Teaching set

Tiger Secret Teachings 4.2 (32)

Observed lessons

Consider the different ways of deploying forces, based on different key factors.

Discussion

The three deployments are 'Heavenly', 'Earthly' and 'Human'. 'Heavenly' means aligning with the stars (astrological). 'Earth' means aligning with territory. 'Human' means using horses and chariots or both civil and martial means. Civil means of warfare include diplomacy and spying.

These are probably not a complete set of considerations, although they could be used as a simple test framework by asking whether weather, geography and human elements have been taken account of during planning.
