HOLY SHIT...there is a sun-tzu chapter about this if I am not mistaken.
A very rough summary (things left out/different, hard to remember the exact details).
It's about a war where one side being heavily under-armed/undermanned so they leave the gates open to the area which the enemy want's to capture... The area is perfectly serene and peaceful, no one in sight... the enemy was to afraid to enter...
Its roughly like that, a castle was about to be absolutely destroyed due to being out numbered so the leader opened a gate and began playing a lute near the entrance. Attacking leader thought it was an obvious trap so they turned around and didnt attack.
Never thought about this...very interesting!

Correct me if I am wrong about this.
