Qin Hui's two battle reports are true, but Qin Hui's change of temper is false.
It has to be said that Qin Hui can become one of the top three. There is no need to say more about his intelligence. He is even smarter than Zhao Huan imagined.
Even Zhao Huan himself didn't know when Qin Hui realized that he had the intention to kill him, or Qin Hui probably didn't know why Zhao Huan wanted to kill him.
But he knew he was in danger.
Maybe it was because Qin Hui had something in his heart, or maybe it was because of Qin Hui's own extraordinary talent. In short, Qin Hui had already understood his situation after returning from his mission to the Kingdom of Jin.
He did not hide the two concubines of Zhao Ji, nor did he kill them to silence them. He chose to cooperate.
The two concubines did not want to continue to be the playthings of the Jin man, and they did not want to be executed on charges of uncleanness to preserve the reputation of the royal family.
So Qin Hui persuaded them, and Qin Hui sent the two concubines back to the palace, and then said that he wanted to rescue them as much as possible and also to find out the news about the Jin people.
So he and they performed a play for the people of the Kingdom of Jin.
As for the truth or falsehood here, it no longer matters. Qin Hui tied his matter to the dignity of the royal family.
Zhao Kai, who was supervising the country at the time, didn't dare to do anything to him even if he had doubts, so he could only suppress the matter directly.
After that, Qin Hui began to live a cautious life. He claimed to be sick and kept claiming to be sick. He had no choice but to go to court and persisted without saying a word.
The people in the Imperial City Department could not find any excuse for him, so his situation did not change until he entered Chang'an City.
Zhao Huan was not Zhao Kai. In Zhao Huan's eyes, Qin Hui felt that he was in more danger, so he chose to take the initiative.
And the direction of this attack is Quduan!
He saw his own danger, and also saw Zhao Huan's dissatisfaction with Qu Duan.
Qin Hui also knew who Qu Duan was, and Cao Mengde's words to describe him were perfect.
Tasteless!
It’s a pity to throw away tasteless food!
Qu Duan is this kind of person. He protects the country and the people, he protects Shaanxi Province, he has sharp eyesight, and he is good at fighting.
However, he only protects his own one-third of an acre of land, and only protects the people under his rule. He has a sharp vision but no public heart. He is good at fighting but is arrogant and unwilling to succumb to others.
His subordinates dared to blatantly harm Liu Qi, so there was no need to guess what Qu Duan was in Zhao Huan's heart.
So when Qu Duan was elevated by Zhao Huangao, he took the initiative to attach himself to him, but his attachment was not to give Qu Duan protection, but to buy him time.
He coaxed Qu Duan to be happy, and then became a military counselor beside him, allowing him to know Qu Duan's various secrets.
You can even have access to many generals and commanders in his army.
Then when Qu Duan came up with something, he handed these things over to Tong Guan of the Imperial City Division without hesitation, and assisted Tong Guan in luring the main force of Qu Duan's subordinates to his residence.
Cooperating with the spies of the Imperial City Division to capture them all, Liu Xi had already raided Quduan's camp with elite soldiers and horses, and controlled all the soldiers under his command.
When Qu Duan looked at the two battle reports and Qin Hui's, he seemed to have felt that something was wrong, and also when he saw the heads of his trusted generals.
He went crazy.
"Foolish king!" Qu Duan did not plead guilty, he just couldn't help but curse, "I, Qu Duan, serve the country and the people, why do you bully me, why do you do this to me!
Behind Wu Jie is the land of Sichuan, Shu and Hanzhong. At worst, he can retreat to Hanzhong and plan for the future.
If Li Yanxian wanted to survive, he could have fled to the east of Hedong. It would be unwise to insist on regaining Shaanzhou.
Putting yourself under the attack from three sides by the Jin people of Xixia and Tubo, how can these people become our generals of the Song Dynasty, how can they command one side!
Loyal but incompetent, these generals are more terrifying than traitors!
Foolish King, if you don’t listen to a certain family, you will definitely die badly and the Song Dynasty will perish! "
Qu Duan's insults made everyone present look very ugly. Tong Guan even pulled out the sword from his waist to kill him, but Zhao Huan raised his hand to stop him.
"Actually, I want to know another thing even more." Zhao Huan did not rush to kill Qu Duan, but looked at Qu Duan's face with some hesitation.
"Previously, the Imperial City Department reported that a golden scout sneaked into the city, but suddenly disappeared. I really want to know, does this matter have anything to do with you?"
"Bah!" A mouthful of thick phlegm spat on Zhao Huan's robe, Qu Duan stopped talking, and Tong Guan's face turned red after seeing this scene.
"Keep it down." Zhao Huan stopped Tong Guan again, and even warned, "If anything happens to Qu Duan in prison, your Imperial City Secretary will have to bury him with him."
This sentence made Tong Guan tremble all over, and he immediately bowed and accepted the order, not daring to have any other thoughts.
After everyone left, Zhao Huan looked at Qin Hui who shut up again.
"Is there any connection between Qu Duan and the Jinren?"
"Your Majesty, no!" Qin Hui said this time clearly and without any hesitation.
"Are you so sure?"
"Qu Duan is narrow-minded. He may like to bring personal emotions into his work, but he is not stupid, and he is even less likely to commit treason."
After Qin Hui finished speaking, he didn't dare to say another word. The atmosphere and words were just right.
"I understand, please step back." Zhao Huan didn't want to say anything more to Qin Hui, so he asked him to leave directly. After that, before Zhao Huan could rest, waves of courtiers came.
The leader was Li Gang, who once pulled Qu Duan down.
"Your Majesty, Qu Duan is a narrow-minded person, but he is definitely not a useless person, nor is he a treasonous person who surrendered to the enemy. I hope your Majesty can give him a lighter punishment!"
Zhao Huan sounded familiar with these words, a narrow-minded guy, and Zhao Huan also seemed to know how he could be so liked by many civil servants and officials.
"Prime Minister Li is recovering from his injuries. I understand what I am doing."
"Your Majesty!" Li Gang seemed unwilling to give up, while Zhao Huan was really tired.
"Li Xiang, just watch. I won't kill the ministers rashly, but I don't want others to think of me as a fool!"
Seeing His Majesty being so angry in front of him for the first time, Li Gang did not argue with reason for the first time, but slowly took half a step back.
"Your Majesty has done a great job."
“In the battle of Chang’an, the royal family suffered hundreds of casualties, nearly 300 civil and military casualties, and thousands of minor officials below.
The casualties of the soldiers have exceeded 10,000, and thousands of civilians have died due to the impact.
This battle has reached this point.
My situation is very miserable, but the golden man is not much better!
Pengju, Zhang Jun and Guo Yaoshi are stationed in the north. Wanyan Zongwang is no match for Pengju. Wanyan Hungchi can only harass Zhang Jun, but dare not fight head-on with him. Victory is only a matter of time.
Guo Yaoshi on Shandong Road is working steadily. Although Wanyan Ali has many reinforcements, the ingredients are extremely mixed. He wants to use the war to consolidate the soldiers.
But Yaoshi Guo didn't give him any chance.
The northern battlefield has reached this point, and they will not cause any trouble.
Many of the famous generals of the Jin Kingdom were defeated by the Song Dynasty.
Now I really can only see if I can deceive Na Nianhan. "
Zhao Huan's words made Li Gang ponder again. Zhao Huan's words told him that all the war was in his heart, and he also understood the current situation.
So it shows that Zhao Huan did have his own plan regarding Qu Duan.
The night was getting darker and darker. Liu Qi, who returned to the camp, already knew that Quduan Camp was confiscated by his elder brother, and also knew that Quduan was thrown into prison after he left.
Liu Qi didn't know whether Qu Duan's imprisonment had anything to do with what he had said to Zhao Huan before, and he didn't want to know.
But just when Liu Qi was about to lead his troops and horses to the city wall for inspection again, an uninvited guest came to his camp.
"Your Majesty's secret order, please give the general a look!" Zeng Ji brought Zhao Huan's secret edict to Liu Qi's camp, and left the camp with Liu Qi and all his troops without anyone knowing. , entered the vicinity of Beicheng.
At the same time, Liu Xi, who was responsible for guarding Quduan Camp, was counterattacked by an oversight. A captain who was die-hardly loyal to Quduan pretended to obey Liu Xi, and then took the opportunity to kill the camp guard again.
With thousands of soldiers and generals who were equally loyal to Qu Duan, they rushed out of the camp guarded by Liu Xi before Liu Xi's army encircled him, and rushed directly towards the prison where Qu Duan was imprisoned.
Fires were set everywhere along the way, causing complete chaos in Chang'an City.
In the prison, the primary schools of the Imperial City Division who had just breathed a sigh of relief were panicked by the sudden chaos. The deputy left behind by Tong Guan who had just left could not react immediately.
By the time he was arranging his troops, the soldiers under Qu Duan's command had already charged in.
After a fight, they successfully rushed into the prison, found their general, and rescued Qu Duan from the prison.
At the same time, another group of soldiers and horses in Chang'an City also found an opportunity in the chaos. The North City was in chaos, where Qu Duan's soldiers and horses had been stationed there before.
Now they heard that their general had been captured by Zhao Huan. He had been guarded before, so they had no chance. Now the chaos in the city had begun to get a little out of hand. After they combined their efforts, they killed the soldiers guarding them and opened the city gate directly.
Wait for their generals to join together and then escape together.
At this time, the hidden soldiers and horses also revealed their true appearance, the elite scouts who had sneaked in early.
They sent out smoke to signal the army outside the city, then aggravated the chaos in the city, and led the army outside the city to directly attack the north gate, hoping to take advantage of this night to break through Chang'an!
After receiving the news, Marshal Zuo Jianjun of the Jin Dynasty, Wanyan Wanyan, who was also the brother of Wanyan Yinshu brother who died in the battle, couldn't help his impulse and immediately rushed to the north gate with his troops and horses.
He wanted to directly break the city to avenge his eldest brother and massacre Chang'an.
But when he rushed in with his troops and horses, not only did he see the chaotic Chang'an City, but he also ran into Song Army General Liu Qi who had been ambushing him for a long time!
"His Majesty has issued a secret edict. Qu Duan's soldiers are very loyal to him. They are selfish and forget about public affairs. They will definitely forcefully rescue Qu Duan regardless of the safety of the court, and they will even lead a wolf into the house.
Ask the general to go to the north gate to ambush the Jin people who enter the city! "
This is the secret edict Liu Qi received.
At this time, Qu Duan, who was rescued, also learned about the chaos in the city from his own subordinates and the defeated troops fleeing the city, and he immediately made a decision.
"Instead of going to the north gate, go to the west gate instead, now, immediately!"
