Management of many is the same as management of few. It is a matter of organization.

It is the rule in war, if ten times the enemy's strength, surround them; if five times, attack them; if double, be able to divide them; if equal, engage them; if fewer, defend against them; if weaker, be able to avoid them.

Hence the experienced soldier, once in motion, is never bewildered; once he has broken camp, he is never at a loss.

He will win who knows how to handle both superior and inferior forces.

In war, practice dissimulation and you will succeed.

Now this foreknowledge cannot be elicited from spirits; it cannot be obtained inductively from experience, nor by any deductive calculation.

Go into emptiness, strike voids, bypass what he defends hit him where he does not expect you.
