How big was the land area of Shu during the Three Kingdoms?

Let's first talk about the approximate land area of the Three Kingdoms during the Three Kingdoms period, including the Wei State.

It is the largest, with 87 counties and 12 states, a population of about 5 million people, and a territory of 2.91 million square kilometers; Wu State is second, with 32 counties and 3 prefectures, and Guangzhou was added in the later period, with a population of about 2.5 million people and a territory of 1.45 million square kilometers; Shu is the smallest, with 22 counties and 1 state, which is Yizhou.

It has a population of about 1.1 million people and an area of 1.07 million square kilometers.

There is ambiguity in this question. If you simply discuss the Shu Kingdom, the area is very small. In 221 AD, Liu Bei was proclaimed emperor in Chengdu, and the country was called Han, known in history"Shu"or"Shu Han""Ji Han"。

This is the Kingdom of Shu. When the Shu State was established, Guan Yu had already fallen. A large area of land in Jingzhou and the three counties of Shangyong have been lost.

Only the Yizhou and Hanzhong regions remain.

Since the establishment of the Shu State, it has lost all of Jingzhou, only all of Yizhou and all of Hanzhong remain, Nanzhong is basically not in the sphere of influence, and one of Yizhou has been lost after the Nanzhong Rebellion. During the first Northern Expedition, Nanzhong was all included in the territory, and the three counties responded, which should have been the limit of Shu Han.

At this time, the power of Shu Han was the largest, so Liu Bei was crowned the king of Hanzhong that year. Guan Yu launched the battle of Xiangfan, and the final result was that Guan Yu carelessly lost Jingzhou, and the three counties of Jingzhou were all occupied by Eastern Wu, and Liu Feng and Meng Da turned against each other, Meng Da surrendered to Wei, and led the Wei army to attack the three counties of Shangyong, and then Liu Feng lost the three counties of Shangyong, and at this time Shu Han was left with only one state of Yizhou.

In the thirteenth year of Jian'an, after the Battle of Chibi, Liu Bei received the four counties of Jingnan in the name of Jingzhou Mu Liu Qi, that is, Wuling County, Guiyang County, Changsha County, and Lingling County, and on the grounds of relocating the people of Jingzhou, he took the south bank of Nanjun from Zhou Yu, that is, the mouth of the Youjiang River, and renamed it Gong'an. In the fifteenth year of Jian'an, Zhou Yu died of illness on the way west to Yizhou, and Lu Su suggested that Sun Quan lend Jiangling City, that is, the north bank of Nanjun, to Liu Bei, the reason is also very simple, that is, Lu Su believes that if Jiangling City is still in the hands of Wu Jun, then Dongwu is to resist Cao Jun for Liu Bei on both sides of Jiangling City and Jiangxia County.

The territory of the Three Kingdoms is 3 million in Wei, 2.8 million in Wu, and 2.2 million in Ji Han.

The actual control was only half of Sichuan plus the area around Hanzhong plus a little place in Hubei, and Yunnan and southern Sichuan were barbarian lands at that time. In the early stage, there were still some parts of Hunan, Hubei and Guangxi provinces, which were actually two-thirds of Jingzhou at that time. After Guan Yu's defeat, this part of the area was completely gone.

In the twentieth year of Jian'an, Sun Quan thought that Liu Bei owned Yizhou, so he asked Liu Bei for Jingzhou, Liu Bei did not give it, Sun Quan sent Lü Meng to attack Changsha, Lingling, and Guiyang counties, and Liu Bei led 50,000 soldiers from Yizhou to Jingzhou, ready to fight a battle with Sun Quan. At this time, Cao Cao took Hanzhong. Liu Bei had no choice but to reach an alliance with Sun Quan in Xiangshui, and Liu Bei only owned three counties west of Xiangshui, namely Nan County, Lingling County, and Wuling County.

In the twenty-fourth year of Jian'an, Huang Zhongding's army beheaded Xiahou, Cao Cao conquered Hanzhong, and returned in vain, Liu Bei finally owned the land of Hanzhong, and also sent Liu Feng and Meng Da to capture the three counties of Shangyong.

And Liu Bei can develop with peace of mind, which is obviously not cost-effective for Eastern Wu, and if Jiangling City is given to Liu Bei, then Liu Bei has to resist the Cao army with Sun Quan, which can reduce the pressure on Eastern Wu, Sun Quan also felt very reasonable, so he agreed, it can be seen that Liu Bei did not borrow the entire Jingzhou, but borrowed half of the southern county. In the sixteenth year of Jian'an, Liu Zhang listened to Zhang Song's suggestion and invited Liu Bei to enter Sichuan to resist Zhang Lu, in the seventeenth year of Jian'an, Liu Bei and Liu Zhang turned against each other, Liu Bei led the army to attack Chengdu, and let Zhuge Liang take Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun from Jingzhou to Yizhou, and finally in the nineteenth year of Jian'an, they surrounded Chengdu together, and Liu Zhang surrendered.

Shu is mainly divided into 6 counties (Shu County, Guanghan County, Qianwei County, Jiangyang County, Wenshan County, Hanjia County) Ba is mainly divided into 5 counties (Ba County, Badong County, Brazil County, Fuling County, Danqu County) Hanzhong is mainly divided into 7 counties (Hanzhong County, Weixing County, Shangyong County, Xincheng County, Wudu County, Yinping County, Zitong County).

The area of Shu is equivalent to four provinces.

The changes in the area of Shu can be divided into three periods, which are the heyday, the weakening period and the stable period. In its heyday, the territory of Shu included the four counties of Jingnan, Sichuan, Shu, Yizhou and Hanzhong, spanning Jingzhou and Yizhou, covering an area of nearly 1.2 million square kilometers. The four counties of Jingnan are Wuling County, Changsha County, Guiyang County, and Lingling County, which are the northeast to southwest of Changde, Changsha, Guiyang and Hunan Province.

In this way, the territory of Shu in its heyday was still quite large, directly spanning the four provinces of what is now China. The field that was laid down in the heyday really went through a lot of difficulties and dangers, so that the Shu Kingdom started from scratch and underwent a qualitative change. And in this period, it is also the heyday of Shu talents, and everything seems to be the initial stage full of hope.

1. The area of the three countries is 5.43 million square kilometers. Cao Wei 2.91 million square kilometers, Shu Han 1.06 million square kilometers, and Dongwu 1.45 million square kilometers.

2. After the founding of Cao Wei, there were 87 counties and 12 prefectures, including: Sili, Xuzhou, Qingzhou, Yuzhou, Jizhou, Bingzhou, Youzhou, Yanzhou, Liangzhou, Yongzhou, Jingzhou, and Yangzhou.

3, Shu Han is Liu Bei.

It was not until after the Battle of Chibi that he was in Zhuge Liang.

With the assistance, it began to develop from the southern part of Jingzhou. Its influence once covered Jingzhou, Yizhou and Hanzhong. Before and after the founding of the country, there were many wars with Sun Wu and the loss of Jingzhou, and after Zhuge Liang settled in the south and the south, he obtained the territory of Yunnan, and gradually stabilized since then.

4. The territory of Soochow owns most of Yangzhou. After the Battle of Chibi, Sun Quan successively gained western Jingzhou and Jiaozhou, and defeated Guan Yu.

After gaining the entire southern part of Jingzhou. Until Sun Quan became emperor, the territory stabilized.

The period of the Three Kingdoms is actually the period of the establishment of the Three Kingdoms of Wei, Shu and Wu. These three countries divided China's land into three parts. Among them, Wei occupies the largest land, followed by Wu, and Shu is the smallest.

Because Wei was the longest, it had the widest land area. The Wei state had 87 counties and 12 prefectures, which together constituted the area of the Wei state, totaling 2.91 million square kilometers. And Wu followed closely behind, and also had a large land area.

He has 32 counties and 4 continents. The country covers an area of about 1.45 million square kilometers. Shu was the smallest of the three kingdoms.

It has only one state and 22 counties. The land area is only 1.07 million square kilometers.

The founder of Wei was Cao Cao, and because it was the first to be founded, its land area was the largest among the Three Kingdoms. However, Wei was not originally called Wei because Cao Pi usurped Cao Cao's throne, so he changed the name of the country to "Wei". And it was this period when Cao Pi usurped the throne and changed his name, and the Three Kingdoms period officially began.

Before that, the Three Kingdoms were not really founded. Because they did not claim to be emperor in their own power. And only after they became emperors did the Three Kingdoms period really begin.

The founder of the state of Wu was Sun Ce, who occupied the area south of the Yangtze River, although the south was relatively weak and poor in ancient times, but under the leadership of Sun Quan, they also became rich and powerful. However, because he was unfortunately assassinated in the war, his younger brother Sun Quan succeeded to the throne. When Sun Quan succeeded to the throne, he named himself the king of Wu and changed the name of the country to "Wu".

The founder of Shu is Liu Bei, and the founder of Shu has a relatively turbulent background. He was originally a civilian, but through his unremitting efforts, he recruited Zhuge Liang, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and other capable people, and it was precisely becauseFor these capable people, he founded the Shu Kingdom, won the Battle of Chibi, and Jingzhou and Yizhou established their own Shu Kingdoms. and established himself as Emperor Zhaolie of the Han Dynasty.

The name of the country was changed to "Shu".

Everyone knows that the Three Kingdoms have been fighting for hegemony for a long time, and the three countries have been at war, so the territorial area of each country is also changing.

The land area of Wei is about 291 square kilometersShu covers an area of about 1.07 million square kilometersWu GuoIt covers an area of about 1.45 million square kilometers

According to expert research, it is supposed that the territory of Wei is larger, and Wei has 87 counties and 12 prefectures, covering an area of about 297 square kilometers; followed by Wu with 32 counties and three states, with an area of about 145 square kilometers; Finally, there are 22 counties and 1 state in Shu, with an area of 107 square kilometers.

During the Three Kingdoms period, the area of Wei was equivalent to the entire north of present-day state, while the area of Shu was southwest of China, and the area of Wu was equivalent to the area of present-day central China.
