The strategy of throwing corpses into the customs is indeed very good, and it can achieve the goal of killing the enemy with the minimum Cheng dù, but this strategy is too hurtful to the heavens and the peace, if he can, Zhuge Liang still doesn't want to use this strategy.

In addition, there is another point, that is, natural disasters are often not controllable by people, and once the plague is not properly controlled, the consequences caused by the spread of the epidemic are definitely not what they can imagine now.

The third point is that throwing the corpses of the dead soldiers into the Tong Pass is a big blow to the morale of the Xiliang Coalition Army itself.

Zhuge Liang opposes this strategy, not only because he can't get over it in his own heart, but more importantly, because of other considerations, but for Li Ru, Zhuge Liang's opposition is to suppress himself, and he is to oppose himself!

Thinking about it like this, Li Ru's expression became ugly, and he secretly thought in his heart: "What a Zhuge Kongming, but not long after I came to Xiliang, I actually wanted to suppress me, I, Li Ru, is the military advisor of Xiliang, not you a Jingzhou person, a rural villager who doesn't know where it came from, when I, Li Ru, helped Dong Xiangguo to dominate the world, you Zhuge Kongming didn't know where it was?!" ”

Li Ru, who was burning with jealousy in his heart, looked at Zhuge Liang and said with a gloomy smile: "Mr. Zhuge is a little worried, as long as the time comes, we will prevent our soldiers from approaching Tongguan, and at the same time shoot all the people and livestock who come out of Tongguan, can't we prevent the plague from spreading to our army, Mr. Zhuge is extremely wise, how could he not think of this, could it be, Mr. Zhuge began to sympathize with the Wei army, and had some other thoughts in his heart, right?" ”

"Hey, Master Li, what you said is a bit excessive, I will see that you have misunderstood Mr. Zhuge , Mr. Zhuge helped our army defeat the Wei army, how could you have other thoughts."

Stretching out his hand to stop Li Ru from continuing to speak, after Ma Teng and Guo Yan glanced at each other without a trace, Guo Yan looked at Zhuge Liang with a smile on his face and said: "General Ma is right, but since Wen You said that this is on the line, first for the final victory of our army, Mr. Zhuge should not continue to stop it, right?" ”

Although Zhuge Liang helped the Xiliang army defeat the Wei army, but for Ma Teng and Guo Yan, Zhuge Liang is an outsider and does not belong to Xiliang at all, so even if there is some dirt between the two of them, but in the face of Zhuge Liang, they are very determined to work together to suppress Zhuge Liang, if Zhuge Liang is not on their side at this time, it is still useful for them, and both of them want to kill Zhuge Liang.

Ma Teng and Guo Yan's thoughts may be able to hide from those Xiliang martial artists, but they definitely can't hide from Zhuge Liang, looking at the two of them who seem to be polite, but in fact they have already made up their minds, Zhuge Liang's face crossed a helpless look: "I only hope that when the time comes, the plague will not affect our army." ”

"Haha, of course, of course, come, everyone, for our army to defeat the Wei army this time, drink!"

Ma Teng and Guo Yan stood up with wine glasses in their hands, and drank to the generals under their command, Li Ru on the side, with a touch of pride on his gloomy face, also picked up the wine glass, came to Zhuge Liang and said, "Kong Ming, thank you this time." ”

"I hope that when the time comes, you won't regret it."

"Of course, after this plan, the Wei army will inevitably be destroyed and Tongguan, how can I regret it?"

Looking at Li Ru's smug face, Zhuge Liang raised his head and drank the wine in the cup, and then withdrew from the big tent, looking at Tongguan in the distance in the dark night, Zhuge Liang sighed secretly, and after coming to his military tent, he instructed the scholar who came with him: "Tidy up, after this battle, we will prepare to leave here and return to Jingzhou." ”

"Sir, why are you suddenly ready to leave?"

This scholar has been following Zhuge Liang for a long time, so he is not too afraid of Zhuge Liang, and he is not very old, so he asked the doubts in his heart under curiosity.

Fortunately, Zhuge Liang did not punish him for this, but replied: "What I have to do here is almost the same, the lord's side, I can't leave for too long, the battle for the throne in Jingzhou is gradually unfolding in secret, if you are not careful, you will lose everything, during this period, how can I continue to stay here, okay, you go down and clean up." ”

"Understood, sir, wait a minute."

Zhuge Liang's purpose in coming to Xiliang this time was to drag Cao Cao's energy and prevent him from setting his sights on the south, after the defeat of Tongguan, the Xiliang coalition army and the Wei army almost became mortal enemies, and Cao Cao wanted to set his sights on the south, he must first solve the Xiliang coalition army.

And Xiliang has not only been bitter cold since ancient times, but the transportation is also not very convenient, just this, according to Zhuge Liang's calculations, is enough to stop Cao Cao for two or three years, so it is enough time for Zhuge Liang to carry out his plan next.

Now that the goal has almost been achieved, of course Zhuge Liang has no need to continue to stay, but is ready to leave for Jingzhou, after all, according to Liu Qi's temperament, Zhuge Liang is really not at ease.

Not to mention the dirty things that happened secretly in the camp of the Xiliang Army this night, for the ordinary soldiers of the Xiliang Army, they only knew that after a good meal last night, on the second day, they had to seal their noses to prevent themselves from smelling the putrid smell of the corpse, and put the corpses of the livestock and even the corpses of some unknown soldiers on the catapults.

Ma Teng and others, who didn't know that there was a problem with the morale of the soldiers under their command, were proudly fantasizing about what would happen after Tongguan was broken, and couldn't wait to order all those corpses to be thrown into Tongguan.

"Father, do you really want to do that, won't this hurt the peace too much?"

"Yes, father, the little sister is right, if you want to defeat the Wei army, with the child's martial arts, with the courage of the soldiers under her command to kill the enemy, why do you want to throw the corpses of those soldiers who died in battle into Tongguan, this is too cruel!"

For Ma Teng's determination to throw the body into the customs, Ma Chao and Ma Yunlu brothers and sisters were very reluctant and wanted to stop Ma Teng, but in the face of the two brothers and sisters' stopping, Ma Teng was furious. (To be continued.) )
