Source: From "Sun Tzu Siege Wei to Save Zhao", the siege of Wei to save Zhao originally refers to the method of the Qi army besieging Wei during the Warring States period, forcing Wei to withdraw the troops attacking Zhao and saving Zhao. The latter refers to the tactic of attacking the enemy's rear strongholds in order to force the attacking enemy to retreat.

Moral of the story: Sun Bin.

It was because he saw the emptiness inside the Wei State that he came up with a way to take advantage of the weakness of the Wei State, so as to achieve the goal of saving the Zhao State. Therefore, avoiding the real and hitting the key point is a good way to break the siege. Just like in life, sometimes when you encounter difficulties head-on and can't solve them, it is more effective to reverse thinking and solve problems from the source of things.

Of course, this is necessary to know oneself and the other, and see that there is a gap in the matter, so as not to miss the opportunity. As thirty-six counts.

Wei Wei rescued Zhao in the way of reverse thinking, with the method of seeking the near and far on the surface, bypassing the surface of the problem, and solving the problem from the origin of things, so as to achieve the magical effect of winning in one move.

The siege of Wei to save Zhao originally refers to the method of besieging Wei during the Warring States period, forcing Wei to withdraw its troops to attack Zhao and saving Zhao. The latter refers to the tactic of attacking the enemy's rear strongholds in order to force the attacking enemy to retreat. It is now borrowed to refer to the tactic of outflanking the enemy's rear to force him to withdraw his troops.

Later, Wei Fa Zhao, Zhao anxious, please save Yu Qi. King Qi Wei wanted to send Sun Bin to thank him and said: "Those who are left behind in the punishment are not allowed.

So he took Tian Ji as the general, and his grandson as the teacher, lived in the chariot, and sat as a strategy. Tian Ji wanted to lead the troops to Zhao, and Sun Tzu said: "The husband does not control the messy and entangled, the rescuer does not fight, the criticism is excessive, and the shape is forbidden, then he is self-relieved."

Now Liang and Zhao are attacking, and the light soldiers will be exhausted outside, and the old and weak will be on the inside. If you don't lead the troops to go to the beam, according to its streets, rush to its side, he will release Zhao and save himself. It was I who relieved the siege of Zhao in one fell swoop and took advantage of Wei Ye.

Tian Ji followed. Wei Guo went to Handan, fought with Qi in Guiling, and broke the Liang army.

After that, Wei attacked Zhao, and Zhao was in a critical situation and asked for help from Qi. King Qi Wei wanted to take Sun Bin as a general, but Sun Bin refused and said: "I have been punished (膑刑:

Dig out the kneecaps) are not competent. So he used Tian Ji as a general, and Sun Bin as his military advisor, sitting in a chariot (a kind of covered cart in ancient times), sitting and giving advice.

Tian Ji wanted to lead troops to Zhao State, Sun Bin said: "(Those) people who untie the messy and entangled silk threads are not to pull the whole thing, and to persuade the brawlers not to participate in the fight, avoid the fierce places and go straight to the empty places, so that the (tense) situation is contained, and the matter will be resolved naturally." Now that the state of Liang (Wei State, the capital city of Daliang, hence also called Liang) attacked the State of Zhao, the elite soldiers must have been used to fight abroad, while the old and weak soldiers remained at home.

You might as well lead your troops to quickly approach Daliang, control the communication roads of Wei, and attack the weak places of Wei, it will definitely give up attacking Zhao to save itself. In this way, we will break the siege of Zhao in one fell swoop and sit on the Wei State to make mistakes. Tian Ji followed the advice.

The Wei army really left Handan and engaged the Qi army at Guiling, (the Qi army) broke the Liang army.
