"Surrender without firing a shot! What is the difference between you and their troops? It's just that when your parents gave birth to you, they didn't give you enough courage! The entire Northern Region was defeated! How long had it been? Hmm? Other than the 53rd Brigade who fought with Duan Qirui's troops for eight hours, all of you ran back without firing a single shot!”
Zhang Zuolin looked at the officer in front of him and shouted angrily.
At this moment, Yang Yuting, who had been arrested by Zhang Zuolin and Zhang Xueliang for betraying the position of the special forces, appeared in the room in his military uniform.
"Chief of Staff!"
A few officers who passed by the door saw Yang Yuting and shouted.
At this time, Yang Yuting had already removed the word 'deputy' from his previous position and replaced Wu Yong as the Chief of Staff. Wu Yong had been demoted to the Deputy Chief of Staff.
When Zhang Zuolin saw Yang Yuting walk in, his tone became even more severe, as if he was pointing at a mulberry tree and scolding a locust tree.
"Alright, all of you, get out!”
Looking at the officers leaving, Yang Yuting suddenly lowered his head and said to Zhang Zuolin,""Marshal, I have let you down.”
Zhang Zuolin glanced at Yang Yuting from the corner of his eyes, and his expression changed. He said to Yang Yuting,""Yuting, didn't you say that Hebei Province is within our reach? He even said that he would occupy the capital and command the world, but how did the situation turn out like this?”
Yang Yuting was stunned when he heard Zhang Zuolin's cold voice. He realized that he had made the wrong choice to escape back to Fengtian.
"Marshal, I didn't expect the two armies to suddenly join forces. After all, they've already opened fire on the battlefield!”
Yang Yuting explained.
"Men, take him away!”
Zhang Zuolin narrowed his eyes and ordered his men to take Yang Yuting away.
Zhang Zuolin did not even look at Yang Yuting, who was desperately trying to explain.
Zhang Zuolin was well aware of the pros and cons of starting a war this time, including Wu Yong's warning. However, no one knew how ambitious Zhang Zuolin was. He didn't want to hide in Fengtian Province.
Therefore, when he saw the opportunity, the first thing he wanted to do was to attack Hebei Province. Coincidentally, Yang Yuting did not like it. Zhang Zuolin pretended to listen to Yang Yuting's advice and attacked Hebei Province with all his strength. Wu Yong had always advised him not to start a war for the time being. Zhang Zuolin, who wanted to satisfy his selfish desires, directly demoted him.
Outsiders only knew that Zhang Zuolin was bewitched by Yang Yuting, but they did not know that Zhang Zuolin wanted to make a big move.
If he could take down Jingdou, then Zhang Zuolin would be able to use this opportunity to ascend to the throne of the Grand President and enjoy the thrill of being an emperor.
Zhang Zuolin took the risk in the face of such a huge temptation.
Now that things had failed, Zhang Zuolin had already made Yang Yuting the scapegoat for this incident.
"Men, report to me how many troops are left in the entire Hebei Province.”
Following Zhang Zuolin's shout, an officer rushed into his office. He took the latest news he had just received and marked the positions of the various troops on the military map on the wall.
"Which unit is this?"
Zhang Zuolin pointed at a regiment surrounded by three divisions.
Although this regiment was doomed in his eyes, he had to know who it was before it was destroyed. Moreover, it was worth it for Zhang Zuolin to know whose troops it was because they could still stand guard against the attack of a division.
"Commander, this is the 27th regiment.”
"27th Regiment? Liu Zi's troops?"
When Zhang Zuolin heard this, he immediately widened his eyes and looked at the officer in front of him.
"Yes, Great Marshal, it's the Young Marshal's 27th Regiment.”
When Zhang Zuolin heard this, he said in a muffled voice,""Inform the 27th Regiment to retreat to the northeast immediately.”
When the officer heard this, he said with some difficulty,""Commander, the 27th Regiment is probably already at war with the enemy. It's probably too late to retreat now.”
Zhang Zuolin turned around and kicked the officer's waist. He shouted angrily,""Send me a telegram! Hurry up and go!"
Looking at Zhang Zuolin who was almost crazy, the officer did not dare to say anything else and ran to send the telegram.
