三十六計/ San Shi Liu Ji – The Thirty six Stratagems Number 34

苦肉計/Ku Rou Ji – Self Harm Stratagem

原文:人不自害,受害必真;假真真假,間以得行,童蒙之吉,順以巽也。

Original Text: People do not harm themselves, so you must receive a genuine injury; fake or real, real or fake, it must be competently executed to gain by sowing discord. The luck of the young & ignorant, arrange to use his obedience.

解析:人們通常不會自己傷害自己,真真假假使敵方信以為真,離間計就能夠實現了,利用敵人的弱點,如同對付無知幼童,順著他的意思,他就任你擺佈。

Analysis: People normally do not harm themselves, whether genuinely real or deceptively false it causes the enemy to take it as true, you must be capable of driving a wedge between friends & allies with this scheme in order to achieve it & take advantage of the enemy’s weak point. It’s like handling an ignorant young child, go along with his ideas, as soon as he trusts you arrange to spread trouble.
