In the face of national crisis, Fu Bi was ordered to negotiate in the Khitan palace. In the negotiation, regardless of his personal safety, he made an impassioned speech and successfully persuaded Khitan to give up the request of land cutting, which safeguarded the interests of the Northern Song Dynasty.
