Although Wu Peifu, the commander-in-chief, was very satisfied in his heart, he did not show it at all on his face and showed no joy. This is the basic skill of a good general or politician.
Looking at the faces of Wu Peifu and others, although they were very sure about his coming this time, this cold encounter made them lose their confidence. Zhang Zongchang has always been careless, but he knew that this was a matter of great importance, and he did not dare to speak carelessly.
, just while drinking tea, he kept squinting at Zhang Jinghui with his eyes.
Zhang Jinghui seemed calm even though he had a heavy responsibility. He took a sip of tea, commented "good tea", slowly placed the tea cup on the table, and gently pushed it aside.
Wu Peifu looked careless, but in fact his eyes were always staring at the two people's movements. He saw Zhang Zongchang's anxiety, and Zhang Jinghui's pretense of calmness was also seen by him. When he saw him put down the teacup,
He knew that Zhang Jinghui was about to get down to business.
Sure enough, Zhang Jinghui said solemnly: "Commander Yu, generals! I, Zhang Jinghui, and Zhang Zongchang came all the way today to shoulder the mission of our Marshal Zhang! I know that this errand is difficult to handle. In the past two years, we
The two parties were still fighting to the death. Today, we suddenly sat at the same table. Not only did you feel a little uncomfortable, but even I was on pins and needles! But despite this, the two of us still came together. This was not just for me.
Army, but also for Yushuai and everyone here!"
An imperceptible smile appeared at the corner of Wu Peifu's mouth, and he pretended to be surprised and said: "Oh, I don't know why General Zhang said that?"
Zhang Jinghui looked around at everyone present and knew that he had to show some sincerity if he wanted to complete the task. Even if the other party was deliberately testing him, he couldn't be angry, otherwise based on his temper, if it were someone else, he wouldn't have known it early.
I just slapped the table and cursed my mother a few times.
Zhang Jinghui also smiled and said: "Shuai Yu understands righteousness well, do you really not know the reason? My Marshal and Yu Shuai are both drunkards who don't care about wine, but the mountains and rivers! Nowadays, with Feng Yuxiang's tens of thousands
Is it really possible to take down Peiping with human strength? Impossible! Just yesterday, a telegram came from Peiping. General Zhang Xueliang and General Han Baihang gave Feng Yuxiang a blow when they met each other, resulting in the loss of nearly 10,000 people!
It’s not that I, Zhang, am talking nonsense here, even if Commander Yu doesn’t send troops, the two of them can handle the war in Peiping!”
Wu Peifu's eyes flashed with light when he heard Han Baihang's name. He originally wanted to ask about Han Baihang's situation, but he held back because he knew that as long as he showed the slightest expression, he would put himself in this situation.
The initiative in the negotiation was even less. But even so, Zhang Jinghui still caught the subtle nostalgia. He continued: "Shuai Yu may not know yet, but General Han Baihang has now been promoted to lieutenant general.
You are young, and your future is limitless. We, Marshal Zhang, value General Han extremely highly. We all say that he dares to fight and plan every plan. When fighting, he is able to take surprise and the enemy cannot find him..."
"Yes, yes, this guy back then..." When Wu Peifu heard this, he couldn't help but smile and continued. But as soon as he said the words, he knew that he had said too much. After all, Han Baihang was now a member of the Fengcheng Department.
Human, alas!
Zhang Jinghui quickly took the opportunity to say: "Commander Yu, General Han braved the disapproval of the world and the pressure of practicing military law to let you return to the deep sea. I heard that whether it was in your army or in our service,
It's all a good talk among the army! We Marshal Zhang took a fancy to his spirit of loyalty to Commander Yu, so we tried every means to train him and entrust him with important tasks. No, he is now in the Third Army Corps
The commander of the regiment is the elite of our elite troops. Marshal Zhang entrusts him with such an important unit. How much trust must he have in him!"
Wu Peifu nodded slowly and couldn't help but say: "Yes! I supported Han Baihang with my single hand. He has many clever ideas in fighting and is able to get things done. Alas! When she surrendered to your Fengjun, it was a last resort.
Yeah. I didn't mean to blame him. There is an old saying in China, "It is better to die than live." Even if it were me, I would probably make the same choice as him. Later I heard that he also did it for his own benefit.
He chose to surrender only if his subordinates could survive. He is such a proud person, so it’s hard for him!"
Zhang Jinghui listened, sighed, and said: "Who says it's not the case! If you say so, I have to thank you, Marshal Yu, on behalf of my commander-in-chief. If you hadn't trained such an excellent general, I might have been killed not long ago.
During the Battle of Fengtian, we just...well, in the final analysis, it's all the fault of this guy Feng Yuxiang. If he hadn't defected halfway back then, General Han Baihang wouldn't have been forced to end up helpless in the end!"
Wu Peifu thought deeply and said nothing.
Zhang Jinghui knew that Yu Commander Wu Peifu was already a little excited. At this time, he was considering whether to send troops to attack Feng Yuxiang. Zhang Jinghui lost no time and said: "Jade Commander, everyone, I know what everyone is thinking, but look at it, even if I serve
The army alone dealt with Feng Yuxiang's National Army. But look at the south. The Kuomintang and the Communist Party are cooperating. There is even news about the Northern Expedition. Our commander is outside the pass. He is far away. Even if it is the Northern Expedition, he will be the last to attack my commander. But Yu
You are different, Marshal. If the National Revolutionary Army in Guangdong goes on the Northern Expedition, I am afraid that you, Marshal Yu, will be the first one! Now is the best opportunity to cooperate with the Feng clique. When the time comes, we will attack and retreat together, and we will still be afraid of other people.
Revolutionary Army? Commander Yu, you have to prepare for a rainy day!"
Jade Commander Wu Peifu was still deep in thought and did not speak.
Zhang Jinghui stood up, took two steps forward, and took out something from his arms. Everyone was surprised, thinking that he was taking out a gun, and quickly drew it out. But when they saw what was in his hand, they were all stunned.
Sat down.
Zhang Jinghui brought Zhang Zuolin and Marshal Zhang's orchid sticker to Yushuai Wu Peifu and said: "Shuai Yu, my boss is afraid that you will think he is not sincere. No, he taught me to bring the orchid sticker. He has always admired your character.
, I am willing to become brothers of the opposite sex with you, sharing blessings and hardships together, I wonder what Yushuai wants?"
"What? Zhang Zuolin wants to become a brother with Yu Shuai?" This news immediately caused a stir in the hall. Some people disagreed, some were surprised, and everyone was talking about it. As long as Wu Peifu was still doing it
, after a long while, he slowly stood up and took out something from his arms.
