Wen Qin, a famous general of the Cao Wei regime during the Three Kingdoms period, with outstanding merits in following the State of Wei, was the former general of Yangzhou. As the situation changed, the court of the State of Wei was gradually firmly controlled by the general Sima Shi, and Wen Qin was very dissatisfied, coupled with the fact that there was a gap with Sima Shi, so he led the army to rebel against Sima Shi. However, he had no choice but to suffer defeat, so he turned to the State of Wu, who was very pleased with his joining, so he was crowned as the General of Zhenbei and the defender of the town.

In the second year of Ganlu, the Wei general Zhuge Shi led an army against the Sima family, and Wen Qin accepted the order to lead the Wu army to support. Unfortunately, these two people had already had a contradiction, so Zhuge Zhi killed Wen Qin, and the history belonging to Wen Qin came to an end. Fortunately, after Wen Qin's death, his two sons avenged him and were disgraced. Chen Shou once said: The fruit is rough and fierce, and there are many military achievements, so as to increase the number of captives and reward them with favors."

Wen Qin was born into a family of warriors, and his father was also a famous general during the Three Kingdoms period, and he became famous for this status in his youth. In addition, he himself is also quite talented and good at marching and fighting, so he has been respected by everyone. Twenty-four years after Jian'an, some people in the DPRK and China plotted rebellion, and Wen Qin was also implicated and imprisoned because of his close relationship with him. According to the law, Wen Qin should be executed, but Cao Cao remembered that he was the son of his relatives and pardoned him.

Later, Wen Qin successively held official positions in Yamen, but because he was rude and rude and arrogant, the emperor at that time suppressed Wen Qin's actions many times, and later transferred him to the frontier in desperation. There were also ministers in the court who were very dissatisfied with Wen Qin's behavior and asked the imperial court to punish him, so Wen Qin was transferred back by the imperial court. After Cao Shuang's dictatorship, Wen Qin received profound treatment because of his fellow villagers. He also seized this opportunity, gradually gained prestige in the neutrality of the army, and cultivated a number of his own forces. Unexpectedly, it did not last long, Cao Shuang was killed due to the coup d'état, and Wen Qin was terrified and uneasy, but fortunately, the imperial court also granted him a higher official position in order to stabilize the court.

In the fifth year of Jiaping, Wu Guo's wife Fu Zhuge Ke occupied hefei with an army, and Wen Qin led the army to resist. Seeing that Wen Qin's forces were getting stronger and stronger, in the end Zhuge Luo chose to retreat and avoid the front, and Wen Qin's contribution to this battle was huge. In the second year of the First Century, a comet of more than twenty meters in the sky once appeared across the sky, starting from the demarcation point between the Kingdom of Wu and chu. Seeing this, Yuqiu Jian and Wen Qin were very happy and thought that this was a symbol of auspiciousness, so they decided to lead an uprising. Under the guise of Empress Guo, they listed many of the crimes of the great general Sima Shi and published them in the world, thus opening the prelude to their rebellion.

Soon after they sent their troops, they wanted to send someone to invite the Zhennan general Zhuge Shi, because he was mainly responsible for the Yuzhou area, and if he could join, then the rebellion would be greatly increased. However, he did not expect that Zhuge Zhi not only did not choose to join, but also publicized their conspiracy to the world, making Wen Qin and others stand against the people of the world. At the same time, in order to increase the possibility of victory, Wen Qin also made various plans, writing to Guo Huai and asking him to respond to his uprising, but Guo Huai unfortunately died, and Wen Qin's plan did not succeed.

In the second year of Ganlu, Zhuge Shi led an army to rebel against the State of Wei, and he first combined various people and horses to attack and kill the Yangzhou Assassins, and then gathered hundreds of thousands of officers and soldiers in the Huainan region and the 40,000 or 50,000 forces that had been obtained before, prepared enough grain for a year, closed the city gates, and did not allow anyone to go out. In addition, he also asked Changshi to take his young son to the State of Wu to request assistance, and after receiving the news, the State of Wu was very pleased with the internal chaos in the State of Wei, so he immediately sent Quanduan and others to lead the elite soldiers to join Wen Qin in receiving Zhuge Birthday.

By the time the Wu army arrived, general Zhennan of the State of Wei had just led an army to encircle Shouchun. Fortunately, the encirclement had not yet formed, so Wen Qin took this opportunity to enter the city from the northeast and meet Zhuge Zhi, and the two sides formed a stalemate. However, when the general Sima Zhao led an army of 260,000 men to fight zhuge outside Shouchun City, Wen Qin repeatedly tried to break out of the siege, but due to military strength, he never succeeded. In the end, he was different from Zhuge Tian's thoughts, so he was only killed by Zhuge Shi. In this way, he did not die in the Shroud of Ma Ge, and was tragically murdered by internal plotting, which is also quite unfortunate.

Lu Bi once commented on Wen Qin: At that time, the generals of the Qin King, but Wen Qin's father and son, rough and fierce, capricious. This Wen Qin was really a tiger general, and he really inherited his father's style, and he could be described as invincible on the battlefield. When he first confronted Zhuge Luo, he hurriedly led his army to pursue, and even achieved the result of beheading more than 10,000 people. Even when Zhuge Shi rebelled, he also led the army to rush to the front, showing the spirit of a warrior who was not afraid of life and death and dared to fight.
