Sun Wu, the word evergreen, is from Qi Le 'an. He was a famous strategist and politician in the Spring and Autumn Period, and was called "soldier saint" by later generations. Later generations respectfully called him Sun Tzu, Sun Wuzi, the teacher of immortal military strategists, the originator of eastern military science and so on. Sun Wu deserves these honors. According to Zuo Zhuan, Sun Wu's ancestor's surname was Ji, not Sun, and he was a descendant of his son in the Spring and Autumn Period. Sun Wu is a descendant of Wei nobles. His father Sun Shu and grandfather Sun Kui fled to Qi until they grew up.
Sun Wu loved reading since he was a child and had a strong interest in the art of war. Born into a noble family, superior living conditions provided him with a superior learning environment. He can read Zheng Jun, an ancient military classic, and learn about the fighting experiences and methods of ancient Yi Yin, Jiang Taigong and Guan Zhong. In addition, wars are frequent and merger wars are fierce. His grandfather and father are both generals who are good at leading troops to fight. Sun Wu is still a child. Every time my father came back from the front, Sun Wu would pester him to tell stories about his war. He came from a family of military commanders and was deeply influenced by Sun Tzu's Art of War. Wu soon mastered some fighting methods. Before Sun Wu officially led his troops to war, he went to Mengshan to study, roam the world and inspect the ancient battlefield. This rich experience of studying abroad has accumulated rich materials for Sun Wu to compile the Art of War in the future.
Later, Sun Wu came to the State of Wu and was highly valued by Wu Zixu. He thinks Sun Wu will make a difference. So Sun Wu took his art of war to see He Lv, the king of Wu. When he saw Sun Wu's elegant appearance, he didn't believe that he was a man who could fight, so in order to test Sun Wu, he was ordered to train the palace beauties in Sun Tzu's Art of War. This is the story of his grandson's legendary "Kung Fu teaches fighting and beheads Maggie". Sun divided the beautiful women into two teams, and the captains of the two teams were the two favorite concubines of the prince of Wu.
During the drill, Sun Wu had already agreed on the rules in advance, and the concubines actually wriggled with laughter after listening to them. At Sun Wu's command, none of the concubines obeyed, but they frolicked and even the formation of the team was chaotic. When Sun Tzu saw this situation, he called in the military history. According to the art of war, the two favorite concubines of the prince of Wu should be cut off. Neither of the two concubines believed that Sun would execute them, but Sun Wu's tone was full of firmness and he didn't mean to joke. When the king saw that his grandson was going to kill his concubine, he immediately explained, I already know that Sun Wu is a man who can fight. Don't kill my two concubines. Without them, my life will lose a lot of fun. Sun Tzu showed no mercy, claiming: "I will be in the army and my life will not be affected." So I killed two concubines. All the concubines were frightened. After Sun Wu solved the two disobedient captains, he beat gongs and drums again, so these concubines were much more obedient, all obeyed the rules and formed neatly. Sun Wu won the appreciation of the king of Wu by "teaching war to kill beautiful girls" and entrusted the military power to Sun Wu. Under the rule of Sun Wu, for a time, the military strength of Wu was very strong, and its army was very strong all over the world. His masterpiece Sun Tzu's Art of War is also famous for it.
