A military force is established by deception of sense that you deceive enemies
So that they do not know your real condition
And then they can establish supremacy
It is mobilized by a game in a sense that it goes into action
When it sees an advantage
Dividing and recombining is done to confuse opponents
And observe how they react to you
So that they can adapt and situate and seize victory
Therefore when it moves swiftly, it is like the wind
When it goes slowly, it is like the force
It is rapacious as fire and immovable as mountains
And as swift as the wind in that it goes without a trace and withdraws
Like lightning
And it is like a force in that its whirling
And is rapacious as fire across a plain
Not leaving a single blade of gra**
It is immovable as a mountain, and is dark all around
It is hard to know as the dark
Ends up k**ing thunder
To ponder a locality, to line up your troops
To expand your territory, divide the spoils
The rule for military operations is to feed off the enemy as much as possible
However, in localities where people do not have very much
It is necessary to divide up the troops into smaller groups
To take what they need here and there
For when then and there, there will be enough
