Story:
During the Warring States period, Wu Qi, the governor of Xihe in the State of Wei, was discussing with Marquis Wu of Wei (Wei Ji) how to achieve invincibility in battle.
Wu Qi shared his insights based on his military experience, stating that a ruler must rely on several key factors: generals who can issue commands that soldiers willingly obey; generals who, when mobilizing forces for war, find soldiers eager to go to battle; soldiers who, once on the battlefield, do not fear death; and a system of clear rewards and punishments.
