Wei was one of the vassal states of the Zhou Dynasty. How did it become the strongest country in the early Warring States period?

We all know that the State of Jin in the Spring and Autumn Period was the most powerful country in the world. Due to the rise of scholar-officials, the three countries finally carved up the state of Jin. Wei carved up most of the territory of Jin by its own strength. At this time, Korea, Zhao and Wei were not as good as the former State of Jin, but in the end, Wei Wenhou of Wei implemented political reform, making Wei the most powerful country in the early Warring States, and even moved the capital to Qin.

In the early Warring States period, Wei Wenhou first carried out political reform, reformed politics, rewarded farming, built water conservancy projects, developed feudal economy, and finally destroyed Zhongshan in the north. Taking the land of the Qinhe River to the west, Qin was defeated and fought many times, and became the most powerful country in the early Warring States period. In particular, during the Hou Wen period, Wuqi was put into use, the military pawn system was adopted, elite soldiers were trained, and a highly specialized military force was established, which played an important role in the early prosperity of Wei. Politically, Wei Wenhou appointed Li Kui, Wuqi, Yang Le, Ximen Bao, Huang Zhai, Cheng Wei and others to enrich Qiang Bing, suppress Zhao, destroy Zhongshan, and defeat Qin, Qi and Chu in a row, opening up a large territory and making Wei the overlord of the Central Plains.

During the Warring States period, Wei carried out military reform earlier. Established a standing army with elite soldiers as the core. Wei Jun has a distinct internal hierarchy and a clear division of labor. Moreover, the number is huge, and with this army, Wei finally established a vast country, which made the governors of the world feel frightened and the military strength was powerful. Therefore, Su Qin language: Wei Nai is a powerful country in the world.
