The Three Kingdoms are a pot of porridge, why is there no foreign invasion? Look who's guarding the frontier
After 220 AD, the rule of the Han Dynasty began to disintegrate, and the political power was divided, resulting in a chaotic situation of various forces. And in this chaotic period, in addition to the three foreign countries of Wei, Shu, and Wu, many other forces also emerged, known as the division of the heroes. These powerful forces, each with their own evil intentions and high ambitions, are either local tycoons or military leaders, vying for power and territory.
In 202 B.C., Liu Bang established the capital in Chang'an, and the Western Han Dynasty was established since then, depicting a glorious historical picture. The Han Dynasty was a vast territory, encompassing the most prosperous region in the world at the time. During the period of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty, the policy of rest and recuperation was implemented, and the country gradually recovered, and the period of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty created the first era of the Han Dynasty.
However, like the reincarnation of history, the Western Han Dynasty ushered in the appearance of Wang Mang at its peak, and he abolished the Han Confucianism, shook the foundation of the Han Dynasty, and marked the end of the Western Han Dynasty. With the fall of the Han Dynasty, the Eastern Han Dynasty rose under the leadership of Liu Xiu. The rule of Guangwu Zhongxing and Ming Zhang pushed the Han Dynasty to a new heyday. Although the Eastern Han Dynasty was influenced by Wang Mang when it was first established, it gradually prospered through the governance of wise emperors.
However, the warlord turmoil of 190 AD plunged the Han dynasty into turmoil once again. Cao Cao rose and set the capital Luoyang, and the light of the Eastern Han Dynasty gradually dimmed. The fate of dynasties is like the stars in the sky, and the stars reflect each other and twinkle at different moments. At this moment, the fall of the Han Dynasty also became a part of history, laying the foundation for the later establishment of the Wei, Shu and Wu Kingdoms. In this long history, the rise and fall of the Han Dynasty planted deep seeds of civilization for later eras, allowing us to inherit the name of the Han people and inherit the civilization of this once glorious dynasty.
The world was in turmoil, and the people suffered from the flames of war. In 208 AD, the Battle of Chibi broke out, Sun and Liu joined forces to defeat Cao Cao, and the situation of the Three Kingdoms took shape. Cao Pi forced the Han Emperor to concede, and the Wei State was born in Luoyang; Liu Bei made the capital Chengdu and established the Shu State; Sun Quan was called the emperor, the capital of the country was built Ye, and the state of Wu was also established. The era of the Three Kingdoms has begun, and a magnificent historical scroll will be deduced.
However, the three countries are not a stable and peaceful situation. Cao Cao's Wei state gradually became stronger, and Sima Yi's succession to the throne established the dominance of Wei. He successively destroyed Shu and swallowed Wu, completing the unification of the entire world. In 280 AD, the Jin Dynasty was formally established, ending the Three Kingdoms period.
In these troubled times, there are other forces lurking behind history. Although the Xiongnu, Wuhuan, Xianbei, Qiang, Shanyue, and Nanban did not directly attack the Three Kingdoms after the fall of the Han Dynasty, their existence brought more variables to the situation. Perhaps they saw the three kingdoms fighting each other, or they were secretly watching behind their backs, waiting for the right moment.
In that troubled era, although the Six Forces were in a difficult situation, they failed to attack the Three Kingdoms for many reasons. First, they are faced with a sparse population. Several tribes in this land, for their own historical reasons, have relatively small populations. This prevents each clan from growing rapidly and becoming a powerful force.
Secondly, the lack of equipment has also become a limiting factor for the six departments. Military strength was crucial in troubled times, and the tribes at that time did not conduct in-depth research and development of advanced equipment. In contrast, the Three Kingdoms of Wei, Shu and Wu were more powerful in terms of armaments, which put the Six Divisions at a significant disadvantage in terms of armed confrontation.
The lack of food is also one of the reasons why the six ministries did not dare to act rashly. At that time, the plains and fertile areas had been occupied by the Wei, Shu and Wu kingdoms, and the six forces were struggling with their own food and clothing. In such a situation, it is difficult for them to have the spare strength to take the initiative, let alone fight against three powerful countries.
Finally, the disunity among the six ministries is also the key to restraining them. Although all six ministries faced similar dilemmas, internal contradictions and short-sighted struggles prevented them from forming a united front. This internal ** caused them to be unable to form a joint force, let alone unite against the three countries.
In this troubled era, the unity and strength of the three kingdoms of Wei, Shu and Wu formed a great threat to the six tribes. The Six Forces may be eager to change their fate, but all kinds of difficulties and restrictions have forced them to struggle in the abyss, waiting for the time to come. At the same time, the hegemony of the Three Kingdoms of Wei, Shu and Wu also gradually rose in this chaotic land.
Liubu, who was once a heroic teacher on the earth, gradually drifted away in the war of the Three Kingdoms, and was finally destroyed by the Three Kingdoms. Among them, the Xiongnu and Wuhuan, two once arrogant warrior clans, were reduced to ashes under Cao Cao's iron hooves. Cao Cao had always been disgusted with the Xiongnu and was enraged by their constant incursions, so he was determined to eradicate this scourge in the south. Cao Cao led his troops to ** the Xiongnu, the main core force of Sinicization, and finally destroyed it. The conquest of Wuhuan was Cao Cao's attempt to completely eliminate his worries and ensure the tranquility of Wei. The demise of the two ethnic groups has become a tragic song in the long river of history.
The Xianbei tribe, on the other hand, succumbed to Cao Cao's powerful forces. Cao Cao did not make a big move, but successfully recovered Xianbei and consolidated his position by surrendering. This process also reveals the devouring and integration of the tribes by powerful forces.
Liu Bei's army pounced on the barbarians and Qiang. Liu Bei has been adopting the strategy of recruiting An, laying out for seven years, and finally unified Western Shu through military means. The barbarians and the Qiang, the former freedom fighters, could not escape the fate of unification after all.
Shanyue once stood between the mountains and rivers, but he bowed his head and surrendered under Sun Quan's hands. Sun Quan chose the strategy of knocking on the mountains and shaking the tigers, and through long-term infiltration and influence, most of the Shanyue people migrated to the plains and became tenants. With the passage of time, Shanyue gradually faded out of the stage of history and turned into dust.
The six parts, the former beacon heroes, were finally extinguished in the sandwich of the Three Kingdoms, and became passers-by in the long river of history. Their demise is the inevitability of the changes of the times, and it is also a tragic and helpless dialogue between powerful forces and weak tribes.
In that legendary period of the Three Kingdoms, like bright fireworks, the three countries fought against each other and united internally, composing a historical epic that swallowed mountains and rivers. However, this splendid historical time cannot escape the laws of history after all, and the old things will gradually disappear with the passage of time.
The six tribes did not dare to challenge the strength of the Three Kingdoms, because they knew that facing a powerful force was tantamount to killing themselves. The Three Kingdoms, on the other hand, wiped out the Six Ministries on a strong basis and unified this chaotic land under the rule of the Three Kingdoms. This is undoubtedly the inevitable result of the balance of forces, and the strong will always defeat the weak, which is the iron law of history.
The lesson of this period of history for us is clear and profound: in the face of a complex and ever-changing world, we should strive to strengthen ourselves and improve our capabilities. If you have great power, the world will take a kinder gesture towards you. This is the lesson of history, and it is the wisdom that we need to remember in our current era. At the end of the dazzling fireworks, we should learn from the wisdom of history, add a more solid foundation for our own growth, and welcome a more glorious chapter in the future.
