Thus the good fighter is able to secure himself against defeat, but cannot make certain of defeating the enemy.

By altering his arrangements and changing his plans, the skillful general keeps the enemy without definite knowledge.

At the critical moment, the leader of an army acts like one who has climbed up a height and then kicks away the ladder behind him.
