When it comes to the Three Kingdoms era, we always think of the sentence "The general trend of the world, if you divide for a long time, you will be together, and if you are united for a long time, you will be divided". In that turbulent era, Shu Han and Eastern Wu each had a vast territory. Today, let's compare the territory of Shu and Eastern Wu to see how big these two countries were.
Within the reach of the Shu Han Dynasty, it reached Wudu and Hanzhong in the north, Wuxia in the east, Baoyun and Gui in the south, and eastern Myanmar in the west. It is slightly the whole province of Yunnan, most of Sichuan and Guizhou provinces, the southern part of Shaanxi, Gansu, the northwest of Guangxi, the northeast of Myanmar, and the northwest of Vietnam.
Soochow has a total of four states, namely Yangzhou, Jingzhou, Guangzhou, and Jiaozhou. Sun Wu's territory stretched from Lujiang County (present-day central Jiangsu) to Rinan County in the south, to present-day central Vietnam in the south, to Jiaozhi County (eastern Guangxi) in the west, and to the East China Sea in the east, encompassing the entire area of present-day Zhejiang, Fujian, Jiangxi, Guangdong, and Hunan provinces in China, as well as Jiangsu, Guangxi, Anhui, Hubei, and Shanghai, as well as the northern part of present-day Vietnam.
Judging from the map, the territory of Soochow is broader.

In the twentieth year of Jian'an (215), Sun Quan sent Lü Meng to attack Changsha, Lingling, and Guiyang three counties, and then Liu Bei and Sun Quan divided Jingzhou into Xiangshui boundary, and Jiangxia, Changsha, and Guiyang belonged to Eastern Wu, and Nanjun, Wuling, and Lingling belonged to Liu Bei, so far, Liu Bei occupied the three counties of Jingzhou. However, in the twenty-fourth year of Jian'an (219), Lü Meng attacked Guan Yu and killed Guan Yu, so far, Jingzhou was completely lost.
Shu Han and Eastern Wu, the two have their own merits in terms of territory. Shu Han is based in Sichuan and Shu, radiating clouds and gui, and the east is based on the land of Jiangdong, sweeping the south of the Yangtze River. Although both had a glorious time, they still did not escape the vicissitudes of history in the end.
