the What if..... Thread!! - Page 7

The offending musketeers would probably have been executed, and the Oda armies numbers slightly reduced, but the Takeda cavalry still would have been decimated and the clan wiped out.

What if Cao Ang and Cao An Min had escaped Wan Castle, instead of dieing there?

Wei would have been a lot stronger! I dont know much about Han Zhong, but Xiahou Yuan was a very ruthless yet cunning general, as well as a fantastic archer. He would have given wei a morale boost intheir big campaigns.


What if Sun Jian only had SSX and not Ce or Quan?

Ling Tong will die, of course. Then, Wu will lose many battle.
What if Lu Bu didn't kill Dong Zhuo?

Then, I don't think the Kingdom of Shu would have ever existed. The reason Shu formed, was because of Zhuge Liang and if he didn't exist, then the Three Oath Brothers and their followers probably would have died early. And that would just suck.

What if Zhou Fang's defection was true? What if Cao Xing successfully attacked Wu's Camp, at Shi Ting?

Erm, what does that mean? I thought Guan Ping was caught at Mai Castle, not Fan Castle. And why not Guan Yu as well?

Hmm...I remember after their defeat at Fan Castle, they retreated to Mai Castle. Wu followed them, captured them, and then executed them.

Well, I doubt different people, getting reinforcements would make such a difference, tbh. Liao Hua and Guan Ping were both loyal to Guan Yu.

But, if Guan Ping did do this, then possibly, he could have been a big help at Yi Ling, and then, once again, he would have helped at Bai Di Castle, and then again, during their last stand, against Wei at Cheng Du. So, he definitely could have an impact on Shu's survival.

What if Wu didn't assist Wei, on their defense against Guan Yu's forces and didn't attack them?

One more thing, Yi Ling would have never happened and then, Shu could have survived, during the later era!!

Hmm...then, I think Liu Bei's campaign on Cheng Du would have failed, because Ma Chao was a key officer, for the forces of Liu Zhang. Or, not...either way, I think Ma Chao wouldn't have a significant impact on Shu, but who knows?

What if Sima Yi never existed and thus, the Jin Dynasty never would have existed?

Just in regards to the earlier question, the battle of Mt Ding Jun might not have happened, because, unless I'm very much mistaken, Ma Chao was the one who suggested taking Han Zhong from Wei.

If Liu Bei, Cao Cao and Sun Jian didn't exist then that would have been a very boring era. The Yellow Turbans might even have eventually won.

What if He Jin was never killed by the Eunuchs?
