In the late Three Kingdoms period, the famous generals of the Cao Wei regime withered away, the Cao clan generals Cao Xiu and Cao Zhen died one after another, Sima Yi, as a loyal and loyal vassal, and the general Cao Shuang jointly held the military power, and later Cao Shuang squeezed Out Sima Yi and promoted Sima Yi to Taifu, Ming Ascended and secretly surrendered, Cao Shuang monopolized power, and Sima Yi said that he was sick at home and waited for the opportunity.
In the first ten years (249), Sima Yi had been patient for a long time, and finally waited for the opportunity, when Cao Shuang accompanied Emperor Cao Fang to leave Luoyang to pay homage to Emperor Wei Ming's mausoleum at Gaoping Mausoleum, Sima Yi moved, and raised an army to control Luoyang, Kyoto, occupy the arsenal, and the tun soldiers fell into the water pontoon bridge.
Sima Yi then killed Cao Shuang and his henchmen, exterminating all three tribes, and from then on, Cao Wei's power fell into the hands of Sima Shi, an event known in history as the "Gaopingling Coup".
Then, it is worth noting that after the death of famous generals such as Cao Xiu and Cao Zhen, who was the only person who could call Sima Yi at that time? Why did he raise an army against Sima Yi, but ultimately failed?
At that time, the only person who could call Sima Yi was Wang Ling, who was the nephew of Situ Wang Yun.
Wang Ling was not a mediocre talent, Wang Ling was very talented in the military, in the Cao Pi era, Wang Ling performed well, worshiping the riding of Chang Shi and Yanzhou Assassin History. At the Battle of Dongkou, Wang Ling followed Zhang Liao to defeat the Wu general Lü Fan, the general Jia Jianwu, and the Marquis of Yicheng Ting.
At the Battle of Shiting, Wang Ling followed Cao Xiu in his crusade against Eastern Wu, and Cao Xiu's army was defeated, and in a critical moment, thanks to Wang Ling's efforts to turn the tide. Wang Ling later moved to Yangzhou and Yuzhou, and ruled the territory well.
After Cao Fang succeeded to the throne, Wang Ling paid homage to the general Zhengdong, joined forces with Sun Li to defeat the Wu general Quan Chun (全琮), and entered the Marquis of Nanxiang , the che general , and the yi tongsan division .
In the ninth year of the reign (248), Wang Lingdai Gao Rou became Sikong. In the first year of Jiaping (249), Jiang Ji was made a lieutenant.
From the above information, it can be seen that Wang Ling has a very good set of fighting and has the ability. In the third year of Jiaping (251), Wang Ling, dissatisfied with Sima Yi's usurpation of power, raised an army against Sima Yi.
At that time, Wang Ling was the only one who could call Sima Yi, but Wang Ling ultimately failed, so how did Wang Ling fail?
After Sima Yi killed Cao Shuang, Wang Ling was dissatisfied, and Wang Ling and Ling Huyu secretly joined forces, believing that the Wei emperor Cao Fang was faint and cowardly and subject to strong subjects, and heard that Cao Biao, the king of Chu, had wisdom and courage, and wanted to jointly establish him as emperor and welcome him to Xuchang Jiandu.
Wang Ling's plot was very secretive, sima Yi did not know it at first, but also actively co-opted Wang Ling, and after the coup d'état in Gaopingling, Sima Yi also promoted Wang Ling to the rank of lieutenant.
But Sima Yi was scheming, and at the same time he was a little wary of Wang Ling, what was going on?
At the beginning, Sima Yi once asked Jiang Ji, saying, "What is wang Ling's talent?" Jiang Ji replied that Wang Ling was unparalleled in the world, but his son Wang Guang had great ambitions and was even better than his father. As a result, Sima Yi was a little jealous in his heart and began to be wary of Wang Ling.
Wang Ling once told his son Wang Guang of the plan, and Wang Guang advised Wang Ling not to do so, saying that although Cao Shuang was acting recklessly and unpopular, Sima Yi's father and son both held military power and were not easy to overthrow, and Wang Ling could not listen to it at all.
The "Biography of King Ling of the Three Kingdoms" records that Sima Xuanwang both cursed Cao Shuang and Jin Ling as a lieutenant, false festivals. Ling and Yu secretly conspired, saying that the King of Qi did not hold the throne of heaven, and the King of Chu was long and talented, and wanted to meet the capital of Biao, Xuchang. In September of the first year of Jiaping's reign, Yu sent Zhang Shi to Baima to exchange questions with Biao. Ling also sent the people to Work hard to learn Luoyang, and the language was wide. As the saying goes: "Abolish the great things, do not be the first to cause trouble." ”
In January of the third year of Jiaping (251), Sun Quan of the State of Wu was afraid that after his death, the leader of the Wei army would drive straight in, so he ordered the blockade of Tushui. Wang Ling finally waited for the opportunity and thought that he could act, so he immediately asked Wei Guo to issue a "tiger charm" to attack the state of Wu and mobilize the Yangzhou army in order to launch a coup d'état and attack Sima Yi, but at this time, Sima Yi was already aware of Wang Ling's plan and ordered it not to be allowed.
When Wang Ling saw that he could not get the Tiger Charm, he sent his confidant Yang Hong to persuade the new Yanzhou Assassin Shi Huanghua to meet and jointly raise a matter. Unexpectedly, Yang Hong and Huang Hua immediately betrayed Wang Ling, and they jointly played Sima Yi and informed Wang Ling of the news that he was going to defect. In April of the same year, Sima Yi saw that the time was ripe, mobilized tens of thousands of horses, marched south from the waterway, first ordered Wang Ling's crimes to be pardoned, then wrote a letter to Wang Ling, and suddenly led a large army to Baishiyan and directly approached Shouchun (present-day Shou County, Anhui).
Wang Ling found that the situation was not good, he could not get the tiger charm, and the soldiers and horses of his headquarters could not fight against Sima Yi's army at all, and had no chance of victory, so he personally went to Wuqiu and surrendered to Sima Yi in front of Sima Yi's big ship.
Wang Ling saw Sima Yi and said to him, If I am guilty, the public can recall me with half a piece of bamboo, it is a very simple thing, why bother personally lead the army to come? Sima Yi said, Junfei is not a guest of jane! Wang Ling shouted, Taifu is sorry for me. Sima Yi said, I would rather be sorry for you than sorry for Your Majesty! He immediately ordered the sergeant to escort Wang Ling away.
Sima Yi then sent 600 infantry and cavalry to escort Wang Ling overland to Luoyang. When he reached Xiangcheng, Wang Ling, in order to test Sima Yi's attitude towards himself and whether he would kill him, asked the escort captain for the nail of the coffin. After the captain asked Sima Yi, he gave Wang Ling an iron nail. Wang Ling knew that he would undoubtedly die this time, and when he passed the Jia Kui Temple, Wang Ling shouted, Jia Liang Dao, Jia Liang Dao, only you know that Wang Ling is a loyal servant of Great Wei! Jia Kui was an accomplice of Sima Zhao, the father of Jia Chong, who instigated Cheng Ji to kill Emperor Cao of Wei. This also left an allusion to the "Wang Linghu Temple".
That night, Wang Ling found all his former subordinates and left a last word, saying to them, "I Wang Ling is almost eighty years old, and I didn't expect to be ruined!" So he drank poison and committed suicide.
The "Biography of Wang Ling of the Three Kingdoms" records that in the spring of the third year, Wu Thief stuffed the water. Ling wanted to be therefore sent out, and the great yan of the armies begged for thieves; the edict did not listen. Ling's plot was so bad that he sent the general Yang Hong to sue Shi Huanghua of The Prefecture of Renunciation, and Hua and Honglian took the name of Sima Xuan the Prince of Bai. King Xuan took advantage of the waterway to beg Ling, first pardoned Ling's sins, and then made Shang Shu Guangdong Shu Ling, and the army covered up to a hundred feet to persecute Ling. Ling Zi knew that he was poor, so he took a boat to greet King Xuan, sent Wang Yu to apologize for his sins, and sent him a seal and a festival. The army went to the head of the hill and tied the water to the face. King Xuan sent the master to untie the rebels, see Ling, comfort him, and also seal silk and festivals, and send six hundred people on foot and horseback to Kyoto. Ling Zhixiang, drinking medicine and dying.
After Wang Ling's death, Sima Yi was still not satisfied, and ordered that Wang Ling and Ling Hu be violently killed for three days, and all those who participated in the coup d'état were killed, and Cao Biao, the king of Chu, was also forced to commit suicide.
The "Biography of King Ling of the Three Kingdoms" records that King Xuan went to Shouchun. Zhang Shi and others all surrendered themselves, but they were poor at their disposal. Biao gave death, and the three tribes of The Three Tribes were connected.
At this point, Wang Ling's campaign against Sima Yi was completely declared a failure, and the only person who could call Sima Yi was betrayed by the traitors Yang Hong and Huang Hua, which led to the final failure, which was regrettable.
