三十六计英文-Thirty-Six Stratagems 23. Befriend a distant state while attacking a neighbour 三十六计
三十六计英文
24. Borrow a route to conquer Guo
This stratagem advises using an ally's strategic location as a launch point for
your own troops. One benefit is that a "middleman" gets the heat, and your own
homeland can be saved from becoming a battlefield. Another benefit is that your
forces can be stationed longterm on friendly turf so that problems of supply
line management are limited in severity. And a third benefit is that if your
battle is successful, you now have your troops stationed in somebody else's
kingdom.
Again, though a superficial glance shows that this stratagem opens the way for
treachery and takeover, it can be used to allow for mutual benefit. Without
attempting outright conquest, the US has stationed troops in other countries as
part of NATO agreements and has thus persuaded weaker allies to send their best
and brightest to US schools, to trade ideas with us, and to become more open to
the products that we market. The strategy has also given our own young men and
women the opportunity to see other cultures and get a better picture of the
vastness of the world in which we live. While US policy overseas has not been
perfect, by borrowing a route to defend Europe and America from Russian
Communism, the US also helped defuse radical fascism and present lawful
democracy to the world as a successful form of government.
Husbanding your strength is the principle on which this stratagem rests. As Sun
Tzu has noted, the ideal situation is one in which you conserve your own energy
while forcing the opponent to use up his energy. Thus, gaining benefit from
others outside the fray is another means of preserving your resources. Hiring
lawyers, spokespeople, agents, and personal representatives are all ways in
which people today borrow a route in order to conquer. They hire others to take
on the responsibilities and pressures of a given conflict. Any time you persuade
or hire somebody to act as your middleman or representative, you have borrowed a
route to conquer Guo, buffering yourself as you pursue your campaign.
