Secretary Qiu, who was scolded by Zhao Zhiguo, could only keep his smile on his face and dare not breathe.

Now that Zhao Zhiguo's status is no longer what it used to be, there is no need to be humble to the people of the Jin-Sui Army.

"Commander Zhao, they are ignorant. You are so arrogant. After all, we are all friends. There is no need to quarrel and embarrass everyone."

Secretary Qiu also knew very well that Zhao Zhiguo was already the commander.

Although he is just a military division commander, his status and strength are by no means the same as before.

"Secretary Qiu, I am friends with you and Cao Jiyu, but not them!" Zhao Zhiguo said.

Qiu Zian smiled awkwardly, seeing that today's incident would not go away so easily.

If you can't get over this matter, you won't be able to talk about the next thing.

"Commander Zhao, what do you think we should do?"

"Apologise, ask them to stand at the door, say sorry to me, and then bow deeply. I, Zhao Zhiguo, am not a small-minded person." Zhao Zhiguo said.

"this……"

Qiu Zian felt very embarrassed. He knew the character of Xie Yian and others very well.

He was already dissatisfied with Zhao Zhiguo, so how could he ask him to apologize to Zhao Zhiguo?

Qiu Zian quickly winked at Cao Jiyu who was next to Zhao Zhiguo, asking Cao Jiyu to think of a solution quickly.

"Brother Zhao, how about I apologize on their behalf? Mr. Xie is my colleague after all. Please bear with me if I offend you." Cao Jiyu said.

Zhao Zhiguo did not expect that Cao Jiyu would also come forward to intercede at this time.

He didn't have to give face to Mr. Yan, or he didn't have to give face to Qiu Zian, but Cao Jiyu interceded and he had to give face.

"Brother Cao, you really shouldn't plead for them."

Zhao Zhiguo didn't say this to Cao Jiyu, he meant it to Qiu Zian.

"Since Brother Cao has already begged for mercy, let's go inside and talk." Zhao Zhiguo said.

Since people are here, they naturally want to ask questions and solve them.

The soldiers quickly used square tables to build a long table in the conference room. After Zhao Zhiguo sat down, several others slowly sat down.

Qiu Zian and Cao Jiyu lined up on both sides and sat closest to Zhao Zhiguo.

Although Xie Yian was very dissatisfied with the seats, he did not dare to explode in front of Zhao Zhiguo, and Qiu Zian also specifically emphasized that he should be patient.

"Brother Cao, I will stay in Pingcheng for a few more days this time. I will bring out the fine wine that I have collected for many years to entertain you."

There were more than a dozen people sitting in front of the table, and Zhao Zhiguo was the only one who "favored" Cao Jiyu.

"Commander Zhao, actually we came to Pingcheng this time to discuss important matters." Qiu Zian said, "You must have heard that our commander-in-chief has been to your Eighth Route Army headquarters."

"I've heard a little bit about it, isn't it your Secretary Qiu who instigated this?" Zhao Zhiguo said.

Not long after Qiu Zian returned from Zhao Zhiguo, Mr. Yan hurriedly went to the Eighth Route Army headquarters and said that this matter had nothing to do with Secretary Qiu. Zhao Zhiguo would not believe it even if he killed him.

"It's related to the future of the Shanxi-Sui Army, so I have to take precautions," Qiu Zian said.

"I already said last time about Bingzhou, it's impossible!"

Zhao Zhiguo's attitude was as firm as last time.

Bingzhou is a non-negotiable interest for the Jinsui Army, and it is also a non-negotiable interest for the First Military Division.

"Commander Zhao, I know that Bingzhou is a big piece of meat, but I think it will be difficult to capture it with the strength of your troops, right?"

Qiu Zian admitted that Zhao Zhiguo's troops had become very powerful.

But Zhao Zhiguo wanted to capture Bingzhou, so the pressure was not small.

"Whether we can capture Bingzhou City, I don't bother you to worry about it." Zhao Zhiguo said, "But I can conclude that the Jinsui Army definitely does not have the strength to capture Bingzhou City."

If the Jin-Sui Army had sufficient strength, how could they attack Zhao Zhiguo?

"So our commander-in-chief hopes to join forces with powerful forces to jointly take military measures against the Japanese troops in Bingzhou City. If Bingzhou City is successfully recovered, our Jinsui Army will not be unable to give up some of its interests."

"Secretary Qiu, as big a pot as our army has, we can put as much rice as possible. Whether we can capture Bingzhou City is our Eighth Route Army's business. You don't need to worry about it. Besides, do you think I will trust Mr. Yan and your Jinsui Army?"

"

The grudges of the past are still there, Mr. Yan has not even apologized, and now he is moving towards cooperation. How can there be such a beautiful thing in the world?

"There are too many grievances and grievances in the past, and this is not what our commander-in-chief wants to do."

Qiu Zian tried his best to defend Mr. Yan. What happened at that time was a last resort.

"Commander Zhao, we are serving the country together, how can we be interfered by personal grudges? Your Eighth Route Army headquarters also often says that the Japanese army is our biggest enemy at the moment." Xie Yi'an said.

"Okay, then I won't talk about personal grudges. Let's talk about cooperation. Since we want to cooperate, we must show equal strength, right?" Zhao Zhiguo said.

Cooperation is based on the equal strength of both parties.

If one side is big and the other is small, that's not called cooperation, that's called annexation.

"Do you, the Jinsui Army, have any evidence to prove that you are strong enough to cooperate with me and take Bingzhou City together?"

Since you want to cooperate, you must not only show sincerity, but also show strength.

Talking about cooperation without strength is called a white wolf with empty hands. Zhao Zhiguo is not stupid enough to do that.

"Does Commander Zhao think that our Jinsui Army is not equal to your army? Zhao Zhiguo, don't forget that your army is still affiliated with the Second War Zone. The commander-in-chief of the Second War Zone is named Yan, not Zhao.

"Xie Yian said.

"Since the surname of the Second War Zone is Yan, just let Mr. Yan fight the Japs by himself. Why should we argue about Bingzhou?" Zhao Zhiguo sneered.

"Zhao Zhiguo, you...you are making excuses again!"

"Secretary Qiu, strength is gained by fighting, not by talking at the negotiation table. Since the war with the Japanese army, the Jinsui Army first called the Tong area, and then lost the Jinyang area. In the end, it did not even protect its hometown of Bingzhou area.

.”

Zhao Zhiguo began to list the achievements of the Jinsui Army.

The Jinsui Army's hundreds of thousands troops were chased all over the world by a division of Japs.

Zhao Zhiguo's troops, ranging from a few hundred to tens of thousands, were regaining lost ground step by step.

"If a loser like this goes to the battlefield, can he fight? If he doesn't hold us back, he will already be burning a candle." Zhao Zhiguo pointed at Xie Yi'an and said.

Xie Yian stared angrily: "Zhao Zhiguo, you...you..."

"What am I! After the 68th Division was handed over to you, did it have a good record?" Zhao Zhiguo asked Xie Yi'an.

The people beside him pulled Xie Yian to sit down and comforted him.

Everyone knows that it is not just the 68th Division that has not achieved a good record, but also that the Jinsui Army has not achieved a good record since the war began.

Secretary Qiu lowered his head and didn't say a word.
