Of the mysterious, the functions




An expert of war has the saying:
I not dare to become a host,
but become a guest.
Not I dare to advance an inch but withdraw a foot.

This is called marching the not-marching,
threatening without arms,
charging without hostility,
seizing without weapons.
Evil none greater than making light the enemy.
By making light of the enemy
we will lose our treasures.

Therefore matched armies mutually encounter,
the weaker one conquers, indeed.
