[Cao Cao said: The shape of the army is also. I move each other, and the two enemies look at each other. 〕Grandson said:
Those who are good in the past are invincible first, waiting for the enemy to be triumphable; the invincibility is one's own, [Cao Cao said: Defend and stand firm. ] Can win in the enemy.
〔Cao Cao said: Self-cultivation and governance, waiting for the enemy's weakness. 〕
Therefore, the good can be invincible, but cannot make the enemy triumphant. Therefore, it is said: Victory can be known, [Cao Cao said: See also forming. ] It can’t be done.
〔Cao Cao said: The enemy is prepared for it. 〕
Invincible, defend
[Cao Cao said: Tibetan forms are also. 〕
Winning and attacking.
[Cao Cao said: The enemy is victorious when attacking oneself. 〕
There are more rules, but not enough attacks.
〔Cao Cao said: We are the defender, but we are not strong enough to attack, and we have more power. 〕The former defenders hide under the nine places and move above the nine heavens, so they can protect themselves and win.
[Cao Cao said: Yu Qi Shenwei. 〕
Seeing victory, but everyone knows that even those who are not good;
[Cao Cao said: When you see Wei Meng. 〕
Conquer, and the world says good, not good.
[Cao Cao said: There are also those who contend for the front. 〕
Therefore, it is not much effort to cite the autumn, and to see the sun and the moon is not to improve eyesight, and to hear the thunder is not to be clever.
[Cao Cao said: It's easy to see and hear. 〕
The so-called good ones win over the easy ones.
[Cao Cao said: The original micro is easy to win, but you can win if you attack it, but you can't win if you don't attack it. 〕Therefore, in the battle of the good, there is no extraordinary victory, no wise name, no courage.
〔Cao Cao said: If the enemy is not in shape, there is no magnificent success in victory. ] Therefore, the victory is not dead, and the one who does not die, the victory by what it takes, the one who wins or loses.
〔Cao Cao said: Check the enemy and you will lose, not bad. 〕
Therefore, those who are good stand in an invincible position, and do not lose the enemy's defeat.
Therefore, the victorious soldier wins first and then fights; the defeated soldier fights first and then seeks victory.
〔Cao Cao said: There is a plan and no worries. 〕
Therefore, those who are good, cultivate the way and protect the law, so they can win or lose.
〔Cao Cao said: Those who make good use of soldiers should first cultivate and govern as the invincible way, so as to protect the law without losing the enemy's defeat and chaos. 〕Method: One is degree, second is quantity, third is number, fourth is called, and fifth is victory.
〔Cao Cao said: The victory or defeat, the use of troops, should be weighed by these five things to know the enemy's feelings. 〕The birth of the land, [Cao Cao said: Save it because of the local situation. 〕
Per-degree yield, per-volume yield,
[Cao Cao said: Knowing its distance, wide and narrow, knows its number. 〕
Several students said,
〔Cao Cao said: Weigh oneself and the enemy to heal. 〕
Said Shengsheng.
[Cao Cao said: Because of weighing, you know where the winner is. 〕
Therefore, the victorious soldier is called the baht by the yee, and the defeated soldier is called the yee by the baht.
〔Cao Cao said: Light can't lift heavy weight. 〕
To call the victors and the people is like a decision to accumulate water in the gap of a thousand ren, the shape is also.
[Cao Cao said: Ba Chi said Ren. Jue Shui Qianren, its situation is also sick. ] [Translation] Sun Tzu said: In ancient times, people who were good at commanding wars always created conditions for themselves not to be defeated, and then waited and sought opportunities for victory. To keep oneself from being defeated by the enemy, the initiative is in one's own hands; there is an opportunity to take advantage of the possibility of defeating the enemy. Therefore, those who can fight well will not be defeated by the enemy, and the enemy may not be defeated by us. If the defensive work is done well, it is possible to win. What we cannot control is whether the enemy has an opportunity to be used by me. If you are not sure of defeating the enemy, you will take defense; when you are sure of defeating the enemy, you will attack suddenly. Defend if the conditions are insufficient to win, and attack if the conditions are sufficient. A person who knows how to defend is unfathomable, and the enemy has no clue; a person who knows how to attack is as unpredictable as the sky, and the enemy has no defense. Only in this way can we protect ourselves and achieve a complete victory.
Foreseeing victory, ordinary people cannot perceive it, it is not the wisest. Victory through hard struggle and praised by the people of the world is also the wisest. It's like being able to lift the autumn leaves, but it doesn't mean that he has great strength, that he can see the sun and the moon, but that he has good eyesight, and that he can hear thunder, but that he has good hearing. In ancient times, a person who was able to conquer a battle was always able to defeat an enemy that seemed easy to defeat. Therefore, even if such a person wins, he does not show his reputation and merit. This is due to his careful observation, no mistakes, and grasping the way to victory. The enemy he defeated is an enemy doomed to fail. Therefore, people who know how to use soldiers will always stand in an invincible position and grasp any opportunity that can completely defeat the enemy. Therefore, the army that first creates the conditions for victory and then fights against the enemy always wins the battle; the army that first fights against the enemy and then prays for luck is always the defeated army. A person who knows how to use soldiers is good at overcoming situations that cannot be won in all directions. In order to ensure the victory of a war, he controls the right to decide victory or defeat. The rules for using soldiers are: "degree", "quantity", "number", "weigh", and "victory".
The valuable terrain is judged according to the danger, narrowness, and the possibility of the soldiers' survival of the battlefield terrain; accurate judgments of the battlefield terrain can calculate the battlefield capacity; according to the size of the battlefield capacity, Estimate the size of the number of troops invested by both sides. After measuring and comparing the amount of troops that the opposing parties may invest in, the possibility of victory or defeat in the battle can be judged. Therefore, the comparison between a victorious and a defeated army is like the disparity of the baht in terms of the baht; the comparison of a defeated and victorious army is like the disparities in terms of the baht in terms of baht. When the victor directs the army to fight, it is like a waterfall falling from a height of several thousand feet, unstoppable. This shows the strong military strength of the army.
