Sun Zi 
– The Art of War
Chinese strategy explained : know yourself and the ennemy, use deception, spies, and "win with ease". Tr. Giles (en, annotated) and Amiot (fr).
Terrain
Only about a third of the chapter, comprising ss. ss. 1-13, deals with "terrain," the subject being more fully treated in ch. XI. The "six calamities" are discussed in SS. 14-20, and the rest of the chapter is again a mere string of desultory remarks, though not less interesting, perhaps, on that account.
Sunzi X. 23.
Hence the experienced soldier, once in motion, is never bewildered; once he has broken camp, he is never at a loss.1
Giles X.30.
Ceux qui sont véritablement habiles dans l'art militaire font toutes leurs marches sans désavantage, tous leurs mouvements sans désordre, toutes leurs attaques à coup sûr, toutes leurs défenses sans surprise, leurs campements avec choix, leurs retraites par système et avec méthode. Ils connaissent leurs propres forces, ils savent quelles sont celles de l'ennemi, ils sont instruits de tout ce qui concerne les lieux.
