Type of Generals to Use - Sun Tzu

English: Generals who adopt my strategies would be able to win the battle; he must be retained. Generals who do not adopt my strategies would not be able to win the battle, he must be removed. Besides adopting the proposed plans and strategies, the general must create or take advantage of situations to push for victories.

Modern: 如果将帅听从我计谋，运用他可得胜利，应该留用。如果将帅不听从我计谋，运用他必失败，应该弃之不用。将帅采取了计策，可也需要利用战争走势，以辅佐作战取胜。所谓“势”是根据有利条件而采取相应措施或行动。

Original: 将听吾计，用之必胜，留之。将不听吾计，用之必败，去之。计利以听，乃为之势，以佐其外。势者，因利而制权也。

Hanyu Pinyin: jiàng tīng wú jì, yòng zhī bì shèng, liú zhī. jiàng bù tīng wú jì, yòng zhī bì bài,qù zhī. jì lì yǐ tīng, nǎi wéi zhī shì, yǐ zuǒ qí wài. shì zhě yīn lì ér zhì quán yě.
