陈宣帝太建北伐述论

陈氏太建北伐,系东晋南朝北伐史上的绝响之作。陈宣帝太建北伐的政治策略,是联周击齐;战争进程是先取江淮,而后强争黄淮交战于周。就南北对峙军事要地与江左国土安全关系论,太建北伐是内含战略防御与战略进攻的双重底蕴的。但陈氏起于南朝末造,经济武备均不及北朝,陈宣帝不能审此而失之烛远,穷兵远略将不可避免最终的失败。太建北伐始胜于周齐交争之隙,终败于北周统一北方之际,要在“合纵图齐”政略选择的失误;太建北伐最终归于失败,要在不仅折兵阃外再失淮泗,而影响亦及于南北统一的历史进程。

On the northern expedition during Taijian Reign(AD 569-582) by Emperor Xuan of Chen Dynasty

The last northern expedition in East Jin and the South dynasties took place during Taijian Reign when Emperor Xuan of Chen Dynasty was in power.With a political strategy of allying with North Zhou while attacking North Qi,he firstly dominated the region between the Yangtze River and the Huaihe River,then fought at Zhou to get the land between the Huanghe River and the Huaihe River.In terms of the relation between occupying the military points at the confrontation between the North and the South dynasties and the security of the land south of the Yangtze River,this expedition had both the aims of strategic defence and offensive.Founded at the end of the South Dynasty,Chen Dynasty was inferior to the North Dynasty at both economics and armaments,however,the short-sighted Emperor Xuan didn't realize the situation,which inevitably led to the final failure of the expedition.Owing to the faulty choice of the strategy"allying with North Zhou while attacking North Qi",the northern expedition failed when the North Zhou was unifying the whole North side though it did win several battles when North Zhou and North Qi was in war.The failure of the expedition not only made Chen Dynasty lose its armies abroad and the region between the Huaihe River and the Sishui River,but also influenced the historical progress of the unification between the North and the South sides.
