The Three Kingdoms period was a struggle between the three states before Wei Shu and Wu. However, none of the three countries had the stability to fight one against two, so the situation of the three countries continued for a long time. However, in addition to the existence of other forces in the Three Kingdoms, they have also coveted the emperor's throne for a long time, and they are even more eager to look at the Central Plains.
In the face of these foreign peoples, the three countries are also careful and vigilant at every turn. However, in fact, no foreign tribe could invade the Three Kingdoms War on a large scale and become the fourth force at that time. It's not because they don't have the idea, it's that they don't dare, they don't have the ability.
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the masses rose up together, and all the princes were developing rapidly. They all dreamed of annexing other people's ranks, expanding their own territory, so as to achieve the goal of unifying China, and finally announcing the abolition of the Han Emperor and the establishment of a king on their own.
However, whether it is Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao, or Gongsun Zhan and Lü Bu, they have gradually disappeared from people's vision and eventually gone to extinction. Only the three states of Wei shu and Wu remained, that is, the struggle between Sun Quan, Cao Cao, and Liu Bei.
However, there are still a number of foreign forces on the frontiers of the Three Kingdoms. They do not belong to any of the three countries, but they are an independent armed force. They could choose to attack the Central Plains, defeat the Three Kingdoms, and unify China themselves. But they did not do so, not because of the vulgarity of their generals, but because they did not dare, and they did not have the ability to do so.
In the remote Shu Han of the Three Kingdoms, Liu Bei was the main one, Zhuge Liang was the prime minister, and Yizhou was their capital. The two junchen were bent on winning the Central Plains, and they had no time or heart to take care of the development of foreign forces. As long as you do not provoke and add to the chaos, we will never interfere with your development and operation.
For many years of peaceful coexistence, each tribe developed its own elite troops. However, the Shu state fought for many years, and its national strength was tired. After the Battle of Yiling, Eastern Wu burned Liu Bei's company camp, causing heavy damage, and even Liu Bei himself died in the White Emperor City after this battle. But with the end of this time, the forces of various ethnic groups have also begun to move.
In fact, they were the people of the Great Khan, but the race was different. However, Liu Bei had always claimed to be a descendant of the Han Dynasty, and he could not tolerate their former people taking advantage of the fire, so he decided to teach them a lesson.
Liu Bei died, and was succeeded by his son Liu Chan, and Kong Ming served as chancellor of the Shu state. He personally led the army to the south to recruit various rebellious foreign forces. Although the Battle of Yiling caused great damage to the Shu state, Kong Ming also showed great self-confidence in the face of these enemies. He believed that as soon as the army arrived, the enemy would definitely collapse.
However, the preparations still have to be done. It took a year to reorganize the soldiers and horses for training, and to prepare ordnance, grain, and grass for use in wartime. Finally, one day a year later, Kong Ming began the southern expedition. The soldiers carried out crazy attacks on the foreign tribes in three ways. As expected, the enemy collapsed and fled as soon as it encountered the Shu army. The battle was fought for a few months and it came to fruition.
Although the Shu army suffered little loss in this battle, it also completely conquered these foreign forces. It can be said that the least price was exchanged for the greatest victory, so that when they heard Kong Ming's name, they were frightened, like heavenly people.
This battle allowed Kong Ming to learn a lot and see a lot. The resources and skills of foreign tribes also made Kong Ming think about it. The Wudang Flying Army was composed of Kong Ming's selection of soldiers from foreign tribes who could fight good battles, and this unit also caused headaches for the enemy on the battlefield.
The Wu side belongs to the south. Their territory has many rivers, lakes and seas, so the water army of Eastern Wu was the best water army in the Three Kingdoms period at that time, but its land combat ability was slightly insufficient. In the face of foreign forces, Eastern Wu's land warfare capabilities were already enough.
Jiangdong in Eastern Wu has always been flowing with a team, they are the soldiers of qin shi huang when he swept the six kingdoms, and they are not controlled by the central plains. Even if he fled in Jiangdong territory, he would not be able to have a good face and good words from Jiangdong, and Sun Quan was extremely annoyed by this.
The Eastern Wu state has a Yangtze River natural danger. Although there were no peerless generals like Guan Zhang of the Shu state, nor did they have the powerful land soldiers of the State of Wei, they could also ensure the taiping of Jiangdong by resisting the water. However, the disadvantage was that it was only defensive, and it could not win the Central Plains in a short period of time, and it was often attacked and threatened by Wei and Shu.
When Sun Quan had a headache, these foreign forces frequently provoked. Sun Quan, who was also a man with a temper, ordered them to be struck. After that, they launched many devastating strikes, and even often incorporated these foreign forces into the army and let them go to the battlefield to resist Wei Shu's attacks. In short, as long as Sun Quan is in a military difficulty, he will fight against these foreign forces.
The State of Wei was Alexander, after all, the combat effectiveness of the northern nomads could not be underestimated. In this regard, the State of Wei also set up a special department to deal with foreign nationalities. It is full of first-class talents who are good at dealing with and consulting with the northern nomads.
If the individual departments are not effectively contained, then the troops of the State of Wei will be ushered in. However, as long as the Wei army moved, it was all directly smashing the Yellow Dragon and was only stopped until it was suppressed. Therefore, at that time, the foreign forces in the north were not a certain wave of foreign tribes at all, they were replaced by batches of them. But no one could shake the borders of the State of Wei.
At the end of the Three Kingdoms, Sima Yi's family was unified and the Jin Dynasty was established. However, the Jin Dynasty still did not get rid of the interference of foreign forces. The famous Rebellion of the Eight Kings was the reason, and the fundamental reason for this situation was the Division Strategy of the State of Wei in dealing with foreign tribes.
They co-opted and persuaded the nomads. Foreigners who perform well are given the opportunity to move into the interior to live, hoping to use the cultural knowledge of the Chinese land to change their thinking. However, this was extremely practical for the Wei state at that time, but there was some turmoil within the Jin Dynasty, and these people would immediately rebel as long as they gave benefits.
Therefore, the internal strife of the Jin Dynasty and the influence of these foreign tribes were all important threats to the stability of the imperial court. If Sima Yi were still alive, he would certainly expel them and then suppress the court, and would also come up with a more suitable way to govern the foreign people in the current situation.
In fact, from this point of view, there were also many foreign forces in the Three Kingdoms period, and they were all eager to unify the world. However, Wei Shuwu, who came into contact with him, was too fierce to fight with one, let alone unify China.
It seems that playing iron also needs to be hard. It's good to have dreams, but it's also necessary to have the ability to fulfill them. All ethnic forces have dreams of unifying the Central Plains, but their strength does not allow it. His own strength can't reach it, so it can only become a dream.
