5. Loot a Burning House
When a country is beset by internal conflicts, when disease and famine ravage the population, when corruption and crime are rampant, then it will be unable to deal with an outside threat. This is the time to attack.<\/p>\n

Originally this stratagem means: When someone’s house is on fire, take advantage of the chaos and steal his valuables.<\/p>\n

In the year 499 BC, the state of Yue was co<\/em>nquered by the state of Wu. The king of Yue, Gou Jian, became a slave of Wu. He tended the stables for three years before he was allowed to return to his state.<\/p>\n

After seven years of rebuilding, Yue gradually became strong again. All the while, Gou Jian never forgot his humiliation.<\/p>\n

Gou Jian bribed Wu’s minister Bo Pi with eight beautiful women and a thousand ounces of gold. Wu’s counsellor Wu Zixu had false charges pressed against him and he committed suicide.<\/p>\n

Additionally, Wu was hit by a severe drought. Meanwhile, Wu’s king Fu Chai wasted his resources on buildings for his pleasure. Instead of meeting the people’s needs, Fu Chai led his army to the north to preside over a meeting of principalities.<\/p>\n

Yue took advantage of Wu’s natural disaster, popular unrest and weak defence to launch an attack. Fu Chai was given the choice of execution or suicide. He chose suicide.<\/p>\n

6. Clamor in the East, Attack in the West
In any battle the element of surprise can provide an overwhelming advantage. Even when face to face with an enemy,<\/p>\n

surprise can still be employed by attacking wher he least expects it. To do this you must create an expectation in the enemy’s mind through the use of a feint.<\/p>\n

In AD 200, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao fought a decisive battle. Yuan Shao, with the advantage of terrain and troop strength, wanted to block the enemy’s route of retreat (Battle of Guandu).<\/p>\n

Yuan Shao ordered general Yan Liang to lead 10,000 soldiers to occupy the enemy’s strategic Baima city.<\/p>\n

Cao Cao was told of the enemy’s plan. He summo<\/em>ned his aides to help think of a solution. One of his aides, Xun You said, "Let’s show as if we’re crossing the river to attack Ye city. Yuan Shao will send some troops westwards. In the meantime, we can surround Baima and attack the remaining Yuan Shao troops."<\/p>\n

Falling for the ruse, Yuan Shao led some troops to reinforce Ye city. Yan Liang surrounded Baima and believing that Cao Cao’s army was attacking Yanjin and Ye, thought that Cao Cao will surrender in a few days time. Meanwhile, Cao Cao made his troops travel day and night to Baima.<\/p>\n

Yuan Shao reached Yanjin and found nobody there. Cao Cao managed to kill Yan Liang and thus the siege was lifted.<\/p>\n

7. Create Something From Nothing
You use the same feint twice. Having reacted to the first and often the second feint as well, the enemy will be hesitant to react to a third feint. Therefore the third feint is the actual attack catching your enemy with his guard down.<\/p>\n

Tang Dynasty China
During the An Lushan rebellion in 756 AD the Tang general Chang Shun was under siege by the forces of general Linghu Chao. Outnumbered twenty to one, the defending Tang forces soon ran out of arrows. To remedy this general Chang ordered his men to make straw dummies and to dress them in black uniforms. That night the dummies were lowered over the city walls by ropes, accompanied to the beat of war drums and gongs. General Linghu thought the enemy was launching a surprise night offensive and ordered his archers to shower the figures descending the walls with arrows. o<\/em>nce the dummies wher riddled with arrows the Tang soldiers pulled them back up the walls and thus restored their supply of arrows.
The next day general Linghu realized he had been tricked and attacked the walls in revenge for being humiliated.<\/p>\n

That night the Tang again lowered the dummies but General Linghu ordered his men to ignore them believing it was the same trick to get more arrows. When general Chang saw that no one was firing at the straw dummies, he ordered that five hundred of his best troops be lowered instead. They made a lightning raid on the encamped soldiers who were caught completely by surprise. The siege was lifted and general Linghu’s army fled the field.<\/p>\n

8. Openly Repair The Walkway, Secretly March to Chencang
Attack the enemy with two co<\/em>nvergent forces. The first is the direct attack, one that is obvious and for which the enemy prepares his defense. The second is the indirect, the attack sinister, that the enemy does not expect and which causes him to divide his forces at the last minute leading to co<\/em>nfusion and disaster.<\/p>\n

This stratagem took place towards the end of the Qin dynasty. There were rebellions everywher and the most powerful of the rebel leaders was Xiang Yu, warlord of Western Chu.<\/p>\n

Xiang Yu appointed Liu Bang as king of Hanzhong, effectively making him leave China. To further ensure that Liu Bang does not return to China from the East, Xiang Yu divided Guanzhong into three principilities and put three people in charge, informing them to be a<\/em>lert against Liu Bang.<\/p>\n

Liu Bang’s aide Zhang Liang said, "In order to placate Xiang Yu and the three kings, we must destroy the mountain plank road to show that we’ve no intention of returning to China."
o<\/em>nce Liu Bang arrived in Hanzhong, he made Han Xin commander of his army. After nine years of preparations, Liu Bang’s army became powerful and was ready to march eastwards.
On Han Xin’s suggestion, Liu Bang ordered his generals Fan Hui and Zhou Bo to take 10,000 men and horses and repair the plank road within three months. The scale of the job was large, they repaired o<\/em>nly a few li* in three months, which was too slow.<\/p>\n

Liu Bang recalled Fan Hui and Zhou Bo and placed others in charge of the task. Meanwhile, his enemies were greatly perturbed. One of the kings even led his forces to block the plank road exit.<\/p>\n

Han Xin then led Fan Hui, Zhou Bo and several thousand troops to overrun Guanzhong by the old rounda<\/em>bout route through Chencang.<\/p>\n
