"Your Majesty, the time is almost up, and we can't delay it any longer."

"Okay, in that case, let's move on to the second step."

At this time, three days have passed since Cao Cao wrote to Ma Teng, and within three days, not only Cao Cao sent two letters to Ma Teng in a row, but Ma Teng and others' troops still besieged Tongguan but did not attack, but whether they were waiting for the plague to break out and the Wei army was defeated without a fight, or because Ma Teng and Guo Yan had begun to prevent each other, it was a matter of opinion.

On the fourth day, a piece of news was passed out from Tongguan, there was a plague in Tongguan, dozens of Wei soldiers were unwell, red spots appeared on their bodies, and their flesh festered.

"Okay, good, good, hahaha, it seems that even Cao Cao can't do anything about natural disasters like the plague, according to the generals, it's better to take advantage of this time to attack and test the details of the Wei army!"

Guo Yan laughed, it seemed that in this way, the pressure and shadow brought to him by Cao Cao could be eliminated, after laughing, Guo Yan didn't know what he thought, and his face suddenly became a little weird and said to Ma Teng on the side: "General Ma, what do you think of what General Ben just said?" ”

"Although it is good, but at this time the plague has just happened, if our army enters Tongguan, our soldiers may also have a plague, according to this general's opinion, it is better to wait and see what it will be!"

What kind of calculation is Guo Yan, how can Ma Teng not know in his heart, it sounds good, attack Tongguan to test it, at this time, the soldiers who will attack at this time, which side will come from, it is not easy to say.

Although the Wei army has not been completely defeated at this time, but the news of the plague has been confirmed, both Ma Teng and Guo Yan are relieved in their hearts, and they are not as jealous of the Wei army as before, and in this way, they who have relaxed have all thought of a question, that is, if the Wei army is beaten out of Guanzhong, then who will rule this Xiliang and Guanzhong in the future, that is a question.

In the world of war, reasoning or anything is false, and everything is based on strength and the strength in hand, Ma Teng and Guo Yan can be said to have a deep understanding of this truth, thinking that the two of them are about to face off on the battlefield in the future, the two of them are afraid and defensive of each other at this time, and they are overpowering the fear of the Wei army in Tongguan bit by bit.

After all, since ancient times, even the most powerful Qin army has been vulnerable in the face of the plague, which shows that the power of natural disasters, an army infected with the plague, how can they be too afraid and guarded.

Thinking of the dark thoughts in Guo Yan's heart, the corners of Ma Teng's mouth jumped, and he smiled meaninglessly, and walked out of the big tent first, leaving behind Guo Yan, whose face was suddenly ugly.

"Ma Teng, Ma Teng, what a guy, how dare you ignore me like this!"

Guo Yan angrily kicked over the desk in front of him, and felt extremely angry that Ma Teng didn't even say a word to him, and swaggered away, since he became the head of Dong Zhuo's remnants, Guo Yan has never been so insulted.

Of course, it is obvious that Guo Yan forgot one thing, that is, not long ago, when Ma Teng received two letters from Cao Cao in a row, his Guo Yan's attitude can only be said to be half a catty compared with Ma Teng's attitude today.

"General Guo, although what Ma Teng said today is reasonable, but in my opinion, the most important thing is that he Ma Teng is worried, afraid that the general will send his soldiers and horses into Tongguan and contract the plague, so it can be seen that Ma Teng and his army have gradually drifted away from us."

Although Li Ru is under Guo Yan, he is not as loyal as Guo Yan, the identity of the two is a real collaborator, so Li Ru's title for Guo Yan is not the lord but General Guo.

For Guo Yan, Li Ru himself can't look down on it, when Dong Zhuo was still there in the past, Guo Yan was just a guy he could call and drink, if it weren't for the fact that in the end, only Guo Yan could suppress Dong Zhuojun, who had no morale and was already in a state of collapse, how could Li Ru put Guo Yan on the position of the head of Dong Zhuojun.

However, I can't look down on it, but Li Ru still has a wish in his heart, that is, to revitalize Dong Zhuojun, Dong Zhuojun not only represents the status of the megatron in the past, but also his Li Ru himself, who developed it from a small Xiliang warlord to the powerful Dong Zhuojun in the past.

For Dong Zhuojun, Li Ru's feelings are deeper than Dong Zhuo himself, in order to revitalize Dong Zhuojun, he can willingly assist Guo Yan, just like at this time.

"Hmph, since Ma Teng is on guard and afraid of the general, then the general doesn't need to act with him anymore, military advisor, you immediately order to go down and strengthen the defense, I am worried that after the defeat of the Wei army, it will be the time for Ma Teng to do something to us."

"Yes!"

The undercurrent between Ma Teng and Guo Yan, Zhuge Liang can be said to see it clearly, thinking of what has happened in the past few days, Zhuge Liang smiled and said: "It seems that there are also capable people in the Wei army, use letters to break the trust between Ma and Guo, and use the news of the plague to gradually turn the two into fire and water, if I think it is right, then next, it is the news that the plague is getting bigger and bigger day by day, a good means, step by step to make Ma Teng and Guo Yan not as good as in this trap, but I don't know, Did you think that Liang would not make a move at this time? ”

Sima Yi's strategy was used to deceive Ma Teng and Guo Yan, as well as Li Ru in the game, which can be said to be invincible, but in front of Zhuge Liang, he was seen through one by one, but even if he saw through Sima Yi's strategy, Zhuge Liang did not expose it, after all, he came here to delay Cao Cao, not to help Ma Teng and Guo Yan develop and grow.

It is precisely because of this that Zhuge Liang is very curious in his heart, whether Sima Yi guessed what he thinks, if so, for Sima Yi, Zhuge Liang is curious and vigilant.

"Pack your bags and leave while it's a nice night tonight."

Zhuge Liang's feather fan shook slightly, the smile on his face has not diminished, whether it is or not, his Zhuge Liang's purpose here has been achieved, and it is time to leave this place that is about to become a battlefield.

At night, Zhuge Liang and his scholar left at night, and the news of his departure did not take long to reach the hands of Ma Teng and Guo Yan, for Zhuge Liang's departure, both of them had an indifferent mentality, obviously at this time, their value for Zhuge Liang is not the same as in the past.
