A native of Ajuancheng in Qi State, he mainly lived During the period of King Qi Wei, it is said that Sun Bin was a descendant of Sun Wu. In his early years, he was not only proficient in the art of war, but also very interested in vertical and horizontal skills, so he studied in Guiguzi when he was young. As for Sun Bin, it is true. Is his name Sun Bin? His name seems too coincidental with his experience.
"Bitter" is also written as "patella" and "cut" in the dictionary, which refers to the human kneecap and means ancient times. A cruel punishment, that is, the punishment of removing the kneecaps. Sima Qian's "Historical Records" records: "After Sun Wu died, more than a hundred years later there was Sun Bin. Between you and your wife, you will be the descendants of Sun Wu. "He did not mention Sun Bin's real name here, and we have no way of verifying it. "Historical Records" and "The Biography of Sun Tzu Wu Qi" only mentioned Wu Qi and did not mention Sun Wu. Therefore, the books of the past dynasties are directly named "Sun Bin". Sun Bin is the descendant's name. His name. So, why did Sun Bin have his knees removed? This matter has to start with his classmate Pang Juan.
It turns out that Pang Juan and Sun Bin were both disciples of Guiguzi, and they studied together in Guiguzi. In fact, Pang Juan's homework is not too bad, but compared with Sun Bin, Pang Juan is very jealous of Sun Bin and is afraid that Sun Bin will steal his job in the future, so he pretends to be brothers with Sun Bin. Sun Bin was secretly plotting against Pang Juan. Sun Bin did not realize Pang Juan's cunning and insidiousness. On the eve of graduation, he made an agreement, "Be rich and don't forget each other." He promised that whoever wins first would recommend each other.
Later, Pang Juan became a general of the Wei State. With his own skills, he won the admiration of King Wei Hui and was appointed as a general. Later, with the help of several wars, he won the favor of King Wei Hui, so he quickly occupied the position. Although Pang Juan was satisfied with his performance and status, he felt uncomfortable when he thought of Sun Bin as a talent and a great threat to him. Once Sun Bin went to other countries, Pang Juan felt uneasy. Secretly determined to lure Sun Bin to Wei and get rid of him.
Sun Bin was studying hard in the mountains. One day, he suddenly received a letter from Pang Juan inviting him to Wei as a general. . Sun Bin was very envious when he saw Pang Juan's description of his life and achievements, and was very grateful to Pang Juan for his recommendation, because he finally had a chance to display his talents.
Sun Bin packed his bags and went to Wei. When he first arrived in Wei, Pang Juan personally received Sun Bin, held a banquet, and put him in a good place. However, Sun Bin waited at Pang Juan's house for many days, but Sun Bin did not see him. He didn't mention it, and he didn't feel embarrassed to ask. So, Sun Bin waited day after day, until one day, Sun Bin was suddenly awakened by a rapid knock on the door, and a nightmare followed. >The soldiers who pushed in the door tied up Sun Bin and dragged him out without asking. Being pushed by the soldiers, Sun Bin didn't know what to do. He shouted as he walked: "Why are you arresting me? What's wrong with me? "The soldier replied that he had committed the crime of adultery with the state of Qi, and King Wei Hui punished him by licking his feet to embarrass him. When Sun Bin heard this, it was like a bolt from the blue. After he suddenly woke up, he defended himself loudly, but it was too late. The soldiers pulled out their swords, cut off both of Sun Bin's kneecaps, and left him to die in a pig pen. Later, thanks to Sun Bin's acting like a fool, he was able to escape. He went to Qi and hid in Qi. During these years, he not only studied the art of war more diligently, but also helped Qi become a great power in the Central Plains.
