见胜不过思人之所知, 非善之善者也。
Know the ken of the common herd is not enough.
故善战者, 立于不败之地, 而不失敌之败也。
不失敌之败 equals does not miss the moment for defeating the enemy.
是故胜兵先胜而后求战
We need to lay plans before the battle.
胜者之战民也, 若决积水于千例之豁者, 形也。
This kind of conquering force, it’s like the bursting of pent-up waters into a chasm.
