Gu Zhutong really couldn't bear it anymore, thinking that he was the commander-in-chief of the three war zones, but he was repeatedly treated coldly by Xu Shijiu, and what made Gu Zhutong even more angry was that Xu Shijiu did not hide his good impression of the Communist Party in front of him, which was unbearable, and Gu Zhutong couldn't bear this banquet, so he could only leave the table with his sleeves.

Seeing Gu Zhutong leave the table with his sleeves brushed up, Li Zihan also stood up, but he didn't know whether he should follow.

Xu Shijiu said: "Zihan, you help me persuade Commander-in-Chief Gu, my words just now are a little ugly, please have a lot of them, don't be like me, hehe." ”

Li Zihan answered yes, turned around and chased after Gu Zhutong.

Hu Renjie really didn't have the face to stay anymore, so he also got up and said goodbye to Xu Shijiu.

Seeing Hu Renjie away, Gao Shenxing followed Xu Shijiu back to the headquarters, and said with a smile: "Old Xu, are you going too far?" ”

"Is it excessive?" Xu Shijiu said lightly, "Not at all, what kind of goods are the bureaucrats of the national government, you should know better than me, I don't want my troops to fight bloody battles in the front, but these corrupt officials and corrupt officials are leviing and extorting in the rear, making a miasma of smoke and smoke." ”

Gao Shenxing said: "Not all officials of the National Government are corrupt officials, yes, most of the high-level officials of the National Government are rotten to the roots, almost all of them are corrupt officials, but at the grassroots level, there are still many good officials who are honest and honest for the people, this Hu Renjie may be such a good official, you Weishenme can't give him a chance?" ”

Xu Shijiu glanced back at Gao Shenxing with some surprise, and asked, "Old Gao, why did you say good things for the Kuomintang today?" Do you think this Hu Renjie will be better than the county magistrate sent by the Communist Party? ”

Gao Shenxing said: "If the Communist Party sends someone else, I will definitely support it, but if it is Liu Chang...

Liu Chang is about to become the county magistrate of the Longkou Anti-Japanese Democratic Government, this matter has basically been determined, Liu Chang was originally in Longkou, and he can't wait to form his county government.

At that moment, Xu Shijiu said again: "Lao Gao, are you too prejudiced against Liu Chang?" ”

"It's not a preconception, I just think that Liu Chang is a suspicious person." Gao Shenxing said.

"Liu Chang is suspicious, I think he's quite normal." Xu Shijiu was a little unimpressed.

"There are more suspicious places." Gao Shenxing said, "First of all, before the Hulu Valley started, Liu Chang's gun had gone off, if it wasn't for Lao Niu to suppress this matter, if it was the little Japanese soldiers who entered the valley at that time, then the battle would have been hanging, so Liu Chang had a major suspicion of deliberately firing a gun to warn Little Japan." ”

Xu Shijiu was silent, this thing is really suspicious, why do you say it's so coincidental?

Gao Shenxing continued: "Second, Jiaxi told me that before Noguchi died, he once pointed at Liu Chang and said a few words of rape, and then I pondered it repeatedly, and I felt that Noguchi was likely to want to say that he was a traitor, but unfortunately, he died before he finished speaking. ”

Xu Shijiu said in a deep voice: "Old Gao, do you mean that Liu Chang has actually secretly betrayed?" ”

"The possibility is very high" Gao Shen said, "Lao Xu, you should remember that Liu Chang was arrested in Qingyang, and the military police captain of Qingyang County at that time was Noguchi, I think that Noguchi pointed at Liu Changlian and said a few words of rape before he died, and it would definitely not be without reason." ”

Xu Shijiu said: "Then this matter must be told to Ah Wen immediately, and let Ah Wen report it to his superiors quickly."

Gao Shen said: "You think I didn't talk to Ah Wen? But Awen told me that this is not substantiated at all, and his superiors will not believe it, Lao Xu, you may not know, this Liu Chang has won the trust of Xiang Ying, secretary of the Southeast Bureau of the Communist Party of China. ”

"Hey, that's a lot of trouble." Xu Shijiu frowned, and said again, "Old Gao, Hu Zhijing, secretary of the Communist Party of China Southern Anhui Provincial Party Committee will come to Longkou in a few days, or we will propose it to him and replace Liu Chang?" ”

"Okay." Gao Shenxing said, "I'll go and talk to Lao Hu then." ”

"Ugh." Xu Jiujiu sighed and said, "This matter is rectified." ”

(Dividing Line)

Besides, Li Zihan followed Gu Zhutong to Kondo Salon.

Of course, it is no longer called Kondo Salon, but has been changed to a guest house.

Facing Li Zihan, Gu Zhutong didn't hide it too much, and said to him bluntly: "Zihan, with your ability, qualifications, and military exploits, you shouldn't be just a regiment commander by now." ”

Li Zihan didn't know how to respond, so he could only be silent.

Gu Zhutong continued: "It's okay to be cautious, people are talented students who graduated from the Army University, but Niu Sigen is just a patrol officer, and now they have climbed to your head and become your peak, Xu Shijiu is really too much to do." ”

The more Gu Zhutong spoke, the more explicit it it became, Li Zihan couldn't continue to remain silent, so he could only say with a wry smile: "Boss, Niu Sigen is only a patrol officer, this is indeed a fact, but in the last anti-sweep, he was willing to risk his life, willing to bear the infamy of a traitor, made a major sacrifice, and made great contributions, so he deserves to be the brigade commander, and the brothers are also convinced." ”

"Zihan, you, you." Gu Zhutong pointed at Li Zihan and said, "It's just too kind." ”

But soon, Gu Zhutong continued: "Zihan, if you want to be kind, it is an advantage, but if it is too much, it is weak." ”

Li Zihan just wanted to argue, but Gu Zhutong waved his hand to stop him, and then continued: "Before I came to Longkou, I had already asked someone to understand from the side, since you came to Longkou, in general, you have done a very good job, but in the handling of some things, you have lost mercy, Zihan, you are a woman's kindness." ”

Li Zihan said: "Boss, what do you mean?" ”

Gu Zhutong said: "For example, the minister of the Communist Party, what is Liu, do you have a chance not to kill him?" Also, that Shu Tongwen, you have had many chances, weishenme didn't kill him? At present, the relationship between the Communist Party and the party-state is extremely tense, and the New Fourth Army and our third theater may also face each other at any time. ”

Li Zihan said loudly: "But the general seat, our number one enemy at the moment is the Japanese army after all, and we ...... before the victory of the Anti-Japanese War."

"You don't have to tell me this, I eat more salt than you eat, and I cross more bridges than you walk, I still don't understand this?" Gu Zhutong interrupted Li Zihan again and said, "At present, little Japan has become more and more tired, and the United States has a tendency to get out of isolationism, and it seems inevitable to participate in the war in the future. At the beginning of the Sino-Japanese War, the Communist Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army combined were only 40,000 people, but now? Even though the Eighth Route Army suffered a heavy defeat last year, there are still 200,000 people, and the New Fourth Army also has nearly 100,000 people. ”

Li Zihan was bitter in his heart, Gu Zhutong's attitude was already very obvious, it seemed that after all, it was inevitable that he would kill each other? How can this be?

Gu Zhutong softened his tone, and said to Li Zihan seriously: "Zihan, do you know? When I sent you to Longkou, I had high hopes for you, not only because I was an old acquaintance with your father-in-law, but also because you appreciated your ability. ”

Li Zihan hurriedly said a few words modestly: "The general seat has won the award, and I dare not be ashamed." ”

"No, Zihan, you can afford it." Gu Zhutong waved his hand and continued, "However, now, I am a little disappointed in you. ”

Li Zihan fell silent again, he really didn't want to accept Gu Zhutong's words, Gu Zhutong was disappointed in him, it was nothing more than because he did not take a tough stance on the New Fourth Army, it was nothing more than because he failed to influence Xu 19, so that Xu 19 and the Communist Party got closer and closer, and now, the two sides have even faintly converged.

Sure enough, Gu Zhutong then asked: "Zihan, tell me the truth now, how far has Xu Shijiu gone on the road of Tonggong?" ”
