Seize the moment and you can get the first move. What does it mean to be first? It means reaching out before others and taking advantage of the situation. In the eyes of those who succeed in plotting the overall situation, they never miss any opportunity, and can always turn the opportunity into a condition for success, because they are good at "grasping" skills. This is the essence of the "Military Strength Chapter" of "The Art of War".

【This Guide】

This article mainly talks about the importance of "Ren Shi".

Only by creating a powerful posture that is unstoppable and overwhelming the enemy can the soldiers be extremely brave and the combat effectiveness of the army can be brought into full play.

In order to achieve the goal of "taking on the situation," it is necessary to "show the form" and "move the enemy," and it is necessary to give play to the role of "Qi Zheng." After all, "the battle situation is nothing but Qi Zheng," and "all those who fight should win with the right and the odd." ”

"Qizheng" is two contradictory aspects in the development process of things, which can be transformed into each other.

The theme of this article: choose people and let them go.

【Source of Wisdom】

Sun Tzu said: Where the people are governed by the widows, the score is also; Fighting the crowd is like fighting widows, and the name is also; The multitude of the three armies can make those who are bound to be defeated by the enemy and invincible, and it is strange that it is also; The soldier knows, such as the one who throws the egg, the truth is also false.

Those who fight, with the right fit, with the odd victory. Therefore, those who are good and surprising are as infinite as heaven and earth, and inexhaustible as rivers. In the end, the sun and the moon are also; Resurrection from the dead, four o'clock is also. The color is not five, and the change of five tones is not to be heard. The sound is not five, and the change of five colors is invincible. The taste is not five, and the change of the five flavors can be better than the taste. The battle situation is not strange, strange is changing, and it is invincible. Odd and positive are born together, such as the gratuitous cycle, who can be poor?

The disease of the torrent, as for the drifters, the potential is also; The disease of the bird, as for the destroyer, the festival also. It is a good fighter, its potential is dangerous, and its knots are short. The momentum is like a crossbow, and the knots are like a start.

One after another, the fight is chaotic and not chaotic; Chaotic, round and undefeatable. Chaos is born in governance, cowardice is born in bravery, and weakness is born in strength. Chaos control, number also; Courage and cowardice, momentum also; Strength and weakness, shape also. Therefore, those who are good at moving the enemy will be formed, and the enemy will follow him; Give it, and the enemy will take it. Move it with profit, and treat it with a pawn.

Therefore, those who are good at fighting seek it, and do not blame others, so they can choose people and let them go. Those who are in power are also their fighters, such as turning wood and stone. The nature of wood and stone, peace is quiet, danger is moving, square is stopped, and circle is lined. Therefore, the momentum of good fighters, such as turning a round stone in the mountain of a thousand people, is also powerful.

【Classic Interpretation】

Sun Tzu said: Generally speaking, managing a large army is the same as managing a small army, and this is a matter of the organization of the army; Commanding a large army to fight is like commanding a small unit to fight, and this is a matter of command number; The fact that the entire army was attacked by the enemy and did not rout is a problem of "odd positive" tactics; The blow to the enemy army is like hitting an egg with a stone, which is a kind of "avoiding the real and making it false."

In general warfare, we always use "regular soldiers" to fight together and "surprise soldiers" to win. Therefore, those who are good at surprising systems will have infinite changes in their tactics like the operation of heaven and earth, and they will flow like rivers.

The end and the beginning are like the movement of the sun and the moon; Coming and coming back is like the change of seasons. There are only five basic notes of music, but the variations of the five scales are inaudible; Color, but five pigments, but the change of five colors, is not exhaustive; There are only five tastes, but the changes in the five flavors are not exhaustive. There are only two kinds of combat methods and methods: "odd" and "positive," but the changes in "strange" and "positive" are far from exhaustive. The mutual transformation between "strange" and "positive" is like spiraling along a circle, and there is no end, and who can exhaust it?

The turbulent water rushes so fast that it can wash away the boulder, because of the "momentum" formed by its speed; The birds fly high and fast, so that they can hunt and kill birds, which is a short and rapid "festival".

Therefore, the man who is good at commanding the battle, he creates a dangerous situation, and he attacks at a short pace. The precipitous situation is like a full bow and crossbow, and the rapid rhythm is like a crossbow machine that suddenly fires an arrow.

The battle flags are chaotic, the men and horses are mixed, and the army must be neat and tidy when fighting in the chaos; When fighting in a situation of chaos and confusion, it is necessary to arrange the formation carefully and maintain the situation without defeat. The reason for the confusion in the face of deception and confusion is due to the strict organization of one's own side. The reason for showing cowardice to the enemy is that one's own side has the quality of daring. The reason for showing weakness to the enemy is due to the fact that you have a strong army. Strictness or chaos is determined by the quality of the organization. Courage or cowardice is made by the strength or weakness of the combat situation. Whether strong or weak is shown by the contrast between the strength of the two sides. Therefore, if you are good at adjusting the enemy, you will disguise your appearance to confuse the enemy, and the enemy will obey the transfer; Tempt the enemy with goodness, and the enemy will come and fight for it. In short, it is to lure the enemy into being fooled with interests, and then prepare heavy troops to wait for the opportunity to attack him.

A person who is good at using troops to fight a war always strives to create a favorable situation, and does not seek full responsibility for his subordinates, so he can choose talents to use and create a favorable situation. Those who are good at taking advantage of the situation wield their armies to fight, just like rolling wood and stone. The characteristic of wood and stone is that it is stable where it is flat and stable, and it rolls when it is placed on steep and steep places. The square is easy to stop, and the circle rolls flexibly. Therefore, the favorable situation created by a person who is good at commanding a battle is like rolling a cobblestone down a mountain from a high mountain, which is called "momentum".

【Modern Interpretation】

"Potential" is the trend of the development of things and the internal driving force for the development of things. Grasping this "momentum" will be conducive to promoting the development of things. This is the "Ren Shi".

"Potential" can also be created. Nowadays, the fashionable "advertisement" changes the product to be advertised, and then displays it, if displayed properly, it will increase the popularity of the product to be advertised and promote its sales. The process of creating an advertisement is also a process of building momentum.

In order to make the correct use of "potential", the most important thing is to "choose people". After all, society is people-centered, and with the right people, we can better play the role of "potential". Generally speaking, the person chosen should possess the quality of being able to grasp and take advantage of the situation. At the same time, all kinds of talents should be used according to their talents. Budget-conscious, meticulous, better than a calculator, can be used for financial management; Those with strict management and no favoritism can be used for enterprise management; Flexible, experienced, available for purchasing, and so on. In short, make the best use of your talents. Management is also a kind of art of employing people, how to mobilize the enthusiasm of employees, give full play to their strengths, will make the operation a great success. This is the "selection of people and the situation".
