The first part of the Warring States History: The story of catching an assassin after Su Qin's death took place in Qi during the Warring States Period.
One evening in early summer, Su Qin was reading in his study. Suddenly, a black shadow flashed out of the window. Before Su Qin could scream, a masked man jumped in front of him, raised his sword and stabbed him in the chest. Su Qin screams? Help! Just fell on the chair. Suddenly, Su Qin's guards surrounded him from all sides. Before the assassin could mend the knife, he hurried back and jumped out of the window.
Su Qin was stabbed and immediately shocked the king of Qi. As soon as he heard the newspaper, he went to see Su Qin.
You know, Su Qin is a famous figure in the lofty world. During the Warring States period, Qin, Qi, Chu, Yan, Zhao, Han and Wei dominated, and Qin was the most powerful. Su Qin, a scholar in Luoyang, went to six countries other than Qin to lobby for joint resistance to Qin, so the six countries made him the prime minister. He lived in Yan for a long time and made many good plans, which were highly valued by the prince of Yan. Later, he went to the state of Qi, and the king of Qi trusted him very much. Many doctors in Qi argued with Su Qin and finally sent someone to assassinate him.
The King of Qi saw that Su Qin was seriously injured, and he said bitterly. I must catch the assassin and avenge my husband! ? Su Qin gasped and said? Your majesty, please don't kill people indiscriminately, but catch the real assassin! ? ? Did you see the characteristics of the assassin?
? He is masked and can't see clearly, except that he is tall. ?
? Why do you want an assassin alone? The king of Qi was very anxious. Su Qin said? I had a plan to talk about this, and I died.
Besides, when the King of Qi returned to the palace, some doctors who usually competed with Su Qin came to see him to see his attitude towards Su Qin's death.
The King of Qi said bitterly, I realized that Su Qin was a spy sent by Yan to subvert our country. Now we have to dismember him, so as to solve the hatred in my heart! ? The King of Qi immediately ordered Su Qin's head and limbs to be tied to five carriages respectively. At the command, five cars ran in five directions. Suddenly, Su Qin's body was divided into five parts. Just as the King of Qi was preparing to return to the palace, a man emerged from the crowd watching the dismemberment, claiming to be the assassin who killed the spy Su Qin. The king of Qi saw that he was tall and said, Tell me about the assassination process. If you really kill him, I will reward you. ?
The man narrated it again, which was consistent with the scene situation learned by the king of Qi. Knowing that this man was indeed an assassin, the King of Qi immediately ordered the assassin to be taken down, saying, How can you be a fugitive if I don't act according to Mr. Su Qin's last instructions? ?
The assassin knew that he had been cheated, so he drew his sword and stabbed the king of Qi. The guards around him jumped up and chopped him to pieces.
History of the Warring States Period Part II: When Sun Bin taught Tian Ji to race horses in the Warring States Period, Tian Ji, the general of the State of Qi, often bet on horse racing with the king of Qi and the nobles of the imperial court.
Bet 120 gold per game. Although he was all-powerful on the battlefield and made outstanding achievements, he repeatedly failed in the casino.
One evening, a travel-stained guest came to Tian Ji's home. Although he is wearing a dress, he is outstanding. His name is Sun Bin (author of Sun Bin's Art of War), and he has just escaped from Wei. At the banquet, the two men talked about the strategy and tactics of the engagement between the two armies. When it comes to fighting, Tian Ji is in high spirits, especially Sun Bin's wise talk and amazing strategy, which makes his blood boil. After three rounds of drinking, Tian Ji couldn't help thinking of horse racing, and his face was overcast. Sun Bin was puzzled and asked quickly. Dude, what's bothering you?
Tian Ji hesitated for a long time, and finally embarrassed to say the distress that has been suppressed in his heart. Sun Bin listened, thought for a moment, and said, it's not difficult. Next time, you'd better triple the bet. I promise you can win! ?
Tian Ji asked with a grain of salt. Dude, what's the trick?
Sun Bin seems to have a plan: Yes, you'll understand then, man, so you don't have to worry! ?
On that day, Tian Ji publicly bet 1000 two gold. The king of Qi and the nobles thought he was in a hurry and a little confused. They laughed:? He will lose even worse this time. Watch! ?
At that time, the horse racing method was: the contestants had to divide the horses into upper, middle and lower classes, and then compete in turn, with the upper class against the upper class, the middle class against the middle class and the lower class against the lower class. After the race, as long as your horse can be among the best twice, you will win.
It is said that although Tian Ji simply bet on the money that day, he still couldn't help worrying. If you lose again this time, that's fine.
At this moment, Sun Bin approached Tian Ji and whispered? Dude, don't worry. Let's go Give your bad horse to their excellent horse first, then give your excellent horse to their middle horse, and your middle horse will be used last, so they have to wait for the horse. Do you understand?
? Oh, dear! ? Hearing this, Tian Ji repeatedly patted his thigh. How come I never thought of this? Hurriedly told his men to make arrangements in this way.
As expected, Tian Ji won two games in a row, immediately flushed, and steadily took the 1000 gold from the King of Qi.
Soon, Tian Ji couldn't help telling the king the secret of his victory in the horse race. The King of Qi quickly told him to call Sun Bin. From then on, Sun Bin became a strategist of Qi State, and became famous after repeated battles and defeats on the battlefield, becoming one of the outstanding strategists in the history of China.
History of the Warring States Period Part III: After the story that Sun Bin cut firewood and led the enemy Sun Bin to rescue Zhao from Wei, 13 years passed quickly. Wei joined forces with Zhao to attack South Korea this time, and South Korea frequently turned to Qi for help. Qi Weiwang sent Tian Ji as the general and Sun Bin as the strategist to save North Korea.
Is there one in Tian Ji? Encircle Wei to save Zhao? Experienced and ready to use the plan again, thousands of chariots galloped out of the border of Qi. Tian Ji commanded Qi to quickly point to the beam of Wei, but Sun Bin asked Tian Ji to call the army to camp early.
Tian Ji asked? Counselor, how can you go to bed early?
Sun Bin said? Now Wei has just launched an attack on South Korea. If we rush to send troops to help, it will actually take the initial attack on Wei Jun instead of South Korea. We will not command and dispatch the Korean army, but let it command and dispatch. Therefore, it is not appropriate to attack Dewey's girder immediately. Only when Wei and Han fight against each other will we send troops to attack the girders, attack Wei Jun and save South Korea from danger, which will be more beneficial to us. ? So the Qi army dawdled on the road for more than a month before capturing the girder.
Seeing that the Qi army was calling, the King of Wei hurriedly ordered Pang Juan to return from South Korea to save Wei, and sent Prince Shen as the general to unite with Pang Juan to resist the Qi army with 65,438+10,000 troops. Sun Bin knew that Pang Juan's troops would arrive, so he offered Tian Ji? Reduce the stove to lure the enemy? The coup.
When the two armies in Wei Qi just met but didn't, Sun Bin ordered the troops to retreat. Pang Juan chased the headquarters of the Qi army, only to find that the ground was full of cooking stoves, and he quickly asked the soldiers to count them. According to the number of cooking stoves, Pang Juan estimated that the Qi army had 654.38+10,000 people. The Qi army retreated hastily for three consecutive days, but Pang Juan sent someone to count the stoves. The next day, he found that the number of stoves left by the Qi army was only enough for 50 thousand people to cook. On the third day, it was reduced to only 30 thousand people cooking. Pang Juan proudly said:? It has long been known that the Qi army is timid and afraid of death. Only three days after entering our country, most of the soldiers fled. ? So he left the infantry trench, took only light athletes, and pursued the Qi army day and night.
On this day, the Qi army retreated to Maling Road (now Shenxian County). Sun Bin sees narrow roads and many obstacles on both sides, which is very suitable for ambush. He calculated Pang Juan's itinerary and estimated that he would arrive here at dusk. He ordered the soldiers to cut down some trees to block the way, and chose a big tree. He cut off a large piece of skin from the trunk of the tree facing the road, revealing a smooth white tree, and then wrote a line of big black characters on it. Then, Sun Bin ordered ten thousand archers to ambush and said to them? When Wei Jun came, someone lit a fire under the tree, and all the arrows were fired at once. ?
Just after dark, Pang Juan really led the troops to Maling Road. When the soldiers moved the trees in the road, someone found the words on the roadside trees and reported them to Pang Juan. Pang Juan told the soldiers to light torches. It says. Pang Juan died under this tree? A few big words, I was shocked. At this time, the ambush of the Qi army was aimed at the fire, and the arrows rained down. Wei Jun was killed and wounded, and Pang Juan was shot and fell in a pool of blood. He knew that he had been cheated and would never get out again, so he had to draw his sword and commit suicide. The Qi army pursued them, captured Wang Wei Shen alive and completely defeated Wei Jun.
