Referring to the famous scene of the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", "Marquis Wuxiang cursed Wang Lang" is one of them. In the novel, Wang Lang, who has six out of seventy, regardless of his age, followed the governor Of Dadu Cao Zhen on a campaign to resist Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition, and tried to persuade Zhuge Liang to surrender in front of the two armies, but was refuted by Kong Ming's set of arguments, and fell off his horse in a moment of anger and died.
Zhuge Liang
The historical Wang Lang not only did not die by Zhuge Liang, but became famous. His granddaughter Yuanji not only married Sima Zhao, but also gave birth to Sima Yan, the Emperor of Jinwu, and Sima You, the Prince of Qixian. And Wang Yuanji is one of the most popular female warriors in the Three Kingdoms theme game.
Wang Yuanji
Wang Lang, real name Wang Yan, character Jingxing, Donghai County Tan County people. Wang Langbo was knowledgeable and rigorous in his studies, and in his early years he studied under the eunuch Yang Ci (the grandfather of Cao Cao's master Yang Xiu), who served as Langzhong because of his proficiency in the classics, and was later transferred to Lingqiu as a county commander. In order to repay his master's kindness, Wang Lang resigned his official service at the time of Yang Ci's death, so he was elected as filial piety and was requisitioned by the government, but he refused to appoint him.
Later, at the recommendation of The Assassin Shi Taoqian of Xuzhou, Wang Lang was elected maocai (察舉制常科, known as Xiucai in the Western Han Dynasty, and changed to Maocai in the western Han Dynasty), and later served in Xuzhou as a zhizhong and became Tao Qian's adjutant. At that time, Emperor Xian of Han was controlled by Li Dai and Guo Feng, and Wang Lang and Xuzhou did not drive Zhao Yu, persuading Tao Qian to pay tribute to Emperor Xian of Han as a sign of loyalty, and Tao Qian followed the advice and sent Zhao Yu to Chang'an. Emperor Xian of Han was overjoyed and promoted Tao Qian to the post of Xuzhou Mu and General Andong, Zhao Yu as Guangling Taishou, and Wang Lang as Huiji Taishou.
After Wang Lang arrived in office, he discovered the habit of the people of Huijian County to sacrifice Qin Shi Huang again, but Wang Lang believed that Qin Shi Huang was cruel and harmful to the people and should not enjoy the same temple sacrifice as Xia Yu, so he ordered it to be banned. Wang Lang practiced benevolent government in Huiji, and although he had only been in office for four years, he was deeply loved by the local people.
Sun Ce
However, the good times did not last long, and Sun Ce, who was regarded as the spokesperson of Yuan Shu by the Jiangdong clan, crossed the river at this time to attack Jiangdong. The Hao clan in Jiangdong could not resist, and Sun Cebing came to the city of Huiji, and Cao Yufeng suggested that Wang Lang should stick to the wall and clear the field, avoid its sharp edges, and wait for help. However, Wang Lang believed that he was a local official appointed by the imperial court, who should protect the territory and the people, resist the invasion, and have the responsibility of defending the territory, so he led his troops to guard the imperial palace at Guling.
Although Wang Lang repelled Sun Ce's water army several times, Sun Ce defeated Wang Lang with the help of Sun Jing. Wang Lang had intended to go to Jiaozhou by sea, but was captured by Sun Ce halfway through. Xu Gong and Sheng Xian, who refused to submit to Sun Kunzhong, both died of death, and Because Wang Lang was famous, Sun Ce did not dare to harm him, and the villain Zhang Zhao persuaded him to surrender.
Wang Lang
It happened that at this time, Cao Cao went to the imperial court to ask for Wang Lang to be recruited, and Sun Ce did not want to publicly offend Cao Cao, so he allowed Wang Lang to return to the Central Plains. Wang Lang traveled for several years to reach Xudu, was appointed as a counselor, participated in the military, and became a humeral heavy subject in Cao Cao's camp.
Cao Zhen
Wang Lang served as the Taishou of Wei Commandery (魏郡太守), and was later transferred back to Luoyang, where he held the posts of Shaofu (少府), Fengchang (奉常), and Dali (大理), and was known for his trial and leniency of prisoners. Cao Pi declared himself empress dowager of the Han Dynasty, and changed Wang Lang's official position of Yushi Dafu to Sikong (司空) and made him the Marquis of Leping Township. Wang Lang advised Cao Pi to rest and recuperate, not to play out hunting, and always return to the palace in the middle of the night, which Cao Pi gladly accepted.
In 227, after Cao Pi's death, Cao Rui ascended the throne, and Wang Langjin was made the Marquis of Lanling and promoted to Situ. Wang Lang once advised Cao Rui to cherish the people's strength and not to build a palace, and Cao Rui had great respect for him. The following year, Wang Lang died of illness and was posthumously honored as Marquis Cheng, and his son Wang Su inherited the title of Marquis of Lanling. In July of the first four years, Cao Fang issued an edict to appoint Taiwei Huaxin, Situ Wang Lang and others to the temple court of Cao Cao.
