How strong was Shu during the Three Kingdoms?

The strength of Shu should be second only to Cao Wei and stronger than Eastern Wu, but poor management led to the weakening of national strength.

Shu is actually not strong, and it is only stronger than Wu, and it is still far worse than Wei, but the generals are indeed first-class.

Shu is not strong. It is not only a small country, but also not as large as Cao Cao's army, and it only survives for a period of time by relying on the support of several generals and Zhuge Liang.

The Shu State during the Three Kingdoms was very strong, although the place was not the largest, but the population was quite large, Zhuge Liang was good at governing the country, and the development of Shu was very good.

During the Three Kingdoms period, the Shu Kingdom was also very strong, with a population of 900,000 in its heyday. According to. Judging from the ratio of population to military strength at that time, Shu had at least two or three hundred thousand troops. This was already a very powerful army at the time.

And after the Battle of Chibi, it occupied Yizhou. Although it was slightly inferior to Cao Wei, it was at the time. It is also very powerful, even higher than the military strength of Soochow.

Originally, Shu was not weak, but after losing Jingzhou, Shu was weak, coupled with the battle of Yiling, the elite of Shu was lost, and the national strength was even weaker. Although after Liu Bei's death, Zhuge Liang presided over the government, pacified the Nanban, recuperated and developed production, and the national strength recovered a lot, but in order to support the Han family, he eliminated Qiang Wei. 6. The successive wars in Qishan have weakened the national strength of Shu again.

After Zhuge Liang, Jiang Wan, Fei Yuan, and one after another also vigorously developed production, and the national strength of Shu was restored, but unfortunately they were in power for a short time, the former died of illness, and the latter was assassinated by the generals of Wei. After them is Jiang Wei, Jiang Wei's Northern Expedition is even worse than Zhuge Liang, and the little national strength that Shu has finally recovered has basically been exhausted by Jiang Wei.

If it is the unification of Wu, it is estimated that Sun Quan will become a person like Qin Shi Huang. The reason is that what he did in his later years was a mess, and it was said that Cao Cao was suspicious in the Three Kingdoms, and Sun Quan's suspicion was even heavier in his later years, and he killed many people in his later years because of the problem of establishing an heir, among which Lu Xun was the most famous one, and after his death, Wu was very chaotic because of the problem of heirs. In order to enjoy happiness in his later years, the heavy burden of servitude increased the burden on the people.

If it is the unification of Shu, it is estimated that it will be better, after all, Liu Bei governs the country with benevolence, and Zhuge Liang is also very good to the people.

Personally, I think that Shu Han was not weak in the early stage, but when he was sincere, he was not with Shu, and only Zhao Yun was left among the five tiger generals. There are really few famous generals who can be reported in the later period.

Zhuge Liang came out of Qishan Mountain, the soldiers were reckless, and the bell would enter Sichuan, and the people were all dishes. How can such a country have offensive power.

Shu's strategic loop was too small, too closed, and Wei did not have the secession and chaos of the Chu and Han dynasties. Shu has the smallest population, the smallest land area, and the most responsible and prominent ethnic issues.

Peace is even more unlikely. Since Qin Shihuang unified China, the world has had the concept of great unification, and the orthodox ideology of Chinese Confucianism also advocates the concept of great unification. Therefore, every emperor at that time took unification as his ultimate goal.

Including Adou, otherwise he would not have disopposed Jiang Wei's Northern Expedition)

The reason why Liu Bei was able to establish a new dynasty in the ruins was that in addition to his own ability and charm, it was also indispensable to revive the name of the Han family. And Cao Wei is the culprit of the usurpation of the Han Dynasty, if Shu Han and Cao Wei shake hands and make peace, then isn't it contrary to the original goal? How can a small and weak country survive in the world without ideals?

The generals of Shu are definitely the most NB, but the internal affairs are not good.

It is a fact that the war is fought with comprehensive national strength, and it is a fact that Shu has the weakest national strength.

Who said Shu Han was the weakest? Soochow is the weakest.

From Liu Bei to Zhuge Liang, they have always pursued the policy of attacking instead of defending, until Zhuge Liang died, it has always been Shu Han and Wu who attacked Wei, and Wei and Wu did not dare to peep into Shu.

Shu did not lose to other countries, but Liu Bei was too impulsive, and Zhuge Liang did not pay his debts. Losing Jingzhou and Guan Yu, Liu Bei went to attack Wu again, and then lost Huang Zhong and Zhang Fei, which led to destruction.

Liu Bei wants to restore the Han family, Sun Quan just wants to live in peace and security, but Cao Cao wants to dominate the world, so how can people be peaceful?

In the end, they unified the world, and I estimate that Dongwu can last for 200 years, and Shu is good for 150 years.

Actually, I think it's better to go to Wei.

Shu is indeed the weakest, the geographical location is very partial, the transportation is inconvenient, the economy is underdeveloped, you look at the current west to know, the contest of a regime is a contest of comprehensive national strength, plus some other factors, in fact, Cao Cao and Sun Quan are very capable people, the author of the ** Luo adopted the traditional concept, Yang Liu depreciated Cao. I was deeply affected by it. I think the result should be no different, because the overall environment at that time has not changed, the productivity is still the same, and the ability of the individual is limited after all.

And you don't know if their descendants will be as good as their ancestors.

It's not good, the people are still alive.

Pretty much, but who knows.

The strongest period of Shu was not the strongest of the Three Kingdoms, the early stage of the Three Kingdoms ranking was Wei Shu Wu, and the later period was Wei Wu Shu. During the period of the Three Kingdoms, the Wei State basically occupied half of the country, and in terms of economy and military, Cao Cao firmly controlled the situation of three thirds of the world, and Wu Shu has always been in a weak position, and their origin is basically the result of Liu Bei and Sun Jian not being able to mix in the orthodox Han court.

In the heyday of the Shu Kingdom, it occupied Jingzhou and Yizhou, and after the battle of Guan Yu lost Jingzhou and Liu Beiyiling, the national strength was damaged, and then the national strength of Shu was restored by Zhuge Liang, and the southern and central regions were forced to submit, from which a large number of natural resources such as materials, population, equipment and minerals were obtained, and the national strength was strong again. Militarily, Shu Han also often took the initiative, but gradually declined in the later period, and was eventually destroyed by the Sima family who controlled Cao Wei.

Shu (15 May 221[1] – 263), one of the Three Kingdoms. In 221 AD, Liu Bei was proclaimed emperor in Chengdu, and the country was called Han, known as "Shu" or "Shu Han" in history, also known as "Liu Shu" and "Ji Han". Within the reach of the Shu Han Dynasty, it reached Wudu and Hanzhong in the north, Wuxia in the east, Baoyun and Gui in the south, and eastern Myanmar in the west.

It occupies the whole province of present-day Yunnan, most of Sichuan and Guizhou provinces, Shaanxi, southern Gansu, northwest Guangxi, northeast Myanmar and northwest Vietnam. In 263, it was destroyed by Wei. A total of two emperors, forty-three years.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the struggle between relatives and eunuchs continued, which made the government increasingly corrupt, and then the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out. But soon, He Jin and Dong Zhuo were defeated successively, and the situation in the world gradually turned into a melee between the princes.

Among the Three Kingdoms, Cao Wei has always been the strongest, because Cao Wei has nine or ten states (I can't remember the specifics), the largest territory, the largest population, and the best place (at that time, the north was dominated by Jizhou, and the development of productive forces was better than the three states of Yang, Jing and Yi in the south), Liu Bei had a tendency to become the strongest after Guan Yu flooded the Seventh Army, but he was immediately stabbed in the back by Sun Quan and became the weakest. Between the three kingdoms, it is about balance and checks and balances, and it is always the two weak that attack the strongest, and whoever breaks this balance will be attacked.

As for why Sun Quan wanted to join forces with Cao to fight against Liu, he had to analyze the situation at that time.

In history, Sun Quan and Cao fought against Liu only once, that is, Lü Meng crossed the river in white clothes to seize Jingzhou. The background at that time was that Liu Bei had just taken Dongchuan and already had Jingyi, the two largest states in the Han Dynasty. At this time, according to the comparison of strength, Cao Cao was the strongest for A, Liu Bei had two states for B, and Sun Quan had only one Yangzhou for C.

In the three-way game, the weak B and C must unite in order to have any hope of surviving in the confrontation of A, so Sun Liu has always been united, but at the same time, C does not want B to gain a huge advantage and strengthen himself when attacking A, so as to become the new Party A to threaten himself, so there is Jingzhou.

The background before Sun Quan joined Cao to resist Liu is as follows: Guan Yu sent troops to the Northern Expedition after Liu Bei won Dongchuan, flooded the Seventh Army with the help of strength and luck, and easily disintegrated Cao Cao's strong counterattack, it can be said that the battle was fought too smoothly, at this time Liu Beijun achieved a huge advantage over Cao Cao, and Cao Cao had already begun to discuss the matter of moving the capital. At the same time, Sun Quan first wanted Jingzhou, but Guan Yu didn't give it; Second, as mentioned earlier, Liu Bei's strength at that time was stronger than Sun Quan's, and if Sun Liu went to grab Cao Cao's territory together, Liu Bei would inevitably rob more, which would be unfavorable to Sun Quan himself, and might also threaten his own safety; Third, Guan Yu poured out the nest, Jingzhou was empty, and a fool would miss this great opportunity.

The above are the benefits of Lian Cao's anti-Liu.

So what about the downside? First, he is bound to have a bad relationship with Liu Bei; Second, if the situation gets out of control, Cao Cao's counterattack is very fierce, and the Sun and Liu families are wiped out, then the other one is also on the board, and there are risks, so checks and balances are very important. So Sun Quan made a choice after careful analysis:

First link Cao to fight Liu, and once Liu Bei is in a weak position, he will immediately join Liu to fight Cao. The specific plan of action is to take Jingzhou by Lü Meng first, and then blame Cao Cao for Guan Yu's death in a formal way to disperse the hatred, and then immediately make it clear to Liu Bei that we should cooperate.

So it is obvious that the biggest beneficiary at the end of the battle of Jingzhou is Sun Quan, who finally won Jingzhou, and he is not worried that Liu Bei will not unite with him (if Liu Bei still wants to play in the game of three points of the world, then even if he is stabbed by Sun Quan, he must unite with Sun Quan, otherwise he will be easily destroyed by Cao Cao as the weakest side).

This is purely a personal profile, I hope it will be helpful to you, if necessary, you can ask questions. Copy-paste party self-respect.

There is no doubt about it: no!

1: Area. At that time, the Wei state was basically 6-8 times larger than the Shu state.

2: Population. Fighting a war is to kill people, and the population of Wei is obviously several times more than that of Shu.

3: Military general. The Romance of the Three Kingdoms beautified the military generals of Shu, so many people thought that the military generals of Shu were strong.

Not really! The five good generals are all people who their brothers. There are more generals in the sea than in Shu.

I didn't see the late Shu Kingdom (there was no general in Shu, and Liao Hua was the vanguard).

4: Flickering. You were fooled by Luo Guanzhong. You see the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Romance. Romance. To put it bluntly, it is something written with people's preferences and YY.

5: Historical facts: Do you know why Brother Pig went out of school 1 time and 2 times?

In order to destroy Wei? no no no people are just attacking instead of defending. In the later period of the Three Kingdoms, the total population of the country was only more than 4 million.

There are only a few hundred thousand in Shu. It laid the foundation for the later Wuhu Chaos China. (Han people are less bullied, so remember to fight and call more people).

Shu has always been the weakest.

The area under its control is only a fraction of that of Wei, and it basically extends slightly around Sichuan as the center.

At the beginning of Sun Quan, the area of Wu changed little, and it had been controlling several provinces at that time, such as south of Huainan and southeast of Jingzhou.

The state of Shu was indeed the strongest for a period of time, that is, it occupied nine counties in Jingxiang, forty-one counties in Yizhou, and all parts of Hanzhong. It's just that Jingzhou was lost because of later carelessness. So that's it.

is the strongest, at that time he had Wolong, Feng Xiao, and Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong and Ma Chao, and also won the nine counties of Jingxiang and Yizhou, where the people are rich and the country is strong, so it is very strong. When fighting Yizhou, there were many generals, such as Fa Zheng. Later, he won Hanzhong, so Sun Quan joined forces with Cao to fight against Liu.

Shu is always the weakest, and Shu is inferior to Wei and Wu in terms of population and land.

The three countries have a balance, and each country has a period of strength.

Shu has always been the weakest Sun Quan only rushed to Jingzhou to kill Guan Yu when he connected Cao That's because the Jingzhou issue must be grabbed Whether it is Zhuge Liang's Longzhong or Lu Su's theory of the development of Eastern Wu put forward back then, it must be to take Jingzhou If you don't take Jingzhou, Wu will let Shu sit big and be dangerous because Wei has always been the strongest Shu will definitely not gnaw on the stone of Wei first It is obviously to take Wu first Sun Quan will not be stupid enough to let his nominal ally ally stick a knife in his heart So the direct reason is the ownership of Jingzhou It's not because of the strength of the country.

It is said that it is not the strongest, so why does Sun Quan want to join Cao to fight against Liu.

He killed someone's brother, can he not come and beat him".

The most powerful is the pseudo-prime minister.

Shu has never been the strongest.

At that time, there were 4 richest states in the world, Jizhou, Xuzhou, Jingzhou, and Yizhou, but Jingzhou and Xuzhou were defeated by Cao's army several times, and Yizhou was even more unbearable by Liu Bei and Liu Zhang's 3-year war.

As for Lian Cao's resistance to Liu, it was because Liu Bei took Yizhou, defeated Cao's army, captured Hanzhong, and the army was in full swing, and Sun Quan was not sure to defeat Liu Bei. But a momentary military victory does not indicate the strength of the country.
