After saying goodbye to the 1,000 troops from Zhang Ji's troops on the train, Du Zhongxiao took his generals back to the city. He entered the city gate and said, "Tonight, the back of the general's mansion will hold wine, I wish General Zhang and his party a smooth journey. The commanders and above of the army camp will attend the banquet, and the rest of the troops will make their own arrangements."

The generals thanked each other. Li Fugui said to Yang Wenguang beside him: "General, General Zhang led his troops to Beijing this time, I wonder what the result of the martial arts exercise was?"

Yang Wenguang said: "According to my estimate, we may not be able to have the advantage in the trial of soldiers and generals. But if the two armies fight, they will lose if they lose."

Li Fugui shook his head: "It should be like this. However, after the Battle of Hue Du, most of the generals and veterans of Hequ Road were transferred away, and now they are all newcomers, so it is hard to say. Although General Zhang is a powerful general, he has never done anything in commanding the battle."

Yang Wenguang laughed and said, "After judging, no matter what soldiers the brave general leads, he will still be brave generals. You must trust General Zhang."

Li Fugui disagreed and suddenly said, "If the general is so sure, then what if we bet on a host? If General Zhang wins the battle, I will hold a drink in the official restaurant to welcome him, and the general will come together."

Yang Wenguang laughed and said, "Why don't you dare? If Zhang general's three tests are all mournful, I will serve wine there and apologize for him!"

On the second day, as soon as Du Zhongxiao arrived at the official hall, Chen Xiliang came over and said, "Jings commander, Hebin County came to report, and the Khitan envoy asked for a visit."

Du Zhongxiao said: "Hebin County? Is that someone sent by Yelu Chongyuan? There has been no news for several months. Why did the envoys be sent at this time?"

Chen Xiliang said: "According to the officials, the court sent envoys to the Khitan a few days ago to congratulate the King of Dan and his birthday. The envoy of the Khitan mother was Yelu Chongyuan on the side of the side, and the envoy of the Khitan king came to Yelu Hongji in Youzhou. Although both of them were not offended, the court finally recognized the title of the Khitan king. Chongyuan would definitely not be willing to be promoted to become emperor. The Hequ Road was just behind the Xijing Road, so Chongyuan must send envoys to test it."

Du Zhongxiao nodded: "That's what it means. In the leap July, the weather is cold and the plants are withered and yellow. It's time for the Khitans to fight. Chongyuan and Hong Ji each prepared for nearly a year, and they didn't do one in winter. How to determine the true story of the Khitan!"

While talking, Du Zhongxiao sat down after he arrived at his case. After thinking about it, he said to Chen Xiliang: "Shishou is also in charge of foreign affairs. You ordered Hebin County to bring the Khitan envoy to Shengzhou. At the same time, he wrote the Privy Council and the Hedong Road Supervisor to explain the matter."

Chen Xiliang agreed to the promise and left quickly, returned to his judge's hall, and ordered the public officials to write official documents.

Du Zhongxiao's official office is small, with only a few cases in it, and dealing with emergency affairs. The state affairs belong to Chen Xiliang's signature hall, and the military affairs belong to Li Fugui's strategic judge's official office. The two of them go to Du Zhongxiao's official office every day to report and obey orders.

In this era, the offices of the yamen were somewhat similar to those of the later generations. For example, Chen Xiliang's signing room was divided into many cases, and one case was actually a small office area, marked by a large case, where the public officials responsible for similar affairs worked there, and someone was in charge of the affairs. Li Fugui's Legal Judge's Office was similar to this, and the same department was divided into several cases, each with its own responsibilities.

Officials with their own official offices are generally important figures in the yamen. In addition to the chief office of the prefect, the magistrate has the magistrate's office, and the magistrate's office is the magistrate's office, which is the magistrate's office. The magistrate's office is the magistrate's office, and the magistrate's office is the magistrate's office, and the magistrate's office is the magistrate's office. Other officials do not have their own official offices and work in these offices. The magistrate's office is also called the magistrate's office, and the magistrate's office is also called the magistrate's office, which is collectively called the magistrate's office, and the magistrate's office is the main one. It can be seen from the name that the magistrate's office corresponds to the magistrate's office, which is mainly military, while the magistrate's office is mainly civil. In this era, the magistrate's office is mostly empty, and the magistrate's office is also in charge of civil affairs, and the position is above the magistrate's office. The magistrate's office and the magistrate's office are in charge of civil affairs. The magistrate's office and the magistrate's office are in charge of civil affairs. The magistrate's office and the magistrate's office are in charge of civil affairs. The magistrate's office and the magistrate's office are in charge of civil affairs. They use seals for military affairs.

As for the managers who have low actual status joining the army, there is a separate manager's office because they manage the prison. In later generations, the manager's joining the army is somewhat similar to the director of the public security bureau. They are responsible for all the lawsuits and are in charge of interrogation and arrested suspects. After the interrogation, the judicial officer's office shall be held in the prison of the supervisor. After the trial, the judicial officer's office shall be sent to the judge's office for appropriate charges to judge the case, and to the judge's office and the chief's office. The judge and the governor's office agree. After the two supervisors sign together, it is considered the final trial.

Compared with the judicial system in later generations, the officers' military service was the Public Security Bureau, and the officers' court was only responsible for suspects. The judicial service was the procuratorate. After the preliminary case was decided, the Guanzhou Court was also the court. The judges' office was the court, and the final case was the court.

The Song Dynasty system was in the state, and the road-level criminal prosecutorial department only reviewed the prison lawsuit, not a higher-level judicial system. If the criminal prosecutor discovered a suspected case, it would not interrogate it itself, but sent it back to retrial, or sent it to other states for review.

The most important thing in civil affairs in this era was prison lawsuits, so half of the duties of the officials of the Gu Cao were related to prison sentences.

Du Zhongxiao processed a few official documents casually. After sitting in the case, he remembered the Khitan envoy reported by Chen Xiliang just now. It had been more than half a year since he entered Hequ Road, and the Khitan had never been in contact. At this time, Yelu Chongyuan sent envoys, which was interesting.

A few days ago, the court sent envoys to the Khitan. There were four groups of envoys, namely the birthday envoy of the Khitan mother, the birthday envoy of the Khitan mother, the birthday envoy of the Khitan mother, the He Zhengdan envoy of the Khitan mother. This is a common example in previous years, but this year is a bit special. In the past, these four groups of envoys actually set off together, and went to the same place, the mother of the Khitan country was with the Khitan king. But this year was different. The mother of the Khitan country was Xiao Nojin in Zhongjing, Yelu Hongji was in Youzhou, and Yelu Chongyuan was in Datong Prefecture. The envoys of the Khitan country went to Zhongjing, and the envoys of the Khitan country went to Youzhou.

Through envoys, the Song Dynasty, who had been ambiguous, expressed its attitude and recognized Yelu Hongji from Youzhou as the official. Although Yelu Chongyuan received the support of Xiao Nojin, a group of envoys celebrated, but the title of great righteousness was lost.

The most important thing about the two emperors' co-establishment is strength, and the other is the great name. In this arrangement, the Song Dynasty naturally had the idea of ​​two equality, but the Khitan was sending a visit to Yelu Hongji, which stimulated Yelu Chongyuan.

The weight of the Song Dynasty over the Khitan is not comparable in the past few years. Yelu Zongzhen was killed by Tang Long Town, and the offensive and defensive momentum of both sides has changed and has been recognized by the Song Dynasty. It was what Yelu Chongyuan and Yelu Hongji dreamed of.

What to do? If you lose your reputation, you can only depend on your strength.

The high autumn is the season when the Khitans are fighting. At this time, there is no need to think about sending envoys to Hequ Road. Yelu Chongyuan wants to solve the problem with force. If he wants to send troops to Youzhou, Yelu Chongyuan first guarantees that Du Zhongxiao will not take advantage of the situation to attack Datong Prefecture.

Thinking of this, Du Zhongxiao smiled. Yelu Chongyuan would not know the situation in Hequ Road. The army is training, but not many troops can actually be used for combat, and in fact they do not have enough energy to attack Datong. But the series of wars ahead really scared him. Even though he knew Du Zhongxiao's difficulties, he did not dare to take it lightly. Without Du Zhongxiao's acquiescence, he was afraid that he would not dare to mobilize the main force of Datong Mansion.
