  1. 故用兵之法高陵勿向背邱勿逆
  2. 佯北勿從銳卒勿攻
  3. 餌兵勿食歸師勿遏

— this is the art of studying circumstances.

33. It is a military axiom not to advance uphill against the enemy, nor to oppose him when he comes downhill.

34. Do not pursue an enemy who simulates flight; do not attack soldiers whose temper is keen.

35. Do not swallow bait offered by the enemy. Do not interfere with an army that is returning home.
