He led the water army from Badong to the east of the Yangtze River, and together with En's army in Jingzhou occupied Yanzhou (now Xiling Gorge of the Yangtze River, near Zhijiang, Hubei Province) and other upstream Chen Jun defense lines. Chen Jun, who was aided by the public security to the east, was marching and was also blocked in Hankou, which created favorable conditions for Sui Jun in the lower reaches. The main force in the lower reaches took advantage of the opportunity of the Chen Dynasty to celebrate the Yuan Festival (that is, the Spring Festival) to cross the river. On the way to March, Han Qinhu and He Ruobi, the two armies, attacked Jiankang, and Yuwen Shu army surrounded Jiankang.
In February of the 9th year (589), Sui Jun invaded Jiankang, captured Chen Houzhu and died. In September of A.D. 10 (590), Wei Yun, the envoy of Sui Dynasty, and others pacified Lingnan. Mrs. Xian led the crowd to welcome the Sui envoy, and the Lingnan States passed through Sui, and the Sui Dynasty completed national reunification.
The battle to destroy Chen in Sui Dynasty was a unified war at the end of Northern and Southern Dynasties. After the death of Emperor Xuandi in the Northern Zhou Dynasty in 580, Emperor Wendi, the powerful minister, abolished the Jingdi in the Northern Zhou Dynasty and established the Sui Dynasty, namely Emperor Wendi. After pacifying the internal affairs, solving the foreign invasion of the northern Turks and annexing Xiliang, from December of the eighth year of Emperor Kai of Sui Dynasty (588) to February of the following year, Emperor Wendi of Sui ordered the King of Jin to command more than 500,000 land and water troops in the Sui unification war, so as to destroy the large-scale river-crossing operation of Chen Dynasty in the south of the Yangtze River.
This battle forced him to surrender, and Chen died. And has recruited three Wu, Lingnan and other regions. Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty completed reunification and successfully ended the turbulent period of Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties for nearly 400 years.
Historical significance
Only two months later, the Sui Dynasty's battle to destroy Chen destroyed Nanchen Yiju, which had been established for more than 30 years, and took over the land of Chen Dynasty, including 30 counties 100 counties and 400 counties, as well as the people and wealth in this land. At this point, it ended the situation that ancient China had been divided for more than 270 years since the Sixteen Countries of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and reunified the land of China under the central government, which was a great contribution of the Sui Dynasty to the historical development of China.
In addition, the Sui Dynasty also transported Chen Houzhu, civil and military officials, aristocratic children, acrobatics, costumes, pictures, utensils, etc. to Daxing City (now Xi City, Shaanxi Province), the capital of the Sui Dynasty, and the transportation ranks reached 500 miles. China's orthodox cultural relics, which have been preserved in Jiangnan for more than 200 years, have since returned to the north.
War assessment
There are many reasons for the demise of the Chen dynasty, but the most basic ones are nothing more than three aspects:
The corruption of Chen's ruling clique, striving for power and profit, offset the ability to resist foreign attacks. Chen Houzhu indulged in debauchery and debauchery to the point where he almost ignored the affairs of state. North Korea's power is in the hands of general managers Jiang, Shen Keqing, Kong Fan and others. These people are committed to flattering selfish goals, fighting for power and profit, and refusing loyalty.
In this way, the ruling group headed by Chen Houzhu has been in a coma. When Sui Jun was besieged, Chen Houzhu also celebrated New Year's Day with Manchu civil servants. When the defenders of Jingkou were attacked by Sui Jun and rushed to Chen Houzhu, Chen Houzhu ignored them and went on drinking and having fun. General Xiao Mohe asked to lead the army to battle, but the latter refused. He is so stupid that he is doomed to fail.
In the face of the attack, although Chen was strategically in a passive defensive position, when the two sides finally fought, the total strength of the Sui army crossing the river was still less than 60,000, and at this time Chen claimed to be 65.438+10,000. If Chen Can is properly deployed and dispatched, it is another matter to fight to the death. However, Chen Chao repeatedly made mistakes in strategic guidance and missed the fighter plane.
When Sui and Ruobi only led 8,000 foot soldiers to attack Jingkou, he was alone. If Chen Houzhu follows General Xiao Mohe's advice and leads the army to storm, He Rebi's department will inevitably run away; When Sui Jun initially formed a siege of Jiankang, Chen Houzhu refused the suggestions of general Ren Zhong, Sima Xiaonan and others to break the enemy's retreat, and insisted on refusing to fight.
When it was decided to fight the last battle with Sui Jun, Chen Houzhu arranged his troops in a straight line for more than 20 miles without appointing a general. The two armies are not subordinate to each other, and they don't know each other in advance and retreat. Finally, Sui Jun separated them one by one and turned his superior army into a defeated army.
Before Emperor Wen decided to destroy Chen, he secretly consulted with some trusted ministers and made many plans, so that Chen often fell into a trap and became a "doll" in his hand. The minister put forward various strategies to destroy Chen's agricultural production, and sent spies to Jiangnan many times to burn Chen's grain reserves and harvest Chen's crops, which played an inestimable role in the war against Chen.
Chen Cui's plan to destroy Chen was divided into two strategic directions: the upper and middle reaches and the lower reaches, which made Chen in an extremely passive position from the beginning of the war, which was not conducive to the rescue of the capital in the middle and upper reaches of the river, nor to the capital sending troops to reinforce the upper and middle reaches. General He Ruobi successfully created Chen's dreamland by practicing hunting along the river, which is even more amazing. However, Chen Jun didn't understand the basic common sense of "all is fair in war" and was cheated again and again, so it was natural that he was defeated and destroyed.
This campaign is the second large-scale crossing of the river in the history of China War after the destruction of Wu by Jin. Although the water army in the Sui Dynasty was not as large as "Wang Jun took a towering boat to Yizhou" when the Western Jin Dynasty wiped out Wu, it also played a strategic role of containment and cooperation. No.8 army, No.3 is a water army, andNo. 1 is an amphibious force.

Yan Rong's water army made a long-range strategic detour, covered the southeast flank of the main force, and surrounded Chen Dou. The left servant shot Gao Ying and led the water army to land in the Chen Dynasty water army guarding the capital. In a word, several naval forces have contributed to the victory of the final decisive battle with outstanding actions.
