軍爭第七

Maneuvering

Sunzi VII. 25.


此治力者也	以飽待饑	以佚待勞	以近待遠

To be near the goal while the enemy is still far from it, to wait at ease while the enemy is toiling and struggling, to be well-fed while the enemy is famished:–this is the art of husbanding one's strength.

Giles VII.31.

Si vous voyez qu'ils ont de l'ardeur, attendez qu'elle se ralentisse et qu'ils soient accablés sous le poids de l'ennui ou de la fatigue. Tel est le contrôle du facteur physique.

Amiot

Sun Zi VII. 25.
