Since ancient times, Yan Zhao has been heroic, Zhao Guo can be tough with Qin State, why is Yan Guo

Zhao State is in the strongest battle sequence after the division of the three families, so it can fight against the Qin State, and the Yan State is weak among the Seven Heroes, how can it have the strength to fight the Qin State.

Since ancient times, Zhao Yan has been a hero. But it doesn't mean that the strength of Zhao and Yan is equal, Zhao can indeed fight hard with Qin, but Yan Guo, his strength is far inferior to Zhao, and the strength of Qin is too far away.

The two countries take different approaches, a head-to-head battle, the two armies face each other. One is a chivalrous righteous man who assassinated the King of Qin. In addition, there is also a gap between the comprehensive national strength of the two countries.

The reform of the Yan State did not improve the strength of the country, and the power of the internal struggle of the country was seriously weakened, and Zhao was relatively strong in military strength, so he was able to confront Qin.

First of all, the strength of the Yan State itself in the Seven Kingdoms is not good, it is relatively poor, and then coupled with the internal strife of Yan, as well as external consumption, of course, it cannot compete with the Qin State, while the Zhao State is stronger.

Because the Yan State has suffered a great loss of vitality in the previous wars, coupled with a lot of internal strife, it is inevitable that it will lose to the Zhao State.

Mainly because the gap between the national strength of these two countries is too large, because the Yan State has not yet recovered from the previous war.

Because if you can't beat it, what else can you do, if you can't fight hard, you have to fight, and that can't change the final result. So I can only engage in assassination or something, and I don't dare to fight hard.

In the late Warring States period, the Qin State was dominant, but the six eastern countries were not powerless to fight back. In particular, the military strength of Zhao was quite strong. After the military reform of King Wuling of Zhao, Li Mu alone led an army of 100,000 to defeat the nomadic Xiongnu in the north without the power to fight back.

In the later period, the six eastern kingdoms were all led by Zhao and united against Qin. In the famous Battle of Changping, the Qin army killed 400,000 Zhao troops, but in the end, the Qin army lost more than 200,000 yuan, especially in the later Battle of Handan, the Zhao army killed 300,000 Qin troops with old and young weak brigades. Its strength is evident.

Since ancient times, Yan Zhao has been a generous and sad person. Zhao Guo is not dishonored, but Yan Guo is a little weak. was destroyed by the Qin State in a battle, and it seems that he only relied on Jing Ke to stab Qin to regain a little face, but he couldn't get to the hall of elegance.

Why is Yan like this? If you want to talk about the main reason, it is nothing more than the right place and time. Yan is located in the northernmost part of the Central Plains, occupying the land of Yanyun later, a part of Liaoning, with many mountains and dense forests, and lack of food.

The weather is also relatively cold, resulting in a small population and a weak national strength. The most fatal thing is that the kings of the Yan State in the past dynasties, who have not made great achievements, naturally cannot talk about reforming national politics, attracting population, and increasing wealth. It is adjacent to Zhao, Qi and other countries in the south, all of which are strong hidden cultivation countries and have achieved hegemony.

And Yan Guo is much worse. It would be nice to be able to defend the country. @喜马拉雅@悟空问答@今日头条创作空间@头条号

Yan and Zhao have always had contradictions, and they were attached to Youtong Wei, and the contradictions were covered up First of all, it was caused by the problems left over from the history of the two countries; In the process of development, Yan has always had a bad relationship with its neighboring countries.

According to the records of historical materials such as "Historical Records", "Tomb Suspicion" and "Warring States Policy", during the reign of Yan monarchs such as King Yan Wucheng, King Yan Xiao, and Yan Wangxi, the Qin Dynasty adopted the strategy of staring at distant friends and close attacks, and in order to cater to the will of Qin or take advantage of the crisis of Zhao, Yan constantly provoked disputes with Zhao.

After the protracted war for hegemony in the Spring and Autumn Period, the number of vassal states in the territory of the Zhou Dynasty was significantly reduced, and in 453 BC, Han, Zhao, and Wei eliminated the Zhi clan with the results of the three divisions as the standard Li faction, and laid the pattern of the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period in which Bihe. In the historical stage of the Warring States Period, the seven countries of Qin, Chu, Qi, Yan, Wei, Korea, and Zhao were known as the "Seven Heroes of the Warring States".

It's because Yan is a weak country. And it disappeared after less than half a year of existence, so historians have not recorded much.

It is because when the Yan State was competing for hegemony in these Warring States Seven Heroes, the sense of expression and presence was relatively weak, and it did not participate in any famous battles, and Yan and South Korea were also the weakest countries among the Seven Heroes of the Warring States, so few people mentioned Yan State.

Mainly because Yan and Qin had very little dealings, and they were also affected by the geographical location, so there were naturally very few records of Yan by Qin.

1. The northernmost part of the region, the country is mountainous, hilly and other areas that are not conducive to cultivation. Judging from the location of the separation, the general range is now Liaoning, Shanxi, Hebei, Inner Mongolia and part of the Korean Peninsula, and the situation is slightly better after the destruction of the Ji Kingdom and the relocation of the capital to Jicheng (modern Beijing). In ancient times, except for some areas of Shanxi and Hebei, these regions were not suitable for cultivation and produced little grain.

Without food, a country is not rich and strong. 2. Located in the northernmost part, it is deeply threatened by the northern nomads. The Yan State was already weak, and it also had to face nomads such as Linhu and Donghu in the north.

3. Little contact with the Central Plains, backward culture, and a small degree of innovationYanguo has become the smallest among the countries because of its remote geographical location and scarcity of talents. However, in fact, it is not easy for Yanguo, because it does not have a geographical advantage, but it is commendable to be able to hold on.

Because the Zhao State was arrogant, and the Qin State was in a state of power at that time, the combat effectiveness of the soldiers of the Qin State was very strong.
