In the chaotic era, the most critical factors are not temporary prosperity, but two points:

1/ Do you have a stronghold that is easy to defend and hard to attack?

2/ Do you have enough capacity for internal circulation and self-sufficiency?

You can see the different fates of Jin, Chu, Qi, and Qin.

The key is whether you can afford to lose; when you lose, will you lose your pants?

The State of Jin lost once, leading to the division of Jin among three families. Although Zhao and Wei remained strong, they shifted from first-tier to second-tier.

The State of Qi would be attacked and have its territory plundered every time it lost.

The State of Chu was better off, with strong power.

But it was still not as good as Qin, which would only lose up to the Hangu Pass; after closing the gates, the Guanzhong and Sichuan Basin maintained good internal circulation.

Thus, in the end, it was a struggle for supremacy between Qin and Chu.
