Faced with the trust of two superiors and elders, Marshal Zhang Zuolin and Zhang Zuoxiang, Han Baihang didn't know what to say. This was his duty, so he had no choice but to nod heavily. In his heart, he was shocked to accept this thing that others saw.
It seems like a completely impossible task.
Seeing this, Zhang Zuolin and Marshal Zhang finally relaxed a little. He asked with concern: "Baihang, what else do you want? As long as it is what you need, I will try my best to satisfy you!"
Han Baihang thought for a while and said: "Commander, I have another request, that is, the news of my arrival in Fengtian must be strictly blocked. No one knows my traces along the way. Even Sun Chuanfang of Shandong Province did not notice it.
If the news is leaked here, I’m afraid the situation in Shandong will be... difficult!"
Zhang Zuolin and Zhang Zuoxiang didn't seem to believe what they heard. It turned out that Han Baihang had come from Shandong without any knowledge. No wonder they had been curious about why Sun Chuanfang hadn't taken any action after Han Baihang left Shandong. So that's it.
Zhang Zuolin said quickly: "You boy, this is really... unexpected! In this way, the military command of Fengtian is now handed over to you. Whatever you say will be whatever you say. Liuzi believes in you, and I believe in you too!"
Zhang Zuoxiang was secretly surprised. He turned around and glanced at Zhang Zuolin, suggesting that he be more cautious. Zhang Zuolin also looked back at him, and then pretended not to notice.
Han Baihang was stunned for a moment. He did not expect Zhang Zuolin and Marshal Zhang to make such a decision. Military command is the lifeblood of a general, how could he hand it over to others so easily? This is equivalent to handing his name into the hands of the other party.
Han Baihang was a little surprised, and even more admired Zhang Zuolin and Marshal Zhang's courage. He quickly said: "Thank you Marshal for thinking so highly of me. I will do my best to live up to everyone's expectations and protect the safety of Fengtian!"
Han Baihang, who accepted the military command of Fengtian, had greater opportunities to perform, but he also shouldered a heavier burden. Facing the menacing Third Army, he had to make the best arrangements as quickly as possible.
In order to better confuse the enemy, Han Baihang had to make one last request to Zhang Zuolin and Marshal Zhang.
Seeing Han Baihang's solemn expression, Zhang Zuolin and Zhang Zuoxiang were a little confused.
Han Baihang thought for a moment and said, "I hope you, Marshal, can also obey my arrangements!"
Zhang Zuolin was stunned for a moment. No one had ever dared to ask himself like this, and no one could control his actions. But now Han Baihang actually asked himself to obey his arrangements. Doesn't this mean that he wants to completely take over the command of the Fengxi faction?
Zhang Zuolin hesitated for a moment, but agreed to his request. He is a person who trusts people without trusting others. Since you have chosen Han Baihang, trust him.
Han Baihang knew that his request was a bit excessive, but he had to do this if he wanted to stop Guo Songling's powerful Third Corps. Now was not the time to tell Marshal Zhang. He was once again touched by Zhang Zuolin and Marshal Zhang's trust in him.
There was even some suspicion that Dashuai Zhang was in a hurry and sought medical treatment, so he chose to believe himself.
But no matter what, my first step of the plan came true, so if I take it... let's go head-on.
Han Baihang said goodbye to Marshal Zhang. He still had a lot of work to do, and it would be difficult for him to have time to rest. The moment he walked out of the Marshal's mansion, he realized something was wrong behind him.
When Han Baihang returned, Zhang Zuolin and Marshal Zhang had put on a military uniform and were standing not far behind him. The leaves in the courtyard were some withered yellow and some were green, and the walls of the Marshal's Mansion were towering, making Marshal Zhang look a little old and short.
But he stood so straight, it seemed that even if the entire commander's mansion collapsed, he would not be able to bend his back.
Behind him was Marshal Zhang's second wife. The fifth wife no longer leaned against the Marshal as usual, but stood quietly behind the fourth wife, and next to her were the third wife and the second wife.
Zhang Zuolin and Marshal Zhang stood quietly, while several concubines bowed deeply to Han Baihang.
Han Baihang was shocked by this scene, and everyone was a little surprised.
When did Zhang Zuolin and Marshal Zhang make such an action, and when did Marshal Zhang show such respect to a general? Han Baihang felt compelled to take action, and at the same time he also felt a deep sense of responsibility. He must go all out.
Han Baihang did not speak and silently accepted the respect of Zhang Zuolin and Marshal Zhang, because he knew that it would be better not to say anything at this time. What everyone wanted to see was not how much he vowed, but his actions.
Han Baihang walked out of the Marshal's Mansion, looking very much like Jing Ke who never looked back when he left Yishui.
Han Baihang must immediately engage in battle deployment. He has received news from the garrison troops along the road. Guo Songling's third army is making rapid progress. In just two days, it has reached Jinzhou from Luanzhou and is about to approach.
Fengtian City, such a speed is really catching people off guard.
In addition, there was even worse news waiting for him. Not only did Han Baihang not expect this news, but even Zhang Zuolin and Marshal Zhang did not expect it - Li Jinglin also rebelled.
Li Jinglin led his 30,000 troops and set off from the waterway. Now they have arrived at the Yingkou area and are on their way to join Guo Songlin.
The two news came one after another, like a continuous thunderbolt, which made everyone's scalp numb and breathless for a long time. This is too unbelievable. If this is really the case, is it possible for Fengtian to hold on?
Some generals who had been very determined before also began to have doubts.
Yes, Guo Songling's Third Army is already extremely difficult to deal with. In addition, Li Jinglin's troops, no matter which general here is handed over to, dare not say that they can defend Fengtian. Even Han Baihang heard
After this news, his expression became serious.
Zhang Zuolin and Marshal Zhang even sent people to discuss with Han Baihang. Although he didn't say it clearly, Han Baihang still heard a hint of the commander's meaning, which was: If you really can't hold it, then retreat. Say no.
There is still a glimmer of hope for the movement. Yes, Zhang Zuolin and Marshal Zhang, who had always been extremely determined, were also shaken. He no longer had any hope.
Han Baihang gritted his teeth and sent the visitor out. He asked someone to give Zhang Dashuai a message: As long as the people are there, the city is here.
Han Baihang has made up his mind. Let alone the Third Army, let alone Li Jinglin, even if more enemies come, he will defend Fengtian, not only for Zhang Dashuai and Zhang Xueliang, but also for the common people and the Republic of China. (
