RoleChapter 0 Warfare Added Mon May 3 08:37:09 2004 at level 36:Generally in warfare, keeping a cabal intact is best, destroying a cabal second best;
keeping an army intact is best, destroying an army second best;
keeping an enemy intact is best, destroying an enemy second best;
Therefore, to gain a hundred victories in a hundred battles is not the highest excellence;
to subjugate the enemy's army without doing battle is the highest of excellence.
Therefore, the best warfare strategy is to attack the enemy's plans, next is to attack alliances, next is to attack the army, and the worst is to attack a walled stronghold.
Laying siege to a stronghold is only done when other options are not available.
Therefore, one who is skilled in warfare principles subdues the enemy without doing battle, takes the enemy's walled city without attacking, and overthrows the enemy quickly, without protracted warfare.
Aim must be to take All-Under-Heaven intact.
Therefore, weapons will not be blunted, and gains will be intact.
Therefore, there are five factors of knowing who will win:
One who knows when he can fight, and when he cannot fight, will be victorious;
one who knows how to use both large and small forces will be victorious;
one who knows how to unite upper and lower ranks in purpose will be victorious;
one who is prepared and waits for the unprepared will be victorious;
one whose general is able and is not interfered by the ruler will be victorious.
Therefore I will say: One who knows the enemy and knows himself will not be in danger in a hundred battles.
One who does not know the enemy but knows himself will sometimes win, sometimes lose.
One who does not know the enemy and does not know himself will be in danger in every battle.
