Yilin Verse

臏詐龐子,夷竈盡毀。兵伏卒發,矢至如雨。魏師驚亂,將獲為虜,涓死樹下。

Sun Bin deceived Pang Juan; the cooking-fires were dismantled and destroyed. Troops concealed, suddenly unleashed; arrows fell like rain. Wei's army, shocked and broken — the general was captured as prisoner. Juan died beneath a tree.

— Jiao Yanshou, Yilin (Forest of Changes), 1st century BCE
