作戰篇 NO.5:
故知勝有五:知可以戰與不可以戰者勝,識眾寡之用者勝,上下同欲者勝,以虞待不虞者勝,將能而君不御者勝。
此五者,知勝之道也。
這句啥意思:
所以,預見勝利有五個方面:能準確判斷仗能打或不能打的,勝;知道根據敵我雙方兵力的多少采取對策者,勝;全國上下,全軍上下,意愿一致、同心協力的,勝;以有充分準備來對付毫無準備的,勝;主將精通軍事、精于權變,君主又不加干預的,勝。
以上就是預見勝利的方法。
英文這么說:
Thus we may know that there are five essentials for victory: He will win who knows when to fight and when not to fight. He will win who knows how to handle both superior and inferior forces. He will win whose army is animated by the same spirit throughout all its ranks. He will win who, prepared himself, waits to take the enemy unprepared. He will win who has military capacity and is not interfered with by the sovereign.
The above is method to foresee victory.
