《孫子兵法》第八篇：九變
Chapter 8: Variation in Tactics (Nine Variations)
1. 孫子曰：凡用兵之法，將受命于君，合軍聚眾。
孫子說：帶兵打戰的原則是，主將必須領受君王的軍令，他的責任是整合軍隊、結集民眾。
Sun Tzu said: The rule in war is, the general must accept the commands from his monarch. His responsibility is to integrate forces and gather people.
2. 圮地無舍，衢地交和，絕地勿留，圍地則謀，死地則戰。
凡不利於行軍的區域不要紮營，在交通發達的地區要跟四周的鄰居交好，不可逗留或居留在危險的地方，誤入敵人包圍區時要設法盡快脫離，陷入死地時就必須戰鬥。
Do not encamp in an unfavorable region, make friends with neighbors when passing through heavy traffic areas, do not linger or stay in a dangerous district, find ways to quickly leave if surrounded by hostile people, must fight when falling into desperate situations.
