This Podcast presents a dialogue between King Wu and Jiang Taigong, from the Art of War, concerning border conflict strategy. Jiang Taigong advocates dividing forces into three groups: a defensive front, a secretly resupplying rear, and an elite strike force for a surprise attack. If the enemy anticipates this, Jiang Taigong advises exhausting them through feigned attacks and harassing maneuvers, creating confusion and wearing down their morale before launching a decisive assault. The passage highlights the importance of deception and strategic exhaustion in warfare. Both Chinese and English versions of the text are included.
