During the Warlord Era Hu was a member of the Yunnan clique, one of whose actions was to expel Yunnan Gov. Tang Jiyao from office. Together with Long Yun, Hu was appointed commander of the 39th Army.

He was a member of the chief staff of the Military Committee during World War II.

During the Chinese Civil War Hu fought with the 11th Army Corps against the Chinese Communists, and was killed in southeastern Guangxi in 1949.
