The Seven Heroes of the Warring States, were there really only seven countries left at that time?

At that time, it was not that only these seven countries were left, but that the strength of these seven countries was relatively strong at that time, so relatively speaking, there was the title of Seven Heroes, and in fact, there were many small countries.

At that time, there were actually thirty or forty countries, and because these seven countries were the main force at that time, they said so.

Not only these seven countries are left, the "Seven Heroes of the Warring States" refers to the seven most powerful countries during the Warring States Period, and there are also some small countries that do not have military strength and national strength, such as Lu State, Yue State and so on.

No, there are still some small countries, because these small countries are not well known to the world due to their limited influence and strength, such as the Lu State, the Yue State, the Wei State, the Song State, the birthplace of the four great ideas of Confucianism, Mo, Taoism, and so on.

At that time, they were not just 7 countries, in fact, there were more than 20 countries, but these countries were relatively large.

In addition to the Seven Heroes of the Warring States, there were also large countries such as Yue, Ba, Shu, Song, Zhongshan, and Lu. There are still Zheng Guo, Wei Guo, Teng Guo, Zou Guo, Fei Guo, etc., but their strength and influence are far less than that of the Warring States Seven Kai Jing Fuxiong, and they can only survive in the cracks of the powerful countries, and they are all destroyed by the Seven Heroes in the end. Among the seven heroes, the Qin State was the strongest in the later period.

With the exception of Qin, the other six kingdoms were all east of the Kushan Mountains. Therefore, the six countries are also known as the six countries of Shandong".

Due to the strengthening of the county system, the countries that acquired land, wealth, and population continued to engage in annexation wars, prompting the land that had been at war since the Spring and Autumn period to gradually move into a new era.
