Interpretation of "Zhuge Liang's Art of War. General Yuan"

The Thirty-third

- -- act according to the situation

The skill of winning and the form of combining and changing depend on the opportunity. Who can act according to the situation? The way to see an opportunity is not to be unexpected. Therefore, when the beast is in danger, the boy holds a halberd to catch it; Bees and flyers are poisoned, and the brave man is lost in confusion. If you don't plan for the disaster, you can't worry about the speed change.

translation

The key to winning and conforming to the changing formation is to seize the opportunity. If it is not a wise man, who can seize the opportunity to make a quick decision? The secret of timing is surprise. We know that when the beast leaves the mountain and loses the support of the steep mountain, even a child can chase and scare it with a long halberd; Once a small poisonous bee uses the poison sting to launch its prestige, even a strong man will scare away. Therefore, in the face of the enemy, we should let the disaster suddenly appear, making them unprepared and unpredictable. It is the best way to win by taking chances, changing quickly and taking surprise.

Extension example

Cao Cao's Northern Expedition

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, ethnic minorities in the north often invaded, and Shan Yu in western Liaoning was the strongest. In 207 AD, Cao Cao personally led his troops to fight against the enemy in order to stabilize the northern Xinjiang.

Due to the large number of Cao's troops and numerous grain and grass, it took more than a month to reach Yicheng in Hejian (northwest of Xiongxian County, Hebei Province). The counselor Guo Jia was very anxious about this situation, and said to Cao Cao, "The speed of war is very important. It is very difficult to win if we march thousands of miles to fight against others and bring so many things. If the enemy knows that we are coming, he will be prepared. It is better to leave the baggage and send light soldiers to travel day and night, and take him unprepared, so as to win." Cao Cao Cao felt that Guo Jia's words were reasonable. He personally ordered thousands of elite soldiers and went forward with light clothing. In the White Wolf Mountain, Cao's army met with tens of thousands of cavalry soldiers in Dayton. When Cao Cao climbed to the top of the mountain, he saw that the enemy was in large numbers, but the formation was irregular, so he ordered the vanguard Zhang Liao to lead the troops to rush up. The soldiers fought bravely against the enemy with one against ten, and the result was a great defeat for the army. Many generals were killed by disorderly knives.

 解读《诸葛亮兵法.将苑》 应机第三十三

应机第三十三

— --见机而作

   夫必胜之术，合变之形，在于机也。非智者，孰能见机而作乎？见机之道，莫先于不意。故猛兽失险，童子持戟以追之；蜂虿发毒，壮士彷徨而失色。以其祸出不图，变速非虑也。

   戟 ji    虿 dun

译文

　　取得胜利的方法、符合变化的阵形，关键在于把握时机。如果不是智者，谁又能把握时机当机立断呢？掌握时机的秘诀在于出其不意。我们知道，猛兽离开山区，失去了险峻的山势做依托，就是个孩子也可以手持长戟追逐吓唬它;小小的毒蜂一旦凭借毒刺发起威风，就是强壮的大汉也会吓的远逃。所以，面对敌人，我们要让灾祸突然出现，让他们防不胜防，无法预料，通过见机而作、变化迅速，出其不意，是最好的制胜办法。

　　解析

　　本篇文章论述了基本战术策略。侧重于论述捕捉战机。文章强调指出抓住战机的重要，文章说，小孩抓住了战机，可以制服猛兽；小小的毒蜂，如出击得当，可以让壮士大惊失色。文章特别强调抓住战机，出其不意，打击敌人，可收到意外的效果。

　　拓例

　　曹操北伐出奇兵
　　东汉末年，北方的少数民族经常进犯，其中辽西的单于蹋顿势力最强。公元２０７年，曹操亲自率兵讨伐，以稳定北疆。
　　由于曹军人马众多，粮草无数，所以走了一个多月才到达河间的易城（今河北省雄县西北）。谋士郭嘉对此状况很焦急，便对曹操说：“兵贵神速。行军千里去打人家，又带这么多的东西，是很难取胜的。如果敌人知道我们来了，必然会有所准备，不如留下辎重，派出轻兵日夜兼程，打他个措手不及，这样才能获胜。”曹操觉得郭嘉言之有理，亲自点出数千精兵，轻装前进。在白狼山，曹军与蹋顿的数万骑兵相遇了。曹操登上山头，见敌军虽人数众多，但队形不整，于是下令先锋张辽率领部队冲杀上去。将士们以一当十，奋勇杀敌，结果蹋顿军队大败，许多将领都死于乱刀之下。
