The Classical Strategy

Attack using the strength of another. When an enemy's intentions are clear, use an ally's hand to strike them down. Conserve your own energy while achieving your goal.

☯ Metaphysical Application

In BaZi: Use the 'Resource' element (Generates Day Master) to exhaust the 'Officer' element (Attacks Day Master) — resolving conflict without direct confrontation.
