Therefore, the wise way to defeat the enemy is the second chapter of "The Art of War" by Sun Tzu.
Original text: Those who make good use of the army will no longer serve in the army, and the food will not last for three years; if they use it for the country, because the food is given to the enemy, the army will have enough food. Translation: Those who are good at using troops to fight will not repeatedly recruit troops from their own country, nor will they repeatedly supply food and grass from the country. All consumption is obtained from the enemy's country, and grain and grass are also supplied from the enemy's country, so that the food and clothing of the army can be satisfied.
