Wang Sheng is a Taoist from Longxi. Although he is not from a noble family, he is still a son of a local powerful. These days, people who want to practice martial arts do not have such conditions.
He is poor in literature but rich in martial arts. His family has little money and cannot afford the consumption required for martial arts training.
Since the Yellow Turban Uprising, the imperial court was unable to suppress it and had to allow local powerful men to recruit private soldiers from the countryside to fight against the Yellow Turban Army. This also created a situation in which powerful powerful forces emerged together and local separatist regimes were established.
However, these days, there is a difference between the powerful and the powerful.
In some places, there are powerful people who act like kings of Wei all the way, adding Jiuxi. The son was even more sinister and thick-skinned. He directly forced the previous emperor to give up the throne to him and became the emperor himself.
There are powerful people in some places. Although they have been on the run for the first half of their lives and are still living under the shelter of others in a small county in Xinye at the age of 48, they have never forgotten their original aspirations and persisted in starting a business. In the end, they seized the land of three states, and now they are even threatening Chang'an.
As for the powerful Wang Sheng family, they followed the trend and recruited refugees and common people to arm themselves. They also wanted to establish their own merits in troubled times, but they were confused. I don't know what happened these days, and they were getting worse day by day.
Wang Sheng’s grandfather didn’t understand, and Wang Sheng’s father didn’t understand, but Wang Sheng himself thought he already understood.
Wang Sheng believes that this must be because his ancestors did not study enough.
Look at the unlucky name he gave himself. If only his grandfather could read two more books and his father had a little bit of knowledge, would he be able to come up with this unlucky name? !
Wang Sheng? !
I'm afraid that others won't know that our surname is Wang, so we have to emphasize it, right? !
Besides, look at the current situation. The world is divided into three parts. Among the three emperors, one said that he was after Cao Shen, the famous prime minister of the former Han Dynasty, and the other said that he was a descendant of King Jing of Zhongshan in the former Han Dynasty. Even that bumpkin from Jiangdong... He said that his ancestor was the military sage Sun Wu.
It can be seen that our ancestors have read many, many books.
Now turn around and look at the current governors, prefects and others of the prefectures and counties. Which of them are not from aristocratic families, which of their ancestors are not famous scholars or great scholars, which of their ancestors have not been high-ranking officials in the imperial court. Then look at your own family. The biggest official that your ancestors have ever been. It's just another Sima.
This is why I don’t read enough.
Therefore, Wang Sheng thought that if he wanted to make his family prosperous, he could not continue to be so "ignorant". In the future, future generations must read more and get closer to those scholars.
In order to set an example for future generations of the family, Wang Sheng decided to change his name to Wang Shuang.
As for why he changed his name to Wang Shuang, it’s because good things come in pairs.
Although Wang Sheng doesn't read much, it's a good sign that Wang Sheng still knows the meaning of such easy-to-understand words!
Wang Sheng changed his name to Wang Shuang and tried to let everyone know that he had changed his name.
But Wang Sheng thought of this matter a bit simply.
You changed your name privately, but the name on your military registration is still Wang Sheng.
On weekdays, this kid relies on his outstanding martial arts skills and often looks down on this and that. His popularity in the military is so bad that no one cares whether he changes his name or not.
Therefore, Wang Sheng felt that he was called Wang Shuang, but the people around him, whether soldiers or colleagues, still called him Wang Sheng.
Wang was so angry!
Wang Sheng was not a brainy person to begin with. If he had some brains, he would not have such brilliant logic. He thought that changing his name would make him appear to be a cultured person.
But Wang Sheng is a very stubborn person, and he has a bad temper. The more people around him deliberately don't call him Wang Shuang, the more he knows. As long as most people recognize his new name, his life will also change. Will change accordingly.
Therefore, Wang Sheng emphasized his new name Wang Shuang when meeting people. But the more he did this, the more his colleagues around him who had a bad relationship with him ignored him and still called him Wang Sheng. Wang Sheng was very upset. Damn it.
Now it's better, even the generals of the Shu army call themselves Wang Sheng instead of Wang Shuang. When Wang Sheng heard this, all the old and new grudges surged up in his heart, and he went straight to Zhuge Qian with his spear in hand.
Damn Xia Houmao, I have to clear my name first! ! !
This reaction shocked Zhuge Qian.
I just said this casually to boost morale, why is this bastard really coming towards me? !
Now that we have reached this point, Zhuge Qian cannot resist the challenge and refuse to challenge him. If the news spreads, won't he be embarrassed? !
Zhuge Qian also raised his spear and killed Wang Sheng. Then Zhuge Qian regretted it.
Wang Sheng's martial arts skills far exceeded Zhuge Qian's imagination. Not to mention details such as equestrian skills and moves, just talking about Wang Sheng's strength was a bit too much for Zhuge Qian. This guy really has the capital to be proud of.
This was Zhuge Qian's feeling after fighting Wang Sheng for several rounds. Similarly, Zhuge Qian also knew that he could not continue to be entangled with Wang Sheng.
If you continue to struggle, until you are exhausted, your life will be difficult to save.
Now that he is the dominant side, and there is a large group of people led by General Wei behind him to help, there is no need to compete with a reckless man here.
Zhuge Qian's mind was at least much clearer than Wang Shuang's. After realizing that he was no match for Wang Shuang, he immediately rode his horse back, retreated into the center of the soldiers, and then ordered the soldiers to surround Wang Shuang.
I can't defeat you alone, but a group of people can surround you to death! ! !
Although it is a bit embarrassing to do this and people will laugh at you if word spreads about it, it is better than losing your life!
It's just that Zhuge Qian somewhat overestimated the combat effectiveness of his soldiers, and even more underestimated Wang Sheng's ability.
Yes, Wang Sheng is famous for his martial arts, but it does not mean that he has no battle experience. Although Wang Sheng is indeed not very smart, he has fought his way through the army to reach this position. Some basic qualities that a general should have, Wang Sheng still has it.
For example, commanding an army in battle.
The enemy generals were all killed by him. In order to protect his generals, the enemy troops were consciously shrinking their formations. In this case, Wang Sheng directly ignored Zhuge Qian's army in front of him and directed his soldiers to turn around and face Xiahou Mao. Killed it.
Wang Sheng's original purpose of sending troops this time was to meet Xia Houmao, not to kill and drive back the Shu army.
At first, Wang Sheng was really angry because of Zhuge Qian's words. He couldn't turn his head around and seemed to be indifferent.
But now, Wang Sheng had killed Zhuge Qian so much that he did not dare to come out to fight. Wang Sheng was almost out of anger, and finally remembered the real purpose of his troops.
Zhuge Qian's contraction gave Wang Sheng the opportunity to break through the tight encirclement of the Shu army and rescue Xia Houmao's troops.
When Zhuge Qian saw Wang Sheng turning to kill Xiahou Mao, he immediately knew that he had made a mistake, and quickly ordered his soldiers to intercept, making sure that Wang Sheng could not take Xiahou Mao away.
At this time, it is the best moment to show Wang Sheng's bravery.
Eight hundred of Zhuge Qian's thousand soldiers were brought by Zhuge Qian to intercept Wang Sheng. When the battle was unfavorable, Zhuge Qian gathered all the remaining soldiers around him, but in the direction of Xiahou Mao, there were only two hundred soldiers. Responsible for containment.
Wang Sheng, with his 500 men, shook off Zhuge Qian's blockage and rushed towards the encirclement. Zhuge Qian and his 800 men failed to completely block Wang Sheng. How could the remaining 200 men block this attack? The impact of a fierce general.
Zhuge Qian could only watch helplessly as Wang Sheng led his troops to break through the defense line of 200 people, joined Xia Houmao and defeated 500 troops, and then forced his way through the defense line again and rushed out.
By this time, the morale of Wang Sheng's troops, including Xia Houmao's, had been completely raised. Even if Zhuge Qian wanted to lead his troops to stop him, he probably wouldn't be able to withstand Wang Sheng's men fighting back and forth.
After Zhuge Qian hesitated for a moment, Wang Sheng led Xia Houmao's troops out of the encirclement and broke through.
At this time, Zhuge Qian had no choice.
It doesn't matter whether Xia Houmao ran away, he was just a bait anyway, and having one more Xiahou Mao in Mei County might be a good thing.
But Zhuge Qian couldn't just let Wang Sheng take Xia Houmao away. This would make him appear incompetent, and if he didn't care what he said, he would lose the battle.
Therefore, Zhuge Qian made a quick decision and sent a messenger to the rear to urge General Wei to speed up the march. He led the remaining 800 soldiers to follow Wang Sheng's troops all the way.
Although Wang Sheng broke through and took away 500 people from Xia Houmao's army, these 500 people were already exhausted after five days of back and forth pursuit. If Wang Sheng wanted to evacuate with these people, he would definitely not be able to increase his speed. Get up.
Zhuge Qian felt that he still had a chance. As long as he could entangle Wang Sheng and slow down his march, when General Wei led the army to surround him, he would have a chance to turn defeat into victory!
To be honest, Zhuge Qian is indeed worthy of his surname, and he is indeed very fast in responding to battlefield changes. Although not all decisions are correct, he is still much stronger than ordinary generals.
Zhuge Qian's approach worked at first.
Wang Sheng and the 500 remnants of Xia Houmao's army really couldn't move very fast, and Zhuge Qian soon caught up with him again and bit his tail.
In order to avoid being entangled by Zhuge Qian again, Wang Sheng had to return to the army to fight again, hoping to rely on his own troops and horses to defeat Zhuge Qian again.
But Zhuge Qian was smarter this time. He didn't have much entanglement with Wang Sheng at all. Wang Sheng led his troops to fight back, so he led his troops to retreat temporarily to attract Wang Sheng to pursue. Xiahou Mao didn't care, let this kind of thing go It might be a good thing to return to Mei County, but this Wang Sheng must be held back.
It's a pity that although Wang Sheng is not very smart, he usually has good battlefield intuition. Zhuge Qian retreated several times and attracted Wang Sheng to chase him, but Wang Sheng was not fooled at all.
Zhuge Qian had no choice but to wait for Wang Sheng to return to the army and repeat his old tricks, continuing to bite the tail of Wang Sheng's retreating army, hoping to do this more times to create time for General Wei to come to the rescue in time.
But soon, Zhuge Qian discovered that he had no chance.
Wang Sheng actually ordered that he abandon the 500 defeated troops of Xiahou Mao and withdraw to Mei County at full speed with only his own troops and Xiahou Mao.
Zhuge Qian was surprised and couldn't help but sigh: This Wang Sheng is so ruthless! ! !
