Tian Ji, the general of Qi, likes horse racing very much. Once, he and Qi Weiwang agreed to have a race. They discussed it well and divided their horses into upper, middle and lower classes. During the race, they should mount the horse against the horse, middle and middle horses against each other, and dismount against each other. Because the horses in Qi Weiwang are much better than those in Tian Ji, they competed. He left the racecourse dejectedly. At this moment, Tian Ji looked up. There was a man in the crowd, who turned out to be his good friend Sun Bin Sun Bin. He called Tian Ji and patted him on the shoulder and said, "I just watched the horse race. The horse of King Wei is not much faster than yours." Before Sun Bin finished, Tian Ji glared at him: "I didn't expect you to dig at me!" Sun Bin said, "I'm not being sarcastic. I mean, if you race him again, I can definitely let you beat him." Tian Ji looked at Sun Bin doubtfully. "You mean another horse?" Sun Bin shook his head and said, "Even a horse doesn't need to be replaced." Tian Ji said with no confidence, "That's still a loss!" Sun Bin said with confidence, "Just do things according to my arrangement." Qi Weiwang was triumphantly boasting about his horse. When he saw Tian Ji coming head-on with Sun Bin, he stood up and said sarcastically, "Why, are you still unconvinced?" Tian Ji said: "Of course not convinced, let's play again!" Say, "Hua", pour a lot of money on the table, as his bet. When Qi Weiwang saw it, he was secretly amused, so he ordered his men to carry all the money he won several times before, and put it on the table with another 1,2 gold. Qi Weiwang said contemptuously, "Let's start then!" With a gong, the race began. Sun Bin took the inferior horse against the superior horse of Qi Weiwang and lost the first game. Qi Weiwang stood up and said, "I didn't expect the famous Mr. Sun Bin to come up with such a poor countermeasure." Sun Bin ignored him. Then the second game was held. Sun Bin took the superior horse against the medium horse of Qi Weiwang and won the game. Qi Weiwang was a little flustered. In the third game, Sun Bin. He won another game. Qi Weiwang was dumbfounded. The result of the game was two out of three, of course, Tian Ji won Qi Weiwang. It was the same horse. Because of changing the appearance order of the game, he got the result of turning defeat into victory. The central idea and writing characteristics showed Sun Bin's meticulous observation ability and operational ability by writing the story that Sun Bin plotted for Tian Ji and made Tian Ji win the horse race with Qi Wang. Write down the characteristics of the characters, including concise operational research principles.
2. Encircling the state of Wei to save Zhao
In 354 BC, Wei's army surrounded Handan, the capital of Zhao, and the two sides fought for more than a year, and Zhao was exhausted. At this time, Qi responded to Zhao's call for help and sent Tian Ji as the general, Sun Bin as the strategist, and led 8, troops to save Zhao. Where was the attack direction chosen? At first, Tian Ji was ready to go straight to Handan. Sun Bin thought that to untie the tangled silk thread, we should not pull it hard with our hands, and we should not directly participate in fighting others. Sending troops to clear the way, we should avoid reality and get to the point. He suggested to Tian Ji that now the elite troops of Wei are concentrated in Zhao, and the internal emptiness is empty. If we lead troops, we will plunge into the capital girder of Wei, occupy its traffic arteries and attack its empty place. It was bound to put Zhao Li down to save himself, and the Qi army took advantage of its fatigue to meet the enemy in Guiling, a pre-selected combat area, and Wei Jun was defeated, so the siege of Zhao was solved. Sun Bin used the method of besieging Wei to save Zhao's distress, which was a famous war example in the history of our country and was listed as an important one of the 36 plans by later military strategists. The tactic of encircling Wei to save Zhao was appreciated by military strategists of past dynasties. Up to now, it still has its vitality.
3. Increase troops and reduce stoves
Wei and Zhao attacked South Korea, and South Korea was in a hurry. Qi sent Tian Ji to the girder. Wei sent Pang Juan to hear the news and put down South Korea to rush back, but the Qi army had crossed the Qi territory and moved west. Sun Bin said to Tian Ji, "Their troops in the Three Jin Dynasties have always been brave and looked down on Qi, and Qi has a fear." Marching a hundred miles to compete with the enemy for profit will lose the general, marching fifty miles and competing with the enemy for profit will only make half of them arrive. (In order to make Wei Jun think that the Qi army has fallen behind in large numbers,) We should make the Qi army set up 1, stoves first, 5, stoves one day and 3, stoves the next. "Pang Juan marched for three days and was very happy to see the kitchen traces left by the Qi army, saying," I knew that the Qi army was cowardly. Only light soldiers and sharp soldiers were led, and the Qi army was pursued at twice the speed.
Sun Bin estimated that Wei Jun's marching speed should reach Maling at dark. Maling Road was narrow and full of obstacles, so he could ambush military forces and horses, so he cut off the bark of a big tree, exposed white wood, and wrote "Pang Juan died under this tree" on it. Then he ordered the Qi army's good archers to ambush on both sides of the road with tens of thousands of crossbows. It was agreed that "when you see a burning fire in the dark, you will shoot arrows together". Pang Juan really came to the tree with its bark peeled off at night, and when he saw the words written on the tree, he drilled wood for lighting. Before the words were finished, the Qi army was in full swing, and the Wei army lost its formation in chaos. Pang Juan knew that there was nothing he could do, and the army had completely failed, so he had to commit suicide. When he died, he said, "Finally, this boy became famous!" The state of Qi conquered Wei Jun and captured Prince Wei to return to China, so Sun Bin became famous all over the world.
4. Take advantage of the situation
Explain the reason: Xun; Potential: trend; Guidance: guide. Follow the development trend of things in a direction that is conducive to achieving one's own goals.
It appeared in Records of the Historian Sun Zi Wu Qi Biography by Sima Qian in the Western Han Dynasty: "A good warrior is guided by his potential."
During the Warring States Period, there was a general named Sun Bin in the State of Qi. He strategized, won a thousand miles and used his troops like gods. Leading the troops to attack Wei. In the battle, Sun Bin took advantage of the enemy's arrogance and contempt for the Qi army to make suggestions to Tian Ji. He said, "A good fighter should guide him because of his potential." He suggested using the strategy of reducing the stove day by day, pretending to be defeated and fleeing, and luring the enemy deeper. Tian Ji adopted his strategy. The proud Wei Jun really got caught, and swaggering followed the Qi army into a dangerous area called Maling. At this time, Destroy Wei Jun in one fell swoop. This is the famous "Battle of Maling" in history. Sun Bin used the enemy's pride to lure him into the trap, so he won the battle.
5. Increase troops and reduce the kitchen
"Wei and Zhao attacked Korea, and Korea was in a hurry. Qi made Tian Ji go straight to Kaifeng, Henan Province. Wei heard of Pang Juan and went to Korea, and the Qi army had already passed and gone west. A good warrior guides him with advantages because of his potential. The art of war: the general who pursues advantages in a hundred miles, the general who pursues advantages in fifty miles, and the army who pursues advantages in half. Making the Qi army enter the Wei land will be 1, stoves, 5, stoves tomorrow, and 3, stoves tomorrow. "Pang Juan was overjoyed for three days, saying," I know that the Qi army is afraid, and after three days in our land, more than half of the soldiers will die. " Can ambush. It is said that the tree is white and the book says, "Pang Juan died under this tree." So the Qi army's good archer fell across the road, and the period said, "Fire rises at dusk." Pang Juanguo saw the white book at night, but it was a fire candle. Before reading his book, the Qi army was full of crossbows, and Wei Jun was in chaos In the case of Sun Bin's increasing troops and reducing stoves, Sun Bin's superb art of strategy was demonstrated: by reducing cooking stoves (1, ~ 5, ~ 3,), Pang Juan was convinced that Qi soldiers were timid, and soldiers kept fleeing and abandoned the infantry to pursue Qi troops. When they chased Maling on the third night, Sun Bin used the narrow and dangerous terrain of Maling Road to ambush archers and set tight encirclement. Reducing stoves was a phenomenon. There are fewer people who eat less in the kitchen, so that Pang Juan is convinced of his own judgment and eventually falls into a trap.
6. Sun Pang fights with wisdom
After Sun Bin and Pang Juantong studied the art of war under Guiguzi's door, Pang Juan resigned from the mountain and took the post of general of Wei State. Zhai recommended Sun Bin to King Hui of Wei. Pang Juan was jealous, framed Sun Bin for being a comrade, and cruelly punished him. When Pang was caught off guard, he was rescued by the Minister of Qi, and escaped from the State of Wei. Sun Bin arrived in Qi, and was worshipped as a military adviser. Every time, he defeated Wei Jun, who was under the command of Pang Juan, in Guilin. The second time, Sun Bin lured Pang Juan into Maling Road and shot him to death with disorderly arrows.
