Chapter 633 Disagreement
Outside Qichun County, the Wei army camp.

Wen Qin sat in the upper seat, narrowed his eyes, and then acted as if he was extremely angry.

"This old man is going too far!!"

"This battle was originally meant to take Qichun for me! Who would have thought that this fellow would actually leave me here to resist the Wu army, while he himself wanted to capture Jianye!"

"He was the first to destroy the country, but I became his assistant."

"How unreasonable?!"

At this moment, the generals who followed Wen Qin to attack the city looked at each other in confusion. Wen Qin had dispersed all his generals to various places, and now there were not many people with him.

Although Wen Qin did not explicitly say who it was, these people understood who Wen Qin was scolding just by listening to his story.

Faced with the quarrels among generals of this level, these young generals still did not dare to speak.

Seeing Wen Qin so angry, Jiao Yi quickly stood up and said, "General, this man's actions are really too much."

"I think we can't put all our hopes on this person. We should contact General Wang. If we can cooperate with him, we can capture Qichun together, and then we can join him in capturing Wuchang."

Wen Qin stroked his chin, pondered for a moment, and then nodded.

"you are right!"

"We can't rely on this person anymore. We should send someone to contact Wang Ji as soon as possible. We worked very well together in the previous battles with Wang Ji in Jingnan, and we will definitely be able to achieve even greater success this time!"

All the generals agreed.

At this moment, a scout suddenly came walking quickly.

"General! Ding Feng has sent an envoy, saying he has something important to discuss with you!"

Wen Qin glanced at Jiao Yi, and the two looked at each other in a very subtle way.

Wen Qin then shouted angrily, "How dare you send someone here when our armies are engaged in battle? Take him out and execute him!"

Jiao Yi hurriedly advised: "General, don't be impatient. You can first listen to what Ding Feng wants to say, and then it won't be too late to make a decision."

Wen Qin hesitated for a moment before saying, "Bring him in!"

Wen Qin sat in the upper seat again, and the generals stood on both sides, waiting for the people sent by Ding Feng.

A moment later, a person was pushed in.

This man was young and well-dressed, with a face full of pride and arrogance. He was escorted in by two soldiers, and his clothes were torn, but he did not look afraid.

Wen Qin sized him up and sneered, "Dongwu, you rats, are only good at feigning surrender and backstabbing. And today they've sent a weakling like you. Can you possibly carry out such an important mission?"

"If I were to be sent as an envoy to the General of Chariots and Cavalry, or the General of the Horse Cavalry, then I certainly wouldn't be qualified. But as an envoy to the General, I am more than qualified."

The man immediately fought back.

Wen Qin was furious and pointed at him, cursing, "Drag this fellow out and behead him as a sacrifice!"

Several soldiers escorted him out, but the young man was not afraid at all. Instead, he raised his head and laughed.

Hearing his laughter, Wen Qin looked up suspiciously and called out to the soldiers who were escorting him.

"Why are you laughing?"

"I laugh at the fact that General, a hero of the age, has been bullied to this point and still doesn't realize it! General, just take me out and behead me. If things go faster, perhaps I can wait for you to go with me!"

Everyone was surprised and looked at each other.

Wen Qin smiled disdainfully.

"Do you think I'm afraid of Ding Feng? Ding Feng is just a defeated general of mine. He can serve as a vanguard, but he can't be the commander of an army!"

"As for Shi Ji, he is old and weak, and his spirit is gone. What good will it do even if he leads a larger army?"

Hearing Wen Qin's words, the man shook his head and said, "The disaster I want to talk about is not caused by them, but by someone else."

Wen Qin suddenly fell silent.

"Let's all go out. I want to see what this guy has to say today!"

Wen Qin only left Jiao Yi alive and then untied him.

The young man's attitude also changed, and he formally bowed to Wen Qin.

"I am Captain Zhang Ti, and I'm here to see you, General!"

"Zhang Ti, tell me what disaster I'm in. If you can't convince me today, I'll use you as a sacrifice!"

Zhang Ti saluted Wen Qin again and then said, "General, why can't you see clearly what we can see clearly?"

"When the war began, you had the smallest force, yet you were the first to attack fiercely. Your troops suffered numerous casualties. Yet, Guanqiu Jian and Hu Zun not only did not come to your aid, but instead attacked Guangling and other places. Why is that?"

"They intend to use the general as bait, getting him to block our army while these people take advantage of the opportunity to achieve great things." "Please allow me to explain the pros and cons of this matter to the general."

"The Wu army is now gathered in Qichun, totaling over 100,000 men. General, you have no more than 50,000 combatants. We will defend while you attack. You don't stand a chance."

"Even if we engage in a head-on battle, it's hard to say what benefits you can gain. My lord is in Wuchang, inspiring the army, and the soldiers are not afraid of death. The general is aware of this."

"You fight us here, while Hu Zun and others go and capture Jianye."

"The river is full of our warships, and our troops are stationed on both sides. General Lu's army is not far away. It is impossible for them to cross the river so easily."

"Even if they succeed, General, you won't gain anything. It will only incur the wrath of our army, who will attack yours with all their might, fighting to the death. Even if you win, I'm afraid your entire army will be left here."

"But if they fail to complete the task, then the fault will be the general's. It was the general's failure to control them that led to their defeat, and in the end, the general will bear the consequences."

"I think whether they win or lose, it won't be good for the general."

Wen Qin was silent for a long time and didn't say anything.

Zhang Ti then smiled and said, "Of course, we do have concerns. Whether they succeed or not, attacking Jianye will not be a good thing for us."

"I came to you, General, only to ask you to slow down the attack. You are not one of Hu Zun's generals, so why should you obey his orders?"

"If you are willing to slow down the pace of our attack, we can quickly reach Lujiang County and prevent Hu Zun and the others from making any rash attempts. In the end, neither side will suffer too many casualties."

Zhang Ti spoke very slowly and in a low voice, and his smile made him look so sincere.

Wen Qin and Jiao Yi looked at each other and seemed to be interested.

Just when Zhang Ti was about to say something else, Wen Qin suddenly frowned.

"Collaborating with the enemy and causing friendly forces to miss the opportunity to deploy troops, do you know what kind of crime this is?"

"General, this is not collusion."

"Someone come! Get them out!"

"How could I, a great general of the Great Wei, conspire with people like you?!"

Wen Qin waved his hand, and immediately a soldier pushed Zhang Ti out.

Zhang Ti was helpless. He got on the carriage and went to the city to report to Ding Feng.

Ding Feng had been waiting for news from him. When Zhang Ti appeared in front of him again, Ding Feng was very happy.

Zhang Ti was from Xiangyang. He became famous at a young age and was recruited by Zhuge Ke. He was promoted to the rank of colonel during the reign of Sun Xiu and now serves under Ding Feng.

This man was intelligent, eloquent, courageous, and most importantly, he was loyal to the government and fearless of death.

Ding Feng has always admired him and believed that he would be a pillar of the Wu Kingdom in the future. If he really couldn't find anyone this time, Ding Feng would never have let him go to Wen Qin.

Seeing him come back, Ding Feng hurriedly asked, "How is the matter going?"

Zhang Ti shook his head. "General, we failed. Wen Qin did not agree to our terms."

Ding Feng sighed.

Zhang Ti continued, "But he didn't kill me, he just drove me out."

Ding Feng asked, "What happened?"

Zhang Ti informed Ding Feng of what had happened, adding, "If Wen Qin was worried that others would use this as a pretext, he should have killed me. But he didn't. I think he was willing to do so, but he didn't dare to openly collude with us, so he drove me away."

Ding Feng nodded, "Then it depends on the next few days."

Wen Qin did not slow down in the next few days. He launched a series of fierce attacks and almost broke through Qichun several times. The soldiers rushed to the city wall, and Ding Feng fought hard to repel them.

Just when Ding Feng felt that this matter had failed and he had no hope anymore, Wen Qin suddenly stopped the attack and even gave up the siege, retreated far away and set up a camp.

Ding Feng was overjoyed and he summoned the generals again.

"Wen Qin has been moved by our words. He doesn't dare to send out troops rashly anymore. His intention now is to give way to us. However, we can't be careless. Wen Qin is a veteran after all. He might take advantage of our division to attack Qichun!"

"I've already contacted General Shi. I'll lead a group of men from here to Songzi, then across Linhu Lake, and finally to Wujiang River. General Shi will go from Zhu County to Qichun, and then to Xunyang, strengthening the defenses of these three places, and then he'll split his troops to follow me."

"We will be at the Wujiang River, waiting for them to cross the river."

"Since Hu Zun is so determined to cross the river, then we must escort him across and make sure all of his 100,000-strong army dies at the bottom of the river!"

"If Hu Zun and Guanqiu Jian are defeated here, we can directly capture Huainan, Qingxu, and other places. Then we can besiege Wen Qin and perhaps even take Yuzhou."

When Ding Feng talked about his thoughts at this moment, they were exactly the same as Sun Hao's, with anticipation in his eyes and a smile on his lips.

For a time, scouts continuously set out from Qichun and headed for the surrounding counties, starting the strategic plan of the Wu State.

At this moment, Hu Zun was in Guangling County. After he captured this place, he ordered people to capture local famous people and asked them to accompany him for a drink and banquet.
