The Great Wei Empire in the Warring States Period

Qi State Court

Duke Tian Yinqi of Qi said to all the ministers: "Everyone, the world is in a war again. Han attacked Chen, Chu surrounded Han, Wei rescued Han, Wei attacked Song again, Zhao attacked Yan, what should Qi do?"

Zou Ji stood up and said: "Your Majesty, Qi will not participate in the growth of other countries in the world. We just need to recuperate and develop our national strength. We don't need to care about them. When the world changes, Qi will defeat Wei and become the hegemon of the world!"

Chun Yu Kun also stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the Prime Minister is right. Let them take care of the signs of other countries in the world. Qi will just develop well. Anyway, it consumes their national strength, not Qi."

Tian Yinqi felt that what the two said made sense, and just as he was about to say It was Tian Pan who stood up and objected: "Your Majesty, after Wei defeated Song, Wei got the land of Song. Will they become stronger or weaker?"

When Tian Yinqi saw Tian Pan asking such a question, he laughed and said, "Of course they will become stronger."

Then, Tian Pan said seriously: "Since Wei's attack on Song will greatly increase Wei's national strength, why should Qi wait and see? If Wei annexed Song, then it would be our Qi's turn next! Please send troops to rescue Song!"

At this time, Tian Ji and Sun Bin were not in the court. Sun Bin was unable to attend the court due to a foot disease. Tian Ji was very worried about Sun Bin's foot disease, so he had to accompany Sun Bin at home. The relationship between the two was just like that of real brothers.

Tian Yinqi fell into deep thought, then looked at Zou Ji and asked, "Prime Minister, what do you think?"

Zou Ji thought for a while and said, "Why don't you go to Tian Ji's house and ask Sun Bin, the military advisor, to see what he has in mind?"

When Tian Yinqi heard the name Sun Bin, he immediately became alert and stood up and said, "Okay, I'll go and ask the military advisor for his strategy right away!"

Then he said to Tian Pan and Zou Ji: "Zou Ji, Tian Pan, you two come with me to see Sun Bin, the military advisor."

"Yes!"

………

Inside Tian Ji's house

Sun Bin was lying on the bed with his eyes closed in pain. If Pang Juan had not imposed the punishment of "bin" on him, and the King of Wei did not distinguish right from wrong, he would not be like this, and would not have suffered pain in his legs on a cold and windy day. Therefore, after being punished with the punishment of "bin", he hated the State of Wei from then on.

Tian Ji personally helped Sun Bin boil medicine, and the doctors around him were also helping Sun Bin feel his pulse. One doctor shook his head and said, "This leg that was punished with the punishment of 膑刑 is very difficult to treat. It will take at least a year to cure this leg and stop hurting."

Tian Ji stood up and said respectfully, "Then please prescribe a prescription, sir, how to get rid of the root of this disease?"

The doctor took out a bamboo slip and wrote the prescription on it with a pen and handed it to Tian Ji, saying, "This prescription should be taken twice a day, and at night, be sure not to let his legs get cold, otherwise the condition will get worse! He also needs to eat light meals and not drink a drop of alcohol in the future!"

"Thank you, sir!" Tian Ji bowed respectfully.

When Tian Ji had boiled the medicine and was about to scoop it out, a servant rushed in and said, "General, the king has arrived!"

Tian Ji had no choice but to put down the bowl and go out to greet the king himself. Tian Yinqi brought Tian Pan and Zou Ji into the mansion. When Tian Ji saw the king, he hurried forward and bowed, saying, "Hello, king!"

Tian Yinqi did not return the greeting, but asked anxiously, "Tian Ji, where is the military advisor?"

Tian Ji replied, "Mr. Sun Bin is resting in the house because of his knee pain."

"Oh! Take me to see him!" Tian Yinqi said worriedly

Entering the house, a maid was feeding medicine to Sun Bin. Tian Yinqi saw it and sent the maid away. He personally picked up the bowl and put the medicine into Sun Bin's mouth.

When Sun Bin saw that it was the king and was about to get up, Tian Yinqi comforted him and said, "Mr. Sun Bin, please have a good rest. I will personally feed you medicine."

After feeding the medicine, Tian Yinqi said impatiently, "Mr. Sun Bin, do you know what happened recently?"

Sun Bin nodded slightly and said, "I know. Han attacked Chen, Chu surrounded Han, Wei rescued Han, Wei attacked Song again, and Zhao attacked Yan. The war in the world is really chaotic!"

Tian Yinqi asked respectfully, "Then may I ask Mr. Sun Bin, what should my Qi do? Should we send troops to rescue Song?"

"No, we should not rescue Song, but attack Chu immediately!" Sun Bin said.

Tian Yinqi asked in confusion: "Why don't you save Song, but attack Chu?"

Sun Bin explained: "Song's land is very fertile, but Wei will not dare to annex Song, because such a big piece of fat meat, let Wei alone swallow up the world, the other countries will not agree. Once Wei annexed Song, it would be attacked by the six countries! And the main general of the Wei army attacking Song this time is Wei Shen, the prince of Wei. This person is known for his strategy and great talent. I am now in pain and cannot go out with the army. I am worried that Brother Tian Ji is not his opponent! So I think we should take advantage of the fire to attack Chu. First, the main force of Chu is fighting with Wei and Han. We can take the opportunity to recover the lost land. Second, Chu is responsible for guarding the border near Qi. The generals in the border areas are all incompetent and easy to defeat! Third, we can not only recover the lost land, but also seize Langya County. If we seize this county, our Qi State can train the navy here, and we can attack Song State at any time from Danshui, laying the foundation for our Qi State to swallow Song State! "

After hearing this, Tian Yinqi was very happy and said: "Thank you for the advice, military advisor. How should we march and fight?"

Sun Bin said: "Order Tian Ji to lead 60,000 troops to attract the attention of the Chu army from the front, and Tian Pan to lead 30,000 troops to march from the land of the twelve princes under Si to seize the lost land, and attack the Chu army from both sides with Tian Ji, and then join forces with Tian Ji to take Langya County!"

"Good! That's the arrangement!" Tian Yinqi said happily.

After the king and others left, Tian Ji hurriedly asked Sun Bin again: "Mr. Sun Bin, what do you think the world will become in the future?? "

Sun Bin thought for a moment and said, "After this battle, Wei may really become the only one in power. I also heard that Han is also carrying out reforms. It is estimated that once Han destroys Chen, it will surely become a small hegemon in the world! Qin has been developing secretly behind the scenes, and it will surely shock all countries in the world in the future! As for me, Qi can take advantage of this battle to strengthen its own strength, and I estimate that Wei's next strategy must be Zhao!"

"Why?" Tian Ji asked.

"Because Zhao is most likely to threaten Wei's position among the Three Jins! Although Zhao earned millions of stones of grain from Wei before, Wei did not remove Zhao from its threat at all. Wei has always been worried that Zhao will threaten Wei's position, and will definitely attack Zhao with all its troops in the future!" Sun Bin said firmly.

Tian Ji asked again, "What do you think of the current prince of Wei? ”

Sun Bin glanced at Tian Ji and said slowly: "This man has great talent and ambition. Wei will definitely reach a new peak under his leadership! This person is the biggest threat to my Qi!"

Then, Sun Bin said: "Brother Tian Ji, this time the account record must not be taken. The rest of the Chu territory can only take back our power and hide the Langya County of Chu. Don't fight for the rest. Don't expand the results. Once the results are expanded too much, Chu will really not fight with Wei, but with my Qi! My goal in this battle is to make Chu always pin its target on Wei, and let Chu understand that his defeat and loss of land this time are all because of Wei!"

Tian Ji said thoughtfully: "I understand!"

Sun Bin smiled and said: "It is estimated that Chu will definitely be defeated by Pang Juan. If he doesn't defend Fangdi well, it will really be gone. ”

The Duke of Qi was afraid of Wei’s attack on Chu, while Sun Tzu laughed and talked about the world’s strategy.

Qi gained from watching the fire from the other side of the river, while Chu lost from the battle between Chu and Wei.

The King of Chu secretly hated the King of Wei, and the world’s situation was about to change.
