Preparing to the single combat
It means in war, that in place of one blow hard on empty, when such is impossible, the series of shallow shots follow in different directions, but each of which however is a blow hard on empty and none — hard on hard. It is war with zero losses.
A warrior, preparing to the single combat with a very strong opponent and fearing a defeat, asked a tortoise:
— Give me force of your armour, that I could him resist!
What a tortoise answered on:
— Better I will give you speed of breaking forth on freedom hare, then prepotent opponent nothing with you able getting on!
And true, that stands force one against speed other?! His opponent died of black fury, managing never even to touch our warrior.
Grow not force, but mobility and exactness.
Bed on advantageous locality.
Advantageous locality — when for you after the back mountain, and for an opponent after the back bog the or river, or other inconveniences, distracting his attention. Coming hardness uphill to him, and defended you — easily. It is possible to roll stone or arrange a dam. The defended him hardness, there is not possibility for a manoeuvre, it is all time necessary to fear not to step in a dangerous place. If yet and your side of mountain is lighted up a sun — quite well are less illnesses among your warriors. Bedding is necessary on advantageous locality. And if an opponent occupied a vantage-ground already, then better not to battle, but wait other case and other terms.
A mountain can be not always from a stone. It can be from a stone. It can be from money. Then you have considerable financial advantage before a competitor. It can be from laws. Law on your right. Coming, you operate to execute of law. And opponent coming — a law violates. A mountain can be and from your professional competence. And for an opponent after the back a bog can appear is an area, wherever he possesses professional knowledges and forced will be to acknowledge the insolvency.
Task of manoeuvring — to move each time so that in the case of collision with an opponent after you a mountain was always felt. One or another.
If an opponent is on advantageous locality and provokes you on a conflict — will hold back. Smooth out a joke. Bring apologies. Silent. And even will yield. Choose other case, when you after the back will have a mountain. Divide reason of battle and battle in time. Well, if these events will always be an empty interval of time. Not to rumple a hat, remember?! Choose locality for a battle. Not trusted circumstances.
Illumination a sun sometimes can mean the clarity of your advantage. It is possible to be by law right, but right difficultly, not obviously.
Then a that mountain which you considered advantage can turn around for you by a not mountain, but even mestome, and even by a bog. Certainly, it is possible and it is needed to manoeuvre and during a battle. But much more advantageous and more effective to change a battle-field a manoeuvre.
If battle-field and seems suitable, but it is chosen an opponent, better than him to replace, what to fall the victim of own conceit.
