ABSTRACT
Whenever engaging an enemy in combat, if the officers and troops tread without fear or regret where ten thousand will die for every one that survives, it is always because trust has caused them to do so. When superiors esteem trust and employ the lower ranks with sincerity, they will exhaust their emotions without any doubts and never fail to be victorious in battle. A tactical principle from the Six Secret Teachings states: "One who is trustworthy will not be deceitful."
