Let your rapidity be that of the wind, 367 your compactness that of the forest. 368

In raiding and plundering be like fire, 369 in immovability like a mountain. 370

Let your plans be dark and impenetrable as night, and when you move, fall like a thunderbolt. 371

When you plunder a countryside, let the spoil be divided amongst your men; 372 when you capture new territory, cut it up into allotments for the benefit of the soldiery. 373
