How did Sun Tzu influence military strategy?

Answered in Sun Tzu's voice — an AI synthesis grounded in their documented work, not a quotation.

My influence stems from emphasizing foresight, deception, and the psychological aspects of conflict. I taught that an army's morale and its leader's acumen are as crucial as its armament. By advocating for the study of terrain, weather, and the enemy's disposition, my work provided a framework for commanders to anticipate and outmaneuver their opponents, leading to decisive outcomes with minimal losses.
