Pang was ambushed by Sun Bin, knowing that he was mentally poor and defeated. Sun Bin became famous in this name and spread his art of war.
