Bin Sun information

Sun Bin, a strategist of Qi State in China during the Warring States Period, was a Huaxia nationality. Born between A and Gan (now north of Juancheng County, Heze City, Shandong Province), he is a descendant of Sun Wu.

Bin Sun, a former classmate of Pang Juan, was physically disabled by Pang Juan. Later, he went to Qi with the help of an envoy of Qi, and was appointed as a military adviser, helping Tian Ji, the general of Qi, to defeat Pang Juan twice, winning the battle of Guiling and Maling, which laid the foundation for Qi's hegemony. Song Huizong addressed Sun Bin as Wu Qingbo, one of the seventy-two generals of Wu Song Temple.

In the battle of Yiling, Wei defeated Han Jiangkong's army in Nanliang (west of Ruzhou City, Henan Province) and Huo (southwest of Ruzhou City, Henan Province) and sent messengers to Qi for help. Sun Bin once again used the tactics of besieging Wei to save Zhao, and led an army to attack Wei Du's girders. After this war, Wei was greatly weakened and lost its dominant position.

He emphasized that war is an important means to solve problems in a country's political life, and only with strong force as a guarantee can the country be stable and prosperous.

However, he opposed militancy, pointing out that victory in combat can save endangered countries, but defeat will also lose land and endanger the country, and militancy will inevitably lead to extinction. Therefore, bring disgrace to oneself must be treated with caution and must not be used or abused. Sun Bin advocates actively preparing for war and winning, and suppressing war with war.

He pointed out that political and economic conditions are the basis for deciding the outcome of a war, and "Qiang Bing" must be a "rich country" first, and only with strong political and economic backing can it "be prepared and move".
