Gao Jiu came to Zhengzhou City, and Wang Jindong held a banquet at night, but the only people who attended the banquet were him and Chief of Staff Liu.

The Chief of Staff first took out a batch of gold bars seized in Zhengzhou City this time, including 150 large yellow croakers, saying that this was thankful to Gao Jiu.

Gao Jiu knew that the newly-edition 187th Division had made a fortune in the city this time, so it was also appropriate to share some of it with him. However, he heard from the Chief of Staff that he was thanking him, and he should have something to say.

Gao Jiu was not busy collecting gold bars and said, "Brother Wang, you said you have something to discuss with me. Our brothers are a family, so just say whatever you have."

Wang Jindong smiled and said, "Brother Gao, you are really smart. Brother, I have something I want to hear from you. This is the matter..."

It turned out that Wang Jindong had been the deputy commander of the 41st Army for a long time. Now his direct troops have strong troops and strong horses and strong strength. His father-in-law hopes that he can go further and has helped him arrange it, intending to expand his new 187th Division into a new 187th Army.

After the expansion of the 187th Division, it will have a new territory and cannot be mixed with the 41st Army.

Now that he has taken over Zhengzhou City, Wang Jindong hopes to occupy this place for a long time, but they will face the Japanese and puppet troops directly in the Henan area in the future. He is under great pressure. He is worried that he will be attacked by the Japanese and puppet troops and is a little unsure.

Therefore, he hopes that Gao Jiu can help him and ensure the safety of his troops.

Water flows to the lower part, people walk to the higher part, and pursuing promotion and wealth is human nature and an important manifestation of human value. Gao Jiu certainly understands Wang Jindong's ideas, and he is willing to support them.

Gao Jiu thought for a moment and said, "Brother Wang, Chief of Staff Liu, this is a good thing. Brother, I certainly support you. We are friends of life and death. No matter what your needs you have, as long as I am Gao Jiu, I will definitely support you with all my strength."

Gao Jiu's attitude made Wang Jindong and Chief of Staff Liu very happy.

Gao Jiu continued: "I have some suggestions for your reference only.

Although there are many people in Zhengzhou City and its economic conditions are also good, there is still a certain gap compared with Nanyang.

Now there is an arsenal in Nanyang, which is very economically prosperous. You just left Nanyang, and the losses will be huge. Although the 41st Army is your mother's home, after the separation, many things are not as convenient as before. Whether you can get support from the Nanyang area in battle will definitely not be as happy as before."

Wang Jindong and Chief of Staff Liu also considered this issue, and knew that they would suffer great losses. And after they came out alone, the risks were greater than before, but they could not pursue progress because of this and would never develop under the 41st Army.

After many considerations, they thought of occupying Zhengzhou City and asked Gao Jiu for help.

Wang Jindong and Chief of Staff Liu both knew Gao Jiu very well and knew that Gao Jiu was going to make the suggestion, which was definitely not just that.

They waited quietly for Gao Jiu to continue talking.

Gao Jiu said: "I came up with an idea that may be the best of both worlds. Not only can you protect your interests in Nanyang City, but you can also get strong assistance from the 41st Army at any time during combat."

Hearing this, Wang Jindong and Chief of Staff Liu looked at each other, and they really didn't know how to solve this problem.

Wang Jindong asked: "How can I do this?"

Gao Jiu said: "The easiest way is that you are still a family. If you do not leave the 41st Army, but find a way to expand the 41st Army into a corps, you will naturally expand it into the new 187th Army. In this way, will all the problems be solved?"

Wang Jindong really didn't expect that he would have such a clever idea. If this matter could be done, of course he would be unlucky. Not only would he be promoted and made a fortune, but he would also have the support of the powerful 41st Army, so his life would be better.

However, it was not something he could do to expand the 41st Army into a corps, and even his father-in-law might not have the ability. This matter must be approved by the senior management.

Wang Jindong was hesitating. Seeing Gao Jiu's smile, he suddenly started to laugh.

He understood that since Gao Jiu had proposed such an idea, it means that he was confident of doing this.

Think about it, Gao Jiu's current status is now, so it doesn't take much effort to achieve this. He only needs one word, and Shangfeng will definitely give him face.

Wang Jindong said happily: "Brother Gao, your idea is really great. To be honest, Commander Wang of the 41st Army is our old commander. Of course, we hope he can be promoted, and we are willing to continue to follow the old commander.

Please worry about this matter, Brother Gao.”

Chief of Staff Liu was also very happy. He said: "Jiu Master is Jiu Master, and he always has a far-sighted view of any problem. This plan is the most ideal, but we will wait for your good news."

To be honest, the 41st Army now has six divisions, and the strong economic backing of the Nanyang area has actually reached the scale of a corps. The reason why it has not been promoted is related to the power struggle of the upper class.

The 41st Army has been independent all year round, and is somewhat alienated from the relationship within the Ninth War Zone. It is common not to consider their expansion.

This requires Gao Jiu to clear it up. The reason why he made this suggestion was because he was very confident.

As Chief of Staff Liu said, Gao Jiu believed that no one would refute his face if he proposed it.

Gao Jiu said, "Brother Wang, Minister Liu Chan, I will leave this matter to my brothers to operate. If you want to occupy Zhengzhou City, then stay here. Don't worry, if a fight occurs, in addition to the 41st Army troops, our Taohua Mountain guerrillas and the underground party's southwestern Shandong military sub-district will fully support you."

With Gao Jiu's guarantee, Wang Jindong and Chief of Staff Liu were full of joy and were waiting for promotion and wealth.

Wang Jindong signaled Chief Liu to bring another box with two hundred big yellow croakers. He knew that it would take money to go to the top to move, so he handed all of these to Gao Jiu to facilitate his relationship.

Gao Jiu took the 150 big yellow croaker from the previous one and returned the others to Wang Jindong and others.

He said, "This money is the benefit you have gained from Zhengzhou City. I will take the dividends I have given me. As for the others, I don't need to do anything else. We are brothers, so there is no need to spend money on doing things for you.

You have just arrived in Zhengzhou and spend a lot of money, so don’t be polite to me.”

Wang Jindong and Chief of Staff Liu knew that Gao Jiu was rich and arrogant, so they gave Gao Jiu a lot of thought, so they would be polite if Gao Jiu didn't accept them.

Next, the brothers drank happily and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

In order to help Wang Jindong and others defend Zhengzhou City and guard against the Japanese counterattack, Gao Jiu and others temporarily lived in Zhengzhou City.

Since Gao Jiu agreed to Wang Jindong and others, he did it as soon as possible. Now that the enemy situation here is serious, it is not convenient for him to go to Chongqing to do this in person, so he sent a telegram to Ouyang Xue, asking her to go back to Chongqing and get the matter done.

Ouyang Xue quickly replied to the telegram, saying that she would set off for Chongqing early tomorrow morning.

Zhiyuan County Town.

When Jiang Xiaomei saw Gao Jiu send the commander of the Japanese Second Air Force and those senior officers, she knew what Gao Jiu meant.

She was still a little unhappy and asked, "What are Brother Jiu doing?"

The squadron leader of the Taohuashan Guerrillas who were in charge of escorting the escort said: "Jiu Ye is assisting Commander Wang and others in defending Zhengzhou City, and he cannot come back for the time being. He asked me to say hello to you for him."

Jiang Xiaomei was not interested in this group of Japanese devils, so she handed it over to the Southwest Shandong Military Sub-district for them to deal with it.

I have to say that Gao Jiu's influence is too great. Ouyang Xue returned to Chongqing and took action under the name of Gao Jiu. The above order was soon arrived and agreed to expand the 41st Army of the Guo Army stationed in Nanyang to the 41st Corps, with the 69th Army, the newly formed 187th Army, the artillery brigade and other units.

Wang Jindong, the commander of the newly formed 187th Army, has a new 187th Division, the 93rd Division of the Northeast Army, the 228th Division of the Northwest Army, the Artillery Regiment and other units, with a team of 45,400 people.

At this time, it was only a week before Wang Jindong, Gao Jiu and others discussed the last time. Wang Jindong and Chief of Staff Liu really admire Gao Jiu's ability.

Wang Jindong said excitedly: "It is a blessing for us brothers to meet Brother Gao in this life."

Chief of Staff Liu was also very moved. He thought that when they first met Gao Jiu, they looked down on Gao Jiu, but now they have changed from a regiment to a division with Gao Jiu. Now they have expanded to form an army, and now they have become senior generals of the Guo Army. They have indeed benefited from Gao Jiu.

Nanyang City.

Commander Wang of the 41st Army was like dreaming. He didn't hear any news in advance. Suddenly, the 41st Army was expanded into the 41st Corps. When he woke up, he became the commander of the corps.

Even though he was happy, he felt that this incident was a bit incredible. He had thought about expanding the 41st Army before. Unfortunately, he asked someone to move for a long time and had no hope, so he gave up.

The sudden sense of happiness made him a little confused. He didn't know what good things he did touched God, and finally opened his eyes.

At this moment, Wang Jindong sent a telegram, congratulating Commander Wang on his promotion to the commander of the Corps, and said that this matter was the result of Gao Jiu's activities.

Wang Junchang understood a little, so he asked Wang Jindong to return to Nanyang City and personally inquire about the incident.

Commander Wang said with emotion: "We have today in the 41st Army. Thanks to your friend Gao Jiu, even I have benefited from it. Please tell Mr. Gao that when he returns to Nanyang, I will thank him well and never return without getting drunk." Wang Jindong returned to Zhengzhou City. After seeing Gao Jiu, he asked someone to bring a tin box with 400 yellow yellow croakers placed in it.

Gao Jiu asked in confusion: "Brother, what are you doing? We brothers don't need this."

Wang Jindong smiled and said, "Brother Gao, you must take this money. This is not what I mean by myself, but Commander Wang and the officers above the 41st Corps Division are in the same mood. Now everyone is following you to get promoted and make money, so you have to let everyone pay back this favor."

Gao Jiu must accept this kindness. He smiled and said, "Okay, I'm not polite, brother."

Seeing Gao Jiu accepting the gold bars, Wang Jindong and Chief of Staff Liu were very happy. Although Chief of Staff Liu was still the Chief of Staff, he is now the Chief of Staff.

He was very grateful to Wang Jindong, and of course he was also grateful to Gao Jiu, who also had one of the money he paid.

He always felt that he owed Gao Jiu a favor, and he felt very happy to be able to express it.

Gao Jiu called Jiang Yong, took out 20 big yellow croakers and handed them to him, and said, "I gave this money to my younger sister. Please collect it for me and give it to her when I have the chance."

Gao Jiu knew that if she gave the money directly to Jiang Xiaomei, she would definitely hand it over. If she gave it to Jiang Yong, she would fall into Jiang Xiaomei's hands in the future.

Jiang Yong knew that Gao Jiu was sincere to his sister. From a man's perspective, Gao Jiu did too many things for Jiang Xiaomei.

Now that the relationship between his sister and Gao Jiu is so awkward, there is no way to do it. It’s really no wonder that Gao Jiu is.

Jiang Yong expressed his gratitude to Gao Jiu on behalf of his sister.

Gao Jiu took out ten big yellow croakers and handed them to Jiang Yong, saying that these were for his father and him.

Gao Jiu promised that if the father and son needed money, they could speak to him at any time, and there would be no problem with other needs.

As the saying goes, love the house and the Wuwu, so much can Gao Jiu do for Jiang Xiaomei.

Jinan City.

When Yoshino, the commander of the 12th Japanese Army, learned that Gao Jiu had made such a big noise in Zhengzhou, he was really unbearable.

He felt that he had given Gao Jiu enough face, but he didn't expect that Gao Jiu would still be reluctant to give up, which really made him unable to get out of office. The most important thing was that he could not communicate with the Minister of the Army who recommended him.

He had not been the commander for a long time, but he had already lost almost a division's strength and an important city like Zhengzhou. He really had no way to submit a job to his superiors.

He discussed with the Chief of Staff and decided to teach Gao Jiu a lesson. Considering the current firepower advantages of the Taohuashan guerrillas, he sent a telegram to Tu Feiyuan, requesting to send heavy artillery troops to support and cooperate with the 12th Army to launch a large-scale attack on the southwestern Shandong region.

Tu Feiyuan has been serving in the Northeast Kwantung Army for most of his time. Although he had heard about Gao Jiu, it was nothing to do with him and he paid less attention. Since Gao Jiu caused a lot of trouble with the Japanese army in the Shanhaiguan area, he has taken it seriously.

This spy leader who comes from the special high school system is definitely an expert in intelligence.

He collected a lot of information about Gao Jiu, and then he found out that Gao Jiu was really a hateful food stick, and he was in trouble no matter where he was.

He found that Gao Jiu's damage to the Japanese army was too serious. If Gao Jiu was not eliminated, it would be almost impossible for the Japanese army to live a peaceful life.
