Was there really only three countries during the three legged period, and why was the Yan Kingdom bu

During the Three Kingdoms period, there were not just three countries. At that time, except for Cao Wei who was chasing the Central Plains.

In addition to the three-legged establishment of Shu Han and Sun Wu, there are also some large and small regimes in the land of China, such as Xianbei, Wusun and other minority regimes. Except for Wei Shu Wu.

In addition to the three Han regimes, there was also a regime established by a Han warlord, the Yan State, which was located in the Liaodong area.

At that time, Dong Zhuo in the Huaxia region.

In the rebellion, Gongsun Yuan took the opportunity to occupy part of the northeast and established himself as the Marquis of Liaodong. Under his leadership, the land area increased significantly. After having the land, he began to recruit talents again, set up a museum to open a school, and was in the limelight for a while.

Because the three kingdoms of Wei, Shu and Wu fought each other in the Central Plains at that time, the Yan State was able to have room for survival and development. After Zhuge Liang.

Died of illness in Wuwenyuan, Shu went into decline, and Wei State.

Only then did he free up his hands to clean up the Yan Kingdom in the north.

In 238 AD, Sima Yi.

Led the troops into Liaodong, Yan Wang Gongsun Yuan and the whole city soldiers and civilians were besieged in the city, and soon, the general defending the city surrendered, Gongsun Yuan was beheaded, the whole territory of Yan surrendered, and Yan State has since perished. As for why we later said that the Three Kingdoms were established.

Not to mention the Romance of the Four Kingdoms?

First of all, Gongsun Yuan of Liaodong established himself as the king of Yan and did not claim the title of emperor. This rank is a prince, which is one level lower than the emperors of the three kingdoms of Wei, Shu and Wu. The Yan Kingdom he established was also a kingdom, similar to the princely kingdoms of the Han Dynasty, which was not a kingdom of emperors, and could not be on par with the Three Kingdoms of Wei, Shu and Wu.

Therefore, the statement of the Three Kingdoms of Wei, Shu and Wu is not wrong.

Secondly, even if he established his own regime and called it Yan Guo, it would have no legitimacy at all. Sun Wu did not recognize its legitimacy, Shu Han did not recognize it, and Cao Wei did not recognize it.

In addition, it is the smallest country in the Eastern Han Dynasty and the earliest country to be destroyed, and its existence does not have much impact on the overall integrity, so the Yan Kingdom was neglected by people.

There were more than three countries, because there were other small countries at that time, and countries like Yan had only existed for a short time. The reason why it is called the three-legged tripod is because Wei, Shu and Wu were the three most powerful countries at that time.

It was not a dispute between three countries, but many countries, but it was those three countries that were relatively powerful at that time, so they were called the three-legged stand.

The three-legged tripartite stand of Wei, Shu and Wu is the most obvious feature of this era, and the Yan Kingdom of the Three Kingdoms period, including today's Liaodong Peninsula and part of the Korean Peninsula, still exists.

No, there are still other regimes, and the Yan Kingdom exists, but it existed for a short time, and it was quickly recovered by Cao Cao.

Gongsun Du established himself as the Marquis of Liaodong, he used troops everywhere, attacked Goguryeo, Wuheng and other places, constantly expanded the territory, and regarded himself as the king of Liaodong, as a prestige and blessing, the existence of Yan was very short, and it was recovered by Cao Cao, only 48 years.

The temples of the two founding emperors of the Han Dynasty were set up, and when they traveled, they sat in a car that only kings could use, and they also wore crowns on their heads. The existence of the Yan State was very short before it was recovered by Cao Cao, only 48 years.

In 190 A.D., Gongsun Du was proclaimed emperor and established the Yan Kingdom. However, because Yan was far away from the Central Plains, it was not affected by the war, so it survived peacefully for 48 years.

This Yan Kingdom is not in the same vein as the Yan Kingdom during the Warring States Period, but the geographical location of the two countries is roughly the same, and the existence of the Yan Kingdom is only 48 years.

But there were also some other small states, but the regime was small, negligible compared to the Three Kingdoms, and was later captured by Cao Cao.

The three-legged stand is not just three countries, but these three countries are relatively strong, and they are all fighting, which is better known to everyone.

1. The Yan State was defeated by the Qin State and perished.

2. In 232 BC (the twenty-third year of Yan Wangxi), Prince Dan, who was a hostage in Qin, fled back to Yan. In 228 BC (the twenty-seventh year of Yan Wangxi), Qin broke Handan, Zhao Gongzijia fled to Daidi, the Qin army was in Yishui, and the ruling group of Yan was panicked. Taifu Juwu advocated joining forces with Dai, Qi, Chu, and Xiongnu to resist Qin, and Prince Dan realized that all the princes were subject to Qin, and it was impossible to organize a joint alliance, so he resorted to assassination.

3. In 227 BC (the twenty-eighth year of Yan Wangxi), Prince Dan sent Jing Ke to carry the map of Yan Dukang (now Yi and Zhuo regions, Hebei) and the Qin rebel general Fan Yu, and Qin Wuyang to Qin to deceive and surrender in an attempt to assassinate Qin Wang Yingzheng. Jing Ke's assassination of Qin failed, and Qin used this as an excuse to send Wang Jian and Xin Sheng to lead an army to attack Yan, and the Yan and Dai coalition forces organized resistance in the west of Yishui, and the Qin army defeated the Yan and Dai coalition forces.

4. In 226 BC (the twenty-ninth year of Yan Wangxi), He Wangqin led Wang Jian to lead his army to break through the Yan capital Jicheng (now southwest of Beijing), and Yan Wangxi and Prince Dan led the guards to flee Liaodong.

5. The Qin general Li Xin led the scumbags to pursue Yanshui (now Hunhe, Liaoning) with the victory, and then defeated the prince's Dan army and eliminated the main force of the Yan State Guard. King Yan killed the crown prince Dan and begged Qin for peace, but Qin did not allow it. In view of the remnants of Yan Zhao's forces, which had become a bag, in order to concentrate his forces against Wei Chu, the offensive was suspended.

6. In 222 BC (the 33rd year of Yan Wangxi), King Qin sent Wang Ben to lead an army to attack Liaodong, captured Yan Wangxi, and the Yan State perished. Qin set up Yuyang County, Youbeiping County, Liaoxi County and Liaodong County in Yandi.

The Warring States rose together, no country did not want to unify the Central Plains, but in the end, it was the once weak Qin State to complete the great cause of unification, if you talk about seniority, the Qin State is not ranked at all, but in the Warring States where force is king, in the end, the Qin State succeeded in dominating the world with its tiger and wolf division. Among several countries, Yan has the longest history, but it has not been able to dominate, mainly because the ruler of Yan was originally a nobleman of the Western Zhou Dynasty, and as a country ruled by nobles, there was no way to complete the reform and weaken the power of the nobles like Qin.

During the Warring States period, aristocratic rule became an obstacle to development, and whoever succeeded in changing the law to remove this obstacle would be able to succeed. With the development of the social economy, during the Warring States period, a new system was especially needed to replace the aristocracy. At that time, people of insight from all over the world were also aware of this problem, and they initiated changes one after another, such as the famous Qin State Shang Yang Reform, Chu State Wu Qi Reform, and Yan State was also like other countries, with Yan Zhao Wang changing the law.

Yan has a long history, the aristocratic power in the country is also very strong, and the ruler is also from a noble background, so there is no way to change the law successfully, and Yan has lost the possibility of hegemony.

There were no reform talents such as Shang Yang in Yanguo. The most important thing about Qin's change of law was that Shang Ying met the king of Qin, who appreciated him, and the two cooperated with each other and finally succeeded in changing the law. However, talent is hard to find, and there is no particularly outstanding talent in Yan State, although King Yan Zhao is willing to change the law, but because of his limited ability, and there is no talent who can help him change the law, in the end his change was not successful.

This also means that Yanguo, as the oldest country, has already lost in the next round of the struggle for hegemony.

From the incident of Yan State's failure to dominate, we can see that everything is beneficial and harmful, the ruler of Yan State was born aristocracy, which was originally an advantage, but later this advantage became an obstacle to the change of law and became a disadvantage, Qin State was just the opposite, and in the end, it was Qin State that succeeded in changing the law, and destroyed the Six Kingdoms and unified the Central Plains.

The Yan State, which has survived the longest in history, failed to unify the world, I think this is related to the management system and development system of the Yan State, and the Qin State finally unified the world because the Shang Dynasty changed the law to make the country stronger, and the Yan State remained unchanged, which would be eliminated by the long river of history

The history is long, and the cultural heritage is relatively deep, but the more this kind of this, the more it will be complacent, not reform, not innovative, and naturally after a long time, it will be backward and will be beaten.

This is mainly due to the fact that the successive monarchs of the Yan State were relatively weak and incompetent, without great talent, and their fiefs were relatively barren, and they did not achieve decent results in many wars.

There are many Yan kingdoms in history, but most of them refer to a princely state in northern China from the Western Zhou Dynasty to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period in Chinese history, and it was also one of the seven sails of the Warring States Period, which was wiped out by the Qin State in 222 BC, also known as the Northern Yan State;

Among the descendants of the Yellow Emperor, there is a man named Bo Yi, who was enshrined in Yan during the Shang Dynasty and established the Yan State, which is different from the Jidi Yan State in history, and is called Nanyan;

During the Western Han Dynasty, Wei and Jin dynasties, the Yan State was used as a first-class local political district and county, and the state was parallel; Later, there were the former Yan, the latter Yan, the West Yan, the Northern Yan, the Southern Yan, the Great Yan, the Five Bei Disturbance Dai Yan and the Ming Dynasty.

There are a total of 9 Yan kingdoms in Chinese history.

The two emperors of the calendar, the twelve years of Guozuo.

Northern Yan (407-436) was a regime established by Murong Yun and Feng Ba during the Sixteen Kingdoms period.

It was destroyed by the Northern Wei Dynasty in 436.
