Quan Tao: Forging the Troops

King Wu asked Tai Gong:
"How should we select and organize soldiers into specialized units?"

Tai Gong replied:
"Divide troops based on their unique traits and skills:

1. Blade-Daring Corps (冒刃之士): Those with unmatched courage, who fear neither death nor injury.

2. Breach-Forcing Corps (陷阵之士): Fierce, youthful warriors with relentless aggression.

3. Swordmaster Corps (勇锐之士): Soldiers skilled with longswords, moving with precision and balance.

4. Colossus Corps (勇力之士): Giants who can bend iron hooks, smash enemy drums, and tear down banners.

5. Mountain Ghosts (寇兵之士): Light-footed climbers and scouts adept at traversing harsh terrain.

6. Honor Seekers (死斗之士): Fallen nobles desperate to reclaim glory through battle.

7. Avengers (敢死之士): Sons of slain generals, burning to avenge their kin.

8. Redeemed Defectors (励钝之士): Former prisoners of war or outcasts seeking to erase shame.

9. Destitute Fury (必死之士): The impoverished, driven by rage and the promise of wealth.

10. Penitent Legion (幸用之士): Pardoned convicts eager to prove their worth.

11. Elite Vanguard (待命之士): Tactical geniuses capable of bearing heavy responsibilities.

This is the method to forge an invincible army. Study it thoroughly!"
