Sun Tzu's Art of War and Thirty-Six Stratagems

Pang Juan came out of the mountain before Sun Bin, and Gui Guzi passed down the lost "Art of War" to Sun Bin alone. Pang Juan led the Wei army to a stalemate with the Chu army in Fangcheng. Sun Bin quoted "Sun Tzu's Art of War" and proposed a plan to extract the ladder from the house, and Pang Juan defeated the Chu army. Pang Juan was jealous of Sun Bin's talent, so he framed Sun Bin with a hidden knife in his smile, and Sun Bin was sentenced to death. Pang Juan's counselor Gongsun Yue told Sun Bin about Pang Juan's plot in order to get the beautiful girl Zhong Liqiu. Sun Bin pretended to be ill and burned all the copies of the Art of War. Zhong Liqiu hoped that Sun Bin was not really crazy and confessed his true feelings to Sun Bin, but Sun Bin was still crazy. Chongjuan, who was secretly monitoring Sun Bin, believed him. Zhong Liqiu's sister Zhong Lichun learned the truth about Sun Bin's pretending to be crazy and came to Sun Bin's hometown of Qi alone, asking Qi General Tian Ji to rescue Sun Bin. Tian Ji sent his retainer Qin Hua to the state of Wei. With the help of Qin Hua, Sun Bin escaped from the state of Wei with the golden cicada. Tian Ji loved horses and made a heavy bet on horse racing with the King of Qi. Sun Bin used Li Dai Tao Zang's plan to make Tian Ji win. Tian Ji told King Qi Wei of Sun Bin's plan, and King Wei of Qi favored Sun Bin. Sun Bin commanded the Qi army, surrounded Wei and rescued Zhao, captured the thieves and captured the king, and defeated Pang Juan three times while waiting for work. Pang Juan sent Gongsun Yue to sneak into Qi State, and Gongsun Yue took advantage of him.
