The Great Wei Empire in the Warring States Period

After two days of rest, Pang Juan led more than 100,000 Wei-Han coalition troops to Linzi, the capital of Qi. Gongzi Ang said, "General, what do you think we should ask Qi to agree to?"

Pang Juan thought for a while and said, "The territory west of the Great Wall belongs to Wei, and Qi must pay two million dan of grain and 20,000 gold as compensation. Qi must send hostages to Wei. Recognize Wei's annexation of Lu and Teng!"

Gongzi Ang nodded and said, "If this happens, Qi will bleed heavily. What should the general do with the 80,000 captured Qi soldiers?"

Pang Juan smiled and said, "Of course, they will become the people of Wei. As long as they are settled, the national strength of Wei will rise again. If Qi strongly opposes and wants to redeem them, then kill them!" - Yes!

On the Linzi City, Tian Ji and Sun Bin looked out of the city together. Tian Ji asked: "Mr. Sun Bin, I feel that the 200,000 people should not be all gone. Will many of them be captured by the Wei army?"

Sun Bin nodded: "Yes, but Pang Juan will not hand them over. He will either settle the surrendered soldiers in the country or kill them!"

When Tian Ji heard this, he said anxiously: "Mr. Sun Bin, the soldiers have experienced wars and will be experienced veterans in the future. These troops are definitely the elite among the elite! Mr. Sun Bin, is there any way to let Pang Juan release them? Those surrendered soldiers?"

Sun Bin lowered his head and thought for a while, then said: "If we want Pang Juan to release those surrendered soldiers, we must let the Marquis of Wei issue an order to release them. If we send someone to negotiate with Pang Juan, Pang Juan will definitely disagree. Only if the Marquis of Wei agrees will Pang Juan agree."

Tian Ji hurriedly said: "Send Tian Zhuo to persuade the Marquis of Wei, the Marquis of Wei should agree to release those surrendered soldiers."

Sun Bin then shook his head and said: "No, Tian Zhuo's going will be counterproductive. Tian Zhuo is a businessman who focuses on profit. If he is asked to negotiate alliances and other things, it may be counterproductive. Yes, but it is not possible to ask him to negotiate about benevolence and righteousness. Merchants pursue profits, and these surrendered soldiers are profits in the eyes of merchants, which will only make the Marquis of Wei think that they are a big fish, and make the Marquis of Wei more determined to kill these surrendered soldiers. Therefore, a great sage who has learned Confucianism must be sent. Only a great sage can make the Marquis of Wei agree to release the surrendered soldiers. " Tian Ji said helplessly: "Mr. Sun Bin, since Tian Zhuo is not suitable, who can be sent? Should we send the students of Jixia Academy? I always feel that those students are just talking about the truth on paper, which is flashy and not practical! They can only copy what is said in the book. If Meng Ke is sent, Meng Ke doesn't want to deal with these mundane matters, so he may not agree. "

Sun Bin thought about it, and suddenly thought of someone and said, "In recent days, I heard that there is a great sage who fled from Lu to Qi. His name is Chunyu Kun. I think he can persuade the Marquis of Wei to release the surrendered soldiers!"

When Tian Ji heard that Sun Bin had a solution, he said happily, "Okay, then I will go and invite this person."

Inside Tian Ji's house

Sun Bin was drinking tea, and heard Tian Ji's words outside, "Apply first, this is my house."

VoiceAfter a while, Tian Ji brought an ugly man in. Tian Ji introduced to Sun Bin who was sitting next to him: "Mr. Sun Bin, this is Mr. Chunyu Kun, a great talent from Qufu Academy!"

Sun Bin smiled and explained: "Mr. Chunyu Kun, please forgive me for being rude. I have a leg disease and cannot stand up to greet you. Please forgive me."

Chunyu Kun bowed and said: "So it's Mr. Sun Bin, a great military talent! I have heard of you for a long time!"

Sun Bin smiled and said: "Brother Tian Ji should have explained the reason to Mr. Chunyu Kun. Please come to Mr. Chunyu Kun. Mr. Kun can go to Anyi to persuade the Marquis of Wei!"

Chun Yu Kun said: "This is a matter of great benevolence and righteousness. I will definitely go to Anyi to persuade the Marquis of Wei. I will set off this afternoon." After hearing this, Tian Ji hurriedly bowed and said: "Then I will ask Mr. Chun Yu Kun!"

The next morning

Pang Juan led more than 100,000 Wei-Han coalition forces to the capital of Qi, Linzi. The Qi army on the city saw the dense Wei-Han coalition forces under the city and was already scared out of their wits.

Pang Juan looked at Linzi with a firm look in his eyes and smiled in his heart: Sir, you always say that Brother Sun Bin's talent is better than mine. It seems that he, a disabled person, is just so-so. Now Qi has been beaten by me without any chance to fight back. I am the most suitable person to inherit Sun Tzu's Art of War!

Kong Ye, the commander of the Han army, flattered him and said, "General Pang is really the best general in the world! Now we have reached the capital of Qi, Linzi. General Pang's achievements have surpassed those of Cui Jiao, the famous general of Wei Wenhou!" (Cui Jiao, a famous general of Wei Wenhou, once led the Three Jin coalition forces to break through the Great Wall of Qi, beheaded 30,000 people and captured the then Duke Kang of Qi.)

Pang Juan did not speak, but just smiled. Gongzi Ang, who was standing on the left, said, "General, should we temporarily set up camp before attacking the city to force Qi to surrender?"

Pang Juan nodded and said, "Okay, Gongzi Ang, you take 10,000 people to set up camp first, and the rest of you follow me to surround Linzi!" - Yes!

On the tower, Tian Ji had a nervous look on his face and kept staring at the Wei army below. He saw that the famous Wei Wuzu was in front of the Wei-Han coalition army. Sun Bin, who was sitting in a wheelchair, smiled and said with a feather fan in his hand: "Brother Tian Ji, don't worry. Anyway, we are going to negotiate with the Wei-Han coalition forces, and they will not attack the city! Let's ask Tian Zhuo to go out of the city to negotiate with them later!" Tian Ji sighed and said: "If Tian Shou hadn't driven Tian Pan away, Qingshi Pass would not have been lost, right? I didn't expect that my Qi State would face the danger of Qi Kanggong at that time!" Sun Bin said again: "Brother Tian Ji, go and call Tian Pan over quickly!" - Yes!

After a while, Tian Pan came up to Sun Bin and saluted, saying, "Greetings, military advisor!" Sun Bin smiled and said, "Don't be polite. You should have fought against the Wei Wuzu. Tell me about them." Tian Pan asked in confusion, "Mr. Sun Bin, haven't you ever been a guest official in Wei before? Don't you know how the Wei Wuzu fought?"

Sun Bin just smiled and said, "I was a guest official for only one month, and my kneecap was dug out. I never saw the Wei Wuzu., this is also the first time I have seen Wei Wuzu. I have only heard about the fighting style of Wei Wuzu in books and from my teacher. You must have seen it many times in Qingshi Pass. Tell me about it. ”

Tian Pan explained: "The fighting style of Wei Wuzu is mainly reflected in mutual cooperation. They attack with bows and crossbows at a distance. When facing an enemy with more people than them, they take a step-by-step approach. At close range, they attack with long halberds, and attack with swords when charging. Moreover, Wei Wuzu is not only infantry, but also has corresponding chariots and cavalry to cooperate with each other. For every 100 Wei Wuzu soldiers, there are two chariots and ten cavalry to cooperate in combat..."

At this point, Sun Bin interrupted and said: "Why do I read in the book that Wei Wuzu is just some infantry, without chariots and cavalry? My teacher has not explained to me that Wei Wuzu also has chariots and cavalry."

Tian Pan said again: "That's right. It turns out that when Li Kui was the prime minister, he began to train Wei Wuzu. At that time, the soldiers trained by Li Kui were the predecessors of Wei Wuzu. Those soldiers only had infantry but no chariots and cavalry. Finally, after Wu Qi arrived in Wei, he added chariots and cavalry on the basis of infantry. To defeat Wei Wuzu, you must first defeat their chariots and cavalry, so that you can gradually strangle Wei Wuzu infantry! If the chariots and cavalry are not defeated, rashly attacking the Wei Wuzu square will only be surrounded and killed by their cavalry and chariots. "

After listening, Sun Bin thought for a while and said: "In other words, for every 10,000 Wei Wuzu infantry, there are 200 chariots and 1,000 cavalry to cooperate in combat! Five people form a squad, ten people form a squad, fifty people form a garrison, 100 people form a centurion, 1,000 people form a lieutenant, 5,000 people form a general, 10,000 people form a lieutenant, 30,000 people form an army, and the army has a general. This should be the organization of Wei Wuzu and the army of Wei. "

Sun Bin asked again: "Then how do Wei Wuzu cooperate? How do the officers who manage the infantry, cavalry, and chariots coordinate their operations? I heard that the officers of the chariots and cavalry of the Wei Wuzu are equivalent to the officers of the infantry. " Tian Pan said helplessly: "Mr. Sun Bin, this is one of the reasons why the Wei Wuzu is so powerful. We don't understand how the Wei Wuzu can make the infantry, chariots, and cavalry cooperate so perfectly in combat, and I don't know how they deploy their troops. Since the officers of the infantry, cavalry, and chariots in an army are equivalent, how they are deployed is the biggest reason! ”

Sun Bin saw Tian Pan and didn’t know why, so he looked at the Wei Wuzu square formation. He saw that the Wei Wuzu square formation had a square formation of 5,000 people, with chariots behind the square formation, cavalry on both sides, and some chariots mixed among the cavalry, and a nest car in the middle of the Wei Wuzu square formation.

Sun Bin smiled and said, “I understand. The so-called two chariots and ten cavalry for every 100 people are just the total number divided equally. In fact, the Wei Wuzu square formation is composed of 5,000 people per square formation, and there are 100 chariots and 500 cavalry among these 5,000 people.. The reason why their chariots and cavalry can coordinate quickly is that they are commanded by the deputy general in the middle. The deputy general can watch the movements of several miles around the square through the nest car. Similarly, they can watch the orders issued by the main general through the nest car, and then inform the army below one by one. The so-called cavalry and chariot generals are actually one level lower than the deputy generals. In other words, the Wei army generals who command chariots and cavalry should be in the position of school lieutenants. The so-called same position is just fooling people. You can see that the clothes of the generals standing on the nest car are different from those of the cavalry generals and chariot generals. The clothes of the generals on the nest car are obviously more gorgeous than those of the generals who manage cavalry and chariots, and their armor is also very different. "Tian Pan also observed one side carefully and said, "It is true. I didn't expect that the so-called generals have the same position and can cooperate quickly, but it is actually fake. ”

Sun Bin smiled and said: "No one wants to see people of the same position stepping on their heads, so the general of the infantry has only one possibility to command them, that is, the other two people have lower positions than him! If you want to defeat Wei Wuzu, you can't fight head-on, you can only win with strategy!" Tian Pan asked again: "Since Mr. Sun Bin can't defeat Wei Wuzu head-on, how to win with strategy?"

Sun Bin smiled but didn't say anything, just said: "Tian Zhuo will go out of the city to negotiate later, and the war will be over soon. Let's train the troops well next!" ——Yes!

Main general's tent

Pang Juan was having dinner with the generals, and a soldier came in and said: "General, the envoy of Qi army is here!" When Pang Juan heard that it was the envoy of Qi, he put down the meat in his hand and said: "Then let him in!" ——Yes!

Tian Zhuo walked in and bowed to Pang Juan and said: "Meet the general, I am Tian Zhuo! The lower doctor of Qi. "Pang Juan wiped his hands with a piece of cloth and said, "Doctor Tian Zhuo, are you here to seek peace or to fight?" Tian Zhuo smiled and said, "Of course I am here to seek peace. I wonder what conditions General Pang needs my Qi to agree to?"

Pang Juan asked someone to take out a map, then pointed to the map and said, "First, all the territory west of the Great Wall of Qi belongs to my Wei; second, in this war, Qi will compensate my Wei with 2 million dan of grain, all of which should be paid with millet, 20,000 gold; third, Qi will support my country in annexing the two countries of Lu and Teng; fourth, Qi will send hostages to Anyi, my Wei, as hostages! As long as Qi agrees to these four terms, my Wei-Han coalition will withdraw immediately. "

Tian Zhuo knew that no matter how much he negotiated, it would not work, so he had to agree to Pang Juan's conditions. He sighed and said, "My Qi agrees to all the conditions of Wei! Please withdraw, General Pang. ”

Pang Juan smiled and said: "Okay, Doctor Tian Zhuo is so straightforward. My army will withdraw immediately after 15 days, but the food and money must be sent to Anyi. Before the food and money are sent to Anyi, I will keep my troops stationed at Qingshi Pass. As for the rations for my troops, they will eat the food from your Qi State!"

Tian Zhuo said: "Qi State agrees to these conditions!"
