The age of Wang Pingsheng is unknown. According to the biography of Wang Ping, Wang Ping lived in his grandfather's house since he was a child, so some history books also called Wang Ping "He Ping". When I grow up, I want to be a king again.

In the 20th year of Jian 'an (2 16), Du Fu and Park Tiger went to Luoyang to join Cao Cao's men, became acting captains, and followed Cao Cao to Hanzhong (see the Battle of Hanzhong). Then he surrendered to Liu Bei. Liu Bei worshipped him as a door god and general.
In the sixth year of Jianxing (228), Zhuge Liang led the northern expedition (see Zhuge Liang's battle against Wei) and left Qishan (now northwest of Xihe County, Gansu Province). Ma Su was sent to guard the strategic street pavilion (now northeast of Qin 'an County, Gansu Province), and Wang Ping was appointed as the lieutenant. Ma Su and Wang Ping led the troops to Jieting, and Zhang He was also taking Wei Jun from the east. Masu decided to give up Mizutaniyama after surveying the terrain. Wang Ping repeatedly discouraged Masu from listening. Wang Ping had to ask Ma Su to allocate 1,000 troops for him to be stationed near the foot of the mountain.
Wei and Zhang He arrived and saw Ma Su camping on the mountain. They led troops to surround Ma Su and cut off the water on the mountain. The Shu army was cut off from water, and the people's hearts were in chaos. Zhang Hebing breached it, and Ma Su was scattered. Only Wang Ping led 1000 soldiers to hold the camp. Seeing that Ma Su was defeated, Wang Ping ordered the soldiers to beat the drums desperately and hold on. Zhang He suspected that there was an ambush and dared not approach. Wang Ping took the opportunity to organize troops, gathered up the scattered troops of each battalion and retreated calmly.
Afterwards, Zhuge Liang beheaded Ma Su with tears in his eyes, and beheaded Ju Lushi, who carried out the wrong military deployment with Ma Su, and deprived Huang of his military power. Wang Ping was especially praised. He was promoted to join the army, unified five departments and joined one battalion, and promoted General Kou to seal the pavilion. At that time, it was a leap-forward promotion, but as someone commented: "Wang Ping, as a special soldier of the Han army, advocated making good plans before the war, and then facing the crisis, trying to avoid losses and turn the tide."
In the ninth year of Jianxing (23 1), the Shu army attacked Wei for the fourth time. Zhuge Liang surrounded Qishan and put Wang Ping in charge of the southern defense line. Wang Ping was not in prison at that time. "omnipotent" is the powerful force of the Shu army, which means that the army is elite, brave and omnipotent. Wang Ping temporarily guarded his army, so his official name was Wu Dangjian. Wei general Sima Yi and Zhuge Liang opposed each other and ordered Zhang He to take tens of thousands of people to attack Wang Ping. Wang Ping held on, and Zhang He couldn't win.
In the 12th year of Jianxing (234), the Shu army cut Wei for the fifth time. In August, Zhuge Liang died in the army. Zhuge Liang's death brought huge losses to the Shu army, and the military supplies were running out, forcing the Shu army to retreat to Hanzhong. Shu generals Wei Su Yan and Yang Yi were at odds. Zhuge Liang died, and Wei Yan made a chaotic excuse, but he was defeated in World War I, thanks to Wang Ping. The situation at that time was that Wei Yan did not listen to the dispatch, first led the troops south, burned the pavilion road, occupied Nangukou, and sent troops to meet Yang Yi and others. Yang Yi ordered Wang Ping to take the lead in attacking Wei Yan. As soon as Wang Ping went out to war, he loudly reprimanded Sergeant Wei Yan, and his words were awe-inspiring: "Zhuge Gong just died, and his bones are not cold. How dare you be so rude! " Wei Yan's men already feel that Wei Yan is wrong. After drinking this, they became more and more aware. So they dispersed and went their separate ways, and no one stayed to work for Wei Yan. Wei Yan was helpless and fled to Hanzhong with his son and several cronies. He was later killed by Ma Dai.

Soon, Wang Ping was promoted to the post-imperial army and general, and Wu Yi, the auxiliary riding general, was stationed in Hanzhong and concurrently served as the satrap of Hanzhong. In the 15th year of Jianxing (237), Wang Pingjin appointed An Hanhou to replace Wu Yidu as the satrap of Hanzhong. In the first year of Yan Xi (238), General Jiang Wan was stationed in Mianyang, and Wang Ping was a former general, acting as general. In the sixth year of Yan Xi (243), Jiang Wan returned from a serious illness and was stationed in Fucheng County. Wang Ping was appointed as a former general and general of Zhenbei University, in charge of Hanzhong.
In the spring of the seventh year of Yan Xi (244), Emperor Wei ordered Cao Shuang to attack Shu. In March of this year, Cao Shuang went to Chang 'an, and he sent his troops of more than 100,000. He and Xia Houxuan entered Hanzhong from Luokou (now southwest of zhouzhi county, Shaanxi).
At that time, there were less than thirty thousand defenders in Hanzhong. The generals were stunned when they heard that Wei Jun was coming. Someone said, "Today's strength is not enough to repel the enemy. Listen to it and stick to the two cities of Han and Le. If the thief lets you in, the ambush will be saved. " Wang Ping said, "That's not true. Hanzhong is thousands of miles away from Fucheng. If the thief is caught, it will be a disaster. It is advisable for Liu and Du to go first and then refuse according to the situation. If the thief divides the money and leads thousands of people to the scene, between Bill and Jun Fu, it will be above this plan "(Biography of the Three Kingdoms Wang Ping).
The generals expressed doubts about Wang Ping's opinion. Only Liu Min, the guardian army, agreed with Wang Ping. So Liu Min led his men to occupy the bustling area, where many flags were erected, stretching for hundreds of miles. Cao Shuangbing was stopped by the Ministry of Liu Min. Unable to move forward. At this time, Guanzhong and Shi Qiang harassed, and Cao Jun's military supplies could not be supplied. Horses, cows and mules died, and the people cried on the road. The reinforcements of Shu Army and Fei Yi in Fucheng County also arrived in time, so Cao Shuang had to lead the army back. These are all as Wang Ping expected (see the Battle of Hanzhong).
In the later period of Shu, the original famous soldiers died one after another. At that time, Deng Zhi was in the east, Ma Zhong was in the south and Wang Ping was in the north. These three Shu generals all have a high reputation, and they have also made many contributions.
Wang Ping has been a soldier all his life. He can't write, but he only knows ten words. But the official documents and letters dictated by him and recorded by others are insightful and clear-cut. According to records, he always read biographies in Historical Records and Hanshu by himself, whether on the March or in the military camp. After others read it to him, he not only recited it completely, but also evaluated the gains and losses, advantages and disadvantages of each character and learned from it.

Wang Ping abides by statutes, speaks seriously and never jokes. From morning till night, sit still, without any recklessness of military commanders. However, sometimes, his temperament is narrow and suspicious, and occasionally he feels inferior. This should be a pity!
In the 11th year of Yan Xi (248), Wang Ping and his son Wang Xunsi died one after another. At that time, Wang Ping, a native of Hanchang in the same county, was loyal, brave, generous and made great achievements. His reputation and title are slightly lower than Wang Ping's. General Zuo sealed the canal. Later, Yi Cheung and Liao Hua became generals. So people at that time said, "There was a king before, a sentence after, Zhang after, and Liao after."
