In order to obtain the cooperation of Wu Peifu and Sun Chuanfang, Zhang Zuolin and Marshal Zhang can be said to have really lost their old face. This is the advantage of people who come from a gangster background. They only focus on the actual results and not their own face.
So important, as long as it is beneficial to him, he will do everything possible to do it.
It is conceivable how difficult it is to join forces with his two biggest enemies, but no matter how difficult it is, Zhang Zuolin and Marshal Zhang must continue, because the alliance between them is based on common interests.
You can see that they fought to the death, but the relationship between these warlords is "one prosperes, one suffers, both suffer losses", and no one can run away from the other.
In fact, Zhang Zuolin and Marshal Zhang did not expect Wu Peifu and Sun Chuanfang to actually send troops to help him fight the war. What he wanted was a statement from the other party that they were on the same side as him. As for the war, Feng Yuxiang's tens of thousands
As for the army, he believed that Zhang Xueliang and Han Baihang, the two youngest generals who had contact with the army, could completely handle it.
Before dawn the next day, Wu Peifu and Sun Chuanfang, who received Zhang Zuolin's telegram, couldn't wait to summon their subordinates to discuss the matter. After all, this was very likely to be related to their own worth, life and development prospects. How could they not pay attention to it?
Besides, someone as ambitious as Zhang Zuolin, who always has a high level of ambition, attaches so much importance to the Second Congress of the Kuomintang, so what reason does he have for not paying attention to it!
The key question is whether they want to cooperate with others, or whether they have the strength to fight alone against the possible threat to them from the National Army in the future. This is what Wu Peifu and Sun Chuanfang value most.
Sun Chuanfang returned without much success since he met Han Baihang in Shandong last time, except for losing his troops and generals. Although the five-province coalition did not dare to have too many words against him, some people were still a little dissatisfied.
This time he had to discuss cooperation with Zhang Zuolin and Fengjun again, which might be a bit difficult. He didn't dare to have any guarantees about this matter.
But for Wu Peifu, who is caught in the middle, this cooperation is undoubtedly a good opportunity for him. Putting aside the grudges between himself and Zhang Zuolin back then, judging from the current situation, he is at a huge disadvantage.
, so finding "allies" and strengthening one's own strength is a top priority.
Not long ago, the strength of the National Revolutionary Army in the South has become stronger and stronger, and it seems that its ambitions are not small, and its own force is currently the weakest. If the National Revolutionary Army in the South wants to go north, I will bear the brunt. This is for
Extremely disadvantageous to oneself.
Cooperating with Zhang Zuolin to fight against others is undoubtedly beneficial to yourself. In this case, why not do it?
However, the same problem as Sun Chuanfang encountered. He once had a life-or-death feud with Zhang Zuolin, and his subordinates also hated Fengjun. If they were to cooperate with Fengjun now, it would be very difficult for Kong Ou.
Therefore, Wu Peifu had to hold a military meeting to solicit everyone's opinions.
Wu Peifu got straight to the point: "Everyone, I received a telegram from Fengjun last night. It was Zhang Zuolin and Zhang Xiaozi. The content was very simple. He wanted to unite with us to deal with Feng Yuxiang. Of course, I won't tell you the tricks involved.
I also know that now I want to hear your opinions on the attack and tell me what you think!"
As soon as Wu Peifu finished speaking, there was a burst of restlessness. Wu Peifu waved his hand and said: "Don't argue, don't argue... What's there to argue about? If any of you have an opinion, just stand up and say it, one by one.
Come on, say everything you want to say and put the issue on the table!"
The scene was silent for a while, which was in sharp contrast to the commotion just now. Everyone has followed Wu Peifu Yushuai for so many years, and they have some understanding of his thoughts. Since Yushuai can bring the problem to the table,
It shows that his view on this matter is moderate, and even agrees with it. If Yushuai is not optimistic about something, he will directly refute it, and there will be no room for negotiation.
But cooperating with Zhang Zuolin is not a trivial matter after all. After a few minutes of silence, Wu Peifu's confidant general Kou Yingjie said slowly: "Shuai Yu, and everyone, personally, I am extremely reluctant to cooperate with Zhang Zuolin.
As for cooperation, everyone is not clear about the grievances between us and Fengjun. Even if we cooperate, I think there will definitely be many conflicts. But judging from the situation we are facing now, cooperation with Fengjun seems to be the best option.
Good plan. The National Revolutionary Army in the south is getting stronger day by day. This is not good news for us, and Sun Chuanfang’s strength cannot be underestimated. We are caught in the middle and cannot move. If we can cooperate with Fengjun, the pressure
It has lightened up a lot, that's my opinion!" After saying that, he glanced at Wu Peifu, the handsome man, and sat down minding his own business.
Wu Peifu was noncommittal, squinting at everyone present, and suddenly looked at Army Commander Song Dapei. Song Dapei also knew what he should say. He stood up slowly and said: "Commander Yu, generals here, Commander Kou just now
What he said makes sense, and I basically agree with his opinion. With our current strength, it is not good to go to war with either side, so I also think that cooperation with Fengjun is the most suitable. But that is not what I am worried about.
Yes, is Zhang Zuolin sincere? If Zhang Zuolin just said it casually, or reneged on his words, then we would be fooling the North. Besides, Zhang Zuolin and Zhang Zuolin have done so little.
?Shuai Yu, we have to guard against this!"
At this time, seeing everyone's attitude towards cooperation, Li Pinxian also stood up quickly and said: "Commander Yu, generals, I, Mr. Li, have never agreed to cooperate with Fengjun. I also advise you not to have too much hope in Zhang Zuolin.
, Everyone, think about how Zhang Zuolin was so merciful to us during the Zhili-Fengtian war. None of the generals here died at the hands of Zhang Zuolin? If we cooperate with Zhang Zuolin, my subordinates will not agree to it at first. What do you think?
Say, how can you lead my soldiers? Aren't you afraid that your soldiers will mutiny?"
After Li Pinxian finished speaking, he sat down angrily. When Song Dapei saw that Commander Wu Peifu's face was not very good, he quickly stood up and said: "Commander Yu, everyone, what General Li just said is true. Our soldiers are indeed
There was a grudge against Zhang Zuolin’s Fengjun, but we can’t give up such a great opportunity just because of what happened in the past, right?”
