If you give it, the enemy will follow it; if you give it, the enemy will take it. Move it rightly and treat it with surprise.

Therefore, those who are good at fighting seek the power and do not blame the people, so they can release the people and let the power flow. Those who let the power take control of the people are like turning trees and stones.

The nature of wood and stone: when it is at ease, it is still; when it is dangerous, it moves; when it is square, it stops, and when it is round, it moves. Therefore, those who are good at fighting fight against the people, just like turning a round stone on a mountain of thousands of feet.

Potential.

(actual and fictitious)

Sun Tzu said:

Those who are on the battlefield first and are waiting for the battle are useless, and those who are behind the battlefield and are ready for the battle are tired. Therefore, those who are good at fighting will cause others without harming them. They can make the enemy

Those who come by themselves are beneficial; those who can prevent the enemy from coming are harmed. Therefore, if the enemy is exhausted and can work hard, and if the enemy is full and hungry, it will be driven by it.

Also; travel thousands of miles without fear, and walk in uninhabited land. When you attack, you will take it. When you attack, you will take it. If you attack it, you will not defend it. When you defend it, you will consolidate it. When you defend it, you will attack it.

.Therefore, if you are good at attacking, the enemy will not know where to defend; if you are good at defending, the enemy will not know where to attack. It is very small, so it can be hidden in the normal form; it is so magical that it is so mysterious.

Therefore, he can command orders for the enemy.

Those who advance cannot be met will be attacked in vain; those who cannot be retreated are far out of reach. Therefore, if we want to fight, although the enemy has high bases and deep ditches, he will not be able to defeat them.

If the enemy cannot fight with me, I must attack and save him. If I do not want to fight, I will draw the ground and defend it. If the enemy cannot fight with me, I must obey his position.

Therefore, a good general has the form of a person but no form, so I am dedicated and the enemy is divided. I am dedicated and divided into one, and the enemy is divided into ten, so ten will attack one. I am few.

As for the enemy's mass: If we can defeat them with a small number, then we cannot know where we are going to fight, so the enemy will have many preparations; if we have many preparations, we will have few to fight.

That's right. Be prepared for the former to be widowed at the back, and be prepared for the latter to be widowed at the front; be prepared for the left to be widowed on the right, and be prepared for the right to be widowed from the left; be prepared for all those who are widowed. Those who are widowed, be prepared for others

The one who makes others prepare for oneself.

If you know the day of war and the land of war, you can fight thousands of miles away; if you don’t know the day of war and the land of war, you will not be able to save the front and the rear.

Before the rescue, the left cannot rescue the right, and the right cannot rescue the left. How about dozens of miles away, and how many miles close? If I can save it, the Vietnamese will have many soldiers.

, and it is also beneficial to win! Therefore, it is said: Victory can be achieved; although there are many enemies, there is no need to fight. Therefore, by detecting them, we can understand the principles of movement and stillness, and form them.

Know the place of life and death, plan it and know the strategies for gains and losses, and use it to know the surplus and shortcomings.

The ultimate form of military formation is that it is invisible; it is impossible to see into the depths, and it is impossible for a wise man to plan. Because of its shape, it is better than the crowd, and the crowd cannot understand it.

, everyone knows the shape of my victory, but no one knows the shape of my victory. Therefore, my victory will not be restored, but my shape will be endless. The shape of my army.

Like water: water travels, avoids heights and walks down; soldiers win, avoid reality and attack the weak. Therefore, water is controlled by the ground, and soldiers are defeated by the enemy. Soldiers are unsuccessful.

Momentum has no permanent shape and can be transformed into the enemy, which is called God. The five elements have no permanent victory, and the four seasons are not permanent; the sun has short and long lengths, and the moon has life and death.

(Military Struggle Chapter)

Sun Tzu said:

The method of using military force is as follows: generals receive orders from the king, unite the army and gather the people, make peace and then abandon it. There is no difficulty in military struggle. If there is difficulty in military struggle, use detours.

Straightforward, taking advantage of trouble. Therefore, it is a roundabout way to lure it to gain. Those who come from later generations are those who have come before them: those who know the roundabout way.

Military struggle is a benefit, and military struggle is a danger. If you raise an army to fight for profit, you will fail; if you appoint an army to fight for profit, you will donate a lot of supplies. Therefore, Jie Jia and

If you strive for profit, you will stay at home day and night, traveling twice as many miles as you want. If you strive for profit within a hundred miles, you will capture the general; if you are strong, you will go first, and if you are tired, you will be the last.

If you fight for profit at fifty miles, you will defeat the general, and you will lose half of it. If you fight for profit at thirty miles, you will win two-thirds. Therefore, if the army does not have heavy equipment, then

If there is no food, there will be death; if there is no accumulation, there will be death.

Therefore, those who do not know the plans of the princes cannot advance; those who do not know the mountains, forests, dangers, and swamps cannot march; there is no need to do so.

The leader of the countryside cannot gain geographical advantage. Therefore, the army is established by deception, moved for convenience, and divided and combined. Therefore, it is as fast as the wind and as slow as the forest; it invades

Sweeping like fire, motionless like a mountain; hard to know, like shadow, moving like thunder; pointing to divide the crowd, dividing the ground and dividing the interests; moving with power suspended, prophetic and tortuous

The Taoist wins: This is the method of military warfare.

Therefore, "Military Affairs" says: "If you don't hear each other's words, it's a drum and gold; if you don't see each other, it's a flag." Therefore, there are many battles during the day.

Banners, many drums of gold are used in night battles. Those who drum gold and banners are the eyes and ears of the people. Since the people are dedicated, the brave will not be able to advance alone, and the timid will

Don't retreat alone: ​​this is the way to use the crowd.

The three armies can seize Qi, and the general can seize hearts. Therefore, the Qi in the morning is sharp, the Qi is inert during the day, and the Qi collapses in the evening. Therefore, those who are good at using troops should avoid their sharp Qi.

, to attack the laziness and collapse, this is how to cure the qi. To treat the chaos with calmness, to wait for the uproar with calmness, this is the way to cure the heart. To treat the near and far, to wait for the tiredness, to treat the tiredness with silence.

When you are full and hungry, this is the way to control strength. Without the flags to invite people to stand up, and the formation to attack the hall, this is the way to control change. Therefore, when using troops: Don't go towards Gao Ling.

Don't feed the bait soldiers, don't force the poor soldiers, don't attack the sharp soldiers; don't greet the hills on your back, don't follow when you look to the north, surround the army's left behind, and don't contain the enemy when you return, use the masses.

Dharma.

(Nine Changes Chapter)

Sun Tzu said:

The general method of using military force is as follows: leave no ground at all, merge with the most important areas, overwhelm the ground with no survivors, encircle the ground and then fight, and fight at the dead end. There is no choice in the way.

The army cannot attack when there is something, the city cannot attack when there is something, the territory cannot be fought over, and the emperor's orders cannot be fulfilled when there is something wrong. Therefore, the general will take advantage of the nine changes and know how to use the army.

A general who does not know the benefits of the Nine Changes will not be able to gain the benefits of the land even though he knows the terrain. A general who does not know the benefits of the Nine Changes will not be able to gain the benefits of the land even though he knows the five benefits.

It’s for people’s use.

Therefore, the wise man's concerns must be mixed with benefits and harms. If they are mixed with benefits, they can achieve their goals; if they are mixed with harms, they can solve their problems. Therefore, if they are mixed with benefits, they can be solved.

The princes seek harm, serve the princes for business, and approach the princes for benefit. Therefore, the method of using troops is: Don’t rely on them not coming, rely on me to be ready to wait for them; don’t rely on them.

If you don't attack, you can't attack if you rely on me.

Therefore, there are five dangers in generals: death can be killed, life can be captured, anger can be insulted, integrity can be humiliated, and love for the people can be annoying. All these five, the general will

Failure to do so will lead to disaster in the use of troops. To overthrow the army and kill the generals, there will be five dangers, so we must pay attention to them.

(March Chapter)

Sun Tzu said:

Wherever the army is facing an enemy: the mountain is close to the valley, and the place of life is high, and there is no way to conquer it in battle: the army is on the mountain here. If the enemy has no water, he will be far away from the water;

When a visitor comes from a dead end of water, do not greet him in the river. Attack him halfway across the river to gain advantage. If you want to fight, welcome the guest without attaching yourself to the water. If you consider your place of residence high, do not welcome him.

Water flow: This is where the army on the water is. It must attack the swamp, but it has to leave without leaving anything behind; when it comes to attacking the swamp, it relies on the water and grass and carries the trees on its back: this is where the army squanders

The army of Ze is also on the plain land, and the right back is high, and the front and back are alive: the army on land is also here. The advantage of the four armies is why Huangdi

It is better than the four emperors.

An army likes to be high and hates to be low. It values ​​Yang and despises Yin. If you keep your health in good condition, you will definitely win. The army will have no diseases. Tombs, hills and embankments should be placed in Yang.

, and carry it on the right side: the advantage of this soldier is the help of the earth. The rainwater comes from the top, and the water flows to it; stop the wading and wait for it to settle. When the Juejian meets: Tianjing,

Heaven's Lao, Heaven's Luo, Heaven's Trap, and Heaven's Gap must be removed urgently, and do not get close. If we are far away, the enemy will be close; if we welcome it, the enemy will back it. The army is by the side.

If there are dangers, grass, reeds, groves, and rivers where one can hide, be careful to find them again, as this is where the treacherous person is.

If the enemy is close and quiet, it is dangerous; if the enemy is far away and challenges, and wants people to advance, the place where he lives will be easy and profitable. If the trees are moving,

Coming; if there are many obstacles in the grass, it is doubtful; if birds rise, it means they are lying down; if beasts are frightening, it means they are falling; if dust is high and sharp, it means a car is coming; if they are low and wide, it means coming.

Those who come and go are the ones who come alone; those who are scattered and well-organized are the woodcutter; the ones who come and go infrequently are the ones who camp the army. Those who are humble and prepared for the benefit are those who advance;

Those who advance and drive with strength are called retreat. Those who go out with light chariots first and stay on the side are called formations. Those who ask for peace without an agreement are called strategies. Those who rush to form soldiers are called period.

Those who are halfway forward are tempted. Those who stand with the stick are hungry; those who drink first are thirsty; those who see benefits and do not advance are tired; those who gather with birds are empty.

Ye. Those who call out at night are afraid; those who disturb the army are not heavy; those who move flags are disorder; those who are angry with officials are tired; those who kill horses and eat them are soldiers.

There is no food; there is no army. Those who are stubborn and do not return to their homes are poor bandits. Those who are earnest and sincere, and those who speak slowly are those who lose their troops; those who are rewarded several times.

, embarrassment; those who are punished several times are sleepy. Those who are violent first and then fear the crowd are not refined. Those who come to thank them want to rest. The soldiers are angry and

If they are close, but have become incompatible for a long time, and are not separated from each other, they must be carefully observed. Soldiers are not multi-benefit, and there is no force to advance. It is enough to join forces, anticipate the enemy, and capture people.

.Anyone who is careless and easy to attack will be captured by others.

If the pawn is punished if he has not been specially acquainted, he will not be accepted, and if he is not satisfied, it will be difficult to use; if the pawn is already acquainted but cannot be punished, then he cannot be used. Therefore, they are combined.

To use literature and to unify them with force is to say that they must be taken. If you teach the people by doing things well, then the people will obey; if you do not do things well, you will teach the people, and the people will not obey.

Those who practice well get along well with others.

(Topography)

Sun Tzu said:

Terrain: There are roads, there are obstacles, there are branches, there are narrow places, there are dangers, and there are distances. I can go there, and that place can come.

It's called Tong; Tong Xing said: Live in Gaoyang first to benefit from the grain road, and it will be beneficial to fight. You can go there, but it's hard to go back, so it's called Gua; Gua Xing says: The enemy is unprepared.

, go out and win; the enemy is well prepared, go out but cannot win, it is difficult to return, it is disadvantageous. It is not good for me to go out, and it is not good for him to go out, it is called branch; the shape of branch

Said: Although the enemy is benefiting me, I have no way to get out; lure him away, let the enemy attack him half-way, and gain advantage. The shape of the pass says: "If I occupy it first, I will surely make a profit."

To wait for the enemy; if the enemy is occupying it first, do not follow if it is full; if not, follow it. The dangerous form says: If I occupy it first, I must stay in Gaoyang to wait for the enemy; if

If the enemy is here first, don't follow him, just lead him away. Yuan Xing says: The power is even, it is difficult to challenge, and the battle will be disadvantageous. All these six are the way of the land.
