"I am proud when I meet a sheep, but I am embarrassed when I meet a horse" is a prophecy that Guiguzi said to disciple Pang Juan in the Warring States Period. Pang Juan came to Wei after leaving Guiguzi. First of all, he went to Xiangwangcuo's home and talked with Wangcuo about the art of war. Wang Cuo was very interested and recommended him to Wei Huiwang.
When Pang Juan entered the DPRK, he was just catching up with Wang Wei for lunch when the bubble man sent a steamed sheep. Pang Juan was very happy because Mr. Wang said, I am proud to meet a sheep. It seems that it's time to get rich from now on. Sure enough, he was promoted step by step and was reused by Wang Wei to command the army.
Later, Pang Juan was led to Maling Road by Sun Bin and set an ambush in the ravine. Pang Juan also died under the disorderly arrows, which is the language of "meeting a horse and dying".
Extended data
In the historical novel Historical Records of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, Pang Juan appeared in Chapter 87, "Talking about Qin Yang's political reform and saying that Sun Bin went down the mountain in Guiguzi". Sun Bin and Sun Bin were both disciples of Guiguzi. Pang Juan was eager to go down the mountain to be an official, and Sun Bin saw him off, and the two left with tears in their eyes.
The next night, Guiguzi handed the lost Art of War to Sun Bin, and Sun Bin learned it three days later. Pang Juan served as an official in Wei, served as a marshal in Wei under the recommendation of Wang Cuo, and established the meritorious military service. When traveling to Wei, he recommended Sun Bin. So Wei Huiwang ordered Pang Juan to write a letter and take a gift to meet Sun Bin in Ghost Valley.
Guiguzi calculated that Sun Bin was doomed in the future, so he named Sun Guo. In Chapter 88, "Sun Bin pretends to eliminate evil and Pang Juan defeats Guilin", Wei Huiwang wants to test Sun Bin's talent and orders Sun Bin to practice the law. Sun Bin knows Pang Juan's disposal method like the back of his hand, which can be cracked. And Sun Bin's disposal, Pang Juan didn't know. Pang Juan then asked Sun Bin privately. After Sun Bin told him, Pang Juan first reported to Wei Huiwang. Wei Huiwang asked Sun Bin again and got the same answer, so he thought they were equally talented.
But Pang Juan knew that Sun Bin's talent was far superior to his own, so he designed to frame Sun Bin for adultery with Qi, flog and hang Sun Bin, then pretended to be a good man, healed and took care of Sun Bin, and tricked him into writing The Art of War and its annotations. Sun Bin was informed by his entourage, and when he learned the truth, he pretended to be crazy and lied to Pang Juan. With the help of Chunyu Kun and Bird Slip, Sun Bin fled to Qi and lived under Tian Ji. Pang Juan thought that Sun Bin committed suicide by jumping into a well, and did not pursue it.
Wei Huiwang ordered Pang Juan to attack Zhao, recapture Zhongshan, and Pang Juan directly attacked Handan, forcing Zhao to cede territory. So Wei Huiwang ordered Pang Juan to take five hundred men to attack Zhao. Zhao Chenghou dedicated Sun Yat-sen's hometown to Qi and asked Qi to send troops to help. Tian Ji was appointed as the general and Sun Bin as the strategist to save Zhao. On the battlefield, Tian Ji set an "inverted eight-door array". Pang Juan, led by Sun Bin, failed to break the array and lost twenty thousand people. Pang Juan learned that Sun Bin was not dead and retreated overnight. Qi won the battle of Guiling.
Zou Ji was jealous of the exploits of Tian Ji and Sun Bin and accepted bribes from Pang Juan, so he sent Gong Sun Yue to frame Tian Ji. Tian Ji surrendered the relieving, and Sun Bin resigned as a military adviser to dispel Qi Weiwang's doubts. After Qi Weiwang's death, Qi Xuanwang succeeded to the throne, learned of Tian Ji's grievances, and reinstated the two officials. The rest of the records are basically consistent with the historical records.
