Hold out baits to entice the enemy. Feign disorder, and crush him.
取, as often in Sun Tzŭ, is used in the sense of 擊. It is rather
remarkable that all the commentators, with the exception of Chang
Yü, refer 亂 to the enemy: “when he is in disorder, crush him.” It
is more natural to suppose that Sun Tzŭ is still illustrating the
uses of deception in war.
