Chinese: + +尉繚子 + + +尉繚 + + + +天官第一 + + +梁惠王問尉繚子曰:『黃帝刑德,可以百勝,有之乎?』尉繚子對曰:『 +刑以伐之,德以守之,非所謂天官時日陰陽向背也。黃帝者,人事而已矣 +。 + +『今有城,東西攻不能取;南北攻不能取;四方豈無順時乘之者耶?然不 +能取者,城高池深,兵器備具,財穀多積,豪士一謀者也。若城下池淺守 +弱,則取之矣。由此觀之,天官時日不若人事也。 + +『按天官曰:「背水陣為絕地,向阪陣為廢軍。」武王伐紂,背濟水向山 +阪而陣,以二萬二千五百人,擊紂之億萬而滅商,豈紂不得天官之陣哉! + +『楚將公子心與齊人戰,時有彗星出,柄在齊。柄所在勝,不可擊。公子 +心曰:「彗星何知?以彗鬥者固倒而勝焉。」明日與齊戰,大破之。 +『黃帝曰:「先神先鬼,先稽我智。」謂之天官人事而已。』 + + + +兵談第二 + + +量土地肥墝而立邑,建城稱地,以城稱人,以人稱粟。三相稱,則內可以 +固守,外可以戰勝。戰勝於外,備主於內,勝備相用,猶合符節,無異故 +也。 + +治兵者,若秘於地,若邃於天,生於無,故關之。大不窕,小不恢,明乎 +禁舍開塞,民流者親之。地不任者任之。夫土廣而任則國富,民眾而制則 +國治。富治者,民不發軔,甲不出暴,而威制天下。故曰:「兵勝於朝廷 +。」不暴甲而勝者,主勝也;陣而勝者,將勝也。 + +兵起,非可以忿也,見勝則興,不見勝則止。患在百里之內,不起一日之 +師;患在千里之內,不起一月之師;患在四海之內,不起一歲之師。 + +將者,上不制於天,下不制於地,中不制於人,寬不可激而怒,清不可事 +以財。夫心狂、目盲、耳聾,以三悖率人者難矣。 + +兵之所及,羊腸亦勝,鋸齒亦勝,緣山亦勝,入谷亦勝,方亦勝,員亦勝 +。重者如山、如林、如江、如河,輕者如炮、如燔、如垣壓之,如雲覆之 +,令人聚不得以散,散不得以聚,左不得以右,右不得以左。兵如總木, +弩如羊角,人人無不騰陵張膽,絕乎疑慮,堂堂決而去。 + + + +制談第三 + + +凡兵,制必先定,制先定則士不亂,士不亂則形乃明。金鼓所指,則百人 +盡鬥。陷行亂陣,則千人盡鬥。覆軍殺將,則萬人齊刃。天下莫能當其戰 +矣。 + +古者,士有什伍,車有偏列,鼓鳴旂麾,先登者未嘗非多力國士也,先死 +者亦未嘗非多力國士也。 + +損敵一人,而損我百人,此資敵而傷甚焉,世將不能禁。征役分軍而逃歸 +,或臨戰自北,則逃傷甚焉,世將不能禁。殺人於百步之外者弓矢也,殺 +人於五十步之內者矛戟也,將已鼓而士卒相囂,拗矢折矛抱戟,利後發, +戰,有此數者,內自敗也,世將不能禁。士失什伍,車失偏列,奇兵捐將 +而走,大眾亦走,世將不能禁。夫將能禁此四者,則高山陵之,深水絕之 +,堅陣犯之。不能禁此四者,猶亡舟楫,絕江河,不可得也。 + +民非樂死而惡生也,號令明,法制審,故能使之前。明賞於前,決罰於後 +,是以發能中利,動則有功。 + +令百人一卒,千人一司馬,萬人一將,以少誅眾,以弱誅強。試聽臣言, +其術足使三軍之眾,誅一人無失刑,父不敢舍子,子不敢舍父,況國人乎 +? + +一賊仗劍擊於市,萬人無不避之者,臣謂:「非一人之獨勇,萬人皆不肖 +也」。何則?「必死與必生,固不侔也。」聽臣之術,足使三軍之眾為一 +死賊,莫當其前,莫隨其後,而能獨出獨入焉。獨出獨入者,王伯之兵也 +。 + +有提九萬之眾,而天下莫能當者,誰?曰:「桓公也。」有提七萬之眾, +而天下莫敢當者,誰?曰:「吳起也。」有提三萬之眾,而天下莫敢當者 +,誰?曰:「武子也。」今天下諸國士所率無不及二十萬眾者,然不能濟 +功名者,不明乎禁舍開塞也。明其制,一人勝之,則十人亦以勝之也。十 +人勝之,則百千萬人亦以勝之也。故曰:「便吾器用,養吾武勇,發之如 +鳥擊,如赴千仞之谿。」 + +今國被患者,以重幣出聘,以愛子出質,以地界出割,得天下助,卒名為 +十萬,其實不過數萬爾。其兵來者,無不謂將者曰:「無為人下,先戰。 +」其實不可得而戰也。 + +量吾境內之民,無伍莫能正矣。經制十萬之眾,而王必能使之衣吾衣,食 +吾食。戰不勝,守不固者,非吾民之罪,內自致也。天下諸國助我戰,猶 +良驥騄耳之駃,彼駑馬鬐興角逐,何能紹吾後哉? + +吾用天下之用為用,吾制天下之制為制,修吾號令,明吾刑賞,使天下非 +農所得食,非戰無所得爵,使民揚臂爭出農、戰,而天下無敵矣。故曰: +「發號出令,信行國內。」 + +民言有可以勝敵者,毋許其空言,必試其能戰也。 + +視人之地而有之,分人之民而畜之,必能內有其賢者也。不能內有其賢, +而欲有天下,必覆軍殺將。如此,雖戰勝而國益弱,得地而國益貧,由國 +中之制弊矣。 + + + +戰威第四 + + +凡兵,有以道勝,有以威勝,有以力勝。講武料敵,使敵之氣失而師散, +雖形全而不為之用,此道勝也。審法制,明賞罰,便器用,使民有必戰之 +心,此威勝也。破軍殺將,乘闉發機,潰眾奪地,成功乃返,此力勝也。 +王侯如此,所以三勝者畢矣。 + +夫將之所以戰者民也,民之所以戰者氣也。氣實則鬥,氣奪則走。 + +刑未加,兵未接,而所以奪敵者五:一曰廟勝之論;二曰受命之論;三曰 +踰垠之論;四曰深溝高壘之論;五曰舉陣加刑之論。此五者,先料敵而後 +動,是以擊虛奪之也。 + +善用兵者,能奪人而不奪於人。奪者心之機也,令者一眾心也。眾不審則 +數變,數變則令雖出眾不信矣。 + +故令之之法,小過無更,小疑無申。故上無疑令,則眾不二聽,動無疑事 +,則眾不二志,未有不信其心而能得其力者也,未有不得其力而能致其死 +戰者也。 + +故國必有禮、信、親、愛之義,則可以飢易飽;國必有孝、慈、廉、恥之 +俗,則可以死易生。古者率民必先禮信而後爵祿,先廉恥而後刑罰, +先親愛而後律其身。 + +故戰者必本乎率身以勵眾士,如心之使四肢也。志不勵則士不死節,士不 +死節則眾不戰。 + +勵士之道,民之生不可不厚也。爵列之等,死喪之親,民之所營不可不顯 +也。必也因民所生而制之,因民所營而顯之,田祿之實,飲食之親,鄉里 +相勸,死喪相救,兵役相從,此民之所勵也。 + +使什伍如親戚,卒伯如朋友。止如堵牆,動如風雨,車不結轍,士不旋踵 +,此本戰之道也。 + +地所以養民也,城所以守地也,戰所以守城也,故務耕者民不飢,務守者 +地不危,務戰者城不圍。三者,先王之本務也,本務者兵最急。 + +故先王專務於兵,有五焉,委積不多則士不行;賞祿不厚則民不勸;武士 +不選則眾不強;器用不便則力不壯;刑罰不中則眾不畏。務此五者,靜能 +守其所固,動能成其所欲。 + +夫以居攻出,則居欲重,陣欲堅,發欲畢,鬥欲齊。 + +王國富民,伯國富士,謹存之國富大夫,亡國富食府,所謂上滿下漏,患 +無所救。 + +故曰:「舉賢任能,不時日而事利;明法審令,不卜筮而事吉;貴功養勞 +,不禱祠而得福。」又曰:「天時不如地利,地利不如人和。」聖人所貴 +,人事而已。 + +夫勤勞之師,將必先己,暑不張蓋,寒不重衣,險必下步,軍井成而後飲 +,軍食熟而後飯,軍壘成而後舍,勞佚必以身同之。如此,則師雖久,而 +不老不弊。 + + + +攻權第五 + + +兵以靜勝,國以專勝。 + +力分者弱,心疑者背。夫力弱故進退不豪,縱敵不擒,將吏士卒動靜一身 +。心既疑背,則計決而不動,動決而不禁,異口虛言。將無修容,卒無常 +試,發攻必衄,是謂疾陵之兵,無足與鬥。 + +將帥者心也,群下者支節也。其心動以誠,則支節必力;其心動以疑,則 +支節必背。夫將不心制,卒不節動,雖勝幸勝也,非攻權也。 + +夫民無兩畏也,畏我侮敵,畏敵侮我。見侮者敗,立威者勝。凡將能其道 +者,吏畏其將也;吏畏其將者,民畏其吏也;民畏其吏者,敵畏其民也。 +是故,知勝敗之道者,必先知畏侮之權。 + +夫不愛悅其心者,不我用也;不嚴畏其心者,不我舉也。愛在下順,威在 +上立,愛故不二,威故不犯。故善將者,愛與威而已。 + +戰不必勝,不可以言戰;攻不必拔,不可以言攻。不然雖刑賞不足信也。 +信在期前,事在未兆,故眾已聚不虛散,兵出不徒歸,求敵若求亡子,擊 +敵若救溺人。 + +分險者無戰心,挑戰者無全氣,鬥戰者無勝兵。凡挾義而戰者,貴從我起 +,爭私結怨,應不得已。怨結雖起,待之貴後,故爭必當待之,息必當備 +之。 + +兵有勝於朝廷,有勝於原野,有勝於市井,鬥則得,服則失,幸以不敗, +此不意彼驚懼而曲勝之也。曲勝,言非全也。非全勝者,無權名。故明主 +戰攻日,合鼓合角,節以兵刃,不求勝而勝也。 + +兵有去備徹威而勝者,以其有法故也。有器用之蚤定也,其應敵也周,其 +總率也極。故五人而伍,十人而什,百人而卒,千人而率,萬人而將,已 +周已極,其朝死則朝代,暮死則暮代,權敵審將,而後舉兵。 + +故凡集兵千里者旬日,百里者一日,必集敵境。卒聚將至,深入其地,錯 +絕其道,棲其大城大邑,使之登城逼危,男女數重,各逼地形,而攻要塞 +。據一城邑,而數道絕,從而攻之,敵將帥不能信,吏卒不能和,刑有所 +不從者,則我敗之矣。敵救未至,而一城已降。 + +津梁未發,要塞未修,城險未設,渠答未張,則雖有城無守矣。遠堡未入 +,戍客未歸,則雖有人無人矣。六畜未聚,五穀未收,財用未歛,則雖有 +資無資矣。夫城邑空虛而資盡者,我因其虛而攻之。法曰:「獨出獨入, +敵不接刃而致之。」此之謂矣。 + + + +守權第六 + + +凡守者,進不郭圉,退不亭障,以禦戰非善者也。豪傑雄俊,堅甲利兵, +勁弩強矢,盡在郭中,乃收窖廩,毀拆而入保,令客氣十百倍,而主之氣 +不半焉。敵攻者,傷之甚也,然而世將弗能知。 + +夫守者,不失險者也。守法,城一丈十人守之,工食不與焉。出者不守, +守者不出,一而當十,十而當百,百而當千,千而當萬,故為城郭者,非 +特費於民聚土壤也。誠為守也。 + +千丈之城則萬人守之,池深而廣,城堅而厚,士民備,薪食給,弩堅矢強 +,矛戟稱之,此守法也。 + +攻者不下十餘萬之眾,其有必救之軍者,則有必守之城;無必救之軍者, +無必守之城。 + +若彼城堅而救誠,則愚夫愚婦無不蔽城,盡資血城者。期年之城,守餘於 +攻者,救餘於守者。若彼城堅而救不誠,則愚夫愚婦無不守陴而泣下,此 +人之常情也,遂發其窖廩救撫,則亦不能止矣。必鼓其豪傑雄俊,堅甲利 +兵,勁弩強矢并於前,么麼毀瘠者并於後。 + +十萬之軍頓於城下,救必開之,守必出之。出據要塞,但救其後,無絕其 +糧道,中外相應。 + +此救而示之不誠,示之不誠,則倒敵而待之者也。後其壯,前其老,彼敵 +無前,守不得而止矣,此守權之謂也。 + + + +十二陵第七 + + +威在於不變;惠在於因時;機在於應事;戰在於治氣;攻在於意表;守在 +於外飾;無過在於度數;無困在於豫備;謹在於畏小;智在於治大;除害 +在於果斷;得眾在於下人。 + +悔在於任疑;孽在於屠戮;偏在於多私;不詳在於惡聞己過;不度在於竭 +民財;不明在於受間;不實在於輕發;固陋在於離質;禍在於好利;害在 +於親小人;亡在於無所守;危在於無號令。 + + + +武議第八 + + +凡兵不攻無過之城,不殺無罪之人。夫殺人之父兄,利人之財貨,臣妾人 +之子女,此皆盜也。故兵者所以誅亂禁不義也。兵之所加者,農不離其田 +業,賈不離其肆宅,士大夫不離其官府,由其武議在於一人,故兵不血刃 +,而天下親焉。 + +萬乘農戰,千乘救守,百乘事養。農戰不外索權,救守不外索助,事養不 +外索資。 + +夫出不足戰,入不足守者,治之以市。市者,所以給戰守也。萬乘無千乘 +之助,必有百乘之市。 + +凡誅者所以明武也,殺一人而三軍震者,殺之。殺一人而萬人喜者,殺之 +。殺之貴大,賞之貴小,當殺而雖貴重必殺之,是刑上究也。賞及牛童馬 +圉者,是賞下流也。夫能刑上究賞下流,此將之武也,故人主重將。 + +夫將提鼓揮枹,臨難決戰,接兵角刃,鼓之而當,則賞功立名,鼓之而不 +當,則身死國亡。是存亡安危在於枹端,奈何無重將也。 + +夫提鼓揮枹,接兵角刃,居以武事成功者,臣以為非難也。古人曰:「無 +蒙衝而攻,無渠答而守。是謂無善之軍。視無見,聽無聞,由國無市也。 +夫市也者,百貨之官也,市賤賣貴,以限士人。人食粟一斗,馬食菽三斗 +,人有飢色,馬有瘠形,何也?市有所出,而官無主也。夫提天下之節制 +,而無百貨之官,無謂其能戰也。 + +起兵,直使甲冑生蟣蝨,必為吾所效用也。鷙鳥逐雀,有襲人之懷,入人 +之室者,非出生也,後有憚也。 + +太公望年七十,屠牛朝歌,賣食盟津,過七十餘而主不聽,人人謂之狂夫 +也。及遇文王,則提三萬之眾,一戰而天下定,非武議安得此合也。故曰 +:「良馬有策,遠道可致;賢士有合,大道可明。」 + +武王伐紂,師渡盟津,右旄左鉞,死士三百,戰士三萬。紂之陳億萬,飛 +廉、惡來身先戟斧,陳開百里。武王不罷市民,兵不血刃,而克商誅紂, +無祥異也,人事修不修而然也。 + +今世將考孤虛,占咸池,合龜兆,視吉凶,觀星辰風雲之變,欲以成勝立 +功,臣以為難。夫將者,上不制於天,下不制於地,中不制於人。故兵者 +,凶器也。爭者,逆德也。將者,死官也。故不得已而用之。 + +無天於上,無地於下,無主於後,無敵於前。一人之兵,如狼如虎,如風 +如雨,如雷如霆,震震冥冥,天下皆驚。 + +勝兵似水,夫水至柔弱者也,然所以觸,丘陵必為之崩,無異也,性專而 +觸誠也。今以莫邪之利,犀兕之堅,三軍之眾,有所奇正,則天下莫當其 +戰矣。 + +吳起與秦戰,舍不平隴畝,樸嫩蓋之,以蔽霜露,如此何也?不自高人故 +也。乞人之死不索尊,竭人之力不責禮,故古者甲冑之士不拜,示人無已 +煩也。夫煩人而欲乞其死,竭其力,自古至今,未嘗聞矣。 + +將受命之日,忘其家,張軍宿野忘其親,援枹而鼓忘其身。吳起臨戰,左 +右進劍。起曰:「將專主旗鼓爾,臨難決疑,揮兵指刃,此將事也。一劍 +之任,非將事也。」 + +三軍成行,一舍而後成三舍,三舍之餘,如決川源。望敵在前,因其所長 +而用之。敵白者堊之,赤者赭之。 + +吳起與秦戰未合,一夫不勝其勇,前獲雙首而還。吳起立命斬之。軍吏諫 +曰:「此材士也,不可斬!」起曰:「材士則是也,非吾令也。」斬之。 + + + +將理第九 + + +凡將,理官也,萬物之主也,不私於一人。夫能無私於一人,故萬物至而 +制之,萬物至而命之。 + +君子不救囚於五步之外,雖鉤兵射之,弗追也。故善審囚之情,不待菙楚 +,而囚之情可畢矣。 + +笞人之背,灼人之脅,束人之指,而訊囚之情,雖國士有不勝其酷,而自 +誣矣。 + +今世諺云:「千金不死,百金不刑。」試聽臣之術,雖有堯、舜之智,不 +能關一言;雖有萬金,不能用一銖。 + +今夫決獄,小圄不下數十,中圄不下數百,大圄不下數千。十人聯百人之 +事,百人聯千人之事,千人聯萬人之事,所聯之者,親戚兄弟也,其次婚 +姻也,其次知識故人也。是農無不離田業,賈無不離肆宅,士大夫無不離 +官府。如此關聯良民,皆囚之情也。兵法曰:「十萬之師出,日費千金。 +」今良民十萬,而聯於囹圄,上不能省,臣以為危也。 + + + +原官第十 + + +官者,事之所主,為治之本也。制者,職分四民,治之分也。貴爵富祿必 +稱,尊卑之體也。 + +好善罰惡,正比法,會計民之具也。均井地,節賦斂,取予之度也。程工 +人,備器用,匠工之功也。分地塞要,殄怪禁淫之事也。 + +守法稽斷,臣下之節也。明法稽驗,主上之操也。明主守,等輕重,臣主 +之權也。明賞賚,嚴誅責,止姦之術也。審開塞,守一道,為政之要也。 + +下達上通,至聰之聽也。知國有無之數,用其仂也。知彼弱者,強之體也 +。知彼動者,靜之決也。 + +官分文武,惟王之二術也。俎豆同制,天子之會也。遊說間諜無自入,正 +議之術也。 + +諸侯有謹天子之禮,君臣繼世,承王之命也。更造易常,違王明德,故禮 +得以伐之。官無事治,上無慶賞,民無獄訟,國無商賈,何王之至?明舉 +上達,在王垂聽也。 + + + +治本第十一 + + +凡治人者何?曰:「非五穀無以充腹,非絲麻無以蓋形。」故充腹有粒, +蓋形有縷,夫在芸耨,妻在機杼,民無二事,則有儲蓄,夫無雕文刻鏤之 +事,女無繡飾纂組之作。 + +木器液,金器腥,聖人飲於土,食於土,故埏埴以為器,天下無費。今也 +,金木之性不寒,而衣繡飾;馬牛之性食草飲水,而給菽粟。是治失其本 +,而宜設之制也。 + +春夏夫出於南畝,秋冬女練於布帛,則民不困。今短褐不蔽形,糟糠不充 +腹,失其治也。 + +古者土無肥瘠,人無勤惰,古人何得,今人何失耶?耕者不終畝,織者日 +斷機,而奈何飢寒。蓋古治之行,今治之止也。 + +夫謂治者,使民無私也。民無私,則天下為一家,無私耕私織,共寒其寒 +,共飢其飢。故如有子十人,不加一飯;有子一人,不損一飯,焉有喧呼 +酖酒以敗善類乎? + +民相輕佻,則欲心與爭奪之患起矣。橫生於一夫,則民私飯有儲食,私用 +有儲財,民一犯禁,而拘以刑治,烏有以為人上也。善政執其制,使民無 +私,則為下不敢私,則無為非者矣。 + +反本緣理,出乎一道,則欲心去,爭奪止,囹圄空,野充粟多,安民懷遠 +,外無天下之難,內無暴亂之事,治之至也。 + +蒼蒼之天,莫知其極,帝王之君,誰為法則?往世不可及,來世不可待, +求己者也。 + +所謂天子者四焉:一曰神明;二曰垂光;三曰洪敘;四曰無敵。此天子之 +事也。 + +野物不為犧牲,雜學不為通儒。今說者曰:「百里之海,不能飲一夫;三 +尺之泉,足止三軍渴。」臣謂:「欲生於無度,邪生於無禁。」 + +太上神化,其次因物,其下在於無奪民時,無損民財。夫禁必以武而成, +賞必以文而成。 + + + +戰權第十二 + + +兵法曰:「千人而成權,萬人而成武。權先加人者,敵不力交;武先加人 +者,敵無威接。」故兵貴先勝於此,則勝彼矣;弗勝於此,則弗勝彼矣。 +凡我往則彼來,彼來則我往,相為勝敗,此戰之理然也。 + +夫精誠在乎神明,戰權在乎道所極。有者無之,無者有之,安所信之。 + +先王之所傳聞者,任正去詐,存其慈順,決無留刑。故知道者,必先圖不 +知止之敗,惡在乎必往有功。輕進而求戰者,敵復圖止,我往而敵制勝矣 +。故兵法曰:「求而從之,見而加之,主人不敢當而陵之,必喪其權。」 + +凡奪者無氣,恐者不可守;敗者無人,兵無道也。意往而不疑則從之,奪 +敵者無前則加之,明視而高居則威之,兵道極矣。 + +其言無謹偷矣,其陵犯無節破矣,水潰雷擊三軍亂矣。必安其危,去其患 +,以智決之。 + +高之以廊廟之論,重之以受命之論,銳之以踰垠之論,則敵國可不戰而服 +。 + + + +重刑令第十三 + + +夫將自千人以上,有戰而北,守而降,離地逃眾,命曰「國賊」。身戮家 +殘,去其籍,發其墳墓,暴其骨於市,男女公於官。自百人以上,有戰而 +北,守而降,離地逃眾,命曰「軍賊」。身死家殘,男女公於官。使民內 +畏重刑,則外輕敵。 + +故先王明制度於前,重威刑於後。刑重則內畏,內畏則外輕矣。 + + + +伍制令第十四 + + +軍中之制,五人為伍,伍相保也。十人為什,什相保也。五十為屬,屬相 +保也。百人為閭,閭相保也。 + +伍有干令犯禁者,揭之免於罪,知而弗揭,全伍有誅。什有干令犯禁者, +揭之免於罪,知而弗揭,全什有誅。屬有干令犯禁者,揭之免於罪,知而 +弗揭,全屬有誅。閭有干令犯禁者,揭之免於罪,知而弗揭,全閭有誅。 + +吏自什長以上,至左右將,上下皆相保也。有干令犯禁者,揭之免於罪, +知而弗揭之,皆與同罪。 + +夫什伍相結,上下相聯,無有不得之姦,無有不揭之罪,父不得以私其子

Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including including checks, online payments and credit card +donations. To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + https://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. |
