Gao Shenxing took two guards to carry two pairs of food loads to the headquarters, then took out the wine and food inside and placed it on the Eight Immortals table.

Just after the arrangement was made, Xu Shijiu walked out of the office and said to Gao Shenxing: "Old Gao, Zihan just sent someone back to report that Gu Zhutong and the Anhui Provincial Government's special envoy have arrived at the city gate, so let's go outside the headquarters gate to greet him."

Gao Shenxing arranged the last pot of vegetables, patted his hands and said, "Old Xu, should you call out all the people in the headquarters and hold a ceremony?"

"No need, what kind of rituals are there?" Xu Shijiu waved his hand and said disapprovingly, "We don't need to do those sloppy things. I believe Commander-in-Chief Gu will definitely agree with us and let everyone do it."

Gao Shenxing only shook his head when he heard this, and then followed Xu Shijiu out of the headquarters gate.

After waiting outside the gate for less than a moment, Li Zihan led two men, Yiwen and Yiwu.

Although Xu Shijiu didn't know Gu Zhutong, he only looked at the three generals on his seal and knew that the one in military uniform must be Gu Zhutong. As for those who were wearing silk long gowns and wide-brimmed top hats, most of them were the Anhui Provincial Government Special Envoy, Hu Renjie.

"Commander-in-Chief Gu, Special Commissioner Hu" Xu Shijiu held his feet and stood at attention and saluted Gu and Hu.

Gao Shenxing, who was standing behind Xu Shijiu, also stood at attention and saluted Gu and Hu.

"Xu Shijiu, haha." Gu Zhutong replied with a gift, greeted him with a smile, and held Xu Shijiu's hands affectionately.

Hu Renjie also came forward, bowed at Xu Shijiu with a fist, and greeted him with a smile: "Commander Xu, I have heard of your name for a long time."

Gao Shenxing watched coldly. There was no trace of strangeness on Gu Zhutong and Hu Renjie's faces, but he was very sure that Gu Zhutong and Hu Renjie would never feel much more comfortable. Xu Shijiu was not willing to conduct a welcome ceremony with a simple and practical idea. This move had definitely offended Gu Zhutong and Hu Renjie.

Gao Shenxing has lived in Nanjing for several years, and he knows better than anyone else. The Kuomintang members, but each competition and the other like to sing.

Xu Shijiu turned around and sternly said with a smile: "Commander-in-Chief Gu, Special Commissioner Hu, I have prepared a small amount of wine, so please be sure to enjoy it."

"Welcome to the light, you will definitely appreciate the light. This person will definitely appreciate it." Gu Zhutong smiled and turned around to greet Hu Renjie and said, "Commissioner Hu, please."

"Commander-in-Chief Gu first." Hu Renjie quickly asked Gu Zhutong to leave first. Gu Zhutong walked up, took Xu Shijiu's hands affectionately, and walked into the headquarters gate together.

Li Zihan followed into the headquarters gate, but his mood was a little complicated.

From the surface, Xu Shijiu and Gu Zhutong get along very well, but if they are cut open, it may not be the case at all.

Li Zihan already had a premonition that Gu Zhutong would definitely find him tonight and talk to him in secret, and even Li Zihan could vaguely guess the content of the secret.

It was nothing more than lobbying him to undermine Xu Shijiu and usurp the command of the 19th Detachment.

When Li Zihan thought of this, he felt like he was overwhelmed. If Gu Zhutong really made such a request, he really didn't know how to deal with it.

"Li Tuanzu, please." Hu Renjie noticed that Li Zihan's eyebrows were frowning, so he deliberately fell behind and walked side by side with Li Zihan.

(Split Line)

After three rounds of drinking, the conversation began to get to the point.

The adjutant who accompanied Gu Zhu and his order brought the 50,000 French currency that the Military Commission rewarded the 19th Detachment, read out the commendation order issued by Chairman Jiang in public, and then admonished Xu Shijiu: "Commander Xu, this time you can wipe out the Japanese independence in Longkou and become the main force of the 14th Brigade in one fell swoop, greatly boosting the morale and morale of the military and civilians in southern Anhui, and supporting the Battle of Jinjiang at the same time. The commissioner expressed deep appreciation and praised you as a tiger general whenever you meet."

Xu Shijiu said calmly: "The commissioner is too much of a reputation. How can he be just a little military achievements? I am ashamed of not being able to take responsibility, but I am ashamed of not being able to take responsibility."

Xu Shijiu had no expression of excitement on his face, nor did he stand up like a Huangpu officer and listen to Chairman Jiang's commendation order. A trace of haze flashed through Gu Zhutong's eyes.

This Xu Shijiu has no longer concealed his contempt for Chairman Jiang.

Gu Zhutong originally wanted to encourage Xu Shijiu a few words, but when he saw Xu Shijiu so cold, he lost his mind.

Seeing that the atmosphere at the table was a bit cold, Hu Renjie, a special commissioner of Anhui Provincial Government, stood up with a glass of wine and toasted Xu Shijiu: "Commander Xu, Mr. Hu will stay in Longkou to work with you in the future. Please take care of him, haha."

Hu Renjie didn't want to talk about serious matters at the dinner table because the occasion was wrong. However, when he saw that Gu Zhutong was defeated by Xu Shijiu, he couldn't hold back his anger. Xu Shijiu didn't even buy the face of Gu Zhutong, the commander-in-chief. How could he care about him a mere provincial commissioner?

If Gu Zhu didn't take advantage of the situation to be implemented while he was here, maybe even the county magistrate would not be able to take office.

Originally, Hu Renjie was just a special commissioner. He first announced the appointment of the county magistrate and secondly helped the new county magistrate handle some liaison affairs. When the political situation in Longkou is on track, he still wants to leave Longkou County. However, Yan Sanquan suddenly disappeared last night, so Hu Renjie got a bargain and was directly appointed as the county magistrate of Longkou by the Anhui Provincial Party Committee.

However, there is still a prerequisite, that is, you must get Xu Shijiu's approval.

If Xu Shijiu refused to nod, Hu Renjie would not want to become the county magistrate. This is obvious.

"Captain Hu is polite. If you don't care about anything, just say it just because you have anything to do." Xu Shijiu smiled and then asked, "But what you said just now, we will work together in the future? I heard it right?"

"Uh." Hu Renjie was choked and said embarrassedly, "Sir Xu, don't you know yet?"

"What do I know?" Xu Shijiu said carelessly, "Commissioner Hu, don't hesitate, can you please silly

"Uh, that's right. I have been appointed as the county magistrate of Longkou by the provincial government. I will work with Commander Xu in the future. So I hope you must support me with Commander." Hu Renjie said, then raised his glass of wine and said with a smile, "I will give you a glass of flowers to offer to you."

"Are you the county magistrate of Longkou?" Xu Shijiu pretended to be confused and said, "No, didn't you say that you want the traitor Yan Sanquan to be the county magistrate?"

Gu Zhutong's face became more and more embarrassing. Xu Shijiu scolded Yan Sanquan as a dog traitor in public. This was a naked slap for the National Government, which appointed Yan Sanquan as the magistrate of Longkou County. Gu Zhutong, as the commander-in-chief of the Third War Zone, also felt a burning face.

To be honest, Chairman Jiang’s decision was really not very wise.

Hu Renjie felt even more embarrassed and didn't know how to make the scene round.

Fortunately, Xu Shijiu quickly changed his smile and said with a smile: "Don't care about the commissioner Hu, ha, but I have to say that it is undoubtedly wise for the provincial government to change the appointment order for the county magistrate of Longkou. Otherwise, commissioner Hu, you will definitely be drowned by the saliva of the party in Longkou Township. Let him be a traitor to be the county magistrate. What is the saying

Hu Renjie had the courage to spit his face and said with a smile: "Then, please be sure to take care of Commander Xu in the future."

"Care, of course you have to take care of it." Xu Shijiu said carelessly, "No matter what, you are the county magistrate of the Longkou government."

Before Hu Renjie could say thank you, Xu Shijiu continued to say another thing: "But, Special Commissioner Hu, oh, now he is County Magistrate Hu. I have to tell you something. You should have heard that there is an anti-Japanese democratic government in Longkou. In other words, Longkou originally had a county magistrate, but now with you, there will be two county magistrates."

"What, are there two county magistrates?" Hu Renjie was stunned. It turned out that Xu Shijiu had left a foreshadowing.

"Absurd" Gu Zhutong could not bear it anymore and frowned and said, "The Longkou Anti-Japanese Democratic Government is illegal without the approval of the National Government."

"Commander-in-Chief Gu, you can't say that to me." Xu Shijiu spread his hands and said, "It's the cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, and the guns are unanimous to the outside world. I can't send troops to drive the county magistrate and staff sent by the Communist Party out of Longkou, right? Then I'm a sinner who destroys the nation's united front against Japan? Commander-in-Chief Gu, I can't bear such a crime."
