第一套胜战计Winning Stratagems

第一计瞒天过海
crossing the sea under camouflage
备周则意怠；常见则不疑。阴在阳之内，不在阳之对。太阳，太阴。
Mask your real goals, by using the ruse of a fake goal, until the real goal is achieved. Tactically, this is known as an 'open feint': in front of everyone, you point west, when your goal is
actually in the east.

第二计围魏救赵
relieving the state of Zhao by besieging the state of Wei
共敌不如分敌；敌阳不如敌阴。
When the enemy is too strong to be attacked directly, then attack something he holds dear. Know that he cannot be superior in all things. Somewhere there is a gap in the armour, a
weakness that can be attacked instead.
The idea here is to avoid a head-on battle with a strong enemy, and instead strike at his weakness elsewhere. This will force the strong enemy to retreat in order to support his weakness.
Battling against the now tired and low-morale enemy will give a much higher chance of success.

第三计借刀杀人
killing someone with a borrowed knife
敌已明，友示定，引友杀敌，不自出力，以《损》推演。
When you do not have the means to attack your enemy directly, then attack using the strength of another. Trick an ally into attacking him, bribe an official to turn traitor, or use the enemy's
own strength against him.

第四计以逸待劳
waiting at one's ease for the exhausted enemy
困敌之势，不以战；损刚益柔。
It is an advantage to choose the time and place for battle. In this way you know when and where the battle will take place, while your enemy does not. Encourage your enemy to expend his
energy in futile quests while you conserve your strength. When he is exhausted and confused, you attack with energy and purpose.

第五计趁火打劫
lundering a burning house
敌之害大，就势取利，刚决柔也。
When a country is beset by internal conflicts, when disease and famine ravage the population, when corruption and crime are rampant, then it will be unable to deal with an outside threat.
This is the time to attack.
第六计声东击西
making a feint to the east and attacking in the west
敌志乱萃，不虞，坤下兑上之象。利其不自主而取之。
In any battle the element of surprise can provide an overwhelming advantage. Even when face to face with an enemy, surprise can still be employed by attacking where he least expects it.
To do this you must create an expectation in the enemy's mind through the use of a feint.


第二套敌战计Enemy Dealing Stratagems
第七计无中生有
creating something out of nothing
诳也，非诳也，实其所诳也。少阴，太阴，太阳。
You use the same feint twice. Having reacted to the first and often the second feint as well, the enemy will be hesitant to react to a third feint. Therefore the third feint is the actual attack
第八计暗度陈仓
catching your enemy with his guard down.
advancing secretly by an unknown path
示之以动，利其静而有主，“益动而巽”。
Deceive the enemy with an obvious approach that will take a very long time, while surprising him by taking a shortcut and sneak up to him. As the enemy concentrates on the decoy, he will
miss you sneaking up to him.
第九计隔岸观火
watching a fire from the other side of the river
阳乖序乱，阴以待逆。暴戾恣睢，其势自毙。顺以动豫，豫顺以动。
Delay entering the field of battle until all the other players have become exhausted fighting amongst themselves. Then go in at full strength and pick up the pieces.
第十计笑里藏刀
covering the dagger with a smile
信而安之，阴以图之。备而后动，勿使有变。刚中柔外也。
Charm and ingratiate yourself with your enemy. When you have gained his trust, move against him in secret.
第十一计李代桃僵
alming off substitute for the real thing
势必有损，损阴以益阳。
Thereare circumstances in which you must sacrifice short- term objectives in order to gain the long-term goal. This is the scapegoat strategy whereby someone else suffers the
consequences so that the rest do not.
第十二计顺手牵羊picking up something in passing
微隙在所必乘，微利在所必得。少阴，少阳。
While carrying out your plans be flexible enough to take advantage of any opportunity that presents itself, however small, and avail yourself of any profit, however slight.
Attacking Stratagems第三套：攻战计
第十三计打草惊蛇beating the grass to frighten the snake
疑以叩实，察而后动。复者，阴之媒也。
Do something unaimed, but spectacular (
Do something unusual, strange, and unexpected as this will arouse the enemy's suspicion and disrupt his thinking. More widely used as
imprudent act will give your position or intentions away to the enemy.
第十四计借尸还魂
有用者，不可借；不能用者，求借。借不能用者而用之。匪我求童蒙，童蒙求我。
Take an institution, a technology, a method, or even an ideology that has been forgotten or discarded and appropriate it for your own purpose.
Revive something from the past by giving it a new purpose or bring to life old ideas, customs, or traditions and reinterpret them to fit your purposes.
第十五计调虎离山
待天以困之，用人以诱之，往蹇来返。
Never directly attack an opponent whose advantage is derived from its position. Instead lure him away from his position thus separating him from his source of strength.
第十六计欲擒故纵
逼则反兵，走则减势。紧随勿迫，累其气力，消其斗志，散而后擒，兵不血刃。需，有孚，光。
Cornered prey will often mount a final desperate attack. To prevent this you let the enemy believe he still has a chance for freedom.
His will to fight is thus dampened by his desire to escape. When in the end the freedom is proven a falsehood the enemy's morale will be defeated and he will surrender without a fight.
第十七计抛砖引玉
类以诱之，击蒙也。
Bait someone by making him believe he gains something or just make him react to it (
第十八计擒贼擒王capturing the ringleader first in order to capture all the follower
摧其坚，夺其魁，以解其体。龙战于野，其道穷也。
If the enemy's army is strong but is allied to the commander only by money, superstition or threats, then take aim at the leader.
If the commander falls the rest of the army will disperse or come over to your side.
If, however, they are allied to the leader through loyalty then beware, the army can continue to fight on after his death out of vengeance.
