Laying Plans
Ts`ao Kung, in defining the meaning of the Chinese for the title of this chapter, says it refers to the deliberations in the temple selected by the general for his temporary use, or as we should say, in his tent. See. ss. 26.
Sunzi I. 11.
All warfare is based on deception.1
Hence, when able to attack, we must seem unable; when using our forces, we must seem inactive; when we are near, we must make the enemy believe we are far away; when far away, we must make him believe we are near.
Giles I.18,19.
Toute campagne guerrière doit être réglée sur le semblant. Feignez le désordre, ne manquez jamais d'offrir un appât à l'ennemi pour le leurrer, simulez l'infériorité pour encourager son arrogance, sachez attiser son courroux pour mieux le plonger dans la confusion : sa convoitise le lancera sur vous pour s'y briser.
