849, "The Art of War: The Interval Chapter"

In the Imperial Palace of Beijing, in the Hanlin Academy, Huang Chongyang, the "First Scholar of Hanlin", came back from the court, and sat alone in the study to examine a "map of the Khitan and the surrounding situation", he seemed to have seen the Khitan army from the north to the south is overwhelmingly crossing the desert, mountains, plateaus and the Yellow River, and is approaching the border of the Central Plains: the border pass is blocked, the beacon smoke is everywhere, and the sound of killing is shaking the sky! Generalissimo Zhu Weideng and Deputy Marshal Yang Neng each led their men and horses to the north and engaged in a cruel and arduous battle with the Khitan army!

"No! Although the emperor has dispatched troops to the north, the situation is extremely unfavorable to me! What's more, when the two countries fight against each other, it is a battle of wits and courage, how can it be a momentary victory or defeat? As the first strategist by the emperor's side, I must be loyal and wise, and solve problems for the sky. The art of war is cloudy: know each other and know yourself, and win all battles. If you want to grasp the overall situation and win, you must be in the enemy camp and understand the enemy situation in a timely and accurate manner, so why should I not break the Khitan army? This matter is very secret, and in order to ensure safety, I must make a single opinion, and I must not divulge the secret of heaven until I have no choice but to do so! ”

Huang Chongyang thought of this, and his uneasy heart finally retreated. He couldn't help but pick up the "Art of War" on the bookcase, turn to the last one, the intersection, and carefully study the mystery again:

"Sun Tzu said: Where the Xing division is 100,000 yuan, the expedition is thousands of miles, the people's expenses, the public service (military expenditures), and the daily expenses are thousands of gold; Internal and external commotion (the whole country is in turmoil), neglect of the road (the people are tired of the road due to transportation), and those who are not allowed to do (operate agricultural affairs), 700,000 (not a certain number, metaphorically the great impact of military affairs on normal agricultural affairs). ）。 Stay together for several years (referring to the two sides holding each other for several years) to win one day. And he loves Juelu Baijin (meaning stingy with titles, money, and money, and refuses to reuse spies. Those who do not know the feelings of the enemy are not benevolent, and they are not human generals (generals who do not know how to use spies to carry out special tasks are not good generals who lead troops. Also, not the lord of the lord, not the lord of victory (not a good general who can fight. ）。 Therefore, the Ming monarch is a virtuous general, so he moves to win the enemy (as soon as the army is dispatched, he can defeat the enemy. ), success comes from the multitude, the prophet (who knows the enemy beforehand. Also. A prophet is not allowed to take from ghosts and gods (it is not permissible to seek knowledge of the enemy by means of prayers, divination, etc., such as prayers and sacrifices to ghosts and gods.) (Do not use analogies from other things to learn about the enemy.) ), not verifiable (can not be used to check the position of the stars on the day to seek the enemy's situation. It will be taken from others, and those who know the feelings of the enemy are also.

Therefore, there are five uses: there is a cause (a kind of spy, which can also be said to be rural. That is, relying on the relationship with the enemy's fellow villagers to obtain intelligence, or taking advantage of the relationship with the enemy's officers and soldiers to break into the enemy camp to engage in espionage activities and obtain intelligence. There is an inner room, there is an anti-room, there is a death room, and there is a life room. Five of them are used at the same time, so that the enemy cannot figure out the laws of our army's actions. ), is called the Divine Age (the way of the unfathomable. ), the treasure of the king (the magic weapon of the monarch to win. Also. Because of the intermediary, because of the countrymen used (using the relationship of the enemy general's fellow villagers as spies. ）。 The insiders are used by their officials (bribing the officials of the enemy country as spies. ）。 Those who oppose it are used because of their enemies. (Refers to buying or using enemy spies to use them for our own use.) The one who dies is deliberately spreading false information to the outside in order to deceive and confuse the enemy. Let us know it, and spread it to our enemies. (Let our spies know about the false information that we have deliberately spread to the outside world in order to deceive, confuse, and fool the enemy.) In this case, after the incident, our spies often inevitably die, so they are called 'dead rooms'. Those who are born will also be reciprocated. (Spies who were able to survive after learning about the situation on the enemy side came back to report that someone was on the enemy.) ）

Therefore, the affairs of the three armies are not close to each other, (the most trusted person in the three armies is no more than the appointed spy.) There is no greater reward than that of a spy.) There is nothing more confidential than the affairs of military aircraft than espionage. ), non-sage (a person of great intellect. If you are stingy with money and can't treat each other with sincerity, you can't use spies well. It is not subtle and cannot be obtained. (Not a well-designed, ingenious general who cannot obtain real information about spies.) Subtle, subtle, everything; The intermittent matter has not been carried out (the intermittent matter has not yet been carried out. And those who heard it before died. (That is, if the in-house exposure is carried out, the spy and the insider must be killed in order to kill him.) ）

Whoever strikes what the army wants to strike (i.e., 'the army that wants to strike'. Whatever the city wants to attack, and what the people want to kill, I will know the names of the guards, the right and left, the confessors, the gatekeepers, and the guards (the main generals, the guards of the generals, the officials responsible for conveying the notices, the officials responsible for guarding the gates, and the disciples who are the advisers of the advisers), so that we will know them.

We must find out the enemy spies who come to us to carry out espionage activities. Therefore, it is beneficial to take advantage of the opportunity to buy and take advantage of the enemy. (try to induce him, give him a certain task, and then let him go back. Therefore, it can be used inwardly. Because it is known, it refers to learning the enemy's internal information from the counter-room. (This means that by using the anti-room, the countryside and the interior can be used effectively.) ）。 Because it is known, it is a matter of death to sue the enemy. Because it is known, it can be made as scheduled. The things of the five rooms must be known by the Lord, and the knowledge must lie in the anti-room, so the anti-room must be thick. (Among the five, the anti-intermediary is the key, so it is necessary to give the anti-intermediary very generous treatment.) ）

Xi Yin (17th century B.C., Shang Tang destroyed Xia, built the capital Bo, that is, the north of Shangqiu County, Henan, known as the Shang Dynasty in history. Later, the Shang king Gengpan moved the capital to Yin, which is now Xiaotun Village, Anyang, Henan, so the Shang Dynasty is also called Yin. ) is also in the summer; (Yi Zhi, i.e. Yi Yin (发 yi.)

sound

ot yi one, yi). Originally the minister of Xia Ji, and later returned to Shang Tang, Shang Tang appointed him as the prime minister, in the process of destroying Xia, Yi Yin (hair yi

sound

ot yi, yi) played a big role. Xia refers to the Xia Dynasty, the first slave dynasty in Chinese history established by Xia Qi, the son of Dayu, a total of 17 generations, to Xia Wei when Shang Tang destroyed. Zhou (Zhou Dynasty, a dynasty established after King Wu of Zhou destroyed Shang in the 11th century BC, with its capital in manuscript capital, now Xi'an, Shaanxi. Zhixing also, Lu Ya is in Yin. (Lu Ya is Lu Ya, also known as Jiang Shang and Jiang Ziya, commonly known as Jiang Taigong.) He was once a minister of King Yin. When King Wu of Zhou was defeated, he appointed Lü Ya as his 'division' and defeated the king of Shang. Therefore, only a wise and virtuous general can be wise (a person with a high level of resourcefulness. For the intermediate, it will be a great success. The important thing of this army is that the three armies are also moved. (The military relies on information provided by spies.) ）”
