Divine Manipulation of Threads

"When these five kinds of spy are all at work, none can discover the secret system."

The divine manipulation of threads, according to master Sun, is a "sovereign's most precious faculty". He who controlled the five spies - the local spy, the inward spy, the converted spy, the doomed spy and the surviving spy - has total mastery of his information networks.

Ensuring these spies are all treated equally is crucial to their success, argues master Sun, as is making sure any spy who acts out of line is put to death. Subterfuge must be merciless; information does not discriminate.
