"Shiqi, Gongren, please look at what does Fang Zhiwen mean?"

Gongsun Zan handed Guan Jing a letter in his hand. Guan Jing took it without hesitation, glanced at Dong Zhao at the corner of his eyes. Dong Zhao kept a reserved smile, as if he didn't care at all.

Gongsun Zan was unaware of the tricks between Fang Zhiwen and Zhang Liao. After Fang Zhiwen's army suddenly appeared in Yanmen North, then faced Helian who went south, and then completely destroyed the Helian troops, which were like a destruction, Gongsun Zan realized that Zhang Liao sold Yanmen North in order to get rid of the burden.

Gongsun Zan was even more worried about what kind of bottom-level deal Fang Zhiwen and Zhang Liao had, and would it provide Zhang Liao with a large amount of food and equipment? If that were the case, the difficulty of attacking Zhang Liao would have risen sharply. Also, what was Fang Zhiwen's own army in Qiangyin? Is he trying to further divide Bingzhou?

After reading the letter in his hand, Guan Jing frowned like Gongsun Zan and began to ponder. Dong Zhao took the letter and read it quickly, then frowned, read it again, and carefully read the signature at the end of the letter, and then spread his eyebrows with some gains.

"How? The scholars are coming."

Guan Jing didn't think about it, but Gongsun Zan was asking. Gongsun Yue was also squinting his eyes and Dong Zhao also smiled and listened. Guan Jing had to think and said, "Lord. I think Fang Zhiwen means that we want us to fight each other. Perhaps, Fang Zhiwen also has ideas about Bingzhou."

Gongsun Zan nodded without comment, stroked his beard and turned to Dong Zhao: "Where is Gongren? What about you?"

"General, what Shi Qi said makes sense. This letter actually reveals a lot of information."

"Oh? Let's talk!" Gongsun Zan leaned forward with interest. Guan Jing was a little panicked.

Dong Zhao nodded with a smile: "General, Fang Zhiwen implies that food is in short supply in his letter, and he may not be able to supply in large quantities. He also implies that if we start a war, we will try our best to maintain the supply, and even encourage us to exchange prisoners of war and population for food. The price given is also very fair. It is even much lower than Yuan Shao's offer. This shows that Fang Zhiwen is actually encouraging us to start a war, so who can we start a war with? Obviously, we can only go to a war with Zhang Liao."

"This is obvious, and Fang Zhiwen may also have the idea of ​​making profits on both sides." Guan Jing added, indicating that he had also thought about these things and thought a little more.

"Well, there is this possibility." Dong Zhao smiled and took Guan Jing's trick: "This can be said to be a typical idea of ​​watching the tiger's fight on the mountain. However, the idea of ​​watching the tiger's fight on the mountain has a follow-up. Otherwise, why would he have to watch the wall?"

"Second?" Gongsun Zan asked curiously. Guan Jing was a little anxious. He didn't expect the subsequent question. If he was sitting in the mountains and watching the tiger fight, what would Fang Zhiwen follow? Will he swallow the entire Bingzhou in one bite? Thinking of this, Guan Jing couldn't help but sweat.

"Yes, follow-up. The general thought, what would Fang Zhiwen want to do after seeing that we both suffered losses?"

"Does Fang Zhiwen want the entire Bingzhou?"

Dong Zhao glanced at Guan Jing with a panicked look, and shook his head with a smile: "No, if Fang Zhiwen wanted Bingzhou, he should want Jizhou. If he didn't even want Jizhou, how could he want Bingzhou?"

"Oh? Why is this?" Gongsun Zan asked secretly with relief without paying attention.

"Is it because Fang Zhiwen doesn't want to join the game?" Guan Jing immediately interjected to show his existence. Gongsun Yue raised the corners of his mouth and smiled gloatingly.

"That's right!" Dong Zhao nodded: "Fang Zhiwen doesn't want to get involved in the Central Plains at all, so he didn't take Jizhou when the opportunity was good, but instead let Zhang Jiao go and let Yuan Shao stabilize Jizhou. Next, Fang Zhiwen will be satisfied as long as he does business with Yuan Shao. Therefore, Fang Zhiwen will not want Bingzhou now, and his purpose is to do business with us."

"So what is his purpose of sitting in the mountains to watch the tiger fight?"

"It can be said that it is to make money from war, or to weaken it at the same time, we will make Yanmen North safer."

"No, Fang Zhiwen doesn't care about security issues. Neither we nor Zhang Liao have the capital to threaten Fang Zhiwen's safety."

"What about Yuan Shao?"

"The back of our butts is not clean, and Fang Zhiwen likes the big city system and concentrates the population in big cities. It is quite difficult to attack the city. If there is a slight delay, his cavalry will flock to him."

"Since the big city system is so good, why can't we adopt it?" Gongsun Yue suddenly interrupted and asked.

Gongsun Zan shook his head regretfully and said, "The big city system will lead to a tight arable land area, and the grain problem will be highlighted. Fang Zhiwen's urban layout is very particular. Some specialize in farming, while others produce certain products, and then adjust each other to supplement the shortcomings. If careful planning is not implemented, this development path is very difficult, and it is easy to cause a certain place to flood the land, but a certain place lacks arable land. Especially in the early stages of the city construction, it was purely a large investment, without considerable capital, and the development model of this big city system could not be achieved at all."

Gongsun Yue nodded suddenly: "Yuan Shao seems to be learning this technique recently."

Dong Zhao smiled disdainfully: "Yuan Benchu ​​cannot do it, the aristocratic tribes under his command will not agree. The land around the big city belongs to the aristocratic tribes. If the population is concentrated in large quantities, these populations will have no land to cultivate."

Gongsun Yue and Gongsun Zan nodded together. The big city system seemed beautiful, but it was really not something that could be played casually.

"I'm going too far, so Fang Zhiwen's purpose may be to make money in war, and perhaps there may be a deeper purpose?"

"General, did you notice that the signature of the letter's tail?"

As soon as Dong Zhao finished speaking, Guan Jing had already grabbed the letter and read it, his face full of regret. If he had discovered the signature problem at the end of the letter earlier, he would not have been at a disadvantage of Dong Zhao. It was all because Gongsun Zan came up to mislead people. Why did he say it was Fang Zhiwen's letter? This was obviously from Fang Zhiwen's father-in-law Zhen Yi!

Gongsun Zan blinked and asked in confusion: "Although it was Zhen Yi's letter, aren't all the words and words revealed by Fang Zhiwen? They are a family, what's the difference?"

"It's a big difference!" Guan Jing said first: "If this letter was written by Fang Zhiwen, it means that he really wanted to make money in the war and hoped that we would fight with Zhang Liao more lively, but this letter was written by Zhen Yi, and it was just a nonsense of a businessman."

"Businessman's nonsense? Could it be?" Gongsun Zan also understood it, but he still couldn't understand the key.

"Fang Zhiwen is planning to refuse to admit his account at the time!"

Dong Zhao directly and clearly pointed out the answer. What's more interesting is that Fang Zhiwen doesn't want to recognize what the account is there? Even if he sells grain on both sides to instigate the war between the two sides, it is not something that cannot be admitted. If Fang Zhiwen successfully instigated a war between the two armies, the world can only say that Gongsun Zan and Zhang Liao are incompetent and were led by Fang Zhiwen. No one would think that there is anything wrong with Fang Zhiwen doing this. So why doesn't Fang Zhiwen want to admit this?

Gongsun Yue is much more mature now and is no longer the proud family. He already understands it. He has something he doesn’t understand, so it’s not embarrassing to ask questions.

"Gong Ren, I still don't understand why Fang Zhiwen wanted to take himself out of this matter? There is no need to do so. He himself has never been such a person who seeks fame."

"Not bad!" Gongsun Zan also agreed with this statement, but at the same time he did not understand the details.

Dong Zhao's eyes turned to Guan Jing. He had done enough. If he stole the limelight like this, he would offend Guan Jing fiercely.

Guan Jing was not very grateful, as if he hadn't seen it, and said slowly: "Lord, the reason why Fang Zhiwen wanted to take himself out of this matter was obviously to gain benefits from the situation after the war, and this benefit was to be gained from Zhang Liao or Lu Bu, but his subordinates didn't know what he wanted? Perhaps it was Dingxiang and Yunzhong? Anyway, he could not let the secretly instigation of war be exposed to Zhang Liao and Lu Bu, at least not on the surface."

Gongsun Zan suddenly realized!

"So that's it! So that's it! I didn't expect Fang Zhiwen to have such an idea. So is it said that Fang Zhiwen's purpose is to let us defeat Zhang Liao?"

"Based on the previous words, there is obviously such intention. Isn't this what population and captives all of us have to win? He is hinting that he will support us in defeating Zhang Liao, at least to support us in a strategic position, so as to create conditions for him to exchange for benefits from Zhang Liao and Lu Bu!"

"What a Fang Zhiwen! He is so cunning. Let's be the thug for him!" Gongsun Zan sighed, but there was not much dissatisfaction or reluctance. In front of Fang Zhiwen, Gongsun Zan had already become a weak person's mentality.

Dong Zhao nodded silently, Gongsun Yue's face twitched, obviously some unpleasant memories came to his heart. Guan Jing did not hide his feelings and sighed heavily.

"My lord, although he knows that he is being used, this matter is undoubtedly beneficial to us, so he cannot be let go easily! Moreover, when the war starts, what level can be achieved is not something that Fang Zhiwen can control. Perhaps the biggest winner will be us, maybe we may not necessarily."

"Haha" Gongsun Zan laughed with his beard and his tone was full of pride and ambition: "Shiqi said it well, I am a man, I am a man, Fang Zhiwen has calculations, and I, Gongsun Zan, also have the idea of ​​Gongsun Zan. Who can benefit in the end depends on us who actually took action. If we can use Fang Zhiwen's strait to take over the entire Taiyuan County and Yanmen County in one fell swoop, and drive Zhang Liao to the northwest, we must be the one who smiled in the end."
