Therefore, the use of troops depends on fraud and surprise attack to win. Decide actions according to whether it is conducive to victory, and divide or concentrate major changes according to the situation of both sides.
According to the needs of the battlefield situation, when the troops act quickly, the wind is swaying; When marching calmly, it unfolds slowly like a forest; When attacking the city and plundering the land, it is in full swing; When stationed in defense, it is like a mountain; When the military situation is hidden, it is like a dark cloud covering the sun; When the army came out, it was thunderous. To seize the enemy's property and plunder the people, we must divide our forces and act. Open up territory, share benefits, divide forces and keep key points.
