Chapter 3: Planning an Attack
Main points:
1. Defeating an enemy while avoiding war is the best outcome, keeping state intact and reaping benefits.
2. So striking an enemy’s plans and attacking alliances, roads, grain supply etc.
3. Need a completely reliable General, and a ruler that doesn’t meddle in military affairs.
“Know your enemy and know yourself. Fight a hundred battles without danger.”

Chapter Two: Starting a Battle (a very brief and sometimes repetitive one)
Main points:
1. Ideally we can rely on the enemy for food provisions because grain is so heavy. It saves a lot of money and the people at home.
2. Protracted war is to be avoided if at all possible. “War is like fire. If you do not stop it you will burn yourself.”
3. Reward some men with enemy possessions to spur on hundreds more.
