Translations

In all combat, it is necessary to first determine the titles and titles of officials at all levels in the military, announce the reward and punishment system, accept the rangers from all sides, issue military orders, solicit the opinions of the masses, recruit skilled personnel, consider in many ways, find out the root causes of various situations, distinguish and deduce difficult problems, accumulate strength, seek ingenuity, and act according to the will of the people.

Combat must: consolidate the spirit of the army, discern the interests and harms, manage chaos, advance and stop in moderation, obey justice, stimulate shame, simplify laws and regulations, use less punishment, and stop minor crimes; if those who commit minor crimes succeed, those who commit major crimes will follow.

Conforming to the heavens, gathering funds and wealth, convincing people's hearts, making use of terrain, and attaching importance to the use of weapons are the five things that must be considered in combat. To conform to the weather is to take advantage of the weather season and act according to the time and conditions. To gather funds is to use enemy materials to enhance our strength. To be pleasing to the hearts of the people is to conform to the will of the masses and to encourage the soldiers to kill the enemy. The use of terrain is to control the terrain such as passes, dangers, and obstructions. Attaching importance to the use of weapons means that in battle, it is necessary to use bows and arrows to cover, spears to resist, and goji to assist.

These five weapons have five uses, long weapons are used to cover short weapons, and short weapons are used to remedy the deficiencies of long weapons. The "five weapons" can be sustained in turn, and all of them can form a powerful force. When you find the enemy's new weapons, you should imitate them in order to maintain a balance of power with the enemy. The main general must be good at encouraging soldiers and soldiers and consolidating the morale of the army, but also carefully observe the changes in the enemy's situation and take corresponding actions.

The will of the general and the will of the soldier must be unified, the horses, cattle, and soldiers must be fed and rested, and the vehicles and weapons must be properly maintained, so that they can have the strength to fight. Training focuses on peacetime, and combat focuses on command. A general is like a human torso, a pawn is like a human limb, and a soldier is like a human finger, and it must be coordinated like them in order to command and use it freely.

Operational commanders must use wisdom and strategy, combat operations must rely on bravery, and the army must be skillfully and flexibly deployed. Strive to achieve your intentions, but also do what you can, and don't do things that go against your intentions and abilities. For the enemy, the opposite is to make him do what he does not want to do or cannot do.

Whoever fights should have heaven, wealth, and goodness. When there is a good opportunity not to miss, divination has a sign of victory and secret action, which is called "there is a day". The people are rich and the national strength is abundant, which is called "having wealth." Soldiers and soldiers are well trained, skilled in formation, and materials and equipment are prepared in advance, which is called "having goodness." Everyone can do their best to complete the combat mission, which is called "Happy Man".

The army is strong and consolidated, the soldiers are full and skilled, the selection of various talents to manage affairs, and the insight into various situations to cope with sudden events are pre-prepared.

The chariots are brisk, the infantry is elite, and the bows and arrows are enough to hold on, which is a powerful army.

The concentration of troops, the calmness of the army, and the high morale are all forms of consolidation. With such a position and a suitable advance and retreat, this is to enhance combat effectiveness.

The main general is calm and unhurried, and the troops are well trained, which is well-trained. Everything is responsible for someone, which means that everything is managed. Everyone is competent in his or her position and can distinguish the priorities of things, which is to employ people properly.

Measuring the strength of our army, determining the formation of our army in accordance with the terrain conditions and the enemy's situation; grasping the changes in attack, battle, and defense, the timing of advance, retreat, or stop, and paying attention to the order of the front and back and the coordination of the chariot and the infantry are all things that should be considered in the face of war.

Disobedience to superiors, distrust, disharmony with each other, dereliction of duty, mutual suspicion, disgust with combat, fear of the enemy, scattered military spirit, mutual blame, grievances, fatigue, unscrupulousness, disintegration, and lax discipline are all scourges of combat.

Pride is extreme, fear is too great, soldiers are groaning and noisy, the army is worried and afraid, and the order will change, which will lead to the destruction of the army.

The momentum should be loud and small, the tactics should be rigid and soft, the formation should be used for participation, and the troops should be used more or less.

General combat, reconnaissance of enemy situations at a distance with spies, close with observation. In combat with troops, we must seize the opportunity and adapt ourselves to financial resources. Within the military, we must uphold honesty and guard against suspicion. To raise troops, we must seize the opportunity to do things, we must give favors to personnel, we must be calm in the face of the enemy, we must be calm in the face of chaos, and we must not forget the troops in the face of danger and difficulties.

To govern the country, it is necessary to give favors and stress credit, to govern the army with generosity and majesty, and to be decisive and agile in the face of the battle. To govern the country, it is necessary to be harmonious from top to bottom, the laws and regulations on the management of the army and the soldiers must be strict, and the situation must be clearly observed before the front. In this way, governing the country can be loved by the people, governing the army can be respected by soldiers and soldiers, and being trusted by the whole army can be in the front.

In general, the ranks of the army require both evacuation in order to use weapons and density in order to facilitate combat. Weapons must be used in a variety of ways, and soldiers must be well trained and calm, so that the formation can be maintained strictly. If the authority is clear and accurate, and the faithful are obeyed from top to bottom, everyone can work hard. Repeated success in planning can be convincing. If everyone is satisfied and convinced, things can be done in turn. Only when the banner is clear can the troops see it clearly. Once the operational plan has been determined, the determination should be strengthened. Those who are uncertain and have no plans to meet the enemy should be punished. When you are in the front, do not use the golden drum randomly, and do not change the flag easily, so as not to cause illusion and confusion.

Anything that is good can be guaranteed for a long time, and things that are done according to the ancient law can be smoothly implemented. When the oath of battle is clear and powerful, morale will be strong and all enemies will be destroyed. The way to destroy the enemy: First, use morality. It is to inspire the enemy with honesty, to intimidate the enemy with might, to create a situation that unifies the world, and to make people happy and convinced, so that we can win over the enemy's people for our own use. The second is to use power to plot. It is to try to encourage the arrogance of the enemy, to seize the enemy's key points, to attack it from the outside with troops, and to use spies to respond from the inside.

The first is to recruit talented people, the second is to be serious about law and discipline, the third is to pay attention to propaganda, the fourth is to stress skill, the fifth is to make good use of fire attack, the sixth is to be accustomed to water warfare, and the seventh is to improve weapons. Honor, profit, shame, punishment, these are the four means of law and discipline. Reasoning in a pleasant manner or disciplining them harshly is only for the purpose of converting people from evil to good. All of these are ways to govern the army.

Only benevolence can bring people close. But to speak only of benevolence and not of faith will lead to defeat.

In employing people, we must know that people are good at their duties, upright people must first correct themselves, their words must be solemn, and fire attacks must be used appropriately.

Principles of general warfare: Morale has been boosted, followed by the promulgation of discipline. Treat the soldiers with kindness and be pleasant, and teach the soldiers to be earnest in words. To warn them by taking advantage of their fear, to use them by taking advantage of their desires, to control the favorable terrain when entering the enemy's territory, and to assign them tasks according to the position of the generals.

All the rules and regulations that people are required to implement should be derived from the demands of the public. In the trial, it was tested whether it lived up to its name and was effective. And strive to implement it properly and thoroughly. If there is something that can be done but is not done, the general must personally take the lead in doing it. If everything is done, and then the troops are required to bear these guidelines in mind, after many repeated implementations, rules and regulations are formed, and these rules and regulations that meet people's requirements are called "laws."

The methods of controlling chaos are, first, benevolence, second, credit, third, uprightness, fourth, reunification, fifth, morality, sixth, power change, and seventh, centralized command.

To establish the rule of law, first, it must be acceptable. Second, the laws and regulations must be strict, third, the laws must be followed, fourth, we must act vigorously, fifth, we must stipulate uniforms at all levels, sixth, we must use color to distinguish ranks, and seventh, we must make officials dress according to regulations and must not be chaotic.

Governing the army and enforcing the decrees is called "specialty" who is completely ruled by the general. Only those who obey unanimously from top to bottom are called "laws." The army should obey the unified command orders and not the informal legends. When fighting, do not covet small profits, plan to be successful in counting days, and action requirements are secretive, which is the way to govern the army.

In ordinary combat, if normal methods do not work, they must use arbitrariness, and those who disobey will be punished by military law. If we do not believe in each other, we must unify our understanding; if the military is slack, we should encourage them; if the subordinates have doubts and fears, they should try to change this situation; if the subordinates do not trust the orders of the superiors, they must resolutely implement them and not change them easily. These are all methods of fighting in the army since ancient times.
