Originally, both Pang Juan and Sun Bin learned their skills under the sect of a generation of strange people, Guiguzi. Later, Pang Juan first went down to the Wei State to enter politics. But he felt that Sun Bin's talents were higher than his own, perhaps out of jealousy, so he sent someone to induce Sun Bin to go down the mountain and invite him to Wei Guo. When Sun Bin arrived in the Wei state, Pang Juan, then general of the Wei state, chopped off his feet and tattooed on his face, in an attempt to make him fall for it, thereby burying his talent and not being The world knows.
Although Sun Bin could not walk on the ground and had shame marks on his face, he did not give up on himself, but wanted to show his fists. One day, the envoy of Qi State visited Wei. After he learned the news, he tried every means to contact the envoy of Qi State. The messenger saw that he was extraordinary and he would do great things in the future, so he secretly carried Sun Bin back to Qi in a car. Soon, the talented man was appreciated by Qi State General Tian Ji and became his disciple. In the famous "Tian Ji Horse Racing", he was a blockbuster, so he was reused by King Qi Wei.
In 354 BC, the State of Zhao sent troops to attack Wei's ally, Wei Guo, and occupied several cities. Subsequently, Wei sent troops to surround Handan, the capital of the State of Zhao. In desperation, Zhao Guo asked Qi and Chu for help. King Qi Wei summoned his ministers to discuss countermeasures, and finally adopted Duan Ganpeng’s suggestion. Sending troops to attack Xiangling of Wei State fatigued the Wei Army. When the Wei Army captured Handan, he rescued the State of Zhao. This would weaken the strength of both Wei and Zhao. Can rescue Zhao Guo, killing two birds with one stone.
Therefore, King Qi Wei ordered the soldiers to be divided into two groups, attacking Xiangling all the way, and rescue Zhao Guo with soldiers headed by Tian Ji and Sun Bin all the way. At this time, Handan had fallen, and Pang Juan led an army of 80,000 Wei troops to attack the country. Sun Bin and Tian Ji led an army of 80,000 to the border area between Qi State and Wei State. Tian Ji wanted to directly compete with the main force of Wei Jun, but was stopped by Sun Bin. He believes that Wei has been fighting outside, and the country must have neglected to prevent it. It should attack the west, besiege Wei, and force Wei to withdraw its troops to rescue Zhao. Tian Ji accepted his suggestion, and the two conspired to make Pang Juan mistakenly believe that Qi Jun’s commander was incompetent, making Pang Juan take it lightly and attack Qi Jun. Sure enough, Pang Juan was fooled. Sun Bin led the main force to ambush in Guiling ahead of time, and captured Pang Juan in one fell swoop, known as the Battle of Guiling.
However, the main force of the Wei army was not defeated in this battle, and the State of Qi did not formally attack the capital of the State of Wei. Handan was still occupied by the State of Wei. In 352 BC, King Wei called the South Korean army and defeated the Qi, Song, and Wei coalition forces that surrounded Xiangling. Qi Guo had to ask Chu State General Jing She to come forward to mediate, and the countries truce. The following year, Pang Juan was released back to Wei State.
In 342 BC, South Korea, which was attacked by the State of Wei, asked for help from the State of Qi. Sun Bin once again attacked the capital beam of the State of Wei with the tactics of "surrounding Wei and saving Zhao". After Pang Juan learned of the incident, he immediately withdrew his troops from South Korea and returned to aid. He wanted to defeat Sun Bin head-on and was ashamed. However, by this time Sun Bin had already marched westward. Sun Bin combined the actual situation and decided to lure the enemy into deep, and after Wei Jun entered the encirclement, he would wipe them out in one fell swoop.
Unexpectedly, Pang Juan would be hit again, abandoning the infantry, and chasing the Qi army with only elite cavalry. Sun Bin estimated that when he arrived in Ma Ling, he took advantage of the terrain to strip the bark of the big trees on both sides of the road to expose the white wood, and then engraved the words "Pang Juan died under this tree" on the tree, and then let 10,000 yuan. A number of crossbowmen lay in ambush on both sides of the road. As soon as Pang Juan saw the words on the tree, he was furious. Before he had time to cut down the tree, the Qi army ambushing here sent all arrows, causing the Wei army to be in chaos.
Knowing that the defeat is set, Pang Juan drew his sword and killed himself. After that, one hundred thousand Wei army was annihilated, and its leader was captured. Wei was greatly injured, and Qi replaced it as the new overlord. I have to say that Sun Bin's method of revenge is very clever. Not only forced Pang Juan to commit suicide, but also severely injured the State of Wei, where he once worked.
