Opportunities vouchsafed by Heaven are outmatched by terrestrial advantages, which in turn are outmatched by the harmony among people.

Explain the weather and season that is conducive to combat, rather than explain the geographical situation that is conducive to combat; The geographical situation conducive to combat is not as good as the will of the people and internal unity in combat.

original text

Opportunities vouchsafed by Heaven are outmatched by terrestrial advantages, which in turn are outmatched by the harmony among people. The city of three miles, the country of seven miles, was invincible when attacked by the Lord of the Rings. If the husband attacks it, it will be the right time, and if it is invincible, it will be the right place. The city is not too high, the pond is not too deep, the army is not very profitable, and there is not much rice, so it is not as good as people and peace.

To annotate ...

Weather: including season, climate, even political situation and other conditions beyond human power.

Geographical location: refers to the geographical location conducive to combat.

Human harmony: refers to the unity among the people in the war.

Lisan City: the inner city of Lisan in Fiona Fang. City: inner city. The city is not high: the city walls are not high.

Guo: Outer city. A wall built outside the city.

Based on the factors that determine the outcome of the war, this paper expounds the decisive role of "human harmony" in the victory of the war by comparing the three conditions of "good time", "geographical location" and "human harmony" This leads to the conclusion that "those who gain the Tao will help more, and those who lose the Tao will help less", and expounds the necessity of implementing "benevolent government"

This paper adopts the method of layer-by-layer reasoning to demonstrate. At the beginning, I put forward the argument that "the weather is not as good as the geographical position, and the geographical position is not as good as the harmony between people", and then demonstrated it with examples, and then elaborated and extended it accordingly, and finally reached a conclusion, which is very logical.
