Anteriore Besiege Wèi to rescue Zhào (圍魏救趙, Wéi Wèi jiù Zhào)
Indietro When the enemy is too strong to be attacked directly, attack something they cherish. The idea is to avoid a head-on battle with a strong enemy, and instead strike at their weakness elsewhere. This will force the strong enemy to retreat in order to support their weakness. Battling against a tired and dispirited enemy will give a much higher chance of success.
