Winning Stratagems (勝戰計) Stratagem 3
借刀殺人
Jiè dāo shā rén
Kill with a borrowed knife
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.
