Your Art of War Review: Week of Nov. 29 to Dec. 5
A compilation of the past week’s Daily Art of War lessons.
“Hence it is that with none in the whole army are more intimate relations to be maintained than with spies. None should be more liberally rewarded. In no other business should greater secrecy be preserved.”
“Attack him where he is unprepared, appear where you are not expected.”
“If equally matched, we can offer battle; if slightly inferior in numbers, we can avoid the enemy; if quite unequal in every way, we can flee from him.”
“The onrush of a conquering force is like the bursting of pent-up waters into a chasm a thousand fathoms deep. So much for tactical dispositions.”
“Having collected an army and concentrated his forces, he must blend and harmonise the different elements thereof before pitching his camp.”
“There are roads which must not be followed, armies which not be attacked, towns which must not be besieged, positions which must not be contested, commands of the sovereign which must not be obeyed.”
“Camp in high places, facing the sun. Do not climb heights in order to fight. So much for mountain warfare.”
