Ch‘ên Hao makes them out to be: (1) 不量寡衆 “neglect to estimate
the enemy’s strength;” (2) 本乏刑德 “want of authority;” (3)
失於訓練 “defective training;” (4) 非理興怒 “unjustifiable anger;”
(5) 法令不行 “non-observance of discipline;” (6) 不擇驍果 “failure
to use picked men.”
which must be carefully noted by the general who has attained a
responsible post.
