遠交近攻/Yuan Jiao Jin Gong – Befriend the Far, Attack the Near
原文：形禁勢格，利從近取，害以遠隔。上火下澤。
Original Text: If your formation is restricted & momentum hindered, it is advantageous to take what is near, thereby keeping harm at a distance. Fire above, a pool below.
解析：當作戰目標受地理條件所限時，攻打近敵有利，攻打遠敵有害。對遠隔的敵人，如有利於已，也可以暫時聯合。
Analysis: When your combat objectives are limited by geographical conditions, attacking a nearby enemy is advantageous while attacking a distant enemy is harmful. Opposing a distant enemy later can be advantageous, as it is possible to form a temporary alliance.
