Chapter 12: Sun Tzu
At this moment, Shen Liang didn't know where to fight a field battle and returned to the barracks, and saw that the fungus and the text were closing their eyes and recuperating as if muttering something, Shen Liang said, "You two haven't digested it yet?" ”
The stipe and the text said, "It's been done a long time ago, we figured it out." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”
When Shen Liang heard this, he couldn't help but say, "Now that I have figured it out, then I will tell you about a legendary figure next." ”
The fungus couldn't help but say, "Is it a powerful person who can kill more than a hundred?" ”
Shen Liang laughed and said, "No, he is a figure who can fight tens of millions of people." ”
At this moment, Zhengwen laughed a few times and said, "This person must be amazing." ”
Shen Liang continued: "Of course, this person is Sun Bin, but he is the originator of the art of war. ”
The text immediately asked: "Can the general make it clearer." ”
Shen Liang immediately opened his mouth and said: "Sun Bin - Sun Bin planned, at the beginning, Tian Ji planned to go to Handan to fight a decisive battle with the main force of the Wei army and solve the siege of Handan. However, Sun Bin believed that this was not conducive to the Qi State, so he proposed more innovative and feasible methods, namely "criticizing the hypothesis" and "speeding away". "Criticizing and attacking the weak" means avoiding the real and attacking the weak, attacking it will save it, so that the enemy will have to worry about the future, and the siege of the front line will be automatically lifted. "Rushing to the Great Beam" is to attack the heavy city of Wei with lightning speed, in order to cut off the transportation arteries of Wei and attack its unpreparedness. In this way, the Wei army will definitely return to the division to save itself, and the Qi army can take advantage of its exhaustion to defeat the Wei army in one fell swoop, and the siege of Zhao will be automatically lifted. led to Pang Juan's plan, and Sun Bin's trick of "criticizing and making trouble" made Tian Ji very convinced and immediately adopted. So the main force of the Qi army immediately advanced towards Daliang. At this critical moment of survival, although Handan City had been breached, the Wei army still had to stay in Handan with only a small number of troops, and the main force led by the commander Pang Juan himself returned to Daliang. At the same time, however, the Qi army had set up an ambush in Guiling (present-day northeast of Heze, Shandong) to intercept the Wei army. Due to the long-term fighting abroad, the Wei army was exhausted, and the rapid march of the long distance made the soldiers lose their fighting spirit. So as soon as Qi and Wei fought, the Wei army was defeated, and Pang Juan, the commander of the Wei army, was captured alive, but Sun Bin, who had a grudge against him, let him go this time. As a result, the siege of Zhao was lifted, and Handan was also lost. Because the trick of "criticizing and making trouble" was fully used in the Battle of Guiling, later generations called this strategy "encircling Wei to save Zhao".
After Sun Bin moved his capital to Liang --- King Wei Hui, the monarch of Wei State, he competed with Qi for the Central Plains. King Qi Wei tried his best to win over Han and Zhao and confront Wei. In the fifteenth year of King Xian of Zhou, the state of Zhao, with the support of the state of Qi, forced the state of Wei, which was subordinated to Wei, to submit to Zhao. King Wei Hui sent his general Pang Juan to lead 80,000 troops to attack Zhao and besiege Handan, the capital of Zhao. The following year, Zhao asked Qi for help, Qi took Tian Ji as the main general, Sun Bin as the military advisor, and led 80,000 troops to save Zhao. Tian Ji tried to lead the army to Zhao to attack the main force of the Wei army to relieve the siege of Zhao, but Sun Bin believed that Wei had attacked Zhao for a long time, the main force was consumed outside, and the old and weak were tired inside. Tian Ji adopted Sun Bin's strategy of besieging Wei to save Zhao, and went south with a force to unite the Song and Wei armies to besiege Xiangling of Weiyi, which was located in the southeast of Daliang, showing that the Qi army had attacked Wei to save Zhao and strengthened Zhao's determination to resist Wei; The main force advanced to the vicinity of Pingling, an important military town to the east of Daliang. Because Pingling was not easy to capture, and the Qi army was in danger of being cut off from the grain route, the Wei army had the illusion that the Qi army was incompetent in command, and the Qi army successfully concealed its subsequent attempt to march into Daliang.
The Qi army concealed the main force, and sent the doctors of Qi Cheng and Gaotang Erduyi, who did not understand military affairs, to lead a division to attack Lingcheng, but the soldiers were defeated and killed, which made Pang Juan think that the Qi army was weak in combat and did not take it seriously. When Handan City was broken, the Wei army was also greatly damaged. Tian Ji and Sun Bin sent light vehicles to attack the outskirts of Daliang City, and the main force followed up by separate routes, creating the illusion of weak troops. Tian Ji and Sun Bin judged that the Wei army must pass through Guiling to return to the division, that is, they led the main force to arrive at the place in advance. When the Wei army entered Guiling, it was suddenly intercepted by the Qi army, and the battle was rushed to the battle, and finally suffered a heavy defeat, and Pang Juan was captured.
Sun Bin
Wei's defeat was the correctness of Qi's strategic policy and the high time of Sun Bin's operational command. Strategically, seize the favorable opportunity: In terms of operational command, we can correctly analyze the situation in which the enemy is strong and we are weak, choose appropriate combat methods, attack the enemy's key point and empty beams, and then take the opportunity to fight a beautiful attack battle. In addition, Tian Ji listened to opinions with an open mind. Being good is also a prerequisite for victory. As for the final defeat of the Wei army, it also lay in the strategic failure to grasp the movement.
The reason for the defeat of the Wei army
1) The commander of the unified army did not anticipate the future crisis enough, and did not judge the enemy's next move when the enemy attacked a non-main city, and the domestic army was empty.
2) The enemy is unknown, and he rashly pursues without a clear investigation, and goes deep alone.
The reason for the victory of the Qi army
1) Sun Bin calmly analyzed the situation on the battlefield at that time, and directly sent troops to attack the Wei army could not cause great losses to Wei. And encircling Wei to save Zhao can kill two birds with one stone.
2) Abandon small profits and lure the enemy deeper.
Edit this paragraph's review
During the Warring States period of China, the Qi army penetrated deep into the Wei region, forcing the Wei army attacking Zhao to come back and annihilate it in a volley battle in Guiling. In the fifteenth year of King Xian of Zhou, King Wei Hui sent the general Pang Juan to lead 80,000 troops to attack and defend Zhao and besiege Handan, the capital of Zhao. The following year, Zhao asked Qi for help, Qi took Tian Ji as the main general, Sun Bin as the military advisor, and led 80,000 troops to save Zhao. Tian Ji attempted to lead his army to Zhao to attack the main force of the Wei army in order to relieve the siege of Zhao. Sun Bin believed that Wei had been attacking Zhao for a long time, the main force was consumed outside, and the old and weak were exhausted inside, so the Qi army should take advantage of the emptiness of Wei's domestic defense and go straight to the main beam, forcing the Wei army to return to the division to save itself, and intercept on the way back, so as to achieve the goal of both rescuing Zhao and attacking Wei. Tian Ji adopted Sun Bin's strategy to surround Wei and save Zhao. Pang Juan really fell for the plan and returned to his division to save Wei. The Wei army entered Guiling and was suddenly intercepted by the Qi army, and responded to the battle in a hurry, and finally suffered a crushing defeat, and Pang Juan was captured. Later military strategists praised the tactics created by Sun Bin in this battle to avoid the real and attack the false, and attack it to save the enemy, as the tactics of encircling Wei and saving Zhao, which became a common military means to lure the enemy into submission for more than 2,000 years.
It was this battle that inflicted heavy losses on the Wei army and weakened the prestige of the Wei state in terms of hegemony. It also improved the prestige of the Qi State.
Qi's resounding victory at the Battle of Guiling, especially the subsequent Battle of Maling, fundamentally weakened Wei's military strength. Since then, the Wei state has gone downhill step by step and lost the hegemony of the Central Plains. The state of Qi took advantage of the power of victory, and its power developed rapidly, becoming one of the most powerful countries at that time
In his early years, Sun Bin learned the art of war with Pang Juan from Guiguzi. He studied diligently, studied hard, and was gifted and intelligent, and soon acquired a wealth of military knowledge, and before he could get out of the house, he showed superhuman military talent, so that it aroused the jealousy of Pang Juan, who studied with him.
Later, Pang Juan was hired by King Wei Hui to serve as the general and military advisor of Wei, although the spring breeze was proud, but when he thought of Sun Bin who was on his own, he was deeply disturbed. Therefore, Pang Juan secretly sent someone to invite Sun Bin to Wei and pretended to recommend it to King Wei Hui, but actually tried to harm him. Sun Bin arrived in Wei and became a nameless and powerless guest. At this time, Pang Juan stepped up his conspiracy to frame Sun Bin. He first sent someone to pretend to be entrusted by Sun Bin's cousin to persuade Sun Bin to return to Qi. After deceiving Sun Bin's handwritten reply, he altered it, and then falsely accused Sun Bin of fornicating with Qi to the King of Wei. The king of Wei was furious and ordered Sun Bin to be executed. In order to steal Sun Bin's book on the art of war, Pang Juan pretended to intercede with King Wei in front of Sun Bin. As a result, "his feet were cut off and he was killed". Later, Sun Bin learned the inside story from a messenger, and suddenly realized, so he burned the bamboo slips of the art of war that he was writing for Pang Juan, pretended to be crazy and stupid, and looked for a chance to escape from the tiger's mouth.
One day, the doctor of Qi sent an envoy to Wei. Sun Bin managed to meet him secretly and tell him about his tragic experience in Wei. Chun Yuji knew that Sun Bin was a talented person, so he secretly hid him in the car and brought him back to Qi. Since then, Sun Bin's bad luck has changed. Sun Bin returned to Qi and first lived in seclusion under the curtain of the Qi general Tian Ji. Tian Ji found that he was a man who was proficient in the art of war and resourceful, so he valued him very much. At that time, the monarch of the Qi State was very fond of horse racing, and often bet on winning or losing horse races with the nobles, and the bets were very large. Tian Ji also raised a lot of good horses at home, but every time he competed, he always lost. Once, Sun Bin went to see a horse race. He saw that although Tian Ji lost every game, as far as the horse was concerned, the difference between the two sides was not too big. So, he said to Tian Ji: "Next time you race horses, you just have to make a big bet, I have a way to make you win." When it was time for the next horse race, Tian Ji made a big bet of three thousand taels of gold, one thousand taels per game. Before the race, Sun Bin taught Tian Ji to say: "This time, you will definitely win if you go to the inferior horse to compete with the superior horse of the King of Qi, use the superior horse to compete with the middle horse of the King of Qi, and use the medium horse to compete with the inferior horse of the King of Qi." After three games, Tian Ji really won King Qi with two wins and one loss. When Tian Ji told King Wei the reason for this victory, King Wei immediately summoned Sun Bin. King Qi Wei and Sun Bin talked about the art of war, and Sun Bin really spoke the first word, and the answer was fluent. So King Wei appointed him as the military advisor of the Qi State. Sun Bin became the first teacher of Qi, and his ambitions and talents were fully utilized. ”
When Shen Liang finished saying this, the fungus and the text didn't come back to their senses for a long time, and they couldn't let go for a long time.
Shen Liang shook his hand in front of the two of them and said, "What's wrong with the two of you?" ”
The fungus came back to his senses and said, "I even think that this broken leg and still participate in this war can be described as a big husband. ”
Shen Liang nodded and said, "Indeed, the other party is indeed a real husband. ”
At this moment, Shen Liang looked at the hour and said, "It's strange that it's already three poles today, why don't you feel hungry at all!" ”
At this moment, the stipe and the text smiled stupidly and said, "Maybe it's too serious, so I don't feel hungry!" (To be continued.) )
