There is also a saying that form is accumulated energy and potential is released energy.
The potential mentioned in this article seems to have multiple meanings.
The general's marching mode (combat situation) in the war situation is not too strange
Power lies in "courage and fear, potential also"
Geographical and other external situations in "being good at fighting and seeking potential"
Momentum energy in "As for the stone drifter, the potential is also"
The combat situation in "its potential is dangerous, its section is short"
This article not only discusses the tactics of soldiers, but also discusses the potential of all aspects in the battle.
In fact, it is not bad to understand the situation here as the strength of the army.
Soldiers are cunning, and the general's tactical and strategic skills are a kind of potential in themselves.
