He Fuguang smiled calmly and said, "Where is Lord Wu? Lord Wu is brave and wise, and is very upright and has won the hearts of the people in the army. It is a matter that everyone hopes to be able to do today."

Wu Shaoting smiled bitterly and sighed, and said sincerely: "Brother Chongshi doesn't have to be polite to me. I am not Liang Kui, so there is no need to say anything about face. Although I am the General Staff Officer today, I will communicate and discuss with you more about the affairs of the General Staff Office in the future. If you and I work together, we will definitely be able to do a great cause."

He Fuguang smiled calmly and said, "I will naturally follow Lord Wu's leader, and I would like to thank Lord Wu for his trust in his subordinates."

Wu Shaoting laughed and said, "You are a senior. Don't call yourself a subordinate in front of me. I can't afford it."

He Fuguang smiled but stopped talking.

Wu Shaoting patted He Fuguang on the shoulder and turned around to walk back to the General Staff Headquarters. He looked like a smile before, but suddenly became gloomy.

He just said something heart-to-heart talk was just to test He Fuguang's reaction.

Now it seems that He Fuguang is a bit unreliable!

If He Fuguang was moved and grateful at that time, then it could be seen that this person could be won over!

But in the end, the other party looked calm and even finally agreed that he should not call himself a "subordinate". All these signs indicate that in He Fuguang's heart, he should be the chief officer of the General Staff.

Wu Shaoting sighed quietly in his heart. What he hated most was such a person. He was talented but could not be willing to use it for himself, but he was afraid that he would become a different faction in the General Staff sooner or later and compete with him.

Of course, he naturally couldn't touch He Fuguang at this moment, but it didn't mean he would surrender.

Anyone who blocks himself must be eradicated! Even if He Fuguang was pretty good to him before!

The staff of the General Staff is to assist the Commander's Office in military affairs, but there is no major event now in the 24 towns. It was just reviewed by the Military Training Department not long ago. Now it is hibernation. In addition, the First Commander's Office is also responsible for the full range of military affairs. Although the First Commander's Office is a separate military officer, because there is only one person, he can only handle some groceries. Most of the military affairs are still distributed from the General Staff.

The busiest time of each month is the days when military pay is distributed.

Sometimes, I accidentally caught up with things like updating the arms, replenishing materials, and so on, so I got busy.

It was like the cotton suits that the soldiers clamored for the winter before the New Year. The military officer pushed them to the General Staff. After a long time of consideration, the General Staff felt helpless and turned them to the Army Office.

If you want to send troops to fight, the General Staff will be even more busy.

Although the General Staff Department has seven attendants, three copywriters and two draftsmen, there are only three real staff ranks. Especially when the last time the troops were sent to Xin'an to suppress bandits and military exercises, there were no Wu Shaoting, only He Fuguang and Xu Haiying. They were busy co-counselors and managing the supply of military supplies, and they wanted to divide one person into three people to use it.

However, the General Staff was very idle when they were idle, and everyone began to miss the busyness.

On the fifth day after Wu Shaoting took office, the recommendation letter he wrote during the handover in the first battalion finally had an echo.

That morning, he had just walked into the main entrance of the commander's compound, and Zhao Sheng's adjutant hurriedly came out.

Zhao Sheng's adjutant said that Biao Tong invited Lord Wu to the office for a lecture, and told him that it was the Army's yamen who approved Lord Wu's letter.

Wu Shaoting was a little surprised. Why did he send his recommendation letter to Zhao Sheng when he replied to him? When he wrote the recommendation letter to General, the Army Yamen returned directly to him.

He vaguely felt that this was not a good sign, but he couldn't guess the reason for a while, so he followed him to see Zhao Sheng before talking. He immediately nodded in agreement and followed Zhao Sheng's adjutant to walk deeper into the commander's place.

When he arrived at Zhao Sheng's office, the adjutant stood at the door and reported.

Zhao Sheng immediately got up and went out to greet him. Now Wu Shaoting's identity is different, which makes him feel helpless.

After a simple greeting, Zhao Sheng asked the adjutant to withdraw and brought the door.

At this time, only Wu Shaoting and Zhao Sheng were left in the office. Wu Shaoting and Zhao Sheng sat down in front of the tea table in the small hall next to the tea table. A small stove was placed under the window next to the tea table, and the kettle above was slowly emitting white smoke.

Zhao Sheng slowly arranged the tea set, and after crushing the tea cakes, the water in the kettle just boiled. He lifted the kettle and poured a bowl of white water, washed the drink utensils one by one, and then started making tea leisurely.

Wu Shaoting waited for Zhao Sheng patiently. Although he felt strange, he had to ask him to talk about the recommendation letter, why was the other party so elegant? He knew very well that Zhao Sheng was not a fool. If he had read the recommendation letter, he would definitely know his intention.

He is dismantling the first battalion that Zhao Sheng has worked hard to manage. Zhao Sheng should be both anxious and angry!

"Mr. Zhao, why are you so happy today?" he asked slowly and tentatively.

"Haha, drink more tea in early spring and be more energetic. Many people are prone to sleepiness when spring comes. It is only during this period that I started drinking tea." Zhao Sheng smiled lukewarmly. As he said, he picked up the tea bowl and poured out the first dish. The first dish was just washing tea, and the second dish started to drink.

Soon, the second tea dish was ready. Zhao Sheng picked up the tea bowl and filled Wu Shaoting's tea cup first, and then poured himself a cup.

"Mr. Wu tasted it. The Tieguanyin that I just collected before the New Year of Jian'ou, Fujian cannot get it!" Zhao Sheng asked.

"Mr. Zhao, you come to me for a while and I don't know if it's as simple as drinking tea." Wu Shaoting said slowly. He took a sip of tea while it was hot. The tea was very bitter and had a smell of Jiao Xiang. After drinking along his throat, it felt very fresh.

"Mr. Wu, you are now the General Staff Officer. It seems that the General is not very respectful to you." After Zhao Sheng drank the tea, he breathed a deep breath of relief. His tone of speech was a bit careless, as if he didn't care about anything.

"Mr. Zhao just say anything. There are no outsiders here now, so why should you be so silly?" Wu Shaoting said bluntly.

"Since Lord Wu is so direct, I'll forgive me for saying it." Zhao Sheng put down the kettle and stopped giving him any refills.

He calmly adjusted his sitting posture to make himself look stronger, and then said, "Mr. Wu, although I, Mr. Zhao, have had a holiday with you, at least the matter has passed. I have not had any conflicts with you again during this period. Why do you have to go in every way, Lord Wu?"

Wu Shaoting coughed and sneered: "Mr. Zhao, what do you mean? Why can't I understand?"

Zhao Sheng hummed gloomyly, with contempt on his face and said, "It's boring to say that, Lord Wu. You said just now that there are no outsiders here, so you might as well say something. Now you are pretending to be garlic with me? Haha, how can you bear it?"

His smile was sharp, like a poison-tempered dagger.

Wu Shaoting could finally conclude that Zhao Sheng had indeed read the approval of the recommendation letter. He even felt that the recommendation letter was very likely to be passed smoothly, and Chen Fang would immediately take over as the acting battalion commander tomorrow. Because Zhao Sheng's attitude today was too abnormal, this guy was angry in the past and would never be so polite to invite tea first.

This time it was his turn to smile calmly and said calmly: "Mr. Zhao, are you saying that I would like to recommend Chen Fang as the agent and manager of the first battalion?"

Zhao Sheng said in a bad tone: "I brought the first battalion, and most of the brothers in it were my old subordinates of the old army back then. Now, you patted your butt and took office. You arranged for someone to take over the leadership of the first battalion. What are you going to do with me openly?"

Wu Shaoting shook his head helplessly, with a very contemptuous expression. He said, "Mr. Zhao, you and I could have become friends, comrades-in-arms, and brothers! But I never expected that you have targeted me from the beginning. These were trivial matters. At worst, I would give in to you and apply to the yamen for the first bid to transfer. But that time I went to Xin'an..."
