Sima Rangju is a descendant of Tian Wanzhi.During the time of Duke Jing of Qi, Jin attacked A and Zhen, and Yan invaded the river, and the Qi division was defeated.King Jing is in trouble.Yan Ying recommended Tian Rangju and said: "Although Rangju is a villain of the Tian family, his humanities can attract people and his martial arts can intimidate the enemy. I hope you can try it." General, the generals defend the division of Yan and Jin.Rang Ju said: "The ministers are humble, the king is promoted to the ranks of the army, and the top officials are above, the soldiers are not attached, the people do not believe, and the people have little power. I would like to be favored by the king, respected by the country, and to supervise the army. Yes." So Jing Gong promised to send Zhuang Jia to go.After resigning, he made an appointment with Zhuang Jia and said, "I will meet at the military gate in the middle of the day." Rang Ju rushed to the army first, and set up a watch to wait for Jia.Jia Su was arrogant, thinking that it was not too urgent to take his own army as a prisoner; his relatives sent him around and stayed for a drink.In the middle of the day, Jia does not arrive.Rang Ju missed the vote, entered, marched and reined in troops, and declared restraint.The constraints are established, at night, Zhuang Jia even.Rangju said: "What will be the later period?" Jia Xie said: "I don't want to send it off to the relatives of the doctor, so I stay." If you are in a hurry, forget yourself. Now the enemy country is deeply invading, the country is in turmoil, the soldiers are exposed to the environment, the king's bed is restless, the food is not happy, and the life of the people is hanging on the king. What is it? What do you think about those who come later?" Confrontation: "Behead." Zhuang Jia was afraid, so he sent people to report to Duke Jing, please save him.In the past, there was no time to rebel, so he beheaded Zhuang Jia to favor the three armies.The soldiers of the three armies all trembled.For a long time, Jinggong sent envoys to pardon Jia and gallop into the army.Rang Ju said: "The general is in the army, and the emperor's order is not acceptable." Asked Junzheng, "What is the law of the three armies?" Zheng said: "Beheaded." The messenger was terrified.Rang Ju said: "The king's envoy must not be killed." He beheaded his servant, the left son-in-law of the chariot, and the left steward of the horse, in order to favor the three armies.Send an envoy to return the report, and then go.Soldiers once left the well stove to ask about food and medicine for diseases, and followed them by themselves.Take the general's food and enjoy it with the soldiers, and share the food with the soldiers equally.The weakest ones will rein in after three days.The sick all seek to do something, and strive to fight for it.Master Jin heard of it, so let's go.Master Yan heard it, and solved it by passing the water.So he pursued it, and then took the former territory of the dead and led the troops back.Before arriving in the country, release the brigade, release the restraint, swear an alliance and then enter the city.Jing Gong greeted him with all the senior officials in the suburbs, worked with his teachers to make a ceremony, and then went back to bed.Seeing Rangju, he is respected as Da Sima.The Tian family respected Qi day by day.

But the doctor Bao, Gao, and the country's subordinates harmed him, and blamed Jinggong.Jing Gong retreated from Rangju, and died of illness.The disciples of Tian beggars and Tian Bao complained about Gao, Guo and so on.Afterwards, Jitian often killed Duke Jian and wiped out the clans of Gaozi and Guozi.Zhichang's great-grandson He, because he established himself as the prestige king of Qi, used his troops to act prestige, and let go of the law of Rangju, and the princes came to Qi.

King Wei of Qi envoyed the doctor to follow up the ancient Sima's Art of War and attached Rangju to it, so it was called Sima Rangju's Art of War.

Tai Shigong said: I have read Sima's Art of War, and it is profound and far-reaching. Although three generations of conquests have failed to fulfill its righteousness, such as its writing, it is also rare.Ruofu Rangju, who is only a teacher of a small country, why don't he give in to Sima's art of war?Since there are many Sima's tactics in the world, regardless of the reason, the biography of Rangju is passed down.
