"Bastard!"

Zhang Zuolin slapped on the table and scolded angrily: "Mom, this little Japanese cub really plays Lao Tzu as a monkey!" ”

Just after the Jinan tragedy, what the Japanese army did gave Zhang Zuolin hope. In order to gain the help of the Japanese, he finally agreed to make the private traitorous agreement officially become an open agreement between the two countries.

Zhang Zuolin didn't want to be infamous as a traitor, so he asked Chang Yinhuai, the acting chief of transportation, to sign. Chang Yinhuai refused to sign the traitorous contract, and resigned directly and went to Tianjin to work as a duke.

Zhang Zuolin asked Liu Jingshan, the secretary for highways, to sign, but Liu Jingshan did not do it, and also resigned and left. Zhang Zuolin immediately appointed Zhao Zhen, director of the Aviation Administration, as the deputy minister of transportation, and acted as the agent of the Ministry of Communications, signing and sealing the contracts of Duntu and Changchang.

The Japanese were afraid that Zhang Zuolin would regret it, so they had to ask him to sign it in person.

Zhang Zuolin had to sign the remaining three-way contract, but only wrote the words "read, quasi-line", and did not write the date and name, so as to facilitate regret and not admit the account in the future.

Before Zhang Zuolin could be happy, the Japanese side suddenly sent a warning letter to the governments of Beiping and Nanjing. The general content is that the Japanese army will prevent the fighting in Beiping from taking place in order to prevent the riots from spreading to the northeast. If Zhang Zuolin evacuates from Beiping peacefully, ensures the discipline of the soldiers, and is not pursued by the Northern Expeditionary Army, the Japanese side will allow the Feng army to enter the northeast. However, if the north and the south fight in Beiping and the Feng army retreats to Shanhaiguan or the area of interest to the Japanese side, then the Japanese side will prevent the Feng army and the Northern Expeditionary Army from entering the northeast.

This is a joke, Zhang Zuolin regards the Northeast as his nest, and now the Japanese not only do not help him fight, but may prevent him from returning to his hometown.

"Yu Shuai is angry," Yang Yuting persuaded, "For today's plan, only before the southern thieves attack Beiping, we will take the lead in withdrawing our troops, so as not to leave an excuse for the Japanese army to act." ”

"Mom," Zhang Zuolin touched his shiny forehead and said angrily, "Lao Tzu has betrayed the country and sold it now, this damn little Japan, not only does not help, but also occupies my nest!" ”

"If you seek skin with a tiger, you will inevitably be bitten by a tiger," Yang Yuting sighed, "Yu Shuai, hurry up and make a decision." ”

Zhang Zuolin called his herald: "Call all the ministers and the six sons back, Lao Tzu wants to have a meeting!" ”

……

At the end of May, Huai Ren Tang.

Zhang Zuolin, Zhang Zuoxiang, Sun Chuanfang, Yang Yuting, Zhang Xueliang and other senior Beiyang generals gathered together and began to analyze the situation and discuss solutions.

"Retreat, go back to your hometown." Zhang Zuoxiang said helplessly.

Sun Chuanfang's eyes were bloodshot, and he roared: "You can't retreat, if you retreat, there will be no future!" Yu Shuai, allocate some money, food and ammunition to me, as long as my grandson is on the front line, it will be impossible for the southern thieves to capture Pingjin! ”

Zhang Zuolin soothed: "Xinyuan, don't get excited. Take a sip of tea to moisten your throat first, you look at you, your voice is hissed. ”

"Yu Shuai, I really can't retreat!" Sun Chuanfang pleaded.

Yang Yuting rolled his eyes and said angrily: "How can you fight if you don't return it?" Would you please curse the other side? ”

Sun Chuanfang slapped the table angrily: "The surname is Yang, you don't have a good heart!" also calls himself Xiao Zhuge , I haven't seen you such a useless Zhuge Liang! ”

"The surname is Sun, you have a clean mouth!" Yang Yuting was so angry that he went back.

"Okay, okay," Zhang Zuolin persuaded with a smile, "This battle, I can't fight now." Let's go to the Northeast for two years, and wait for the Central Plains to make trouble again, and we can fight back. ”

Sun Chuanfang clenched his hands and fists, wanting to speak, but he wanted to stop talking, he felt aggrieved.

To this day, Sun Chuanfang's territory in the five provinces has been lost, and only 20,000 or 30,000 remnants of the hundreds of thousands of troops remain. If he really retreated to the northeast with Fengjun, he would completely fall under Zhang Zuolin in the future.

And what about Zhang Zuolin?

It's funny to say, after nearly two years of fighting, the Fengjun lineage basically didn't have any big losses. Those who died were all Fengjun's miscellaneous cards (Zhang Zongchang and Chu Yupu's Zhilu coalition army), as well as Sun Chuanfang and Wu Peifu's people.

Zhang Zuolin is like a gambler, his capital is still in his hands, and what he loses is won on the card table, and now he can come and go freely when he returns to the Northeast.

Zhang Zuolin can retreat, but Sun Chuanfang can't, but the situation is pressing, and he can't help but not retreat.

Sun Chuanfang stopped talking, stared at the ceiling with blank eyes, and let the generals discuss the retreat plan.

At the end of the meeting, Sun Chuanfang left Huairentang in a trance like a walking corpse.

Zhang Xueliang walked up to Zhang Zuolin and said in a low voice: "Father, beware of the Japanese when retreating, they may be unfavorable to you." ”

"Of course I have to be careful, mom, little Japan almost pointed a gun at my nose." Zhang Zuolin said angrily.

As early as a month ago, the headquarters of the Kwantung Army was transferred from Lushun to Mukden, and the Japanese army in the entire northeast had entered a state of combat readiness.

It is impossible for Zhang Zuolin not to know these actions of the Japanese army. He, an old bandit, still spared his life and prepared several retreat plans, just to confuse the Japanese spies.

The next day, Zhang Zuolin telegraphed and issued a "general retreat order", ordering the Beiyang soldiers on the front line to retreat.

Zhang Zongchang and Chu Yupu don't want to withdraw, one of them is in Shandong and the other is in Hebei. is similar to Sun Chuanfang's situation, as long as he retreats to the northeast, he will completely become Zhang Zuolin's subordinates, without any freedom at all, and it is even possible that even the troops will be swallowed up.

Chu Yupu stood next to him and watched Zhang Zongchang make a phone call.

Zhang Zongchang hugged the telephone and begged: "Yushuai, you can't retreat." I still have 50,000 people here, and I can still fight, I call you my father, I really can't retreat! ”

"Retreat, save your strength." Zhang Zuolin hung up after speaking.

"Save you paralysis!" Zhang Zongchang was so angry that he smashed the phone to pieces.

Chu Yupu opened the military map, sat on the table, smoked a cigarette and said, "What should I do?" ”

"What else can I do?" Zhang Zongchang didn't have a good air, "Retreat, retreat to the northeast and be a dog for Zhang Zuolin!" ”

Chu Yupu said with a hideous face: "I still want to fight, until the last soldier dies!" Lao Tzu has only been an overseer for two years, and he hasn't had enough time yet, so he can't just hand over the territory. ”

"Let's fight!" Zhang Zongchang said, "Those bastards in the south, if they want to drive our brothers away, they have to pay a price!" ”

"Okay, then fight." Chu Yufeng said sharply.

Even if they wanted to retreat, it was not so easy to retreat. Because the battle line was surrounded on both sides, once something went wrong during the retreat, it was almost the end of the rout of the whole army.

The next day, Chu Yupu had just finished the battle deployment, and Chu Nanxiang suddenly rushed in and said, "Commander, Zhang Zongchang left the troops and ran away." ”

Chu Yupu was stunned for a while, and finally held back a few words: "Zhang Zongchang, my ancestor is your ancestor!" ”
