He used to be a secretary and an oil depot official, but he likes to read Sun Tzu's Art of War, and he is brave and resourceful, which is appreciated by Master Liang and Hou Xiaoying, the magistrate of Xing Wu. Xiao Ying moved to Guangzhou (now Guangzhou, Guangdong Province) and appointed Chen Baxian as his chief of staff. At the end of the Liang Dynasty, Chen Baxian was gradually promoted to the position of Governor of Xijiang River, Governor of Gaoyao County (now Zhaoqing City, Guangdong Province) and Military Order of Seven Counties.

He got the support of Mrs. Xian, the lingnan slang female leader, and joined Hou Andu and others in Shixing County (now Shaoguan City, Guangdong Province), and his influence gradually increased. He continued to go north along the Ganjiang River and defeated Jiangzhou (now a genus) all the way
In the second year of Dabao (AD 55 1), Chen Baxian led 30,000 soldiers and 2,000 ships, joined forces with the monk Wang of Xiao Yi Department in Kancheng (now Jiujiang City, Jiangxi Province), and made an alliance on the altar, vowing to discuss Hou Jing. After Hou Jing's downfall, Chen Baxian was appointed as Sikong by Emperor Xiao Yi of Liang Yuan, the secretariat of South Xuzhou, Jingkou Town (now Zhenjiang City, Jiangsu Province).
In November of the third year of his holiness (AD 554), Jiangling was captured by the Western Wei Dynasty and Emperor Liang Yuan was killed.

At the beginning of the following year, Beiqi army attacked the north bank of the Yangtze River, escorted Liang Wudi's nephew Xiao Yuanming to inherit the throne, and tried to establish Beiqi puppet regime in Jiankang. In July of the same year, Wang Sengbian took Xiao Yuanming back from Jiankang, regarded him as the emperor, and named Xiao as the Crown Prince, after which his Ministry failed to stop Pei Zhi. In September, Chen Baxian, with the support of Hou Andu, attacked Jiankang, killed Wang Sengbian, abolished Xiao Yuanming, made Xiao the throne, and changed the number of stations. Chen Baxian was appointed official minister, commander-in-chief of Chinese and foreign military affairs, and Xu Erzhou, the secretariat of Yang Nan.
After attacking and killing Wang Sengbian and controlling Jiankang, the former headquarters of Wang Sengbian rose up against Zhang Biao and Wei Zai according to Yixing (now Yixing, Jiangsu). Chen Baxian led his troops to attack Wei Zai, while Xu Sihui, Ren Yue and Wang Sengbian led the Northern Qi Army to attack Jiankang in Jiangbei. Li defeated the Beiqi army, and Du Kan and Zhang Biao were also killed. In March of the first year of Taiping (A.D. 556), Xiao Gui, a general of the Northern Qi Dynasty, led 65,438+10,000 troops across the river to attack Jiankang again.

When the Chen Dynasty was established, the Northern Zhou Dynasty had already taken advantage of the chaos at the end of the Liang Dynasty. According to the present Sichuan and Hubei provinces, Beiqi also took the opportunity to expand its territory to the north bank of the Yangtze River. In its heyday, the ruling area of the Chen Dynasty was only equivalent to that of the Three Kingdoms Wu, and it lost all the land north of the Yangtze River. The defense against the northern regime is not as good as that of Sun Wu. It was only because the Northern Zhou Dynasty and the Northern Qi Dynasty confronted and contained each other in the north that the Chen Dynasty was able to protect Jiangnan for a long time. The Chen Dynasty was the weakest of the four regimes in the Southern Dynasties.
Although he established the Chen dynasty, they failed to rule the whole Jiangnan area. After the fall of Jiangling, Wang Lin, a subordinate of the former emperor Liang Yuan, was promoted as an ally by Liang Upstream, and surrendered to Xiao, a vassal of Northern Qi, Western Wei (Northern Zhou) and Northern Zhou. When he was killed, Emperor Wang Sengbian and Wang Lin refused to accept Shi Zhonghe's appointment, assembled troops and prepared to attack Jiankang.
