Telegram to Liu Shaoqi[1]

(October 31, 1947)

It is very good that Commander-in-Chief Zhu has gone to the place of Yang and Yang[2] to assist in training and consolidation for a period, but when Yang and Yang launch operations at Shimen or elsewhere, please advise Commander-in-Chief Zhu to return to the Working Committee and not to go in person to the very front line.

[1] This is the main content of Mao Zedong’s telegram to Liu Shaoqi.

[2] Yang and Yang refer to Yang Dezhi and Yang Chengwu.
