Sun Bin's talent attracted Pang Juan's jealousy. As a result, Pang Juan set him up and dug out his kneecap. He pretended to be crazy and took the opportunity to escape from Wei and come to Qi. Through Tian Ji's early talent in horse racing, he put forward the strategy of encircling Wei to save Zhao, which easily solved the Zhao crisis, defeated it in the first battle with Pang Juan, and then defeated Pang Juanjun, and Pang Juan committed suicide. After Sun Bin came, Pang Juan gave a big banquet and treated him with great hospitality. A few days later, there was no news of Wei Huiwang, and Pang Juan didn't mention it. Sun Bin naturally inconvenience to ask more, so we have to wait patiently. After seeing Sun Bin, Pang Juan was insincere and warmly received. But Pang Juan forged letters and designed to frame Sun Bin. He slandered Sun Bin in front of him, saying that he had an affair with Qi. King Hui was so angry that he wanted to put Sun Bin to death. In order to defraud Sun Bin of the art of war, Pang Juan hypocritically pleaded with Wang Wei in front of his classmates and turned the death penalty into flogging. On this day, Sun Bin was so idle that he found a book to read. Suddenly, there was a noise outside the house. Before he knew what was going on, he was tied up by the soldiers who broke into the house and pushed to a place. An official immediately declared Sun Bin guilty of adultery and was ordered to be punished. Sun Bin was startled by this sudden thing, then realized it and defended himself loudly. However, it is too late. Too many cooks, the peak sexually soldier, took off Sun Bin's underwear, gouged out Sun Bin's kneecap, pricked his face with a needle, and then painted it with ink. Sun Bin became a basket case, living on Pang Juan every day, always feeling sorry for others. In order to repay Pang Juan's kindness, Sun Bin promised to recite the Art of War 13 and write it on a bamboo tube. Sun Bin copies hard every day. The boy servant who waited on him could not stand it any longer, so he told Sun Bin the truth. Until now, it suddenly dawned on Sun Bin that he saw the true face of Pang Juan and he really regretted it. Now under the control of Pang Juan, his knees are gone and his legs can't walk. Very sad. But Sun Bin is a man of extraordinary will, and he is not depressed. He buried his hatred deep in his heart. On the one hand, he skillfully dealt with Pang Juan, on the other hand, he was trying to find an opportunity to get rid of Pang Juan's surveillance as soon as possible, thinking that one day he would be free to gallop and avenge himself. He began to play the fool, burning the newly written military books one by one, crying, laughing and making all kinds of silly faces: spitting or screaming. The delivery man brought the food, but threw the bowl and rice far away. People were frightened and told Pang Juan about it at once. Pang Juan personally looked at it and saw Sun Bin's face was full of phlegm and saliva. Sometimes he fell down and laughed, and sometimes he burst into tears. Pang Juan was cunning by nature, worried that Sun Bin was crazy, so he ordered someone to drag him into the pigsty, and Sun Bin appeared and lay in the dung. Pang Juan is still dubious, but the supervision is much looser than before. Sun Bin talks nonsense all day, crying or laughing, wandering in the streets during the day and staying in the pigsty at night. A few days later, Pang Juancai believed that Sun Bin was really crazy. Later, Chunyu Kun was sent to visit Wei. Sun Bin took advantage of people unprepared, found a gap and secretly visited as a criminal. Judging from his conversation, Chunyu Kun admired him very much and promised to help him escape. In this way, Sun Bin hid in the car of Qi envoys and secretly returned to Qi. At this time, it is time for Wei Qi to strive for hegemony and struggle constantly. As early as 386 BC, the emerging landlord class, represented by Tian Guizu, carried out a series of social reforms after Qi came to power, selecting civil and military talents, sticking to the frontier and resisting foreign invasion. After Sun Bin returned to China, he soon met Tian Ji, the general of Qi State. Tian Ji appreciated Sun Bin's talent very much, so he left him in the mansion and treated him with the courtesy of receiving distinguished guests. Tian Ji likes horse racing, but he often loses. Once, he competed with Qi Weiwang in horse racing, and the horse ranked third, middle and bottom, and lost all three races. Tian Ji was very depressed. At this time, Sun Bin was present, so he gave Tian Ji an idea and said, "When you get on the horse against Ma Zhong, get off the horse against Ma Zhong and get off the horse against Wang Wei in the next round, you will definitely win." Tian Ji acted according to the plan, resulting in the advantage of two games and the disadvantage of one game, and got the daughter of the King of Qi with the result of one loss and two wins. Qi Weiwang, who has always won, unexpectedly lost this time. He asked Tian Ji why. Tian Ji called Sun Bin and took this opportunity to recommend him to Qi Weiwang. Qi Weiwang saw that he was a disabled person and his legs were tortured. At first, he didn't mind. When Sun Bin stated his views on war, Qi Weiwang deliberately asked, "In your opinion, can you conquer the world without using force?" Sun Bin decisively replied: "This is impossible. Only when you win will the world surrender. " Then, he listed the fact that the Yellow Emperor attacked Chiyou, Gonggong, Sanmiao and Zhou, indicating that all previous dynasties solved problems by force and achieved national reunification by war. This profound and original analysis greatly shocked Qi Weiwang. When asked about the art of war, Sun Bin gushed and answered like a stream. Qi Weiwang thinks that Sun Bin is really not simple. From then on, he was honored as "Mr." and regarded him as a teacher. In 354 BC, Pang Juan, the general of Wei State, sent 80,000 troops and besieged Handan, the capital of Zhao State. Unable to resist, Zhao sent messengers to Qi for help. Qi Weiwang wants to send Sun Bin as a general and lead his troops to help Zhao. Declined politely, Sun Bin said, "I am a disabled person who has been punished. It's not convenient to lead troops I'd better ask Dr. Tian to be a general. I will give you an idea from the side! " Qi Weiwang wanted to think, so he worshipped Tian Ji as a general and Sun Bin as a strategist, and sent his troops to save Zhao. As soon as the army came out, Tian Ji wanted to go straight to Handan and quickly solve the siege of Zhao. Sun Bin disapproved of this tactic of bashing head-on, and proposed to take advantage of the emptiness of Wei's domestic forces to send troops straight to the capital of Wei, forcing Wei Jun to rush to Zhao for rescue. This strategic thought of besieging the state of Wei to save Zhao would avoid the fatigue of the Qi army's long-distance attack, which caused Wei Jun to be passive and was immediately adopted by Tian Ji, leading the Qi army to kill the girder. Wei Jun managed to capture Handan, but the news came that the Qi army was besieged and the capital of Wei was in an emergency. Pang Juan didn't leave his army. Except for a few troops defending Handan, he was busy leading the army to help the girders. Unexpectedly, when I arrived in Guiling, I was surrounded by the Qi army. Wei Jun has been fighting hard for a long time, and its foot soldiers are tired. How can he fight the Qi army? Results were beaten out of the water, be defeated and flee, even the Lord Pang Juan was captured alive. Finally, Wei had to make peace with Qi and return it to Handan obediently. This is the famous battle of "encircling Wei to save Zhao" in history. In fact, it is also a heavy blow from Sun Bin to Pang Juan. But Sun Bin didn't kill Pang Juan. He just disciplined him and let him go. After the Battle of Guiling 10 years, that is, in 342 BC, Pang Juan led 65,438+10,000 troops and 1000 personnel carriers to attack South Korea in three ways. Small South Korea can't resist Pang Juan's attack. At that time, the situation was critical, so envoys were sent to Qi for help. Qi Weiwang called ministers to discuss countermeasures. Some advocate doing nothing, others advocate sending troops to rescue, and they are deadlocked. Sun Bin hasn't spoken. Qi Weiwang saw this and said, "Do you think these two opinions are wrong?" Sun Bin nodded and said, "Yes. I think Wei bullied the weak, and if South Korea is occupied, it will definitely be bad for Qi, so I don't agree with the idea of self-destruction. However, Wei is in full swing now. If we rush to send troops, won't we take the initial blow instead of the Korean army? " Qi Weiwang said, "Well, what should I do according to my husband's opinion?" Sun Bin said: "I think we can agree to the request of the ROK first. They know that we can send troops to save it, and we must fight against the invading Wei Jun with all our strength; After fierce fighting in Wei Jun, human and material resources will also be greatly consumed. At that time, we will send troops to attack the exhausted Wei Jun and save South Korea in danger, so that we can use less force, see more results, win easily and benefit a lot. I wonder what your majesty thinks? " Qi Weiwang appreciated Sun Bin's suggestion and immediately adopted it. Author: Yu Bing
