The weather is not as good as the right place, the right place, and the harmony between people.

a city of three miles, a country of seven miles, is invincible if it is encircled and attacked. If the husband attacks it, he will have the right time, but if he doesn't win, the right time is not as good as the right place.

the city is not high, the pond is not deep, the army is not profitable, and the rice is not too much. It is not as good as human peace to entrust it.

therefore, it is said that the people of the territory do not take the border of the frontier as a frontier, consolidate the country without the danger of mountains and streams, and dominate the world without the benefit of military reform. Those who gain the Tao help more, but those who lose the Tao help less. If there is little help, if there is much help from relatives, the world will be smooth. Take advantage of the world and attack the relatives, so a gentleman will win if he doesn't fight.

[ translation]

The weather and season that are conducive to combat are not comparable to the geographical situation that is conducive to combat, and the geographical situation that is conducive to combat is not comparable to the will of the people and internal unity in combat.

a small town in Sanli, an outer city in Qili, is surrounded by attacking it but cannot win. Surrounding and attacking it must be a favorable condition for getting the weather season, but it can't win, because the weather season that is conducive to combat is not as good as the geographical situation that is conducive to combat.

The city walls are not high, the moat is not deep, the weapons and equipment are not poor, and the food is not small. However, the defenders of the city abandoned the city and fled. This is because the geographical situation favorable to the battle is not as good as the people's will and internal unity in the battle.

Therefore, people can't settle down by the boundaries of territory, consolidate national defense by the dangers of mountains and rivers, and deter the world by the strength of weapons and equipment. Those who practice benevolent policies will have more people to help and support him, while those who do not practice benevolent policies will have fewer people to help and support him. There are so few people who help him that all his brothers and sisters will betray him. Many people helped him to the extreme, and everyone in the world surrendered to him. By virtue of the condition that all the people in the world submit to him, they will attack those whose brothers and flesh betray him. Therefore, those who practice benevolent policies will either not fight or fight will surely win.
