Chaos of the Three Kingdoms Summons

Chapter 2342 Qin Ji was demoted and given a mission in times of crisis

In fact, speaking from the perspective of ability alone, Qin Ji is naturally not qualified to suppress Wang Zhi or Le Yi.

However, because of Jiang Xiaobai, Wang Zhi and Le Yi have never had any chance to stand out. Although they have talents, they have hardly ever led any decent war independently.

As for Le Yi, after all, he was a surrendered general, and after joining Qin, he did not make many decent contributions. It was naturally impossible for the two of them to surpass a royal family general like Qin Ji and become the main general above Qin Ji.

As the clan's first general, Qin Ji has always been known to have made great contributions. His contributions are only second to those of a few people such as Han Xin.

Therefore, Wang Zhi and Yue Yi, the two god-level commanders, could only temporarily serve as Qin Ji's deputy generals.

This time, Qin Ji had lost two counties before he even fought any decent battle, which caused countless people to impeach him.

The most active civil officials on the front line, such as Lu Buwei, Fan Ju, Baili Xi, Zhu Zhiwu, Feng Quji and Bigan, continued to fan the flames behind the scenes.

Qin Zheng has so many top civil servants under his control, and the reason they impeached Qin Ji at this time is not that so many people have a grudge against him.

Instead, these people just wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to remove Qin Ji from the position of main general.

This first battle has fully proved Qin Ji's inability compared to Li Shimin, and has shattered their last bit of fantasy.

Although there are some disadvantages to changing generals at the last minute, judging from the result of this first battle, if a more capable person is not replaced, the army will inevitably be defeated in the end.

Therefore, so many people want to take advantage of this opportunity to remove Qin Ji.

Even Qin Zheng had such an idea.

Originally, Qin Zheng placed his hopes on Han Xin, hoping that after Han Xin could defeat the Qing Dynasty, he would concentrate the main force of Youzhou to fight against Li Tang.

Therefore, from the beginning, Qin Zheng did not hope that Qin Ji could defeat Li Tang by himself. His task, from the beginning, was actually to delay time and buy enough time for Han Xin to defeat the Qing Dynasty.

In the entire Youzhou area, only Han Xin could compete with Li Shimin in his ability to command troops.

However, Qin Ji still disappointed Qin Zheng in the end.

After careful consideration, Le Yi finally accepted the task and promoted him to be in charge of the important task of blocking Li Tang, while Qin Ji was demoted to Le Yi's deputy general.

Compared with Le Yi, Wang Zhi still lacks a lot of popularity. Moreover, he does not have the experience of being independent like Le Yi.

As the top general of Liu Bang, the old rival of the Qin government, Le Yi was the one who led most of Liu Bang's wars.

Moreover, if Le Yi was promoted, he would be able to better suppress the veteran generals of the You Qin forces.

As a surrendered general, most of the veteran generals of the You Qin faction had suffered at the hands of Yue Yi, but they were naturally not happy to have a surrendered general directly suppress them. However, if Qin Ji, the first general of the royal family, was willing to be under Yue Yi, no matter how unwilling others were, they could not say anything.

As the first general of the royal family, Qin Ji was one of the best among the veteran generals in terms of military exploits and qualifications. If he didn't object, then others had no right to object. And Qin Ji had lost two counties before the war even started, so what right did he have to object?
Although Han Xin, who led the Qing Dynasty battlefield, was in a much smoother situation, it was still not a realistic thing for him to defeat the Qing Dynasty in a short period of time as Qin Zheng wished.

Although no one in the Qing Dynasty was Han Xin's opponent, in fact, there was not even a god-level commander in the Qing Dynasty.

The highest one is Ye Baikui, whose status is not high enough now. However, he is only at the peak of his status, with a basic command of 100 points, which is still a lot worse than Han Xin.

Furthermore, his status was not high enough and he had no right to dominate the battlefield.

In addition to him, the permanent attribute points obtained after he became emperor improved Huang Taiji, and his basic command reached 99 points.

In short, there is a considerable gap between them and Han Xin.

Even the Qing army was several times larger than the army Han Xin could command, and Han Xin's army was mainly infantry. Youzhou's cavalry was strong in the Han Dynasty, but it was far from being comparable to the Qing army.

However, even so, Han Xin still managed to win three consecutive victories.

It's a pity that the battle didn't have any crucial effect. Facing the powerful cavalry of the Qing Dynasty, the damage that could be inflicted on the Qing army was limited.

After this, Huang Taiji truly learned how to ride on the wave of martial arts. Under the advice of his advisers including Fan Wencheng, Nalan Youci, Zhang Tingyu and Zhang Ying, he began to adopt a conservative strategy, seeking not to achieve merit but to avoid mistakes.

Fan Wencheng, Nalan Youci, Zhang Tingyu and Zhang Ying are all extraordinary talents, especially Fan Wencheng, whose intelligence has reached the pinnacle of the world.

Historically, when Fan Wencheng was 20 years old, he took the initiative to defect to the Later Jin Dynasty.

From the third year of Tiancong to the fifth year of Tiancong, in just two years, Fan Wencheng used his own abilities to completely conquer Huang Taiji. More importantly, Fan Wencheng relied on his own abilities to defeat the Ming Dynasty step by step and became one of the founding heroes of the Qing Dynasty. The Qing History Draft evaluated Fan Wencheng as "Wencheng made major plans, Zuotai assisted, and Zuo Ming was the highest meritorious official."

Before the Qing Dynasty entered the Pass, it was Fan Wencheng who made an indelible contribution to the transition from the Later Jin Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty by Huang Taiji and the transformation of the Qing Dynasty from a backward country to an advanced one.

Most of the regulations of the Qing Dynasty were created by him, and he was regarded as the top civil officials.

During the reign of Emperor Taizong of Qing Dynasty, he was highly relied upon and participated in decision-making on all matters, including strategies to attack the Ming Dynasty, instigating Ming officials to rebel, attacking Korea, pacifying Mongolia, and building national systems.

He was even more aggressive in his actions to destroy the Han Dynasty, and his intentions reached their peak during the Dorgon period. It was because Fan Wencheng strongly advised Dorgon at that time that Dorgon made up his mind to enter the pass and seize the entire Central Plains. Fan Wencheng's actions indirectly led to the demise of the Ming Dynasty.

As the first strategist and chief minister in the early Qing Dynasty, you can criticize his character, but you cannot deny his ability. Character and ability are never equal.

With the full support of counselors headed by Fan Wencheng, and with Huang Taiji beginning to adopt a steady and cautious approach that did not seek merit but only avoid mistakes, it became extremely difficult for Han Xin to win by using unexpected strategies.
