欲擒故縱/Yu Qin Gu Zong – To Capture, First Release
原文：逼則反兵；走則減勢，緊隨勿迫。累其氣力，消其鬥志，散而後擒，兵不血刃。需，有孚，光。
Original Text: Pressure leads to resistance; running leads to dispersed momentum, follow closely but don’t press. Wear down his vigor, diminish his will to fight, disperse & then capture, an effortless victory. In need there is trust & light.
解析：逼敵過甚，會遭到反撲；讓它逃跑，則可以削弱它的氣勢，只須緊跟隨在後面，消耗敵之體力，達到兵不血刃而勝。這是《易經·需》的原理。
Analysis: If you press the enemy too closely it’s possible to suffer a counter attack; allowing him to escape can weaken his vigor, but you must follow closely behind, causing him to use up his physical strength, to achieve “no blood on the men’s swords,” & be victorious. This is Yi Jing’s Xu Gua principle.
