We all know that after the Xi'an Incident, Zhang Xueliang was also placed under house arrest by Chiang Kai-shek in November 1938 and did not regain his freedom until 1990. Zhang Xueliang was placed under house arrest for so many years without incident, in addition to the credit of Miss Zhang Si, there is another person whose credit is also very large, he is Huo Shouyi.
Since Huo Shouyi joined Zhang Xueliang's Northeast Army, he was deeply trusted by Zhang Xueliang. It can be said that Zhang Xueliang has the grace of knowing Huo Shouyi. After he learned that Zhang Xueliang was under house arrest by Chiang Kai-shek, Huo Shouyi tried to rescue Zhang Xueliang many times, but he was afraid that Zhang Xueliang's life was in danger at Chiang Kai-shek's hands, so he kept moving.
Once, six senior generals of the Northeast Army, who had been specially approved by Chiang Kai-shek, met Zhang Xueliang at Xikou. The Northeast Army was worried about the safety of the young marshal, but the young marshal said: "Rest assured, as long as you are there, then Chiang Kai-shek will not dare to move me easily." Because the young marshal firmly controlled the Northeast Army, Chiang Kai-shek only put Zhang Xueliang under house arrest and did not dare to do anything.
After returning from the visit, Huo Shouyi, when accepting Chiang Kai-shek's summons, said unashamedly: "Zhang Xueliang is his own chief, and if you dare to move him during his house arrest, I will lead the troops to destroy you!" This is exactly a warning and threat to Chiang Kai-shek, and it is also his obedience and loyalty to Zhang Xueliang's orders.
