Le Qi, a native of Yangping County during the Three Kingdoms period, was the son of Le Jin, the right general during the Cao Wei period. When Le Jin was alive, he was named the Marquis of Guangchang Pavilion by Wei because of his military exploits. After Le Jin died, Le Jin inherited his father's title and became the Marquis of Guangchang Pavilion. Since he was a child, he followed his father in the army, and he was resolute and resolute, and he acted vigorously and resolutely, quite like his father's style.
In 255, Le Qi participated in Sima Shi's crusade against Biqiu Jian and Wen Qin. In this battle, Sima Shi personally commanded the army, and Le Qi became one of them. Wen Qin faced Sima Shi's army and chose to retreat. Seeing this, Sima Shi immediately sent Le Qi and other generals to lead the infantry to follow closely and pursue him. When Le Qi and the others chased to Shayang, they led the elite horsemen and rushed into Wen Qin's array.
Wen Chin's army, under the onslaught of Leqi, fell into disarray and was unable to organize effective resistance. Eventually, Wen Qin's men laid down their arms and surrendered to the Wei army led by Le Qi. Le Qi was appreciated by Sima Shi and was appointed as the assassin of Yangzhou. Yangzhou was located between the Yangtze River and the Huai River and was a strategic place at that time.
In 257, Zhuge Dan summoned the generals to rebel because he was dissatisfied with Sima's autocratic power. He personally led hundreds of soldiers of his cronies to Yangzhou Prefecture, with the purpose of capturing and persuading Le Qi, who was then the assassin of Yangzhou, to join his rebellion.
At that time, because the defenders of Yangzhou realized that Zhuge Dan's arrival was ill-intentioned, they closed the city gates to prevent the rebels from entering. But Zhuge shouted loudly to remind the people of the city that they were once his subordinates, and using his old subordination, he succeeded in opening the city gates and allowing his troops to enter the city without any problems.
Faced with a sudden rebel, Le Qi realizes that his situation is very dangerous. Pursued by the rebels, he fled to a building and tried to take refuge. However, Zhuge Dan's army did not give up the pursuit, and they followed closely behind, eventually finding Le Qi in the building and beheading him.
