    Shu HanAlthough weak, it is not so easy to perish, and do not forgetCao WeiThere is also an enemy, Soochow.

    01, although Shu Han is weak, it is relative. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, it was divided into three kingdoms, these three kingdoms were Cao Wei, Shu Han, and Eastern Wu, and the strength of these three countries was also somewhat different, Cao Wei was the most powerful at that time, followed by Eastern Wu, and finally Shu Han (this criterion isBattle of YilingAfter)。It stands to reason that Shu Han's strength is weak, isn't it very simple for Cao Wei to destroy it?

    There is also a reason why it took so long to destroy Shu Han, the first reason is that although Shu Han is weak, it is only relative.

    Shu Han is indeed weak, but that is relative, and it is not a very disparity gap, and Cao Wei did not crush Shu Han's strength. And Shu Han is not a country of quick death, when Shu Han was on the verge of extinction was after the Battle of Yiling, at that time Shu Han was very weak, but under Zhuge Liang's more than ten years of hard work, Shu Han has recovered its vitality, although it is not as good as Cao Wei, but there is still a war.

    's strength, so after Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition.

    in order to pose a threat to Cao Wei.

    02, Cao Wei's enemy is not one. At the same time, you must know that Cao Wei's enemy is not only Shu Han, although it is strong, it cannot concentrate all its forces to attack Shu Han. From Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition, we can see some things, Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition did not fight alone, he had allies, that is, Eastern Wu.

    Therefore, Cao Wei has always been fighting on two fronts, and if Cao Wei concentrates his forces to attack Shu Han, will Eastern Wu sit idly by?

    Obviously, no, the relationship between Shu Han and Dongwu is that the lips are dead and the teeth are cold, and the Shu Han is dead, will Dongwu be far from extinction? If Dongwu was not stupid, he would not have watched Shu Han perish. Everyone is paying attention to these three countries, in fact, there has always been a threat from foreign races in the Central Plains, and they are all from the north, so Cao Wei sometimes needs to deal with foreign invasions, which is equivalent to fighting on multiple fronts, how can Cao Wei not destroy Shu Han.

    In fact, the final demise of Shu Han was also caused by Dongwu's choice to watch from the sidelines.

    Although Shu Han lost Jingzhou and caused the land area to be very narrow, the army was very strong in combat effectiveness, and there was the advantage of geographical mountains and rivers as an external barrier, not to mention that Zhuge Liang was in power to support the national strength, so that it took nearly fifty years for the Wei State to be destroyed when the Sima family was in power.

    The founding emperor of Shu Han was Liu Bei, the peak period was after the battle of Hanzhong, Liu Bei sat on Jingzhou and Yizhou and also seized the whole territory of Hanzhong, so he called himself "King of Hanzhong", once reached the peak, and later Cao Pi usurped Han, Liu Bei in order to continue the Han Dynasty, called the emperor in Chengdu, the country name "Ji Han", but with the defeat of Guan Yu Maicheng, Jingzhou lost, Yiling was defeated, Shu Han was once greatly injured.

    In the end, Shu Han not only left only a piece of Yizhou land, but also lost the monarch, so the military affairs all fell on Zhuge Liang, Zhuge Liang first went south to capture Meng Shu seven times, so that his tribal people surrendered, so that he obtained the land of Yunnan, and once again expanded the territory for Shu Han, not to mention, but also got Yunnan's resources supplement, such as population, cattle, war horses, food and medicine, etc., so that Shu Han restored national strength has a strong support.

    With the land of Yunnan, the resources of Shu Han can be said to be guaranteed, and tribes come to pay tribute every year. The military defense system of Shu Han was also designed by Zhuge Liang, Zhuge Liang ordered the elite troops of Shu Han "White Ear Soldiers" to be stationed in the White Emperor City, with the Yangtze River moat here, the environment that is easy to defend and difficult to attack is enough to resist the attack of Eastern Wu, and later in his later years, Luo Xian did only use 2,000 soldiers and horses to resist the attack of the Wu army for half a year;

    The northern defense of Shu Han has the geographical environment of Hanzhong, Wei Yan's plan is to use the enemy army as the valley mouth of each valley, and Zhuge Liang built the two cities of Han and Le on this basis to strengthen the defense, and later in the battle of Xingshi, Wang Ping used this environment to block Cao Shuang's 100,000 army, so that it took 20 years for the Sima family to prepare to attack again.

    The elite troops of Shu Han are also all arranged by Zhuge Liang, in addition to the white ear soldiers of Yong'an, there are also five "Wudang Flying Army" arranged from Yunnan, which can not only cross mountains and mountains, but also be good at archery, as well as Zhuge Liang's Zhuge crossbow arranged, "crossbow soldiers", Shendao Army and Hubu Supervision Army, etc.

    No, since it is the Three Kingdoms, it shows that Shu Han is not weak, but there is a big gap compared with Wei, and Wei took so long to destroy Shu Han because the front was very long and there were many wars.

    Chu Han was very powerful in the history of that year, and the reason why it took so many years for Wei to be able to destroy Shu Han was entirely because the other party's strength was relatively strong.

    Ji Han is weak, the real population should be two or three million, and Cao Wei 1:4, and Dongwu 1:2, plus geographical advantages, can not form a crush, and don't forget, a Zhuge rule Shu, the natural conditions are unique.

    The second is the combat gene left by Emperor Zhaolie, and the army is strong in combat. It's just that it's weak in comparison, and compared with any of the Bashu regimes in troubled times in later generations, it's a lot stronger, and it can fight back and forth with the Central Plains, which is really not weak.

    Wei put its energy on Eastern Wu, and there were three times when Cao Zhen encountered natural disasters and heavy rains to destroy Shu, and Shu survived. Once Cao Fangbai gave it, let Shu float, and the last time Zhonghui Deng Ai had no natural disasters and no human disasters, Shu died. It's not that it can't be extinguished, but I don't want to take care of it.

    Hello dear<>

    The answer you're looking for: Possible. Among the Three Kingdoms, Wei was the strongest, Shu and Wu were relatively weak, and it was normal for Wei to destroy Shu.

    Shu must wait for the right time to defeat Wei, and it may also be possible when Wei is in civil strife. During the Three Kingdoms period, it was possible for Shu to destroy Wei, but under the circumstances at that time, this possibility was relatively small. During the Three Kingdoms period, the states of Wei, Shu, and Wu coexisted, and the three states fought with each other for hegemony.

    Although the strength of Shu was relatively strong at that time, the strength of Wei should not be underestimated. In the struggle between Shu and Wei, Shu launched many northern expeditions, but they were all resisted by Wei. At the same time, there were also some problems within Shu, such as Zhuge Liang's difficulty in controlling the army, Liu Bei's waste of talents, etc.

    These problems made it difficult for Shu to destroy Wei during the Three Kingdoms period.

    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.

    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?

    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.
