Guo Yu's words with Xu Shichang can only be said to be true, and the banquet and hospitality are indeed what he has thought about a long time ago, but Guo Yu is only verbally talking about changing his residence.

It's not that Guo Yu can't afford to entertain him, Wu Erzhu came back and told Guo Yu excitedly, he gave Xu Shuzheng a dismissal, and arranged for the delegation to be in an ordinary hotel, not a garden.

Guo Yu reprimanded Erzhu a few words at that time, and he also knew that Erzhu was loyal to him, but it was really childish to do so, he was angry that Wu Erzhu was a little naïve.

However, Guo Yu still has to maintain the face of his subordinates, since Erzhu has arranged them there, if Guo Yu is changing them, Erzhu's face is not good-looking, who is his own person Guo Yu is very clear, he is also his own person if he makes a mistake, and besides, Erzhu is still doing this to make himself angry, and Guo Yu is even more unlikely to sweep his face.

The more loyal his subordinates, the more he has to defend him as a leader, and chill his own people's hearts for the sake of others, Guo Yu is not so stupid, and he just gives this so-called delegation a look.

On the second day, Guo Yu walked and chatted with Wu Erzhu, Cheng Quande, and Zhou Wu in the garden of Yifu Garden.

"The lord invited these people from the government of the Republic of China to dinner, why should they be in their own homeland, I think arranging a restaurant is to give them face, especially that Xu Shuzheng, who keeps a straight face all day long, and scolds people behind his back, it's not a thing." Wu Erzhu said.

The whole of Jiangsu is the territory of the Huafu Army, and Suzhou is their base camp, and the control of this place has reached the point of no matter how big or small, Wu Erzhu naturally knows what Xu Shuzheng scolded him after he left.

"These officials of the Republic of China, this time they must be night owls entering the house when they come to us, there is no good thing, it is better to send them early, these officials of the Republic of China will not be able to do anything else except make trouble." Wu Erzhu continued to complain.

Guo Yu and Cheng Quande looked at Wu Erzhu with a complaining look when he spoke, and they both laughed. Guo Yu said as he walked, "After all, they are representatives sent by the government, representing Li Yuanhong, Duan Qirui, and the country. ”

A few people were chatting in the garden, when the housekeeper came to report, "Sir, the guest's car is outside the door." ”

"Okay, Erzhu, let's go to the door to greet you." Guo Yu said and walked to the door first.

"Old Xu, welcome to the Humble House, the little nephew is full of glory here." After Guo Yu stepped out of the door, he saw a group of people standing outside the door, and Xu Shichang nodded. Guo Yu took Wu Erzhu, Cheng Quande and Zhou Wu to walk quickly to everyone, and first said to Xu Shichang, who was most familiar.

"Your Yifu Garden is also a famous garden in Suzhou, it's not a humble house, Hanyang, let me introduce you to you, this is Wu Tingfangwu, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of China." Xu Shichang smiled and introduced Wu Tingfang to Guo Yu.

Guo Yu hurriedly shook Wu Tingfang's hand and said, "Chief Wu can be said to be the first person in the legal circles of the Republic of China, and he is still running around for the Republic of China at a great age, which is really a shame for our juniors and a model for us to learn." ”

At this time, Wu Tingfang was 73 years old, and he was indeed a long life expectant during the Republic of China, and Guo Yu still admired this old man who had made contributions to the country.

"Although I met Guo Dujun for the first time, but your prestige has spread throughout the land of China, and even when foreign envoys meet, they have mentioned your name many times, and the people are also praised Guo Dujun as the contemporary Yue Wumu, the old man has long wanted to meet you, the hero of the Republic of China, today I am really fortunate to be a guest in your house, and I am even more happy in my heart." Wu Tingfang took Guo Yu's hand and said.

This diplomat is accustomed to seeing wind and rain, and the words on his lips will definitely make you listen to it like a spring breeze, but he will never hear the suspicion of sycophancy, if he is inferior in that way, he is not worthy of being a diplomat.

"Then you must have a few more drinks in a while and taste the superb flower carving I prepared." Guo Yu said with a smile.

"Okay, the old man really needs to have a few drinks." Wu Tingfang naturally agreed.

Xu Shichang continued: "This is Xu Shuzheng, Vice Minister of the War Department. ”

Guo Yu interrupted Xu Shichang's introduction, and said with a smile, "I know Vice President Xu, I have a relationship, Vice President Xu, this time I came to Jiangsu, you are my Guo's guest, have a good time for a few days, appreciate the customs and gardens of Suzhou, and it is not in vain to travel thousands of miles." ”

As soon as everyone heard it, there was something in Guo Yu's words, appreciate the customs, and run thousands of miles in vain, which means that there is no hope for anything else, so let's take a look at the scenery, thinking of this, Wu Tingfang, Xu Shuzheng and Jin Yunpeng were dark in their hearts.

Xu Shuzheng is known as a 'little fan', Guo Yu's words are naturally understood, but how can he admit defeat when he is arrogant, "Xu has a heavy responsibility, how can he have time to linger in the scenery, I think Mr. Guo is not a person who loves scenery, I heard that you have been in Suzhou for more than a year, and you have not even turned around several major gardens in Suzhou, and it seems that you are also busy with government affairs." ”

Guo Yu's mind turned, worthy of being a little fan, and he actually told himself that the government of the Republic of China controlled his whereabouts and preferences, and he was not a straw bag who didn't know anything, but Guo Yu was already a little unhappy in his heart, and he couldn't be happy if anyone was being watched.

Guo Yu ignored Xu Shuzheng, but said to Zhou Wu: "It's autumn, why are there still so many insects, remember to ask people to clean them all up." ”

After listening to Xu Shuzheng's words, Zhou Wu knew that there was a loophole in his intelligence work, and after listening to Guo Yu's instructions, his originally flat face was even more ruthless, and he just replied, "I know." ”

However, now Xu Shuzheng regrets a little, he was impulsive and said something he shouldn't have said, and the government of the Republic of China finally buried a line here in Jiangsu, and he was exposed like this, and he really wanted to pump his heart.

Xu Shichang continued: "This is General Jin Yunpeng, and now he is the director of the Army Office. ”

Guo Yu's face turned into a smile again, and he shook hands with Jin Yunpeng and said: "General Jin has been in the army all his life, and he is a real general in the Republic of China, Guo Yu is fortunate to know the general." ”

"Guo Dujun is the real talent, I have traveled all the way, what I have heard and seen, your Huafu Army from officers to soldiers, is definitely a good soldier, Guo Dujun is well-trained, he is really handsome." Jin Yunpeng naturally did not hesitate to send his own beautiful words.

After Guo Yu met with several people from the Republic of China, he turned around and pointed at Wu Erzhu and said, "These are my subordinates, Wu Erzhu, deputy commander of the Huafu Army, Cheng Quande, chief of staff, and this is my political officer Zhou Wu." ”

Wu Erzhu and Cheng Quande have seen each other, but this Zhou Wu is a little unfamiliar, but these people all know the name Zhou Wu, and the weight of this name in their hearts is not light.

Guo Yu's number one person in charge of intelligence, with a team of elite agents in his hands, known for his cold face, not smiling, delicate, and calm, decisive in action, is definitely the first few generals under Guo Yu, although he is only a director of intelligence, but his important Cheng is no less than Wu Erzhu.

"Okay, let's go in and talk, Old Xu, please look at my garden." After everyone greeted each other, Guo Yu took Xu Shichang's hand and walked into the Yifu Garden.

Pavilions, pavilions, small bridges and flowing water, although it has entered autumn, most of the flowers have withered, but green is still the main color in the garden, and there are many chrysanthemums blooming.

Guo Yu, Xu Shichang, and Wu Tingfang walked at the front of the team, chatting while walking, a picture of watching the flowers, the three of them talked happily, laughing from time to time, Xu Shuzheng and Jin Yunpeng in the back were accompanied by Wu Erzhu and others, but these people had pimples in their hearts, so naturally they couldn't talk together, and a few people didn't say a word, so they became followers in the back.

The garden is not big, it is already ten o'clock at this time, and it is not long before I come to the banquet hall, at this time the living room has been set up tables and chairs, vegetarian dishes and pastries have been placed, ready to be seated.

"Everyone, please sit down, I specially asked the chef to prepare Suzhou local dishes, everyone will taste it later, this chef in my family is a chef from Desheng Lou in Suzhou, and he is also well-known in the local area, and he is the best at Suzhou cuisine." Guo Yu said and beckoned everyone to take their seats.

On an occasion like this, if Guo Yu's wife is here, you can come to have a tea and get to know her, but there is only Sun Yaoqin in this garden, and she is not qualified to participate in such a banquet, unless Guo Yu loves an outer room very much and is not afraid to break the rules.

Guo Yu didn't let the woman serve here, and even the food was served by a group of guards. After everyone was seated, the table was filled with sumptuous food and wine in a short time.

Guo Yu raised his glass and said to everyone, "You have worked hard all the way, and I welcome you to Jiangsu on behalf of all walks of life in Jiangsu." ”

Everyone picked up the wine glass and drank it all, but Xu Shuzheng still had the same dead face, a look of debt to him.

At first, everyone just chatted about some customs, and slowly the topic led to the Huafu fleet attacking the Japanese fleet, Xu Shichang said: "Hanyang, your Huafu fleet is really amazing, it was able to completely annihilate the Japanese Navy, and it can be described as a great pleasure after hearing the news in the old man's hometown in Henan, he couldn't sleep for a night of excitement, and finally took out the wine to celebrate, and he drank too much, chatting about juvenile madness, and he was a little out of shape at that time." Speaking of this, Xu Shichang laughed.

"Xu Lao is true temperament, not only are you happy, I think everyone in the country was happy and excited at that moment, and I didn't sleep all night." Wu Tingfang said.

"The country has been weak for a long time, and I joined Li Hongzhang and Li Zhongtang in my early years, and originally intended to govern the country with Western law, and participated in the Sino-French negotiations and the Maguan negotiations, but I found that in the face of the strong ships and sharp cannons of the great powers, the law became false."

"I devoted myself to diplomacy again, hoping to use diplomatic means to gain benefits for the country, but in the end, I was still despised by others, and sometimes I was confused, and I really didn't know where the road was."

"However, this battle of Guo Dujun is indeed to raise the popularity of the people and strengthen the prestige of the nation." R1152
