Military strategy is an important part of military struggle. Its important role in military struggle can be summarized in two words: transformation. It can turn weakness into strength. Let us look at an example of a battle that took place in the Southern and Northern Dynasties: In the second year of Jianyuan of the Southern Qi Dynasty (480), the Northern Wei Dynasty sent an army of 200,000 to attack Shouchun of the Southern Qi Dynasty. At that time, the strength of the Southern Qi garrison was far less powerful than that of the Northern Wei. With the disparity in strength between the enemy and ourselves, the defender Yuan Chongzu cleverly used the Feishui River near Shouchun City to overwhelm tens of thousands of Northern Wei soldiers and submerge them, thus completing the transformation of the strength of both sides. It can save the day. During the Western Han Dynasty, Li Guang served as the border guard. Once, he led a few cavalry out and encountered thousands of barbarian cavalry on the way. Li Guang believed that if he turned around and returned, he would be chased by Hu Qi, and as a result, no one would survive. So, he ordered Li Hu to dismount his horse two miles away, unsaddle his saddle, and rest on the spot. Hu Qi suspected that there was an ambush, so he led his troops away. Li Guang used his wisdom and courage to save the group of people from danger. This book takes you through ancient military tricks.
