Chapter VII. MANOeUVERING

1. Sun Tzŭ said: In war, the general receives his commands from

the sovereign.

2. Having collected an army and concentrated his forces, he must

blend and harmonise the different elements thereof before

pitching his camp.

["Chang Yu says: "the establishment of harmony and confidence

between the higher and lower ranks before venturing into the

field;" and he quotes a saying of Wu Tzŭ (chap. 1 ad init.):

"Without harmony in the State, no military expedition can be

undertaken; without harmony in the army, no battle array can be

formed." In an historical romance Sun Tzŭ is represented as

saying to Wu Yuan: "As a general rule, those who are waging war

should get rid of all the domestic troubles before proceeding to

attack the external foe."]

3. After that, comes tactical manoeuvering, than which there is

nothing more difficult.
