During the period of Lao Zhang's assassination, rumors spread everywhere, some said that Lao Zhang was only injured and did not die, and some said that Lao Zhang was dead, and now the Feng army is leaderless.

As for who the murderer is, the accounts are even more varied, some say that it was done by Beiyang Duan Qirui, some say that it was the internal strife of the Feng army, and some say that it was assassinated by the Japanese, in short, there are all kinds of things.

However, there is one person who can finally take a breath, that is Duan Qirui, originally the Feng army was pressing, and it was about to hit Beijing, Lao Duan was ready to escape with his tail between his legs, but suddenly the situation reversed, Lao Zhang's life and death were uncertain, and the Feng army quickly retreated to the pass, Duan Qirui of course would not let go of this good opportunity to get angry.

"Another Zheng, immediately lead the army, give me the pursuit of the Feng army, it is best to kill the Shanhaiguan Pass, and beat the three eastern provinces down to me, these beards outside the pass dare to challenge the central government, it is simply a crime that cannot be punished, one by one should be executed, kill me immediately!"

Xiao Xu's mind is a little more sober than Duan Qirui, now Lao Duan's hands are not enough, and the Feng army has a large number of follow-up troops outside the pass, and there are strong border guards who have not acted, Xiao Xu doesn't want to eat, but he can't directly say that he is afraid, so he can only say, "Zhi Weng, now that there is civil strife in the Feng army, let's attack rashly, but let them hold a group, it's better to wait for them to split, let's start again!" ”

"Hmm!" Lao Duan nodded, but he was still unwilling, so he said: "We must teach Fengjun a lesson, otherwise where is our prestige!" You Zheng, you immediately transferred troops from all over the country to prepare to attack the outside of the Guan, and the Feng army still left a lot of troops in the Guan, you must hurry up and gather them all, and then I will appoint you as the Northwest Frontier Supervisor. The handsome army entered Rehe and broke one of the arms of the Feng army! ”

As soon as Xu Shuzheng heard Duan Qirui's arrangement, it was also exactly what he wanted, so he immediately nodded yes. Just as he was about to implement it, a telegram suddenly came from someone, and he was overjoyed.

"The anti-bone boy Feng Yuxiang is finished, he escaped with his personal guards!" Lao Duan said viciously: "Don't let this guy go, if he dares to stab us at a critical time, he won't let him feel better." ”

Xu Shuzheng is not a broad-minded person. He already hated Feng Yuxiang so much, so he immediately said, "Don't worry, Zhiweng, I have already put his head in front of you. ”

Old Duan was not extremely Tailai, he was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief, and his embarrassing situation was mainly due to the strong force oppression of the Feng army. Now that there is no pressure from the Feng army, the other shili will not be a problem. Lao Duan immediately ordered the dissolution of the National Assembly. At the same time, Liang Qichao and Tang Hualong were hunted down. Lao Duan was very busy.

At this time, there was another person in Shanhaiguan, that is, Kan Chaoxi, who was also ordered to lead the army into the customs together, but at this time Zhang Zuolin's life and death were uncertain, and he knew that Ji Jinchun arrested Xiqia and Yu Chonghan, and then rushed back to Fengtian.

Kan Chaoxi felt bad. It is clear that it was the Japanese who assassinated Zhang Zuolin, and the pro-Japanese Shili in the Feng army will definitely be purged. He also had contact with the Japanese earlier, and also helped Wu Junsheng and Zhang Jinghui to talk, if Lao Zhang was alive. will definitely be angry with him, if Lao Zhang dies, the Feng army will definitely settle accounts with him.

He is different from Ji Jinchun, Ji Jinchun and Zhang Tinglan still have a trace of incense, and they are not deeply involved with the Japanese, so Ji Jinchun dares to return to Fengtian, but he doesn't dare.

After thinking about it, Kan Chaoxi found that there was only one way, and that was to surrender!

Kan Chaoxi immediately sent a telegram to Duan Qirui, first telling that he was confused for a while, and it was a big mistake to follow the Feng army to rebel against the central government, and now he is willing to atone for his crimes, ask the prime minister for forgiveness, and from then on, he is willing to serve the prime minister!

Kan Chaoxi is also an old man in the Feng army, and now he has a well-equipped brigade in his hands, especially a brigade of the Feng army that is equipped with a division of an ordinary army. Kan Chaoxi was about to surrender, and Lao Duan was even more overjoyed, and he immediately announced the appointment of Kan Chaoxi as the commander of the new 27th Division, and made every effort to incorporate the troops scattered in the Guannei by the Feng Army.

After Kan Chaoxi got this appointment, he was overjoyed, and immediately led his troops out of the pass, all the way were the rout of the Feng army, and he recruited everywhere. In particular, Zhang Jinghui ran back to Fengtian alone and left all the troops of a division in the pass, and these people became the target of Kan Chaoxi.

Lao Zhang led three divisions and four brigades, nearly 60,000 people into the pass, after this great chaos, the troops that safely withdrew to Fengtian were less than two divisions, and 40,000 people were scattered in the pass.

The strength of the Feng army suffered unprecedented losses, Kan Chaoxi surrendered Duan Qirui, the impact was even greater, rumors spread among the Feng army, chaos continued, and many officers who were not determined defected one after another. Now the total number of troops guarding Mukden is only more than 30,000 people, and the situation is getting worse and worse.

"Humble words, something is wrong!" Yang Yuting hurriedly ran over and said breathlessly: "Lao Duan appointed Xu Shuzheng as the Northwest Frontier Supervisor, and the target is Rehe. In addition, the Japanese garrisons along the Manchurian Railway have also been mobilized, apparently preparing to find a gap and cause trouble. ”

Zhang Tinglan leaned on the sofa, and there was no surprise on her face: "They fell into the well, it was expected a long time ago, as long as we can stabilize, we don't have to worry about others." ”

In fact, to tell the truth, the situation of the Feng army at this time is indeed too dangerous, the Beiyang counterattack is imminent, and the Japanese have taken the opportunity to make trouble, coupled with their own military instability, the slightest carelessness is a situation of broken bones.

However, the more this time, as a leader, the more you need to stay calm and not mess with yourself, otherwise the whole situation will be over.

"Lingge, have all the divisional and brigade-level commanders in the Fengtian army arrived in Fengtian?"

"Basically, they all came, only Wan Fulin, who stayed behind in Rehe, Li Jinglin from Hailanpao, and Kan Chaoxi from Shanhaiguan did not arrive."

Zhang Tinglan frowned slightly: "Wan Fulin and Li Jinglin have a long way to go, and they are guarding the place, and the task is heavy, so they can be forgiven for coming late." Kan Chaoxi is in Shanhaiguan, I have sent him a telegram, asking him to return to Fengtian with Ji Jinchun, but now he has not returned, I am afraid that something is wrong! ”

Before Zhang Tinglan's voice fell, Chang Yinhuai walked in and said anxiously: "Humble words, Kan Chaoxi has surrendered to Lao Duan, not only him, but also his troops have been pulled away. ”

"Damn!" Zhang Tinglan grabbed the teapot in front of him. Fell to the ground and smashed a powder smash. sneered and said: "The wall is down and everyone pushes it, they think that the Feng army is finished, and they want to vote for another master, okay, if anyone else is willing to go, just go together, I want to see if there is no such scum, will the Feng army be finished!" ”

Yang Yuting also frowned. clenched his teeth and said loudly: "These old-school characters are all unreliable, they only have interests in their eyes, and if they have milk, they are mothers." Usually one by one is not angry, and I always feel that the handsome man has given them less. To enter the customs to snatch Huahua Shijie. But when the time came for trouble, they ran away. How can such a person be reused! ”

Zhang Tinglan sat sullenly for a while. Instead, he calmed down and sneered: "It's okay to go, this is a big change of blood for the Feng army, without those veteran oils, we can develop better and survive this hurdle." The future of Fengjun will be even brighter! ”

Zhang Tinglan stood up suddenly, exuding an unprecedented fighting spirit all over his body, and said loudly: "If you have the ability, let them come over together and see if I will be afraid of them." If you want to attack Feng Jun, I will chop off his dog paws! ”

At this juncture of crisis, Zhang Tinglan was able to stabilize his position and maintain confidence, which was also a great comfort for others, and Yang Yuting took Zhang Tinglan's hand.

"Humble words, starting from assisting the old marshal, the whole army, including the old marshal, what can really make me admire is you. At that time, I thought that if you could be ten years older, I would fight the world with you, but I didn't expect that the world would make people, and Lao Shuai would be assassinated. In the future, Fengjun will have the final say on you, and Yang is willing to be your right and left hand! ”

"Count me in again!" Chang Yinhuai said with a smile on the side: "Humble words, before the marshal entered the customs, you warned again and again, it can be seen that you are much more clever than the marshal's vision, and only you can lead the Fengjun out of the trough, and I am willing to be loyal to you!" ”

Seeing the truth in adversity, Yang Yuting and Chang Yinhuai stood on Zhang Tinglan's side without hesitation, and he also had a little comfort in his heart, patted the shoulders of the two people, and then said with a smile: "Two, don't look at Fengjun is very dangerous, but the greater the external pressure, the easier it will be for us to make some changes, this time for Fengjun, it is a rebirth, you wait and see!" ”

After Zhang Tinglan finished speaking, he took them out of the study and went straight to the Tiger Hall, where the Tiger Hall was full at this time, and Zhang Zuoxiang and Sun Liechen sat on the main seat.

Zhang Zuoxiang said with a sinking face: "Da Shuai has been assassinated, and he has returned to heaven, everyone should follow me to see Da Shuai Zuihou now." ”

After Zhang Zuoxiang finished speaking, everyone present was stunned, they heard about the assassination of Dashuai, but after all, life and death are uncertain, these people still hope that Zhang Zuolin will not die, and Fengjun will not completely reshuffle the cards.

Now that they got the exact news, everyone was stunned, and they didn't know what to think in their hearts. With Zhang Zuolin here, the various factions of the Feng army can still maintain balance, and Lao Zhang's rewards and punishments are relatively fair, now that he is gone, where should the Feng army go, they have no spectrum in their hearts.

Zhang Zuoxiang and Sun Liechen silently led in front, and everyone followed, and they arrived at Lao Zhang's ward together.

The former king of the Northeast has become a cold corpse at this time, and all the prestige and power have turned into a passing cloud, these people who are loyal to Zhang Zuolin, after seeing it, one by one sorrow came from it, and couldn't help crying loudly.

A few people cried directly to the ground, although Lao Zhang was born as a bandit, but he treats people really well, and those who can follow orders to Fengtian are all characters who are grateful for Zhang Zuolin's kindness, seeing the old chief's body in front of them, how can they not be sad!

After a long time, the crying of these people finally stopped, and Zhang Zuoxiang said: "Everyone, the handsome man was killed, and all parties jumped out, wanting to take the opportunity to bring down our Feng army, can you agree?" ”

"Can't!" Sun Anhu took the lead and said: "Although the commander is dead, the banner of the Fengjun must not fall, we must avenge the commander, find out the murderer, and make those who want to fight the idea of the Fengjun pay the price!" ”

"Well said!" Sun Liechen said on the side: "The top priority now is to stabilize the morale of the army, we can't mess up our positions, and we can't give the enemy a chance to take advantage of!" ”

The officers also nodded frequently, but there was still a panicked look in their eyes. At this time, Zhang Tinglan took Yang Yuting and Chang Yinhuai to the scene, Zhang Tinglan walked quickly in front of everyone and glanced around.

"I want to tell you a series of bad news, Duan Qirui declared the Fengjun as a rebel army and wanted to crusade against us; Xu Shuzheng became the Northwest Frontier Supervisor and wanted to take the opportunity to attack Rehe; Kan Chaoxi led the army to surrender Duan Qirui, and more than seventy percent of our troops entered the customs were lost; The Japanese are ready to move along the South Manchurian Road, and there is a great danger of taking the opportunity to stir up trouble! ”

Every time Zhang Tinglan said a word, it was like a heavy punch to the heart of the big guy, and they all showed a look of shock, if this is the case, then Fengjun has really come to the point of life and death! (To be continued......)
