When the marshals meet, they must not only compare their official ranks, but also compare their qualifications.

The five people present, whether it is age or seniority, Lu Yongxiang can be said to be the oldest, he is an old man from Beiyang who is the same age as Wu Peifu, and he is also an army general, and Su Wan Xuanfu envoy, and his official rank is also the largest.

Next is Chen Zikun, he is an army general, Jiangdong Provincial Military Affairs Supervisor, and it is rumored that he will concurrently serve as the deputy minister of the army when he enters Beijing this time, so he is not comparable to Lu Yongxiang, and the gap is only in age and seniority.

Then there is Zhang Zongchang, who is more than ten years older than Chen Zikun, and debuted earlier, he was a brigade commander in the early years of the Republic of China, and a military attache in the presidential palace. But he hasn't grown much, when he joined the Feng Army two years ago, he even served as the commander of the military police battalion, and now he is just a military commander, and his name is Lu Yongxiang's Xuanfu Army.

Further down is Zhang Xueliang, he is the same age as Chen Zikun, he was a lieutenant general two years earlier, but Chen Zikun is his own military exploits with a knife and a gun, but he relies on his identity as a young marshal.

As for Lu Xiaojia, he doesn't even have a military position, he is completely a foil.

Chen Zikun first saluted Lu Yongxiang: "Xuanfu envoy, I have admired the name for a long time, and I can see it today, Huwei really deserves its name." ”

Lu Yongxiang's face smiled like a flower, but he was secretly scolding in his heart, a few months ago, Chen Zikun was still the main force against Lu, but today he has become a friendly army, which is really a trick.

"Kun Shuai is really young and promising, he looks about the same age as the dog." Lu Yongxiang said with a smile.

Chen Zikun was unhappy in his heart, but he didn't get mad on the spot, and shook hands with Zhang Xueliang instead: "Han Qing, don't come unharmed." ”

Zhang Xueliang was very excited: "Brother Kunwu, I haven't seen you for many years and you are already a general, I'm really happy for you." ”

Chen Zikun patted Zhang Xueliang on the shoulder, very intimate, and Lu Xiaojia was dumbfounded.

"This is Zhang Xiaokun?" Chen Zikun turned to Zhang Zongchang, raised his head slightly, and squinted at this handsome man who was known for his toughness.

Zhang Zongchang is eight feet tall, about 1.9 meters, slightly taller than Chen Zikun, extremely burly, with broad shoulders, a mustache, round eyes, not angry and self-imposing, a yellow tweed military uniform supported by tendons and bulging, armed belts around his waist, equipped with sabers and pistols, and he is clearly a fierce general of 10,000 enemies.

"Kun Shuai, I am Zhang Zongchang."

"Damn, why did you send troops to beat me?" Chen Zikun scolded when he opened his mouth.

Zhang Zongchang was scolded for being stupid, a high-level meeting, how to meet with the bandit leader, he scolded when he opened his mouth, but he reacted very quickly, and immediately scolded back: "Damn, you have incorporated Lao Tzu's 500 elite soldiers, and Lao Tzu has not settled this account with you!" ”

Chen Zikun said: "If you want to settle the account, okay, let's settle it." With a shake of his shoulder, the orderly caught his big coat from behind, and then took his hat and saber.

Zhang Zongchang also took off his armed belt and threw it to the adjutant, and the two rolled up their sleeves and were about to fight.

"Brother Kunwu, Commander Zhang, what are you doing?" Zhang Xueliang was in a hurry, but both of them were energetic, and he couldn't persuade them at all.

On the side, Lu Yongxiang's father and son glanced at each other, they were all happy, and the conflict between the Jiangdong Army and the Feng Army was the thing they were most happy to see.

Chen Zikun and Zhang Zongchang directly spread their fists and feet in the open space in front of the lobby of the Public Office, Chen Zikun has a body of martial arts, and he has nowhere to play for a long time, and he is suffocated.

The soldiers of the Jiangdong Army and the Feng Army gathered in a circle, cheering for their commanders, and the scene was quite enthusiastic.

Although Chen Zikun is good at martial arts, but Zhang Zongchang is not an ordinary person, he is not only excellent in fists and feet, height and weight have a great advantage, after dozens of moves, the two scuffled, Zhang Zongchang rode on Chen Zikun's body, his fists rained down, and the drum sounded, Chen Zikun clamped Zhang Zongchang's neck with both feet, and then there was a Foshan shadowless foot, kicking him out seven or eight meters away, knocking down a soldier.

Zhang Zongchang fell to the ground, wiping the blood on his lips: "Damn, this kick is really ruthless." ”

Chan stepped forward and stretched out his right hand.

Zhang Zongchang took his hand and took advantage of the situation, and the two looked at each other fiercely, and there were sparks in their eyes.

The soldiers on both sides quickly separated their camps, their gun holsters were opened, and they only waited for their commanders to give an order to start fighting.

Lu Yongxiang gave his son a look, and the two quietly stepped back, and it was not good to be injured by a stray bullet if they really fought.

Suddenly, Chen Zikun and Zhang Zongchang laughed at the same time, and then the two hugged each other and slapped each other's backs.

"Zhang Dashuai, you are a real man! Brother admires. Chen Zikun said.

"Brother, you're the real hero, it's been a long time since you've had such a good time, hahaha." Zhang Zongchang's tears of laughter came out.

The soldiers on both sides breathed a sigh of relief, and the tense atmosphere became extremely harmonious in an instant, Zhang Xueliang shook his head helplessly: "Brother Kunwu, Brother Kunwu, the little brother really convinced you." ”

Lu Yongxiang's father and son's faces were ugly, and Lu Xiaojia said: "Dad, which one of these two are singing?" ”

"Hmph, there is no cure for the brain-dead." Lu Yongxiang said.

Chen Zikun and Zhang Zongchang entered the lobby hand in hand, like a mother, Zhang Xueliang also followed in with a smile, and Lu's father and son had to follow in.

After everyone gave in for a while, the guests and hosts sat down, Zhang Xueliang was about to introduce Lu Xiaojia to Chen Zikun, Chen Zikun preemptively said: "Hey, isn't this Lu Shaoshuai, when will you pay back the money you owe me?" ”

But the son of a warlord, whether he is thirty or forty years old or a newborn baby, is called a young marshal, this is not a good title, somewhat derogatory, no one has ever dared to call Zhang Xueliang a young marshal in person, Lu Xiaojia does not like others to call him a young marshal, and he doesn't like Chen Zikun to shout like this.

"How can Young Marshal Lu owe you your money? I have to talk about it. Zhang Zongchang followed and coaxed, he didn't like Lu Xiaojia, a cream boy, but he was familiar with Chen Zikun at first sight.

Chen Zikun said: "That's the case, the young marshal bullied people and bullied me, he promised to compensate me 100,000 yuan, but later not only did not compensate, but also found someone to cut me, if it wasn't for my brother, I practiced, I would have let a few deflated three hack to death in Pudong." ”

"And here's the thing! Xuanfu envoy, you have to give Chen Dashuai an explanation. Zhang Zongchang said with wide eyes, he hated Lu Yongxiang in his heart, and wanted to squeeze him away, and he naturally would not let go of this kind of opportunity.

Lu Xiaojia's face was blue and white for a while, but Lu Yongxiang laughed: "At that time, each is its master, Kunshuai, don't be like a dog, 100,000 oceans, and then offer." ”

Zhang Xueliang also played a round and said: "That is, it is better to settle the dispute than to settle the knot, look at my face, let's replace the wine with tea, and do it." ”

Everyone raised their teacups and symbolically touched them, and each took a sip.

"I'll come out of these 100,000 oceans." Zhang Xueliang said, he and Lu Xiaojia are friends, knowing that the other party's economic situation is not good, it is true that he can take out 100,000 yuan, but it is also quite painful, after all, the warlords in the field have no way to make money, and they are always empty-hearted.

"How can you let Han Qing break the bank, just 100,000 yuan, my Lu family can afford it." Lu Yongxiang still kept a smile, in the end, he was a handsome man who had been in the horse for half his life, and he still had this bearing.

Chen Zikun laughed: "Just kidding, you guys are still serious, as long as Lu Shaoshuai stops getting involved with those opium dealers, I will be very grateful." ”

Lu Xiaojia snorted and turned his head and left, Lu Yongxiang was very humble, and kept apologizing to Chen Zikun, but it made Chen Zikun a little embarrassed, and secretly said in his heart that the old fox was really insidious, and he had to be squeezed out of power this time.

Zhang Zongchang also thinks so, this time he is the vanguard officer of the Fengjun south, all the way to Shandong, Jiangsu, Anhui and all the way, in order to prevent the local rebound, borrowed the name of Lu Yongxiang's Xuanfu Army, in fact, he just used Lu Yongxiang as a signboard, but this old boy was bent on coming to power, and he made small moves below many times, which made Zhang Zongchang very unhappy.

At the beginning of the military meeting, Chen Zikun formally proposed to abolish the Songhu Protector Military Embassy Office, and all parties did not garrison troops in Shanghai, in fact, this hand was also aimed at Lu Yongxiang, he could not know, but Chen Zikun and Zhang Zongchang both voted in favor, Zhang Xueliang abstained, and he had to accept this reality.

When an agreement was reached, the application for the dismissal of the military envoys had to be reported to the War Department and the ruling government, and the Fengjun and Jiangdong Army stopped at the Songjiang front line and did not move forward, and as soon as the news came out, Shanghai was boiling, which meant that the military disaster would no longer affect Shanghai, and it would be a great benefit to the local economy and people's livelihood.

For a time, major newspapers in Shanghai published photos of Chen Zikun, Zhang Xueliang, and Zhang Zongchang, saying that they were heroes of Shanghai's peace, while Lu Yongxiang was selectively ignored.

The marshals only entered Shanghai with the guards, and were warmly welcomed by people from all walks of life, and the celebrities invited them to various banquets and parties, in order to be able to invite Chen and Zhang, but Zhang Zongchang was very disliked to deal with cultural people, and he took a few horses to rush into the brothel on the four roads and never came out again.

Among the celebrities in Shanghai, Shi Liang is a very important one, he sent out invitations, inviting Chen Zikun, Zhang Xueliang and others to come to the Shijia Garden to participate in the ball, Lu Xiaojia was the first to arrive, how to say that he is also the son of Su Wan Xuanfu, one of the four famous sons in the country, but also attracted a lot of attention, a group of noble ladies and celebrities around him.

Suddenly, a shout came from the gate: "General Zhang Xueliang has arrived." A milky white Mercedes-Benz sedan drove in, and those ladies and ladies suddenly became excited, and their eyes turned in unison.

followed by another voice: "General Xiaowu has arrived~~"

An elongated black Rover sedan drove in, and two bodyguards in suits and top hats stood on the front door pedals, which was even more imposing.

The waiter opened the car door, Zhang Xueliang got out, and in the Rover car opposite, Chen Zikun also got out, the two looked at each other, smiled, it turned out that both of them were wearing the most popular winter navy blue double-breasted suit in Shanghai, and they collided with their shirts.

The spotlights flashed, the reporters flocked forward, and the ladies and celebrities who were still around Lu Xiaojia a second ago walked away in an instant, chattering and watching the two young and heroic generals, Lu Xiaojia was extremely lonely, snorted coldly, and went to the side to drink stuffy.

The courtyard is full of jewels, suits and leather shoes, Shanghai celebrities gathered together, all came to watch the demeanor of the two generals, Zhang Xueliang is the young marshal of the Fengjun, needless to say, Chen Zikun studied in the United States, chic and free, the ladies and ladies were simply dazzled, but when they saw Chen Zikun from the Rover car out of a plump young woman, they were immediately deflated.

It turns out that Chen Dashuai has a wife, and he is already pregnant, no, he has more than one wife, and a beautiful young woman with a peerless brilliance got out of the car, and affectionately grabbed Chen Zikun's arm on the other side, and his aura was so strong that he immediately suppressed all the ladies and celebrities present.

Shanghai Tang is a world of flowers, and this kind of celebrity-gathering occasion is a hotbed for all kinds of peachy incidents, Yao Yilei and Jianbing are not at ease to let such a handsome husband out, they have reached a united front, and they must accompany them to all dance parties and banquets.

In the small living room with curtains hanging down, a young lady with a refined temperament held a wine glass and looked out with interest: "A big guy, a little guy, it's really interesting." ”

The door opened, and Song Ziwen walked in: "Meiling, why don't you go to greet the two generals?" ”
