Entice your opponent into leaving their weak points undefended

Be the first to arrive at the scene of conflict
The first to arrive has the advantage of the time to rest and reflect on their strategy.

Leave open what looks like an escape route or an easy route to victory
By enticing the opponent’s leaders with the illusion of easy success or an escape route, you can trick the opponent into a position where they cannot retreat or defend themselves effectively. Or, push them to take an illusionary escape route that in reality, you have full control over.
