After a bumpy journey, Wu Peifu finally arrived in Luoyang without any danger, but there were only a few people around him at this time.
Zhang Zuolin was extremely happy when he learned that Wu Peifu had been defeated in Luoyang and had only 10,000 people around him. This showed that no matter how capable Wu Peifu was, he would not be able to make a comeback in a short time. The war between Zhili and Fengtian had finally come to an end.
, I can also reap the fruits of my victory safely.
But even if Wu Peifu has collapsed and Cao Kun has been imprisoned, Peking is not just what he says. Those who share the fruits of victory with him are not only Feng Yuxiang who made great achievements in turning back the enemy, but also Duan Qirui.
Old fox, how to distribute it will still be a big problem.
Although Peiping is still under Feng Yuxiang's control, for Feng Yuxiang, Peiping is definitely not a stable place, but a hot potato. Although he currently controls everything in Peiping, he only has a limited number of troops.
At present, Zhang Zuolin and Zhang Xueliang's troops are gathering towards Peiping. This intention is so obvious.
Furthermore, when I took Zhang Zuolin's 1.4 million yuan, I was destined that the regime in Peking had little to do with me.
Who was the biggest winner in the Zhi-Feng war? One was the Feng-clan warlord Zhang Zuolin, the northeastern king, and the other was the Anhui-clan warlord Duan Qirui. Now Wu Peifu fled south to Luoyang, and Cao Kun was trapped in Zhongnanhai, Peiping. Things in Peiping are basically
Zhang Zuolin and Duan Qirui have the final say, but Feng Yuxiang has no say.
At this time when Peiping didn't know where to return, Zhang Zuolin had already entered Beijing ahead of other warlords.
Logically speaking, the Zhili clique warlords in Peiping were defeated by the Feng clique warlords with Zhang Zuolin as the main force. Therefore, there is no problem for the Feng clique troops to enter Peiping. However, in terms of the system of the Republic of China, this Peiping is everyone's Peiping, and Peiping is the Republic.
In Peiping, even if Zhang Zuolin defeated Wu Peifu and Cao Kun, how could he monopolize Peiping and dominate the world?
Not to mention others, even the Anhui warlord Duan Qirui could not allow Zhang Zuolin's Fengjun to dominate and occupy Peiping and accept the fruits of victory alone. Besides, the reason for this battle was not to be dissatisfied with the government of Cao Kun and Wu Peifu. Since
Now that the government has been overthrown, the next question is who will form the new government.
But these issues are not issues that Zhang Xueliang should consider. He is still on the way to Peking. Ever since Han Baihang let Wu Peifu go, Zhang Xueliang's attitude towards Han Baihang has become cold. This kind of coldness is very subtle, and it is not always the case.
Paying heed to it does not mean dismissing Han Baihang from his position, but disappearing.
Regarding the task of cleaning up the battlefield along the way, Zhang Xueliang also intentionally assigned part of it to Han Baihang. Regarding the expansion and reorganization of the troops, Zhang Xueliang also gave Han Baihang free rights and allowed him to control it himself. But from beginning to end, these orders were
Zhang Xueliang's guards conveyed this to Han Baihang. Han Baihang has not seen Zhang Xueliang's face since he last met Zhang Xueliang when he let Wu Peifu go.
On this day, when Guo Songlin saw Zhang Xueliang's frown, he knew it was because of Han Baihang's matter, so he stepped forward and asked: "Liu Zi, I see you have been depressed since Wu Peifu escaped last time, and are you still angry with Han Baihang?
"
Zhang Xueliang held his forehead with one hand, sat on a chair, leaned half of his body on the table next to him, and said slowly: "Isn't that right? It's fine now. Wu Peifu has escaped. What should I do with Han Baihang? Not killing him is not enough.
According to military law, it would be a pity to kill him, so wouldn’t all my efforts be in vain?"
Guo Songlin picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip, then put the teacup on his right hand and said, "Okay now, Han Baihang has become a hot potato, but to be honest, I do have some abilities.
But……"
Zhang Xueliang raised his head, looked at Guo Songlin's face from under his hand holding his forehead, and asked: "What do you think? Mao Chen?"
Guo Songlin played with the tea cup with one hand, frowned and thought for a moment, then said: "This incompetent person can't play a big role under his command, but once the reins in his hands are broken, he can't escape.
But if this powerful person fails to use it properly... the consequences will be disastrous!"
Zhang Xueliang put down his hands, stood up from where he was leaning, looked at Guo Songlin and said, "Do you think someone like Han Baihang would also..."
Zhang Xueliang didn't finish what he said, but everyone knew what it meant. Guo Songlin looked at Zhang Xueliang's nervous look and laughed and said: "Sixth son, I didn't say it, but to be honest, do you think this is a good thing in terms of military ability?"
How does Han Baihang compare with you?"
When Zhang Xueliang heard that Guo Songlin denied his guess, he breathed a sigh of relief. He turned back and leaned on the chair to think carefully, and slowly said a few words: "Not under me!"
Guo Songlin looked at Zhang Xueliang's serious thinking expression and knew that these words came out at the end. He laughed hahaha. This laugh actually confused Zhang Xueliang.
Guo Songlin said slowly: "Sixth Son, it is not easy for people in high positions to admit that others are better than themselves. Look at your expression just now. Do you think it is embarrassing to say that Han Baihang is better than you in fighting?
Thing? That’s right!”
Guo Songlin took a sip of tea and continued: "A general does not necessarily have to be better than his subordinates in all aspects, and being able to see and have the courage to admit the shining points of his subordinates is a rare thing, and it is also a leader who can succeed.
The premise is that it doesn’t matter if your subordinates are better than you. The most important thing is how you control these soldiers under you. This is what you should consider!"
Zhang Xueliang said: "Maochen, what do you think of Han Baihang?"
Guo Songlin sighed and said: "The general of the military is a hero among men!"
Zhang Xueliang was shocked. He had never seen Guo Songlin speak so highly of anyone. You must know that when Guo Songlin was his teacher, he was quite strict. There was no need to reward merit, but mistakes must be rewarded.
Punishment, when every student met Guo Songlin, it was like meeting the King of Hell. No one was afraid of him. Even such an outstanding Zhang Xueliang himself never received such high praise from Guo Songlin.
But for Han Baihang, Guo Songlin actually said this.
