In the old days when Yang drank the broken bridge, Zhang Fei became a hero from then on. There should be no invincibility in the city of Lejia, and Wenyang is very courageous. ——"Romance of the Three Kingdoms"
The troubled times produced heroes, and the troubled times of the Three Kingdoms, which lasted for a hundred years, produced many heroes, such as Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Dian Wei and so on. Wen Yang is also one of them. In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, it is written that he and his father Wen Qin are guarding the city of Lejia, which makes Sima Shi's eyes burst out. Although it is a bit exaggerated to say that this passage is compared with the official history, historically, the death of Sima Shi was really related to this young general. So how did this young general assisted his father in the battle, and finally became famous in the world?
was born in
Wen Yang, whose real name is Chu (chu), the character is Qian, and A Yang is his nickname. He was born in Qiaojun, Peiguo (now Bozhou City, Anhui Province), and was born in AD 238, at which time the Three Kingdoms era was gradually coming to an end. It can be said that Wen Yang was born in a military family. His father was Wen Qin, a general of Cao Wei, and his grandfather was Wen Ji, a famous general. After the death of Emperor Wei Ming, the general Cao Shuang assumed power, and because Wen Qin and Cao Shuang were from the same town, they were given special treatment.
Wen Qin relied on his friendship with Cao Shuang, and he acted arrogantly for a period of time. Unexpectedly, after the coup of Gao Pingling, Cao Shuang Group was destroyed by Sima Yi. Wen Qin lost his backing and was also a little uneasy. In order to appease him, the court specially awarded the former general. However, the disunity between Wen Qin and the imperial court did not end there. The Three Kingdoms records that he made many military exploits and liked to falsely report the number of prisoners to get rewards. In the second year of Zhengyuan (255), Wen Qin, Guanqiujian and others attacked Sima Shi.
Fighting with his father
This year Wen Yang was 18 years old, and he officially began to join the war with his father, perhaps because of his familiarity. He was quite talented in military affairs, and Wen Qin was stunned when Sima Shi's army suddenly arrived.He calmly told his father: while the enemy is still standing, attacking immediately will definitely defeat the enemy. Then the troops split into two groups and attacked Sima Shi at night. This move really worked. Sima Shi was frightened to death. The tumor on his eye was cut off at that time, and he was so frightened that his eyeballs burst out from the cut wound.
Helpless Wen Yang tossed all night. Before Wen Qin came, he saw that the Wei army was strong and retreated. Not long after Guanqiu Jian was defeated in Shouchun, Wen Yang and his father surrendered to Wu. Wu Guo ordered Wen Qin and his son to go to support. Wen Yang would not have thought that this battle laid the groundwork for the future extermination of the three clans. Zhuge Dan was at odds with Wen Qin, and he even killed Wen Qin under suspicion. Wen Yang had to go to Sima Zhao with his younger brother Wen Hu.
Famous in the world
It can only be said that Wu Guo kindly helped Zhuge Dan, but Zhuge Dan caused Wu Guo to lose three generals in a row, and Sima Zhao did not attack the two brothers ruthlessly. Because it is much more useful to keep them, so that the defenders in the city can be told that Wen Qin's son has not died and others have nothing to fear. really,. When Shouchun City saw this situation, people's hearts floated. It didn't take long for him to be captured. Wen Yang, who became famous as a teenager, did nothing for a long time after that. What made him famous in the world was the battle with the function of the bald tree.
In the sixth year (270 years) of Tai's beginning, the bald tree functioned to raise troops against Jin, killing Hu Lie, Su Yu, Yang Xin and other vassal officials. Sima Yan had trouble sleeping and eating for this, and he fought until March of the third year of Xianning (277), when Sima Yan had no choice but to send Wen Yang. The high-spirited young general came back. He was ordered to break the function of the bald tree and make the 200,000 Hu people surrender. It stands to reason that he is a great credit, but this is the beginning of his tragic end.
The end was bleak.
Just when he was about to take up the post of Colonel Dongyi.Sima Yan didn't like Wen Yang when he saw him, and made excuses to dismiss him. After Sima Zhong ascended the throne, Empress Jia Nanfeng staged a coup d'état and executed Yang Jun and his henchmen who were in control of the government. Sima Yao, the king of Dong'an, belonged to the faction of Jia Nanfeng, and Zhuge Dan was his grandfather. Sima Yao remembered that Wen Yang's betrayal of Zhuge Dan led to the downfall of Zhuge Dan. He even falsely accused him of conspiring with Yang Jun to destroy his three clans, but if it wasn't for Zhuge Dan to kill Wen Qin first.
Wen Yang is so good, why should he betray Soochow? It can only be said that Wen Yang was born at the wrong time, if he was not born in this era. There is bound to be a bigger deed, maybe it is the famous general who pacified one side, but unfortunately, he happened to meet the Sima family. He was killed at the age of fifty-four, but it is worth mentioning that Sima Yao, who killed his three clans, did not get a good end. After that, the Western Jin Dynasty fell into the Eight Kings Rebellion, and Sima Yao was killed by Sima Ying when he persuaded Sima Ying, the king of Chengdu, to surrender.
