Regarding how the troops in southern Jiangsu and southern Anhui should be appropriately deployed, it is to be decided by you according to the circumstances. It is suitable for the two regiments under Ye and Zhang[2] to remain north of the Yangtze River for development. It is possible that your main positions in the future will shift north of the Yangtze River.
