Sun Tzu said: War is the top priority of the country, the key to people's life and death, and the way to decide the country's life and death. We must study and study it seriously.

We should compare the basic conditions of the two sides to discuss the victory or defeat of the war from five aspects, one is Tao, the other is heaven, the third is earth, the fourth is general and the fifth is law. The so-called "Tao" is to make the people and the monarch think the same politically, so that the people and the monarch share weal and woe, swear to death and have no second thoughts.

The so-called "sky" refers to sunny and rainy weather, hot and cold weather and the changing laws of the four seasons. The so-called "land" refers to the distance of the trip, the steep or flat terrain, and the width of the battlefield, whether it is life or death. The so-called "general" is to see whether a general has five qualities: wisdom, faithfulness, benevolence, courage and strictness.

The so-called "law" refers to the organizational system of the army, the scope of duties of officers, and the management system of military supplies. Generally speaking, no one has never heard of these five aspects, but only those who are thoroughly grasped can win, and those who are not thoroughly grasped cannot win. Therefore, it is necessary to discuss the outcome of the war by comparing the specific conditions of both sides.

These conditions are: which of the two monarchs has a clear and appropriate administration? Which general is more talented? Which side has the most time and place? Which side of the military law is well implemented? Which side is better? Which side's soldiers are better trained? Which side is more severe in reward and punishment? By analyzing and comparing these situations, I can know the result of the war.

If you can accept my military thinking and appoint me to lead the army to win the battle, I will stay; If you can't accept my military thinking, my troops and I will definitely fail in the battle, and I will leave. If you think my military thinking is good and acceptable, I will create a military situation for you and help you from the outside. The so-called military posture is to seize the favorable opportunity and take appropriate contingency actions in the rapidly changing war posture.

Fighting is based on the principle of deception. Therefore, "can" should make the enemy feel "can't" and "use" should make the enemy feel "don't". "Near" should be regarded as "far" by the enemy and "far" should be regarded as "near" by the enemy. If the enemy is greedy for profit, he will lure it and destroy it; If the enemy is in chaos, seize the opportunity to destroy it immediately; When the enemy is strong, we must always be on our guard;

If the enemy is elite and powerful, we should pay attention to avoiding its sharpness; When the enemy is impatient, he teases it and makes it lose its mind; The enemy is careful and slow, and tries to make him proud; If the enemies are in harmony, they will alienate each other. Take the enemy by surprise. These are wonderful secrets of military strategists, which cannot be explained or explained in detail in advance.

Those who think they will win the temple calculation before the war are because they have many winning conditions; Those who believe in winning without fighting have few conditions for victory. If you have more conditions to win, you will win, and if you have less, you will be invincible. What's more, you don't have any winning conditions? From these comparative analysis, I can see the outcome!

Second, the original text

Sun Tzu said: Soldiers, the important events of the country, the place of life and death, and the way of life and death must be observed.

Therefore, we should learn five things, learn their methods and seek their feelings: one is Tao, the other is heaven, the third is earth, the fourth is will, and the fifth is law. Tao makes people consistent with the world, can die with it, can live with it, and is not afraid of difficulties and dangers. Heaven, yin and yang, cold and heat, time system. People living on land are far and near, dangerous and easy, wide and narrow, dead and alive. General, wisdom, faith, benevolence, courage and strictness.

Legalism, music system, official way, main use. We should listen to these five things. Those who know will win, and those who don't know will be invincible. Therefore, the school took the plan and asked his feelings, saying: Who is the master? Who can? What is heaven and earth? What is the law? Who is stronger? Who practices foot soldiers? Who is the reward and punishment? I know the result from this.

Will listen to my plan, use it to win and keep it; You won't listen to my plan. If you use it, you will fail. Let's go Listen to what you earn, so that you can help others. This is the trend. Those in power control power for profit.

Soldiers are cunning. Therefore, you can show what you can't do, use it without showing it, show it far and near, and show it near and far; If you are tempted by profit, take it from chaos, prepare it, if you are strong, avoid it, if you are angry, you will be arrogant, if you are humble, you will do it, and if you are close, you will leave. Surprise. The victory of this military commander should not be announced first.

If the husband does not fight, the temple will win; If the temple didn't win before the war, it would be too few. Win more, win less, it is better to have nothing? From this perspective, we can see the results.
