Descrizione:

On October 22 Feng Yuxiang, betrayed his superiors by mounting the Beijing coup against President Cao Kun. Cao was deposed as president and placed under house arrest for the next two years. Upon receiving news of the coup, the infamous "Dog-Meat" warlord Zhang Zongchang of Shandong threw his support behind the Fengtian clique, putting them into a favourable military position. Wu Pufei, still at the Shanhaiguan front, was enraged and pulled his army away to rescue Beijing. Seeing an opening, Zhang Zuolin ordered his army to pursue Wu. Zhang Zongchang and Li Jinglin led their troops southward along the Luan River, toward Luanzhou, where they pushed on toward Tianjin.
