Chapter 261: Sun Bin appears
In 360 BC, in the ninth year of King Xian of Zhou, under the threat and persecution of Wei, Zhao and Han had to agree to an alliance with it and attack Qi.
Zhao and South Korea, like some countries in Western Europe today, were kidnapped by the United States. They were reluctant to fight, but under the persecution of Wei, they had to fight. If you don't ally with him, he will come against you. In desperation, Zhao and Han had to agree to Wei and attack Qi together.
The relationship between Wei, Zhao and Korea is the same as the relationship between rice, yin and valve in today's society. It's like wearing a pair of pants, but not exactly. If you find their weak underbelly, you can break them all.
Prior to this, Zhao and Korea were also forced by Wei many times to form an alliance and attack Qin.
At the time of the horse purchase, the state of Zhao reached agreements with the states of Qi, Korea, and Chu. But! Under the powerful military threat of Wei, the agreement had to be torn up. There is no way, you don't have a strong military to protect your country, everything you say is a fart!
Wei and Qi are not bordering, and they can't transport troops without bordering, so how can they fight? So! The attack of the State of Wei on the State of Qi was a joke in itself. This kind of fighting is aggression in itself. So! Wei wanted to find a reason to uphold justice as a Pacific policeman.
A person who is unrighteous in himself will have justice at all. But in the society at that time, force was justice. As in the modern international community, force is justice. The military of the United States is strong, and they have the final say.
So! Justice, morality, and so on all deceive the weak. It's only when you're on the big side that you know it's all a lie.
If you want to have justice, you must first have power and force.
Wei first forced Zhao to wage battle against Qi, and they supported it. The reason is: Linyi, a merchant of Qi State, burned Zhao Guo's house and burned two people to death.
In fact! The fire was not set by Qi State merchant Jia Linyi, and it has nothing to do with Linyi Mao. There is no evidence for the two people who died, and it is completely a lie fabricated by the Wei State. Only the death of people can aggravate the reason for sending troops.
If you want to add sin, there is no excuse! That's it! If you want to clean you up, you can find a reason.
Zhao was forced to have no choice, so he had to follow what Wei said and gave Qi a war letter. But! Behind the scenes, he sent an envoy to explain the reason.
It's not that our Zhao State is unreasonable, it's the Wei State that persecuted it. There is no way, our Zhao State can only be pretending, and if we can not fight, we will not fight. We do not want to go to war, and we are willing to maintain friendship with your country.
This time! Zhao secretly sold Wei State.
It is precisely for this reason that the war between Zhao and Qi did not start in the end.
Afterward! There was a Linyi murder incident, and Wei found a reason again. This time! He didn't count on Zhao anymore, and personally went out to wage war against Qi.
Because they did not share borders, Wei had to have Zhao, Korea, and Wei as allies to send wars to Qi. Otherwise! The troops could not be transported. Alone in the depths, the result is very miserable.
So! Wei pulled Zhao and Korea, Wei and other countries together to form an alliance.
Because Zhao did something "sorry" for Wei, he did not start a war against Qi. In addition, Linyi burned Zhao Guo's house and burned people to death. So I couldn't shirk it, so I had to agree to the alliance. And South Korea is only passively involved. Wei Guo was even more helpless, so he had to open the country and let the armies of Wei and Zhao pass through his own territory.
At last! The only ones who really participated in the war were Zhao and Wei. Wei Guo provided the land, plus logistical support, and did not send troops. South Korea, on the other hand, is just putting on a show and is not actually participating.
Because Zhao Guo was unwilling to fight and did not actively cooperate. So! This war against the Qi country will end in the end.
Wei Guo saw that he couldn't take advantage of it, and it cost a lot of money, so he found a reason to withdraw his troops.
Furthermore! Wei didn't want to do anything about Qi State, just accept it when it was good, give some color to Qi State, and show it to Qi State, just show its status as a military power.
Wei Guo means: If I want to beat you, I will beat you! What's wrong? I don't want to hit you anymore, I don't want to hit you, what's the matter? Defy? Don't you want to beat me?
Another reason why Pang Juan of Wei took the initiative to give up attacking Qi was that Pang Juan's old classmate Sun Bin showed his talent in Wei and suppressed him. Outcome! aroused Pang Juan's jealousy. Pang Juan was afraid of losing his status and did not dare to attack Qi again, so as not to be robbed of his job and status by his old classmate Sun Bin.
At this time, Sun Bin was not called Sun Bin yet, and the name Sun Bin was only honored as Sun Bin after he was punished by Pang Juan, and after he became famous. In fact! It is also a shame for Pang Juan. Meaning: You Pang Juan is jealous of other people's talents and tortures others. And the result! You're still losing to your opponent.
Of course! It is also an encouragement to the world. Sun Bin was tortured, but still defeated his opponent. This is a spirit that the world can learn from. So! Honorifically call him Sun Bin.
There is also a possibility: Sun Bin is a descendant of Sun Wu. Sun Wu is already called Sun Tzu, so Sun Bin can no longer be called Sun Tzu, and can only give him another honorific title. Since he is famous because he was tortured, let's call him Sun Bin!
Pang Juan led a large army to attack the Qi State, and King Wei Hui was very concerned about success or failure. But because the transmission of information in ancient times was too slow, he couldn't know what the situation was on the battlefield in time. Hearing that Pang Juan's classmate Sun Bin was living in Pang Juan's house, King Wei Hui invited Sun Bin over.
In the past, King Wei Hui heard that Sun Bin was also a talent, so he wanted to reuse it. But! was stopped by Pang Juan.
"Since you're a classmate of the general, you must be very talented, right?" King Wei Hui asked quietly.
King Wei Hui received Sun Bin in the study, and the situation was very grand on the surface. For this young man, because it was the first time they met, he was not easy to evaluate. So! On the surface, it is very respectful.
King Wei Hui treats anyone like this, and when he doesn't know you yet, his views and practices towards you are normal. Once you get in touch and communicate, and find that you don't have any hanging skills, his attitude will change.
So! The first time he received Sun Bin, King Wei Hui had great respect for this young man.
Sun Bin kowtowed to King Wei Hui and replied: "Sun is not as good as Senior Brother, Senior Brother has won so many battles over the years, and he is more refined than before, where does Sun dare to compare with Senior Brother?" ”
"Hmmm! Uh-huh, uh-huh...... "King Wei Hui first snorted, and then turned into a fake cough. In fact! He was giving Sun Bin a hint: You kid! You're wrong! Did your brother compare the cow? Is it a widow? Without a widow, can he compare with Pang Juan?
Sun Bin had a premonition of something, and hurriedly said: "Senior brother is a military talent, but! ……”
"But what?" King Wei Hui interrupted impatiently.
At this moment, his heart beat a little.
I thought: What does this junior brother of Pang Juan want to do? Does he want to speak ill of his brother? Hey! If so! The widow has looked down on you two brothers and sisters.
"Senior brother met Wei Jun, so he has a place to display his talents!" Sun Bin said.
"Oh? Hahaha! When King Wei Hui heard this, he laughed with satisfaction.
I thought: this young man is not stupid! Can also talk! Treat me like a king! Well! Very good!
Next! King Wei Hui tried again. Sun Bin replied, he was very satisfied.
I thought: Guiguzi is really a great talent in the world! It's a pity! Such a talented person is not born, but lives in seclusion in the ravine. If Guiguzi is invited out of such a big place, the Wei State will only become stronger! But! Now his two genius disciples are in my Wei State, and if they are used by me, the Wei State will definitely be strong!
