諸葛亮圍祁山，南安、天水、安定三郡反應亮。帝遣真督諸軍軍郿，遣張郃擊亮將馬谡，大破之。安定民楊条等略吏民保月支城，真進軍圍之。条謂其眾曰：「大將軍自來，吾原早降耳。」遂自缚出。三郡皆平。真以亮惩於祁山，後出必從陳倉，乃使將軍郝昭、王生守陳倉，治其城。明年春，亮果圍陳倉，已有備而不能克。增邑，并前二千九百户。四年，朝洛陽，遷大司馬，賜劍履上殿，入朝不趋。真以「蜀連出侵邊境，宜遂伐之。數道并入，可大克也」。帝從其計。真當发西討，帝親临送。真以八月发長安，從子午道南入。司馬宣王溯漢水，當會南郑。諸軍或從斜穀道，或從武威入。會大霖雨三十餘日，或栈道斷絕，詔真還軍。

Wang Sheng was a Cao Wei general ordered to defend Chencang alongside Hao Zhao; he does not appear in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
Deeds
Judging that Zhuge Liang would necessarily march through Chencang in his next campaign, Cao Zhen ordered Wang Sheng and Hao Zhao to defend the city and repair its walls (according to historical records).
The following spring, Zhuge Liang besieged Chencang, but the city was already prepared for a defense and was not captured (according to historical records).
