《将苑·卷二·和人》
如果上下猜忌，互不信任，有谋略的人得不到重用，士卒在背后议论纷纷，谗言与恶念滋生迅速，那么就是有商汤、周武王那样的智慧，也不能打败一般的庸人，更何况是人数众多的敌军呢？
若将吏相猜，士卒不服，忠谋不用，群下谤议，谗慝互生，虽有汤、武之智而不能取胜于匹夫，况众人乎？
If superiors and subordinates are suspicious of each other and do not have mutual trust, people with strategies are not given important responsibilities, and officers and soldiers gossip behind people’s backs, and wicked rumors and evil ideas grow rapidly, then even if one had wisdom like Shang Tang or King Wu of Zhou, one would be unable to defeat even a common mediocrity, let alone a large number of enemy troops.
