After Sun Bin left Wei, Gongsun Yue quietly released the fake Sun Bin in the pigsty and then reported Pang Juan that Sun Bin didn''t return last night and today he searched the whole city and didn''t see Sun Bin''s shadow. Pang Juan was full of anger and blamed Gongsun Yue for not telling him earlier, ordering, “If there''s nothing inside the city, immediately take people outside the city to look for it and make sure you get Sun Bin back!”


    Gongsun Yue led a group of soldiers to look outside the city for a long time and finally found Sun Bin''s worn clothes by the river. After returning to the marquee, Gongsun Yue speculated to Pang Juan that Sun Bin most likely drowned in the river. Pang Juan remembered that when he was in Ghost Valley, Sun Bin liked to touch fish in the water, and after receiving Bin''s punishment, he was delirious and couldn''t move easily, so he believed Gongsun Yue''s speculation.


    Hearing that Sun Bin drowned, Zhong Li Qiu was in pain and cried her eyes out. Zhong Li Chun helped her sister bury Sun Bin''s clothes in a quiet forest in the countryside and piled up a grave to be considered Sun Bin''s grave. Zhong Li Qiu knelt in front of Sun Bin''s grave and continued to cry until the blood-like sunset slowly set.


    Zhong Li Chun was worried that her sister had cried her body out and advised her to forget Sun Bin. Zhong Li Qiu said she could never forget Sun, Sun was wrongly accused and died.


    Seeing that Zhong Li Chun was so infatuated with Sun Bin, Zhong Li Chun sighed softly and said to herself, “If I had known this, I shouldn''t have agreed to Gongsun Yue.” A thought flashed through her mind: kill Gongsun Yue!


    The moonlight was like water, flowing into Gongsun Yue''s room through the window. The door of the house was gently rattled open, and a sword-wielding person dashed into the room, it was Zhong Li Chun. Zhong Li Chun gently walked to Gongsun Yue''s sleeping couch and said in a low voice, “Gongsun Yue, I''m really sorry ......,” she said as she swung her sword and slashed at Gongsun Yue.


    With a metallic clash, the sword in Zhong Li Chun''s hand was blocked aside.


    Gongsun Yue, who was holding a long sword in his hand, leapt up from the bed and stood in front of Zhong Li Chun, laughing coldly, “Zhong Li Chun, I didn''t expect you to have such a hand!”


    Zhong Li Chun froze for a moment, and after calming his mind, he said, “I have no choice in the matter, my sister, she is unwilling to marry you even if she dies.”


    “I don''t care if she is willing or not, since you promised me, you have to find a way to make her marry me.”


    “My way is to kill you!”


    Saying that, Zhong Li Chun stabbed at Gongsun Yue again with his sword, Gongsun Yue blocked it with his sword. Zhong Li Chun stabbed again and was again blocked away by Gongsun Yue''s sword. Zhong Li Chun stabbed again, and was again blocked by Gongsun Yue''s sword.


    Gongsun Yue drew himself up and jumped aside, saying, “Zhong Li Chun, you can''t kill me, although you are good at swordsmanship, you are not my opponent.”


    “Not necessarily!” Zhong Li Chun was very unconvinced, she said and made a few more moves, Gongsun Yue waved his sword to resist.


    Gongsun Yue said carelessly, “Zhong Li Chun, stop, you really are not my opponent.”


    Zhong Li Chun attacked more and more urgently, but he could not win. Zhong Li Chun changed his stance, but Gongsun Yue dodged and knocked down Zhong Li Chun''s sword with his swiftness.


    Gongsun Yue picked up the sword and gave it to Zhong Li Chun, saying, “Go back and persuade your sister.”


    Zhong Li Chun took the sword and turned around to leave, Gongsun Yue seemed to have thought of something again and shouted, “Wait.”


    Zhong Li Chun stood still, his back facing Gongsun Yue.


    Gongsun Yue said, “Tell your sister, if she doesn''t say yes, I''ll tell Pang Juan about Sun Bin''s escape, Pang Juan will surely lead his troops to attack Qi, Qi is afraid of Pang Juan and will surely hand over Sun Bin.”


    Zhong Li Chun turned back and laughed coldly, “Sun Bin escaped, you''re also implicated, and when Pang Juan finds out, you won''t survive either.”


    Gongsun Yue said to Zhong Li Chun very seriously, “If I can''t get Zhong Li Qiu, I''d rather die.”


    Zhong Li Chun returned home, not knowing how to persuade her sister. After thinking about it, she had to truthfully tell Zhong Li Qiu what happened before and after Sun Bin fled Wei.


    Zhong Li Qiu knew that Sun Bin didn''t die and her heart finally fell to the ground.


    Zhong Li Chun said guiltily, “Autumn, in order to save Mr. Sun, we had to agree to Gongsun Yue, and there was no other way ...... I know that you will resent your sister for this for the rest of your life ...... ”


    “Sister, I don''t resent you.” Zhong Li Qiu calmly said to Zhong Li Chun, “If I were you, I would have done the same thing ...... However, Mr. Sun has already arrived in Qi, so there is no need for us to take on promises made under duress.”


    Zhong Li Chun said helplessly, “Sister, you don''t quite understand things between countries. If Pang Juan knows that Sun Bin is still alive, he will never let it go. Qi is afraid of Pang Juan, and under Pang Juan''s coercion, it''s very likely that he''ll hand over Sun Bin. Therefore, the fact that Mr. Sun has arrived in Qi must not be known to Pang Juan.”


    “Sister, if I don''t say anything, if you don''t say anything, if Gongsun Yue doesn''t say anything, Pang Juan won''t know that Sun Bin is in Qi.”


    “Gongsun Yue threatened me that if you won''t marry him, he''ll tell Pang Juan about Sun Bin.”


    “But ...... if Pang Juan knew about Sun, Gongsun Yue he wouldn''t survive.”


    “Gongsun Yue said that if he can''t take you as his wife, he''d rather die.”


    Zhong Li Qiu said hatefully, “Then let him die!”


    “I also thought so, tonight I go to kill him, but I am not his opponent ...... I have to come back to beg you ......” Zhong Li Chun deeply felt a powerless lack.


    Zhong Li Qiu was silent, tears like pearls breaking off, kept flowing down.


    Zhong Li Chun looked at her sister and said, “Good sister, sister knows that it is difficult for you ...... but sister no longer has any other good way ......”


    Zhong Li Qiu hugged Zhong Li Chun and cried, “Sister, why is my life so bitter ......”


    Zhong Li Chun wrapped her arms around her sister''s shoulders and couldn''t help but weep as well.


    After Zhong Li Chun finished her sister''s wedding, she left Wei the next day and went to Qi to find Sun Bin. Sun Bin was overjoyed at Zhong Li Chun''s arrival and Qin Gu was happy too. Qin Gu tentatively asked her how it would be to live in General Tian''s mansion, to which Zhong Li Chun replied, “I''m here to take care of Mr. Sun, so of course I''ll be staying in the General''s mansion.” A hint of jealousy and embarrassment flashed across Qin Gu''s face.


    General Tian Ji was a good horseman, and on the day Zhong Li Chun came he was preparing for a horse race with King Wei of Qi, and asked Qin Gu to come to the track to watch the race with him. As a result, Tian Ji''s first-class horse, second-class horse and third-class horse all lost to King Qi Wei. King Qi Wei smiled proudly at Tian Ji and said, “General Tian, you have lost three times in three battles with me, it''s time for you to admit defeat, right?”


    Tian Ji said he was not convinced.


    Zou Ji, the prime minister of Qi, said to Tian Ji without irony: “General Tian will lose every match with the king, and is already a frequently defeated general, so it''s better to submit.”


    Tian Ji and Zou Ji had always been at odds. Zou Ji assisted the king of Qi Wei to make Qi strong, since then he is proud of his achievements, not to put Tian Ji in the eyes. Tian Ji''s military power is in his hands, but he also does not buy Zou Ji''s account. After Tian Ji''s defeat by Pang Juan of Wei, Zou Ji had appealed to King Wei of Qi to remove him from the post of general. The King of Qi did not grant the request because Tian Ji was of the same clan as him. The conflict between Tian Ji and Zou Ji also deepened.


    Tian Ji and shy and annoyed face red, ignoring Zou Ji, he said to King Qi Wei: “King, five days later, I have to compete with the king, must win!”


    King Qi Wei stroked his beard: “Good, a promise is a promise.”


    Zou Ji stirred the pot from the sidelines, “General Tian, is there enough gold left to place a bet? Not enough for me to lend you.”


    “Thank you for your kind words, Minister Zou, I have plenty of gold!”


    “Since there is plenty of gold, I wonder if the general would dare to place a heavy bet next time?”


    “What''s there not to dare? Next time, one horse, one thousand taels of gold.”


    Zou Ji was secretly pleased when he heard this. He thought to himself, “Since Tian Ji has agreed to place a heavy bet, and will lose his family''s money if he loses, Tian Ji will not sit back and wait for death, he will do whatever he can to amass wealth. As long as he is unscrupulous, we can catch him and force him to surrender his military power.


    On the way back to his house, Qin Gu complained that Tian Ji shouldn''t have gambled with Xianggu to place such a heavy bet. Tian Ji said helplessly, “Hey, I was forced by Xiangguo. Do you know what he said about me? He said I am a general who always loses! He was explicitly talking about horse racing and implicitly referring to fighting, ridiculing me for losing to Wei several times, so how can I swallow this?”


    Tian Ji asked Qin Gu to find a way to buy a few good horses, and Qin Gu managed to find a few after several attempts, but when he inquired about them, they had all been bought by people from the Xiangguo Palace. Qin Gu hated and angry, but there is nothing he can do. Qin Gu walked back along the market, frustrated, and while walking, he surveyed the passing cars and horses for a miracle.


    Zhong Li Chun meets Qin Gu on the street and hears that he is choosing a horse on the street and laughs at him for buying a horse in the marketplace as pure nonsense. Qin Gu also laughs at himself and says that he just wants to take his chances.


    An old man leading a horse walks past them, drawing Qin Gu''s eyes over. Qin Gu sprinted after the old man and asked, “Elder, are you selling this horse?” As he spoke his eyes couldn''t stop sizing up the old man''s horse.


    The old man looked at him for a few moments and said, “For sale.”


    “How much?”


    “A penny for it, and a thousand gold for it.”


    “You mean your horse is priceless?”


    The old man laughed, “It''s not priceless, I''m unwilling to haggle, make your offer.”


    Qin Gu thought for a moment and said, “Ten taels of gold, how about it?”


    Before the old man could reply, one of the servants from the Zou Mansion grabbed forward and said, “I''ll offer twenty taels.”


    Qin Gu glanced at him and said, “I''ll offer twenty-five taels.”


    The Zou Mansion servant upped the ante and said, “I''ll offer thirty taels.”


    “Thirty-five taels.”


    “Forty taels.”


    The old man looked at the two, leading the horse to leave.


    Qin Gu hurriedly chased after him and said, “Elder, I offer fifty taels.”


    Without looking back, the old man said, “I won''t sell it even if you offer as much as two taels.”


    Qin Gu followed the old man and asked, “You said you would sell it, why don''t you sell it again?”


    “As I said just now, I''m not willing to bargain.”


    “Well then, how much did you say?”


    “No price.”


    Qin Gu''s face was full of smiles as he said, “Elder, even the best horse has a price, so name a price.”


    The elder stood still, and said in a bad humor, “Three thousand taels of gold, can you afford it?”


    So much gold, Qin Gu indeed can''t afford it. The old man led the horse to go, Qin Gu suddenly on the horse''s ass vigorously pat, the horse hoofs galloped. The old man anxiously chased after the horse.


    Qin Gu shouted behind him, “Old man, hurry up and chase after him, that''s 3,000 taels of gold!”


    Zhong Li Chun laughed his ass off and shouted along.


    A carriage stopped beside them, “Qin Gu, why are you fooling around here if you don''t go buy a horse!” The one who spoke was Tian Ji, who was full of sulkiness.


    Qin Gu went up to Tian Ji and saluted him, thinking while saying, “General, we are not fooling ...... around, it''s like this, that ...... Zhong Li girl said just now that she has a good idea that can outwit the great king, and when we were happy, we got a bit got carried away.”


    Tian Ji''s face eased a lot, asked Zhong Li Chun: “Zhong Li girl, what good idea do you have?”


    Zhong Li Chun was momentarily speechless, not knowing how to answer.


    Qin Gu said to Tian Ji, “General, it''s not convenient to talk on the street, so I''ll let Miss Zhong Li tell you when we get back to the house.”


    After Tian Ji left, Zhong Li Chun complained to Qin Gu, “What are you babbling to the general, how could I have any good ideas?”


    “Miss Zhong Li, I''m really sorry, I was in a hurry just now.”


    “It doesn''t matter if you got wise in a hurry, how can you ask me to explain to the general?”


    Qin Gu''s eyes lit up and said, “We can go to Mr. Sun and let him help us out.”


    Qin Gu and Zhong Li Chun came to Sun Bin''s place and told Sun Bin about the horse race and the purchase of the horse and asked Sun Bin to give them an idea.


    Sun Bin thought for a moment and asked, “Last horse race, how much did the General''s top quality horse lose to the Great King''s horse?”


    Qin Gu said, “About a horse length.”


    “And the medium horse?”


    “Also a horse body.”


    “And the inferior horse?”


    “Still one horse body.”


    “In that case, the general''s horse is about the same as the great king''s.”


    “It is not much, but it has lost many races, so the general will have to change his horse.”


    Unauthorized usage: this tale is on Amazon without the author''s consent. Report any sightings.“There is no need to change horses, I can still let the general win.”


    Qin Gu laughed: “That''s impossible, you probably haven''t raced a horse, don''t look at the difference of one horse body, to catch up, you can''t practice without half a year and a year, besides, the Great King''s horse is practicing too.”


    Sun Bin smiled slightly and said, “By giving up one horse, you can exchange it for an overall victory.”


    Qin Gu seemed to comprehend something and said, “Please tell me more about it, sir.”


    Sun Bin said in a deep voice, “Let the general''s inferior horse face the king''s superior horse, the general''s superior horse face the king''s medium horse, and the medium horse face the king''s inferior horse. In this way, by giving up the inferior horses, the general''s superior and medium horses will win a solid victory. Lose one game, win two, and the general will still win a thousand gold.”


    Zhong Li Chun high-fived from the sidelines, “That''s fantastic!”


    Qin Gu told Tian Ji about the horse race countermeasure, Tian Ji looked hesitant and said, “Sun Bin''s idea is good, but I''m worried that doing so will be a suspicion of deceiving the king.”


    Qin Gu laughed: “General is over worried, this is not deceiving the king, it''s strategizing. The playing field is like the battlefield, allowing for strategy to win.”


    “That''s what I said, but the Great King is a person who loves face very much, if he knows about it, he will definitely blame me ......”


    Qin Gu glanced at the hesitant Tian Ji, coughed lightly, and said, “General, with all due respect, one of the major reasons why the general lost to Pang Juan several times is because of his indecisiveness.”


    Tian Ji''s face instantly grimaced and he slapped the large table in front of him with force, saying angrily, “Qin Gu! In vain I value you so much, I didn''t expect you to belittle me like this too!”


    “General calm your anger, I have no intention to belittle you, just want to say something. No matter what you do, when you make a break, you will lose.” Qin Gu said in a deep voice: “I don''t know if the general has thought about it, if you don''t dare to take this risk even for the horse race, when the two armies are fighting, you won''t dare to use Sun Bin''s plan even more. In that case, even though you have Sun Bin, what''s the use?”


    Tian Ji eased his emotions, nodded slightly and decided to adopt Sun Bin''s strategy.


    The day of the horse race finally arrived, this time there were a lot of people watching, Sun Bin and Zhong Li Chun were among the crowd. King Qi Wei was sitting in front of the tent where he was watching the race, on his left was Tian Ji and on his right was Zou Ji. There was a pile of gold on the table in front of Tian Ji, but not a single piece of gold on the table in front of King Qi Wei.


    Zou Ji glanced at the gold in front of Tian Ji and said with a smile, “It seems that General Tian is ready to lose.”


    Tian Ji smiled brightly, “Also ready to win.”


    Zou Ji also stroked his palm and laughed, “General Tian does have the demeanor of a great general and is very good at comforting himself.”


    The order flag in the hands of the tournament director was raised, and the war drums on the front side of the tent were beaten.


    At the starting point, two horses galloped out. One horse had a yellow silk tied around its neck, the other had a red silk tied around its neck-the former was King Qi Wei''s horse, the latter was Tian Ji''s. King Qi Wei''s horse gradually took the lead, and ran faster and faster. Tian Ji''s horse tried desperately to catch up, but after all, it was too weak to do so.


    King Qi Wei shook his head and said to Tian Ji: “Tian Ji, why is your horse getting worse and worse?”


    Tian Ji said with equanimity, “If this horse doesn''t work, there''s the next one.”


    The drums stopped amidst a cheer, and King Qi Wei''s horse reached the finish line a dozen paces ahead. The Dafu in charge of the race stood in front of the tent and said loudly, “The first race, comparing the top grade horses, is won by the king. Win the gold of one thousand taels.”


    The palace guards took away the gold in front of Tian Ji.


    Zou Ji gloated and said to Tian Ji, “General Tian, have you brought the gold for the next game?”


    Tian Ji hummed, “Don''t worry about it, I''ve got it all ready.”


    King Qi Wei smiled, “If you don''t have it, you can owe it first.”


    “Please don''t worry, Your Majesty, I will never owe Your Majesty''s gambling money.”


    The war drums beat again and the second race began. Two horses came galloping in, one tied with two yellow silks, the other with two red silks. Tian Ji''s horse ran faster and faster, gradually overtaking King Qi Wei''s horse.


    The people watching were quite surprised and puzzled, and there was a great deal of talk.


    The two horses crossed the finish line one after the other, the one in front was Tian Ji''s horse, it was two lengths ahead of King Qi Wei''s horse.


    Zhong Li Chun happily grabbed Sun Bin''s hand and shouted “Winning! We won!”


    Sun Bin calmly said, “It''s only a tie now, we haven''t won yet.”


    The third race started soon after. The two galloping horses were almost indistinguishable from each other.


    All the people watching were glued to the two racehorses. Tian Ji stared nervously at his horse, and King Qi Wei was even more nervous, his fists clenched as if he was cheering for his horse.


    Tian Ji turned around and asked Qin Gu behind him in a low voice, “It''s not a mistake, is it?”


    Qin Gu replied back, “It won''t.”


    Tian Ji''s horse gradually led by half a length. The King of Qi''s horse was not willing to lag behind and desperately tried to catch up.


    Zhong Li Chun was so nervous that he didn''t have the courage to look any further and raised his hand to cover his eyes. Deafening cheers suddenly erupted around them - Tian Ji had won again!


    In front of the tent, King Wei of Qi''s face was very ugly as he said to Tian Ji: “General Tian, I don''t have any betting money with me, I''ll give it to you after I return to the palace, is that okay?”


    Tian Ji bowed and said, “Your Majesty''s gambling money, I don''t want it.”


    King Qi Wei was very unhappy and said with a sullen face, “What do you mean by this? Do you want the world to say that I am not faithful?”


    Tian Ji replied, “No, this horse race was won by chance by the microscopic minister, so I dare not ask for the Great King''s betting money.”


    Zou Ji said from the sidelines, “I don''t think General Tian won by chance, but by tampering.”


    “I didn''t do any tricks, I used a stratagem.”


    King Qi Wei was stunned and asked Tian Ji what scheme he used. Tian Ji told King Qi Wei about Sun Bin''s plan to win two by giving up one. King Qi Wei couldn''t help but high five and said, “Wonderful, wonderful win! Who came up with this plan for you?”


    “I would like to tell the king alone.”


    Tian Ji followed King Qi Wei back to the palace and told King Qi about Sun Bin''s life and experience and recommended Sun Bin to King Qi Wei, saying that Sun Bin was able to defeat Wei. King of Qi was surprised and immediately summoned Sun Bin.


    Sun Bin walked into the palace of Qi on crutches, he walked step by step in front of King of Qi Wei and didn''t kneel down, he arched his hand and saluted, “Grassman Sun Bin, I pay my respects to the Great King.”


    No one in Qi has ever paid a visit to the King of Qi without kneeling, King Qi Wei was a bit upset and asked, “Sun Bin, why don''t you kneel?”


    Sun Bin said frankly: “I''ve been punished with Bin punishment, I can''t kneel.”


    King Qi Wei looked at Sun Bin''s legs and was relieved. And asked “I heard you''re a key criminal of Wei?”


    “That''s true, but I''m also a mortal enemy of Wei.”


    “Can you defeat Wei for me?”


    “Not at present.”


    “Why can''t I?”


    “Currently, Wei''s army is stronger than Qi''s army.”


    “When can I defeat Wei.”


    “One needs to wait for the right time.”


    “How long to wait?”


    “Three years at most, one year at least.”


    King Qi Wei doesn''t quite believe Sun Bin''s words, he thinks Sun Bin is not waiting for the right time, but is just passing the buck, so he asks Sun Bin again, “I want to know how can you defeat Wei after one year, or after three years?”


    Sun Bin saw King Qi Wei''s doubt and said, “Your Majesty, if you''re willing to listen, the grasshopper can say more.”


    King Qi Wei smiled slightly and said, “As long as you can really help me defeat Wei, not to mention a few sentences, even if it''s dozens or hundreds, I''m willing to listen.”


    Sun Bin bowed and saluted, and said eloquently, “In today''s world of great struggles, whether or not a country can win a war is a matter of life and death! Only the victor can avoid the death of his country and continue the kingdom for generations; if he cannot win the war and invites the vassals to bully one after another, he will be forced to cede his country to the extent of jeopardizing the state of his country.”


    King Qi Wei could not help nodding.


    “But,” Sun Bin then turned serious, ”Victory is not something to be coveted by chance. To achieve victory, one is to be well prepared in all aspects before the battle. In this way, even if the city is small and the enemy is outnumbered, we can still defend ourselves and even reverse the situation in the face of the incoming enemy. Secondly, the war launched by the need to be just. War is not a child''s play, the use of military must be cautious, those who militarize for the pleasure of war will one day be humiliated and be destroyed.”


    When he heard Sun Bin say that waging war needs to be righteous, King Wei of Qi was a bit dismayed, some Confucian scholars in the Jixi Academy of Qi often expounded to him the ideal of unifying the world without the use of force by instilling a benevolent government and convincing people with virtues. Could it be that this so-called descendant of Sun Wu Zi in front of him was also a pedant who did not know how to use power and change? King Qi Wei just frowned lightly and said, “Sun Bin, go ahead and speak.”


    To avoid King Qi Wei''s misunderstanding, Sun Bin further elaborated, “War is admittedly brutal and it''s understandable that people don''t like it. What the grasshopper opposes is the behavior of rash belligerence and fighting for the sake of fighting, but to oppose war purely out of aversion and advocate convincing people with virtue and serving them with courtesy would be too pedantic and naive.”


    King Qi Wei''s eyes lit up and signaled Sun Bin to speak plainly.


    Sun Bin said, “In the past, Shen Nong cut down the flint, Yellow Emperor fought Chi You, Tang Yao discussed Gong Gong, Yu Shun conquered the Three Miao, Shang Tang and Zhou Wu Wang overthrew Jie and Zhou, and Zhou Gong conquered the East. None of them is not through the means of war to solve the problem, to achieve unity. Nowadays, people are not as virtuous as the three kings, not as talented as the five emperors, not as wise as the Duke of Zhou, but they talk about eliminating war with benevolence, righteousness, courtesy and music, which makes a mockery of the whole world. The sages are not not want to dissolve the war with benevolence, righteousness, etiquette and music, and rule under the arch of the arch, but in reality, it simply does not work! Therefore, the last resort and use the military. Especially in today''s era of great struggle for supremacy, the only way to stop the war of injustice through the war of justice, so that they are in a strong position. If you win, you will be strong, and the world will submit to you, not to mention a Wei state.”


    King Qi Wei was greatly shaken by this unique analysis and then asked Sun Bin to talk about the situation of the countries and specific strategic issues, nodding his head and agreeing every time he heard something wonderful. After listening to Sun Bin''s grand theory, King Qi Wei couldn''t help but stand up and said to Sun Bin with a bit of excitement: “Sun Bin, it''s my good fortune that you''ve come to Qi, it''s the good fortune of the Qi state! I worship you as a great general ......”


    Sun Bin quickly said, “Your Majesty, you can''t.”


    King Qi Wei was puzzled and asked, “Why?”


    “Grasshopper''s legs are handicapped and his face has torture marks, if the Great King worships Grasshopper as a Great General, the world will laugh at Qi for having no one. Moreover, I have not yet accomplished anything, so it is difficult to convince the public. It is better to let Tian Ji be the general.”


    “Then how about I make you a military advisor?”


    “Not at the moment.”


    “Why?”


    Sun Bin said, “Pang Juan doesn''t know that Grasshopper is in Qi, so he doesn''t take Qi as a problem, if Your Majesty appoints Grasshopper as a military commander, it will definitely reach Pang Juan''s ears, and if Pang Juan brings his troops in to invade, it will be difficult for the current Qi army to withstand it.”


    King Wei of Qi nodded slightly, he inwardly praised Sun Bin for his thoughtfulness, he asked Sun Bin: “When do you think is a good time to take the position of Military Advisor?”


    “When the Great King has no choice but to move his troops.”


    Note: “Li replacing the peach” is the eleventh of the 36 stratagems, the name of the stratagem comes from the later, similar to the Chinese Chess “Throwing away the car to protect the marshal”, the meaning is to give up the localization, in exchange for the victory of the whole situation. Sun Bin used this plan to help Tian Ji win the horse race and made the King of Qi respect him. To know when Sun Bin will show his power on the battlefield, please read next time: “Besiege Wei to Rescue Zhao”.
