The Art of War

Sun Tzu was a native man of Ch'i. He trained a troop of court women. He executed those that did not obey his orders as an example. The Sovereign was not happy at the death of his favorite concubines. Sun Tzu repeated his orders. The women obeyed without the slightest noise.

Sun Pin gave a man advice on winning a bet and said to "Match your worst against his best,Your best against his second best and your second best against his worst." Therefor,the man won the bet against the king. The man won 1000 gold and a place in the army. The man became rich because Sun Ping had been schooled by Sun Tzu in these matters. 

Sun Tzu was,at that time,defending the capitol of Ta Liang. The Wei and Chao were at another stalemate. The two attacked at once and the Wei won. This was because of Sun Tzu's guidance. Sun Tzu was very brilliant.
