About This Quote
This quote shows how to win an area that is under attack. You can be sure of succeeding in your attacks if you only attack places that are undefended. If you only defend your own areas, your defense will not be so strong. If you want to ensure the safety of your defense, you can only hold positions that cannot be attacked. This means you must keep the enemy out so they cannot capture or destroy any of your position.
