"Li Zhongzhi, your people have injured me, and we must give an explanation!" In the tent, a Khitan man with a bearded face shouted at Li Zhang with anger.

"Shut up, it's yours, it's yours to take action first, and I'll ask you to give me an explanation!" Li Zhang angrily slapped the table and shouted. The guy in front of him was named Yelu Zuoya, who was responsible for receiving them and escorting them to the Dading Prefecture of Zhongjing. However, he didn't expect that Yelu Zuoya's people had a conflict with the people of the mission today. It was obviously the Khitans who took action first, but this guy bit him back, obviously seeing Li Zhang's young, thinking he was easy to bully.

"What does Li Zhongshi mean? Are you trying to shelter your delegation?" Yelu Zuoya saw Li Zhang so tough, and immediately stared at him with a threatening look on his face.

"Hmph, you are at fault first, and you dare to ask me for someone. If you believe it or not, I will go to your emperor to sue you!" Li Zhang yelled again without showing any weakness. These Khitans are unreasonable. Li Zhang has seen such people in his previous life. There is only one way to deal with such people, that is, his voice is bigger than the other, his waist is stronger than the other, and he is even more unreasonable than the other, so that he will not suffer any losses.

"Okay, okay! Don't regret it then!" Yelu Zuoya also roared angrily at this time. If Li Zhang was not an envoy of the Song Dynasty, he might really do it. However, although his temper was irritable, he also knew the serious consequences of beating an envoy of a country, so he had no choice but to deal with Li Zhang, and after that, he left angrily.

Looking at Yelu Zuoya's back as he left, Li Zhang also snorted coldly, and then asked the wild dog behind him: "What's going on? Why do you do it?"

The one who hits people is not someone else, but the wild dog behind Li Zhang. However, even if it is not a wild dog, Li Zhang will never hand over the person. After all, this time it was the Khitans who took action first. No matter what the reason, it would be a disadvantage for the other party to take action first.

"I don't know, the Fu Bi and a Khitan were arguing about something, but the Khitan suddenly took action. I stepped forward to help, and only broke the other party's hand and one leg. That guy happened to be so arrogant. Do I want me to cut off his head at night?" The wild dog shook his head and explained, and then asked Li Zhang again. For him, killing people is easier than drinking water.

"Forget it, we should be more low-key on the territory of the Khitans. Go and invite Fu Bi!" Li Zhang said calmly at this time. Most of his anger was pretending just now, in order to overwhelm the other party in terms of momentum. However, he was also a little surprised at this time. Fu Bi was a very calm person, so why did he conflict with the other party?

The wild dog agreed and soon invited Fu Bi in, but at this time, Fu Bi's eyes turned blue, obviously suffering a loss. If it weren't for the wild dog, he might have been beaten up by Turtle.

"The subordinate officials have caused trouble for the mission, please punish the chief lieutenant!" Fu Bi was very calm and immediately apologized when he saw Li Zhang.

"Yanguo, you don't have to be too polite, but I'm curious, why did you have a conflict with the Khitans?" Li Zhang asked immediately. It was not yet second anniversary. When he was having dinner, Fu Bi had a conflict with the Khitans. Li Zhang didn't have time to learn more. Then Yelu Zuoya ran over to question the crime, but was beaten by Li Zhang.

When Li Zhang heard Li Zhang ask about the reason for the conflict, Fu Bi's face showed a look of annoyance again. Then he told the story of the conflict. Only then did Li Zhang realize that the conflict with Fu Bi was not a Khitan, but a Han person, to be precise, a Han person living in the Liao Kingdom.

Although the Liao Kingdom was established by the Khitans, because it annexed a large area of ​​Han territory, there were also a large number of Han people living in the territory. In order to manage these Han people, the Liao Kingdom even set up officials in the north and southern officials, including the northern officials in the palace tents, tribes, and vassal states, and the southern officials in the Han people's prefectures and counties, renting taxes, and military horses. Simply put, "the system of this tribe governs the Khitan and treats the Han people with the Han system."

It is also under the system of Han governing the Han Dynasty that there were also a large number of Han officials in the Liao court. For example, Han Delang, the lover of Empress Xiao, was the most representative Han official. Of course, people like Han Delang were a minority after all. During most of the period, Han officials were in a subordinate position. Even if they could participate in the core of the court, they had to be controlled everywhere. After all, Liao was dominated by Khitans, and even if Han people became officials, they would be controlled by Khitans.

However, even if the status of Han officials is not as good as that of Khitan officials, the Khitans' strategy of using Han to control Han was very successful. Especially after so many years of rule, the Han people of Liao had already regarded the Song Dynasty as their enemy. Even the scholars of Liao still believed that the Liao Kingdom was the orthodox Central Plains. The Song Dynasty stole the land of Liao Kingdom, because the Liao Kingdom established a country much earlier than the Song Dynasty, and it was the country that took over from Li Tang, so they were orthodox.

In other words, the Liao Kingdom looked at the Song Dynasty just like the Song Dynasty looked at Dali. In addition, the Liao Kingdom had strong military strength and occupied the sixteen states of Yanyun. It could go south at any time. It can be said that the Liao Kingdom would fight if he wanted to, and retreat if he wanted to retreat. The Song Dynasty had no way to deal with the Liao Kingdom. In addition, the Song Dynasty lost more and won less in the war against the Liao Kingdom, which made the Liao Kingdom have a psychological advantage. It can be said that the Liao Kingdom has always despised the Song Kingdom quite despised.

The reason why Fu Bi had a conflict with the Han official in the Liao Kingdom this time was because of the above reasons. The Han official was named Xu Song, who was a scholar and was also Yelu Zuoya's deputy. This time he assisted Yelu Zuoya in receiving the mission of the Song Dynasty. However, although Xu Song was a Han Chinese, he hated the Song Dynasty even more than the Khitans. As the deputy envoy, Fu Bi also needed to contact Xu Song frequently, and as a result, he was ridiculed by the other party many times.

Originally, Fu Bi thought about putting the overall situation first and was unwilling to have too many conflicts with Xu Song. He usually hid when he could, and he was unwilling to find the other party until he had no choice. However, he did not expect that Xu Song would be more aggressive and today he took the initiative to find Fu Bi.

After the delegation passed Xijin Prefecture, they went further ahead to the Great Wall, which was the Badaling area in later generations. In fact, Li Zhang and the others were resting at the foot of the Great Wall. Tomorrow they would go from crossing the Great Wall, which was a pity that this line of defense used to prevent nomadic peoples had already lost its function and the Liao Kingdom was lazy to repair it, so this Great Wall was already ruined.

Xu Song found Fu Bi and asked for teaching in name, but Fu Bi could only force himself to deal with it. However, as he spoke, Xu Song pointed to the Great Wall ahead and used the Great Wall to satirize the Song Dynasty. Fu Bi was so angry at that time, so he responded with a few words. He was a Jinshi. Although Xu Song was also a scholar, his literary style in Liao was not strong, so Xu Song's knowledge was far worse than him, and he was soon speechless by Fu Bi.

But what Fu Bi didn't expect was that Xu Song lived with the Khitans for many years and was also infected with a barbaric nature. After he could not argue with him, he was so angry that he started to attack him and punched him in the eye socket. He was naturally suffering from the loss. Fortunately, the wild dog saw it, so he injured Xu Song and saved him.

"What a Liao Kingdom!" Li Zhang was angry after hearing this. The one he hated the most was this kind of traitor. It seemed that no shortage of such people in any era. Speaking of which, Xu Song had met several times, but had never had any dealings. Unexpectedly, the other party had such a bad character. Even if you are an official of the Liao Kingdom, there is no need to be so hostile to the Song Dynasty.

"Guardian, I am willing to apologize to Xu Song. After all, we represent the Song Dynasty, and the two countries should still regard peace as the most important thing!" At this time, Fu Bi spoke again. He was also a little regretful now. If he could restrain himself before and not argue with Xu Song, there would be no future happenings.

"No need, Yelu Zuoya came to ask for guilt just now, and I scolded her. This matter was not our fault, so why should I apologize to them?" Li Zhang waved his hand. He was not a soft mud, just like the other party to control it. Not to mention that they took the right to take the right to take the right to take the right to take the right to do so. Even if they didn't take the right to take the right to do so, they had to be tough to the end. Barbarians like the Khitan were bullying the weak and afraid of the strong. The more you apologize, the more you were underestimated by the other party.

Seeing Li Zhang so tough, Fu Bi was moved and worried. After all, they were in the territory of Liao. Although Liao should not do anything to kill envoys, they might make things difficult for them in some matters. After all, this is their territory.

Li Zhang also saw Fu Bi's concern, and smiled calmly and said, "You don't have to worry about this matter. I have my own plans to go back and have a good sleep. Let's continue on our way tomorrow!"

Hearing Li Zhang say this, Fu Bi can only nodded, then discuss the mission with him, and then turned around and left. However, when he left, Li Zhang brought him some ointment to relieve swelling. He was half a doctor and never left the medicine box.

After seeing Fu Bi off, Li Zhang showed a meditative expression. In fact, since he entered Liao Kingdom, he has been observing the situation in Liao Kingdom. Xijin Prefecture was originally a Han territory, and there were a large number of Han people living in the territory. Compared with the Song Dynasty, the Han people in Liao Kingdom lived in a difficult life, and they also had to bear heavy taxes. They probably couldn't even have a full meal a year. At least most of the lower-class Han people Li Zhang saw were dressed in a good manner.

Compared with the poor Han people, Xu Song and other Han officials lived a luxury. They were actually the agents chosen by the Khitans to rule the Han people, equivalent to the compradors in later generations. The Khitans used their hands to suck blood from the Han people, and at the same time fattened up these upper-class Han people.
