Chinese strategy explained : know yourself and the ennemy, use deception, spies, and "win with ease". Tr. Giles (en, annotated) and Amiot (fr).
Amid the turmoil and tumult of battle, there may be seeming disorder and yet no real disorder at all; amid confusion and chaos, your array may be without head or tail, yet it will be proof against defeat.1
Giles V.16.
Dans le fort de la mêlée et d'un désordre apparent, ils savent garder un ordre que rien ne saurait interrompre, ils font naître la force du sein même de la faiblesse, ils font sortir le courage et la valeur du milieu de la poltronnerie et de la pusillanimité.
