Han Baihang sometimes thinks that it would be better if he didn't know this period of history of the Republic of China. If his life had been blank from the moment he was taken in by Yu Shuai, he wouldn't be as distressed as he is now.
The history of the Republic of China, after all, is not just a history of wars. Warlords fight warlords, warlords fight the Revolutionary Army, the Communist Party fights the Kuomintang, the Chinese fight the Japanese, and the Chinese fight the Chinese! But now, he
When can Han Baihang wait for the day when the Chinese people will unite to resist foreign aggression? In these years, warlords have been killing each other. Aren’t all the Chinese people dead? Aren’t all the Chinese people injured? Aren’t all the Chinese people suffering?
?
Sometimes, Han Baihang would even think that whether it was his old superior, Marshal Wu Peifu, or Marshal Zhang Zuolin, one day they suddenly changed their tune and joined the ranks of the revolution. Their common goals were those ambitious foreign powers, but this
It's just an unrealistic dream. If that happens one day, Han Baihang will probably wake up laughing from his dream.
But reality is reality. No matter how capable Han Baihang is, he can only follow reality step by step. The most painful thing for a person is this. He knows the direction of development of things and the disaster that the country will face, but
It's heartbreaking to be unable to change.
Han Baihang can only face reality.
After hearing the news that Wu Peifu and Feng Jun had reached an alliance, Marshal Zhang Xueliang, who had originally handed over the army to Han Baihang, completely let go this time. He just wandered around the city of Peiping every day, looking for flowers and willows, and having fun everywhere. Han Baihang was helpless.
, I can only carry all the burden on my shoulders.
In the current situation, he doesn't need to be so cowardly. Han Baihang feels a little funny about how he led troops to fight this time. Others are afraid of not being able to defeat the opponent, but he is afraid of beating the opponent away. It's really ridiculous.
, but this is also the need of the times!
In this case, he must change his combat strategy. If the army of Commander-in-Chief Wu Peifu arrives, it will not deal a devastating blow to Feng Yuxiang's National Army. The hatred between the two parties can be said to be as high as the sky and as deep as the sea.
If Feng Yuxiang hadn't defected back then, Wu Peifu wouldn't have been defeated and left.
Han Baihang also understood Zhang Xueliang's indifference to some extent. Now he admired Zhang Xueliang more and more, because he thought very clearly that since he couldn't keep up with Han Baihang in the battle formation, he would simply give up all his rights.
Leave it to him. Besides, Han Baihang will be responsible for the defeat. He also has a share of the credit for the victory. Why not? More importantly, this way you can avoid direct confrontation with the Zhili Army.
, it’s really a good way to kill two birds with one stone.
These are not the main points. What Han Baihang admires most is that Marshal Zhang Xueliang is willing to delegate power, which is exactly the same as Marshal Zhang Zuolin. Marshal Zhang can hand over all government affairs in the department to Yang Yuting, which is enough to show his respect for Yang Yuting.
Trust, and Marshal Zhang Xueliang was first able to completely hand over the most elite troops in his hands to Guo Songling, and now he was able to hand over the actual command of the Third Army to himself. It seems that he already has great trust in himself.
You must know how difficult and risky it is to hand over the power in your hands. From this point, you can see whether he is sincere in his treatment of his subordinates. Those who want to do great things must first trust others.
Han Baihang deeply felt that Zhang Xueliang was such a person.
If it were another person, after being betrayed by the person he trusted most, would he still hand over the military power to the next person? Of course not, because there will be a second time for this kind of thing.
As the saying goes, "Once bitten by a snake, you will be afraid of well ropes for a thousand years." This is the mentality of ordinary people, but Zhang Xueliang did the opposite. Not only did he give all the military power of the army to himself, but he also handed over
He's so clean and tidy, it's really admirable for his big heart!
Han Baihang finally understood why when one day Chiang Kai-shek was unwilling to resist Japan, Zhang Xueliang was able to rely on his personal charm to coerce Chiang Kai-shek into uniting to resist Japan in Lintong, Shaanxi! Don't those who followed him know that they were facing the head of state?
Are Zhang Xueliang's subordinates all men who are not afraid of death? No, that's because Zhang Xueliang believes in them, and they also believe in Zhang Xueliang. They believe that Zhang Xueling will not deceive them, just like they have never betrayed Marshal Zhang's trust.
Sure enough, the generals have no dogs! Han Baihang sighed, China will need more people like this in the future!
Now that Zhang Xueliang had given up the choice, Han Baihang had no choice but to shoulder the responsibility himself. He ordered Gao Hongyi to lead a division to the train station to escort the troops, and ordered Shi Shihuzi and his two men to lead another division, the 28th Division, and so on until the arrangements were completed.
Han Baihang felt relieved now.
What Han Baihang was most afraid of was that Feng Yuxiang sent troops to sneak attack Yushuai Wu Peifu before they reached the battlefield in Peking. Then Yushuai would have to blame himself for not thinking carefully.
Ambushing halfway is his specialty, but if he uses this trick too much, it will inevitably be learned by others. Just in case, Han Baihang still sent his own troops to respond, even though he thought that Yu Shuai's troops were
There should be preventive measures in this regard, but he doesn't know who the opponent's general is. If someone has his eyes higher than his head, he will suffer a big loss.
Come on! It’s better to work hard on yourself than to be scolded by Ai Yushuai and Zhang Zuolin.
The train going south was approaching from afar. In a quiet and well-decorated carriage, Wu Peifu read the newspaper quietly. From time to time, he asked the guard next to him for the time. Although he had a pocket watch, he still compared it.
For a moment, this is a habit left over from many years of fighting on the battlefield, in order to prevent problems with my watch and delay the opportunity to fight.
It was estimated that they would arrive in Peiping in less than half an hour. Wu Peifu was still a little uneasy. He didn't have to come to Peiping, but he came anyway. In name, he was leading troops to fight. In fact, he just wanted to
It was just a person he wanted to see. Originally, that person was supposed to come to see him, but he was commanding the army and couldn't leave. Wu Peifu had no choice but to "condescend"!
In addition, Wu Peifu also had another purpose in arriving in Peking this time, which was to meet Zhang Zuolin and Marshal Zhang. The two parties must finalize the alliance. There are some things that can only be said by the two of them. And what he chose
The location was Peiping. He couldn't take the initiative to go to Fengtian to meet Zhang Zuolin. This would make people feel that he was being humbled. Therefore, when they came to Peiping, both of them treated each other equally. Of course, it might be better to choose Tianjin, but he just had a little selfishness!
