1. The one who has the temple before the battle is considered the winner can be considered as more; the one who has the temple before the battle is not considered the winner can be considered as the less. More counts will win, less counts will not win, and what’s more, nothing will count! ---- Sun Tzu

2. "Wind Forest Volcano": It is as fast as the wind, as slow as the forest, as invasive as fire, and as motionless as a mountain.

3. A general is one who is wise, trustworthy, benevolent, courageous, and strict.

4. Therefore, there are five ways to know victory: He who knows what he can and cannot fight wins; he who knows the crowd wins. The one who makes use of the few wins; the one who has the same desire from above and below wins; the one who waits for surprises but not the ones who are surprised wins; the one who is capable but the king does not control them wins. These five people know the way to victory. ---- Sun Tzu

5. Therefore, those who do not know the plans of the princes cannot make friends; those who do not know the shape of mountains, forests, dangers, and swamps cannot march; those who do not use rural leaders cannot benefit from the terrain. Therefore, the army is established by deception, moved by advantage, and divided and combined to change. Therefore, it is as fast as the wind, as slow as the forest, as aggressive as fire, as motionless as a mountain, as unpredictable as the clouds, and as moving as thunder. Loot the countryside to divide the people, divide the territory, and move with power. The person who predicts and uses a straightforward strategy will win. This is the method of military warfare. ----Sun Wu
