LAYING PLANS
1. Sun Tzu said: The art of war is important for the state.
2. This is a matter of life and death, there is a road to safety or to waste. Therefore, this is the subject of investigation, on which no account can be ignored.
3. The art of war is then operated by five static factors, which should be kept in mind in somebody's deliberations, when demands are made to determine the conditions received in the field.
4. These are: (1) Moral law; (2) heaven; (3) earth; (4) Commander; (5) Law and discipline.
5,6 Moral law causes people to live completely with their ruler, so that they, without any danger, regardless of their life, follow them unaware.
7. Heaven is a symbol of night and day, cold and heat, time and weather.
8. The distances in the earth are included, great and small; Danger and security; Open ground and narrow passage; The possibility of life and death
9. The commander stands for the qualities of knowledge, honesty, benevolence, courage and sternness.
10. By law and discipline, the army can be considered as a swamp in its proper subdivisions, the graduates of the posts, maintenance of roads through which supplies can reach the army, and control military expenditure.
11. These five heads should be familiar with every general: who knows that he will be victorious; Who knows that he will not fail.
12. Therefore, in your discussions, when demanded to determine military conditions, then they should be the basis of comparison in this understanding: -
13. (1) Which of the two rulers is in the Moral law?
(2) Which two generals have the highest capacity?
(3) Who benefits from the heaven and earth, with whom?
(4) On which side is the most harsh discipline implemented?
(5) Which army is stronger?
(6) On which side do the officers and men become more trained?
(Which) is the speed in which army (both) in reward and punishment?
14. Through these seven ideas, I can guess victory or defeat.
15. The General who listens to my lawyer and takes action on him, he will win: Let this kind of command remain in force! The general who does not listen to my lawyer or acts on it, will have to face defeat: - Such a person should be rejected!
16. Lead the benefits of my attorney, take advantage of any supportive circumstances above and above normal rules.
17. According to the circumstances, anyone should modify the plans.
18. All warfare is based on deception.
19. Therefore, when we are able to attack, we should be unable; When using our powers, we should be seen to be inactive; When we are close, we should assure the enemy that we are far away; When we are away, we should believe that we are close.
20. Keep the fodder out to woo enemies. Disorderly disorder, and crush it.
21. If he is safe at all points then be prepared for him. If he is in better power, then empt him.
22. If your opponent is hostile, try to tease him. Pretend to be weak, that he may be arrogant.
23. If he is taking his ease, do not rest it. If its forces are united, separate them.
24. Attack him where he is unprepared, where you are not expected to appear.
25. These military equipment leading to victory should not be divided in advance.
26. Now the one who wins a fight, does many calculations in his temple, this fight is fought. A losing loser is normal but does count some earlier. In this way, many calculations lead to victory, and some calculations for the defeat: how much no calculation! This is to pay attention to this point that I can search for people who have the chance of winning or losing.
