Generals with Soldiers Ninety Thousand Miles Away

The one who dies is to use it as a way, and to attack it is to use it; the one who dies at the top is wise and brave, the one who dies in the middle is high in martial arts, and the one who dies at the bottom is loose and brave. The general is the master, he divides the troops in a proper way, manages the camp in a lawful manner, conducts his operations in a disciplined manner, fights with a plan, and attacks with skill, this is the superior general. In the way of fighting, strength is the basis, and skills are close to the body; those who are brave are fearless, and those who are strong are brave. When you are facing the enemy, you should first intimidate his courage and make his soldiers strong, then frighten his mind and make the formation chaotic, and then divide his ranks so that he does not care about the front and back, and does not cooperate with the left and right, then he will win. If there are banners and drums, only if the soldiers are strong, the armor is strong, the horses are strong, and the swords are sharp, and the generals are resourceful and brave, know the method, use surprise troops to destroy their food routes, and wait for a few days without enough food, then they can fight; if their soldiers are weak, with mighty divisions, they can win a great victory!
