Taking up a strategic posistion (hsing)

The Master said.....

The ultimate skill in taking up a strategic position (hsing) is too have no form (hsing). If your position is formless (hsing) , the most carefully concealed spies will not be able to get a look at it, and the wisest counselors will not be able to lay plans against it. I present the rank and file with victories gained through (yin) strategic positioning (hsing), yet they are not able to understand them. Everyone knows the position (hsing) that has won me victory, yet none fathom how I came to settle on this winning position (hsing). Thus one's victories in battle cannot be repeated - they take their from (hsing) in response to inexhaustibly changing circumstances.
