Foreign wars were repeatedly defeated, and as time went by, extravagance spread to the upper class of Qing Kingdom, and the subsequent kings were all greedy for comfort and did not want to make progress, and their national strength became increasingly weak.

It is precisely because of the weakness of Qing State that Wei Yan, an indestructible military alliance, gradually divided. Because both sides have had a solid foundation after decades of operation, they are not weaker than the early stages. Therefore, if Qing State can fight with one of the countries and consume it, the other country will be happy to see such a situation.

Qing State has Nanyang County, known as the "Grain of the World", which is certainly a blessing for Qing State, but from a certain perspective, it is also a misfortune for Qing State.

Nanyang County is located in the middle of the mainland and borders Nanjun of Fengguo. In this way, Nanyang County is separated by Wei and Yan, and cannot be bounded, which has caused no direct military wars in the history of the four countries in the past hundred years.

The Wei and Yan countries will fight, unless they pass through Nanyang County or through Nanjun of Fengguo.

The southern county of Fengguo has undulating mountains, high mountains and dangerous waters, and dense jungles. Although the Fengguo's national strength is weak, the Fengguo people are extremely difficult to provoke. Wei has always wanted to conquer and seal it, but he still cannot take advantage of it. Therefore, Wei and Yan naturally cannot pass through the Fengguo territory.

Nanyang County, a native of Qing, was even more heavily guarded.

Because of this, Wei and Yan countries were across the county, and there was never a direct war, and the two countries had never given up seizing large granaries such as Nanyang County, Qing State.

In the next few decades, the Qing Kingdom faced invasion from the left and right countries, and even assembled large troops to attack Yan and attack Wei many times. In the end, the national strength was consumed hugely, but it still failed to change the territory of the four countries.

When the national strength of Qing State declined, it was once about to be destroyed by Wei State. Fortunately, God gave Qing State a Shang Zhongli.

After the battle against Wei 16 years ago and repelled the Wei army, what Shang Zhongli left him was a big mess. At this time, the Qing Kingdom was short of troops and weaker, and it was impossible to have the strength to launch a large-scale attack on any Wei and Yan country. He could only train again. Qing Kingdom's military policy also directly changed from external attack to full defense.

Shang Zhongli is worthy of being a famous general. After the Qing State entered defense, its national strength improved. Shang Zhongli could also expand the Qing army, and eventually established the Northeast Army, the Northwest Army and the Zhennan Bian Army.

When the aristocratic families in Yan were in dispute, Shang Zhongli once launched an attack on the Yan State, which had no general, and even conquered cities and occupied a large area of ​​land in Qing State. Yan State also surrendered to the powerful military strength of Shang Zhongli of Qing State.

Unfortunately, Shang Zhongli never thought that it was just like Qing State letting him emerge in the most dangerous time, and Yan State was at its most dangerous time, Xiao Huaiyu, the tiger of the East, also emerged in the most dangerous time, resisting the expansion of Qing State and regaining the lost territory of Yan State.

Since then, the state of Wei has Sima Qingtian, the state of Qing has Shang Zhongli, and the state of Yan has Xiao Huaiyu. The three famous generals have stood together and checked and balanced each other. There has been a situation on the mainland that there has been no war for more than ten years.

There is Sima Qingtian in the west and Xiao Huaiyu in the south. Shang Zhongli knew that the national strength of Qingguo was no longer enough to fight with these two countries, so since he was defeated by Xiao Huaiyu, the national policy began to move into defense, and this national policy has not changed to this day.
