Winning Stratagems (勝戰計) Stratagem 2
圍魏救趙
Wéi Wèi jiù Zhào
Besiege Wei to rescue Zhao
The Classical Strategy
When the enemy is too strong to attack directly, attack something he holds dear. Avoid a head-on clash with a superior force. Strike where they are vulnerable to relieve pressure elsewhere.
☯ Metaphysical Application
In Feng Shui: If a direct Sha (killing energy) is too powerful to deflect, activate a favorable element elsewhere that forces the Sha to exhaust itself producing it.
