When Guo Songling heard the military attache's report on the young marshal's excuse for going to Fengtian to move reinforcements, he rolled his eyes angrily. He said in his heart: "These father and son are indeed more thieves than the other!" I have to admit that I underestimated him, the nominally 'best student'. But Guo Songling couldn't give any excuse. Not only could she not say it, but she also pretended to be grateful and expressed her gratitude to Zhang Xueliang for running for him. I am so touched by your sister! This bastard boy has definitely given up and left! Guo Songling is like a mute who eats coptis and feels unspeakable pain. But Zhang Xueliang's excuse was also extremely strong. Working for the teacher was what he should do as a student. Guo Songling had a vague feeling. Ever since Zhang Xueliang read a few crooked books with Xu Shichang, he had learned to obey the rules and violate the rules. It turns out that this is such an honest and good boy! What about now? "The face-saving skills of respecting teachers and moral principles are perfect, but to what extent does Zhang Xueliang respect Guo Songling?" It's really hard to say. Zhang Xueliang knew this, and Guo Songling also had some guesses. The reason why Zhang Xueliang treated Guo Songling favorably was because he regarded Guo Songling as a role model. In Fengjun, except for the young and strong faction who have not yet risen, they are basically Zhang Xueliang's elders. If people are criticized for respecting their elders, it will easily arouse the resentment of the real power faction in Fengjun. And the benefit of respecting teachers and teachings can make these elders have a good impression of him, which is enough. But it is undeniable that Guo Songling is capable and a good fighter, at least much better than Zhang Xueliang. But in the final analysis, his role is not to conquer the city for the Feng army (Zhang Zuolin did not rise to fame by relying on invincibility on the battlefield. He met noble people. In politics, luck is more important than strength most of the time), but a Pretense. It is the same as the flagpole erected by Shang Yang in Xianyang City. "Guo Songling is not stupid, and is very smart. Of course he can understand Zhang Xueliang's little calculation. It is precisely because he knows in his heart that he is frustrated and complains about Zhang Xueliang's other teacher: There is no good scholar, and he is full of tricks How can a good middle-aged young man turn into a filial son and a virtuous grandson? ? In the end, Guo Songling could only blame Xu Shichang for his grievances. Anyway, he did not dare to point his nose at Xu Shichang and scold him. Although Xu Shichang is a politician who has gone out of office, Xu Shichang is the former president of the Republic of China after all, and his face is the one who can be printed on banknotes. No matter how arrogant Guo Songling is, she does not dare to be angry with this old man. Compared with this old man's status in the political arena of the Republic of China, he is not in the mainstream. The gap between him is at least the distance between the Zhang family and his son. Besides, Xu Shichang also has another identity: he is Zhang Zuolin's benefactor. Zhang Zuolin's prosperity has a lot to do with his being appreciated and promoted by Xu Shichang. Not only Zhang Zuolin recognized this identity, but also the old guys in Fengjun recognized him. If Guo Songling is disrespectful to Mr. Xu, not only the generals of Fengjun will be offended, but also Zhang Zuolin will be angry. ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Almost watched the disciples he trained with his own hands being snatched away, but Guo Songling had no way to do anything about it, how could he not be upset? Fortunately, Xu Shichang didn't like Fengjun as a "bandit den". After spending half a year in Fengtian, he said goodbye and returned to Tianjin to write a book. If Tianjin were not in the hands of the Zhili Clan, Zhang Zuolin would have liked to send Xu Shichang back to Tianjin directly. But for Zhang Zuolin, the appearance of Xu Shichang was not only his benefactor, but the fact that this politician with countless brilliance in the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China could nod his head to recognize Zhang Xueliang as his disciple was definitely a blessing to the Zhang family and his son. Reinvention. Zhang Zuolin was originally worried about his son's unstable foundation in the army. Although he was overjoyed with a successful retreat and gave his son countless auras, how much ability does his 'little six son' have as a father? Could Zhang Zuolin not be clear? If the old brothers don't recognize his son, everything will be in vain. In terms of talent, he is only above average, and in terms of ability, he cannot shake the status of the Fengjun veterans, and it is difficult to win their trust. Except for a few old ministers who were too close to Zhang Xueliang for Zhang Zuolin's sake, Zhang Zuolin knew very well what other people thought of Zhang Xueliang. It is difficult for Zhang Xueliang to take over his class. But with Xu Shichang¡¯s nod, things were different after Zhang Xueliang became Xu Shichang¡¯s disciple. The attitude of the old brothers has obviously changed. The old officials who served in the army, namely Zhang Zuolin's brothers, said that they were born bandits, and they were not unfairly accused at all. If it hadn't been for Xu Shichang, what would these people, including Zhang Zuolin, have been doing in a daze collecting protection money? It was precisely because of being recruited that he had an official status. But status also depends on the rank. Without Xu Shichang, most of them would be unworthy mountain patrols and frontier troops. In a large group of people, not even a general could emerge. Just like the little monster patrolling the mountains in "Journey to the West"?Similarly, although it is an extremely powerful being in the eyes of ordinary people, the end result is that Hui Hui will die just to get a stick from a monkey. He doesn't even have a name. It would be kind to let him scream twice when he is about to die. And Xu Shichang promoted Zhang Zuolin, which was equivalent to the disciples recognized by the gods and Buddhas in the sky, and the big bosses in the heaven, and their status was suddenly different. This kind of kindness should not only be recognized by Zhang Zuolin, but also appreciated. Even the veterans of the Fengjun army must recognize him and be grateful. In addition, Xu Shichang also has an identity that makes the veterans of Fengjun dare not even breathe loudly in front of him. They have already become bandits, and there is basically no hope of being knowledgeable and sensible. A scholarly family cannot produce a hero. "But under China's strong ethical system, even the rude people's respect for scholars and knowledge is difficult for people from other cultures to understand. For example, Song Jiang in "Water Margin", did he rely on his own little tricks to win the respect of the heroes? no! Song Jiang¡¯s status in the world is entirely due to his status as a scholar. But Song Jiang's status as a scholar was also low-class. He was not even an official, he could only be a petty official. But what is Xu Shichang¡¯s identity? Hanlin. Even scholars have to look up to him, but to be honest, this group of people would roll their eyes, bite their fingers, and hesitate for a long time while dictating a family letter. How dare they be disrespectful to the Hanlin master who has descended to earth as "Wenquxing" ! It was so outrageous that Especially when this Hanlin master still regarded him as a human being, I shed tears of gratitude, it was simply the rebirth of kindness. Even a wagging tail cannot fully express the excitement inside. With the friendship foundation laid by Xu Shichang, Zhang Xueliang no longer needs to prove his ability excessively on the battlefield. At least this is true for the Zhang family and his son. Zhang Xueliang is recognized by the old ministers. At the same time, as the soul of the Young Masters and the successor of the commander-in-chief, his status is already very stable. Guo Songling no longer needs help on the battlefield to improve his status among Fengjun's top brass. Perhaps it was because Zhang Xueliang had more choices that made Guo Songling more nervous and perverse. He may also be worried that one day his status will plummet in Zhang Xueliang's eyes. Years of dedicated teaching could not compare to the attitude of a outdated old politician, which made Guo Songling very dissatisfied. This dissatisfaction could not be directed at the Zhang family and his son. It was only on the battlefield that Guo Songling established his status in the army. Vanity Fair. It is for this reason that he wants to defeat Wu Peifu more than ever, thus establishing his superhuman status as the 'God of War' among the Fengjun. This is his plan and his only expectation. Unfortunately, Zhang Xueliang did not cooperate. Zhang Xueliang, who returned to Fengtian, got off the train and rushed back to the Marshal's Mansion. The father is playing mahjong at home. Good guy, a lot of people are joining in the fun. When they saw Zhang Xueliang returning home, they dispersed, and the only ones left behind were all high-ranking figures in the Feng army. Zhang Zuolin pushed the money in front of him on the table, terminated the previous entertainment activities, and said with a smile: "That's it for today, we will play another day." The father and son came to the study, and the smile on Zhang Zuolin's face gradually faded. He looked at his son a little uneasily. It has to be said that the young Zhang Xueliang no longer has the traces of the eight generations of the old Zhang family¡¯s ancestors. Zhang Zuolin was very pleased with his elegant and noble demeanor: "Han Qing, aren't you on the front line? Why are you back? What happened?" Zhang Xueliang hesitated, not daring to look at Zhang Zuolin. After all, he was just escaping from the front line, making a mistake, rather than returning with a great victory and giving Lao Zhang some face. The latter mused: "You and I are father and son. We are talking behind closed doors now, so what is there to worry about?" Zhang Xueliang breathed a sigh of relief, with a confused look in his eyes: "Father, I am a little worried." "Worried?" Zhang Zuolin is not tall, but he has sharp eyebrows and starry eyes. He has been in a high position for many years, and his temperament cannot be underestimated: "These three eastern provinces are owned by my father and son, so what else is there to worry about? " "It's the front line" Zhang Xueliang was still a little hesitant and didn't dare to speak clearly. After all, it was his suspicion. He felt that there might be a conspiracy in the immediate circle, but he couldn't see through this conspiracy, and neither could Guo Songling. Thinking of Wu Peifu, Zhang Zuolin, even though he was extremely heroic, had a moment of wilting. He was also at a loss to deal with 'Yu Shuai', the mainstay of the direct line. After thinking about it, his heart suddenly brightened: "Old thief Wu still has two things in his hands." I haven't beaten him this time. Don't worry next time, as long as there are no losses in the army. Don't worry, the Japanese are more anxious than us. Let's rest for two days and recuperate. Keep your spirits up, little Liuzi, take care of yourself."It's just empty" Now that it's like this, what else can Zhang Xueliang do? Just run away. Come on, Zhang Dashuai is definitely a kind-hearted master. Zhang Xueliang feels that the style of painting is very wrong, and his father is too unambitious. ! Before the victory was decided, the frontline began to wonder what to do after losing the battle. Is it his luck or his misfortune to have such a low-demanding father who always finds steps for himself? It was quite hopeless, and the consecutive defeats at the hands of Wu Peifu, and another inexplicable defeat, made the Northeast King inevitably feel a little shadowy. How can I say that it has reached the level of defeat? Victory is the point where the ancestors show up. Think about it. Was Duan Qirui powerful back then? Was the Anhui army equipped with more than 300,000 troops? But what about Wu Peifu? With the main force of the Baoding faction, the force was less than half that of the Anhui faction, but Duan Qirui was trapped to death. Not to mention anything else, Duan Qirui's backstage was also Japanese! In fact, it also helped the Anhui Clique and blocked the Zhili Clique's pioneers who had broken through the Ping-Tianjin Railway. However, in the end, it was still unable to save the Anhui Clique's defeat. Zhang Zuolin was a very tolerant leader, perhaps because of his grassroots background. , He has his own theory. It's a good thing, he's lucky. But if he doesn't, he won't be discouraged, no! Fengjun has expanded from 20 brigades to nearly 70 brigades today. The military strength is only three to five thousand, and the total strength is only more than 200,000. But even so, the three eastern provinces of the Zhang family cannot have such a large war potential within two years. The key is that the Japanese are behind it. It can be said that the Japanese cabinet once regarded supporting Zhang Zuolin as a basic national policy. This shows how powerful Zhang Zuolin was, so he was not in a hurry at all. As long as he retained his troops, it would not matter if he lost the war, and he could still be confident and peaceful. The Japanese said: You see, this small number of troops is still of no use. We need to expand the army and need equipment As long as we don't talk about the issue of Guandong Province and give the Japanese some small benefits, Zhang Zuolin can get a lot of aid in exchange. Why not? What? When the Japanese were plotting against Zhang Zuolin, why didn't Zhang Zuolin plot against the Japanese? But even the scheming Zhang Zuolin understood the truth. The only way to become a king is to accumulate food and become king slowly. When the strength is still weak, , all strategies are in vain. The current situation cannot be said to be good or bad. Even if the Fengjun frontline does not act, Zhang Zuolin still needs to show a proactive attitude by inviting Japanese advisers to hold a combat meeting in Fengtian. This is the best way to save trouble and dispel the suspicions of the Japanese. While Zhang Zuolin was preparing for the Fengjun high-level combat meeting in Fengtian, the biggest battle occurred in Yuguan, where the Zhili and Fengjun were fighting fiercely. A battle of scale. The battle for the front line of Jiumenmen began. Guo Songling ignored the advice of the chief of staff and repeatedly deployed troops to pretend to attack the direct positions. With the slight advantage in artillery, the disadvantages of the terrain were offset a lot. However, the Third Army captured Jiumen Gate within two days of fighting at the cost of 5,000 casualties. But the battle was not over yet. Wu Peifu had a good set of cards in his hand, but he unexpectedly threw out a king bomb. ¡°This is a handicap in Go, which is equivalent to letting Guo Songling see the old bottom. This caught both sides off guard. On the direct side, at least the frontline generals believed that the Third Division entered the battlefield too early and exposed its own strength. There was no need for the Third Division to take action to recapture the Nine Gates. But Guo Songling was in trouble. He found that he had used all his strength, but still couldn't reach Wu Peifu, a big mountain. Guo Songling, who has an arrogant personality, decided to make a desperate move. The doctrine he fought was the most elite division on the front line, the Fourth Division of the Fengjun Army. This unit originally had a more resounding title, the Marshal's Guards Brigade. Its status was equivalent to Cao Kun's Presidential Guards Brigade, the ace among Fengjun's aces. This is Zhang Xueliang's biggest trump card in the military, and Guo Songling decided to turn over this trump card and play it out!
