Five generals dangerous during war

The strategy for employing the army, do not rely on their not coming, but depend on us having the means to awaits them. Do not rely on their not attacking, but depend on us having unassailable posotion. Thus generals have 5 dangerous :-

  1. One committed to dying can be slain.
  2. One committed to living can be captured.
  3. One (easily) angered and hasty (to act) can be insulted.
  4. One obsessed with being scruplous and untainted can be shamed.
  5. One who loves the people can be troubled.
