During the Three Kingdoms, Cao Cao inspected the prison, and a prisoner stared at him with anticipation in his eyes. Cao Cao felt that this person was familiar, and he couldn't remember who it was, so he asked: Do you know Lu Bu......
In the long history of ancient China, the Three Kingdoms period is undoubtedly a legendary era. During this period, the politics were volatile, the military conflicts continued, and the heroes were numerous, and the stories of this period were told and compiled by later generations, and became a good story for the ages. However, behind the glorious heroic epic, there are many hidden details that make up the other side of history, which are no less talked.
Around 200 AD, the northern region under the rule of Cao Cao, Emperor Wu of Wei, was in a state of turmoil. Although Dong Zhuo's death ended a tyranny, it also started a new power struggle. In this context, the princes were divided, heroes were born, and the situation of the three kingdoms gradually formed. Among these many heroes, Wang Yun is undoubtedly a very legendary figure. As the nephew of Situ Wang Yun, Wang Ling's identity was also quite eye-catching in the society at that time.
Wang Yun, with his superb wisdom and foresight, united with Lu Bu in the era of Dong Zhuo's dictatorship, and used stratagem to behead Dong Zhuo under his horse, becoming a hero for a while. But the wheels of history are rolling forward, and heroes are finally defeated by the changes of the times. In the chaos after Dong Zhuo's death, Wang Yun also failed to save his life, and finally ended in tragedy.
However, the long river of history is always turbulent, and the hero's descendant Wang Ling was imprisoned due to a series of political disputes under Cao Cao's rule. In the social background at that time, officialdom was like a battlefield, and one misstep was a catastrophe. Wang Ling's fate seems to be difficult to get rid of the fate of this era.
Sunlight filtered through the narrow windows, dappled onto the prison's stone floors, and the air smelled damp and rotten. Cao Cao, the core of power in the Wei state, walked into this place of despair with a blank face. The prisoners were all dejected, and there was only one person, his gaze fixed firmly on Cao Cao, and those eyes were full of indescribable anticipation.
Cao Cao paused and examined the prisoner. The man's hair was shaved and his beard was shaved clean, but there seemed to be an indomitable spirit hidden between his clear eyebrows and eyes. Cao Cao's heart fluctuated, he felt that this person was a little familiar, but he couldn't remember it.
"You, do you know ...... Lu Bu?" Cao Cao's voice broke the silence of the prison.
Wang Ling looked at Cao Cao calmly, his eyes did not flinch in the slightest because of Cao Cao's majesty. He bent down slightly, and replied in a respectful but not humble manner: "Villain Wang Ling." The villain's uncle and Lu Bu do have some origins. ”
Something seemed to have been touched in Cao Cao's heart, and a long-lost feeling flooded in his heart. He said slowly, "Your uncle is Wang Yun Wang Situ, are you his own nephew?"
Wang Ling nodded in response, with a bit of pride in his voice: "Wang Yun is the villain's uncle." ”
Cao Cao was silent. The image of Wang Yun gradually became clear in his mind, the wise man who had joined forces with Lu Bu and ended Dong Zhuo's tyranny. In Cao Cao's heart, Wang Yun is not only a political figure, but also a symbol of the times. That turbulent era, that era full of blood and blood, left a deep trace in Cao Cao's heart.
"Come on, let Wang Ling go. Cao Cao's voice suddenly rang out, breaking the silence around him.
This order surprised everyone present. A subordinate tried to persuade: "Master, this is unreasonable. ”
But Cao Cao's determination had already been made, and there was unmistakable firmness in his voice: "Wang Yun, if it weren't for the righteousness and the Han family, how could he die for the sake of the Han family?
In Cao Cao's eyes, Wang Ling is not only Wang Yun's nephew, but also a witness of an era. The release of Wang Ling is not only the release of a prisoner, but also a commemoration and respect for the turbulent era in the past.
Wang Ling was released. He walked out of that place of despair and walked towards freedom. But he knew in his heart that the world was still full of endless strife and variables. Sima Yi's conspiracy, Cao Wei's future, all this is like a chess game with no end.
Wang Ling's heart was full of gratitude to Cao Cao, but at the same time, he was also clear about his mission. Sima Yi's ambition, Cao Wei's crisis, all of this needs to be faced and solved. Wang Ling knew that he couldn't just be a redeemed prisoner, he had more important roles to play.
Sima Yi's scheming and ambition were like a tight string, enveloping the entire Cao Wei Dynasty. Wang Ling had an impulse in his heart to break free from these shackles and find a way out for the country. His secret liaison with Cao Biao, his persistence and struggle, all for Cao Wei's future.
But the wheels of history are rolling forward, and the dreams of heroes can hardly resist the great waves of the times after all. Wang Ling's plan was unsuccessful, and his persistence and efforts eventually came to naught.
