| Post = Marquis Zhuang | Other = | Notes = }} Wen Ping (birth and death years unknown), courtesy name Zhongye, was a military general who lived in the late Eastern Han Dynasty and Three Kingdoms period. During his tenure as a general under the warlord Cao Cao, he was credited with defeating Guan Yu and defending Cao's interest in Jiangxia from the eastern warlord Sun Quan. ==Early life== Wen Ping was a native of Nanyang, he originally served under Liu Biao, the Governor of Jing Province, and was tasked with defending the province's northern frontier. When Liu Biao's successor, Liu Cong, submitted to Cao Cao's authority, Wen Ping was hesitant to surrender, and was asked by Cao why he was so late to yield. Wen Ping promptly replied Cao Cao that he was indeed considering resistance because he was tasked by Liu Biao to do so, and it was not his plan to yield.〔「先日不能輔弼劉荊州以奉國家，荊州雖沒，常願據守川漢，保全土境，生不負於孤弱，死無愧於地下，而計不得已，以至於此。實懷悲慚，無顏早見耳。」 See Records of the Three Kingdoms. (Book of Wei. Chapter 18. )〕 Cao Cao was impressed by Wen Ping's response and gave him back the power to command a portion of his own Jing Province troops. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Wen Ping」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
