2. Avoid three houses: During the Spring and Autumn Period, there was civil strife in Jin State, and Jin Xiangong's son Zhong Er fled to Chu State. King Chu Cheng took him in and entertained him. He promised that if there was a war in Chu Jin, the Jin army would retreat from three houses (one in Sanli). Later, Zhong Er returned to the State of Jin with the help of Qin Mugong. The state of Jin supported the struggle between Song and Chu, and the two armies met in Chengpu. Zhong Er avoided, lured the enemy in and won.
3. Stealing symbols to save Zhao: During the Warring States Period, the State of Qin sent troops to besiege Handan, the capital of Zhao. Zhao asked Wei for help, and Wei sent troops to save Zhao. When Qin heard that Wei sent troops to save Zhao, he sent people to Wei to threaten Wang Wei. Wang Wei gave in to Qin and ordered those who went to save Zhao to stay where they were. So he wrote to Xin, the son of Wei State, for help. Xinlingjun once avenged Wang Wei's favorite concubine, such as Ji, for killing his father. Xinlingjun let Ruji steal the art of war from Wang Wei, thus seizing the military power, leading tens of thousands of soldiers to Handan, defeating Qin Jun and solving the siege of Handan.
4. Horse racing in Tian Ji. Tian Ji often raced with the sons of Qi State and made huge bets. Sun Bin found that their horses were all about the same strength, and the horses were divided into upper, middle and lower grades. He said to Tian Ji, "You bet big, and I can let you win." Tian Ji, promised him, and the king of qi and your childe made a bet. The game is about to start. Sun Bin said, "Now deal with their superior horse with your inferior horse, their middle horse with your superior horse, and their inferior horse with your middle horse." After three games, Tian Ji lost one game and won two games. Finally, he won a bet with the daughter of the King of Qi. So Tian Ji recommended Sun Bin to Qi Weiwang. Qi Weiwang asked him about the art of war, so he regarded him as a teacher.
5. Borrowing an arrow from a straw boat: During the Three Kingdoms period, Cao Cao led an army to conquer Dongwu, and Sun Quan and Liu Bei jointly resisted Cao Cao. There was a general named Zhou Yu under Sun Quan, who was clever and brave, but narrow-minded and jealous of Zhuge Liang's talent. Because the water war needs arrows, Zhou Yu asked Zhuge Liang to build 100 thousand arrows in ten days, but Zhuge Liang only needed three days, and he was willing to issue a military order, and he was willing to be punished if he failed to complete the task. Zhou Yu thought it was impossible to build 100,000 arrows in three days, and he just took this opportunity to get rid of Zhuge Liang. So on the one hand, he told military craftsmen not to prepare all the materials for making arrows, and on the other hand, he told minister Lu Su to inquire about Zhuge Liang's reality. Lu Su met Zhuge Liang. Zhuge Liang said, "Please help me with this. I hope you can lend me 20 boats, each with 30 sergeants. The boat should be covered with green cloth, and more than 1000 straw handles should be arranged on both sides of the boat. However, Zhou Yu must not know about this matter. " Lu Su agreed and prepared everything according to Zhuge Liang's request. Two days passed, but nothing happened. On the third day, at four o'clock, Zhuge Liang secretly let Lu Su get on the boat with him, saying that he would go to get the arrow together. Lu Su wondered. Zhuge Liang ordered the ropes on the ship to be connected and rushed to the other side. There was fog on the river that day, and there was no one on the other side. When the boat approached the water village in Cao Jun, Zhuge Liang ordered the boat to be set aside and let the soldiers beat drums and shout. Thinking that the other side was coming to attack, Cao Cao was afraid of being ambushed in the fog, so he sent six thousand archers to shoot arrows into the river, and the arrows rained down on the straw handle. After a while, Zhuge Liang ordered the ship to turn around and let the other side get an arrow. When the sun comes out, the fog will disperse. Zhuge Liang ordered the ship to return quickly. At this time, the grass handles on both sides of the ship were densely covered with arrows, and each ship had at least five or six thousand, totaling hundreds of thousands. When Lu Su told Zhou Yu the story of borrowing an arrow, Zhou Yu sighed, "Zhuge Liang has a clever plan, but I am not as good as him."
