Chapter 630 Qin Hui's Trick

On November 19, the day Wanyan Xiyin decided to march south to Goryeo with a large number of troops, Qin Hui, who was in the capital, also received a secret letter from Zhao Guan's family.

Rather than saying it is a secret letter, it is better to say it is a reminder letter from Wang Kai and other Goryeo emperors and ministers.

However, this is a letter of reminder, but not a letter of despair.

There is a difference between the two.

Zhao Guanjia briefly pointed out what might happen next.

1. The Jin army went south, attacked Xijing, and supported the Koreans in Xijing to go south to Qinwang.

Second, the Jin army goes south and fights in person. The Song army will face the elite divisions of the Jin army head-on.

Moreover, Zhao Guanjia pointed out the core point of the current situation more concisely and comprehensively: to protect Wang Kai.

Because Wang Kai currently has only one role, that is, the legal representative of the Koryo Kingdom.

With him in hand, the Song army had great righteousness, and could label others as rebels at any time, and summon the powerful nobles from all over Goryeo for their own use.

But at the same time, Zhao Guanjia also pointed out the final outcome of Wang Kai, the leader of Goryeo, in a concise and comprehensive manner.

On this day, Qin Hui met Han Shizhong.

He said: "The news of Jin Fushi's defeat should have reached the Kingdom of Jin. The Jin army will not give up. This is related to the depth of the military towns of the two countries."

Han Shizhong nodded, naturally he agreed with Qin Hui's statement.

"Once the Jin people go south, their first target is Xijing." Qin Hui continued, "If I were a Jin person, I would support the pro-Jin Koreans in Xijing, summon the nobles in the north of Goryeo to form a large army and go south, and even send the Jin army to the south.

The elite are mixed in."

Geng Zhu said: "Qin Xianggong was wise. The Jin army's move was to compress the war to the south of the Yalu River, and at the same time turn the country of Goryeo into a big battlefield, and use the Goryeo people to prolong the war and make our army passive."

Han Shizhong said: "The current New Agricultural Policy in Kaijing has a remarkable effect, and the leader of Goryeo is in our hands. We are here to fight steadily and use Goryeo to support our army without consuming too many supplies from the court."

Qin Hui then said: "If the Jin army attacks Xijing, will we support it?"

"We still have one of our troops in Xijing," Geng Zhe reminded.

"But if the Jin army is coming in force and has strong troops and horses, and Xijing cannot support it, should it support it?"

Han Shizhong said: "The Jin people are good at fighting in the cold winter. Now that winter has entered, it is really unfavorable for our army to go north to Xijing to fight. It is not that we can support it if we want to."

Qin Hui continued: "What if the Jin army takes Xijing and supports some forces in Xijing?"

Qin Hui's tone had a sense of oppression from a superior.

After all, he is in power and is an imperial envoy sent by the emperor.

On one side, Geng didn't dare to speak.

Han Shizhong said: "Qin Xianggong, the weather, place and people are favorable, but the weather has a great influence on our army. Our army is not familiar with the north of Goryeo. This is not a matter of layout. We should act cautiously now."

"What if Xijing falls into the hands of the Jin?"

Geng Zuo then said: "Commander Han, I think we can send an additional group of troops north to garrison in Xijing to resist the Jin army."

"Then let's do this, send Zhang Qing there." Han Shizhong didn't seem to want to discuss this issue with Qin Hui.

After all, Qin Hui was sent to deal with political issues, not military issues.

He felt that Qin Hui interfered a little too much.

Qin Hui didn't seem to say anything more. He stood up and said, "Han Shuai, I have something else to do. I'll take my leave."

"Geng, give me a gift as a gift to Mr. Qin."

"No need, you are busy."

After Qin Hui came out, he got on the carriage and swerved to the residence of King Zhao Chen of Qi.

"Your Highness, Mr. Qin has come to ask for an audience."

Zhao Chen was cooking seafood and was stunned for a moment after hearing this.

Qin Hui?

What is he here for?

Zhao Chen changed his clothes and took the people out.

It was cold and windy outside. When Zhao Chen saw Qin Hui, he saluted and said, "Mr. Qin."

Qin Hui quickly returned the greeting: "I have met His Highness."

"Mr. Qin, please come in." Zhao Chen made a gesture of invitation.

Qin Hui had a smile on his face.

These two enemies who had been enemies in the court now behaved politely.

Qin Hui was quite surprised. He felt that Zhao Chen had indeed matured a lot.

The battlefield of life and death can indeed shape a person.

What's more, Zhao Chen has read poetry and books since he was a child, so he has a solid foundation.

The reason why I was impulsive at that time was probably because I was young and energetic.

Think about Qin Hui in the first year of Jingkang, who was also an angry young man who didn't know the heights of the world, but later became a veteran in the officialdom?

After Qin Hui entered, Zhao Chen ordered someone to make tea. Zhao Chen smiled and said: "Qin Xianggong came just in time. Xiao Wang cooked some seafood. It's not bad. Let's taste it together."

"It's my honor." Qin Hui also laughed and rolled up his sleeves, looking eager to try.

Those who didn't know better thought the two were good friends who hadn't seen each other for many years.

The people below brought the seafood, and the two of them tasted it carefully.

Although Qin Hui thought it tasted terrible, he praised it full of praise and ate several more, as if he had never tasted such delicious food.

"Xiangong Qin visited my humble residence and I don't know what to teach him."

"It's nothing. Your Majesty has come to write a letter." Qin Hui said suddenly.

Zhao Chen was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "That is an important matter for the family and the country that His Majesty and Mr. Qin discussed. How can Xiao Wang have any qualifications to interfere?"

"But before I come to Goryeo, His Majesty said that I can discuss all matters with the King of Qi."

Zhao Chen put down his chopsticks, wiped his mouth, and his eyes brightened obviously: "Did your Majesty really say that?"

"That's right." Qin Hui said sincerely. He also took out the letter Zhao Ning gave him and presented it to Zhao Chen, "Please have your Highness read it."

Zhao Chen hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help but take it. He read the letter from Zhao Guan's family carefully.

After reading it, he took a deep breath and sighed: "What your Majesty thinks is beyond the reach of this little king."

"Your Highness, the Jin army will definitely go south and attack Xijing." Qin Hui said solemnly, "Xijing is related to the next situation and is an important city in the north."

"What does Qin Xianggong mean?"

"Your Highness has great righteousness and the will of the people. If Your Highness goes to Xijing, the morale of the armies will be high and they will be able to stop the Jin army's cavalry."

Zhao Chen did not expect that Qin Hui would come to persuade him to go north.

But then I thought about it, would Qin Hui be so kind?

He looked at Qin Hui's extremely sincere face and felt that Qin Hui was simply a role model for others.

All he needs to do is carve the words "loyalty to the emperor and the country" on his face.

The two chatted for a while, and Qin Hui left.

At noon, Zhao Chen went to see Han Shizhong.

After hearing Zhao Chen's request, Han Shizhong was a little surprised: "Xijing will be the target of the Jin army's attack next, and His Highness cannot go there."

"Why?"

"Because I want to ensure the safety of His Highness."

"But if Xiao Wang can contribute, why should Han Shuai stop Xiao Wang?"

"Why does Your Highness suddenly want to go to Xijing?"

"Xianggong Qin came to see me."

"Qin Xianggong really understands justice!" Han Shizhong couldn't directly say that Qin Hui was instigating Zhao Chen, "If His Highness has something wrong, I can't explain it to His Majesty."

"Your Majesty knows that Xiao Wang is here. Since Your Majesty sent Xiao Wang to the border, he naturally hopes that Xiao Wang can do something. Please Han Shuai agree to Xiao Wang's request!"

Zhao Chen suddenly bowed to Han Shizhong and his tone became quite excited.

"Xiangong Qin may have done it on purpose..."

"Xiao Wang knows!"

"Why is your Highness like this?"

Zhao Chen raised his head and said, "Xiao Wang just wants to do his part."
