The Army. The army needs perseverance
And a strong one.
Good fortune without blame.

In the middle of the earth is water:
The image of the Army.
Thus the superior one increases one's masses
By generosity toward the people.

Changing Lines

Line 1: Yin Firming

An army must set forth in proper order.
If the order is not good, misfortune threatens.

Line 2: Yang Opening

In the midst of the army.
Good fortune. No blame.
The sovereign bestows a triple decoration.

Line 3: Yin Firming

Perchance the army carries corpses in the wagon.
Misfortune.

Line 4: Yin Firming

The army retreats. No blame.

Line 5: Yin Firming

There is game in the field.
It furthers one to catch it.
Without blame.
Let the eldest lead the army.
The younger transports corpses;
Then perseverance brings misfortune.

Line 6: Yin Firming

The great princex issues commands,
Founds states, vests families with fiefs.
Inferior people should not be employed.
