7. South Korea
South Korea has lived a relatively long time before he is barely listed as one of the seven heroes of the Warring States, in fact, the gap between him and the other six countries is very large, and the other six countries have more or less had a glorious era, while South Korea has never. Ben thought of bringing the country up by relying on the law of not harming and changing, although there were some results, but it did not have much effect. For a relatively long time, Guotai Min'an vigorously developed smelting technology, and at that time there was a saying that the world's strong bows and arrows were out of Korea. But the strongest weapon is undoubtedly produced by the Qin State.
South Korea's land area is very small, the cultivated land area is also very small, surrounded by the qin, Wei, Chu three countries, understand the geography knows, this geographical location can not have good results. The objective conditions of the country, coupled with the squeeze of the surrounding powers, internal and external troubles, and when Qin destroyed the Six Kingdoms, it also flattened South Korea first, and South Korea was the softest persimmon.
6. Yanguo
The desert sand is like snow, and the Yanshan moon is like a hook. The approximate location of the Yan Kingdom is today's Beijing, so Beijing was also called Yanjing in ancient times. Today, it is a cosmopolitan metropolis, highly developed and prosperous, but at that time, the Yan kingdom belonged to the north of the Central Plains, with a sparsely populated area and a harsh climate. It is completely out of the mainstream territory of China.
The strongest time of the Yan kingdom was during the period of King Yan Zhao and Le Yi, when the Yan state recruited talents and soldiers, and united the five kingdoms of Qin, Zhao, Wei, Han, and Chu, and almost beat the Qi state to the yellow stall. The Eastern Hu people were also greatly destroyed, but the Eastern Hu was more than a thousand miles, and the border of the Yan State was suddenly pushed eastward for more than a thousand miles, and the land area of the Yan State also reached the highest in history, and the Yan State ushered in the most powerful period. However, the next generation began to mourn, not only did not govern the country well, but also put Le Yi to death, and since then the Yan kingdom has returned to the pre-liberation period.
The State of Yan was not originally a strong country, which was greatly injured and eventually became the second weakest country. Yan Zhaoduo was a generous and tragic man, and Prince Dan of Yan found the assassin Jing Ke with two knives to assassinate Qin Shi Huang, and the result was known to everyone, not only did not succeed, but gave Qin Shi Huang an excuse to swallow the Yan kingdom, and the fate of the Yan kingdom was also very sad.
5. State of Wei
The State of Wei was different from the previous two Fish Belly States in that it was once the most powerful state in the early Warring States period. Due to the appearance of the military expert Wu Qi, the famous Wei Wu pawn was trained, and for a time he was invincible and fought invincible all over the world. He even defeated the invincible Qin state many times. The State of Wei also has the genes of a small country, just when it became strong, it began to toss and turn, making enemies everywhere, and as a result, it was defeated by many countries in the Battle of Guiling, and the Battle of Maling was defeated by the State of Qi. Subsequently, he was defeated by the Qin state in Hexi.
At this time, King Hui of Wei did not know the depth, and finally in the Battle of Yique was defeated, the Wei army was almost completely destroyed, and only then did he deeply realize the true strength of the State of Wei, so he began to act with his tail between his legs, but it was too late, and the State of Wei was already seriously injured. The early Wei state was only militarily very powerful, but its foundation was not thick in essence, so it could not withstand such a blind toss, and finally the family foundation was basically lost, and it was a small country in a down-to-earth manner.
The strength and decline of the State of Wei were self-inflicted, so it was no wonder that no one else was there.
4. Zhao Guo
The State of Zhao was once considered to have the opportunity to become a hegemon, and since King Wuling of Zhao vigorously advocated hufu riding and shooting, the Army of the State of Zhao had an instantaneous qualitative leap. First, it destroyed the Zhongshan Kingdom, defeated several nomadic peoples in the northwest, and opened up yunzhong, Yanmen and Daisan Counties. At this time, zhao guo had the strength to break the wrist with any country, and it was completely able to compete with the qin state.
The military strength of the State of Zhao was really strong, and the four famous generals of the Warring States, the State of Zhao, occupied two - Lian Po and Li Mu. Zhao Guo was the largest power group in northern China for a time, but there was still a gap between the Zhao State and the powerful Qin State, coupled with the fainting of the King of Zhao, the Battle of Changping was killed by Bai Qi pit more than 400,000 people, seriously injured, and directly fell off the altar. Although it is said that Zhao Guo has not gotten the Qin State, it is true that it has caused the Qin State a headache for a while. It is said that Yan Zhao is more generous and sad, but in fact, it refers to Zhao Guo.
3. The State of Qi
Compared with the barren northern countries, the land of the State of Qi is very rich. The State of Qi belongs to the coastal state, which uses marine resources to vigorously develop its economy and is famous for its iron tools. The shining moment of the State of Qi was actually in the middle of the Warring States period, and it was not possible in the later period. When Qi Huan was hegemonic, the State of Qi carried out some reform measures, which greatly strengthened its military strength. At this time, the State of Qi and the State of Chu and the State of Qin ranked among the top three of the Seven Heroes of the Warring States.
The State of Qi destroyed many small surrounding countries, and then braved the world to destroy the State of Song, which can be described as very powerful. It is precisely because of this that the strong and competitive State of Qi left a pretext for other countries to unite to attack the State of Qi, and no matter how strong the State of Qi was, it could not bear it, and as a result, it was almost gone by the coalition forces, and basically the country was destroyed. Fortunately, the State of Qi produced a field list, a fire bull array, and only reluctantly saved the State of Qi. However, the later Qi state was not as good as before, and it was in a slump. It is a pity that the name of the head of the Spring and Autumn Five Hegemons was once the title.
2. Chu Kingdom
The State of Chu is the most difficult bone to gnaw on among the Six Kingdoms annexed by the State of Qin, which perfectly interprets what is called the style of a great power. The State of Chu has been very strong for more than 800 years, and like the State of Qin, the State of Chu dynasty Ming Jun, after three generations of efforts, to the time of the King of Chu Wei, the State of Chu through a series of wars, reached its peak, at this time the State of Chu from the book strength, even stronger than the State of Qin.
However, in the next generation of Chu Huai King's succession, it will not work, and the Chu State will quickly decline, basically never winning a battle, and even the country will be taken away by the Qin State. But the skinny camel is bigger than the horse, and the Chu state is still a superpower, because the Chu country has a wide territory, a large number of talents, and a very deep foundation of a big country. In the end, after the State of Qin destroyed the other five kingdoms, it fought with the State of Chu to the death, and the Qin general Wang Qi demanded that there must be 600,000 troops to attack the State of Chu, which showed the strength of the State of Chu.
However, after the death of King Wei of Chu and the succession of King Huai of Chu, the State of Chu began to decline, basically did not fight any major victories, and even its own country was taken by the Qin. However, despite this, the State of Chu still had a considerable strength, after all, the camels that died of thinness were larger than horses, and the strength of the State of Chu could be seen from the qin general Wang Qi's request to lead an army of 600,000 to attack the State of Chu. Because the previous Qin general Li Xin was chased by Xiang Yan of the Chu State for three days and three nights, Wang Qi was also the strength of even the Chu State. Although he finally defeated Xiang Yan's Chu Jun, he also had a bloody foundation. Moreover, the so-called: "Although Chu has three households, qin will be chu when it dies." Xiang Yu, a descendant of Xiang Yan, eventually led the Chu army to overthrow the qin state.
1. The State of Qin
The Shang martingale transformation method directly turned the Qin state into the first power. As soon as the Tiger and Wolf Division of the Qin State came out of Hangu Pass, the other six kingdoms would tremble in their livers, so there was a story of the Six Kingdoms joining forces against the Qin family.
In the Battle of Yique, the 120,000-strong army of the Qin State easily destroyed the 240,000 Wei-Han coalition forces, and Han Wei was willing to submit to his subjects from then on. In the Battle of Yanying, the Qin army directly took the capital of the Chu state. In the Battle of Changping, Bai Qi led an army to destroy the 400,000 troops of the Zhao State and directly destroyed the Zhao State.
Even the powerful Chu state could not compete with the Qin state, and other countries were even less worth mentioning. The State of Qin is the product of the joint efforts of many generations of kings, and is significantly higher than the other six countries, both economically and militarily. Coupled with the dangerous terrain of the Sichuan-Shaanxi region, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, the other six countries only have a share of being beaten.
In the end, the State of Qin recuperated, and qin shi huang, the first emperor of the ages, annexed the six kingdoms and unified China. As the head of the Seven Heroes of the Warring States, the State of Qin is indisputable.
