Chapter 9: The army on the move

Or March. A more focussed chapter, and more fluent. Describes watching the birds, trees and dust clouds to gather information on the enemy and its movements.
Also, be wary of peace treaties when the enemy is not losing - subsequent planning is almost guaranteed and is only temporary peace.

Chapter 8: Nine Variations

Very short chapter, and appears to be missing some content.

The meaning of the title is unclear, and only partially relevant to the collection of sayings and maxims rather than a single line of argument.

May be about variations in terrain but not enough given here.

Chapter 7: Armies Contending

Contending here means striving to secure a strategic advantage, with or without open conflict, especially on a prospective battlefield. But don’t rush so much the men are exhausted- then they are in danger.

Also the psychological aspects of battle- the spirits of the soldiers, mind of the general, and mood of the enemy altogether.
