Warfare Is Deception

Warfare is deception

Appear weak when you are strong, and strong when you are weak.

if you can attack, seem unable

seem inactive if you are active

seem far when near, near when far


Pretend to be weak so they grow arrogant

Irritate the enemy, make them angry

If you can’t control your anger, you lose


Attack unexpectedly. Be prepared and wait to take them unprepared
