1. Sun Tzu said: We come now to the question of encamping the army, and observing signs of the enemy.Pass quickly over mountains, and keep in the neighborhood of valleys.
2. Camp in high places, facing the sun. Do not climb heights in order to fight. So much for mountain warfare1.
3. After crossing a river, you should get far away from it.
4. When an invading force crosses a river in its onward2 march, do not advance to meet it in mid-stream.It will be best to let half the army get across,and then deliver your attack.
5. If you are anxious to fight, you should not go to meet the invader3 near a river which he has to cross.
6. Moor4 your craft higher up than the enemy, and facing the sun. Do not move up-stream to meet the enemy.So much for river warfare.
7. In crossing salt-marshes, your sole concern should be to get over them quickly, without any delay.
8. If forced to fight in a salt-marsh, you should have water and grass near you, and get your back to a clump5 of trees. So much for operations in salt-marches.
9. In dry, level country, take up an easily accessible position with rising ground to your right and on your rear,so that the danger may be in front, and safety lie behind.So much for campaigning in flat country.
10. These are the four useful branches of military knowledge which enabled the Yellow Emperor to vanquish6 four several sovereigns.
11. All armies prefer high ground to low and sunny places to dark.
12. If you are careful of your men, and camp on hard ground, the army will be free from disease of every kind,and this will spell victory.
13. When you come to a hill or a bank, occupy the sunny side, with the slope on your right rear.Thus you will at once act for the benefit of your soldiers and utilize7 the natural advantages of the ground.
14. When, in consequence of heavy rains up-country,a river which you wish to ford8 is swollen9 and flecked with foam10, you must wait until it subsides11.
15. Country in which there are precipitous cliffs with torrents12 running between, deep natural hollows,confined places, tangled13 thickets14, quagmires15 and crevasses,should be left with all possible speed and not approached.
16. While we keep away from such places, we should get the enemy to approach them; while we face them,we should let the enemy have them on his rear.
17. If in the neighborhood of your camp there should be any hilly country, ponds surrounded by aquatic16 grass,hollow basins filled with reeds, or woods with thick undergrowth, they must be carefully routed out and searched;for these are places where men in ambush17 or insidious18 spies are likely to be lurking19.
18. When the enemy is close at hand and remains20 quiet,he is relying on the natural strength of his position.
19. When he keeps aloof21 and tries to provoke a battle,he is anxious for the other side to advance.
20. If his place of encampment is easy of access,he is tendering a bait.
21. Movement amongst the trees of a forest shows that the enemy is advancing. The appearance of a number of screens in the midst of thick grass means that the enemy wants to make us suspicious.
22. The rising of birds in their flight is the sign of an ambuscade. Startled beasts indicate that a sudden attack is coming.
23. When there is dust rising in a high column,it is the sign of chariots advancing; when the dust is low,but spread over a wide area, it betokens22 the approach of infantry23. When it branches out in different directions,it shows that parties have been sent to collect firewood.A few clouds of dust moving to and fro signify that the army is encamping.
24. Humble25 words and increased preparations are signs that the enemy is about to advance. Violent language and driving forward as if to the attack are signs that he will retreat.
25. When the light chariots come out first and take up a position on the wings, it is a sign that the enemy is forming for battle.
26. Peace proposals unaccompanied by a sworn covenant26 indicate a plot.
27. When there is much running about and the soldiers fall into rank, it means that the critical moment has come.
28. When some are seen advancing and some retreating,it is a lure27.
29. When the soldiers stand leaning on their spears,they are faint from want of food.
30. If those who are sent to draw water begin by drinking themselves, the army is suffering from thirst.
31. If the enemy sees an advantage to be gained and makes no effort to secure it, the soldiers are exhausted28.
32. If birds gather on any spot, it is unoccupied.Clamor by night betokens nervousness.
33. If there is disturbance29 in the camp, the general's authority is weak. If the banners and flags are shifted about, sedition30 is afoot. If the officers are angry,it means that the men are weary.
34. When an army feeds its horses with grain and kills its cattle for food, and when the men do not hang their cooking-pots over the camp-fires, showing that they will not return to their tents, you may know that they are determined31 to fight to the death.
35. The sight of men whispering together in small knots or speaking in subdued32 tones points to disaffection amongst the rank and file.
36. Too frequent rewards signify that the enemy is at the end of his resources; too many punishments betray a condition of dire24 distress33.
37. To begin by bluster34, but afterwards to take fright at the enemy's numbers, shows a supreme35 lack of intelligence.
38. When envoys36 are sent with compliments in their mouths,it is a sign that the enemy wishes for a truce37.
39. If the enemy's troops march up angrily and remain facing ours for a long time without either joining battle or taking themselves off again, the situation is one that demands great vigilance and circumspection38.
40. If our troops are no more in number than the enemy,that is amply sufficient; it only means that no direct attack can be made. What we can do is simply to concentrate all our available strength, keep a close watch on the enemy,and obtain reinforcements.
41. He who exercises no forethought but makes light of his opponents is sure to be captured by them.
42. If soldiers are punished before they have grown attached to you, they will not prove submissive; and,unless submissive, then will be practically useless.If, when the soldiers have become attached to you,punishments are not enforced, they will still be unless.
43. Therefore soldiers must be treated in the first instance with humanity, but kept under control by means of iron discipline. This is a certain road to victory.
44. If in training soldiers commands are habitually39 enforced, the army will be well-disciplined; if not,its discipline will be bad.
45. If a general shows confidence in his men but always insists on his orders being obeyed, the gain will be mutual40.

      原文:  【行军第九】
      1.孙子曰:
      凡处军相敌,绝山依谷,视生处高,战隆无登,此处山之军也。绝水必远水,客绝水而来,勿迎之于水内,令半渡而击之利,欲战者,无附于水而迎客,视生处高,无迎水流,此处水上之军也。绝斥泽,唯亟去无留,若交军于斥泽之中,必依水草而背众树,此处斥泽之军也。平陆处易,右背高,前死后生,此处平陆之军也。凡此四军之利,黄帝之所以胜四帝也

      2.凡军好高而恶下,贵阳而贱阴,养生而处实,军无百疾,是谓必胜。丘陵堤防,必处其阳而右背之,此兵之利,地之助也。上雨水流至,欲涉者,待其定也。

       
      3.凡地有绝涧、天井、天牢、天罗、天陷、天隙,必亟去之,勿近也。吾远之,敌近之;吾迎之,敌背之。军旁有险阻、潢井、葭苇、林木、翳荟者,必谨覆索之,此伏奸之所处也。

      4.敌近而静者,恃其险也; 远而挑战者,欲人之进也; 其所居易者,利也; 众树动者,来也; 众草多障者,疑也; 鸟起者,伏也; 兽骇者,覆也;
      尘高而锐者,车来也; 卑而广者,徒来也; 散而条达者,樵采也; 少而往来者,营军也;
       
      5.辞卑而益备者,进也; 辞强而进驱者,退也; 轻车先出居其侧者,陈也; 无约而请和者,谋也; 奔走而陈兵者,期也; 半进半退者,诱也;

      6.杖而立者,饥也; 汲而先饮者,渴也; 见利而不进者,劳也; 鸟集者,虚也; 夜呼者,恐也; 军扰者,将不重也; 旌旗动者,乱也; 吏怒者,倦也;
      杀马肉食者,军无粮也; 悬缸不返其舍者,穷寇也; 谆谆翕翕,徐与人言者,失众也; 数赏者,窘也; 数罚者,困也; 先暴而后畏其众者,不精之至也;
      来委谢者,欲休息也。 兵怒而相迎,久而不合,又不相去,必谨察之。
      7.兵非贵益多也,惟无武进,足以并力、料敌、取人而已。夫惟无虑而易敌者,必擒于人。卒未亲而罚之,则不服,不服则难用。卒已亲附而罚不行,则不可用。故合之以文,齐之以武,是谓必取。令素行以教其民,则民服;令素不行以教其民,则民不服。令素行者,与众相得也。

         译文:   【行军第九】
      1、孙子说:在各种不同地形上处置军队和观察判断敌情时,应该注意:通过山地,必须依靠有水草的山谷,驻扎在居高向阳的地方,敌人占领高地,不要仰攻,这是在山地上对军队的处置原则。横渡江河,应远离水流驻扎,敌人渡水来战,不要在江河中迎击,而要等它渡过一半时再攻击,这样较为有利。如果要同敌人决战,不要紧靠水边列阵;在江河地带扎营,也要居高向阳,不要面迎水流,这是在江河地带上对军队处置的原则。通过盐碱沼泽地带,要迅速离开,不要逗留;如果同敌军相遇于盐碱沼泽地带,那就必须靠近水草而背靠树林,这是在盐碱沼泽地带上对军队处置的原则。在平原上应占领开阔地域,而侧翼要依托高地,前低后高。这是在平原地带上对军队处置的原则。以上四中“处军”原则的好处,就是黄帝之所以能战胜其他四帝的原因。
       
      2、大凡驻军总是喜欢干燥的高地,避开潮湿的洼地;重视向阳之处,避开阴暗之地;靠近水草地区,军需供应充足,将士百病不生,这样就有了胜利的保证。在丘陵堤防行军,必须占领它向阳的一面,并把主要侧翼背靠着它。这些对于用兵有利的措施,是利用地形作为辅助条件的。上游下雨,洪水突至,禁止徒涉,应等待水流稍平缓以后。
       
      3、凡遇到或通过“绝涧”、“天井”、“天牢”、“天罗”、“天陷”、“天隙”这几种地形,必须迅速离开,不要接近。我们应该远离这些地形,而让敌人去靠近它;我们应面向这些地形,而让敌人去背靠它。军队两旁遇到有险峻的隘路、湖沼、水网、芦苇、山林和草木茂盛的地方,必须谨慎地反复搜索,这些都是敌人可能埋设伏兵和隐伏奸细的地方。
       
      4、敌人离我很近而安静的,是依仗它占领险要地形;敌人离我很远但挑战不休,是想诱我前进;敌人之所以驻扎在平坦地方,是因为对它有某种好处。许多树木摇动,是敌人隐蔽前来;草丛中有许多遮障物,是敌人布下的疑阵;群鸟惊飞,是下面有伏兵;野兽骇奔,是敌人大举突袭;尘土高而尖,是敌人战车驶来;尘土低而宽广,是敌人的步兵开来;尘土疏散飞扬,是敌人正在拽柴而走;尘土少而时起时落;是敌人正在扎营。
       
      5、敌人使者措辞谦卑却又在加紧战备的,是准备进攻;措辞强硬而军队又做出前进姿态的,是准备撤退;轻车先出动,部署在两翼的,是在布列阵势;敌人尚未受挫而来讲和的,是另有阴谋;敌人急速奔跑并排并列阵的,是企图约期同我决战;敌人半进半退的,是企图引诱我军。
       
      6、抵兵倚着兵器而站立的,是饥饿的表现;供水兵打水自己先饮的,是干渴的表现;敌人见利而不进兵争夺的,是疲劳的表现;敌人营寨上聚集鸟雀的,下面是空营;敌人夜间惊叫的,是恐慌的表现;敌营惊扰纷乱的,是敌将没有威严的表现;旌旗摇动不整齐的,是敌人队伍已经混乱。敌人军官易怒的,是全军疲倦的表现;用粮食喂马,杀马吃肉,收拾起汲水器具,部队不返营房的,是要拼死的穷寇;低声下气同部下讲话的,是敌将失去人心;不断犒赏士卒的,是敌军没有办法;不断惩罚部属的,是敌人处境困难;先粗暴然后又害怕部下的,是最不精明的将领;派来使者送礼言好的,是敌人想休兵息战;敌人逞怒同我对阵,但久不交锋又不撤退的,必须谨慎地观察他的企图。
       
      7、打仗不在于兵力越多越好,只要不轻敌冒进,并集中兵力、判明敌情,取得部下的信任和支持,也就足够了。那种既无深谋远虑而又轻敌的人,必定会被敌人俘虏。士卒还没有亲近依附就执行惩罚,那么他们会不服,不服就很难使用。士卒已经亲近依附,如果不执行军纪军法,也不能用来作战。所以,要用怀柔宽仁使他们思想统一,用军纪军法使他们行动一致,这样就必能取得部下的敬畏和拥戴。平素严格贯彻命令,管教士卒,士卒就能养成服从的习惯;平素从来不严格贯彻命令,管教士卒,士卒就会养成不服从的习惯。平时命令能贯彻执行的,表明将帅同士卒之间相处融洽。
