Use another kind of thinking to win (圍魏救趙)
During the Warring States Period in China, various kingdoms often attacked each other for their own interests.
Once, the Kingdom of Wei suddenly sent troops to attack the capital of the Kingdom of Zhao. The Kingdom of Zhao could not withstand the violent offensive of the Kingdom of Wei, and the situation was very critical.
The king of the Zhao Kingdom hurriedly sent envoys to the Qi Kingdom to request support.
The king of the Qi Kingdom dispatched an army to go to the Zhao Kingdom to help resist the army of the Wei Kingdom.
But at this time there was a very clever general, his name was (Sun Bin).
He put forward his opinion. (Sun Bin) said.
If we see two people fighting on the road,
What we should do is not to join this fight.
Then think about how to make these two people stop by themselves.
The army of the Wei Kingdom has now surrounded the capital of the Zhao Kingdom.
After our army rushed to the Kingdom of Zhao for a long distance, it immediately confronted the army of the Kingdom of Wei who had been resting for several days.
Our odds of winning will be small.
So I suggest that our army should raid the capital of the Wei Kingdom.
When the generals of the Wei Kingdom heard the news of danger in the capital, they would definitely mobilize the army back to defense.
After their army rushed back to the Wei Kingdom, our army had been resting for several days.
I judge that we will defeat the Wei Kingdom, and at the same time we will smoothly resolve the crisis in the Zhao Kingdom.
Qi Kingdom proceeded according to (Sun Bin)'s plan, and the result was just as Sun Bin expected.
This idiom is used to describe when facing a conflict, instead of facing the opponent head-on, but attacking the opponent's weakness to force the opponent to save himself and have reached a strategy of defeating the opponent.
Dear friend, what inspiration or thoughts did you have after hearing this story.
Is (Sun Bin)’s roundabout war strategy more effective than frontal conflict? Do you think Sun Bin’s thinking logic can be used in those areas of our lives?
I hope this story will give you some new gains.
圍魏救趙(Use another kind of thinking to win)
在中國的戰國時代，各個王國之間為了自己的利益，經常彼此攻打。
有一次，魏王國突然出兵攻打趙王國的首都，趙王國抵擋不住魏王國猛烈的攻勢，情況十分危急。
趙王國的國王急忙派遣使者去齊王國請求支援。
齊王國國王便派遣軍隊準備前往趙王國去協助抵擋魏王國的軍隊。
但這時候有一個很聰明的將軍，他的名字叫做孫臏。
他提出了自己的看法。孫臏說。
我們如果看見路上有兩個人在打架，
我們應該做的是不加入這場打鬥。
然後思考如何讓這兩個人自己主動停止。
魏王國的軍隊現在已經包圍了趙王國的首都。
我們的大軍長途奔波到趙王國後，就立刻要與已經休息好幾天的魏王國的軍隊對決。
我們的勝算將會很小。
因此我建議我們的軍隊應該突襲魏王國的首都。
魏王國的將軍聽到首都遭遇危險的消息時、一定會調動軍隊回防。
他們的大軍長途奔波回到魏王國後，那時候我們的軍隊已經休息好幾天了。
我判斷我們將會打敗魏王國，同時我們也會順利解除趙王國的危機。
齊王國便照著(孫臏)的計畫進行，結果就像孫臏所預料的一樣。
這句成語被用來形容在面對衝突的時候，不正面迎戰對手，而是攻擊對手的弱點迫使對方自救、已達成戰勝對手的策略。
親愛的朋友，你聽完這個故事有怎樣的啟發或有怎樣的想法呢。
孫臏迂迴的戰爭策略，是否比正面衝突更加有效呢?你覺得孫臏的思考邏輯，可以運用在我們的生活中那些地方嗎?
我期待這故事能讓你產生一些新的收穫。
