孙子曰：夫用兵之法，全国为上，破国次之；全军为上，破军次之；全旅为上，破旅次之；全卒

为上，破卒次之；全伍为上，破伍次之。

是故百战百胜，非善之善也；不战而屈人之兵，善之善者也。

henceofighandconquerinallyourbalesisnosupremeexcellence;supremeexcellenceconsissinbreakingheenemy"sresisancewihoufighing

故上兵伐谋，其次伐交，其次伐兵，其下攻城。

hushehighesformofgeneralshipisobalkheenemy"spns;henexbesisoprevenhejuncionofheenemy"sforces;henexinorderisoaackheenemy"sarmyinhefield;andheworspolicyofallisobesiegewalledciies

攻城之法，为不得已。修橹□1□2，具器械，三月而后成；距堙，又三月而后已。

将不胜其忿而蚁附之，杀士卒三分之一，而城不拔者，此攻之灾也。

hegeneral,unableoconrolhisirriaion,willunchhismenoheassaullikeswarmingans,wihheresulhaohirdofhismenaresin,whileheownsillremainsunakensucharehedisasrouseffecsofasiege

故善用兵者，屈人之兵而非战也，拔人之城而非攻也，毁人之国而非久也，

hereforeheskillfulleadersubduesheenemy"sroopswihouanyfighing;hecapuresheirciieswihouyingsiegeohem;heoverhrowsheirkingdomwihoulenghyoperaionsinhefield

必以全争于天下，故兵不顿而利可全，此谋攻之法也。

wihhisforcesinachewilldispuehemaseryofheempire,andhus,wihoulosingaman,hisriumphwillbecompleehisishemehodofaackingbysraagem

故用兵之法，十则围之，五则攻之，倍则分之，

iisheruleinwar,ifourforcesareenoheenemy"sone,osurroundhim;iffiveoone,oaackhim;ifwiceasnumerous,odivideourarmyinowo

敌则能战之，少则能逃之，不若则能避之。

故小敌之坚，大敌之擒也。

夫将者，国之辅也。辅周则国必强，辅隙则国必弱。

故君之所以患于军者三：

herearehreewaysinwhicharulercanbringmisforuneuponhisarmy:

(1)不知军之不可以进而谓之进，不知军之不可以退而谓之退，是谓縻军；

(2)不知三军之事而同三军之政，则军士惑矣；

(3)不知三军之权而同三军之任，则军士疑矣。

三军既惑且疑，则诸侯之难至矣。是谓乱军引胜。

故知胜有五：知可以战与不可以战者胜，识众寡之用者胜，上下同欲者胜，以虞待不虞者胜，将能而君不御者胜。此五者，知胜之道也。

故曰：知己知彼，百战不贻；不知彼而知己，一胜一负；不知彼不知己，每战必败。
