Son the Master said:

The control of large numbers is possible, and like unto that of small numbers, if we subdivide them.

If we use drum, bell, and flag, the direction of large forces is possible, and like unto the direction of small forces.

By the skilful interchange of ordinary and extraordinary manœuvres, is the enemy most certainly defeated.

Like the fall of a jagged rock upon an egg, so should the forces, strong and united, be dashed against the enemy’s empty unpreparedness.

Moreover, the collision with the enemy having occured, victory is obtained with the "strategic" force.
