Youzhou, the camp of Li Yi, the king of Yan. Li Yi sat on top of the handsome seat and buried himself in official business. Two guards stood behind him, escorted by his side.

Yang He, the general of Youzhou Zuo, walked into the camp tent and reported to Li Yiyu: "The marshal, Li Shimin's son, the king of Zhongshan County, Li Chengqian, has arrived. ”

Li Yi raised his head and said with a little surprise: "Li Chengqian has arrived?" So fast, it seems that Li Shimin is also eager to make peace. Could it be that he really cherished those lowly people and soldiers like cattle and horses, and could not bear to suffer from the war? The kindness of a woman, a fool. ”

Yang He didn't answer Li Yi's words, but asked, "Dashuai, Li Chengqian has arrived." Look, how do we arrange him? ”

Li Yi thought for a while and said: "At the back of the barracks, I remember that there is a horse pen, and some of it is freed up for Li Chengqian's entourage to live. As for meals? Take care of them one meal a day, and ask the sergeants to eat the leftovers for them, as long as they don't starve to death. ”

Yang He said with a unbearable face: "Dashuai, Li Chengqian is Li Shimin's son after all, now in our military camp, we are so harsh on him, Li Shimin knows, how will Dashuai get along with Li Shimin and meet in the future?" ”

Li Yi's face suddenly sank, and he scolded: "Why are you distressed? In a few days, Ben Shuai will be able to go to Chang'an to ascend the throne and be the emperor, and Li Shimin will become a prisoner. ”

Yang He had no choice but to leave Li Yi's big tent and carry out Li Yi's orders.

Looking at Yang He's departing back, Li Yi ordered one of the guards behind him: "Follow him quietly and see who he has come into contact with and what his actions are?" He Yang and his heart are towards Datang, and I am becoming more and more uneasy to use. ”

Placing Li Chengqian, eldest grandson Wuji and others in the horse circle, Yang He sullenly walked into the camp of Yang Qi, the right general of the Youzhou Army.

Seeing Yang He, Yang Qi immediately greeted him and said, "Big brother, why are you sullen? Could it be something sad? ”

Yang He looked at Yang Qi, this is his sworn brother who intersects with life and death, the two come from two adjacent villages, they have known each other since childhood, they enlisted in the army together, made contributions together, became generals together, and were like brothers.

Yang He said to Yang Qi: "King Yan placed Li Chengqian in the horse pen, serving one meal a day, and he still dreamed of being the emperor of Chang'an, he was going to fight against the Tang Dynasty to the end." Li Shimin has become the master of the whole world, this is already the consensus of the whole world, Li Yi, the king of Yan, is looking for death, he Li Yi led the army and killed soldiers, so tyrannical, even if he was lucky enough to become the emperor, it is not the blessing of all the people in the world, he will be more tyrannical than Emperor Yang Guang of Sui, more murderous, and will bring disaster to the world. ”

Yang Qi also said with a sad face: "Then what does the eldest brother say?" ”

Yang He said with an unusually resolute attitude: "We can't accompany Li Yi to die. You and my brothers join forces to get rid of Li Yi and take refuge in Datang, this is our only way out. ”

Yang Qi looked pensive, and after a long time, he said: "Okay, just follow what the eldest brother said, get rid of Li Yi and take refuge in Datang." ”

After that, Yang He returned to his camp and began to gather soldiers and generals to plot to get rid of Li Yi.

The tent of Li Yi, the king of Yan.

Li Yi's personal guard reported to Li Yiyu: "Dashuai, after Yang He left the tent, he placed Li Chengqian and his party, and went to the camp of the right general Yang Qi, and after that, he began to secretly gather generals in order to be unfavorable to the marshal." ”

Li Yi groaned slightly: "Yang Qi? Right General Yang Qi? Yang He's sworn brother? Yang He went to his tent and said to him, do you know? ”

The guard replied, "Well, I don't know. They were talking in the tent, and I did not dare to come too close, for fear of startling the snakes and alarming them. ”

Li Yi stood up and paced back and forth: "Yang Qi? Yang Qi? Does he have a problem? Have you ever been in cahoots with Yang He, waiting for an opportunity to rebel? ”

The guard said: "Marshal, I don't think there is a problem with General Yang Qi. He is not like Yang He, who has the same heart for the Tang Dynasty, and General Yang Qi has always been a confidant of the marshal's henchmen, and he has always strictly implemented the marshal's orders and has not disobeyed. ”

Li Yi stopped and said, "Yang Qi, I still trust." But I can't believe it all, I'm going to test him to see if he's completely faithful to me. ”

At night, Li Yi beat the drum to gather the generals, and all the generals of the Youzhou Army gathered in the camp of Li Yi, the king of Yan.

When the generals arrived, Li Yi sat on the handsome seat and said coldly to the outside of the camp: "Bring it up!" ”

Yang He, the left general of the Youzhou Army, was tied up and escorted into the camp tent.

Seeing Yang He being arrested, all the generals in the camp were shocked, and Yang Qi, the right general of the Youzhou Army, was very uneasy in his heart, he knew that Yang He's plan had been leaked, but he didn't know if he had also been exposed. He was expressionless, watching the situation unfold.

Li Yi pretended to glance at Yang He unintentionally, and found that Yang Qi's expression was as usual, and he didn't panic too much, he felt that Yang Qi was still loyal to himself as he had speculated, and he had nothing to do with Yang He.

Li Yi said to Yang He: "Bold Yang He, intending to launch a mutiny, murder Ben Shuai, and take refuge in the Tang Dynasty, are you guilty?" ”

Yang He scolded: "Li Yi, you butcher, you and the Tang Dynasty have no intention of seeking peace, and they are trying to become the emperor and replace Li Tang, you are wishful thinking, and not to mention whether the people of the world support you, just ask your subordinates, our old departments will not support you." If you vainly try to fight with Li Tang, fight with the people of the world, and fight with the sky, you will not end well. I curse you, and you will not die well. ”

Hearing what Yang He said, the camp tent was suddenly frightened, and looked at Li Yi with a suspicious face. Datang has been founding the People's Republic of China for nine years, and the people's hearts are attached, at this time, if you go against Li Tang, it is to find death, and when you rebelled with Li Yi, it was for Datang to make peace and raise the price. Who would have thought that Li Yi would fake peace and vainly want to replace Li Tang, this is really a bold and anti-heaven move.

Li Yi "snapped", slapped the table and stood up, and scolded: "Yang He, you disloyal and unrighteous villain, you don't want to think about who promoted you and made you to the high position of the left general of my Youzhou Army?" That's Ben Shuai, Ben Shuai personally pulled you out, you dared to betray me and put me to death. Ben Shuai is plotting against this world, what's wrong? Who stipulated that only his Li Shimin family could be the emperor in this world, why can't I, Li Yi, do it? ”

After being furious, Li Yi looked around at the generals in the camp and said, "Who is willing to kill Yang and this ungrateful villain for me?" ”

The generals were silent.
