[Cao Cao said: It is also possible to use troops and power. 〕
Sun Tzu said: Where to govern the crowd is like governing the widow, so is the division of skills.

All warriors, with the right combination, with the odd victory.

Therefore, those who are surprisingly good are infinite as heaven and earth,
Inexhaustible as a river.
After the end, the sun and the moon are also; the resurrection from the dead is also the four o'clock.
No more than five,
The change of five tones is unbeatable to hear;
But five colors,
The change of five colors is invincible; the taste is not five,
The changes in the five flavors are invincible to taste;
[Cao Cao said: Since the infinity is like the heaven and the earth has fallen, it is the infinity of Yu Qizheng. 〕The battle situation is only odd and positive, and odd and positive changes are invincible and poor.
Qizheng is still living together, like a ring for no reason, who can be poor
The disease of water, as far as the boulder is, the potential is also; the attack of the bird of prey, as the ruin, the festival is also.

〔Cao Cao said: Chaotic banners are used to show the enemy, and golden drums are used to align them. 〕
Chaos and chaos, round and invincible.
[Cao Cao said: The car rides around. Those who are round in shape have the right way to go in and out, and they are neat and tidy. ] Chaos is born in governance, cowardice is born out of courage, weak is born out of strong.

[Cao Cao said: To lure the enemy with profit, keep the enemy away from the base, so as to attack the emptiness and solitude. 〕Move it positively, treat it strangely.
〔Cao Cao said: Yili also moves the enemy. 〕
Therefore, those who are good at war seek the situation and blame the people, so they can release the people and take the power.
[Cao Cao said: Those who seek the power of the situation have the right to do all things. Those who do not blame others have the right to become clear. 〕Those who are in power, their warriors are also like turning wood and stone. The nature of wood and stone: tranquility leads to tranquility, danger leads to movement; squareness leads to stop, roundness leads to action.
〔Cao Cao said: Let the natural situation be. 〕
Therefore, the good fighters and the people are also like turning a cobblestone on the mountain of Qianren.
[Translation]
Sun Tzu said: The management of a large army is like the management of a small army. This is a matter of hierarchical coordination and strict organization; to command a large army like a small army, this is a question of command and order; There are so many troops throughout the country that it is a matter of "exceptional" tactics to prevent them from failing when they are attacked by the enemy; to attack the enemy, it must be invincible like hitting an egg with a stone. This is the ingenuity.
In general combat, always be the enemy and win by the odds. Therefore, a good general must be good at surprising victory, and his tactics are like endless changes in the world and endless rivers. The end and the beginning, as if the sun and the moon are moving; the resurrection from the dead, as if the four seasons alternate. Although there are only five kinds of sounds, their changes can produce countless beautiful music. There are only five colors, and the change of the five colors will produce colorful tones. There are only five flavors, but have you tasted all of the world’s food
The form of war is only to confront the enemy or send out surprise soldiers; however, the changes are endless. It's like rotating along a circle, who can come to the end? The turbulent water can easily hit the stones and even surface, this is precisely because of the situation; fierce birds can easily kill the birds on the ground, this is because of the proper rhythm. Therefore, smart generals always like to rely on dangerous situations, so he can grasp the initiative of action and launch a rhythmic and fierce attack. This situation is as powerful as a crossbow and rhythmic like a loom.
Fighting in a state of chaos is bound to make the enemy's troops more chaotic. The so-called enemy chaos, we are not chaotic, in the state of unknown offensive, we must first stand in an invincible position, use the team flexibly and freely, so that the enemy can not take advantage. Under certain conditions, "chaos" and "ruling", "cowardly" and "brave", and "weak" and "strong" are all relative. "Controlling chaos" mainly depends on the power of the monarch; "brave and cowardice" depends on which side the situation is beneficial to; "strong and weak" is the rationing condition of the army's strength. Therefore, generals who are good at command can confuse the enemy with false appearances, or lure them (for example, give supplies, supplies, etc.). To lure the enemy with small profits, the enemy is bound to be commanded by our army. Therefore, a commander who is good at command always focuses his attention on the "situation" instead of blindly pursuing deployment; therefore, he can select excellent fighters and change the situation by fighting the enemy. The person who is good at changing the "situation" is the person who is best at fighting. This is as easy as turning a pile of wood or stones. The characteristic of wood and stone is that when there is no external force, they are always still; once they encounter the impact of external force, they will move due to external force. The movement of wood and stone in flat and steep places is different. Wood is more stable, but stone is easy to roll; therefore, a smart general is good at using the situation, just like throwing wood and stone from a mountain of thousands of feet. The same, flying in. This is the so-called "potential" in the military!
