Wang Ling.

Wang Ling (172-251), known as Yanyun, was a native of Qi County, Taiyuan (now Qi County, Shanxi), a general of Cao Wei during the Three Kingdoms period, and the nephew of Situ Wang Yun of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

There are roots, the descendants of loyal ministers.

Wang Ling is a native of Qi County, Taiyuan. Uncle Wang Yun presided over the assassination of Dong Zhuo.

Dong Zhuo's troops avenged Dong Zhuo by killing Wang Yun's entire family in Chang'an. Wang Ling and his brother Wang Chen were still young at the time, and they escaped over the city wall and ran back to Taiyuan.

In his early years, he became friends with Sima Yi's elder brother Sima Lang, Jia Kui and others, and later became filial piety and served as the head of the hair department, and was later sentenced for crime. During his imprisonment, it coincided with Cao Cao's inspection.

Cao Cao learned that he was Wang Yun's nephew and that he had committed a crime in the line of duty, so he was immediately relieved of his labor and entrusted with the post of the master of Xiao Cavalry. and Zhongshan Taishou, with achievements, was later appreciated by Cao Cao and served as the prime minister's subordinate.

He was grateful to the Cao family and laid the foundation for the future rebellion against the Sima family.

There was also a woman who, for their attempted rebellion, threaded the needle and waved the flag. Her name is Guo Zhen, she is the daughter of Wang Ling's sister, and it is also said that she is the granddaughter of Wang Ling's sister.

This woman is loyal and chivalrous, and is the promoter and liaison of the attempted coup, and at the time of the incident, she was in Wang Ling's army and was unmarried. She has a fast horse that travels 500 miles a day, and this horse is called "Ziyanliu". The Sprinkle family estimates that she is the original form of Mulan.

…… ……

After Cao Pi became emperor, Wang Ling served as a regular attendant of the scattered cavalry and served as the assassin of Yanzhou.

In the battle of Dongkou, Wang Ling and the generals broke the Wu general Lu Fan, and was awarded the title of Yicheng Pavilion Marquis and General Jianwu for his merits. Later, when he was the assassin of Qingzhou, he sorted out the law and rebuilt the order after the local war, which was praised by the people.

In the second year of Taihe (228), Cao Xiu's entourage conquered Eastern Wu, and encountered the Wu army at Jiashi, the Wei army was defeated, and Wang Ling desperately broke through the siege, so that Cao Xiu was able to retreat. Later, he served as the assassin of Yangzhou and Yuzhou, and won the favor of the military and the people. When he first arrived in Yuzhou, he commended the descendants of local sages, recruited talents who were not famous, and each had their own advice, which had an excellent influence.

After Cao Heng's death, the general Cao Shuang actively approached him and appointed him as the general of Zhengdong and the military governor of Yangzhou during the festival.

Wu Guo's general Quan Cong led tens of thousands of horses to attack Shaobi. Wang Ling led the armies to meet the battle, fought for several days, the Wu army retreated, entered the Nanxiang Marquis, Yitong three divisions, 1,350 households in the food yi, and moved to the general of the chariot cavalry and the three divisions of Yitong.

In the ninth year of Zhengshi (248), Dai Gaorou was commonplace.

…… ……

Yanzhou Assassin Shi Linghu Yu, is the nephew of Sikong Wang Ling, stationed in Ping'a, and the two nephews and uncles are in charge of heavy troops at the same time, and they are responsible for the heavy responsibility of the Huainan region alone.

After Sima Yi punished Cao Shuang, Wang Ling was dissatisfied, Wang Ling sent Guo Zhen to ride her BMW "Ziyanliu" back and forth between Yanzhou and Ping'a, and Linghu foolishly secretly connected and planned, thinking that Emperor Cao Fang of Wei was mediocre and cowardly, subject to strong ministers, and heard that Cao Biao, the king of Chu, was wise and brave, and wanted to jointly establish him as the emperor and welcome him to Xuchang to build the capital.

Sima Yi was initially unaware of their ruse, and actively approached Wang Ling, and after the Gaopingling Incident, promoted him to the rank of lieutenant. At the beginning, Sima Yi once asked Jiang Ji, "How is Wang Ling's talent?" ”

Jiang Ji replied, "Wang Ling is both civil and military, unparalleled in the world, and his son Wang Guang has great ambitions and is better than his father." ”

As a result, Sima Yi was also a little wary of Wang Ling.

Wang Ling's action to establish a new monarch has been carried out in secret, because Cao Biao's feudal state is in Yanzhou Linghu Yu's territory, in September of the first year of Jiaping (249 years), Linghu Yu sent his confidant Zhang Shi to visit Cao Biao's house in the name of supervising the prince, and said to Cao Biao, "Linghu envoy Jun greets the king, the affairs of the world are unknown, may the king cherish it!"

Began their first step towards a new king.

Wang Ling also sent a person to Luoyang to tell his son Wang Guang.

Wang Guang said:

"Whenever you want to do a big career, you should be based on human feelings. Cao Shuang lost the trust of the people because of arrogance and lewdness

Vanity and inability to govern the country, although Ding Mi, Bi Rail, Huan Fan and others have high prestige, they are all bent on chasing fame and fortune. In addition, the rules and regulations of the country have changed, and the policies and laws have been changed many times, although their thoughts are very lofty, but they are not in line with the people's feelings, and the people are accustomed to the old system, and no one obeys them.

"Therefore, although they have the power to conquer the whole world and have a reputation for powering the whole world, when they are killed on the same day, most of their men are scattered, and the people are still stable, and no one mourns for them, because they have lost the hearts of the people.

Although Sima Yi's heart is immeasurable and things are unpredictable, he can promote talents, widely establish talents that surpass himself, follow the policies and decrees of the previous dynasties, and meet the wishes of everyone.

"Those things that caused Cao Shuang's notoriety, he must correct them. They worked hard all day long, taking the pacification of the people as their priority, and their fathers, sons, and brothers all held the power of the army, so it was not easy to be overthrown. ”

Wang Ling didn't listen to him.

In November of the same year, Ling Huyu sent Zhang Shi to see Cao Biao again, but before he could come back, Ling Huyu died of illness.

Ling Huyu's staff Yang Kang was reporting to Yanzhou government affairs in Situ Mansion in Kyoto at this time, and when he heard that Ling Huyu was sick and dead, he was very scared, and immediately reported to Situ Gaorou the plan to expose Wang Ling and Ling Huyu.

When Gao Rou learned about it, she immediately reported it to Sima Yi, who was quite surprised, but quickly regained her composure. Wang Ling is ranked as the third duke, and there is no specific evidence, so it is difficult to start for a while, so he temporarily waits and waits for changes and keeps it strictly confidential. and sent Huang Hua to serve as the assassin of Yanzhou.

Wang Ling didn't know anything about Yang Kang's whistleblowing, and he was still actively preparing in secret.

In the second year of Jiaping (250 years), Yingfu (Mars) appeared in the position of the Southern Dipper, and Wang Ling said, "There may be a sudden dignitary figure in the Dou Xing." ”

So he was even more determined to take action to set up a new king.

In the first month of the third year of Jiaping (251), Sun Quan of Wu State was afraid that after his death, the Wei army would drive straight into the blockade of Tushui, Wang Ling finally waited for the opportunity, and asked the central government to send a "tiger talisman" to command the army in the name of teaching Wu Guo, and mobilized the Yangzhou army to launch a coup d'état.

Wang Ling was helpless, and sent his henchman Yang Hong to persuade the new Yanzhou assassin Huang Hua to act with him, but Yang Hong and Huang Hua jointly played Sima Yi Wang Ling's imminent rebellion, Sima Yi saw that the time was ripe, mobilized tens of thousands of horses, in April, from the waterway to the south, first issued a pardon to pardon Wang Ling's crimes, and then wrote a letter to Wang Ling, and soon the army suddenly arrived at the hundred feet of weirs, and approached the state of Shouchun (now Shou County, Anhui Province).

Wang Ling found that the situation was not good, he couldn't get the tiger talisman, his headquarters soldiers and horses could not compete with Sima Yi's army at all, and he had no chance of winning, in order to avoid Shouchun City from the war, he had to go to Wuqiu in person and surrender in front of Sima Yi's big ship.

Wang Ling shouted to Sima Yi, the Taifu on the big boat, on the small boat; "If I am guilty, the public can recall me with half a piece of bamboo slips, why bother to lead the army in person?"

Sima Yi replied, "Because you are not a simple guest!" ”

Wang Ling shouted again, "Taifu is sorry for me!" ”

Sima Yi said, "I'd rather be sorry for you than sorry for Your Majesty!"

He immediately ordered the sergeant to escort Wang Ling.

Sima Yi sent 600 foot cavalry to send Wang Ling from Luoyang by land, and when he arrived in Xiangcheng, Wang Ling asked the captain of the guard who escorted him for a long nail in the coffin, testing Sima Yi's attitude towards himself: to see if he wanted to let himself die.

After the captain asked Sima Yi for instructions, he gave him an iron nail, and Wang Ling knew that he would die, so he shouted in front of Jia Kui Temple, "Jia Liang Dao!" Only you know that Wang Ling is a loyal minister of Great Wei!"

That night, he found all the former Peng subordinates and said, "I'm almost eighty years old, and my name is broken!" So he committed suicide by drinking medicine.

Sima Yi was not satisfied, and dug up the bodies of Wang Ling and Linghu Yu and exposed them to the public for three days, and those who participated in the coup d'état were all killed by the three clans, Cao Biao was also forced to commit suicide, and his relatives were far away in Pingyuan County, and the first rebellion of the "Huainan Three Rebellions" in the later period of Cao Wei ended like this.

Guo Zhen and her BMW "Ziyanliu" are missing, like many women of the Three Kingdoms, faded in the historical books.

In June of the same year, Sima Yi was seriously ill and dreamed that Jia Kui and Wang Ling were troublesome and died soon after.

After Wang Ling's death, he was already buried, and the court decided after discussion that the coffin should be opened and the corpse would be killed in the city for three days, and then "buried in the soil", that is, buried directly in the soil, not only did not have a coffin, but also did not even give a straw mat.
