Sima Qian's The Art of War and the Biography of Wu Qi in the Western Han Dynasty: "A good fighter is guided by the situation."

During the Warring States Period, there was a general named Sun Bin in the State of Qi. He strategized, won thousands of miles, and used his troops like gods. At that time, Wei attacked South Korea, and South Korea asked Qi for help. Qi sent Tian Ji as general, Sun Bin as strategist, and led the troops to attack Wei. During the battle, Sun Bin took advantage of the enemy's arrogance and contempt for the Qi army to give advice to Tian Ji. He said, "A good soldier should guide him because of his potential." He suggested adopting the strategy of reducing the number of stoves day by day, pretending to be defeated and fleeing, and luring the enemy deeper. Tian Ji adopted his strategy. Proud Wei Jun was caught and swaggered into a dangerous area called Maling with the Qi army. At this time, the soldiers who had been lying in ambush were in full swing, and Wei Jun annihilated them in one fell swoop. This is the famous "Maling Battle" in history. Sun Bin took advantage of the enemy's pride and lured him to the bait, so he won the battle.
