WAR TIP: Never do open battle near a river.
LESSON 143
DO NOT MOVE FROM DOWNSTREAM TO UPSTREAM
The text states that you should not go against the current, but this can be taken to mean do not be downstream. It is difficult to walk upstream against the flow and easier to move with the flow downstream. The Chinese commentator Jia Lin states that this is to stop you from being flooded or poisoned, and Du Mu says that this is to stop the enemy using the river’s power to destroy any water craft you have. However, as it would be impossible to only travel downstream while on military campaign, this point is most likely concerned with the positioning of troops in relation to the enemy when battle is imminent.
WAR TIP: Always be upstream of the enemy.
