Chapter 185
"Taibai Yin Jing" cannot be regarded as a simple military book, and strictly speaking, some of the content is not too directly related to the soldiers:
The scripture says: A virtuous man is born in the world, has no place of origin, no noble ancestry, no strange appearance, no wisdom and bravery; Those who get it, in the heart of the Ming King, the Tao is united and like-minded, and the letter is smooth, like water on the ground, first flowing wet, like a fire in the original, first on its dryness. Therefore, Yiyin has the cultivator of Xin, the bartender of Xia Gui, and the soup is between the cooking, and the rise is released. The drum knife of the Taigong Dynasty Song, the selling of the pulp of the Thorn Jin, Zhou Dezhi was under the cripping Lun, killing and standing Wu Geng. The soldiers were sent to stumble, begging for food with bows and arrows, and they were raised to the wind, and they were greeted by the lower steps, and they were silent for three days, and there was no doubt. Fan Li was born in the ruins of five households, when he was a child, he was blind and deaf, and he was called crazy at the time. Guan Yiwu was bound to Lu, and Qi Huan was left to his own devices. Baili Xi is self-defeating, and Qin Mu is in charge. Han Xinnan Zheng's death, Huaiyin's coward, and Henkel's return to him. Therefore, it is said: "The heart of the Ming Jun is like the Ming Prison and the Chengquan." "The circle is in the middle, and the shape is outside, so that the virtuous can do not lose its time. If it is not the sight of the heart, not the knowledge of wisdom, because of the sight of people, borrowed from people's hearing, it is still dizzy and deaf, and the deaf man is sobbing and yellow, and the palace sign is incoherent in the heart, and wants to win people, and fortunately his uncle, there is no one. Therefore, the five emperors prospered in their way, and the three kings lost their way and abandoned. The way to abolish the rejuvenation is in the heart of the master and the use of the virtuous, not in the strong army, the vast land, the people, and the wealth of the country.
The scripture says: At the beginning of the ancient times, there was the Baihuang clan, as for the Rongcheng clan, people were self-transformed without ordering, people were self-aligned without punishment, people were self-persuaded without reward, they didn't know anger, they didn't know joy, and Yu Ran was like a child. The Xuanyuan clan, the Tao Tang clan, and the Youyu clan are punished but not complained. The government of the three emperors is based on the Tao, and the government of the five emperors is based on virtue. declined, Tang Wu abolished morality and was resourceful. ...... Qin appointed Shang Yang and Li Si Zhizhi and merged the princes; Han appointed Zhang Liang and Chen Ping Zhizhi and destroyed Xiang Ji; Guangwu appointed Kou Sui and Feng Yi Zhizhi and surrendered to Fan Chong; Cao Gong appointed Xu Yu and Cao Ren Zhizhi and broke Yuan Shao; Sun Quan appointed Zhou Yu and Lu Su Zhizhi and defeated Wei Wu; Liu Bei appointed Zhuge Liang Zhizhi and Wang Xishu; Jin appointed Du Pre Wang Jun's wisdom and Ping Wu; Fu Jian appointed Wang Meng's wisdom and determined the people of the Eight Tables; Shi Le appointed Zhang Bin's wisdom and captured Wang Wei alive; Tuoba appointed Cui Hao's wisdom and Baohe Shuo's teacher; Yuwen appointed Li Mu's wisdom and frustrated Gao Huan's sharpness; Liang appointed Wang Sheng's wisdom and killed Hou Jing; Sui appointed Gao Xi's wisdom and bound Chen Zhu's face; Taizong appointed Li Jing's wisdom and defeated Jieli Khan. Those who have a country have not become kings without wisdom. Therefore, it is said: The general's affairs are to be quiet and reasonable, to observe the subtleties with God, and to serve things with wisdom. Seeing the blessing in the heavy pass, and worrying about the outside of the underworld, will be resourceful.
These two points are representative of this. However, it can be seen from this content that the theory of yin and yang attaches great importance to "harmony".
......
The scripture says: Those who are good at using soldiers in ancient times will value the power of the world and study the concerns of the princes. If the power is not judged, we do not know the name of the severity and the strength of the weakness; we do not judge the feelings, and we do not know the movements of hidden changes. It is not difficult to know, it is not difficult to know, it is not difficult to do everything, and it is not difficult to do things, these three, the saint can do anything, so the soldier has the skill of winning a hundred battles, and the good is not good; it is better to surrender without a fight, and the good is good. The husband uses stratagem on the top, then on personnel, and on the lower part of the war. Use the schemer to confuse the lord of the enemy country, to divert the courtiers, to support it with things, to confuse the witch, to make it respect the ghosts and gods, to emphasize its colorful embroidery, to make it cheap, to empty its warehouse, to leave the beauty, to make the Yingqi will, to leave the skillful craftsman, to raise the palace high platform, to exhaust its wealth, Serve their strength, change their sexuality, change their obscenity, extravagant and arrogant, virtuous ministers stammer, Mo Ken helps, indiscriminately reward and punish lewdness, let them be happy and angry, government decrees do not work, believe in the ghosts of the shrine, go against the loyalty, ask for public deeds, and have no sage's government, love and be with officials, no merit and reward, no work is rewarded, happy is forgive, anger is wanton killing, the law is self-obedience, orders are not done, belief in yarrow turtles, divination, ghosts, prayer shrines, slander, miraculous skills, wandering in the door, the so-called yes, none of them, all of them. On the occasion of leaving the monarch and minister, the road of loyalty is stopped, and then the lust is used, the attack is profitable, the entertainment is fun, and the taste is raised. Faith is deception, deception is faith, loyalty is rebellion, and rebellion is loyalty. Those who are faithful die, and those who are flattering are rewarded. The gentleman is in the opposition, the villain is in power, the urgent order is tyrannical, the person is unbearable, the so-called unfought conspiracy is poured into, and the country has been broken.
With soldiers, its king can be captured, its country can be conquered, its city can be pulled out, and its people can be defeated. Therefore, Tang used this to release, Zhou used this to kill, Yue used this and Wu Guoxu, Chu used this and Chen Caiju, the three families used this and Lu was weak, and Han Wei used this to divide the Eastern Zhou. The words of Confucianism all say: "Those who are strong will win, and those who are weak will perish." "Yes, the king of a small country has no business of the king, and the lord of ten thousand times has no sign of ruin; in the past, Xia was wide and the soup was narrow, Yin was big and Zhou was small, the weaker and Wu was strong, the so-called victor without a fight, the art of yin inclination, the way of nocturnal walking, and the teaching of civil and military affairs. The saint is clearly alone, Xin Ran is alone, and he is here!
The scriptures say: The ancients, the neighboring countries looked at each other, the chickens and dogs smelled each other, and the footprints were not connected to the realm of the princes, the tracks were not thousands of miles away, and the road survived, and the people lived happily. In later generations, the wind rose and was simple and scattered, power and wisdom were used to live by deceit, and neighboring countries used spies to deal with each other.
Xu Shouren and righteousness, Sheji Qiu Xu. Lu Zun Rumo, the temple was extinguished. If you don't know the subtleties, you can't resist the enemy, you can't think hard, you can't do the truth, you can't become famous if you don't know the situation, you can't use soldiers if you don't know the intelligence, you can't use soldiers, you can't be faithful and not true, you can't know people. Therefore, Mr. Guigu described the "Confession", "Speculation", "Flying Clamp", "Resisting the Peak", in order to teach Su Qin and Zhang Yi to lobby in the Six Kingdoms and explore the hearts of the princes, so he practiced the arts! Those who do not agree, but ask for it, it should be out, get its heart, reflect its meaning, should not lose, fit the same, glue and paint, no repeated, such as raising the bow by the bow, every Meng's arrow, all the shots are correct, still set up a sloppy, to catch the fish and rabbit, Zhang Qihui, the waist, the threat of its void, will rush to the outline and hang the eyes, but also ridicule the legacy!
The heart of a man who explores benevolence must be faithful, not wealth, the heart of a warrior must be righteous and not fearful, the heart of a wise man must be loyal and not deceitful, the heart of a fool must be concealed and not clear, the heart of unscrupulous people must be feared and not taken for granted, and the heart of wealth must be bribed and not cheap. The words of the husband and the wise man depend on the knowledge, the wisdom has the end and the knowledge is endless, then the wisdom can not measure the knowledge; and the words of the wise man, according to the discernment, the ancient master and the discernment, but now can not be distinguished. According to the nobles, depending on the situation, if the position is high and the power is high, the position cannot be forbidden. According to the rich, depending on things, wealth accumulates wealth and things are treasured, then wealth is not enough to make treasures. Speaking to the poor, depending on profit, poverty and scarcity and abundance, lack can not be abundant. Speaking with the lowly, depending on humility, the lowly person is humble and humble, then the lowly can not be humble. Speaking with the brave, depending on the dare, the courage is not afraid and the courage is resolute, then the courage cannot be deterred. Speaking with the fool, depending on the sharp, the foolish and simple and the sharp and smart, then the simple can not be perceived. These eight are all the same, but they are different from each other. People want to hear what they want to hear, but they don't know what they say. In this way, it is not shallow or deep, and I have no interruptions, no depths, no interruptions, no impenetration, no one who goes alone, one who goes longitudinally or horizontally, like a withered grass, which makes the east and east, and the west that goes west, if the water is stopped, it flows, and if it is stopped, it will stop, and there is no way to do it!
The husband is noble, not noble. Those who control others hold power, and those who control others obey orders. The art of controlling others is to avoid the strengths of others and attack the shortcomings of others; to see one's own strengths and hide one's own shortcomings. Therefore, the movement of the beast must be followed by the claws, the movement of the fowl must be the first distance, the movement of the stinging insect must be poisoned, and the movement of the insect must be the armor. Husbands, birds, beasts, insects, and pigs still use their strengths to make things, and their wise men are like them! Those who are good at talking about morality will be bent with benevolence and righteousness; those who are good at talking about Confucianism and ink will be able to control them with vertical and horizontal control; and those who are good at talking about the law will be defeated by power and skill. I will take advantage of its beginning, and merge its end, destroy its teeth, and drop its horns, and I will not use my right hand. Xu Yiqing's words made him happy and happy, so that his god could not be the master of his heart. Longevity, happiness, wealth, honor, voice, joy, and celebration, death, sorrow, poverty, humiliation, torture, punishment, and condolences. Talk with the noble, the words will be sad, and talk with the lowly, and the words will be happy. Its heart, to meet its intentions, or to celebrate or hang, to confuse its ambition, the mood changes in the inside, the deformation in the outside, often to see and see what it hides, the so-called hidden heart of the art also. Although there is the way of the first king, the art of sage wisdom without this is not enough to become the cause of the king.
The scriptures say: Those who have a rebellious army in the country are cowardly, have soft instruments, have inconsistent government orders, and have unclear rewards and punishments, and do not have any precautions! The upper conspiratory, the lower frustrated; the upper order, the lower no. Fierce as a tiger, very like a wolf, and uncontrollable, they are all called chaotic armies, and each should be punished. Wen Xuanzhu Shaozheng is in the two views, and Lu Guoqing; Tian Sui Tho beheaded Zhuang Jia under the table, and the army was solemn; Wei Xuan bladed Yang Gan and the princes obeyed; Xiang Ji beheaded Song Yi, and the world was terrified. Those who punish the rich will benefit from their power, and those who kill the strong will increase their power. Authoritarianism is born in the body of the strong,
It's not about the mediocrity of soldiers. Those who are strong and talented, then they will control it, teach and guide it, such as animals and birds, such as raising tigers, they will control their hunger and thirst, splendor their claws, stumble their feet, and stagnate their tongues. Those who are strong and strong on the left and right and have no talents will grow their evil, accumulate their fierceness, indulge their hearts, and cross their wills, and the disasters will be caused by the three armies and the grievances of ten thousand people. Then punish it, to strengthen my spirit. Therefore, it is said: "Those who are not good people are the assets of good people." "For the general, the teacher of the country, if you don't punish the strong, how can you become the majesty of the three armies!
These contents are mainly said to be the way of generals and even kings, in which the general trusts the officers and soldiers under his command, and the monarch trusts the civil and military forces of his subordinates, which is the focus.

In the second volume of the Taibai Yin Sutra, its content focuses on a people-oriented military theoretical system.
The scripture says: If a soldier is not moral and righteous, although he has the world, the gentleman will not take it. Zhou De declined, the princes made their own rites and music, specialized in conquest, starting from Lu Yin Gong, Qi with skills to attack strong, Wei with martial arts, Qin with sharp soldiers. The speaker takes Sun and Wu as the sect, and only Xun Qing is clear in the royal way. It is said: Qi's technical attack is the soldier of the country, the warrior of Wei is the soldier of the dangerous country, and the sharp soldier of Qin is the soldier of rewarding and profit. As for the teachers of Qi Huan and Jin Wen, it can be said that they have entered their domain and are restrained. Therefore, the skill of Qi cannot meet the warriors of Wei, the warriors of Wei cannot be defeated by the warriors of Qin, the warriors of Qin cannot be the temperance of Huanwen, and the temperance of Huanwen cannot be the benevolence and righteousness of Tang Wu. Therefore, it is said: "Those who are good teachers do not fight, those who are good do not fight, those who are good at fighting are not defeated, and those who are good at defeat do not die." ”
The Yellow Emperor is independent of the central government and wins over the four emperors, and the so-called good teachers are not in battle. Tang Wu conquered, Chen Shi swore to the public, let go of the capture, and the so-called good ones did not fight. Qi Huan subdued the strong Chu in the south and made the tribute Zhou room, and the northern expedition to the mountains opened the way for Yan, and the so-called good fighters were undefeated. King Zhao of Chu suffered the disaster of Lu, the country perished, his father and brother and Ben Qin asked for help, the Qin people sent troops, the king of Chu rebelled against the country, and the so-called good losers did not die. All soldiers, so survive and die, save the chaos and eliminate harm, so Yi, Lu Zhi's generals, descendants have a country, and Yin Zhou, down to the last generation, Gou Ren deceitful and greedy, Sun, Wu, Han, Bai disciples, all were killed, and the descendants were not passed on to the heirs. Soldiers, murder weapons, warriors, dangers. Conspiracies against morality, good use of murder weapons, immorality, faithfulness can not use soldiers to determine the disaster of the world, and remove the harm of the people.
The scripture says: The way of the first king, harmony is precious. Expensive and heavy, people are not yet at war. "The Biography of the Zuo Family in the Spring and Autumn Period" said: "If the prince is the prince of Desui, who dares to disobey the king; if he uses force, the city of Chu is regarded as a city, and the Han water is regarded as a pool, although the army is numerous, it is useless." Therefore, the Jin mourning envoy Wei Qian and Rong, with the Zheng Zhuhua, eight years, the princes of Jiuhe, such as the harmony of music, everything is harmonious, Qiang Rong also returned; For example, hunting deer, Jin people's horns, and Rong people's slaughter.
The master of the way can convince people with virtue, the lord of benevolence, the lord of righteousness, the lord of wisdom, the lord of wisdom, the lord of power, and the lord of power. It is easy to win, but it is difficult to win. The language said: "The first king Yaode did not watch the soldiers, the soldiers moved from time to time, the movement was powerful, the observation was playing, and the play was shockless." "Therefore, there is a meeting of clothes, but there is no alliance of blood, and there is a meeting of leather chariots, but there is no battle array. Soldiers, ominous weapons, have to be used as a last resort. The ancient emperors won the people so much, and the success came out of the crowd, the first Wende was bosom for it; if he was not satisfied, he decorated the jade silk to take it; if he did not come, he ordered the general to train the military horses and sharp armor soldiers, and attack them unprepared and unexpected. The so-called rebellion must be begged, and obedience must be soft. Both soft and soft, you can show virtue. The book says: "The use of the precept is rest, and the use of Dong is powerful." "If the husband is so, then the four are not enough to swallow, and the eight are not enough to the court.
