During the Three Kingdoms period, in addition to the Kingdom of Wei, the State of Shu, and the State of Wu, there was actually another country, and this country was the State of Yan! According to records, the yan state has nearly one million people, the number of troops can reach 100,000, and the people of the Shu state are only one million, so the Yan state is actually a big country that is not weaker than the Shu state
。 So if the three kingdoms of Shu, Wu, and Yan joined forces and beat up the State of Wei, what would be the outcome?
Yan Guo
Many people don't know much about the Yan Kingdom, in fact, this country is very powerful! At the beginning, the Emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty ordered Gongsun Du to guard Liaodong, and later in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Gongsun Yuan seized the position of his uncle Gongsun Gong and became the Taishou of Liaodong, and based on this, he focused on development, making liaodong's strength more and more powerful, and finally established the state of Yan.
Due to the perennial war in the Central Plains, the population loss was serious, and Liaodong was relatively peaceful, so the population of Liaodong was increasing, which made Liaodong jealous of Cao Wei, and many people in the State of Wei even suggested that Gongsun Yuan be executed. After this news was discovered by Gongsun Yuan, he began to resent Cao Wei, and eventually put it into action, uniting with Eastern Wu to work together to cause harm to Cao Wei.
The yan state has a population of nearly one million and an army of nearly 100,000, which is completely a powerful force that is not inferior to the Shu Han, so the state of Wei has always been wary of it, but before the state of Yan has always behaved more honestly, and did not attract the attention of the Cao Wei center, until later the state of Yan colluded with Eastern Wu to plot to jointly attack Cao Wei, and the state of Wei began to attack the state of Yan.
Original text: The Wei family can not record loyalty, after praising the meritorious people, but to make the slander to do their will, listen to the history of youzhou assassination, Dong Lai Taishou false words, molest the Xingzhou soldiers, and try to harm the Chen County. The subject did not fail Wei, and Wei was absolutely.
According to historical records, in fact, the State of Yan took the initiative to show favor to the State of Wu, and also gave Eastern Wu a red horse and a famous marten, which brought the relationship with Eastern Wu closer. At that time, the monarch of Eastern Wu was still Sun Quan, who had been fighting with Cao Wei, and suddenly received a request for alliance from the State of Yan, so he began to seriously consider this proposal, and finally Sun Quan felt that uniting with the State of Yan was a very cost-effective deal, so he began to discuss with the State of Yan and the State of Shu how to cut down Wei.
The State of Yan allied with Eastern Wu, and from time to time funded Eastern Wu with various items, which made Cao Wei very unhappy, so the State of Wei sent a large army to cut down Yan, but the State of Yan was a large country that was not weaker than the State of Shu, so the State of Wei failed to cut down Yan. Just at this time, the envoys of the State of Yan sent envoys to the State of Wu to return the favor, saying that the State of Wu looked strong, but the actual combat effectiveness of their army was not good, which made the State of Yan very frustrated, because the State of Wei was close and the State of Wu was far away, and if the State of Wu was not strong enough to contain the State of Wei, then the State of Yan would be constantly suppressed by the State of Wei, so the State of Yan changed its strategy again, and was ready to break off its alliance with Eastern Wu and reconcile with the State of Wei.
This rebellious behavior of the Yan state angered Sun Quan, who had always been Sun Quan selling others, and no one else had sold Sun Quan, so Sun Quan decided to raise an army against Wu, but because the two sides were too far apart, the plan to attack the Yan state was finally bankrupt. However, since then, the two countries have also lost the basis of alliance, and in the end, the Yan state was beaten to the point of destruction and complete destruction in the war with the State of Wei!
Judging from historical records, in fact, the Yan state did intend to join forces with Eastern Wu and Shu Han to jointly oppose Cao Wei at the beginning, but for various reasons, this alliance plan did not succeed. And the reason for this, in fact, there are two main reasons!
First, the foundation of trust is poor
Before the Yan State took the initiative to join forces, in fact, the State of Wu and the State of Shu had been working together against Cao Wei for many years, but there were many trust risks hidden behind this alliance. Originally, the State of Shu had great trust in the State of Wu, and as a result of the Battle of Xiangfan, Eastern Wu secretly attacked Guan Yu and robbed Jingzhou, which made the State of Shu very angry. It was also after this battle that the State of Shu was very wary of the State of Wu, and the two sides could no longer cooperate together!
When Zhuge Liang was in power, although the relationship with Eastern Wu was repaired, in fact, the two sides were still on guard against each other, and it was impossible to be like before. The State of Yan is located in Liaodong, and the State of Wu and the State of Shu are relatively far apart, and can only communicate through documents and envoys, and many operational details and strategic planning cannot be well communicated, so the three parties cannot achieve true unity and coordination. Moreover, Sun Quan's reputation for betraying the alliance is well known all over the world, and many people are wary of Eastern Wu, so the trust foundation of the three parties is very poor, and it simply does not meet the standard of the alliance.
Second, the strength is poor
The reason why the State of Yan wanted to ally with the State of Wu and the State of Shu was that it valued the military strength of these two countries, hoping that they could contain the State of Wei. But in fact, the military strength of these two countries is not as strong as imagined. Especially Eastern Wu, although its national strength seems to be strong, they are mainly strong in water, and the army is not good, that is to say, Eastern Wu has more than enough to protect itself, and the attack is insufficient, and it is completely unable to become a qualified ally!
epilogue
On the whole, if the three kingdoms of Shu, Wu, and Yan allied and beat up the State of Wei, in fact, the end would be very tragic, and it would still be broken by Cao Wei in the end! The reason is very simple, first, the trust foundation of the three parties is too poor to achieve unified coordination; second, everyone's strength is relatively poor, and few have the ability to hurt Wei Guo!
