On the east side of the horse farm in the south of Tianjin City, there is a road leading to the British Concession, called Horse Farm Road.

The owner of No. 2 Machang Road was Pan Fu, who was promoted to the Minister of Finance of the Beiyang Government two months ago. This person wandered between the Zhili Army, Fengtian Army and Anhui Army warlords, and had close contacts with all forces. He basically held a meal at home every week. The invitation was either a commander or a Beiyang political figure.

After the principal officially vowed to the Northern Expedition in the south, Pan Fu would become a link between the various factions in the Beiyang and be regarded as the supreme strategist under Zhang Zuolin.

That's next month. Now Pan Fu is still staying in Tianjin, holding parties every few days to contact each other.

"Didi!"

Chu Yupu's car drove into the door, with his fifth concubine, Chu Nanxiang and Zhou Hexuan.

"Oh, it's rare, I'm a little, Brother Yunshan, please come in!" Pan Fu stood at the door to greet him, shook hands and patted Chu Yupu's shoulders with great enthusiasm.

As a follower, Zhou Hexuan was inconspicuous. With the arrival of Shuai Chu, several people had already come inside. They were Zhang Zongchang and his concubine, Li Jinglin and his concubine, and Yang Tingyu and his concubine, all of whom belonged to the Fengjun generals.

Zhou Hexuan was taken to the side hall by the Pan Mansion, where the place where the adjutants were staying. Before he could walk a few steps, he heard Zhang Zongchang curse, "Chu Yupu, you bad brother-in-law, you dare to argue with me. I will kill you today!"

When they met in the living room, they started fighting. "I don't know how much money there is, how many soldiers there are, and how many concubines there are." General Zhang Zongchang of the Sanbuzhi flew up and kicked Chu Yupu.

Chu Yupu quickly dodged away, and it was difficult to fight with his old boss in person. He idled and shouted, "Master, don't force me to fight back, you can't beat me!"

"You dare to fight back? There is no way to fight back!" Zhang Zongchang became even more angry and was so angry that he pulled out his gun directly.

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say!"

Li Jinglin and Yang Tingyu hurriedly stepped forward and tried to persuade the fight. Finally, Zhang Zongchang went back to sit down angrily, staring with his eyes wide open and wished he could eat Chu Yupu.

Since Chu Yupu of course supervised and governor of Zhili, he has become less and less concerned about Zhang Zongchang, and even arranged people to annex Zhang Zongchang's small troops. The two of them had a very terrible riot some time ago because of the Red Gun Club incident. At that time, Shandong Red Gun Club developed everywhere, and Wenshang County even gathered tens of thousands of Red Gun Club troops.

The Red Gun Society belongs to a rural Taoist organization, with the purpose of preventing bandits, fighting bullies, fighting officers and soldiers, and fighting taxes. This thing caused great trouble, which made Zhang Zongchang very difficult to collect taxes and threatened to wipe out Wenshang County.

Wenshang County is Chu Yupu's hometown. Zhuang Chu is a homesick man. He deliberately shouted to his subordinates during military training: "When he dares to slaughter Wenshang County, I will slaughter Ye County within a radius of 100 miles!"

Ye County is Zhang Zongchang's hometown. Old Zhang knew that Chu Yupu could do it, but he had no choice but to cancel the plan to wash Wenshang. The people of Wenshang County were grateful to Chu Yupu and even erected a monument for Zhuang Chu, calling him "the second emperor of the capital."

It's funny to say that Chu Yupu, who is regarded as a beast by the people of Tianjin, is a great charity in the eyes of his hometown.

Zhou Hexuan sat down in the side hall and communicated with the names of the other male commanders. Even if everyone knew each other, they started chatting none of them.

After a while, the atmosphere in the main hall had become harmonious. Zhang Zongchang and Chu Yupu, who had just had a strong fight, were actually smoking together with each other, and their relationship was as good as brothers.

"Young Marshal!"

Suddenly, everyone stood up and stepped forward to welcome Zhang Xueliang who was late.

Zhang Xueliang also brought his concubine (the original wife is still there), who was his second wife Gu Ruiyu. Gu Ruiyu has been with Zhang Xueliang in recent years and even brought her to war with him, so she is also called the wife of the army.

Last year, because Guo Songling turned against him and rebelled, Zhang Xueliang suffered from insomnia overnight. Yang Tingyu encouraged him to smoke smoke and relieve fatigue, which caused him to become addicted to opium. Gu Ruiyu did not dissuade him, and the Zhang family was very dissatisfied with her, but the relationship between the two was still very stable.

Until the young marshal met Miss Zhao Si later...

Zhang Xueliang, Pan Fu, Yang Tingyu, Zhang Zongchang, Chu Yupu and Li Jinglin sat down, and their concubine was also guarding her side, surrounding Zhang's table or pushing Paijiu.

The room soon became smoky. Zhang Xueliang held a cigarette in his mouth, held the domino in his hands and rubbed it. Then he started to open it slowly with his eyes open, and kept chanting: "Shuangtian, Shuangtian, Shuangtian... Mom was slapping, it was blown, it was ten times weak!"

Everyone stretched their necks and saw that the cards Zhang Shaoshuai had actually been exposed as a sky-high bar, and they basically lost, unless the dealer was even more unlucky.

"Sorry," Yang Tingyu spread his cards and smiled, "Young Marshal, I'm a two-legged guy."

"Take it," Zhang Xueliang pushed over a pile of oceans and said angrily, "I have always lost playing cards recently, so I don't believe in that evil. I will wash all the cards, and I will be the Dingzhuang!"

Pan Fu flattered: "The casino is frustrated and the officialdom is proud. The young coach is going to be promoted again!"

"Yes, yes, I wish the young marshal a step-by-step promotion." Others agreed.

Zhang Xueliang was a little happy and quickly shuffled and dealt the cards. He covered his cards and said, "You guys show off the cards first, and I will drive them in the end!"

Everyone did not dare to refuse, and each turned over the card. From large to small, the cards were: Zhang Zongchang's double benches, Pan Fu's double axes, Li Jinglin's Zajiu, Chu Yupu's king, and Yang Tingyu's ground bar.

Zhang Xueliang also took out the first card, which was the reunion card. He rubbed the two cards together and then slowly pulled them apart. First, a white idea appeared, and then he continued to pull out two more white dots.

"There's a chance!"

Zhang Xueliang didn't bother to stop and pulled the card to the end. There was only a red dot in the lower half. He laughed and shot the card: "Hahaha, double goose, kill all! Give the silver."

"It's still a good young coach."

"Young Marshal is so angry!"

"I can't play cards with the young coach next time, he is an expert."

“…”

Everyone flattered, and Zhang Xueliang was so happy that he smiled.

Until the evening, Zhang Xueliang, who had been on the banker, had won several thousand oceans. The servant from Pan Fu's family came over and said, "Master, everyone, you can have dinner."

Zhang Xueliang was in a good mood, so he put down Paijiu and said, "Eat first, and continue playing tonight."

Everyone immediately surrounded Zhang Xueliang to the dining room. The coach and his concubine sat at a table. While serving the dishes and pouring wine, Zhang Xueliang suddenly remembered something and asked Chu Yupu: "By the way, did you bring the person to the Zhou Hexuan I mentioned last time?"

"I've brought it, waiting in the side hall." Chu Yupu responded quickly.

Zhang Xueliang waved, "Call him over and have dinner together. The old man is very optimistic about him and asks me to come to Tianjin for more advice."

"That's his blessing." Chu Yupu quickly got up and ran to the side hall to call someone.
