Wen Yang's real name was Wen Chu, with the courtesy name Ci Qian and the nickname Yang. He was from Qiao County, Pei State (now Bozhou, Anhui).

A famous general in the late Wei Dynasty and early Jin Dynasty, he was the son of Wen Qin, the former general of Cao Wei and the governor of Yangzhou.

Wen Yang's courage and strength surpassed those of ordinary people, and he was the bravest among the three armies.

In the second year of Zhengyuan (255), General Sima Shi deposed Emperor Cao Fang of Wei and enthroned Cao Mao as emperor. Wen Yang followed his father Wen Qin, the governor of Yangzhou, and General Zhendong Guanqiu Jian to start an uprising. He led his troops to attack Sima Shi at night. After his defeat, he followed his father Wen Qin to flee to the State of Wu.

In the second year of Ganlu (257), Zhuge Dan, the general of the Wei Kingdom, rose up against Sima Zhao. Wen Yang followed Wen Qin and led his troops to support Zhuge Dan.
Later, because Zhuge Dan killed Wen Qin, Wen Yang and his brother Wen Hu surrendered to General Sima Zhao, were pardoned from the death penalty, and were granted the title of Guannei Hou.

"After the establishment of the Western Jin Dynasty, he was promoted to Pinglu Hujun. Later, in the third year of Xianning (277), he led the armies of Liang, Qin, and Yong to defeat the Xianbei leader Shu Jineng. He was later promoted to Dongyi Xiaowei, but was dismissed due to some incidents."

"In March of the first year of the Yongping reign (291 AD), he was framed by Sima Yao, the grandson of Zhuge Dan and Prince of Dong'an, and was executed, and his three clans were exterminated."

"Wen Yang's courage and bravery surpassed those of ordinary people. Jin Dynasty historian Fu Chang also commented on Wen Yang in "Praise of Jin Officials", believing that he quelled the war in the northwestern Liang Province and became a world-famous general."

"Wen Yang's real name was Wen Chu, with the courtesy name Ciqian and the nickname Yang. He was the second son of Wen Qin, a former general of Cao Wei and the governor of Yangzhou, and was from Qiao County, Pei State."

"Because he and Cao Shuang were from the same hometown, Wen Qin was treated well by Cao Shuang."

"After the Gaopingling coup, Cao Shuang was executed. In order to stabilize Wen Qin, the Cao Wei court promoted him to the rank of general. Later, he replaced Zhuge Dan as the governor of Yangzhou. However, Wen Qin was often worried and later conspired with Guanqiu Jian."

"In the first month of the second year of Zhengyuan (255), General Sima Shi deposed Emperor Cao Fang of Wei and replaced him with Cao Mao, Duke of Gaogui. Wen Yang followed his father Wen Qin and raised troops with General Guanqiu Jian, the General of Zhendong, to defend the king. They falsely passed on the Queen Mother's edict to pass on the letter to the prefectures and counties."

"In February, Wen Yang followed Wen Qin and Guanqiu Jian to lead an army of 60,000 across the Huai River and march westward. Later, General Sima Shi led an army of more than 100,000 to attack the armies of Wen Qin and Guanqiu Jian."

"General Sima Shi led his troops to station in Ruyang (now Ruyang, Henan), and sent Zhuge Dan to lead his troops to attack Shouchun (now Shou County, Anhui). General Hu Zun led his troops to block the retreat of Wen Qin and others. The whole army adopted the strategy of defending the city and not fighting."

"Later, Sima Shi sent Deng Ai, the governor of Jingzhou, to station troops in Lejia (now Xiangcheng, Henan Province), using the strategy of showing weakness to lure Wen Qin to attack. Wen Qin was fooled and led Wen Yang and others to attack Deng Ai, but unexpectedly encountered Sima Shi and his troops secretly arriving in Lejia."

"The eighteen-year-old Wen Yang thought that the situation was uncertain, and if he climbed up the city wall and beat the drum to attack, he could defeat the enemy with one blow."

"So Wen Qin divided his army into two teams and attacked Sima Shi and others at night."

"Wen Yang led his troops to launch a surprise attack and called out to Sima Shi loudly, his voice echoing throughout the entire military camp."

"Si Ma Shi had an eye disease and was having a tumor removed from his eye by a doctor. Wen Yang's sudden appearance shocked Sima Shi so much that his eye popped out of the tumor."

"Fearing that the army would panic, Sima Shi covered his head with a quilt and bit off the quilt with great pain."

"Wen Yang beat the drum three times in a row, but the commander Wen Qin failed to lead his troops to join him. So when daybreak came, Wen Yang knew that Sima Shi's army was strong, so he led his troops to retreat eastward."

"Sima Shi thought Wen Qin had already fled, so he sent his generals to pursue him."

"Wen Qin and his troops were about to retreat. Wen Yang believed that they could not retreat safely unless they first defeated the morale of Sima Shi's army."

"So he personally led more than ten elite cavalrymen to charge at the enemy camp, and they were invincible. Sima Shi's generals were unstoppable, and Wen Yang withdrew safely."

"Sima Shi led his troops to repel Wen Qin and Wen Yang, but because his illness worsened, he let his brother Sima Zhao take charge of the entire army."

"In less than a month, Sima Shi died of illness in Xuchang. Wen Yang's sneak attack indirectly led to Sima Shi's death."

"After Wen Qin and Wen Yang withdrew, Sima Shi sent Zuo Changshi Sima Lian to lead 8,000 cavalry to pursue them, and ordered General Le Lin and others to follow closely behind."

"Faced with the pursuit of powerful cavalry, Wen Yang showed no fear and charged into the thousands of cavalry alone, killing and wounding more than a hundred people in a short time."

Li Bai: Wen Qin, the governor of Yangzhou, was more brave and courageous than others. Cao Shuang respected him very much because they were from the same hometown. Wen Qin often acted arrogantly because of Cao Shuang's power.

After Cao Shuang was killed, Wen Qin was very frightened and liked to falsely report the number of captives in order to seek credit and reward. Sima Shi often restrained and suppressed him, so he was very resentful of Sima Shi.

General Zhendong Wuqiu Jian usually had close contacts with Xiahou Xuan and Li Feng. After Xiahou Xuan and others were killed, Qiu Jian was also uneasy, so he followed his inner plan, won over Wen Qin, and gave him generous treatment.

Qiu Jian's son, Qiu Dian, the Imperial Censor, said to his father, "Father, you bear a heavy responsibility for an aspect of the country. If the country is destroyed and you remain safe and sound, you will be blamed by people all over the world." Qiu Jian thought he was right.

In the second year of Zhengyuan (255 AD), Qiu Jian and Wen Qin falsely claimed to have received an imperial edict from the empress dowager, raised an army in Shouchun, and issued a proclamation to all states and counties to jointly attack Sima Shi.

At the same time, he submitted a petition requesting that only Sima Shi's official position be abolished, that he be allowed to retire home as a marquis, and that his younger brother Sima Zhao replace him.

The Grand Commandant Sima Fu was loyal, filial and careful in his duties, and the Guard General Sima Wang was also loyal and dedicated to his duties. They should all be treated with respect and trust and be given important positions. Sima Wang was the son of Sima Fu.

Qiu Jian sent an envoy to invite General Zhennan Zhuge Dan to join him in attacking Sima Shi, but Zhuge Dan killed the envoy.

Qiu Jian and Wen Qin led an army of 50,000 to 60,000 across the Huai River and headed west to Xiang County. Qiu Jian defended the city and let Wen Qin lead the mobile forces outside.

Sima Shi asked Wang Su, the governor of Henan, for advice. Wang Su said, "In the past, Guan Yu captured Yu Jin on the banks of the Han River and had the ambition to fight for the world in the north. Later, Sun Quan attacked and captured the families of his generals and soldiers, and as a result, Guan Yu's army collapsed in an instant."

Now the parents and wives of the Huainan generals are all staying in the inland prefectures and counties. As long as we quickly send troops to protect their families and resist Qiu Jian and Wen Qin's armies and prevent them from coming in, they will inevitably collapse like Guan Yu did.

At that time, Sima Shi had just had a tumor removed from his eye, and the wound was very large. Many people thought that the general should not lead the troops himself at this time, but should send the Grand Marshal Sima Fu to resist the rebels.

Only Wang Su, Shangshu Fu Gu, Zhongshu Shilang Zhong Hui and others persuaded Sima Shi to go in person, but Sima Shi was hesitant. Sima Shi led the Chinese and foreign armies to attack Qiu Jian and Wen Qin, and asked his brother Sima Zhao to serve as the commander of the Central Army and stay in Luoyang, and summoned the armies of the three directions to meet in Chen County and Xu County.

Sima Shi appointed Wang Ji, the governor of Jingzhou, as the acting military supervisor, borrowing the imperial seal and commanding the army in Xuchang. Sima Shi adopted his plan, made Wang Ji the vanguard, and the army set out.

Sima Shi stationed his troops at Yuqiao, and Qiu Jian's generals Shi Zhao and Li Xu surrendered one after another.

Sima Shi ordered Wang Ji to stop the advance. Wang Ji told Sima Shi that he had only heard of using a clumsy method to win a quick victory, but had never seen a method that could achieve a lasting victory.

Now there are powerful enemies outside and rebellious ministers inside. If we don’t make a decision in time, the depth and consequences of the development of the situation will be difficult to predict.

When the generals were marching and fighting, they could also refuse the orders of the monarch. If the enemy gained something that was beneficial to the enemy, and our side gained something that was beneficial to our side, this was called fighting for land, and this place was Nandun.

"Then he charged out of the enemy's formation, and did this six or seven times in total, and each time he escaped unharmed, the enemy cavalry was so frightened that they dared not continue to pursue him, and Wen Yang was able to escape unscathed."

"But Sima Shi's army still defeated the troops led by Wen Qin in Shayang, so Wen Qin and his son Wen Yang led their troops to retreat to Xiangcheng (now Xiangcheng, Henan)."

"On that day, Guanqiu Jian heard the news that Wen Qin and his son had been defeated, so he abandoned his army and fled to Huainan overnight, where he was defeated and killed."

"After Guanqiu Jian was defeated, Wen Yang surrendered to Wu with Wen Qin. Wen Qin was appointed Protector General, General Zhenbei, and Governor of Youzhou, and was granted the title of Marquis of Qiao and the power of pretending to be a general."

"In the second year of Ganlu (257), Zhuge Dan, the general of the Wei Kingdom, led his troops to revolt against Sima Zhao and sent envoys to ask for help from the Eastern Wu."

"So the Eastern Wu sent generals Quan Yi, Quan Duan, Tang Zi, Wang Zuo and others to lead 30,000 Wu troops to Shouchun with Wen Qin to support Zhuge Dan, and Wen Yang followed the army."

"In the first month of the following year, due to the unfavorable war situation, the conflict between Wen Qin and Zhuge Dan increased. The two had always had a grudge against each other, so Zhuge Dan killed Wen Qin."

"At that time, Wen Yang and his brother Wen Hu were stationed in a small town. When they heard that Wen Qin had been killed, they wanted to lead their troops to avenge their father, but the soldiers refused to obey. So the two brothers fled the city and chose to surrender to Sima Zhao."

"The generals requested to kill Wen Yang and his brothers. Sima Zhao believed that Wen Qin's crime was unforgivable and his son should also be killed. However, Wen Yang and his brothers had nowhere else to go and came to us for help. Moreover, the city had not been conquered yet. Killing Wen Yang and his brothers would strengthen the defenders' determination to resist."

"So Wen Yang and Wen Hu were pardoned, and Wen Yang and his brother were sent to lead hundreds of cavalry to patrol the city and shout, "Even Wen Qin's son was not killed, so why should others worry?"

"Later, Wen Yang and Wen Hu were appointed generals and granted the title of Guannei Hou. After Shouchun was captured, Wen Yang and Wen Hu collected the body of their father Wen Qin and buried him. Sima Zhao gave them ox carts."

"In December of the second year of the Xianxi reign of Cao Wei (February 266), Emperor Wu of Jin, Sima Yan, accepted the abdication of Emperor Wei and replaced Wei with Jin. Wen Yang was appointed as the Protector of Pinglu."

"In March of the third year of Xianning (277), the Xianbei leader Tufa Shujineng led his troops to rebel against the Jin Dynasty and plundered the border areas. General Sima Jun of the Western Expedition appointed Wen Yang, the Guardian of the Suppressing the Lu, to lead the troops of Liangzhou, Qinzhou, and Yongzhou to resist the enemy and defeated Shujineng."

"Later, Shuji was able to send 20 tribes, about 200,000 people, to submit to the Jin Dynasty, and sent his son as a hostage."

"Wen Yang's victory over the Xianbei in Liangzhou made him famous throughout the world and a household name."

"In the middle of the Taikang reign of Emperor Wu of Jin (280-289), Wen Yang was promoted to the position of Commander of the Eastern Yi and was granted the power of temporary authority."

"Before taking office, Wen Yang went to meet with Sima Yan, the Emperor Wu of Jin, but Sima Yan disliked Wen Yang very much and later found an excuse to dismiss him from office."

"In April of the first year of Taixi (290 AD), Emperor Wu Sima Yan died, and Emperor Hui Sima Zhong succeeded him, with Taifu Yang Jun assisting in the administration."

"In March of the first year of the Yongping reign (291), Empress Jia Nanfeng joined forces with Sima Wei, the Prince of Chu, and Sima Yao, the Prince of Dong'an, to kill Yang Jun, the regent."

"Since Sima Yao was Zhuge Dan's grandson, he knew that Wen Yang's father Wen Qin was killed by Zhuge Dan. He was worried that Wen Yang would become a hidden danger to his uncle's family. So he took advantage of Yang Jun's death to frame Wen Yang for treason and killed him. At the same time, he exterminated Wen Yang's three clans."

Su Shi: They immediately marched forward and occupied Nandun. Qiu Jian and others set out from Xiang County and also wanted to fight for Nandun. After marching for more than ten miles, they heard that Wang Ji had arrived first, so they withdrew their troops and defended Xiang County.

Wu's Prime Minister Sun Jun led General Lu Ju and General Liu Zan from Kuaiji to attack Shouchun. Sima Shi ordered all troops to reinforce and raise their camps and hold their ground, waiting for the arrival of the eastern army.

The generals requested to march to attack Xiang County, but Sima Shi said, "You all only know one thing, not the rebellion. You said that no matter how far or near, everyone would respond. However, after they started the rebellion, not only did the Huaibei area not respond, but according to historical records, Li Xu also surrendered.

So he sent Zhuge Dan to lead the troops of Yuzhou to advance from Anfeng to Shouchun; he sent General Hu Zun, who was in charge of conquering the east, to lead the troops of Qingzhou and Xuzhou to station between Qiaojun and Suiyang to cut off the rebels' retreat; Sima Shi himself led his troops to station in Ruyang.

Qiu Jian and Wen Qin could not fight if they advanced, and were afraid that Shouchun would be attacked if they retreated. They were at a loss as to what to do. The homes of the Huainan soldiers were all in the north. At this time, they were depressed and demoralized, and surrendered one after another. Only the newly dependent peasants in the Huainan area could be controlled by them.

When Qiu Jian started his rebellion, he sent someone to Yanzhou to deliver a message, but Deng Ai, the governor of Yanzhou, killed him. Then he led more than 10,000 soldiers and rushed to Lejia City at full speed, where he built a floating bridge to wait for Sima Shi's army.

Qiu Jian asked Wen Qin to lead the troops to attack Lejia City. However, Sima Shi secretly marched from Ruyang to Lejia City to join Deng Ai. Wen Qin was shocked to see the army and didn't know what to do.

Wen Qin's son Wen Yang, who was eighteen years old, was brave and strong, with superhuman physical strength. At this time, he said to Wen Qin: "We can defeat them by attacking them suddenly while they are still unstable."

So the troops were divided into two groups and started the attack that night. Wen Yang led the strong soldiers to arrive first and shouted loudly to attack, which frightened and disturbed the troops in the city.

Sima Shi was also very frightened. He was so anxious that his diseased eye opened out. He was afraid that others would know, so he bit the quilt to endure the pain, and ended up biting the quilt to pieces.

But Wen Qin missed the agreed time and did not come to meet him, so Wen Yang had to lead his soldiers to fight everywhere. When dawn came, Wen Yang saw that the enemy was strong and had to withdraw his troops.

Seeing this, Wen Yang led his troops away slowly. Sima Shi sent Sima Ban, the left chief, to lead 8,000 brave cavalrymen to pursue from both wings.

Seeing that he was about to catch up, Wen Yang asked his subordinates to go ahead, and he rode alone, charging straight into the thousands of cavalry. Wen Yang charged into the enemy army as if he were in an empty space, killing and wounding more than a hundred people at a time. (End of this chapter)
