Chang Sun Ze and General Sima had been pursuing the enemy for five consecutive days. During these five days, they captured more than 20,000 people, 40% of whom were corpses and 60% were prisoners.
For them, after reading the letters sent from the rear and spending a long time on the battlefield, they realized how important this order from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was. Both of them felt the urgency in themselves. Although they knew it was a mistake, they didn't know how to change it.
Now, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has already explained it in his letter. First, summarize what you have done in the past period of time, and then put yourself in the position of a third party and think about whether what you said is right or wrong, and whether there is any impetuousness in it?
If we talk specifically about ideological issues, many people may not understand them. After all, these people are just rough guys on the battlefield. But if we combine them with real life, I believe these people will understand. They are not fools, and these issues are not that difficult for them.
"His Highness has specifically granted us permission not to stop studying, which shows that our mission is still very important. However, His Highness also specified that after the war, all of us must have a month of reflection and study. This ideological education comes at the right time. Without it, our decline would become even more severe. When the day comes when education can no longer solve the problem, we will all regret it."
Although Chang Sun Ze is young, he has been with Li Xiang for quite some time and certainly understands the importance of ideas. Li Xiang was also the first person to propose this theory. Many people think that Li Xiang's work is very time-consuming and has no effect in the end. Instead of focusing on such things, it is better to focus more on training.
Chang Sun Ze had this idea before, but as he controlled more and more troops, he became more and more aware of the importance of ideological education. Li Xiang proposed at this time to carry out a one-month ideological rectification, which was actually very necessary. Many problems could be found in himself, not to mention other people. We are quite close to Li Xiang.
"Your Highness's education is very timely. One person's problem may not be a big deal, but if thousands of people have this problem, and all of them converge, I believe some things will become difficult to solve. While we still have the ability to solve this problem, we must of course think carefully about it, but I think our first priority is to deal with this army in front of us."
General Sima has not yet realized the importance of thought, so this guy brought things back to reality. Chang Sun Ze smiled bitterly and shook his head. He seemed to see his former self in this guy. He was dismissive of the so-called ideological education and all he thought about every day was how to increase the number of enemies he killed.
Fortunately, Li Xiang's letter was very clear. He just wanted to give everyone a heads-up, not to ask everyone to stop attacking and study. If that were the case, Chang Sun Ze would not agree. After the war, we will have a month of rest, and that will be the time for ideological education.
"There are still more than 20,000 of them left. We should talk to them, especially His Royal Highness. According to His Royal Highness's strategy, we must win him over. If we continue to pursue south, we will be getting closer and closer to their heartland, and it will be impossible to persuade him to surrender."
Chang Sun Ze thought of Li Xiang's instructions. The Arab Empire was too big. If we relied on attacking it from the outside, it would take an unknown amount of time. But if we attacked it from the inside, the effect would be more severe than attacking it ten times from the outside. His Royal Highness the Prince did not have much strength left now. It could almost be said that it was the last moment. If you threw a rope down at this time, it might be his life-saving straw. As long as he leaned towards us, we would have a chance to persuade him to rebel.
"How about I go there myself? I've lived in the Arab Empire for quite some time, specializing in investigations, and I'm quite familiar with some of the affairs of their royal family. If I go there in person, it will be seen as a sign of sincerity. If I send someone else, I don't think it will carry enough weight. I can't let you go there in person to negotiate."
As the second-in-command of the army, General Sima immediately volunteered. In fact, Chang Sun Ze also thought so. If there was one person in the entire army who was the most suitable, it would probably be one of the two of them. However, Chang Sun Ze had his own shortcomings.
Although this guy has enough knowledge, he doesn't know much about the internal situation in Arabia. Although he can make up for it immediately, if there is one thing he doesn't understand, it is very likely to cause a big mistake, not to mention that your make-up may not be successful.
So in this situation, you should just give up your negotiating position and let General Sima do it. He has been lurking inside the Arab Empire for a year and a half. Although he doesn't know much about it, after all, his lurking identity is limited, but at least he is much better than Chang Sunze, and he can better integrate with the Arabs with his gestures.
"I'm not the type to be sentimental. Since you brought it up yourself, I've been thinking about it. There's no one in our army more suitable than you. Although going into the enemy camp is a bit risky, I think you can handle it."
Chang Sun Ze was very relieved when facing his deputy. He had observed in the past few days that this General Sima was rough but meticulous, and never lost when it came to things that required his brain. He was considered a very good deputy. If he were to be sent to negotiate, he would be much better than the group of negotiation experts sent by the court. Apart from studying hard, few of those people could become successful.
"Then I'll go back and make preparations quickly. I'll also take this opportunity to send them a letter so they know in advance, so that everyone won't be confused about what's going on after I get there."
General Sima nodded and said that he was ready to go and do the work. He asked his men to do all the requests made by Chang Sun Ze. This time, his life or death was uncertain, and no one knew what the people of the Arab Empire would do. If it were not for the purpose of inciting the prince to rebel, such a risky thing could not be done.
