Chapter 1212 The banquet that decides the overall situation
Han Baihang has already prepared a banquet to entertain Yushuai Wu Peifu and Zhang Zuolin. Some things do not have to be so formal. Many decisive opinions are often discussed at the dinner table. Han Baihang knows this truth very well. Especially
With the relationship between Yushuai and Zhang Dashuai now, it would be unkind to bring the issue to the living room to discuss.
Zhang Zuolin invited Marshal Wu Peifu to the upper position. Wu Peifu's modest words could not withstand Zhang Zuolin's insistence, so he sat down. Next to him were Zhang Xueliang and Han Baihang.
Firstly, Zhang Xueliang was dissatisfied with Zhang Zuolin's heavy use of Yang Yuting, so even if Zhang Zuolin and Marshal Zhang came to Peiping, he did not come out to greet him in person. Zhang Zuolin saw it and did not say anything. However, Zhang Xueliang still knew the importance of this banquet, so let it go.
For the development of the Fengxian, he must also be there to accompany him.
Zhang Xueliang himself did not respect Wu Peifu very much. Zhang Zuolin looked at his son, but Zhang Xueliang did not understand what he meant and turned his head away instead.
Wu Peifu saw through it but did not tell him. He knew that Zhang Zuolin was more anxious than him now.
Sure enough, Zhang Zuolin and Marshal Zhang glanced at Han Baihang. Han Baihang immediately understood what the Marshal meant. He stood up and filled up the wine glass. He picked up the glass and said to Marshal Yu Wu Peifu and Marshal Zhang Zuolin: "Shuai Yu, Marshal, today
We are eating together, so Han Baihang is not formal. I would like to toast the first glass of wine to the two seniors, thanking them for supporting me, Han Baihang, over the years. If it weren’t for Yushuai, I, Han Baihang, might not know it now.
Where are you working? If it weren't for the commander, I would have died in the battle long ago! My life was given by you two, and I, Han Baihang, can't repay you even if I have a grass title ring. I will take this opportunity today to have a drink with you two seniors.
A thin bottle of wine, just to express my feelings!" As he said that, he raised his head and drank it all.
Listening to Han Baihang say these words, Zhang Zuolin and Marshal Zhang laughed happily and said: "Baihang, we are all a family now, you don't have to be polite! From now on, your business will be the business of our old Zhang family.
No, I think you and the Fifth Madam’s niece Ruyi are in love. Let’s do this. After we go back this time, I will make the decision for you. Let’s get married. What do you think?”
Before Han Baihang could say anything, Zhang Zuolin and Marshal Zhang interrupted: "That's it! It's time for you to start a family. As a young man, you still have to consider this kind of issue! You don't have any relatives, so be it.
When the time comes, invite Mr. Wu to the high seat, and it will be your high hall. Then we will really be a family, hahaha..."
Han Baihang knew that he couldn't refuse at this time. If he refused, not only would he not give Zhang Dashuai face, but he would also think that Yu Shuai was not qualified to be his superior. Han Baihang paused and said: "Thank you, Dashuai!" He picked up the wine glass.
Another toast to the two handsome men.
Wu Peifu, the commander-in-chief, looked a little sad. After all, Han Baihang was his subordinate, not his son, but more of a son. If he had not let Han Baihang fall into an isolated and helpless situation during the Zhifeng War, I am afraid that he would still be under his control now.
Be around!
Wu Peifu knew that based on Han Baihang's character, even if he was defeated, he would still follow him and help him rebuild the country. But not only did he let him go deep alone, but he also did not send troops to rescue him, leaving him with the strength of a division.
Against Fengjun's most elite third legion, if it had been anyone else, they would have either surrendered or been annihilated. However, Han Baihang fought them to a draw. In the end, the opponent's reinforcements arrived, and he was unable to fight, and his own reinforcements
Well... I didn't send reinforcements at all.
Yushuai gave a bitter smile, picked up the wine glass and said: "Baihang, you are becoming more and more promising now. I am also happy for you. Don't worry, when you get married, I will definitely go. Not only will I go, but I will also
I want to arrange this marriage for you in a glamorous manner, but I can’t be stingy about this wedding! If I am stingy, I will not only be the one who will embarrass you, but also the one who will embarrass me, Wu Peifu!"
He turned around and said to Zhang Zuolin: "Brother Zhang, I'll leave this matter to you. When the time comes, all the prominent people must be invited. If you wrong Baihang, you will be in trouble with me and Wu Peifu. Be careful when I arrive."
It’s time to turn over your table!” He said, picking up the wine and drinking it down in one gulp.
Zhang Zuolin quickly apologized and said with a smile: "Brother Wu, I know you regard Baihang as your own son, so why don't I? Don't worry, if I don't handle this matter well, I will personally go to your house to apologize.
!" Seeing that Wu Peifu, the handsome man, was still a little melancholy, Zhang Zuolin smiled and said: "Brother Wu, aren't we a family? Why are we still seeing each other like this! I know you can't bear to leave Baihang. In fact, he is here with me and with you.
Everything is the same there, how about I transfer him there for you?"
Wu Peifu turned around and glanced at Zhang Zuolin and Zhang Xiaozi in surprise, then waved his hand and said: "Eat! Eat!" He knew this was impossible, so he didn't mention it.
Han Baihang was already in a cold sweat at this time. The two commanders were fighting together, but he was caught in the middle and couldn't move. The feeling was really uncomfortable. After finally taking a breath and eating, he quickly breathed a deep sigh of relief.
After a while, the dinner table started talking about how to deal with Feng Yuxiang next.xdw8
Feng Yuxiang used to be Yushuai's subordinate, but in the last Zhifeng war, he betrayed Yushuai at the most critical moment, which directly led to Yushuai's defeat. Of course Wu Peifu hated him to the bone, and he must fight them with all his strength.
Annihilate.
Zhang Zuolin and Marshal Zhang also meant the same thing. Although Feng Yuxiang's defection in the last Zhili-Fengtian war helped him a lot, Feng Yuxiang's purpose was not for Fengtian, but for himself to control Peiping. Even when Guo Songling rebelled later, Feng Yuxiang
He also took advantage of the war in the Feng Clan to take advantage of it. If Zhang Xueliang hadn't personally stood up to fight against him, he might have taken advantage of the Feng Clan. This time too, in order to stab the Feng Clan again, he killed Xu Shuzheng and attacked Peking.
Zhang Zuolin couldn't tolerate a single thing.
The most important thing is that Feng Yuxiang is a traitor under Zhili Yushuai. Yushuai's attitude has been very clear. He must not have the slightest intention to protect him. Otherwise, I am afraid that the two sides will fall out on the spot. Therefore, Zhang Zuolin
Marshal Zhang's attitude was also extremely resolute, he must annihilate all Feng Yuxiang, leaving no one behind.
Zhang Xueliang saw everything in his eyes, and he did not agree with the decision of Wu Peifu and his father at all. The reason was very simple, people would die in war, Feng Yuxiang could not afford to be injured, and the Feng clan could not afford to be injured even more.
The Feng Clan had just experienced the Guo Songling incident and had just neutralized the attack by Sun Chuanfang's five-province coalition. Now it was time to recuperate. At this time, sending troops to Peking to fight against Feng Yuxiang was a last resort. If it really happened, the Feng Clan would be defeated.
It is also at stake.
What's more, what is the purpose of the alliance between Zhizhi and Fengxiang? On the surface, it is to deal with Feng Yuxiang, but in fact it is to guard against the revolutionary forces in the south. But at this time, using up manpower and material resources to eliminate Feng Yuxiang, doesn't it also weaken its own strength?
If the revolutionary forces in the south take the opportunity to invade, will the Zhifeng and Feng families still have the strength to fight against them?
This is what Zhang Xueliang is worried about, and it has nothing to do with personal emotions. Seeing that Wu Peifu and his father had such a firm attitude, Zhang Xueliang wanted to say it, but he opened his mouth and let it go. Because he knew that he said this
, inappropriate!
There was only one person on the scene who could say such a thing, and that was Han Baihang. Zhang Xueliang secretly stretched out his foot to kick Han Baihang and winked. How could Han Baihang not understand? He immediately pretended to be embarrassed, as if he had something to say,
But I don’t know what to say.
Zhang Zuolin, Marshal Zhang and Marshal Wu Peifu were in unison and were angrily denouncing Feng Yuxiang. The two of them didn't even look here. Upon seeing this, Zhang Xueliang quickly looked at Han Baihang and said: "Brother Baihang, look at you, it's your body
Are you uncomfortable, or do you have anything you want to say?"
As soon as Zhang Xueliang spoke, the eyes of Jade Commander Wu Peifu and Zhang Zuolin were drawn to Han Baihang. Han Baihang quickly said: "Thank you Han Qing for your concern, I am not feeling uncomfortable!"
Zhang Xueliang said: "Oh? Then you have something to say! Anyway, the people sitting here are not outsiders. If you have anything to say, feel free to say it. If there is any difficulty, the two commanders will make the decision for you!"
Zhang Zuolin also continued: "Yes, Liu Zi said it right! Baihang, if you have anything to say, just say it. We are all a family. If you have anything to do, I will make the decision for you. If I can't make the decision, isn't there still Yu Shuai?
Well! Say it!”
Han Baihang then pretended to be embarrassed and said: "Shuai Yu, Marshal Yu, I do have something to say, but it is not my business. Just now the two marshals decided to annihilate Feng Yuxiang, but my subordinates have different opinions. I don't know what to say.
It should be said that I am in a dilemma now, for fear of spoiling the interest of the two seniors!"
Zhang Zuolin took a breath and said: "Hai! I thought you encountered some difficulties that couldn't be solved. Isn't it just this? We are all our own people. If you have anything to say, just say it! Although we two brothers are a bit old,
Yes, but I’m still not confused. As long as it’s for the sake of our two families, I can say anything! Not only do you want to say it, but you also need to say more. Sometimes young people’s ideas are more thoughtful than ours. What do you think, Brother Wu?
"Zhang Zuolin turned back to seek Wu Peifu's opinion.
Wu Peifu also said: "Yes! You two outstanding young heroes are sitting here. Of course, you should listen to your opinions! After all, this world belongs to you young people. If you have anything to say, just say it without telling anyone!"
