《智囊(选录)·兵智部·王朴》
他们一定会奔走救援，在奔走之间，我们就能看出他们的虚实、强弱，然后我们避开防卫坚固的地方，攻击武力薄弱的地方，这样一来一定战无不胜。那么长江北岸的各州，都将归我们所有。
彼奔走以救弊，则奔走之间，我可窥其虚实。避实击虚，所向无前，则江北诸州举矣。
They are bound to rush to the rescue, and in the meantime, we will be able to see their strengths and weaknesses, and then we will avoid areas with strong defenses and attack areas with weak defenses, so that we will surely be invincible. Then all the states on the north bank of the Yangtze River will belong to us.
