Wang Lian is a native of Nanyang County. When Liu Zhang entered Shu, he was appointed as the county magistrate of Zitong. Liu Bei rose up in Meng Jia and marched into the south. Wang Lian shut the gate and refused to surrender. Liu Bei thought he was right and did not force him. After Chengdu was pacified, Wang Lian was appointed as the county magistrate of Shifang County and later transferred to Guangdu County. He is successful in all places where he is an official.

Wang Lian was promoted to be a captain in charge of the salt and iron industry, which made many contributions to the country and was beneficial to the national government affairs. So I chose some excellent talents as my subordinates, such as Loire, Du Qifeng, Liu Gan and others. These people later became big officials, all starting with Wang Lian's promotion. Later, Wang Lian was promoted to be the prefect of Shu County and the general of Xingye, and he was still in charge of Yanfu affairs as in the past.

In the first year of lite, Wang Lian was appointed as a captain of Cheqi and a prime minister, and was named Pingyang Hou Ting. At that time, the southern counties refused to submit, and Zhuge Liang planned to lead the army to conquer it himself. Wang Lian even remonstrated that "these places are uninhabited and plague is prevalent, which is not worth the personal risk that Zhuge Liang expected." Zhuge Liang, considering that the generals were not as good as himself, must go, and Wang Lian's words were sincere, so he stayed for a long time. Shortly after Wang Lian's death, his son Wang Shan inherited the title and became the magistrate of Jiangyang.
