Looking at Han Baihang's calm face, Zhang Xueliang didn't know what he should say. If other generals dared to do such a thing, he, Zhang Xueliang, would dare to punish Han Baihang on the spot without doing anything. But for Han Baihang, he was really determined.
Don't take your hands off.
First of all, Han Baihang is really a rare military genius. It took him so much effort to get him to join his subordinates. Secondly, he can more or less understand Han Baihang's behavior. After all, he is his benefactor.
His senior officer for many years would not be able to do anything to him no matter who he was. If it were Zhang Xueliang, he believed that he might do the same thing.
But no matter what, soldiers should obey orders. Since Han Baihang has become an officer of Fengjun, Fengjun's military orders are above all else. But when he let Wu Peifu go, there was no difference in collaborating with the enemy. For a while, Zhang Xueliang didn't
Know what to do.
He didn't have time to deal with Han Baihang. At this time, catching up with Wu Peifu was the top priority, so he bypassed Han Baihang and led his men to pursue Wu Peifu in the direction where he escaped.
During the dispute and confrontation between Han Baihang and Zhang Xueliang, Wu Peifu and his men had already seized the opportunity and slipped out early. In the vast night, they were like fish slipping into the water one after another, almost
It's impossible to catch.
Since Wu Peifu had the courage to attack Peiping, he was naturally prepared for the follow-up. Although his plan was completely shattered, he managed to escape without any danger. Of course, all this was done with Han Baihang's help.
.
Wu Peifu himself knew that he had taken advantage of Han Baihang, but he had no choice. When his life was threatened, he had only this option. This was the best situation he could see.
As long as the obstacle of Centipede Ridge is crossed, everything will be easy to handle. Now Wu Peifu is like a dragon above the sky and a fish in the water, completely free. He has absolute control over the terrain that he has already surveyed.
I am confident that Zhang Xueliang cannot catch up with him.
Coupled with the fact that he had already arranged the support when he set off, he was confident that he would be able to return to Tianjin before dawn and completely escape the danger of Fengjun.
Although Wu Peifu said that he was no longer in danger, he was not so happy. He had some worries in his heart. These worries were not for himself and his men, but for Han Baihang. He also knew how much Han Baihang had to let him go.
Dangerous behavior, this is considered a collaboration with the enemy in any team, and it is enough to be shot.
He knew that Han Baihang was using this method to repay him, but he couldn't do anything. He could only hope that the Fengtian side would deal with this matter rationally and remove Han Baihang from his post. As long as he didn't kill Han Baihang.
Just fine.
Zhang Xueliang led his men and chased them for five or six miles. Except for the autumn wind, wild grass and dark night, they did not find any enemies. Zhang Xueliang was furious. This was really a great shame. Wu Peifu, who had obtained it, flew away like this.
How will I explain when I get back?
They continued to chase for several miles, and as soon as it was daylight, there was still no trace of Wu Peifu at all. Zhang Xueliang knew that there was no hope at all, so he had no choice but to withdraw his troops and return home.
Compared to Zhang Xueliang's extreme anger, Han Baihang seemed very calm.
Regarding what he has done, Han Baihang has nothing to deny, and he does not want to deny it, but for everything that is coming, Han Baihang has nothing to be afraid of. If he dares to do it, there is nothing he dares not to take on.
To be honest, as a general of Fengjun, since he has been recruited by Zhang Xueliang, he should fight for Fengjun as a matter of course. However, he also said when he was recruited that it was impossible for him to go to war with Marshal Wu.
When he came back, even without this article, he would not be able to confront his old commander tit for tat.
When Zhang Xueliang returned with his army, it was already broad daylight.
He did not go back to his military camp to rest, but went straight to Han Baihang's military camp. At this time, Han Baihang had also returned with his troops. Zhang Xueliang's first words when he entered the door was to shout to Han Baihang: "Say, you...
Why did you let me let Wu Peifu go?"
Han Baihang slowly stood up from his position, looked at Zhang Xueliang's furious expression, and said: "Commander Zhang, it is impossible for me to shoot at my old commander!"
Zhang Xueliang roared: "Then can you ignore my military discipline?"
Han Baihang said: "Commander Zhang, I am not ignoring military discipline. Do you still remember that when I agreed to surrender to you, Commander Zhang, we made a three-part agreement, one of which was that I would not shoot at Marshal Wu. As a soldier,
, Such a request is really too much, but as a person, what’s wrong with me doing this?”
Only then did Zhang Xueliang remember the gentleman's agreement he had made with Han Baihang. The first clause was that Han Baihang would be under the direct control of Zhang Xueliang, the second clause was to give Han Baihang the right to form his own army, and the third clause was that Han Baihang could not report to Han Baihang under any circumstances.
Wu Peifu went to war.
Zhang Xueliang thought of these three points and knew that if he wanted to keep his promise, there was nothing he could do with Han Baihang. In addition, he admired Han Baihang's military ability and he loved money as much as his life. He took off his military cap and threw it in the
On the table, Aiya sighed, and then led his subordinates away without saying a word.
Han Baihang didn't expect that Zhang Xueliang would let him go so easily just by mentioning the original agreement. If it were anyone else, even if the two of them had a huge agreement, they would have gotten into such a big trouble anyway.
It is impossible to let him go. From this point of view, Zhang Xueliang is really a gentleman.
Zhang Xueliang himself had already thought about it. He only asked himself one question, that is, if he really wanted to kill Han Baihang, could he do it? No matter how Zhang Xueliang tried to comfort himself from that aspect, the result he got was
Surprisingly unanimous, no!
Since he didn't want to kill Han Baihang and couldn't kill Han Baihang, he could only find a step for himself, and the original gentleman's agreement was the step that Zhang Xueliang found for himself.
There is an advantage to this step. Not only did he give himself a reason to forgive Han Baihang, but he also established an image of himself as keeping his word to the world, letting others know that he, Zhang Xueliang, would definitely stick to what he said, no matter what the situation.
