三十六计(Thirty-Six Stratagems)-第二计 围魏救赵Besiege Wei to Rescue Zhao 原文 Content 共敌不如分敌;敌阳不如敌阴。 英文注释:When the enemy is too strong to attack directly, then attack something he holds dear. Know that in all things he cannot be superior. Somewhere there is a gap in the armor, a weakness that can be attacked instead. 探源 Origin 英文:In 354 BC, the state of Wei attacked Zhao and laid siege to its capital Handan. Zhao turned to Qi for help, but the Qi general Sun Bin determined it would be unwise to meet the army of Wei head on, so he instead attacked their capital at Daliang. When the Wei general Pang Juan heard that the capital was being attacked,he rushed his army back to defend the capital. The army of Wei retreated in haste, and the tired troops were ambushed and defeated at the Battle of Guiling. Zhao was thus rescued while Pang Juan barely escaped back to Wei to recoup his losses.(引用自维基百科(Wikipedia)英文版) 中文:公元前354年,魏国攻打赵国,并围困其都城邯郸。赵国急忙向齐国求救,但齐国军师孙膑断定与魏军兵锋相对非明智之举,于是转而突袭其在大梁的都城。魏国大将庞涓听见都城被围,便急忙回师解救。魏军慌忙撤退,兵困马乏之际又中了埋伏,在桂陵之战中大败。赵国因此得救,庞涓则勉强收拾残部逃回了魏国。 |
