Volume I, Dongyi Tribe 143.The Development of the Three Kingdoms

There is no absolute victory in the war, and every decision of both sides will have a huge impact, and even directly affect the future pattern, one side is fully prepared, one side can only passively accept, even if the heart is unwilling, but also helpless to arrange things in the future, after all, it is useless to dwell on the past, but also to look forward, the missed opportunity will not come back, blame yourself for being too hesitant, speaking of which has not occupied the initiative...

This war can be regarded as the largest war between the three countries in the two major regions of the Eastern Regions and the Central Plains since such a long period of calm, or it may be a long-term peace, the war started abruptly, the momentum is huge, and there is a situation of endless death, but after the actual occurrence, it is really a bit of thunder and rain, although it lasted for nearly a year, but the destructive power caused is still relatively limited, and the three countries are not too broken, not to the point of destruction, and will still return to the pre-war level after recuperation.

As the initiator of the war, the Jiuli tribe firmly occupied the initiative from the beginning to the end, and the other two countries could only passively defend, one was pressed and beaten, they didn't think about counterattacking, but they always felt that the time was not right, and waited, and waited until Chiyou withdrew his troops, and did not decide to take the initiative to counterattack, only hoping that the opponent could march some more, and then design an ambush, but unfortunately Chiyou has been aware of these problems, even if the troops do not move, increase the burden of food and grass, and do not attack easily, to ensure the safety of the troops to the greatest extent, Thus laying the foundation for such a calm retreat.

It can be said that from the beginning to the end of the war, Chiyou never gave up his initiative, and the other two countries can only be adjusted according to his transformation, which is the war exposing the more serious problems of the other two countries, it may be that the long-term peace in the Central Plains has caused these two countries to be in a relatively comfortable state from top to bottom, but I didn't expect the war to come suddenly, I was caught off guard, and I couldn't react, but the war lasted for a year, which can be regarded as a war with a relatively large time span, and I have been thinking about defensive counterattacks in the middle and late stages, but it shouldn't be, After all, this is their home stadium, although the Chiyou army is extremely brave, but when fighting away, they always have to suffer a big loss, and in this case, they have not been able to seize the opportunity to give enough threat. It seems that the problems between the two countries are indeed very big, and this war has been exposed.

It stands to reason that after the initial discomfort, there will always be a time to adjust, and the rapid action of the Chiyou army is only in the initial stage of the war, and it has also slowed down in the middle and late stages, what a good opportunity for the other two countries, but it just didn't seize it, and the other two countries have also poured in a lot of military geniuses, they will not fail to find this problem, the reason why they failed to launch a strong counterattack, it seems that these problems are more serious, or deep-rooted, and they can't be changed by one or two people, so that the enemy can come calmly, Walking calmly, the land of the Central Plains is like his own back garden, and the face of these two countries is gone, which is also another layer of consideration for Chi You's decisive retreat.

In contrast, the gap is indeed very obvious, not to mention their respective dominance, just talking about the military quality of the monarch, the two sides are not on the same starting line, the Jiuli tribe as the lord of the Eastern Regions, the strength is indeed very strong, but the strength of the Jiang Youxiong tribe who has lived in the core area of the Central Plains for a long time is not bad, and even more than that, plus under the premise of being invaded, the two countries cooperate together, share the same hatred, and the strength is much stronger than the Jiuli tribe, but the actual situation is just the opposite, and the other party is defeated and retreated, There is no record of resisting the invaders at all, aside from the initial reaction is not in a hurry, and the stalemate stage of the war after that should not fall behind, but the fact is that the Jiuli tribe can enter if they want to, stop when they want, everything is under control, even if they are stationed in place for several months, they also take the initiative to give up the attack, rather than being forced by the opponent, although the result is similar, but the meaning of this is completely different.

The reason for such a war gap is not at all one or two problems can be explained, there may also be two different regional atmospheres, first look at the Eastern Regions, many years ago to complete the unification of the reputation, but after that, the war has intensified, from the beginning of the Chiyou nine brothers are struggling at the bottom, growing up in the continuous war, establishing a meritorious career, can be regarded as a self-made model, more importantly, they have not been comfortable after the unification of the Eastern Regions, the Eastern Regions are vast and sparsely populated, but the large and small tribes are intricate, Most of them are deep-rooted veteran forces, and Chiyou can gradually stand out in such a complex situation, which shows its rich military literacy, although war is not an effective means to solve problems, but it is also a very practical means, the habit developed in such an environment will naturally become an instinct, and gradually create the now powerful Jiuli tribe, so the strength of the Jiuli tribe is reflected in the military, and it will have Chiyou such a high prestige in the Eastern Regions, and more importantly, he has not settled down, has been peeking at the wealth of the Central Plains, hoping to settle in the Central Plains one day.

On the other hand, the other two countries, the situation is very different, first of all, the Jiang tribe, among the three kingdoms, its strength may be the weakest, and the position is also the worst, because it is in the middle of the Jiuli tribe and the bear tribe, and it is in the plains, there are no mountains and mountains to defend, although there is a ginger water through, but it can only be used as a guard of the capital Jiangcheng, most of the territory in the country is in an embarrassing situation where there is no danger to defend, maybe there is nothing in peacetime, the land is fertile, and the roads are smooth, Trade between the people and the other two countries is also in full swing, and the economic strength is very strong, but the rich wealth will become fat in the eyes of others if it is not supported by strong military strength, and will be watched by opponents.

The Central Plains has indeed been peaceful for too long, thinking that the ancestors of the Jiang tribe have slowly developed from a small tribe to today's status, but the younger generations are obsessed with the achievements of their ancestors, maintain the status quo, and enjoy it, so they ignore the cultivation of the army, in their opinion, the army is a time-consuming and labor-intensive thing, not only needs to pay great material and financial resources, but also does not have much effect, some gains outweigh the losses, from top to bottom are like this, and no ordinary people are willing to go to the hard army, except for some standing guards, such a large tribe, the Jiang tribe, which is the second largest country in the Central Plains in terms of strength, does not have a strong army to protect it, which is indeed a bit unbelievable.

But that's the fact, the Jiang tribe, which has been comfortable for too long, is not prepared for this at all, and they didn't expect that this world is not the only country in this world, and if he doesn't develop, he can only be surpassed by others, and he will be punished by others, and this kind of arrogance will definitely pay a heavy price, so when Chiyou suddenly attacked, the Jiang tribe couldn't react at all, and could only rely on instinctive resistance, and the result can be imagined, not only lost most of the territory, but even the main city was lost, The common people in the city became slaves, and the wealth accumulated over the years made a wedding dress for others, if it were not for the help of the bear tribe, the Jiang tribe was very likely to be removed, this is the weakness behind a seemingly powerful tribe, vulnerable, but finally not defeated, shame and courage, after such a blow, the Jiang tribe finally reacted, and developed rapidly in the new station, full of vitality, but the strength has reached the weaker existence in the Three Kingdoms, and there will not be much to do in a short time.

If the Jiang tribe can wake up as soon as possible, how can there be today's shame, or the monarch has more ambitions with its superior geographical location and strong financial support, then today may be the most powerful existence in the three kingdoms, the Jiuli tribe does not dare to touch it easily, now it is good, it has become a dispensable role, and even a vassal of the bear tribe, a generation of big tribes, the first war is in its original form, which is embarrassing and sighing.

In addition, there is the Bear Tribe, its location is farther away from the Eastern Regions, although there are also areas directly connected, but very early, they arranged a fortress, turning the passage into the biggest obstacle, and if you want to pass through here, you have to pay a great price, so Chi You did not choose this path, but took the easier path of the Jiang tribe.

From this, it can be seen that there is the understanding of the bear tribe, which is not comparable to the Jiang tribe at all, strong and not comfortable, always has a sense of crisis, and has been guarding against the other party's attack since the gradual unification of the Eastern Regions, in fact, they guessed correctly, the Eastern Regions are really ambitious, this may not only be a sense of crisis, vigilance, but more importantly, this is a country's necessary ordinary posture.

The rich products of the Central Plains coupled with strong security have ensured that it can develop steadily for so many years, gradually expanding, not only with strong wealth, but also with the ability to protect themselves, so the bear tribe can suffer the least loss in this war and retreat.

In these three countries, the Jiuli tribe is in the Eastern Regions, the land is barren, so the economic strength is relatively poor, and the life of the common people is relatively hard, but its military strength is the strongest, and the soldiers' combat experience is very rich in the way of war and warfare, and it can be said that it has the most powerful army on the mainland, while the Jiang tribe is just the opposite, the economic strength is the strongest, but it ignores the training of the army, the military strength is the weakest, the common people are addicted to life, lack of exercise, the shortcomings and advantages of these two countries are equally obvious.

It's not the same with the bear tribe, the economy and military are developing simultaneously, although it is not the strongest, but it is not weak, so on the whole, the bear tribe is the strongest country.
