Cross the ocean in disguise
Besiege Wei to rescue Zhao
Kill with a borrowed knife
Conserve Your Strength
Loot a Burning House
Distract in the East then strike from the West
Create something out of nothing
Advance to Chen Cang by a hidden route
Watch the fires burning across the river
Conceal a dagger behind a smile
Sacrifice the plum tree for the peach tree
Take a goat in passing
Beat the grass to startle the snake
Raise a corpse from the dead
Lure the tiger from his mountain lair
Let your competitor have an apparent escape route
Throw out a brick in order to gain a jewel
Defeat your competitor through his chief
Remove the fire from the cooking pot
Disturb the water in order to catch the fish
The cicada sheds its skin
Shut the door to catch the thief
Befriend a distant competitor while attacking a close competitor
Negotiate a route to attack a competitor
Replace the beams with rotten timbers
Point at the mulberry tree while cursing the locust tree
Feign foolishness
Remove the ladder after the competitor ascends
Put false blossoms on the tree
Exchange places with the host
Beauty trap
Empty city stratagem
Sow discord in the competitors organisation
Pretend to injur yourself
Combine tactics to win
If all else fails retreat
