I mean yeah he was writing for stupid nobles that had no idea what they were doing so he had to include basic things like “you have to feed your army or they will turn on you”
Fun fact: Sun Tzu’s tactics may sound obvious and like a no brainer now. But his book was to teach Chinese nobles how to fight wars. Cause literally if not told, they wouldn’t realize their army needed food.
@CrimsonHeartKatze the art of war was made as a basic 101 guide on how to fight a war for the several idiotic nobles within the chinese dynasties. Suntzu had bore witness to the dumbest nobles just not fighting a sure victory and instead retreating. This basic advice was necessary for the rich idiots in China.
Sun tzu once said for f*** sake, feed your soldiers you idiot. Why do I even need to say this in a very important military book? What the f*** is wrong with all of you feed your man? How is this not obvious to the point I need to say basic strategies.
It’s funny to think about, he wrote the book for nobles so they would be able to strategically win battles, apparently before they consulted Sun Tzu they thought that soldiers didn’t require outlandish things like “sleep” and “food”
@@JamesDenney-z7x not that but a horse even with a carrige can only carry so much food add distance and the fact that you cant endlessly plunder the enemy lands and you get starving soldiers.
I know these seem really basic and simple but that’s exactly what the Art of War is, it’s the most basic simple information for people who had/have no idea how war works, it gives them the most basic knowledge to begin a campaign
Exactly, people act like the stuff he said was genius, and, comparatively to someone who knows nothing about combat, it was. But it was meant for rich nobles who hadn't seen battle.
@@Apol1yarc if you've ever been in a fight/competition or even just a regular high stress situation you'd know how difficult it is to actually remember the basics when you are freaking out but it's important to remember that the basics are basic for a reason. And that reason is that THEY WORK.
@@Apol1yarcnot necessarily. While your statement is technically true, it's not giving a clear view of the full picture. At the time, the government was corrupt and would give high ranking military positions to other members of the mobility, rather than truly experienced soldiers. These generals spent more time reading philosophy than for reading up BARE minimum knowledge. So Sun Tzu's real plan was to make a philosophy book teaching these incompetent officers how to lead an army
@_verdun my brother in brain rot most of the book is common sense,proper positioning and how to properly manage your troops,i.e wages,discipline,morale and rationing. This is made and dumbed down enough in mind for high nobles who hasn't have military experience and out of touch of reality. In chapter one of the book literally says look up so you can tell the time Considering you didn't even know your enemy you didn't exactly read the book either. Plus you didn't even read my comment,i said sun tzu say a common sense then people would go wild about it. You don't even need to read the book to know his saying common sense!
"If you have food your soldiers won't be hungry" "If you have soldiers and your enemy doesn't hve soldiers then you should attack your enemy" "When in a war dying is bad, so avoid dying" -sun tsu (probably)
Sun Tzu specifically made the book for every warlord. And back then, many questionable people was in power of leading an army, henceforth he granted contribution. Just like philosophy, that's why he's considered philosophical
The reason Sun tzu’s advice is so simple is because it wasn’t written to be anything groundbreaking. He was trying to teach Chinese nobility who knew literally nothing about combat how to wage war
Surround the enemy...true...but he also said that...do not surround fully the enemy...let a "free getaway" for them... He explains that it when an enemy is fully surrounded. It will fight to its last breath...unlike when he has a false sensation of salvation...as a free "exit"
On the note of that last one there is another option "All warfare is based on deception." Multiple times in history smaller armies were able to win by making the enemy think they were a larger force
"If you know the enemy, and you know yourself, you need not fear the result of 100 battles. If you know yourself, but not the enemy, for every victory gained, you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy, nor yourself, you will succumb to every battle." - Sun Tzu
"If fighting is sure to result in victory, than you must fight! Sun Tzu said that. And I'd say he knows a little more about fighting than you do, pall, because he *Invented* It!"
The last one seems especially obvious, but a lot of the people commanding the military had no military experience or education, and genuinely believed that each of their fighters was worth more than one enemy fighter
Sun Tzu wasn’t writing for experienced generals, he was writing for the nobility who hadn’t fought a day in their life, let alone actually swung a sword. The kind of people who are so far removed from their armies that they don’t realize that your armies aren’t going to be loyal to you if you don’t treat them right or feed them
"If you know your enemy, and know yourself, you need not fear the results of 1000 battles" i think that was the full quote. Also appreciate for using technoblade's skin.
I mean it's really cramped, no movement can be made. At that point it's just cow waiting to be slaughter. It will be different if they have some room left to fight
“If you know your enemy and know yourself you will never face defeat in 100 battles. If you know yourself and not the enemy, you will lose as many as you win.. If you know not of yourself or your enemy, you will suffer defeat in all 100 battles” -Sum Tzu
“If fighting is to result in victory, then you must fight!” Sun Tzu said that, and I’d say he knows a little more about fighting than you do pal because he invented it! And then he perfected it so that no living Mann could best him in the ring of honor!
"If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle." - Sun Tzu Sabaton has an entire album called "Art of War" where they put all kinds of sun tzu quotes in their songs
Art of War is like loading screen Tips😂 "You can attack the enemy to Start a battle" "If you attack, you should fight offensive" "For st4bbing someone, use a sword or a knife"
Using squidkid and technoblade for the two opposing armies is a nice reference, it also makes sense since technoblade quotes sun tzu multiple times and implemented his strategies during the potato wars The lore is deep on this one 😂
"If fighting is sure to result in victory, then you must fight!'

My personal favorite quote is “regard your soldiers as your children, and they shall follow you into the deepest valleys. Look upon them as your own beloved sons, and they shall stand by you even until death.” (Sabaton fans, you know what to do)
The funny thing about Sun tzu art of war is that it's actually a how to win wars 101 made specifically for Chinese nobles who didnt know the first thing about war
Sun Tzu be like:
"Hit your enemy in the head until they stop attacking you"
Keep in mind that The Art of War was written for people without an ounce of experience in battle, except from books 😂
