Excerpt from the original text
孫子曰：凡用兵之法，將受命於君，合軍聚衆，交和而舍，莫難於軍爭。軍爭之難者，以迂為直，以患為利。故迂其途，而誘之以利，後人發，先人至，此知迂直之計者也。Sunzi · The Art of War · Maneuvering: speed and support ↗The summary is editorial. Follow the source link to read the original text.
Modern interpretation
The example below adapts this chapter’s questions to modern work. Evaluate it against the actual purpose and conditions; ancient politics, warfare or ethics do not establish business results.

- A comparison using maneuvering: speed and support, with conditions for acting or declining.
Limits
The summary selects main points rather than translating every sentence. The example is not a demonstrated business method; check it against stakeholders’ conditions and actual evidence.
Question to test
How does this chapter’s perspective change the selected option or priority, and what further evidence could change the decision?
