Idioms and allusions

original text

According to the legend of Sun Bin, after Sun Wu died, there was Sun Bin in his 100s. Bin was born between a and - and bin was also a descendant of Sun Wu. Sun Bin learned the art of war with Pang Juan. Pang Juan, who was a Wei official, was a general of Huiwang. He thought he was inferior to Sun Bin, but Yin envoy called Sun Bin. Pang Juan was afraid that he would be more virtuous than himself. If he was ill, he would cut off his feet and tattoo them. He wanted to hide them. Qi emissary is like Liang. Sun Bin said that Qi emissary was a criminal. Qi Shi thought it strange, and steal with Qi. Qi general Tian Ji was kind and friendly. Avoid number and Qi all childe Chi by re shoot. Sun Tzu saw that his horse's feet were not very far away, and the horse had upper, middle, lower and lower generations. So Sun Tzu said, "if you shoot again, you can win." Tian Ji believed in it and shot thousands of gold with the king and other princes. As for the temporary pledge, Sun Tzu said, "today, I will take the emperor's lower Si and the other's upper Si, take the emperor's upper Si and the other's middle Si, and take the emperor's middle Si and the other's lower Si." After three generations of Chi, Tian Ji was defeated and won again. So I don't want to be a grandson. King Wei asked about the art of war, so he took it as his teacher. Later, Wei attacked Zhao, Zhao Ji, please help Qi. When King Wei of Qi wanted to take Sun Bin away from him, he said, "no one who has left his sentence." So he took Tian Ji as his general and Sun Tzu as his teacher. He lived in the cart and sat down as a stratagem. When Tian Ji wanted to lead the army to Zhao, Sun Tzu said, "if the husband solves the chaos, he doesn't control the enemy; if he rescues the enemy, he doesn't fight against the enemy; if he criticizes the excess and attacks the deficiency, he will solve the problem himself. Today, when Liang and Zhao attack each other, light soldiers and sharp soldiers will be exhausted outside, while the old and weak will be exhausted inside. If you don't lead soldiers to rush along the main beam, according to their streets, they will release Zhao and save themselves. It was I who broke Zhao's encirclement at one stroke and took over Wei. " Tian Ji followed him, and Wei Guo went to Handan to fight with Qi in Guiling, destroying the Liang army. At the age of 13, Wei and Zhao attacked Han, who was more anxious than Qi. Qi envoy Tian Ji will go straight to the main beam. When Pang Juan, the general of the Wei Dynasty, heard that he had gone to Korea and returned home, the Qi army had already passed and left for the West. Sun Tzu said, "the soldiers of the three Jin Dynasties are brave and light, and Qi is timid. Those who are good at fighting are good at guiding them because of their strength. In the art of war, if you are interested in a hundred Li, you will be defeated. If you are interested in 50 Li, you will be defeated. It will be 100000 stoves for Qi troops to enter Wei, 50000 stoves tomorrow, and 30000 stoves tomorrow. " Pang Juan walked for three days and was overjoyed. He said, "I firmly know that Qi Jun is timid. If he enters our land for three days, more than half of the soldiers will die." He abandoned his infantry and pursued it with his light and sharp. Sun Tzu's journey is to Maling at dusk. Maling road in Shaanxi, and next to many obstacles pass, can ambush, is a big tree, white and the book said, "Pang Juan died under this tree.". So the Qi army, who is good at shooting, was ordered to bend down through the road, hoping that "at dusk, when the fire was raised, it would be fired at all.". Pang juango came to see the white book in the night under the wood. It was a fire. Before finishing reading the book, the Qi army sent out all kinds of crossbows, and the Wei army was in chaos. Pang Juan knew that he was defeated by his poor intellect, but he said to himself, "then he became the name of Lizi." Qi defeated his army and captured the prince of Wei. Sun Bin is famous for his art of war.

translation

After Sun Wu's death, more than 100 years later, there was Sun Bin again. Born in Acheng and juancheng, Sun Bin is a descendant of Sun Wu. Sun Bin once studied the art of war with Pang Juan. After Pang Juan worked in the state of Wei, he became the general of King Hui of Wei, but he thought he could not match Sun Bin, so he secretly sent for Sun Bin. When Sun Bin arrived in the state of Wei, Pang Juan was afraid that he was more virtuous than himself and hated him, so he cut off his feet under the pretext of accusation and executed ink punishment to make him buried in the world. When Qi envoys came to Daliang, Sun Bin secretly met as a criminal and lobbied. The envoys of the state of Qi thought this man was extraordinary, so they secretly drove him back to the state of Qi. General Tian Ji of Qi appreciated him and treated him as a guest. Tian Ji often raced with the princes of the state of Qi and set up a big bet. Sun Bin found that their horse strength was almost the same, which could be divided into upper, middle and lower. So Sun Bin said to Tian Ji, "just make a big bet. I can let you win." Tian Ji believed and agreed to him, and gambled with the king of Qi and the princes. As the competition was about to begin, Sun Bin said, "now use your inferior horse against their superior horse, take your superior horse against their medium horse, and take your medium horse against their inferior horse." After three games, Tian Ji won two games, and finally won the king of Qi. So Tian Ji recommended Sun Bin to King Wei of Qi. After asking him about the art of war, King Wei regarded him as a teacher. Later, the state of Wei attacked the state of Zhao. The state of Zhao was in a critical situation and asked the state of Qi for help. King Wei of Qi intended to appoint Sun Bin as the chief General. Sun Bin declined and said, "a person who has been tortured cannot be the chief General." So he appointed Tian Ji as the commander, Sun Bin as the military adviser, sitting in the car with tent, secretly planning. Tian Ji wanted to lead the rescuers straight to the state of Zhao. Sun Bin said, "those who want to untie the mess can't hold their fists tightly and pull them out; those who want to rescue a fight can't get involved and fight at random. To grasp the crux of a fighter, he has to solve it by himself because of the limitation of the situation. Now that Wei and Zhao are attacking each other, Wei's elite troops must be exhausted abroad and the old and weak soldiers at home. You might as well lead the army to rush forward to Daliang, occupy its main traffic route, and impact its just empty place. The state of Wei will surely give up the state of Zhao and return to the army to save itself. In this way, we saved Zhao Guowei's encirclement at one stroke, and we could also take advantage of the self defeating effect of Wei state. " Tian Ji followed Sun Bin's advice. As expected, the Wei army left Handan and went back to battle in Guiling. The Wei army was defeated. Thirteen years later, Wei and Zhao jointly attacked South Korea, and South Korea appealed to Qi for help. The state of Qi sent Tian Ji to lead the army to rescue and March straight to Daliang. When Pang Juan, the general of Wei, heard the news, he led his troops to leave Korea and rush back to Wei, but Qi's troops had already crossed the border and marched westward. Sun Bin said to Tian Ji, "the Wei army has always been fierce and brave, and despises Qi soldiers. Qi army has a reputation of cowardice. Generals who are good at commanding battles should be guided along with the trend of things. According to the art of war, those who rush a hundred miles to fight with the enemy may lose their generals, while only half of the soldiers who rush 50 miles to fight with the enemy can arrive. After the Qi army entered the territory of Wei, it was ordered to set up 100000 stoves, 50000 stoves in one day, and 30000 stoves in another day. " Pang Juan March three days, very happy, said: "I knew Qi army cowardly, into the territory of Wei three days, the soldiers have fled more than half." So he left his infantry and pursued Qi army day and night with his light and elite cavalry. Sun Bin estimated that he should arrive at Maling after dark. The road of Maling was narrow, and there were many steep and dangerous obstacles on both sides, so they could ambush the army. Sun Bin asked people to cut off the bark to reveal the white wood, and wrote "Pang Juan died under this tree". Then he ordered ten thousand Qi soldiers who were good at archery to hide on both sides of Maling road and agreed that "when you see the burning fire in the dark, all the arrows will fire together.". Sure enough, Pang Juan arrived at the tree that had been barked that night. When he saw the words written on the white wood, he lit a fire to illuminate the words on the trunk. Before they finished reading it, the Qi army ambushed and launched thousands of arrows at the same time. The Wei army was in chaos and lost care. Pang Juan knew that he had nothing to do, and the defeat had been decided, so he took out his sword and killed himself. On his deathbed, he said, "it has made this boy's reputation!" The Qi army took advantage of the victory to defeat the Wei army and captured the prince Shen of Wei. Sun Bin is famous all over the world, and his art of war is popular in later society.
