Sun Tzu's Art of War [Army-fourth]

Original article:
1. Sun Tzu said: those who fight well in the past should not win, so as to win the enemy. You cannot win the enemy. Therefore, good fighters can win, but cannot win. Therefore, it is said that the winner knows, but cannot be.
2. You cannot win, keep, or attack. The code is insufficient, and the attack is sufficient. The good defender is hidden in the 9th region, and the good attacker is on the 9th day, so he can protect himself and win the game.
3. Seeing is better than the knowledge of all people, not the good of the good, but the good of the world, not the good. Therefore, the autumn is no more than the power, see the sun and the moon is not a clear eye, the thunder is not a deaf ear. The so-called good fighters in ancient times are better than the easy-to-win ones. Therefore, the good fighters cannot win because they have no wisdom or courage. If you fail, you will be defeated. Therefore, the good fighters are in an undefeated position without losing the defeat of the enemy.
4. It is because the defeated soldiers win first and then fight for victory. Good soldiers, repair the Tao and protect the law, so they can win and defeat the government.
5. War of war: one-level, two-level, three-way, four-way, five-way. Aliyun, aliyun.
6. Therefore, if the attacker calls the baht, then the loser calls the baht. If the battle of the winner is determined by the accumulation of water in the stream of the millennium, the form is also.
Translation:
1. Sun Tzu said: those who used to be good at fighting with troops always first create insurmountable conditions and wait for opportunities to defeat the enemy. Keep yourself from being defeated, and take the initiative in your own hands; whether the enemy can be defeated lies in whether the enemy gives us a chance. Therefore, those who are good at combat can only prevent themselves from being defeated, rather than the enemy being defeated by our army. Therefore, victory is foreseeable, but cannot be forced.

2. The enemy has no chance to win, cannot be defeated, and the defense is waiting for it. If the enemy has a chance to win, it will be surprisingly attacked. The defense is because our troops are insufficient, and the attack is because our troops exceed the opponent's. Good at defense, hiding your own troops is like an unmeasurable underground; good at attacking troops is like falling from the sky, and the enemy cannot defend. In this way, you can save yourself and win the championship.
3. the foresight of victory cannot exceed ordinary people's knowledge, but it cannot be the best: Winning after the battle, even if the world praises it, is not the best. Just as I couldn't say I was too powerful in autumn, I could see that sun and moon were not as powerful as I could, and I could not hear thunder. In ancient times, the so-called good soldiers only defeated those enemies that are easy to defeat. Therefore, a person who is really good at using troops has no reputation for being wise and never has the power to fight, but he is able to win and lose nothing, because his plans and measures can be guaranteed, he is defeated by an enemy destined to fail. So those who are good at fighting not only keep themselves invincible, but also never miss any chance to defeat the enemy.
4. Therefore, a winning army always fights after it has the conditions for victory, while a defeated army always fights first. In the war, enterprises are lucky enough to win. Those who are good at using troops, devote themselves to studying the power to win, cultivate politics, and stick to the winning legal system, so they can win or lose.
5. method of war: the first is the degree, that is, the area of the land, the second is the volume, that is, the capacity of the materials and resources, the third is the number, that is, the number of military sources, and the fourth is the name, that is to say, compare the comprehensive military strength of both sides. The fifth is victory, that is, to determine the outcome. The size of the land area determines the capacity of material resources and human resources. The capacity of resources determines the number of troops that can be invested. The number of troops determines the strength of the two sides. The strength of the two sides determines the probability of winning or losing.
6. the winning army has an absolute advantage over the failed party, just like the "baht, the failed army uses the "baht" for the winning party ". When the winner fights, it is like a flood of water from the mountains where the leader rises. This is a manifestation of military strength.
