his robbery

Huo Xiangzhen arrived in Shandong with anticipation and hesitation, preparing to fight a fierce battle, but after entering the border of Shandong, he suddenly found that he had no opponent at all.The former provincial chairman was a member of Feng Yuxiang, and now, with some ulterior motive, he led the team back to Henan in a hurry, but Huo Xiangzhen drove the Fourth Army over without firing a single soldier or cannon.

He drove over, Gu Chengxi also drove over, and then there was no order from He Bogao, and they became idlers.Huo Xiangzhen occupied Tai'an, while Gu Chengxi entered Jinan.The armies of both sides were stationed scattered along Jinpu Road, and because there was a distance of more than 100 miles between Tai'an and Jinan, it was safe for a while.

Huo Xiangzhen was born in Zhili and grew up in Zhili, and he would never travel far easily before an emergency, so he could feel it immediately when the weather changed slightly.Back then he had fought in Shandong and had seen the hot summer here, but now that he arrived at the end of May, within a few days, he was covered in white sweat again.When the season entered mid-June, he was already so hot that he didn't think about eating or drinking, and he was just in a daze drenched in sweat all day long.

Accompanying him in a daze was Andre.Early in the morning, the two of them sat side by side on the wicker chairs on the porch to enjoy the shade. They were absolutely unable to wear their clothes, and they only had a pair of underpants to hide their shame, which were still very loose.With their elbows resting on the armrests of the chairs and their feet raised up against the railing of the veranda, they leaned back with half-closed eyes, each revealing a ball.

A gust of cool wind ran through the veranda, blowing the two of them drowsy. Just when it was cool and comfortable, there was a commotion in the house at the end of the veranda, and the bustle and bustle never stopped.Huo Xiangzhen was already upset, but now that she was disturbed, she didn't open her eyes, and yelled upwards: "What are you arguing about?!"

The commotion stopped immediately, and Li Tianbao, wearing a half-sleeved shirt, trotted over lightly.Facing Huo Xiangzhen outside the corridor, he saw that Huo Xiangzhen still had his eyes closed, so he boldly made a grimace: "Report to the commander, I received a telegram from the Secretary-General, and the Secretary-General said he would come over, so I am busy Clean up the house for the commander in chief."

Huo Xiangzhen tilted his head, and opened his eyes listlessly: "He comes whenever he comes, what kind of house will he clean up for me?"

Li Tianbao smiled calmly and said: "I didn't clean it up much, I just changed the bamboo mat for the commander in chief. It turned out that the bamboo mat was soaked in sweat. The secretary-general saw us and insisted on scolding us."

When Huo Xiangzhen heard this, she felt very uncomfortable, but she was groggy and too lazy to get angry.He closed his eyes again, and said in a low voice: "You bastards, you are all poking and moving, and you are lazy to fool me all day long. If the secretary-general doesn't send a telegram, you won't think of changing my bed and new mat !"

Then he waved his hand to the side: "Go away!"

Li Tianbao agreed, and walked away quietly holding back a smile.

When Ma Congrong arrived in Tai'an, he ran away after only three days. Before leaving, he gave Huo Xiangzhen an idea, suggesting that Huo Xiangzhen move to Mount Tai for a few days.When Huo Xiangzhen heard this, he felt it was nonsense at first, but after thinking about it, he changed his mind again - anyway, now in Taiping, Shandong, if he goes to the mountains to escape the summer heat for a few days, he must not miss the big deal.

The more Huo Xiangzhen thought about it, the more she felt that this was feasible, so she ordered Li Tianbao to pack up and get ready to go.Unexpectedly, the day before his departure, Li Tianbao came over with a telegram, and accompanied him carefully and said: "Marshal, Commander Gu of the Sixth Army sent a telegram, saying that he wanted to come to Tai'an to see you."

Huo Xiangzhen took the telegram and glanced at it, then handed it back to Li Tianbao: "He is not allowed to come."

Li Tianbao was ordered to resign, but within an hour, he came back with a new message: "Commander, Commander Gu called back, saying that he had no other intentions, but just wanted to go to Mount Tai by way of Tai'an. "

Huo Xiangzhen didn't read the telegram at all this time, and replied directly: "He is not allowed to log in."

Li Tianbao retreated again, this time within half an hour, he timidly walked up to Huo Xiangzhen for the third time: "Commander, Commander Gu called back again, he asked Commander..."

Seeing him hesitating, Huo Xiangzhen couldn't help getting impatient: "What are you asking? Talk!"

Li Tianbao lowered his head: "He asked when the commander-in-chief took over Mount Tai."

Huo Xiangzhen wiped off his sweat with a big towel: "You are so shameless and mean-spirited. Don't bother with him. Anyway, he is not allowed to enter Tai'an."

Li Tianbao also felt that the telegram was not easy to reply, so he walked out immediately after getting the order.And Huo Xiangzhen was clutching a big towel, wanting to kill Gu Chengxi at one moment, but at the other moment fearing that Gu Chengxi would not be easy to kill—at least not now, the two armies were confronting each other in Shandong, and the word cooperation was just superficial.Once he really made a move on Gu Chengxi, the situation in Shandong and Hebei would definitely be chaotic, and a vicious battle would be inevitable.

Huo Xiangzhen doesn't dare to move now, good steel must be used wisely, he can't sacrifice his own soldiers to avenge his personal revenge.Now that the south, east, north, and west are at war, he still plans to win in the chaos and find a chance to snatch Hebei back.

Before setting off, Huo Xiangzhen asked Li Kechen to go with him.Xue Bing and Sun Wenxiong were the leaders of the troops and could not leave the camp. Only the staff office was free and could travel with him.However, when Li Kechen heard that he was going to climb Mount Tai, he was so frightened that he wished he could stay in bed and pretend to be sick—he was already in his forties, and he was usually as lazy as he could be.If the chief of staff doesn't go, it's not easy for the staff to go; so Huo Xiangzhen had no choice but to take the adjutant's office and the guards on the road alone.

Li Tianbao is the head of the adjutant office, they are still half-grown children, and when they heard that they were going to climb Mount Tai, they became excited a long time in advance.When they were on the road early in the morning, they were all smiling as if they were going to a picnic.As a result, after laughing for less than two hours, I stopped laughing.Among them, Li Tianbao has rarely worked since he became the deputy chief, and his body is the weakest. With a green bamboo stick in his hand, he is so tired that he can't stand on all fours.Seeing that Andre could still follow Huo Xiangzhen forward, he raised his hand and grabbed the leather belt around Andre's waist, wanting to borrow strength.Andre was so uncomfortable that he couldn't shake his hands and walk.The two sides walked for a while so involved, Huo Xiangzhen suddenly turned around and grabbed Li Tianbao's hand: "Follow me!"

Li Tianbao was taken aback and complained incessantly, but he dared not refuse.And Huo Xiangzhen has long seen that Li Tianbao has no bones in his body, and that he is not very capable and flirtatious all day long, like Ma Congrong's second, so he took the opportunity to give him a little bit of trouble.Holding Li Tianbao's tender hand, he walked forward with long legs and big strides.But Li Tianbao chased after him very slowly, his eyes were so tired that his eyes were straightened, and he only had gasping for breath with his mouth open.In the end, he pouted his buttocks and bent his waist, facing the ground, begging: "Marshal, take a break, I can't stand the humble job!"

Huo Xiangzhen looked back at him, not giving him a good face: "Li Tianbao! Usually you don't carry guns, and you don't fight wars, so now you won't even walk?"

Li Tianbao raised his face dripping with sweat, and cried softly, "Marshal, I'm so exhausted, my humble legs are too trembling to move."

Huo Xiangzhen saw that he was really beyond his strength, so he looked forward again, and saw that this place was not far from Zhongtian Gate, and the mountain road was getting steeper and steeper.So he let go of Li Tianbao's hand, and he ordered to rest on the spot for half an hour.

As soon as this remark came out, the people behind heard it in their ears, it was really like the sound of Buddha's words.Li Tianbao immediately moved to the edge of the mountain road and sat down, calling for others to beat his legs.His little colleagues followed suit and sat stumbling around.And half an hour passed quickly, Huo Xiangzhen picked up Li Tianbao's green bamboo stick, stabbed up all the adjutants on the ground, and then like driving ducks to the shelves, he led such a large group of young masters to continue climbing.The people in the rear also cheered up, only looking forward to arriving at the Zhongtian Gate - a local gentry built a small villa near the Zhongtian Gate, which was the end of Huo Xiangzhen's trip.

After walking vigorously for a long time, this team finally reached the Zhongtian Gate.Huo Xiangzhen had a good view of the scenery along the way, and felt that the trip was worthwhile.He raised his finger and pointed to the stone square engraved with the words "Zhongtianmen". He was about to speak to Andre, but before he could speak, a large group of guards suddenly appeared in front of him. The guards were surrounded by a mountain sedan chair. It looked like he came down from Nantian Gate, and sitting on the sedan chair was a rich man in a suit and leather shoes, who was Gu Chengxi.

This section of the mountain road is extremely steep, so the bearers are all well-trained and strong men, who can carry the tall and burly Commander Gu to advance and retreat freely.Gu Chengxi originally leaned back with Erlang's legs crossed, but now he lowered his legs and leaned forward. He nodded and smiled at Huo Xiangzhen from afar.When the sedan chair got closer, he greeted with a smile: "Commander Huo, it's better to come early than to come by coincidence. Tell me, do we think we are destined to meet thousands of miles away?"

Huo Xiangzhen looked at Gu Chengxi today as he looked at Lian Yi back then, because he was convinced that the other party was an enemy, so he lost his temper.Looking up at Gu Chengxi, he asked, "Who let you enter Tai'an?"

Gu Chengxi smiled and said: "Commander Huo won't give way, how dare I enter. Fortunately, Mount Tai was not really covered by you, otherwise I wouldn't even dare to climb the mountain."

After hearing this, Huo Xiangzhen guessed that he copied the mountain on the trail and climbed all the way up, so there is no need to investigate this matter carefully.The two sides each brought guards, and the number of people was evenly matched, so since they came, they would be safe, and there was no need to lose interest because of this.He took a step on his own, and he wanted to continue walking with his entourage.Gu Chengxi on the sedan chair turned his head and stared at him, seeing that he was wearing a light-colored sportswear, his hair was shaved to only a short layer, and the sweat was flowing down the traces of the blue sideburns. He was obviously thinner, not thinner The body is thin on the face, and a face with a chiseled old-haired look.

One head turned more and more backwards, finally Gu Chengxi looked at Huo Xiangzhen's back, and suddenly asked loudly: "Hey, are you going to Su's villa?"

Huo Xiangzhen didn't look back and ignored him.

Gu Chengxi didn't wait for the bearer to get off the sedan chair, and as soon as he lifted his leg over the sedan chair pole, he jumped directly to the ground: "I'm going too!"

Huo Xiangzhen tried his best to suppress his temper, but after hearing this, he finally couldn't bear it anymore and turned his head and said angrily: "What are you going to do? I can't take care of Mount Tai, can't I take care of Su's villa? Gu Chengxi, Gu Chengxi, I have the overall situation in mind, and I refuse Settling old scores with you, why don't you know what is good and what is bad, and still pester me endlessly? You think that I, Huo, are timid and afraid, and now I can't help you, Commander Gu?"

Gu Chengxi raised his eyebrows: "Su Pei's eldest son is an official in Jinan. His son, Mr. Su, promised me a few days ago that I can live in his villa. I can come to escape the summer, can't you? You, Commander Huo Afraid of heat, I will not be afraid of heat if I look after someone?"

Huo Xiangzhen raised two eyebrows: "Mr. Su Pei also promised me the exact words, your son's words don't count!"

Gu Chengxi replied earnestly: "That's not what I said, but I am my own son!"

Huo Xiangzhen saw that he was glib, talking nonsense in public, and if it was talking about nonsense, he must not be an opponent. If he was caught in it, he might be in danger of making a fool of himself.Waving to the crowd behind him, he gave a concise order: "Go!"

Gu Chengxi also raised his hand, and said softly, "Chase!"
