    The three clans were divided, and the Warring States began. Zhao, Wei, and Han began to work hard after connecting their respective territories by exchanging territories. Wei changed first, appointed Wu Qi, compiled and trained Wei Wuzu, and quickly became strong.

    After Wei became strong, it was Qin that attacked first, occupying the land west of Qin and locking Qin firmly in Hangu Pass. At this time, Wu Qi was stationed in the west of the Wei River, and led the defenders of the west of the river to frequently cross the river to attack Qin. So, since Wei had such an advantage, why not annex Qin further?

    In fact, since then, Wei did not choose to eliminate Qin as its first strategic goal. Don't they have a long-term vision? Of course not, but the difficulty or price of destroying Qin is enough to deter any monarch of Wei.

    In fact, Wei also has his own difficulties. Wei is located in the Central Plains, also known as the land of the four wars, and the three kingdoms of Zhao, Wei, and Han have just separated to resolve internal contradictions. Although the three countries are not related to each other, they are not unified and have their own small plans.

    In the early Warring States period, what were the chances of Wei destroying Qin?

    In fact, it is very difficult to destroy Qin by relying on Wei alone. From the most favorable side, we assume whether Zhao and Korea, who were in the Sanjin Dynasty, were willing to send troops to help.

    The answer, of course, is, I don't want to. Zhao Han and Qin had no direct conflict of interest. And even if he wins the battle and occupies the land of Guanzhong, Wei will not hand it over. Even if you get a little land, it's an enclave of little value.

    Zhao's strategic development focused on the Wei state in the east. From 390 BC to 380 BC, Zhao attacked Wei several times and acquired large amounts of land from Wei.

    The direction of South Korea is also very clear, that is, Zheng. In 375 BC, Korea finally destroyed the Spring and Autumn great power Zheng.

    It can be seen that Zhao and Han were reluctant to form an alliance with Wei, but if Wei asked for it, the Zhao and Han armies might also compromise and form a three-Jin alliance.

    Since Wei's destruction of Qin is analyzed from the most favorable angle, it is assumed that Zhao and Korea sent troops to support Wei.

    At the beginning of the war, let's first take a look at the terrain of Guanzhong and the route of the Wei invasion.

    The invasion and supply routes of the Three Jin coalition forces were nothing more than water and land.

    The waterway went west along the Weishui, but the Weishui flow direction was from west to east, and the Wei army was loaded with grain and grass upstream, which was impossible to achieve. On the other hand, the Qin State counterattacked the Wei State, which was easily loaded with grain and grass. This is the role of geography, and the Qin State has unique geographical conditions for the eastern princes.

    Land became the only option for the Wei army, but the Jin army had to cross the Yellow River, the Luoshui River, and the Shuijing River, which required a large number of ships to support.

    It can also be seen from each of the joint attacks on the Qin State that when the Six Kingdoms attacked the Qin State, they had to go to Guguan by land.

    Wei was the first country to become strong during the Warring States Period, and once suppressed Qin, so if Wei at that time was bent on destroying Qin, would Wei be able to replace Qin to unify the world?

    The answer is no, this is determined by many factors, many people think that the reason why Wei finally fell to the throne of the hegemon, one of the very important factors is that Wei sent troops from all sides, offended the surrounding countries, so that Wei was attacked by a group, so there is a certain amount of truth in this, but the reason why Wei did this is actually a last resort.

    Among the Seven Heroes of the Warring States, Zhao, Wei and Han came separately, and Wei was in the middle of the world, itself was the land of four wars, and one of the very important reasons why Wei sent troops from all sides was that Wei was almost surrounded by several other countries, and almost any country wanted to expand its territory, it could fight Wei, and it was not difficult to understand that Wei was the first to strike.

    During the Warring States Period, it was common for the Wei State to focus on and attack the Qin State, not to mention whether the final result could destroy the Qin State, but this does not mean that other countries will not take the initiative to fight the Wei State, and if the Qin State really can't stand it, it will definitely ask other countries for help and ask for reinforcements. Such examples are not absent, in fact, the famous idiom encircling Wei to save Zhao is the active attack of Qi on Wei in order to rescue Zhao when Wei attacked Zhao, even if Wei focuses on Qin, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no siege of Wei to save Qin, after all, the Warring States is seven major countries, but it is not a heads-up between Wei and Qin, not that Wei only fights Qin, and other countries will not take the initiative to fight Wei, after all, Wei in the middle is easier to attack.

    In addition, Wei could not reuse talents, which was also the reason why it was difficult for Wei to replace Qin and finally dominate the world. In the Warring States Period, a talent can often make a country strong for a while, the relatively weak Yan State almost destroyed the powerful Qi State with Le Yi, and the Qi State when there was Sun Bin, the then powerful Wei State was found everywhere, and even after the Battle of Changping, the Zhao State with Li Mu also made the Qin State return again and again in vain.

    Talent was an important resource during the Warring States Period, and the reason why the Qin State could continue to maintain its strength was that the Qin State attached great importance to and reused talents.

    And in this regard, Wei is much worse, Wu Qi, who is as famous as Sun Wu, is the key figure for Wei to become strong in the early Warring States period, but such a talent Wei can not be used, and finally Wu Qi went to Chu State, and Wu Qi after arriving in Chu State taught Wei State a lesson with his backhand. There are many such examples, such as Fan Ju, who later became the prime minister of Qin, Wei could not retain talents, and talents could not be used, such a country would never be able to dominate the world in the Warring States.

    Can't swallow it? It was Wei who gave up this opportunity himself, ran to annex the Three Jins, and competed with the Qi State for hegemony, and united with the Three Jin Dynasty to chase the Qin State, and the Qin State would have been destroyed long ago.

    At the beginning of the Warring States period, Wei seized the opportunity and obtained a large area of fertile land. At that time, the emperor reused talents through a series of changes, making the national strength of Wei stronger and stronger. However, at that time, the Qin State had a natural protective barrier between the Wei State, so that the Wei State would not occupy a good geographical location when attacking the Qin State.

    Sun Bin, Pang Juan died in two battles. In fact, before the Qi State was defeated by the coalition army, the family was the boss, but the gun shot the first bird, and there was no geographical advantage of Qin (one husband was the key to ten thousand people), and there were many enemies, so it was natural to be killed.

    No matter how strong it is, it will follow the old path of the old club Jinguo, and then come to three points. Through Li Kui's transformation, it is strong, but it is still a sub-sealing system. And Qin is the Shang Dynasty reform, I think the core is the county system to replace the feudal system, this is the prototype of the unification of the Qin Dynasty.

    The greatness of Shang Yang lies in this, which laid the institutional foundation for Qin's unification of the world.

    In 323 BC, the Wei general Gongsun Yan initiated the five kingdoms of Wei, Zhao, Han, Yan, and Zhongshan in order to unite against Qin, but failed. In the Battle of Yique in 293 BCE, Qin's military forces defeated the combined forces of Wei and Korea. After that, the two countries no longer had the strength to challenge the Qin state alone.

    After that, due to the continuous oppression of the Qin state, the situation became more and more severe. At this time, Gongzi Wuji appeared, and in 247 BC he joined forces with the other five kingdoms to meet the invading army of Qin. Gongzi Wuji, also known as Xinling Jun, was one of the four sons of the Warring States Period.

    However, after the war, the King of Wei became suspicious of him, and the Qin people used a long-standing counter-strategy to remove the King of Wei from his important position. So Xinlingjun borrowed wine all day long to drown his sorrows, and died with humiliation. After the death of Xinlingjun, Wei was unable to resist Qin, and the land was slowly invaded by Qin.

    After the accession of Qin Wangzheng to the throne, the pressure on Wei continued to increase. In the end, the Wei state was defeated and destroyed by the Qin general Wang Ben in 225 BC.
