As expected by Qin Hui, Liu Si, the deputy envoy of the Kingdom of Jin, arrived at Qin Hui's house just after dark.
Liu Si is a member of Wanyan Zonghan, and he once served as the transfer envoy on the Hebei Road. Now Wanyan Zonghan's faction has been demoted, and he has been demoted as the deputy envoy of the Kingdom of Jin to the Song Dynasty. Of course, he is a Han from the Liao Kingdom. First of all, language is not a problem, nor is his way of thinking.
question.
What's more important is that when Liu Si came to visit Qin Hui, Emperor Zhao Gou had given permission, "If there is an emergency, you can contact the Prime Minister directly."
Outsiders don't know whether Liu Si came to Qin Hui to discuss business or private matters. Maybe he had urgent matters and wanted to contact the Prime Minister!
Qin Hui asked Liu Si to sit down in the guest hall. Qin Hui asked, "Is Ambassador Liu here because of what happened last night?"
"I heard that Chen Qing's envoy was assassinated last night, and the assassin told the truth. But I want to solemnly state that we did not send an assassin, and this matter was not done by us!"
Qin Hui smiled and said: "There is no evidence, and we have not confirmed that it was done by the Kingdom of Jin. We can't just because someone shouted on the street, 'I am the prime minister,' and then everyone thinks he is the prime minister? So it will never be because
With just one word from Jurchen, it will be determined that it was done by the Kingdom of Jin, so you can rest assured."
Liu Si shook his head, "I know you don't have any evidence, but as the envoy of the Jin Kingdom, I still need to solemnly state on behalf of the Jin Kingdom that this matter was not done by us."
Qin Hui nodded, "I can accept your country's statement."
Liu Si handed a very formal declaration to Qin Hui. Qin Hui took it and said: "I will forward it to the emperor tomorrow!"
"Then I have to send another letter to the Prime Minister!"
Liu Si took out Wan Yanchang's letter from his arms. This was the real reason Liu Si came to Qin Hui tonight. He came to deliver a letter to Wan Yanchang.
Qin Hui opened the letter and read it, frowning, Wan Yanchang was actually coming to Lin'an again.
"I understand. Is there anything else, Ambassador Liu?"
"There is nothing else. If Qin Xianggong needs a reply, just give the letter to me directly."
After Liu Si stood up to leave, Qin Hui pondered and said: "You can send a message back. This time Chen Qing personally led an army of 100,000 to come to An."
"I've heard something too, but is the news accurate?"
Qin Hui nodded, "The news is accurate!"
Liu Sigong cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Prime Minister Qin, for announcing this. I'll go back and report right away."
After Liu Si left, Qin Hui returned to the study and paced back and forth, feeling a little upset. Wan Yanchang asked him a difficult question.
"Master, what happened?" Wang showed up again without losing any opportunity.
She had a very strong desire to participate in politics and could always interfere in government affairs through her husband, such as turning against Chen Qing. This was Wang's suggestion to use Chen Qing, a common enemy, to form an alliance with the Queen Mother to ensure that Qin Hui's position would not fall.
She often went to the palace to find Queen Mother Wei, and she could also convey some of the Queen Mother's thoughts to Qin Hui, such as what happened in the past two days, Zhu Shengfei's return to the throne, and Queen Mother Wei's wishes expressed to Wang after Zhao Ding was overthrown, hoping that Qin Hui
To help realize it, Qin Hui did it.
After Liu Si left today, my husband was in a low mood. Something must have happened.
Qin Hui sighed, "Talan gave me a letter. The letter said that the Emperor of Jin wanted to reach a permanent armistice agreement with the court, and even promised to return Bianliang to the court."
"Master, isn't this a good thing?"
Qin Hui shook his head, "How can such a good thing happen? The Kingdom of Jin has the conditions."
"What conditions does Jin Guo propose?"
"The Kingdom of Jin wants to join forces with the imperial court to destroy Chen Qing."
"Ah! Is this possible?"
Qin Hui sneered, "I don't know if it will be possible in the future, but it is definitely not possible now. Chen Qing has a hundred thousand troops in Lin'an. If he knows about this, the consequences will be disastrous."
Wang's face changed, and she said after a while: "Sir, will Chen Qing really do this? He will find an opportunity to kill the official family, leaving the official family without heirs, and then directly support the late emperor."
Qin Hui shook his head, "Chen Qing is not a fool. He is actually doing this to make a wedding dress for the late emperor. The Song Dynasty still has an army of 500,000. Once these armies are loyal to the late emperor, the late emperor will get rid of Chen Qing's control. He will definitely use
The crime of regicide wiped out Chen Qing's nine tribes, so Chen Qing had no choice but to rebel, go full circle and return to the starting point, and still end up with a reputation as a regicide, and was cast aside by the world, so why bother?"
"When will Tart Lazy come over?"
"This is where the trouble lies. Talanan is very good at picking opportunities. Anyway, I have already told Liu Si and asked him to report it. Now Chen Qing's 100,000 troops are in Lin'an. Talanan comes here at this time. He is just looking for death!"
While the couple was talking, the housekeeper reported in the yard, "The King of County is here. He said he has something urgent to ask to see my husband!"
Qin Hui nodded, "Bring him here!"
Not long after, Wang Bo was taken to the study and said urgently: "Uncle, aunt, my nephew just got the news that a huge fleet of ships came up the Qiantang River outside the city, and there were troops on board!"
Qin Hui and Wang looked at each other and realized at the same time that Chen Qing was finally here.
Chen Qing's hundreds of large-scale ships were moored on the water outside Xiaoshan County, Yuezhou. The main reason why they were placed outside was because they were worried that the imperial court would find out the source of the ships, which would bring disaster to the Zheng family.
What entered the Qiantang River were four hundred large ships of 3,000 stone, which were also large in size and could be clearly seen from the top of the city.
The distance between Qiantang County and the Qiantang River varies. The narrowest point is only two miles. Standing on the top of the city, you can see the situation in the river, but the widest point is ten miles, mainly in the northeast direction.
Chen Qing did not cruise on the Qiantang River. He had detailed parking and garrison maps in his hand. After confirming the map, Chen Qing immediately ordered the troops to dock at the shore, and the army went ashore and began to set up camp in the southeast of Qiantang County.
This is all wasteland. The land has long been expropriated by the court to expand the county. However, the court is financially tight and has no money to implement it. However, farmers are not allowed to plant crops, causing the original fertile land to become wasteland and the land to be consolidated.
There aren't many plants and it's very flat, which is just right for garrisoning.
The big tents were transported to the wasteland one by one. They were all large leather tents captured from Xixia. Each big tent covered an area of almost an acre and could accommodate dozens of people. This kind of leather tent was warm in winter and cool in summer, and had the greatest advantage
It is not afraid of fire attack.
The soldiers began to dig trenches, erect camp fences, and erect tents one after another. The soldiers also dug a canal and installed water trucks on the riverside to introduce the clear Qiantang River water into the canal, so that the camp had drinking water.
The first batch of 20,000 soldiers and a large amount of supplies disembarked, and the fleet immediately headed to Xiaoshan waters to transport the second batch of soldiers and supplies.
The fleet came and went, making three trips at night, transporting 60,000 soldiers and all food supplies outside Lin'an City. Xiaoshan County left 10,000 soldiers, on the one hand to guard the ships, and on the other hand, they also needed
Go to Jiangnan to purchase a large amount of fresh ingredients to ensure the supply of the army.
As the sky gradually dawned, a majestic camp appeared outside the east city of Qiantang County. The camp covered an area of several thousand acres and had more than 2,000 large tents. The tents were neatly arranged and stretched for more than 20 miles. It felt strange.
It's not much smaller than the county town. Standing on the top of the city gives people a dizzy feeling.
There are several camps within camps in the camp. One is the warehouse camp, which is surrounded by fences and covers an area of hundreds of acres. The other is the medical camp, where soldiers are diagnosed and treated when they are sick. There are nearly a hundred military camps, and the third is the emperor camp.
, also surrounded more than a dozen tents with camp fences, with soldiers standing guard inside. They said they were protecting, but in fact they were guarding.
There is also a camp within a camp, which is Chen Qing's Wang Camp. It is located in the middle of the camp and covers an area of 120 acres. It is divided into two. There are nearly a hundred large tents inside, and the largest Chinese military commander's tent is also inside, occupying an area of 120 acres.
There are three acres of land, the front part is the official housing area, and the back part is Chen Qing's residential area.
At dawn, Emperor Zhao Gou, surrounded by thousands of guards, came to the east wall. The scene in front of him stunned him.
