The deceitful way is like poison, and the thirty-six strategies are snake messages that have been dormant for thousands of years. Every plan is tempered with blood and conspiracy - "borrowing a knife to kill" will not see the blade, "hiding a knife in a smile" will not hear the sound, "going up to the house to take the ladder" will cut off the path, "drawing the fuel from the bottom of the cauldron" will end your life. This is not a book of war, but the shadow of human nature.
When "hiding from the sky and crossing the sea", the moonlight pierced the lies; when "surrounding Wei and rescuing Zhao", horse hooves trampled on the bones and blood. The "beauty trap" is gentle and deadly, the "counterintuitive trap" is ruthless and decisive, and the "go for the best" is decisive in order to survive.
This is not wisdom, it is a law of survival. When I read it, the knife was already on my neck - the real killing move was in the blank page at the end.
