孙子曰:凡用兵之法,驰车千驷,革车千乘,带甲十万,千里馈粮,则内外之费,宾客之用,胶漆之材,车甲之奉,日费千金,然后十万之师举矣。其用战也,贵胜,久则钝兵挫锐,攻城则力屈,久暴师则国用不足。夫钝兵挫锐,屈力殚货,则诸侯乘其弊而起,虽有智者,不能善其后矣。故兵闻拙速,未睹巧之久也。夫兵久而国利者,未之有也。故不尽知用兵之害者,则不能尽知用兵之利也。

善用兵者,役不再籍,粮不三载;取用于国,因粮于敌,故军食可足也。

国之贫于师者远输,远输则百姓贫;近师者贵卖,贵卖则百姓财竭,财竭则急于丘役。力屈财殚,中原内虚于家。百姓之费,十去其七;公家之费,破车罢马,甲胄矢弩,戟楯蔽橹,丘牛大车,十去其六。

故智将务食于敌,食敌一钟,当吾二十钟;萁秆一石,当吾二十石。

故杀敌者,怒也;取敌之利者,货也。故车战,得车十乘以上,赏其先得者,而更其旌旗。车杂而乘之,卒善而养之,是谓胜敌而益强。

故兵贵胜,不贵久。故知兵之将,民之司命,国家安危之主也。
