The Sovereign's Most Precious Faculty

"Knowledge of the enemy's dispositions can only be obtained from other men.

Hence the use of spies, of whom there are five classes: (1) Local spies; (2) inward spies; (3) converted spies; (4) doomed spies; (5) surviving spies.

When these five kinds of spy are all at work, none can discover the secret system.

This is called "divine manipulation of the threads."

It is the sovereign's most precious faculty."

Sun Tzu,
Chinese general, military strategist, and philosopher who lived in the Spring and Autumn period of ancient China. Sun Tzu is the author of The Art of War.
