Hello, everyone. Today I'm going to share with you the story of Zhang Huili, the author of Sun Zi Bing Fa Yu Thirty-Six Scriptures, and Liu Daming Bai. Chapter Twenty-Nine, Yu Qin Gu Zong. When Prince Jiao Shi decided to return to Linzi, Zou Ji advised him not to take the army back first, in case Tian Ji and Sun Bin would pick a quarrel between the two generals. General Fei also advised him not to take the army with him. He said that if anything happened in Linzi, the army in Chuidu could take care of it. So, Prince Jiao Shi only took General Gao and his Wei brothers back to Linzi. While Sun Bin was taking care of Prince Jiao Shi, the soldiers of Tian's army surrounded General Gao and his Wei brothers' barracks. At that time, General Gao and his Wei brothers were drinking and eating meat. Wei Zhong was so drunk that he wanted to go out to find a woman. As soon as he went out, Liangliang rushed in. She was shot in the shoulder and bleeding. Wei Zhong knew that the situation was not good, so he threw out two glasses of wine and put them in the room. Outside the room, Tian's army shouted, General Gao, Wei brothers, Prince Jiao Shi and Situ Luowang have been captured by the king. Come out and surrender quickly, or you will die. General Gao was very angry. I'm afraid he was tricked by Sun Bin again this time. Tian's army continued to shout, General Gao, don't be so unlucky. There are archers around the barracks. It's hard for you to escape. If you want to live, you have to surrender. Wei Bo caught a chicken and planned to rush out as a shield. General Gao stopped him and said, You can't rush. They have many people and archers. Wei Bo shouted, Wei Shu turned around and said, Can you not die or not die? Brother, look at me. Wei Shu walked to the door and responded to the shouting outside the door, The general outside the door is listening. We can surrender, but you have to keep your word and save our lives. Tian's soldiers shouted, Don't worry. I, Tian Guo, always keep my word. Wei Shu continued to say, Then please ask the general for an order from the King of Qi. Forgive us for not being guilty. Wei Bo shouted to Wei Shu, Brother, even if the King of Qi forgives us for not being guilty, we can't surrender. Wei Shu explained, I'm taking a break. The order will come soon. Wei Shu wanted to verify it himself. Tian Guo's general walked to the door, and put a bamboo stick into the hole in the door. Suddenly the door opened. Wei Bo pulled the general in, raised his hand and protected him. He said to the people behind him, Let's go. He led the general out of the barracks. The soldiers in the yard were shooting arrows. They found their own general in front of Wei Bo. They couldn't shoot. The soldiers rushed out of the barracks in a hurry. They threw a stone in both hands. The soldiers in the yard were blown away by the torches in their hands. Another stone was blown out. A dozen soldiers guarding the door were hit by the stone and fell to the ground. Wei Bo and others rushed out of the yard. They turned over the city wall at night. They ran a long distance, until the sky was bright. Wei Bo said to General Gao, General Gao, we have never been so embarrassed. Wei Zhong replied, It's all because you lied to the army. Wei Shu said, What do you think? General Gao wiped his sweat and said, I only have three taels of gold. If you don't mind, you can take it. Or you can catch me and give it to the King of Qi. He will reward you. You have some backbone. Wei Bo laughed. But you are worthless. Not even three taels of gold. General Gao was angry and said, If you want to get more rewards, stay and help me save the Prince and kill the King of Qi. Wei Zhong asked, Just the four of us? General Gao said, There are still our people in Linzi City. Wei Shu asked, Are you kidding? General Gao shook his head and said, No, we are just using him. Wei Zhong asked, Who is that? General Gao said, When the Prince left Linzi City, The people who stayed were all willing to die for the Prince. Wei Zhong asked Wei Bo, Brother, do you want to stay? Wei Bo had a plan in his heart. He said to General Gao, We will stay because you have some backbone. General Gao knelt on the ground and bowed his head. I thank you on behalf of the Prince. The Empress Dowager heard that the Prince was missing, and was captured by the King of Xuan. She came to the King of Xuan in a bad mood, and accused the King of Xuan of cursing him. Pi Jiang, How dare you deceive your mother, deceive your brothers, and deceive the world? If you do this, you will humiliate the ancestors. The ancestors will not forgive you. The King of Xuan said calmly, Empress Dowager, I did this for the ancestors. Not only will the ancestors not blame me, but they will also praise my behavior. The Empress Dowager was shocked. You used tricks to treat your mother, to treat your brothers. How could the ancestors approve of such behavior? The King of Xuan said, Empress Dowager, The ancestors created the country. No one is allowed to separate. The descendants of the ancestors should not betray the country. The Prince disappeared, betrayed the country, and became an enemy of the Qi State. The Empress Dowager did not allow her son to kill him, and had to use tricks to trick him back, and use him as a scapegoat. By doing this, not only does it maintain the stability of the country, but also disobeys the order of the mother. Don't the ancestors approve of me? The Empress Dowager was speechless, and said, I don't listen to your excuses. I only have one sentence. You are not allowed to kill the Prince. The King of Xuan said, Empress Dowager, I never wanted to kill the Prince. It was because I didn't want to kill him, so I used tricks to trick him. Stop talking. The Empress Dowager interrupted the King of Xuan. As long as you don't kill the Prince, it's enough. The Empress Dowager left, and the King of Xuan took a deep breath. Zhong Lichun walked out of the room, and said to the King of Xuan, The Empress Dowager is too rude to the King. If the King tolerates such a rude act, he will be punished. The King of Xuan said, I have caught the Prince. The Empress Dowager couldn't save the Prince even if she tried. The King of Xuan underestimated the Empress Dowager, and underestimated the Prince. The Prince was locked up in prison. He refused to eat or drink. He fought with his life. He had to see the Empress Dowager. The King of Xuan didn't want to let the Prince die, but he was worried that if the Prince died of starvation, he wouldn't be able to explain to the Empress Dowager. He had to agree to let the Empress Dowager meet with the teacher. When the Empress Dowager saw the teacher, she was lying on the floor of the prison. Her hair was messy, her eyes were dim, and her face was haggard. The Empress Dowager walked to the Prince's teacher, and puzzledly looked up and down. She asked, Are you my son's teacher? The Prince's teacher struggled to get up, looking at the Empress Dowager and praying. Mother, it's me. I'm the teacher. Tears immediately flowed from the Empress Dowager's eyes. She reached out her trembling hands, touching the Prince's teacher's haggard face and said, Teacher, my son, how did you become like this? Mother can't recognize you anymore. The Prince's teacher shed tears and cried. My son, I miss you, I miss you, I long for you, I long for you. The Empress Dowager held the Prince's teacher tightly in her hands, and cried with tears on her face. Mother won't leave you, I won't leave you again. The Empress Dowager couldn't wait any longer. She wanted the Prince to release the teacher immediately, and let the teacher live by her side, to take care of her and protect her. When she saw the Prince, she said to him, Wang Er, if you still have the Empress Dowager in your eyes, release the teacher immediately. The Prince was in a bad mood, but soon he calmed down and said, Empress Dowager, the Prince's teacher is a rebel, and is a threat to the country. He should not be punished. It is very forgiving not to kill him. If you release him, The Empress Dowager said, I don't care about the law of the country, I only care about my family. Since you are the teacher's brother, you should be kind and let him out. The King of Qixuan said, Wang Er is not only the teacher's brother, but also his king. As a brother, Wang Er is already a hostage to him. As a king, Wang Er must not allow the traitor to be carefree. The Empress Dowager was angry and cold. So you don't want to release the teacher? Yes. If I release the Prince's teacher, I can't explain to the court, to the people, to the society. Okay. Lock me in the prison, too. I want to be with the teacher. The King of Qixuan said, The Empress Dowager, you can't do this. You are unfilial. Then release the teacher. If you don't release the teacher, I'll go to prison with him. The King of Qixuan had no choice, but to ask Sun Bin to give him an idea. Sun Bin vowed to release the Prince's teacher. The King of Qixuan hesitated. After the Prince's teacher comes out, he won't give up. He will make trouble. If he escapes to Wei, it will be difficult to catch him again. Sun Bin smiled slightly. After the Prince's teacher comes out, the King pretends to be helpless to the Empress Dowager. He didn't ask about the Prince's teacher's actions. He thought that if he had a chance, he wouldn't leave Linzi. Once the King caught him, he could lock him in prison again. In this way, the Empress Dowager had nothing to say. General Gao heard that the Prince's teacher was released from prison. He immediately brought the three brothers of Wei to see the teacher. The teacher was grateful to the three brothers. When he was in trouble, he was still loyal. He arranged for the three brothers to live in his palace. He also found beauties for them. He told the three brothers to do as he was told. Don't go out and make trouble without permission, or you will ruin his plan. After the Prince's teacher arranged for the three brothers, he went to see Zou Ji again. He forgave Zou Ji for not being able to see through Sun Bin's conspiracy. He asked Zou Ji to continue to contact the government secretively. One day, he will help him control the government and stabilize the country. The Prince's teacher was in a hurry. Tian Ji was worried about him. He told Sun Bin, Zou Ji sent someone to tell us that the Prince's teacher tried to kill Wei Shixin. General Gao secretly called for help. The brothers of Wei have returned to Linzi. They want to assassinate the King. Sir, we can't just wait. We should try to stop the Prince from disappearing and do nothing. Sun Bin said, Waiting is the best action now. I'm worried that if we make a mistake for a while, the consequences will be unimaginable. Sir, we should find an excuse to catch the assassin. He will find the assassin again. Then force the assassin to confess. With the assassin's confession, we can put the Prince's teacher in prison again. The Empress Dowager will force the King to release him. If you say so, we will have no way to deal with the Prince's teacher. If you want to catch him, let the Prince's teacher go. Let him do it himself. Kill him when he does it. I'm always worried that it's too risky. If you want to win, sometimes you have to take the risk. The brothers of Wei live in the Prince's mansion, watch the beauties dance, eat meat and drink wine. They live a good life. But every day is a little boring. They are used to the wilderness. No matter how good the wine is, no matter how beautiful the woman is, there is no taste. They decided to take a walk on the street. There is sound in Zhiliao. Welcome to continue listening. The streets of Linzi are full of cars and water. It's bustling. People are of all colors. The stall is rich and colorful. The three brothers of Wei live on the street. They regretted not listening to the Prince's teaching. They stayed in the house for so many days. At that time, the carriage of Sun Bin happened to pass by the street. The passers-by greeted Sun Bin respectfully. The three brothers had never seen Sun Bin before. It is said that the person sitting on the carriage is Sun Bin. Sun Bin accidentally saw the three brothers with different images. Their murderous eyes were deeply imprinted in his mind. Ever since he saw Sun Bin, Wei Bo thought, why not assassinate Sun Bin first? If he killed Sun Bin, he could still be famous all over the world. He told Wei Zhong and Wei Shu about his idea. Wei Shu disagreed. Because the Prince's teaching didn't let them act on their own. He was afraid of Sun Bin. I'm not afraid. Wei Bo said he didn't believe it. Wei Shu said his concern. We are hired by the Prince. If he doesn't give the order, even if we kill Sun Bin, we won't get a big reward. Humph! If we kill Sun Bin, I'll go to the Prince for a reward. If he doesn't give a big reward, I won't let him go. Brother, it's better to tell the Prince. If we tell him, we can't kill him. Brother, let's do it. Wei Zhong also agreed to kill Sun Bin. He told Wei Shu, after all, killing people is worse than sleeping women. A full moon hung in the quiet night sky. People were asleep. The streets were so quiet and unguarded. The three brothers turned over the wall of Tian's mansion and followed the wall to Sun Bin's place. They walked into the room without opening the door. There was a man sitting in the room. He was sleeping on the table. The candlelight on the table shone on him. The clothes on him were the clothes that Sun Bin wore on the street. Wei Bo walked to the man and smiled coldly. Mr. Sun, don't sleep. It's time to go. He said. He pushed the man. Wei Bo felt something was wrong. He grabbed the man's collar and pulled it up from the table. It was a fake man. The three brothers turned around and left the room. The three brothers ran out without seeing any obstacles in Tian's mansion. They ran back to the mansion in one breath. They were so anxious. Wei Zhong was angry and said. Someone must have leaked the news. Wei Bo shook his head and said. It's impossible. The three of us know about it. Sun Bin may not know that we are going to kill him. Wei Shu thought for a moment and said. If he knew, he would have been buried in the yard. Wei Bo nodded and said. But since he didn't know, why did he put a fake man in the room? Wei Shu thought smartly and said. The fake man has been in his room all the time. The real man has another place to live. This is called preventing danger. Wei Zhong said. It makes sense. It's a pity that the three brothers didn't think of it in advance. Do you think we should tell the young master about this? Wei Bo asked. Wei Shu said. We can't tell him. If we tell the young master, he will definitely not dare to kill the King of Qi before or after his death. We don't know how long we have to wait. Wei Zhong said the opposite. We should tell the young master. We have alerted Sun Bin. Sun Bin must strengthen defense. If the young master doesn't know this, it will be difficult to act rashly. Wei Shu said. Sun Bin strengthens his defense. He must ignore the defense of the palace. If we go to kill the King of Qi, won't we be more confident? Wei Bo thought Wei Shu was right. Sun Bin didn't sleep all night. He has been playing chess with Tian Ji. In the daytime, from the terrible sight of the three brothers, he predicted that they might fight at night. After the three brothers left, he told Tian Ji about the three brothers' assassination. Tian Ji blamed Sun Bin. Why didn't you tell me such a big thing in advance? I didn't want to serve the troops in the yard. If I caught them alive, I would be in trouble. Sun Bin laughed. That's why I can't tell you. I don't want to alarm the young master. I will continue to relax him so that he can take action as soon as possible. If we fail this time, they will come again. Tian Ji looked at Sun Bin. If he didn't have a premonition this time, he would have been dead. We must kill these assassins. They are too dangerous. If we kill the assassins, we will scare the young master away. If he escapes to Wei State again, it will be more difficult to kill him. What do you think we should do? The assassins will come at any time. If we make a mistake, we will regret it. Sun Bin smiled. General, don't worry. I have made up my mind. We will leave Linzi and live in my fief, Wuchang. It will be safe. Tian Ji nodded. Okay, you can leave tomorrow. I will stay in Linzi. You can't stay. You have to leave, too. If I leave, who will protect the king? I want to make the young master disappear so that we have no intention of protecting the king. In this way, he will take action as soon as possible. Then we can get rid of him as soon as possible. The news of Tian Ji and Sun Bin leaving Linzi was soon known by the young master. It's time for him to take action. But we must find out the reason why Tian Ji and Sun Bin left Linzi so as not to fall into the trap again. He asked Zou Ji to investigate this matter. Zou Ji found out soon. Zou Ji told him that someone sneaked into Tian's mansion last night to assassinate Sun Bin. After being discovered by Sun Bin, he and Tian Ji left Linzi. It must be related to this. The young master said, Zou Ji shook his head and said, But the king was afraid of the empress dowager and was soft-hearted to the young master. They once showed a cold heart and refused to intervene in the fight for the throne. Last night, they met the assassin again. They must have thought that it was not worth dying in the hands of the assassin. It's better to leave Linzi temporarily. This is not the right place. Mr. Zou is right. But as far as I know, no one in Linzi wants to kill them and no one dares to kill them. Don't you want to kill them? But I didn't do it. Young master, don't you believe me? What do you mean? It is said that the assassin who went to Tian's mansion last night and killed Sun Bin are three people. Except for the Wei brothers, who else can these three people be? It can't be the Wei brothers. Without my order, they won't act without permission. Zou Ji sighed and said, If you don't believe me, you should believe me. Who asked me to deceive you to Linzi and risk my life? The young master told the truth. Mr. Zou, don't get me wrong. I will confront the Wei brothers face to face. Zou Ji pretended to be indifferent. Forget it. For such a trifle, you don't have to be so serious. Mr. Zou said, This is not a trifle. If the Wei brothers are not assassins, Sun Bin's departure from Linzi is likely to be a conspiracy. Mr. Zou sent someone to call the Wei brothers to interrogate them about the assassination of Sun Bin. The Wei brothers denied it. Wei Zhong said to Mr. Zou, Mr. Zou, we have been out of the mansion for a few days. How could we assassinate Sun Bin? Mr. Zou said, It doesn't matter. I won't blame you. Wei Zhou said, It doesn't matter. We are not afraid of your blame. Zou Ji said, It's not about who you are. Others don't have the courage. Wei Zhong said, Although we have the courage, without Mr. Zou's order, we will never show our courage. Zou Ji said, Do you dare to swear? Wei Shu said, It doesn't matter. You don't dare. Zou Ji hit them on purpose. It doesn't matter. I swear. Wei Shu pulled out his sword and pointed to the sky. If I go to assassinate Sun Bin, I will die in... Wei Bu, who didn't speak at that time, took the sword in Wei Shu's hand and said very seriously to him, You can lie about other things, but you can't lie about swearing to God. He turned around and said to Mr. Zou, Mr. Zou, Last night, we did assassinate Sun Bin. It's a pity that we didn't succeed. If we disturb your deployment, we are willing to be punished. Mr. Zou looked happy. I will not only punish you, but also reward you. The three brothers looked at Mr. Zou in confusion. Mr. Zou said, Sun Bin and Tian Ji were scared away by you. He took the throne and put it in his bag. Wei Bu came at the right time and said, Mr. Zou, we will kill the King of Qi today. Mr. Zou was proud and said, No, we won't kill him. We besieged the palace and forced Pi Jiang to hand over the throne. In this way, we will avoid a lot of trouble in the future. Mr. Zou, General Gao and the Wei brothers led General Gao's old troops to surround the palace. General Gao was as strong as a cow. He shouted loudly at the palace guards standing on the palace walls. Please tell the King that if the King does not comply with Mr. Zou's request, we will attack the palace. The palace guards responded, General Gao, the King said even if he died, he would not give the throne to the traitor. Then we are sorry. General Gao held a sword in his hand. More than a dozen traitors rushed to the palace gate in a huge wooden carriage. As the bell rang, archers appeared on the palace walls. Swordsmen from all over the place shot at the traitors under the palace walls one after another. The traitors were in a hurry. At that time, there was a great chaos. The traitors had not yet regained consciousness. The sound of war drums was heard behind them. The sound of shouting was even more shocking. General Gao understood that they had been tricked again. He pushed the soldiers in the carriage away and ran away in a carriage. The Wei brothers followed him. General Gao's subordinates ran around in a mess. Mr. Zou failed to escape. He was trapped under the palace walls by the soldiers of Tianguo. Archers opened the bow in his hand and aimed at Mr. Zou on the royal carriage. A sword flew over him. Mr. Zou fell down with a heavy sword and fell out of the carriage. Mr. Zou never thought he would die. He struggled to get up and go to see the Empress Dowager. He only listened to Tianguo's order. Kill him. Don't let him live. The soldiers' weapons were given to Mr. Zou at the same time. The Sixteen Stratagems of the Thirty-Six Stratagems mean to eliminate the enemy in a more powerful way. The intention is to relax the enemy temporarily and make the enemy relax his vigilance. Then move in four stages to annihilate the enemy. Sun Bin was expelled from the rebellion. He used this strategy to relax the Prince's teacher and eliminate him during his rebellion. What will happen next? Please stay tuned for the next episode.
