04. Wait at ease for the enemy

Sun Tzu wrote these three maxims:

If he is taking his ease, give him no rest. If his forces are united, separate them. (from Section One, "Laying Plans," AOW)

If the enemy is taking his ease, he can harass him; if well supplied with food, he can starve him out; if quietly encamped, he can force him to move. (from Section Six, "Weak Points and Strong," AOW)

To be near the goal while the enemy is still far from it, to wait at ease while the enemy is toiling and struggling, to be well-fed while the enemy is famished:--this is the art of husbanding one's strength. (from Section Seven, "Manuevering," AOW)

It's always an advantage to be one step ahead of your opponent, and it's a benefit for you get to the site of battle ahead of him. But if speed is not your gift, you can also simply force or entice him to come to you, where ever you are. An opponent who must destroy you to get his reward will come after you where ever you go, so cover hard ground that is unfamiliar to him. Lead him through awkward and expensive situations. Keep evading him and force him to spend himself up to reach you.

The commentators on Sun Tzu recommend that if you have a small force and your enemy a strong force, encamp your men in rocky, divided terrain so that you force the pursuer to break up his army. Thus, you create confusion in his troops, and he loses the advantage of being able to fight you with a single, massive charge.
