Hello everyone, I will tell you about the Battle of Guiling in this stop. You may not be clear about the Battle of Guiling, but the strategy used in the battle - besieging Wei and saving Zhao, is well known to women and children. The Battle of Guiling was also a strategic struggle between Wei general Pang Juan and Qi military division Sun Bin .

Warring States In the early years, Wei gradually became stronger through reforms, and once among the ranks of the great powers in the Central Plains. After Prince Hui of Wei ascended the throne, in order to achieve external expansion, he fought for years. Years of foreign wars made the Wei state weak, so King Hui changed his policy, actively befriended the three states of Qi, Han and Qin, and concentrated on dealing with the state of Qi. At this time, Qi State also rapidly became stronger through reforms. In order to compete in the Central Plains, Qi Wei Wang also actively fought against Wei with Han, Zhao and other countries.

In 354 BC, Zhao State Relying on the backing of Qi State, he openly attacked Wei State, forcing Wei State to surrender to Zhao State. And Wei State was originally a vassal state of Wei State, so Wei State absolutely could not tolerate Wei State returning to Zhao. So Pang Juan, the general of Wei State, was ordered to lead an army of 80,000 to attack the State of Zhao, and besiege Handan, the capital of the State of Zhao (now in Hebei). In the second year, Zhao State asked Qi State for help.

Qi Wei Wang Wei Wang worship Tian Ji is the main general,With Sun Bin as his military advisor, he led 80,000 elite soldiers to the front to rescue Zhao. At that time, the Wei and Zhao armies had been stalemate for more than a year, the Wei army suffered heavy losses, and the national capital, Handan, was at stake. Tian Ji wanted to directly lead his troops to Handan to attack the Wei army. However, Sun Sun Bin believed that the Wei State sent a large number of elite troops to attack Zhao, but the domestic troops were insufficient. If the Wei State attacked Xiangling (now Suixian County, Henan), the military center of the Wei State, the Wei Army would definitely withdraw from the State of Zhao and return to the rescue. This can not only relieve the siege of Zhao, but also make the Wei army tired and easy to set up an ambush. Tian Ji adopted Sun Bin's strategy and led an army south to join forces from Song and Wei to attack Xiangling of Wei State. Sun Bin first asked people who did not understand military affairs to attack Xiangling, but he failed. Pang Juan thought that the Qi army was insufficient, and continued to intensify the offensive against Handan. Therefore, Sun Bin used his elite troops to attack Daliang, the capital of Wei. At this time, Pang Juan had already led his army to capture Handan, and he hurried back to the division to rescue him. But because he underestimated the enemy, Pang Juan gave up the baggage and rushed back. Sun Bin expected that the Wei army would definitely pass through Guiling , so he suggested that Tian Ji send the main force to arrive there first to set up an ambush. When the Wei army arrived at Guiling, they were suddenly ambushed by the Qi army, and had to fight in haste, resulting in more than half of the casualties. Wei State's battle to destroy Zhao, which lasted for more than a year, also fell short. This war, known as the "Battle of Guiling" in history, was later summarized by Sun Bin as "surrounding Wei and saving Zhao".

What is the hatred between Sun Bin and Pang Juan?

Sun Bin is a descendant of Sun Wu , a famous Chinese military strategist and known as " soldier saint ". He was born in Qi. He and Pang Juan both learned the art of war from Guiguzi . At that time, Sun Bin and Pang Juan were very close, and the two agreed to share their blessings in the future. Pang Juan first went to school and became a general in Wei State. He was afraid that Sun Bin's talent would be higher than himself, and he was afraid that he would be used by other monarchs. So Pang Juan deceived Sun Bin to Wei, and punished him for treason by (dig out the kneecap ), hoping that he would never lead an army to fight. Even so, he was very strict with Sun Bin,Later, Sun Bin fled to the state of Qi through the envoy of the state of Qi, and was reused by King Wei of Qi.

As a general of Qi State, what deeds of Tian Ji have been passed down?

Tian Ji, the year of birth and death is unknown, the date of his birth and death is unknown, his fief is in Xuzhou (now south of Tengxian, Shandong), so he is also called Xuzhou sub-period . He was a famous general of Qi in the early Warring States Period. Tian Ji admired Sun Bin's military talents very much, and he recommended Sun Bin to King Wei of Qi. King Wei of Qi appointed Sun Bin as his military advisor. With the help of Sun Bin, Tian Ji won two famous battles - the battle of Guiling and the battle of Maling . However, because Tian Ji and Qi Xiang had always been at odds, he fled to the Chu State in the second year after the Battle of Maling, and was sealed in Jiangnan. King Xuan of Qi After he succeeded to the throne, he recalled Tian Ji to return to China to serve. Stories about Tian Ji and Tian Ji's horse racing have been passed down to this day. In the story, Tian Ji won the horse race with the help of Sun Bin.

Tian Ji adopted Sun Bin's strategy. Pang Juan really led his troops back to rescue Wei. When the Wei army arrived at Guiling, it was cut off by the Qi army's surprise attack, and the result was a disastrous defeat. Later, strategists called Sun Bin's strategy of avoiding the real and attacking the empty, and attacking him to save him as "surrounding Wei and saving Zhao". This tactic has also become a common tactic used in the military to lure the enemy into submission for more than two thousand years.
