蒋奇 / Jiang Qi (late Han)

Overview

蒋奇 / Jiang Qi is a proposed Yuan-side protective commander in the pre-乌巢 logistics stage of the 官渡之战. He appears in 沮授’s warning that 袁绍 should send an additional force to patrol around 淳于琼’s grain convoy.

Current Profile

Jiang Qi’s current role is counterfactual but concrete. Ju Shou does not merely warn that supplies are vulnerable; he names Jiang Qi as the commander who should be assigned to an outer protective layer around the convoy.

Yuan Shao’s refusal leaves the convoy protection thinner than Ju Shou thinks necessary. Jiang Qi therefore functions in the wiki as the unchosen protective option that reveals the practical specificity of Ju Shou’s logistics warning before Cao Cao moves on the Wuchao supply target.

Key Characteristics

• Yuan-side commander named as a proposed convoy-protection actor.
• Part of Ju Shou’s practical logistics warning before Wuchao.
• Evidence that the Yuan camp had a specific defensive alternative available.
• Source-bounded figure whose importance is tied to an unadopted assignment.

Evidence

• Proposed patrol role: Hanji 1048 says Ju Shou recommends sending Jiang Qi to protect and patrol around Chunyu Qiong’s grain convoy.
• Refusal context: Hanji 1048 says Yuan Shao does not adopt Ju Shou’s warning.
• Campaign significance: Hanji 1048 places the rejected patrol before Xu You identifies Gushi and Wuchao as vulnerable supply sites.

Qualifications

The source gives Jiang Qi no independent biography. This page records only his role as the named unchosen solution inside Ju Shou’s convoy-defense advice.

What Changed

• Created a source-bounded page for Jiang Qi as the proposed outer-protection commander.
• Connected Jiang Qi to Ju Shou’s ignored logistics warning before Wuchao.

Relationships

• 沮授 - adviser who proposes Jiang Qi’s protective assignment.
• 袁绍 - leader who does not adopt the warning.
• 淳于琼 - convoy commander whose force would have received Jiang Qi’s outer protection.
• 乌巢夜袭 - later event made more likely by the ignored supply-protection advice.
• 官渡之战 - campaign setting in which Jiang Qi represents the unchosen defensive option.
• 进言拒绝叛逃级联 - related pattern where ignored advice and internal pressure turn Yuan’s advantages into vulnerabilities.
