□□,
The battle reports from Hexi have arrived. Are the commanders carrying out their orders? Suo Jing may be a quiet one, but he has a good head and his own judgment. When matters arise, consult with him more.
War is a matter of deception. You may judge and decide as the situation demands. There is only one thing. When you charge, keep your distance from the arrows. Bravery is admirable, but if the commander is lost, who will take responsibility for these hundred thousand sons of Hexi?
Hexi nights are always cold. Wear cotton in the evening and lighter clothes by day, and have your guards fasten the tent doors tightly. Make sure you eat your fill. If I hear again that you are eating less because there is lamb but no flatbread, then when you return, I will make you taste every bitter green in Guazhou.
