Upon hearing that the Jurchen envoy was there, Zhang Hengshuo immediately sat up.
During this period, he paid close attention to the movements of the Jurchens.
Because he was very clear about why he was placed here by his superiors.
This was to guard against the Jurchens.
Now we hear that the Jurchen envoy has arrived.
They immediately began to speculate about what the other party was there for.
He then immediately invited the Jurchen envoy in.
After a brief conversation, he also learned the purpose of the Jurchen envoy.
They were to lead a large army to support Li Qin, in accordance with the agreement between Li Qin and their Khan.
They wanted to pass through Liaodong and hoped he would allow them to pass.
There's absolutely nothing wrong with what he said.

Li Qin replied that he agreed to let him bring a large army to provide support.
Now, as agreed, they have arrived with a large army, intending to pass through Liaodong to support Li Qin.

Zhang Hengshuo had no reason to refute.
However, he was clear about his fundamental purpose in guarding Liaodong.
Zhang Hengshuo still harbored suspicions towards the Jurchens.
However, Zhang Hengshuo eventually agreed to the Jurchens' request to allow them passage through Liaodong.
After all, in the letter Li Qin gave him, he was instructed to let the Jurchens pass if they really went to provide support.
After confirming that the Jurchens had left and posed no threat to Liaodong, he led a large army to support them.
Although Zhang Hengshuo agreed to let the Jurchens pass through, he still harbored suspicion towards them.
That means they can't enter the city, and the cities in Liaodong can supply them with what they need.
They cannot linger in Liaodong; they must leave as soon as possible.
The Jurchen envoys all agreed.
Immediately after the Jurchen envoy left, Zhang Hengshuo wrote a letter to Li Qin reporting everything that had just happened and the news brought by the Jurchen envoy.
Meanwhile, in a small room, the personal guard who had just led the Jurchen envoy in wrote down everything that had just happened and sent it by fast horse to Shanhaiguan.
