Gongsun Zan was also a little curious. Dong Zhao's words were very interesting. The more you savored, the more you taste it, the more you taste it, but it was difficult to figure out the key one at once.

"Gongren's words are difficult to understand. Why is Tie Jun's idea? If Gongren doesn't say it, I really can't guess it. After observing the meaning of Gongren's words, it seems that after guessing Tie Jun's idea, I can use this to threaten Tie Jun to make peace with me and let me manage Hanoi with peace of mind. Does Gongren mean this?"

"The lord said nothing, and that's exactly what the subordinates want to say."

Guan Jing looked at Dong Zhao in surprise, and there was a hint of jealousy in his eyes. Yan Gang and Wang Gate looked at each other, and they were also curious. They could use the enemy's ideas to threaten the enemy to make peace with him. Not to mention what the Iron Army's ideas were, Dong Zhao's ideas were very wonderful!

Guan Jingyo asked unwillingly: "What's the Iron Army's idea?"

Dong Zhao put away the smile on his face, glanced around the conference hall, and Gongsun Zan immediately understood it.

"You go out all the time, and you must not enter within ten feet of the year. Those who violate the situation will be killed!"

"promise!"

The guards in the chamber retreated and confine the doors and windows of the chamber, and under the surrounding officers' cordon.

In Baima City, Song Hufeng has been very low-key and high-profile recently. What is low-key is that they almost ignored Zhang He's troops outside the city. They seemed to be afraid of being beaten by Yuan Shao. They didn't even dare to go out of the city gate. They just kept their heads and tried hard to strengthen the city defense of Baima City. At the same time, they are also expanding the port in the north of the city, making the original small port quite large. A large number of construction and combat preparation materials were continuously transported from the Yellow River to Baima City. Seeing that Baima City is getting taller and thicker and thicker, this image of being a turtle can be said to be quite low-key.

He is said to be high-profile because he leads his army to train militias in the city every morning and evening, or patrols on the city walls, or inspects the docks, and he always appears in front of people. It seems that he is afraid that the people and players in the city will not know what they are doing. It is unknown whether he does this to boost morale or have other intentions.

That night, a ship from Xiangyun Trading Company approached the dock of Baima City. Song Hufeng happened to be on the dock. Maybe he was waiting for the merchant ship, or maybe he had some goods or business negotiations. Song Hufeng boarded the merchant ship after the ship docked and blocked the pier near the merchant ship. No irrelevant people are allowed to approach.

The sailors on the merchant ship all got off the boat to carry goods and eat, while the owner stood on the bow deck and talked to a player of the Iron Army. He seemed to speak enthusiastically and laughed loudly from time to time.

There was another scene in the cabin. Two people were sitting opposite each other in the cabin with dim candlelight, one of which was Song Hufeng, and the other, which was Gongsun Zan's military advisor Dong Zhao.

"Mr. Dong, you contacted me through Xiangyun Trading Company this time and took the risk to meet me in person. Isn't the idea small?"

Dong Zhao smiled slightly: "That's right, here we are here to make peace with you on behalf of our Lord."

"Make peace? Haha, Lord Dong is joking? Your side has always worked closely with Yuan Shao. Now our iron army is Yuan Shao's enemy. Can we make peace between us?"

"Haha, Lord Song doesn't have to test me. The relationship between my master and Yuan Shao is actually no different from the relationship between my master and your army. The so-called "profit is a plan, and if there is no relationship, there is a difference. There are also words that the times change and the situation is changing. Now that the situation is changing, we should adapt to the situation and not be bound by one pattern."

Song Hufeng nodded. Not only did these strategists say anything else, they were more eloquent than the other. Looking at Dong Zhao's eloquence, Song Hufeng felt a little unhappy.

"Mr. Dong's intention is that if our interests are consistent, Lord Gongsun Zan will abandon Yuan Shao? Now that Lord Dong is here, can I think Lord Gongsun Zan thinks there is no need to continue to cooperate with Yuan Shao? Does Lord Gongsun Zan want to plot against Jizhou?"

"How is it possible? Not to mention that Yuan Shao is now in a prosperous future. Even when Yuan Shao was not lucky, our master did not take any harm. My master is not such a person. This time he came to make peace with the army, just because he was worried that Yuan Shao would continue to grow up and develop unnecessary ambitions. As the saying goes, you should not have the intention to harm others, but you must be careful of others!"

Song Hufeng secretly curled his lips, whoever believes this is a fool? Gongsun Zan is a kind gentleman? Go to the city to ask if the three-year-old child believes it?

However, Song Hufeng understood the meaning of Dong Zhao's words. Gongsun Zan was worried that Yuan Shao would win in the Central Plains and his power would further grow, and his balance of power in Hebei would be broken. At that time, it would not be Gongsun Zan's plot against Yuan Shao, but Yuan Shao plotted against Gongsun Zan. The chance of this situation becoming increasingly greater, so Gongsun Zan could not sit still.

If you think so, Gongsun Zan's intention to go south is very interesting. Perhaps Gongsun Zan was not here to deal with Liu Bei, but to expand his strength while making trouble for Yuan Shao, and even compete with Yuan Shao for the fruits of victory in the Central Plains.

"So, was Gongsun Zan taking away the Yewang and other cities to facilitate peace with our army?"

"Haha, the Ye Wang and other cities are not owned by the army. These cities are nominally under the jurisdiction of Lord Song. In fact, even taxes have not been paid, so our Lord will not be injured in taking down Yu army."

"But in terms of reputation, our army was damaged."

"This may not be a good thing! Isn't it a good thing for our Lord to fight with your army? Of course, it's just a nominal battle. Our Lord does not mean to fight with your army with real guns and swords."

Song Hufeng looked shaking. There was something in Dong Zhao's words! Gongsun Zan was fighting with him in name, but in fact he came to secretly communicate with him. On the surface, it was Gongsun Zan who was beneficial to the Iron Army to deal with Yuan Shao, but Dong Zhao's words obviously were more than that. He seemed to be referring to what he said. Could it be that he had seen something?

"Did Lord Dong say that he would show Yuan Shao the show? The one who gained the benefits should be Lord Gongsun Zan? What are the benefits for me? Does your army think that our iron army dare not fight with your army?"

"No! Lord Song sticks to the white horse, builds the city and trains troops actively. It seems that he has made up his mind to defend the white horse, but is this true? On the other hand, Yuan Shao, Jiyin, Dongjun, Shanyang, and Rencheng are almost all white land. The huge land is deserted and the roads are deserted, and there is already a suspicion of going deep into the army. At this time, if the logistics is severely hit, Yuan Shao may be defeated without fighting. If this situation was designed by someone, it would be even more terrible. Yuan Shao will face a series of back-up attacks from his opponents. I wonder if Yuan Shao, who has been playing Kai all the way, has realized this problem?"

Song Hufeng's heart skipped a beat. Sure enough, he was really afraid of anything. Could it be that Dong Zhao had seen something from his arrangement? So did Yuan Shao also see something? Can this plan really succeed?

"Haha, Yuan Shao's subordinates have many advisers. How can Lord Dong interfere in this kind of thing? I believe they have already thought it very clearly and arranged it very carefully!"

"Yes, I'm so concerned. I understand now. It turns out that Yuan Shao asked my lord to go south to target this possibility. As long as my lord restrains your army in Hanoi, your army will not be able to make a difference in Yuan Shao's logistics line. Haha, I'm right?"

Although Song Hufeng tried his best to restrain himself, he knew that his face must be as dark as the bottom of the pot. As Dong Zhao said, if Gongsun Zan had already realized this possibility, the plan he and Zhuge Jin had made with great efforts and would probably fail to implement it until the current layout. In the end, not only could he not achieve the set goal, but he also had many benefits for Yuan Shao. This is what it means to steal a chicken and lose a handful of rice.

Dong Zhao looked at Song Hufeng with a smile. He could see from Song Hufeng's expression that he seemed to have guessed it correctly. In fact, this is really not difficult to guess. It can be seen from the fact that the Iron Army refused to give up Chaoge when he died. Moreover, the Iron Army on Jixian on the north bank of the Yellow River is also actively expanding its port facilities. This is all about making preparations for crossing the river and fighting!

Since he had already figured out Tiejun's pulse, Dong Zhao was more confident in prescribing the right medicine.

"Is that true, what are Lord Gongsun's plans? Our Iron Army is also looking forward to fighting with Lord Gongsun to see who is stronger and who is the master of Hanoi."

Song Hufeng was trying to advance as a retreat. Dong Zhao smiled and said slowly: "Whatever my general wants to do depends on your army's ideas! If your army is willing to talk to me, then our army can do it, in fact, do nothing, or pretend to attack Jixian, cooperate with your army to let Yuan Shao relax his vigilance. It depends entirely on your army's ideas."

Song Hufeng took a breath, tried his best to calm himself down, and told himself that cooperation must be bilateral and could not be a unilateral act. Therefore, no matter how easy Dong Zhao said, he could not conceal Gongsun Zan could still gain benefits from framed Yuan Shao, and even gain greater benefits than the Iron Army.

The key point of trading is who cares more!

"So, Lord Gongsun is very righteous, but this matter is optional to me. Our Iron Army is not afraid to fight a stunning battle with Yuan Shao in Baima and Yan County. The Iron Army's reputation has always been achieved, and we will never be afraid of a fight!"

"Haha, your army is naturally not afraid of fighting, or even losing, but what about Liu Bei? If Liu Bei fails in Chenliu and Dongjun becomes a prominent unit, Yuan Shao will have to fight, and he doesn't even have to fight, just blockade. As for Hanoi County, our Lord can trade with Yuan Shao in turn. What does Lord Song think?"

"Is that so, Lord Gongsun is not worried that Yuan Shao will swallow Bingzhou in one bite with the power of the Central Plains?"

"I'm afraid! So, I'm down, haha."

Dong Zhao grinned, with a relaxed expression on his face, Song Hufeng looked coldly. After a while, Song Hufeng's face finally relaxed, and he shook his head and smiled:

"Mr. Dong is so smart and has such a pair of wise eyes! Does Mr. Dong like to drink tea?"

"I like it, I like it very much."

"Then what should we talk about while drinking tea?"

"I can't find it, haha." (To be continued.)
