Coach Tian Ji Horse Racing.
On one occasion, the State of Qi sent envoys to the State of Wei, and Sun Bin met the envoys secretly as a prisoner. The envoys of Qi thought he was a wizard and secretly shipped him back to Qi. Tian Ji, the general of Qi State, treated him with great courtesy. Tian Ji often gambles with the princes and children of Qi, and the gambling money is very high. He said to Tian Ji, "The general gambled heavily this time. I can let the general win." Tian Ji trusted him so much that he gambled. Sun Bin said, "You use your bad horse and Qi Weiwang's first-class Marseille, your first-class horse and his middle Marseille, and his middle Marseille." As a result, you won a lot of money from Qi Weiwang. In the previous competition, Tian Ji lost to Qi Weiwang. This time, Qi Weiwang was surprised that Tian Ji suddenly won himself, so he asked him what method he used. Tian Ji took the opportunity to recommend Sun Bin to Qi Weiwang, and Qi Weiwang told Sun Wei.
Battle of Guilin
In 353 BC, Wei sent Pang Juan to besiege Handan (now Hebei), the capital of Zhao, and Zhao asked Qi for help. Qi sent Tian Ji as the general and Sun Bin as the strategist to save Zhao. Tian Ji's opinion is to lead the army to Handan, but Sun Bin said: "Those who want to solve the chaos will not pull; People who want to discourage others from fighting will not take part in the fight. Avoid its power, directly attack its empty parts, and use the situation to force them to stop, and naturally solve it. Now that Wei and Zhao are at war, elite troops are bound to fight outside, and those who stay at home are old, weak and disabled. The general might as well lead the army to attack the girder of Weidu directly. Then Wei must withdraw his troops to save himself. In this way, you can solve the siege of Zhao in one fell swoop and enjoy the benefits of Wei's tired teacher. " Tian Ji took his advice, and Wei really withdrew from Handan and came back to save Liang. The Qi army ambushed and intercepted Guilin (now northwest of Henan placanticline), where Pang Juan had to return to Li. Tian Ji followed his advice, and Wei Jun was defeated. "Encircling Wei to save Zhao" has become a crucial task and a passive one.
Maling campaign
In 369 BC, Wei and Zhao jointly attacked South Korea. South Korea turned to Qi for help. With Tian Ji, Tian Ying and Sun Bin as generals and military advisers, the State of Qi still took the tactics of taking him by surprise and saving him from death, and led the army straight for the girder, forcing Wei Jun to rescue him. Different from the Battle of Guiling, Wei took Prince Shen as the general and Pang Juan as the general, leading 65,438+10,000 troops. But also determined the strategic intention of annexing Junan by taking advantage of the situation. Sun Bin thought that Wei Jun was brave and despised Qi Bing, so he should take advantage of the situation and avoid war by showing weakness. So take the method of withdrawing troops and reducing kitchen, and lure Wei Jun to pursue. Pang Juan really gets the recruit and leads the army in pursuit. Later, he saw that the Qi army reduced the kitchen day by day. More importantly, he thought that the Qi army was fleeing and downsizing, so he simply left the infantry and chased after it with a light car and a sharp ride. Qi army lured him to Shandong so far. Suitable for ambush. After a long-distance pursuit of exhausted Wei Jun entered the Qi ambush zone, the Qi army was shot by an arrow, Wei army was in chaos, and Pang Juanzhi was defeated by poor soldiers and committed suicide.
