original work
Sun Tzu said: the law of husband's use of troops is that the whole country is the best, followed by breaking the country; The whole army is the best, followed by Pojun; The whole brigade is the best, followed by the broken brigade; The whole army is the best, followed by broken soldiers; All Wu is the best, followed by breaking Wu. Therefore, it is victory, and the good are not good; Defeat the enemy's soldiers without fighting, and the good ones are also good.
So, soldiers attack the city, the enemy follows, the soldiers follow, and then attack the city. The method of siege is the last resort. Maintenance, equipment, three months later, three months later. Those who will be carried away by their anger, will cling to them, kill a third of the foot soldiers and stay out of the city. This kind of attack is also a disaster.
Therefore, those who are good at using soldiers defeat others' soldiers without fighting, pull out others' cities without attacking, destroy others' countries without fighting soon, and strive for the world, so the soldiers are tireless and the benefits are all. This is also the way to attack.
Therefore, the method of using troops is to encircle ten, attack five and divide into two. The enemy can fight, and if there are few, they will flee and cannot be avoided. Therefore, the strength of a small enemy is also a prisoner of a big enemy.
If the husband is a general, Kuninosuke will also make the country strong and weak.
Therefore, there are three reasons why you are suffering from the army: you don't know that the army can't enter or retreat, but you can't retreat. A sergeant will be confused if he doesn't know about the three services and is in charge of them. If a sergeant doesn't know the rights of the three armed forces and works with them, it is very suspicious. If the three armed forces are suspicious, it will be difficult for the princes to be safe. It means that the rebels will win.
Therefore, there are five kinds of winners: those who know they can fight and won't fight win; He who knows people wins; People with the same desire win; Treat unsuspecting people with fear and win; Those who have the ability and the king doesn't guard them will win. These five know the way to win.
Therefore: know yourself and know yourself, and you will be invincible; Know yourself and yourself, one wins and one loses; If you don't know each other, if you don't know your friends, every battle will be dangerous.

Translation of works
Sun Tzu said: the way of using force is the best way to make the enemy submit to the whole country. It is better to defeat the enemy without fighting than to defeat the enemy without fighting. The best policy is to surrender all the enemy troops, and the worst policy is to annihilate all the enemy troops; The best policy is to make the enemy "brigade" surrender, and the worst policy is to break the enemy "brigade"; It is the best policy to let all the enemy "pawn" surrender, and it is inferior to defeat a "team" of an enemy "pawn"; Making the enemy surrender is the best policy, and breaking the enemy's "Wu" is the worst policy. Therefore, winning every battle is not the best strategy. Only before the siege, the enemy's military ability (including command ability and combat ability) was seriously insufficient, and it was simply unable to resist, which was considered to be the best among the wise.
Therefore, the best military strategy is to win first, then defeat the enemy by diplomatic means, and then send troops to attack the enemy to win. The worst strategy is to attack the city. Use siege only as a last resort. It will take three months to prepare the siege bunker and fence, and prepare all kinds of siege equipment. It will take another three months to build a mountain and attack the city. The general couldn't control his anger and drove the soldiers to climb the ladder like ants to attack the city, so that one third of the soldiers were killed or injured and could not be defeated. This is the harm caused by siege.
Therefore, people who are good at fighting can not make the enemy yield by war, capture the enemy's city by hard attack, destroy the enemy's country by long-term war, and gain the advantage over the world by perfect tactics, but can win a total victory without losing troops. This is a method of plotting to attack the enemy.
The principle of using troops is: surround the enemy with ten times the strength, attack the enemy with five times the strength, divide and destroy the enemy with twice the strength, and resist with considerable strength. If the troops are less than the enemy, you should avoid direct contact with them. If the troops are weak, you should retreat to the distance. Therefore, if a weak army struggles tenaciously, it will become a captive of a powerful enemy.
The general is the assistant of the country, and if he assists well, the country will be strong; Assisting in negligence and failing to perform duties will inevitably weaken the country. The monarch did harm to the army in three aspects: he didn't know under what circumstances the army could fight and attack, and he didn't know under what circumstances the army could retreat and make it retreat, which bound the hands and feet of the army. Interfering in the politics of the three armed forces without knowing the internal affairs of the three armed forces will make the soldiers of the three armed forces at a loss. Participating in the command of the army without knowing the emergency plan of the army will make the soldiers suspicious. The army is confused and suspicious. When the armies of vassal states seize the opportunity to attack, disaster will befall them. This is to confuse their troops and lose victory.
There are five factors to predict victory: knowing under what conditions you can or can't fight, you can win; Only those who know how to serenade in different ways can win; If the whole army is United as one, it can win the battle; Those who treat unprepared teachers with prepared teachers can win; The general is talented and the monarch does not interfere, so he can win. These five laws are the truth of predicting victory.
Therefore: know yourself and know yourself, and you will be invincible; Those who know not the enemy but know the enemy are equal in victory and defeat; If you don't know yourself and yourself, you won't be defeated.
Creation background
Sun Wu, revered by later generations as a grandson, Sun Wuzi, a soldier saint, a teacher of a century-old strategist and the originator of eastern military science. (535 BC? ), once saw Prince He Lv in the thirteenth article of The Art of War, and was appointed as a general. Led the troops to fight, invincible, Wu Zixu led Wu Jun to break Chu, winning five out of five, and led 30,000 troops to defeat 600,000 troops of Chu and enter the capital of Chu. Qi Jin in the north, Yue people in the south, famous soldiers.
Records in Historical Records, Sun Tzu's Art of War and Biography of Wuqi recorded the historical materials of Sun Wu, namely, Historical Records, Sun Tzu's Art of War and Biography of Wuqi. Sun Wu, Sun Bin and Wu Qi are as follows. Sun Wu is an iron rider, and he is also a man. Sun Tzu's Art of War is found in He Lv, the king of Wu. He Lv said, "I have read all the thirteen chapters. Can I try to control the soldiers?" ? "Yes," he said. He Lu said, "Can you try a woman?" Said, "Yes. "So much, the palace beauty, one hundred and eighty people. Sun Tzu is divided into two teams, the captain is the favorite Ji, and both of them are holding halberds. The order said, "Do you know your heart and your right hand?" The woman said, "I know. "The Art of War" said, "Before it is too late, it depends on your own heart. Left, look at the left hand; Yes, look at the right hand; After that, I saw the back. " The woman said, "Say yes. "Constraints are laid, but they are set, that is, time and again. So to the right of the drum, the woman smiled. Sun Tzu said, "If the constraints are unknown and the application is unfamiliar, it will be a crime." After repeating the order, the woman smiled again. Sun Tzu said, "If the constraints are unknown and the application is unfamiliar, it will certainly suffer. "It is also an official's crime to know what is clear and not up to the law." Is to kill captain Zuo gu. From the stage, the king of Wu saw it and beheaded Aji, which was terrible. The interesting envoy ordered, "I know the general can use the army." I'm not the second age, and I don't want to eat it. I would rather not cut it. Sun Tzu said, "I'm a general now, and I'm in the army, so your life will not be affected." Then cut the captain and the two of them are eccentric. Use the second as the captain, so go back. The woman knelt down left and right, right and left, all of them were quite satisfactory, and no one dared to make any noise. So Sun Tzu's emissary reported to the King: "Since the soldiers are neat, the King can try to observe them. Only the king can use them at will, even if it is to go through fire and water. Wu Wangdao: "The general should give up and give up. I don't want to see it. Sun Tzu said, "Wang tries to be kind, but he can't use it in fact." So He Lv knew that his grandson could fight, and he thought he could. The west broke the strong Chu, entered Ying, and the north and Jin were famous princes, and Sun was strong and Yan.
Tai Shigong said: The divisions and brigades referred to in the secular world refer to the thirteen articles of Sun Tzu's Art of War and Wuqi's Art of War, which are too numerous to mention in the world, so we should discuss the people who act and set up. As the saying goes: "What can be done may not be said, and what can be said may not be done." Sun Tzu's plan is brilliant, but he can't save people from punishment. Wuqi said that the marquis of Wu did it in Chu because the situation was not as good as that of Germany, and it was not so kind to die. Sad husband!
