《容斋随笔·卷十三·孙膑减灶》
孙膑战胜庞涓这件事，军事家们都认为是出奇制胜的计谋，我偏偏对此有些疑问。史书记载： 齐军开进魏国领土挖了十万个炉灶，第二天五万个，第三天两万个。 
孙膑胜庞涓之事，兵家以为奇谋，予独有疑焉，云： 齐军入魏地为十万灶，明日为五万灶，又明日为二万灶。 
Military strategists all believe that Sun Bin’s victory over Pang Juan was a strategy of winning by surprise, but I have some doubts about it. Historical records show that: The Qi army advanced into the territory of the Wei State and dug 100,000 stoves, 50,000 the next day, and 20,000 the third day.
