《管子·匡君大匡》
天下各国拥兵十万的不少，我们要发动小的兵力征服大的兵力，国内脱离民众，国外诸侯戒备，我们自己也只好行诈，国家想不危险能办到么？ 
天下之国带甲十万者不鲜矣，吾欲发小兵以服大兵。内失吾众，诸侯设备，吾人设诈，国欲无危，得已乎？ 
There are a lot of countries in the world with 100,000 soldiers. If we want to conquer a large army with a small army, we will be alienated from the people domestically, and the princes abroad will be on guard. We ourselves will have to resort to deceit. How can our country not be in danger?"
