Zhang Mu was released.

Qin Hui looked at Zhang Mu coldly and said with a smile: "You know a lot."

Zhang Mu said: "We have been paying attention to the situation in Bianjing."

"Who are your people in Bianjing?"

"I'm afraid I can't tell Mr. Qin about this."

"You want to cooperate with me, but you hide it from me at the same time?" Qin Hui sat back on the chair, picked up the teacup, and drank slowly.

This makes it difficult to see Qin Hui's true thoughts.

Zhang Mu couldn't be sure whether Qin Hui was moved, or whether he was deliberately so easy to get words from him.

"Even if I want to inform Mr. Qin, I'm afraid I can't do anything. It's impossible for me to know at this level."

"Who is the person who does a lot of business with you in Hebei?" Qin Hui asked again.

"I'm afraid Mr. Qin knows better than me."

"I don't know." Qin Hui said concisely, "It's definitely not me."

"Then I don't even know that there are countless private smugglers on the Hebei border. Qin Xianggong sits in the Song Dynasty temple. I don't know. How can a Liaoyang scholar who joined the army know about it?"

Qin Hui then said: "Then do you want to know the details of the Song Dynasty in Yanjing, and do you want to know the details of the Song Dynasty in Shangjing?"

"Appreciate further details."

"Who is the mastermind behind the massive smuggling in Hebei and who have you had contact with?" Qin Hui continued to ask.

"Qin Xianggong, it's better not to embarrass me. I'm just a mere scholar joining the army."

"You, Cao Shenjun, a scholar from Liaoyang Prefecture, followed the Jin army in the expedition to Goryeo?" Qin Hui's face darkened, "Do you think I am a fool who can be fooled by others?"

Zhang Mu's face looked a little ugly.

"You want to discuss business with me, but you also hide your true identity and intentions?"

"Qin Xianggong forgives the sin. This is also a forced and helpless act."

"If you are unwilling to be honest and still want to get what you want from me, should I say that Jin is arrogant or stupid?" Qin Hui's tone was cold, giving people a strong sense of oppression.

Just his deep eyes made people dare not look directly into them.

"Xiangong Qin, please calm down. I am a member of the staff of Xianggong Xiyin. I will follow Xianggong Wanyan Xiyin eastward to Goryeo to protect Goryeo."

Qin Hui continued to ask: "How many people did Wanyan Xiyin bring?"

"This is just like asking Qin Xianggong how many troops the Song Dynasty invested in Goryeo. Qin Xianggong will definitely not answer this question. Similarly, I can't answer Qin Xianggong's question."

"You don't want to say anything, and you want me to help you kill Yue Fei. Isn't it a joke?"

"I just made a condition."

"I don't like any of your conditions."

There are a hundred doubts in Zhang Mu's heart. Qin Hui doesn't like him?

"Go back." Qin Hui said, "Otherwise I will kill you."

Zhang Mu did not dare to say any more. He had already taken a huge risk by going south to Beijing this time.

Zhang Mu left in a hurry.

He was puzzled. He felt that when he met Qin Hui this time, he had an indescribable feeling.

Qin Hui rejected him directly, but something seemed wrong.

It wasn't until he left Kaijing and on the way back that Zhang Mu suddenly realized.

Qin Hui's attitude can be said to be very covert.

First of all, being able to leave Beijing already shows that Qin Hui is able to accept negotiations.

Secondly, after he put forward a series of conditions, Qin Hui brought the topic to several points to put pressure on himself, either to test or to make excuses.

Zhang Mu couldn't help but sweat on his palms.

Before he went to see Qin Hui, he was obviously calm and composed, and when he first met Qin Hui, he was also very calm and composed.

But after talking to Qin Hui for a few words, he became nervous.

The rhythm was suddenly caught by Qin Hui.

Everything that was discussed next was discussed at Qin Hui's pace.

Did Qin Hui really not smuggle in Hebei?

Zhang Mu didn't believe this, but Zhang Mu couldn't help but sigh in his heart: It was really not easy for Qin Hui to become the ruler of the Song Dynasty at such a young age.

He thought about it again and realized that he could actually recover if he went back.

At least Qin Hui is willing to continue talking.

Any master will not explain his words clearly when dealing with some shady things. They will hide many secret words in their words.

Or even say it in the opposite direction.

This is the most basic quality of a qualified politician.

If you cannot do this, it will be impossible to climb to a high position.

If these methods are used to perfection, it will be very difficult to influence this politician.

That night, Qin Hui began to write a letter to Zhao Guan's family. He told Zhao Guan's family that Wang Kai, the leader of Goryeo, died suddenly, and that the current situation in Goryeo had further entered a state of protracted war.

Later, he expressed how much he missed Zhao Guan's family day and night, and wished he could fly back to Tokyo immediately to see the saint.

The implication is that Wang Kai is dead and my mission is completed. Can I go back?

What Qin Hui said is indeed true. The situation in Goryeo has indeed entered a state of seesaw.

The Jin army carried out large-scale sieges on Xijing many times, and even climbed to the top of Xijing's city walls several times, but in the end they all failed.

The Song army in Xijing paid a heavy price and defended Xijing.

The Jin army carried out large-scale massacres in northern Goryeo and the central areas, so that the northern and central areas were already thousands of miles away. Such tactics also brought huge pressure to the Song army.

Both sides were unable to conquer each other, but it was the Koreans who were unlucky.

However, whether he was constrained by the situation in Hebei or the situation in Goryeo, Han Shizhong gritted his teeth and dispatched all Fuzhou soldiers and horses.

Liaoyang is only two hundred miles away from Gaizhou, and most of the way there is flat land.

By September 6, the Jin army that set out from Liaoyang was already very close to Gaizhou.

However, they were in a hurry to support Gaizhou, but unexpectedly Zhang Rong returned to the ship on that day and made an astonishing move in the Fifth Song-Jin War.

On the eve of the Battle of Gaizhou, Zhang Rong actually sailed away the warship.

And dragged everyone away.

Later, when Jiangwutang analyzed this battle of Liaodong, it focused on Zhang Rong himself.

They came to a conclusion: Zhang Rong was a man who had not read military books and was not restricted by any art of war.

Where did he sail the warship?

Xiaoling River outlet!

Where is the outlet of Xiaoling River?

About fifty miles south of Jinzhou.

Where is Jinzhou?

Jinzhou is the easternmost end of the Liaoxi Corridor.

There was no Shanhaiguan in this era, but the Western Liaoning Corridor did start from near there and extended all the way to the northeast.

The Western Liaoning Corridor is narrow and long, with mountains to the west and the sea to the east.

This creates a unique relationship between the Yanyun area and the hinterland of Liaodong.

If the troops of the Liaodong regime enter Yanyun, they must go through the Liaoxi Corridor.

The easternmost end of the Western Liaoning Corridor is Jinzhou. After Jinzhou, there is the flat and fertile Liaohe Plain.

This determines that fighting in the Western Liaoning Corridor will have only one characteristic: a head-on encounter.
