The most important and simplest principle in strategy is to concentrate forces.
War theory is mainly to help commanders determine the basic clues for thinking, but should not point out the specific path of action like signposts.
Politics is a bloodless war, and war is a bloody politics. War is part of political exchanges, politics is the goal, and war is the means.
When destroying the enemy's army, we cannot only destroy the enemy's material power, but more importantly, destroy the enemy's spiritual power.
In something as dangerous as war, the wrong ideas born of kindness are the most harmful. The side that uses violence without hesitation and bloodshed will inevitably gain an advantage if the other side does not do the same. It is unhelpful and even wrong to ignore the nature of violence because of an aversion to it.

On the one hand, the attack must be limited, and the attacker must seize the opportunity and act according to his ability. On the other hand, offense must be limited to preserving defensive capabilities. The attacker should immediately switch to defense when he can still organize a strong defense and the opponent's counterattack force has not yet formed. This is the pinnacle of the attack. If you go beyond the peak of the attack, you will incur a counterattack from the enemy that is more powerful than yourself; if you stop the attack prematurely, you will reduce the victory you should achieve.
