Features: When formulating the outline for writing, the author put considerable thought into how to reflect the subtlety of Liu Bocheng's military strategies. After much deliberation, two writing principles were determined: First, adhere to the combination of theory and practice, ensuring both necessary theoretical summaries and analyses of actual battle cases, integrating the analysis of theory with the analysis of battle cases. Second, strive to highlight what is unique to Liu Bocheng, fully demonstrating his distinctive approach to warfare, so that readers can immediately recognize it as his work and not something that can be arbitrarily attributed to anyone. Looking back now, these two principles seem straightforward, but their implementation was not easy. It can be said that the current manuscript still strives to reflect these two principles as much as possible, but there is still a considerable distance to go. Liu Bocheng's military strategies are vast and profound, and they cannot be fully encompassed by this small book of over ten thousand words. It is inevitable that some aspects will be omitted. I have only introduced the essence to the readers, but this may also be nothing more than my subjective wish. Whether what I have introduced truly constitutes the essence remains to be seen through the judgment of the masses.
