31. The beauty trap
This stratagem is where one employs a beautiful woman to seduce the enemy. The beauty of a woman can be used in so many levels. It has been said throughout history that the beauty of a woman can overthrow an empire. The charm of a beauty can subdue any enemy, seduces any men, and influences every decision. The power of a beauty lies on her softness, indirectness and subtle approaches that can change the course of history.
Using the beauty trap, you will be able to neglect the enemy leader’s duties. Seducing the enemy through a beauty will bring about negligence, jealousy, envy, conflicts, demoralization, and separation of loyal people. When the enemy indulges in pleasure, the enemy will lose his will and forgets his duties. Valuable information and knowledge can also be obtained to turn the tide. This will bring about the enemy’s weaknesses which you will be able to take advantage of. That is what one calls “the beauty trap“.
