There are many legendary women in the Three Kingdoms period, such as Zhen Mi, Fu Shou, Cai Wenji, Lady Xu and others, they are either witty, or quick-witted, or bold, so they have left a lot of stories that can be sung and wept, and today the author wants to talk about this is even more legendary, she once wore dung-soaked clothes in order to save herself, and in the following years, wore battle armor, helped her husband resist Ma Chao, and guarded Jicheng, so who is this legendary woman?
The Feast of Chastity
Wang Yi has always been known for his resourcefulness, her husband is Zhao Ang, when Zhao Ang served as Qiang Daoling, Wang Yi and his children stayed in Xicheng, Tianshui County, and did not go together, and later Liang Shuang, a member of the same county, rebelled, led his troops to attack Xicheng, and killed Wang Yi's two sons, Wang Yi was very sad for a while, and he had the idea of taking his own life, but when he looked back and saw his little daughter, he gave up the idea of taking his own life, and she lamented to her little daughter: "I am dead, what should you do?" I heard that even Xi Shi, as long as you wear unclean clothes, you will be far away from others, not to mention that I do not have Xi Shi beauty? ”
So she soaked the mai in the dung water, and when the hemp clothes were dried, she put the sackcloth on her body, and from then on, she rarely ate, became thin and weak, and disguised herself in this way, some people saw Wang Yi like this, so they let go of Wang Yi's mother and daughter, and Wang Yi finally survived in this way. A year later, Liang Shuang reconciled with the prefecture and county officials, zhao Ang sent someone to pick up Wang Yi's half-daughter, and when it came to the official house, Wang Yi was slow to enter, and said to his daughter: "The reason why I was killed and did not die was to take care of you, and now I have sent you back to my father, I can leave, so I took poison and committed suicide, fortunately, someone provided a soup medicine to understand the poison, and forcibly poured it into Wang Yi's mouth, which saved Wang Yi's life."
Resist Ma Chao
Zhao Ang was later transferred to Jicheng, and Wang Yi followed. Ma Chao rebelled and led an army to attack Jicheng, and Wang Yi, dressed in a military uniform, helped her husband Zhao Ang defend the city, and rewarded the soldiers with beads and rings on his body to inspire the army. At that time, Ma Chao led his army to attack in a hurry, and Jicheng was in danger, and Shi Weikang could not bear to fight again, so he wanted to make peace with Ma Chao.
At that time, after Zhao Ang knew about this matter, he consulted with Wang Yi, who said to Zhao Ang after he knew: "A courtier should have the ability to react to dictatorial powers, sometimes it is not necessarily a fault, who knows if he will come to the rescue?" We should encourage the soldiers to repay the country with their deaths, and we cannot obey the will of the thief", so we decided to defend the city to the end, and as a result, when Zhao Ang returned to his post, Wei Kang had already made peace with Ma Chao, and later, Ma Chao treacherously killed Wei Kang and asked Zhao Ang to take his son as a hostage, and Zhao Ang became Ma Chao's subordinate.
Design the restoration of the city, adhere to the city
At that time, Ma Chao wanted to reuse Zhao Ang, but for a while he was still suspicious of Zhao Ang and could not make a decision. Ma Chao's wife heard about Wang Yi's integrity, so she invited Wang Yi to dinner, so Wang Yi wanted to make a plan to restore the city, so she said to Ma Chao's wife: "When Guan Zhong was the prime minister in the State of Qi, he made great contributions to the State of Qi, and Yu assisted Qin Mugong to achieve hegemony, and now that Jicheng has just been pacified, it is the time to employ people, and more talents should be promoted, so that the army of Liangzhou can compete with the Central Plains army", Ma Chao's wife deeply agreed with Wang Yi's view, and felt that Wang Yi was a person who stood on Ma Chao's side, so she slowly let go of her guard and accepted Wang Yi. Because of this relationship, Zhao Ang also got Ma Chao's heavy use, so that Zhao Ang had a certain strength, and later Zhao Ang and others expelled Ma Chao and restored Jicheng, and Wang Yi made many suggestions and made great contributions in it.
At the beginning, before the incident, Zhao Ang was worried about the safety of his son Zhao Yue, and when Wang Yi knew about it, he said to Zhao Ang: "Loyalty and righteousness are the foundation of people, and now we want the shame of Xuejun's father, and it is still difficult to protect ourselves, let alone a son." After hearing this, Zhao Ang took up an incident and expelled Ma Chao together with everyone. After Ma Chao failed, he defected to Zhang Lu, and soon returned with troops to retake Jicheng, at this time Wang Yi and Zhao Ang guarded Qishan Mountain together, and were once again surrounded by Ma Chao, but Ma Chao was difficult to conquer for a while, and soon Cao Jun arrived and solved this crisis. But unfortunately, Wang Yi's son Zhao Yue was killed by Ma Chao, and Wang Yi showed tenacity and resourcefulness in a series of events, and his deeds were widely praised by later generations.
