Defensive Stratagem: Sacrifice a small part to save the whole

This Skill Bit talks about the “Sacrifice a small part to save the whole” stratagem, which involves giving up minor resources, territory, or personnel to protect the larger entity. It trades short-term losses for long-term gains, such as sacrificing troops or territory to avoid greater harm or secure a better position. Success depends on carefully weighing the value of the sacrifice against the benefits, ensuring it strengthens the overall strategy without weakening the main objectives.
