First of all, when it comes to Wang Meng, people who know a little about the history of the Three Kingdoms should not be too unfamiliar, and his life is quite brilliant.
Many people will wonder, why compare him with Zhuge Liang? What is he like to Zhuge Liang?
Wang Meng was born into poverty, and the young one was somewhat similar to Liu Bei, who sold straw shoes, and he made a living by selling běn jī.
Wang Meng especially liked to read, study assiduously, and extensively absorb all kinds of knowledge, especially military science knowledge.
He and Zhuge Liang have a big difference, Zhuge Liang has been staying at home before he left the mountain, waiting for others to come to the door to invite.
Wang Meng was different, he belonged to the kind of person who didn't have the opportunity to create opportunities, he had gone to the later Zhao capital Yecheng, but no one could look up to him, after all, he was just a poor boy selling dustpans at that time. Only one person named Xu Tong thought he was not bad, so he wanted to recruit Wang Meng as his Gong Cao, but Wang Meng refused, which was not what Wang Meng wanted.
Wang Meng did not look up to the Later Zhao regime at all, the Later Zhao Emperor was Shi Hu, and Shi Hu was a famous tyrant who killed people like hemp!
Later, the Eastern Jin Dynasty Jingzhou town general Huan Wen northern expedition, defeated Jian Jian, garrisoned on the edge of Chang'an City, Wang Meng heard the news, wearing a sackcloth short coat, directly to Huan Wen camp to ask for a meeting.
Huan Wen asked Wang Meng to talk about his views on the current situation, and while Wang Meng was catching lice, he talked about the world's major events, talking endlessly, and there was no one around. Huan Wen saw this scene and was secretly surprised in his heart.
Wang Meng's purpose of coming here was only to broaden his horizons, not to seek an official, but to personally feel Huan Wen as a person. He knew in his heart that Huan Wen did not really want to recover the north, but only regarded this as his political capital.
Huan Wen asked Wang Meng, "On the orders of the Son of Heaven, I commanded 100,000 elite soldiers to fight against the rebels and thieves and eliminate harm for the people, but Guanzhong Haojie did not come to me to comfort me.
Wang Meng replied bluntly: "You are not far away and thousands of miles deep into the north, Chang'an City is close at hand, and you do not cross the bashui to take it down, people can't understand your thoughts, so they refuse to come."
Huan Wen's mind was that he could only gain a false name by restoring Guanzhong, but the territory would fall to the imperial court; instead of consuming strength and losing the advantage of competing with the imperial court, it was better to leave the enemy to respect himself.
Wang Meng's words with a secret organ touched his heart, and he was silent for a long time, speechless. After a long time, Huan Wen raised his head and said slowly, "No one in Jiangdong can match your talent!"
Before Huan Wen left, he invited Wang Meng to go to the Eastern Jin Dynasty to create a great cause together, gave the carriage, and gave the high-standard escort, but Wang Meng still resolutely refused. Go back to the mountains and continue to study in seclusion.
When Jian Jian found Wang Meng, as soon as they met, they knew each other like ordinary people, talked about major events in the rise and fall of the country, and speculated every sentence, and Jian Jian felt like Liu Bei had met Zhuge Liang in the past, like a fish in the water. Therefore, Wang Meng stayed by Jian Jian's side and advised him.
Wang Meng ruled the country, making Former Qin the most dynamic of the kingdoms, so he dared to compete with the crowd, and the more he fought, the stronger he became, and within ten years he unified the north.
In this process, Wang Meng often commanded troops to recruit, attack and conquer, and win battles, showing outstanding military ability and the demeanor of a general.
Wang Meng was an almost all-powerful politician, and he also possessed many advantages in politicians such as Cao Cao, Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei, Shang Martin, and Guan Zhong. And his vision is poisonous, and he is very accurate in judging the future trend.
When Jian Jian first came to power, the capital city was powerful and powerful, and robberies were frequent, and Jian Jian ordered Wang Meng to also lead the Shiping Order. Wang Meng expounded the law and discipline, punished evil and promoted good.
He is not afraid of being strong and strong, and he is guilty of the rule of law. Guanglu Dafu Qiangde (the younger brother of the empress), who relied on his power to oppress the good people and plunder wealth, did no evil.
Wang Meng arrested him and flogged him to death, leaving his body in the downtown area to warn the wicked. After killing more than twenty people in dozens of days, the peace and order of Shiping immediately improved.
Before Murong Chui defected to Former Qin, Wang Meng said to Jian Jian: "Murong Chui's father and son are not people who can be tamed, it is impossible to control, and they should be killed as soon as possible."
When Wang Meng was in power, Jian Jian asked him to cut off all military and domestic affairs, and he himself sat on the top of the court.
He once said to Wang Meng with great gratitude: "You work hard day and night, worry about all opportunities, I am as if King Wen of Zhou has obtained Jiang Taigong, and I can enjoy the blessings of Qingyou!"
Wang Meng said, "I didn't expect Your Majesty to have such a high opinion of his subjects, where are the subjects worthy of comparing with the ancients?" Jian Jian said, "According to my opinion, how can Taigong Jiang be stronger than you?" He often instructed the crown prince and other royal sons, saying, "Serve the prince as you serve me!"
He fell ill in June of the eleventh year of the former Qin Jianyuan. Jian Jian personally prayed for Wang Meng and sent his attendants to pray all over the famous mountains and rivers. It happened that Wang Meng's condition improved, and Jian Jian was overjoyed and ordered a pardon for the following capital crimes.
In July of the same year, Jian Jian saw that Wang Meng was critically ill and quickly inquired about the aftermath. Wang Meng opened his eyes, looked at Jian Jian and said, "Although the Jin Dynasty is located in the south of the Jiangsu Province, it is orthodox in China, and it is peaceful and peaceful. After the death of his subjects, His Majesty must not attempt to destroy the Jin Dynasty.
Xianbei and Xiqiang's surrender to the nobles and thieves is not dead, they are the enemies of our country, and sooner or later they will become a scourge, and they should be gradually eradicated for the benefit of the country. When he finished, he stopped breathing.
Jian Jian wept three times at the coffin and said to Crown Prince Gonghong, "God doesn't want me to unify the world."
Therefore, according to the highest specifications of the Han Dynasty's burial of the great Sima general Huo Guang, Wang Meng was solemnly buried and posthumously honored as "Marquis wu". The cries of the Qin kingdom shook the wilderness for three days.
