Wei Xi was not loyal to Li Qi, he was loyal to the Han Dynasty.

Therefore, in the original history, Wei Tie's rebellion was often associated with the Battle of Xiangfan when Liu Bei captured Hanzhong and Guan Yu. Later historians believed that Wei Tie's rebellion in Yedu was to cooperate with Liu Bei's forces internally and externally.

Li Qi seized this point and sent people to convince Wei Xi that although there was no hope of reviving the Han Dynasty, Cao Wei could be overthrown and allowed to bury the Han Dynasty.

The "Book of Rites" emphasizes: "The enmity between a king and his father should not be shared by the same country; the enmity between brothers should not be opposed by military revolution; the enmity between friendship and friendship should not be with the same country."

This means that for the revenge of killing the king and killing the father, you and your enemy cannot live under the same sky. As long as you are still on the earth, you must kill your enemy; brothers' revenge must also be avenged, but in normal life

You still have to do it, because you have to serve the king and your father. But you can't lay down your weapons, and you have to be ready for revenge at any time; the revenge of friends does not necessarily have to be life-and-death. If the enemy escapes from the country, it will stop.

Wei Xi, who was in Cao Wei, certainly knew that the last emperor of the Han Dynasty was actually still alive, but the Han Dynasty was dead, and the culprit was the Cao family.

Wei Xi knew Li Qi's intention, so he accepted Li Qi's "invitation". It was not that he was deceived by Li Qi, but that he had similar thoughts, and Li Qi led Cao Pi to the decisive battle at Guandu, providing Wei Xi with a

A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

The two sides hit it off immediately, and Li Qi continued to deal with Cao Pi in Guandu, while Wei Xi burned Cao Pi's backyard in Yedu.

Wei Xi's actions this time were more prudent than in the original history:

First, he abandoned Chen Yi, who betrayed him, making his actions more confidential;

Secondly, in the original history, Cao Cao was marching outside, and Cao Pi was supervising the country. But now that Cao Cao has passed away, Cao Pi is the commander of the expedition, and the top leaders of the Cao family, Sima family, Xun family and other interest groups are dead and gone.

left, leaving Yedu lacking authoritative supervisors;

Third, in order to ensure that everything was safe, Li Qi sent Chen Dao to lead a team of elite soldiers who transformed into traders and sneaked into Yedu to meet Wei Xi.

Cao Pi, who was far away in Guandu, was shocked when he heard that there was a large-scale mutiny in the Yedu palace.

There are also rumors that Queen Guo, Princess Zhen, and Duke Cao Rui of Qi were kidnapped by the rebels, and the situation inside and outside the palace was tense.

Cao Pi was shocked and angry, and asked: "Yedu still has more than 10,000 defenders, including 3,000 Yulin troops. How come they can't even capture the rebels?"

The messenger said: "When Wei Xi launched a rebellion, the city defenders were about to rush to the palace to quell the rebellion, but Chen Dao, a general of the Tang army, took the opportunity to take control of the city tower. The defenders were afraid that the Tang army would cooperate with the outside world, and more troops poured into the city.

, had no choice but to return to the tower to garrison, but they were accidentally ambushed by the Tang army."

As the messenger reported the situation, Cao Pi gradually calmed down.

After careful consideration, he guessed that Chen Dao had entered the city in disguise, which showed that the Tang army had colluded with Wei Xi and everything was just a step-by-step operation.

The matter is so important that all the generals dare not speak.

Cao Pi glanced at the ministers coldly and said: "Queen, the prince is being held hostage, I cannot ignore it. Now I order the general of the army, Wang Tu, to lead troops back to Yedu for rescue in my name."

Wang Tu: "..."

What does it mean for a mere guard general to march in the name of the emperor?

This is really bait.

It is said that Cao Pi forced his younger brother to compose poems and ignored brotherly love. What happened today is even worse.

Li Qi burned Cao Pi's backyard just to prevent Cao Pi from looking after each other. If Cao Pi returns to rescue Yedu, Li Qi will definitely set an ambush on the way. As long as Cao Pi is captured alive, the overall situation of the world will be decided.

Cao Pi saw through Li Qi's plan and asked Wang Tu to march in the formation of the Emperor of Wei in order to lure Li Qi to pursue him.

His cold-blooded ruthlessness is not reflected in his disregard for Wang Tu's life or death, but his disregard for the life and death of the Cao family in the palace. If the Tang army can be surrounded and annihilated, whether the people in the palace are saved or not will not affect the Wei Dynasty.

Wang Tu knew it was a plan, but the king asked his minister to die, and he had to die, so he had no choice but to act according to the plan.

However, Wang Tu seemed to have greater luck. He slightly opened up the distance between the marching troops, allowing the 10,000 troops to go out to 20,000 troops, thereby paralyzing the Tang army. But until Wang Tu marched to Fengqiu, he also

No Tang troops were seen ambushing him.

It turned out that Li Qi had no intention of ambushing Cao Pi on the way.

Li Qi was not sure whether Cao Pi would personally lead his troops back to aid Yedu due to the tense situation. Li Qi only knew that if Cao Pi really wanted to return to aid Yedu, then the Guandu camp would be empty; if Cao Pi pretended to return to aid Yedu, then

There must be precautions on the way. So no matter what the calculation, it is more cost-effective to attack the Guandu camp directly.

Cao Pi was confident that he had seen through Li Qi's plan. Not only did he let Wang Tu take away 10,000 troops, but he also sent Xia Houyuan and other generals who were good at conquering and fighting to set up camp step by step on the way to intercept the Tang army. In this way, the Guandu camp seemed relatively insignificant.

Very empty.

It wasn't until the military flag with the word "Tang" appeared in his field of vision that Cao Pi realized that he had miscalculated again.

Of course, where the Emperor of Wei was, there was still no shortage of good soldiers and generals. Cao Pi borrowed the horses and arrow towers around the camp to immediately organize a resistance, repelling the Tang army wave after wave.

However, the Tang army rushed forward and succeeded, and there seemed to be no end in sight.

"It seems that Li Qi is planning to attack our Guandu camp this time." Cao Pi said.

"The Tang army is approaching fiercely, and for the sake of your majesty's safety, I ask your majesty to get on your horse and leave the dangerous area immediately." Adviser Liu Ye suggested.

Cao Pi said: "If I are in the camp, there are still soldiers and defensive formations. Once I leave the camp, I am afraid that I will be a prisoner of the Tang army in the blink of an eye."

After that, he ignored Liu Ye's advice and continued to stay in the camp to command the battle.

There is nothing more secure than staying in your own military camp.

Suddenly it was reported: "Tang Jun Zhang Fei led his troops to attack from the north."

Cao Pi thought to himself, it's a good thing he didn't follow Liu Ye's suggestion to retreat, otherwise, wouldn't he have just bumped into Zhang Fei's arms?

Just when we were rejoicing, another spy came to report: "The Tang army, Gan Ning, is coming from the south."

Cao Pi once again organized his soldiers to resist to the south of the camp. Immediately, someone came to report: "Tang Jun Guan Yu is coming from the west to kill."

Cao Pi: "..."

You are so surrounded!

Obviously, there is no military information coming from the east, but the east may be the most dangerous.

If I had just followed Liu Ye’s advice...

Liu Ye said: "Now the Tang army is encircling us from three sides, leaving only the east side to leave with us. I know there must be an ambush in the east. Now that the matter has come to this, Your Majesty cannot move lightly. We can only stick to the camp and wait for Xiahou Miaocai to return for reinforcements."

Cao Pi nodded silently, now it was time to see when Xia Houyuan would react.

Xia Houyuan followed Wang Tu so that he could attack the Tang army at any time.

The problem is that Xia Houyuan does not know when and where the Tang army will ambush Wang Tu. Therefore, when will he guess that Li Qi will not intercept and kill Wang Tu, but intends to attack the Guandu barracks? It all depends on his long-term relationship with Li Qi.
