字兴国，汉族，南朝陈吴兴下若里（今浙江省长兴县）人，卓越的军事家、政治家。初仕梁，曾辅佐王僧辩讨平侯景之乱。天成元年（公元555），杀僧辩，立敬帝，自为相国，封陈王。败北齐，排僧辩馀党，受百姓所拥戴，后受禅称帝，国号陈，都建康，在位三年，谥武皇帝，庙号高祖。
陈霸先是南北朝时期陈朝的开国皇帝，志度弘远，恭俭勤劳。中国众多的封建皇帝，贤明君主不多，陈霸先却属于其中的一代英主。
家世渊源
陈霸先的远祖是东汉晚期太丘县的县令陈寔，世居颍川许县（今河南许昌东）。陈霸先的十世祖名叫陈达，西晋永嘉年间，陈达避乱，随西晋王室渡江南迁。陈达出任为长城（长兴古县名）令，就在当地定居下来。陈达选择长兴作为定居地时，曾有过预言：“此地山川秀丽，当有王者兴焉，二百年后，我子孙必钟斯运。”到陈达之后的第十代，果然出了个陈霸先。
陈霸先青少年时打鱼练武，兴趣广泛。古代正史对他青少年时有这样的评价：倜傥大度，志度弘远，不理家产，“明达果断，为当时所推服，”又称陈霸先“及长，涉猎史籍，好读兵书，明纬候、孤虚、遁甲之术，多武艺。”到陈霸先时，陈达在长兴的子孙经过十世繁衍，已蔚然成为人数众多的大家族，但南北朝门阀制度盛行，长兴的陈家，仍属寒门。
生平事略
陈霸先因出身寒门，起先担任过里司、油库库吏，不久，担任了新喻侯萧映（梁武帝侄子）侯府的传令吏。由于受到萧映器重，萧映任广州刺史，授陈霸先为中直兵参军，不久出任西江督护，高要太守。梁大同十年（544年），广州爆发兵乱，萧映被围。陈霸先率三千精兵，一战解围，受到梁武帝瞩目。
梁大同十一年，陈霸先受任为交州司马，兼武平（在今越南永安附近）太守，前往交州讨伐地方分离势力。交州平定，已是梁太清二年（548）。梁朝首都被侯景围困，梁武帝饿死，萧纲被扶为傀儡皇帝。
陈霸先得知都城被围，立即准备赴援，但从广州到建康，大大小小的地方藩镇势力或勾结侯景，或拥兵自重，层层设阻，处处为难。陈霸先以国家大局为重，与这些藩镇势力展开了顽强的斗争。太清三年底，陈霸先遣使往江陵，投到湘东王萧绎（508～554）门下，取得了北伐的合法权。在战胜各种地方割据势力后，陈霸先大军于大宝二年（551）六月发兵南康，沿赣江北下。
大宝二年十月，侯景残杀梁简文帝萧纲，十一月自立为皇帝。大宝三年正月，陈霸先南路征讨大军从豫章（今江西南昌）出发，这时已有甲士三万人。陈霸先与西路都督王僧辩会师后，三月，在建康与侯景展开了大决战，终于彻底摧毁了侯景势力。萧绎就在江陵称帝，即历史上的梁元帝。陈霸先奉命镇守在京口（今江苏镇江），王僧辩镇守在建康。
梁承圣三年（554）九月，西魏发兵突袭江陵，王僧辩未及时救援，梁元帝被杀。陈霸先与王僧辩反复商议，迎梁元帝第九子萧方智（543～558）至建康，准备称帝。
承圣四年，北齐乘梁国多次遭遇兵祸之机，派兵南向，护送贞阳侯萧渊明来登梁国帝位，企图培植傀儡皇帝。王僧辩屈从北齐压力，于七月迎萧渊明到建康称帝。
陈霸先出于国家民族利益，九月，在京口举兵，除去王僧辩，把萧渊明赶下台，萧方智登基称帝。陈霸先任大都督，总摄梁朝军国大事，分别于绍泰元年（555）底和太平元年（556）六月，先后击溃北齐两支武装力量的大规模进犯。
陈霸先有志于祖国统一大业，平定侯景之乱后，曾亲自领兵三下广陵，以图收复失地。陈霸先于太平二年（557）禅梁称帝，实际上受命于危难之际，既是民情所需，也是时局所迫。陈霸先生逢乱世，尽管身经百战，收拾的却是百废待兴的江山，在位三年，任贤使能，政治清明，江南局势渐趋稳定。公元559年6月，陈霸先病逝。
从村官到皇帝
雄姿英发的陈霸先这是载于史册中的一则故事。故事的主人公叫做陈霸先。他以及他所在的六朝中最后一朝——陈朝，因为只有33年的历史和半壁江山的版图，让世人一直误解甚至是无知，人们更多记得的是他的后代——陈后主以及荒唐的胭脂井。这无疑也加深了人们对陈朝国家积贫积弱、皇帝荒淫无用的印象。不过，现已83岁高龄的中国当代著名史学家、“六朝史研究会”奠基人、南京大学教授卞孝萱却是有着不同看法的：“陈霸先是南朝难得的英主。他从一个村官成长为将军，又由将军黄袍加身，承担下了一片支离破碎的江山。可以说他和他所建立起来的陈朝虽然短暂却非常重要，而陈霸先本人堪称南朝的第一英主。”卞孝萱这样认为。陈霸先的家乡在今天的浙江湖州长兴县。根据史料记载，陈氏虽是当地的大户，但是在门第之见很深的南朝，陈家也只能算作寒门而已。但正是这样的寒门内，却出了个未来的英主陈霸先。《陈书》中称陈霸先“读兵书，多武艺”，而《南史》中更是记载他：“涉猎史籍，好读兵书，明纬候、孤虚、遁甲之术，多武艺。”在当时，能够读史籍、兵书，又多武艺的人可称得上是文武全才了。“从村官到皇帝”这就是卞孝萱对陈霸先政治道路的评价。最初，陈霸先只是乡间小吏。而后，怀着满腔报国之志的他，来到梁都建康（今南京）做一个看守油库的小吏，在得到梁朝贵族的赏识后，平步青云，并因在广东一带平叛有功而声名鹊起。最终，成就陈霸先帝业的是那场著名的“侯景之乱”。通过平定“侯景之乱”，功高一世的陈霸先渐渐控制了梁朝的政权，并于太平二年（557年）废梁称帝。
难挽狂澜的陈朝
其实陈霸先并不是在四方平定、八面颂歌的时候改朝称帝的，当时整个南方政权都身处危难之中。梁朝几代皇帝都无善终：梁武帝是饿死的，简文帝是被土壤压在头上闷死的，元帝在投降后受尽侮辱被土壤闷死，还有萧正德、萧栋、萧纪、萧渊明等，都贵为王侯，下场却都很悲惨。但是这绝不是死了几个人的事，王朝的兴废、政局的动荡让曾经富庶的江南生灵涂炭。而这个时候，如果没有一个强势的皇帝，那自东晋以来的南方汉族文化就会遭到严重的破坏。于是，历史选择了陈霸先，他受命于危难之际，攘臂于无望之时。陈朝立国，正值侯景之乱不久，连续数年的战乱对南方的经济、文化造成了严重的破坏。陈朝的几位君主一边平定大大小小的地方割据，一边医治战争创伤，南方的经济、文化逐渐得到了恢复。本文开头部分，就是发生在公元550－557年间，陈霸先平定大小内乱、抵御外辱的某一个战役。陈霸先打下基础后，继承人陈文帝励精图治，国势逐渐强盛起来；陈宣帝为了实现陈霸先的统一遗愿，兴兵北伐，战败北齐，拥有了淮南之地，这是陈朝鼎盛时期。后因陈后主溺于文酒，不图进取，江山最后让给了隋朝。
赫赫战功
陈霸先出生在梁武帝登基的第二年，即梁天监二年，那时候，中国正处在分裂时期，南北对峙，内外战乱不断，频繁的战乱对社会经济、文化造成了巨大的破坏，严重影响了生产力的发展，百姓十分贫困。梁武帝登基后，国内基本无大的战事，但几次北伐失利，又加重了人民的负担。梁武帝虽然勤政好学，才艺超群，算得上一个大学者，在政治上却犯下了一些致命的失误：首先是“特佞佛”，光京城建康就建有佛寺五百多所，供养僧尼十多万人]，底层百姓不堪重负，一个是斧正人间的皇帝身份，一个是普度众生的教主角色，梁武帝兼而有之，首鼠两端，优柔寡断，政治上渐渐走向下坡路；其次是优容官吏，弛刑宽政，对鱼肉百姓的官僚阶层持放纵的态度，动摇了治国根本；第三是庇护子弟，子弟中哪怕行为荒唐乖张到极点，梁武帝仍不忍诛戮，结果在身边伏下了隐患。
这三大失误挡住了梁武帝的视野，即忽视了国计民生。陈霸先就生活在这样一个时代。陈霸先从库吏改任萧映侯府传教后，终于有机会接触到社会的上层人物了。萧映是梁武帝侄子，历任吴兴太守、北徐州（州治在安徽凤阳东）刺史、给事黄门侍郎、卫尉卿等职，陈霸先应一直在萧映府中任幕僚。大约在梁大同六年（540），萧映到广州任刺史，陈霸先随任为广州府中直兵参军，不久又出任西江督护、高要太守。第二年，交州（治在今越南河内市东北约三十公里处）土豪李贲发起叛乱，赶跑了交州刺史萧咨。大同八年春，梁武帝遣将讨伐，林邑国（今越南南越）国王也从腹背袭击李贲。大同九年四月，李贲部将范修在九德（今越南荣市）大破林邑王，梁征讨诸军也不知所终。李贲控制了整个北越，就在梁大同十年正月仿梁朝制度，设置百官，自称越帝。梁武帝又命新州（治在今广东新兴）刺史卢子雄、高州（治在今广东阳江旁）刺史孙冏火速出兵，并受坐镇广州的萧映和萧咨节制。当时南方正是春暖草长、瘴疠肆虐的季节，卢、孙二将请求待秋凉后发兵，但二萧不允，催命出征。卢、孙二将只好领着将士匆匆上路。才行到合浦，果然疫气发作，死者达六七成，趁机溜掉的也不少，一支征讨大军不战而溃。梁武帝接到萧咨密报，误以为卢、孙二将交通李贲，故意逗留不进，敕令在广州赐死。这事激起了卢子雄部下旧将周文育、杜僧明等人的不平，于当年五月发动哗变，叛兵包围了广州城，准备捉住二萧，血祭卢、孙二将，然后赴京请罪。一天功夫，广州城外云集叛兵数万，广州告急。陈霸先在高要闻报，率三千精兵，日夜兼程，火速救援，一战而解重围，周文育、杜僧明等叛将被擒。陈霸先牛刀小试，已显露出英武雄奇的将略之才，这事惊动了朝廷，梁武帝还特派画师前往广州，画下陈霸先像，以示表彰。梁大同十年（544）冬，萧映在广州病亡。新年刚过，陈霸先护送萧映灵柩回建康，行至大庾岭，正遇上梁武帝诏命下达，任陈霸先为交州司马，领武平（今越南永安附近）太守，随新任交州刺史杨日票前往交州讨伐李贲。陈霸先又返回广州，召聚将士，备办军资。陈霸先与杨日票等征讨大军于大同十一年（545）十二月抵达交州。在恶劣的环境中，经过三年苦战，终于除掉了以李贲为首的地方分离势力，收复了交、爱、德、利、明等数州（约今北越全境）。整个交州平叛过程，杨日票虽然"领衔主演"，真正的核心人物却是陈霸先，他所统领的军队，实际上是交州平叛的中坚力量。但由于当时社会极讲究家世出身，功勋卓著的陈霸先仍未受到朝廷重用，交州平定后，依然被任命为西江督护、高要太守，连一个刺史都未升上，只添了一个督七郡诸军事的军职。陈霸先领着本部将士返回高要复职时已是梁太清二年（548）。
陈霸先回高要不久，正遇上侯景之乱。侯景，原是东魏丞相高欢手下大将，爵封河南王，职任东南道大行台、都督十三州诸军事，高欢死后，不服高欢之子高澄的统治，举兵反叛，并于梁太清元年（547）二月投靠梁朝，梁武帝派侄子萧渊明领兵与东魏开战，接应侯景，但萧渊明与侯景都被打败，渊明被俘，侯景逃到了寿阳（今安徽寿县）。侯景是一个政界无赖，就以寿阳为据点，于梁太清二年八月举兵反梁，以诛锄奸佞为借口来号令百姓，十月渡江包围了台城。梁国各路援军云集，但互相勾心斗角，成了隔岸救火。第二年三月，侯景攻破宫城，梁武帝病饿而亡，太子萧纲（503～551）被侯景扶为傀儡皇帝。陈霸先得到台城被围的消息，立即准备赴援。但陈霸先当时的顶头上司是广州刺史元景仲，元景仲本是北魏降将，受侯景诱惑，准备举兵响应侯景。面对这样一位企图背叛国家的上司，陈霸先没有顺从，而是当机立断，举兵对抗，元景仲走投无路，自缢身亡。陈霸先就迎梁宗室曲江侯萧勃镇守广州，又奉萧勃之命平定了始兴（今广东韶关旁）等十郡叛乱，大军移镇始兴。太清三年十一月，陈霸先遣将进驻大庾岭，招聚始兴地方将士，准备继续推进。但萧勃心胸狭隘，置国家民族利益于不顾，软硬兼施，只希望陈霸先能帮他看守门户。面对萧勃的利诱威逼，陈霸先只好遣使往江陵，投到梁武帝第七子、湘东王萧绎（508～554）名下，受萧绎节制。
大宝元年（550）正月，陈霸先大军从始兴出发，抵达大庾岭，击败奉萧勃之命在南野（今江西南康以南约十五公里处）拦截的蔡路养，乘胜进驻南康。陈霸先被萧绎授为明威将军、交州刺史。此后近一年半时间，陈霸先与响应侯景的高州刺史李迁仕在南康一带展开了拉锯战，终于擒斩李迁仕，于大宝二年六月发兵南康，沿赣江北下。八月，陈霸先准备与萧绎部下都督王僧辩会师。由于陈霸先足智多谋，倜傥大度，名声在王僧辩之上，故王僧辩心存畏忌。当时，王僧辩等西路各军正好缺粮，情势不妙，而陈霸先已贮有军粮五十万石，在这紧要关头，陈霸先以大局为重，迅速馈送三十万石给西军，这打消了王僧辩的顾忌，也在西路各军中赢得了威信。陈霸先发兵南康时，梁国战局发生了根本性转变，萧绎部下大将王僧辩、胡僧佑、陆法和等，在巴陵（今湖南岳阳）、郢州（今湖北武汉）一带击败侯景主力，贼帅任约、宋子仙被擒，侯景从攻势转为守势。大宝二年十月，侯景残杀梁简文帝萧纲，十一月自立为皇帝。大宝三年正月，陈霸先南路征讨大军从豫章（今江西南昌）出发，这时已有甲士三万人，强弩五千张，舟舰二千艘，水陆俱下，另有前军五千由骁将杜僧明统领，已抵达湓口（鄱阳湖入长江口）。二月，王僧辩等西路大军又从寻阳起行，在白茅湾（今安徽怀宁以东）与陈霸先会师。王僧辩与陈霸先登坛设誓，缔结了盟约。征讨大军沿路攻克芜湖、姑熟（今安徽当涂），三月在建康与侯景展开了大决战，终于彻底摧毁了侯景暴乱势力，侯景被杀。经王僧辩、陈霸先等各路将士劝进，萧绎在江陵称帝，即历史上的梁元帝。陈霸先奉命镇守在京口（今江苏镇江），王僧辩镇守在建康。梁元帝崇尚玄虚，暴戾凶狠，心胸狭隘，又刚愎自用，既是学界巨人，又是政界侏儒。梁承圣三年（554）九月，西魏发兵突袭江陵，王僧辩未及时救援，梁元帝被杀，朝臣与百姓中强壮者都被掠走，陈霸先的儿子陈昌、侄子陈顼本在梁元帝宫中值事，这次也被掳至长安。江陵几乎成了一堆废墟。
陈霸先发兵南康时，梁国战局发生了根本性转变，萧绎部下大将王僧辩、胡僧佑、陆法和等，在巴陵（今湖南岳阳）、郢州（今湖北武汉）一带击败侯景主力，贼帅任约、宋子仙被擒，侯景从攻势转为守势。大宝二年十月，侯景残杀梁简文帝萧纲，十一月自立为皇帝。大宝三年正月，陈霸先南路征讨大军从豫章（今江西南昌）出发，这时已有甲士三万人，强弩五千张，舟舰二千艘，水陆俱下，另有前军五千由骁将杜僧明统领，已抵达湓口（鄱阳湖入长江口）。二月，王僧辩等西路大军又从寻阳起行，在白茅湾（今安徽怀宁以东）与陈霸先会师。王僧辩与陈霸先登坛设誓，缔结了盟约。征讨大军沿路攻克芜湖、姑熟（今安徽当涂），三月在建康与侯景展开了大决战，终于彻底摧毁了侯景暴乱势力，侯景被杀。经王僧辩、陈霸先等各路将士劝进，萧绎在江陵称帝，即历史上的梁元帝。陈霸先奉命镇守在京口（今江苏镇江），王僧辩镇守在建康。
梁元帝崇尚玄虚，暴戾凶狠，心胸狭隘，又刚愎自用，既是学界巨人，又是政界侏儒。梁承圣三年（554）九月，西魏发兵突袭江陵，王僧辩未及时救援，梁元帝被杀，朝臣与百姓中强壮者都被掠走，陈霸先的儿子陈昌、侄子陈顼本在梁元帝宫中值事，这次也被掳至长安。江陵几乎成了一堆废墟。梁元帝之侄、故昭明太子之子萧詧在西魏驻军监视下，被扶为傀儡皇帝，建立了一个地方不过三百里的"后梁"小王国。江陵陷落后，王僧辩与陈霸先书信往来不断，经反复商议，于次年二月迎接梁元帝第九子萧方智（543～558）至建康，准备称帝。
萧方智到建康不久，北齐（东魏已被北齐禅代）文宣帝高洋不甘心西魏势力南扩，也想趁梁国破败，前来瓜分，派其弟上党王高涣领兵南向，护送原被东魏俘虏的贞阳侯萧渊明来登梁国帝位。王僧辩起先拒不允应。承圣四年三月，齐军兵至东关（今安徽巢湖市东南），王僧辩遣徐州刺史裴之横领兵拦击，裴之横战败被杀，王僧辩在惊惧之中亲自领兵出屯姑熟。其间，王僧辩一方面与北齐、另一方面与陈霸先书信往来不断。陈霸先坚持不纳萧渊明，但王僧辩随着裴之横败亡，渐渐软弱下来，屈从于北齐压力，于七月迎萧渊明到建康称帝。
梁元帝之侄、故昭明太子之子萧詧在西魏驻军监视下，被扶为傀儡皇帝，建立了一个地方不过三百里的"后梁"小王国。江陵陷落后，王僧辩与陈霸先书信往来不断，经反复商议，于次年二月迎接梁元帝第九子萧方智（543～558）至建康，准备称帝。萧方智到建康不久，北齐（东魏已被北齐禅代）文宣帝高洋不甘心西魏势力南扩，也想趁梁国破败，前来瓜分，派其弟上党王高涣领兵南向，护送原被东魏俘虏的贞阳侯萧渊明来登梁国帝位。王僧辩起先拒不允应。承圣四年三月，齐军兵至东关（今安徽巢湖市东南），王僧辩遣徐州刺史裴之横领兵拦击，裴之横战败被杀，王僧辩在惊惧之中亲自领兵出屯姑熟。其间，王僧辩一方面与北齐、另一方面与陈霸先书信往来不断。陈霸先坚持不纳萧渊明，但王僧辩随着裴之横败亡，渐渐软弱下来，屈从于北齐压力，于七月迎萧渊明到建康称帝。陈霸先苦争无效，恨王僧辩单方做主，擅自废立，九月，在京口举兵，突袭石头城，杀死王僧辩，把萧渊明赶下台，萧方智登基称帝。陈霸先任大都督，总摄梁朝军国大事。梁国经过侯景之乱，到这个时候，实际上已四分五裂，淮南被东魏侵占，四川被西魏攻取，长江中游除江陵一个“后梁”小朝廷外，湘州（州治在今长沙市）还有一个王琳。王琳本来也是梁元帝手下大将，元帝被西魏杀害后，王琳被中游诸将推为盟主，拥兵自重。后来，还拥立一个十来岁的孩童萧庄（梁元帝之孙）为帝，借助北齐力量，在郢州集结军队，企图一举征服建康。陈霸先辅佐梁敬帝萧方智时，国内除王琳外，还有许多大小藩镇没有归顺，如在吴兴的震州刺史杜龛，在义兴（今江苏宜兴）的太守韦载，在会稽（今浙江绍兴）的东扬州刺史张彪，在苏州的王僧辩之弟王僧智，还有岭南的萧勃等。东魏与西魏两个国家这时已分别被北齐、北周禅代，北周在江陵扶持了一个后梁小王朝，虎踞汉水与长江中游，北齐则接纳了梁朝降将陆法和、徐嗣徽、任约等势力，并派遣翟子崇、柳达摩与萧轨、东方老等，分别于绍泰元年（555）底和太平元年（556）六月，两次大规模侵犯建康。
陈霸先与建康保卫战
陈霸先率建康军民英勇奋战，以弱制强，击溃了这两次进犯。 陈霸先于太平二年（557）禅梁称帝，并不是在四方平定、八面颂歌的时候，而是身处危难之中。
公元554年，也就是南朝梁承圣三年十月初九，西魏柱国于谨、宇文护，大将军杨忠领兵五万，进兵江陵。次年正月初二，江陵陷落。梁元帝旋即被杀，年四十七岁。
江陵朝廷覆灭之后，二月，年仅十三岁的晋安王萧方智在建康被王僧辩和陈霸先立为梁王。梁朝的危亡重任，落在了王、陈二人的肩上。
此时北齐趁虚而入，文宣帝把寒山之役俘获的梁贞阳侯萧渊明立为梁朝“皇帝”，派上党王高涣送他南还，并写信要求王僧辩迎接。对这样无理的要求，王僧辩自然是拒绝了。见劝说无效，高涣便猛攻东关，大破梁军，杀梁大将裴之横。王僧辩为北齐军势所慑，不得已答应接受萧渊明。五月，萧渊明入建康，即皇帝位，改元天成，立梁王为太子。
这个局面如果稳定了，那么梁无异于北朝的傀儡，南朝的历史也就结束了。陈霸先在苦劝无效之后，决定诛杀王僧辩。九月，徐度、侯安都与陈霸先水陆并进，突袭石头城。王僧辩猝不及防，很快就被俘，马上被绞杀。面对这样的形势，萧渊明只得退位。十月，梁王即皇帝位，改元绍泰，是为梁敬帝。陈霸先自任尚书令、都督中外诸军事、车骑将军、扬、南徐二州刺史。
这年冬天，吴兴太守杜龛、义兴太守韦载、吴郡太守王僧智(王僧辩之弟)起兵抗命。这三郡声势相连，几乎包括了京口东南的整个江南地区。陈霸先亲自东征，兵伐义兴。他刚一走，谯、秦二州刺史徐嗣徽和南豫州刺史任约突然投降北齐，偷袭建康，占据了石头城，与留守台城的侯安都形成相持局面。
东征总算顺利，但是建康的局面就不大好收拾。北齐公然南侵，不断增援叛军。从绍泰元年十月二十九日徐、任袭据石头城起，到太平元年(556年)六月十六日解严为止，前后二百二十多天，建康经历了一段惊心动魄的岁月。
绍泰元年十一月，齐军五千人占领姑孰，与石头城徐、任相互呼应。陈霸先命令徐度在冶城立栅，加强防卫。这时候韦载向陈霸先献策，认为当务之急应该在秦淮河南岸赶筑城垒，保障与东部联系的运输线，同时截断敌军的补给线，必然稳操胜券。陈霸先依计行事，命侯安都夜袭北岸屯粮之地胡墅，烧毁了一千多条船；命周铁虎攻击敌军运输线，俘获敌将张领州；又命韦载在大航的侯景旧营筑城，使杜稜防守。齐军也在石头仓城们和秦淮河南岸分别立栅，与梁军对抗。
徐、任仗着有北岸齐军为后盾，出兵猛扑冶城，陈霸先亲率精兵迎击，大破之。徐、任二人于是留齐将柳达摩守石头城，亲往采石迎接北齐援军。十二月中，梁军连胜，侯安都在北岸深入徐嗣徽本营，使徐嗣徽大为震动；陈霸先大败柳达摩，烧毁齐军所立两栅；徐、任领齐军一万欲回石头城，为侯安都水军所败。于是陈霸先开始猛攻石头城，想凭着连胜的锐气一战而胜。柳达摩胆寒，要求讲和，但是要求陈霸先侄子陈昙朗作为人质。
建康朝臣急欲讲和，陈霸先无奈只得同意。但是他认为齐军不会守信，以为梁朝微弱，定会发兵重来。十二月中旬，双方议和。柳达摩北还，因枉自损失失兵损将而一无所获，被齐文宣帝所杀。
陈霸先的估计完全正确。两个月后，徐、任袭击采石，抓去了一个防守的将领。三月下旬，齐大都督萧轨与徐、任合兵十万，进军当涂南岸东梁山。陈霸先在梁山本已设防，使侯安都、周铁虎在此驻军，这时候又增加兵力，亲自去视察，慰劳军队。
然而齐军在梁山不过是虚张声势，相持到五月，齐军突然通知梁朝，只要交还萧渊明就退兵。陈霸先满口答应，但是没过两天萧渊明就“疽发背”死了(明摆着是被故意搞死的)。得知这一消息后，萧轨大怒，次日兵发芜湖，走旱路向建康推进(可见萧轨对侯安都的水军仍然十分忌惮)，把周文育、侯安都抛在后面。陈霸先立即召还梁山各军，在建康摆开防守阵势。
二十九日，齐军进到台城以东的倪塘，台城外郊开始出现零零散散的骑兵。从这天起，空前激烈的建康保卫战打响了。
二十九日当天，陈霸先趁齐军先锋立足未稳，领军出建康，在白城与徐嗣徽激战半日。周文育、侯安都勇不可当，亲率骑兵突击，生擒齐将乞伏无劳(看这个名字就是个衰鬼)。就在此时，大将沈泰奉陈霸先之命领三千精兵暗渡长江，偷袭瓜步，缴获一百多条船和一万军粮，令急欲增援南岸的齐军援兵大为受挫。这一天的战斗可谓是精彩之极，以劣势兵力两面出击仍然大获全胜，陈霸先对战局的判断和掌握证明了他是足以依靠的领袖人物。
第二天，齐军主力终于赶到，进军至城东北的钟山；初四，进至城北的幕府山；初九，到了玄武湖西北。齐军主力既到，兵力对梁军保持了绝对优势，进展相当顺利。陈霸先看出敌军士气正高，决定暂避其锋芒，且战且退，逐处应战，以战术上的优势弥补战略上的劣势，同时不断用游骑骚扰齐军的补给线。
但是陈霸先很快发现自己到了退无可退的境地，南、北、东三面都出现了敌军，建康被包围了。其时建康的对外联络已经被切断，粮运不至，救兵未来，户口离散，征求无所。
尽管这样，齐军却也陷入了困境。江南的梅雨季节终于发飙了，连日的大雨使城内外积水过膝。城内的守军还可以轮流到室内休息，城外的齐军可就惨了，一来露天无法烧火做饭，士兵只能吃生的食物；二来建康死守，陈霸先又不时偷袭，齐军无法休息，士兵日夜站在烂泥中，脚趾都烂了，精神更是疲惫不堪。
综合所有的情况，在召开了几次军事会议以后，陈霸先决定孤注一掷，冒险反攻。十一日，天气转好，陈霸先开始动员士兵，鼓舞士气。然而士兵个个饥饿不堪，根本无法出战。就在陈霸先一筹莫展的时候，陈蒨奇迹般的送来了三千斛米、一千只鸭。至于怎么弄到的这些东西，史书上没有说，我只能称之为奇迹。陈霸先自然是大喜过望，立即命令煮熟，发给每个人一包用荷叶裹的饭，中间夹着几块鸭肉。士兵们填饱了肚子，振作精神，准备拼死一搏。
公元556年、梁太平元年六月十二日的这场战斗，势必在历史上留下了几个耀眼的名字。下面我就结合史料，加上我的个人想象，描述一下这一天的激战。
十二日的拂晓，梁军的骑兵主力静悄悄的出了建康北门。先锋大将仍旧是侯安都，他的任务是为陈霸先的大部队冲乱敌军的阵地。侯安都回头看了看身后的的梁朝皇族猛将萧摩诃，道：“将军骁勇有名，安都久仰，但百闻不如一见，今日之事……”萧摩诃朗声道：“今日使明公一见！”侯安都道：“好！今日全赖将军神威。”
梁军在幕府山上摆开了阵势，而此时的齐军却一无所知。天光一放亮，侯安都立刻下令全军突击，向齐军本营发起进攻。借着幕府山的地势，士气高昂的梁军骑兵犹如猛虎下山一般直扑齐军阵地。惊慌失措的齐军仓促应战，不少士兵还没来得及拿起武器就已经身首异处。侯安都和萧摩诃更是一马当先，枪挑马踏，令齐军心惊胆战。
但是齐军很快从慌乱中回过神来，大批赶到的援军将侯安都部团团围住。侯安都坐骑被射中，落马倒地，十几个齐兵一拥而上就要抓人。当此时，萧摩诃大喝一声，匹马杀到，吓得齐兵四下逃窜。侯安都趁机大枪一挥，挑落一个敌军骑兵，夺过马再战，威猛无比。
这时候陈霸先亲率大部队赶到了，吴明彻、沈泰等军大举进攻，齐军又是一阵大乱。侯安都看到援军既到，便向萧摩诃大喝道：“萧将军！随我杀将过去！”便带着所部骑兵绕到齐军背后，再次发起猛攻。这时候齐军腹背受敌，又弄不清敌人究竟有多少兵马，士兵无心恋战，大败溃散，互相践踏而死的不计其数。
齐军大败，徐嗣徽和他的兄弟徐嗣宗也在乱军中被俘虏。士兵把二人押解回营，陈霸先冷笑一声，下令斩首，号令三军，梁军军威更壮。吴明彻、沈泰、周文育、徐度等各军纷纷告捷，齐军完全被击溃了，没有任何一只部队在抵抗，大家想的都是如何逃命。北齐南征的军事总指挥，大都督萧轨也被俘虏，其他齐军大将被俘的有四十五名之多，只有任约等不多几个人逃得性命。其余齐军将士逃到江边，却发现战船早已被侯安都的水军烧毁大半。船少人多，齐军为了争相上船而自相残杀，惨不忍睹，渡江溺死的也是不计其数。
十三日，梁军烧毁江边齐军遗留的战船，战事完全结束。十五日，建康宣布解严。至此，建康保卫战结束。陈霸先胜利了，但是充当人质的陈昙朗却被北齐杀害了。
陈霸先之所以愿走这一着险棋，与梁朝几代皇帝都无善终，民心对萧家已极度失望有关：梁武帝是饿死的，梁简文帝是被土囊压在头上闷死的，梁元帝在投降后受尽侮辱，也是被土囊闷死的，还有萧正德、萧栋、萧纪、萧渊明等，都称过帝，下场都很悲惨。这不是死了几个人的事，而是随着他们的失败，他们的子女妃妾，部下随从，成千上万的百姓连带着受屠戮的事。
扶立少君，禅代称帝
陈霸先亲手扶上台的梁敬帝，登位时才十三岁，决无左右时局的能力。这时，陈霸先要是继续瑟缩于腐见，愚忠于萧氏，不当机立断，釜底抽薪，最终也逃不出与萧梁皇朝共同覆亡的下场，对人民来说，将是又一场浩劫。所以，陈霸先称帝，实际上受命于危难之际，攘臂于无望之时，既是民情所需，也为时局所迫。《梁书》作者姚思廉认为，梁朝多次惨遭横祸，颓势已无可挽回，“敬皇高让，将同释负焉”，梁帝退位，陈霸先等于挑起了一副沉重的担子。明末清初的思想家王夫之，虽主张君权可禅代，但仍坚持从政治道德角度分析开国君主的人格品性，认为陈霸先的政治道德要高于魏、晋、齐、梁等朝，并评价说：“陈高非忠于萧氏，而保中国之遗民，延数十年以待隋之一统，则功亦伟矣哉！” 陈霸先之所以能从一介平民跃居社会政界颠峰，除历史机遇使然外，应与其自身优良的文化素质有关。首先，陈霸先有着极高的军事修养。
陈霸先手下许多将相，如杜僧明、周文育、欧阳頠、周铁虎、程灵洗、侯瑱、鲁悉达、韦载、徐陵、杜稜等，大都是他的战俘或被击败的对手，尤其是杜稜，曾险些被陈霸先亲手绞杀，陈霸先都能放手任用，让他们人尽其才。这些人也不辜负陈霸先的期望，无论在陈霸先生前还是死后，都能出死力效忠新兴的陈氏皇朝，这又不能不说陈霸先的用人之道也是一个奇迹。
陈霸先“志度弘远，怀抱豁如”，在位三年，任贤使能，政治清明，江南局势渐趋稳定。南北朝时期，中国虽处于分裂状态，
但中国要统一，始终是南北的共同心愿。凡有识之士，无论他是南人还是北人，无论他是汉族还是少数民族，无不根据自己的见识水准在作主观努力。因而南北战争不断。区别只在于其所发起的战争是否维护了广大人民的利益，是否有利于促进经济与文化的发展。陈霸先也不例外，他对自己弟弟的评价就说明他没有忘记北方；击败侯景后，陈霸先曾领兵三下广陵（今江苏扬州西北），以图收复失地；他袭杀王僧辩，就表明了他不屈服于经济文化相对落后的北齐的压迫。所以，我们不能把陈霸先建立的陈朝理解为一个偏安政权。但方方面面的因素，却使他未能实现更大的政治抱负。公元559年，陈霸先病亡。
南北平叛
平王僧辩余部之战
王僧辩被杀后，其余部起兵反陈霸先。绍泰元年十月，震州刺史杜龛与义兴太守韦载、吴郡太守王僧智等据城抗陈霸先。杜龛遣杜泰率精兵5000攻长城(今浙江长兴东)，击陈霸先子陈倩不克而退。陈霸先派部将周文育攻义兴(今江苏宜兴)，战不利，陈霸先遂自率军东讨，攻拔其城外水栅。谯(今安徽和县)、秦(今江苏六合)二州刺史徐嗣徽以州降北齐，乘陈霸先东讨义兴之机，秘与豫州刺史任约，以精兵5000袭建康(今江苏南京)，占据石头城。陈霸先说降韦载还救建康，遣周文育攻杜龛，以救长城。又命裴忌助黄他攻吴郡(今江苏苏州)，王僧智弃城逃吴兴。十一月，北齐遣兵5000渡江占据姑孰(今安徽当涂)，以援徐嗣徽、任约。陈霸先于冶城(今江苏南京朝天宫一带)立栅以阻绝援军。北齐又命安州刺史翟子崇、楚州刺史刘士荣、淮州刺史柳达摩领兵万人于胡墅(今江苏南京长江北岸)渡江，向石头城送米3万石，马干匹。陈霸先得知，卷甲还建康，命侯安都夜袭胡墅，烧北齐船只千余艘，断其粮运，并在大航(今南京镇淮桥东)修缮侯景故垒，派兵据守。北齐军亦于石头城南秦淮河南岸筑两栅，与梁军相拒。徐嗣徽等攻冶城栅，陈霸先亲率铁骑精甲出明门袭击。徐嗣徽军大败，遂以柳达摩留守石头，自往采石迎接北齐援军。十二月，侯安都败徐嗣徽，俘数百人，陈霸先攻克北齐军石头。水南二栅，大败北齐兵。徐嗣徽、任约等领北齐水步军万余人准备进入石头，陈霸先派兵据江宁阻击，北齐军不敢进，驻屯浦口(今江苏南京北)。陈霸先派侯安都率水军袭击，大破北齐军，徐嗣徽、任约等单舸逃走。陈霸先围攻石头城，断其汲水道路，城中无水，北齐将柳达摩遣使向陈霸先求和，陈霸先遂与齐结盟，签订和约。徐嗣徽、任约随柳达摩奔北齐。陈霸先随即遣将攻占姑孰。次年正月，遣陈蒨、周文育攻克吴兴(今属浙江)，杜龛败死。王僧智等奔齐。二月，攻克会稽(今浙江绍兴)，斩求扬州刺史张彪。至此，除江州刺史侯填拈江州、豫章外、王僧辩余部悉平。
平萧勃之战
太平二年二月，梁曲江侯萧勃在广州反陈霸先，举兵北伐。过五岭至南康(今属江西)，以郢州刺史欧阳頠及其部将傅泰、萧孜(萧勃侄子)为前军，至豫章，分屯要点：欧阳頠屯苦竹滩(今江西丰城西南)，傅泰据蹠口城(今江西南昌南)。南江州刺史余孝顷在新吴(今江西奉新西)举兵响应萧勃，以其弟余孝劢守郡城，自率军出豫章据守石头，与萧孜会合。陈霸先派平西将军周文育率军进击。周文育至豫章后，即以军主焦谯僧度袭击余孝顷，尽夺其上牢所泊船只，于豫章立栅固守。周文育军粮尽，诸将欲退，文育不许，遣使送出临川(今江西南城)内史周迪，周迪允送粮食。于是周文育以旧船运老弱，顺流而下，烧豫章栅栏佯退。余孝顷见之，不设防备。周文育军由小路日夜兼程，占据芊韶(今江西丰城东北)。芊韶上游有欧阳颇、萧孜．下游则有傅泰、余孝顷、周文育据中筑城，切断敌军联系。欧阳頠等人大惊，退入泥溪(今江西新干西南)。周文育派严威将军周铁虎等袭俘欧阳頠。又派其将丁法攻俘傅泰。萧孜、余孝顷军闻讯退走。三月，萧勃在南康得知欧阳頠等兵败，军中惊慌，其部将陈法武、谭世远于始兴(今广东广州韶关北)斩杀萧勃，持其首级降梁。四月，萧孜、余孝顷仍据石头抵抗。陈霸先遣平南将军侯安都协助周文育攻之。侯安都潜师夜烧其船舰，周文育率水军、侯安都率步兵协同进攻，萧孜出降，余孝顷逃新吴。陈霸先以欧阳頠为衡州刺史，并派其征讨岭南，欧阳頠子欧阳纥克始兴，頠至岭南，诸郡皆降，遂克广州。五月，余孝顷亦降。
平王琳之战
陈霸先立萧方智为帝后，王琳不服，于太平二年五月，大治船舰，将攻陈霸先。六月。陈霸先命平西将军周文育、平南将军侯安都等领水军2万会师于武昌(今属湖北武汉)征讨王琳。十月，侯安都进抵武昌，王琳部将樊猛弃城退走。周文育军由豫章(今江西南昌)进至武昌，与侯安都会师，得知陈霸先废萧方智自立为帝，侯安都认为师出无名，又因两将并行，不相隶属，部下交争，以致围攻郢州(今湖北武汉)不克。王琳军进至弇口(今湖北武汉西南)，侯安都乃撤围移军至沌口(今武昌)，仅留沈泰守汉曲(即汉口)，侯安都遇风不得进，与王琳军对峙数日后交战，侯安都军大败。周文育、侯安都等均被俘。仅沈泰退走。王琳军移驻郢州，又派部将樊猛袭占江州(今江西九江)。永定二年(558年)正月，王琳率兵10万进至湓城(治所江州，今江西九江)，驻扎白水浦(九江西)，北江州刺史鲁悉达据地自保，控制中流，王琳欲东下，不敢，乃向北齐求援，请立梁永嘉王萧庄返江南，即帝位，改元天启。萧庄以王琳为梁侍中丞相、录尚书事。六月，陈霸先再遣侯填、徐度率水军攻王琳，又另派谢哲前往游说。八月，王琳同意退军湘州(今湖南长沙)，陈霸先召众军还驻大雷(今安徽望江)。三年十月，王琳得知陈霸先死，复率军东进，复拥永嘉王萧庄出屯濡须口(今安徽巢县)，北齐慕容俨率军临逼长江为之声援。十一月，王琳进犯大雷，陈以侯瑱、侯安都、徐度合兵抵御。安州刺史吴明彻夜袭湓城，被王琳部将任忠击败，王琳乘势率军东下，于天嘉元年二月，进至栅口(在濡须口东)。侯填驻军芜湖，两军相持百余日。东关(即濡须口)水涨，王琳引合肥、芜湖一带水军助战。侯瑱进军虎槛州(今安徽芜湖西南)，王琳列舟江西，与陈师隔州对峙。次日，两军交战，王琳军撤退，至西岸以自保。晚上，遇大风雨，王琳军入浦修船，侯瑱军亦退回芜湖。北周乘王琳东下之际，遣都督荆、襄等五十二州诸军事、荆州刺史史宁带兵数万人袭击郢州。王琳恐军心动摇，乃率水军东进，北齐水军刘伯球以万人助战，慕容子会又率铁骑2000驻芜湖西岸策应王琳。时西南风紧，王琳自为得天助，引兵直取建康(今江苏南京)，侯瑱率军出芜湖尾其后。王琳用火攻，因风向反烧己船。侯瑱以拍舰击王舰，又以蒙冲小船冲撞王舰，并溶铁洒之，王琳军大败，军士溺死及被杀伤殆尽。王琳退至湓城，欲收容散卒，已无人归附，乃携妻子奔北齐。
历史评价
中国历代先贤对陈霸先的历史地位和功绩都给予了充分肯定。下列人物曾对陈霸先的生平作过深入研究，其评价是极其权威的。
魏徵：唐朝宰相魏徵曾是《隋书》、《周书》、《北齐书》、《梁书》、《陈书》五部史书的总监修官，不仅熟悉陈朝历史，而且具备政治家、史学家的眼光，他在唐太宗心目中具有十分重要的地位。魏徵分析并赞扬了陈霸先为维护中华民族利益而奋斗的一生，认为陈霸先效命旧王朝，立下丰功伟绩，功勋不下曹操、刘裕；三分天下，能够“决机百胜”，雄豪无愧刘备、孙权（高祖拔起垄亩，有雄桀之姿。始佐下藩，奋英奇之略。魏王之延汉鼎祚，宋武之反晋乘舆，懋绩鸿勋，无以尚也。决机百胜，成此三分，方诸鼎峙之雄，足以无惭权、备矣）。
姚察：陈朝吏部尚书姚察在陈亡被俘，到隋朝后，为隋文帝撰写陈朝历史，仍认为陈霸先“英略大度，应变无方，”与汉高祖刘邦、魏武帝曹操一样同属伟人（高祖英略大度，应变无方，盖汉高、魏武之亚矣）。
姚思廉：唐朝散骑常侍姚思廉曾主编了《梁书》、《陈书》两部史书，他在全面肯定了陈霸先优良品德后，用“智以绥物、武以宁乱、英谋独运、人皆莫及”四句作出了高度评价（高祖智以绥物，武以宁乱，英谋独运，人皆莫及，故能征伐四克，静难夷凶。至升大麓之日，居阿衡之任，恒崇宽政，爱育为本。有须调发军储，皆出于事不可息。加以俭素自率，常膳不过数品，私飨曲宴，皆瓦器蚌盘，肴核庶羞，裁令充足而已，不为虚费。初平侯景及立绍泰，子女玉帛，皆班将士，其充闱房者，衣不重彩，饰无金翠，歌钟女乐，不列于前。及乎践阼，弥厉恭俭。故隆功茂德，光有天下焉）。
李延寿：唐朝大史学家李延寿（《南史》与《北史》的作者）用“雄武英略”、“性甚仁爱”、“恒崇宽简”、“弥厉恭俭” 来称赞陈霸先一生（帝雄武多英略，性甚仁爱。及居阿衡，恒崇宽简。雅尚俭素，常膳不过数品。私飨曲宴，皆瓦器蚌盘，肴核庶羞，裁令充足，不为虚费。初平侯景及立敬帝，子女玉帛皆班将士，其充闱房者，衣不重彩，饰无金翠，声乐不列于前。践阼之后，弥厉恭俭。故隆功茂德，光于江左云）。
司马光：宋代史学家司马光（编有《资治通鉴》一书）用“临戎制胜，英谋独运”、“为政务崇宽简”、“性俭素”分别概括了陈霸先治军、从政、为人的鲜明个性（上临戎制胜，英谋独运，而为政务崇宽简，非军旅急务，不轻调发。性俭素，常膳不过数品，私宴用瓦器、蚌盘，肴核充事而已；后宫无金翠之饰，不设女乐）。
归有光：明代文学家归有光充分肯定陈霸先抵御落后势力的军事掠夺，保护华夏传统文化的历史功绩，用“江左诸帝，号为最贤”来歌颂陈霸先（恭俭勤劳，志度弘远，江左诸帝，号为最贤。赫然陈祖，大业光灿。寂寞沛乡，吾兹感叹）。
用我们今天的眼光来看，陈霸先在抵御落后势力摧残，维护社会稳定，保护中国传统文化等方面，为中华民族立下了不可磨灭的功勋，是中国古代杰出的政治家和军事家。没有陈霸先，中国南方势必分崩离析，中华民族将受到更大的摧残。而且，就陈霸先治国、治军、从政、为人的自身品格来讲，更是中华民族优秀文化的杰出代表。所以，毛泽东也曾经要求人们读读《陈书》，了解陈霸先的身世经历。陈霸先之所以伟大，不仅在于他是一代开国皇帝，还在于他具有彪炳千古的贤明人格。
陈霸先为中国历史上的明君之一。

Emperor Wu of Chen fishing martial arts when young, wide range of interests. Ancient histories of his youth when this rating: suave, generous, Shido and Yuan, ignore family property, "informed and decisive, as was the push services," also known as Emperor Wu of Chen "and the long, read materials on the history books, well read book on military strategy, Ming latitude climate, isolated virtual, Dun Jia the art, many martial arts. "to the Emperor Wu of Chen, Chen Changxing's descendants up to the world through 10 multiply, has Ran a large number of large families, but the Northern and Southern patriarch system in the prevalence of Chen Changxing still is a poor family.
Liang Tatung 10 a year, Emperor Wu of Chen Zhou Sima by the office to pay, and Wu Ping (in this vicinity of Vietnamese Wing) Prefecture, to pay the state crusade against local separatists. Pay the state put down, is the Liang Taiqing years (548). Hou Jing Liang was besieging the capital, Emperor Wu died of hunger, Xiao Gang was helping as a puppet emperor.
LIANG Cheng-Sheng three years (554) in September, the Western Wei Fabing raid Gangneung, Wang Sengbian not timely rescue, Liangyuan Di was killed. Emperor Wu of Chen and Wang Sengbian repeated discussions, the ninth son of Emperor Jing of Liang Ying Liang Yuandi (543 ~ 558) to our health, ready to emperor.
Emperor Wu of Chen interested in the reunification of the motherland, put down after the chaos Hou Jing, who personally led troops three times Guangling, in order to recover lost territory. Emperor Wu of Chen in the Pacific two years (557) Zen Liang emperor actually ordered the dangers, both public sentiment required, is forced by the current situation. Mr. Chen Ba in a tumultuous world, despite the hundreds of battles, to clean up is left undone in the country, the reign of three years, he was yin to energy, clean politics, the stabilization of the situation south. In June AD 559, Emperor Wu of Chen's death.
Majestic issued by Emperor Wu of Chen Ying is contained in the annals of a story. The hero of the story called the Emperor Wu of Chen. Six where he and his last all morning - Chen Dynasty, because only 33 years old and half of the territory, so that the world has been misunderstood or even ignorance, people remember more of his offspring - and the absurd Chen Houzhu rouge wells. This is no doubt deepened the understanding of Chen Dynasty country poor and weak and dissolute emperor useless impression. However, the now 83-year-old famous Chinese contemporary historian, "History of the Six would" founder, Nanjing University, Approaching the professor has a different view is: "Emperor Wu of Chen is the rare Southern British Lord. He grew from a village official general, but also by the general rule as emperor, take down a fragmented country. can be said that he and his built CT Chen, though short is very important, and Emperor Wu of Chen Nan, I called the first British Lord. "Approaching the think so. Emperor Wu of Chen's home in Changxing County, Huzhou, Zhejiang Province, today. According to historical records, although Chen is a local big, but deep in the door section of the Southern view, Chen can only be regarded as a poor family only. But it is so cold inside the door, but out of a future British Lord Emperor Wu of Chen. "Chen Shu" said the Emperor Wu of Chen "read book on the art of war, many martial arts" and "History of Southern Dynasties" is recorded in him: "read materials on historical records, a good reading book on military strategy, Ming-wai waiting, alone is true, the art of Dun Jia, many martial arts." In At that time, to read historical books, book on military strategy, and there are people who can be called martial arts Wenwuquancai the. "From the village official to the emperor," This is Approaching the political path of the Emperor Wu of Chen's evaluation. Initially, Emperor Wu of Chen Xiaoli country only. Then bosom of his ambition to serve the country, have limits as to Liang (now Nanjing) to be a guard oil depots Xiaoli, Liang Chaogui in the family are appreciated, the meteoric rise, and for active and counter-insurgency areas in Guangdong to fame. Ultimately, the achievement Chen Pa Xiandi industry is that famous "Hou Jing Rebellion." By pacified "Hou Jing Rebellion", Power High-I, the Emperor Wu of Chen Liang gradually control regime, and in the Pacific two years (557 years) spent Liang emperor.
Felt powerless in the Chen Dynasty
In fact, Emperor Wu of Chen not put down in the square, the eight-time by changing the emperor ode, when the regime are in the whole of the South perils. Liang generations of emperors are no hospice: Emperor of hunger, Jane Wen is suffocated by the soil pressure in the head, and Yuan in surrender insult suffered by the soil suffocated, as well as Xiao Zhengde, Xiao Dong, Xiao Ji, Xiao Yuan-ming, have you for the princes, but very tragic end. But this is far from what several people dead, rise and fall of dynasties, political instability to the south of lives have been rich. But this time without a strong emperor, it has been from the South Eastern Han Chinese culture will be severely damaged. Thus, history has chosen the Emperor Wu of Chen, who was appointed to the dangers, Rangbi at the time of hopelessness. Chen Zhaoli States, a time when the chaos soon Hou Jing, for several years of war against the South's economic, cultural, causing serious damage. Several monarchs side of the Binh Dinh Tran large and small local separatist regimes, while healing the wounds of war, the South's economy, culture gradually been restored. This beginning is in between 550-557 AD, Emperor Wu of Chen put down the size of civil strife, against a battle outside a shame. Emperor Wu of Chen basis, the successor Chen Wendi good governance, national power became strong and prosperous; Chen Xuandi order to achieve unity of Emperor Wu of Chen's last wish, sending troops the Northern Expedition, defeated the Northern Qi Dynasty, with the Huainan land, which is Chenzhao Ding Sheng period. If due to the text after the emperor of being addicted to alcohol, does not plan ahead, and country last vacate the Sui Dynasty.
Emperor Wu of Chen was born in the second year of Emperor ascended the throne, the beam-day supervision of two years time, China is to split time in the North-South confrontation, both within and outside the war continued, frequent wars of the socio-economic, cultural, causing enormous damage, seriously affecting development of productive forces, the people are very poor. Emperor ascended the throne, the country's almost no major war, but lost several Northern Expedition, but also increased the burden on the people. Emperor although diligent, studious, superior talent, can be considered a university who are politically committed some fatal errors: first, the "special Ningfo" light on the capital limits as more than 500 Buddhist temples built by, support monks and nuns more than 10 million people], people overwhelmed the bottom one is the emperor treatise human identity, one is the leader of all living beings the role of Emperor Wu combination, Shoushuliangduan, indecisive, politically gradually toward downhill; Second, You Rong officials, relaxation criminal wide governance, the bureaucratic class people who fish the attitude of indulgence, not shaken the country; third, the children of asylum, even children in the perverse behavior of absurd extreme, Emperor still could not bear to kill a result, side left open the potential problems.
These three mistakes blocking the Emperor's vision, that ignores the people's livelihood. Emperor Wu of Chen to live in such an era. Pa Chen Xiao Ying Hou Fu start Ku Li was named after the missionary had a chance to come into contact with the elite of society. Xiao Ying is a nephew of Emperor Wu, Li Ren Wuxing prefect, North Xuzhou (state government in Fengyang East), provincial governor, to do Huangmenshilang, Weiyuqingdeng level, Emperor Wu of Chen Hsiao Ying Fuchu should have been appointed chief of staff. Liang Datong about six years (540), Hsiao Ying-term provincial governor of Guangzhou, Guangzhou Emperor Wu of Chen Fuchu directly with any soldiers join the army, soon after as river viceroy, Gaoyao prefect. The next year, pay the state (government in Hanoi, Vietnam today is about 30 km northeast of Office) Tyrant rebellion launched by Ben Lee, sent packing, cross prefectural governor Xiao consultation. Datong eight spring, Emperor Qian Jiang crusade, Linyi China (now Vietnam, South Vietnam) King Fu Bei attacks from Ben Lee. Datong April, the Ministry Ben Lee Fan Repair in nine German (now Vietnam, Vinh) big break Lin Yi Wang, Liang crusade armies are gone. Lee Ben control of the North Vietnamese, the first month in imitation Liang Liang system Datong years, set Baiguan, claiming to be the more God. Emperor has ordered a new state (governance emerging in this Guangdong) provincial governor Luzi Xiong, Gaozhou (government in this near Yangjiang, Guangdong) provincial governor Sun Jiong rushed troops and sits in Guangzhou by Xiao Xiao Ying and counseling moderation. At that time the South is the arrival of spring, the grass is growing, rampant malaria season, Lu, Sun 2 to send troops after a request to be cool autumn, but the two refused Hsiao, lean expeditions. Lu, Sun led the two men will have to hurry off. Caixing to Hepu, really infected air attack, the deceased up to Liu Qicheng, take the opportunity to slip away also many, a crusade army collapse without a fight. Xiao Yan Xiao received consultative tip, mistaking Lu, Ben Lee Sun 2 to traffic and deliberately stay forward, Prince in Royal Decree in Guangzhou. This aroused men Jiu Jiang Zhou Wenyu Lu Zixiong, Du Ming Monk's grievance, the same year in May to launch a mutiny, rebel soldiers surrounded the Guangzhou city, ready to catch the second Xiao Dai and Yi Lu, Sun 2 will be, and then to Beijing confessing. Kung Fu one day, tens of thousands of soldiers, rebels gathered outside the city of Guangzhou, Guangzhou emergency. Emperor Wu of Chen in the high-News reported that the rate of 3,000 troops, day and night, rushed rescue, a battle Solutions tight encirclement, Zhou Wenyu, Du Ming Rebel Monk captured. Emperor Wu of Chen kill a small scale, has shown the British Wu Xiongqi will be only slightly, this alarmed the imperial court, Emperor Wu also visited Guangzhou mission portrait master, under the Emperor Wu of Chen as painting, to show recognition. Liang Datong decade (544) Winter, Xiao Ying He died in Guangzhou. New Year, Emperor Wu of Chen Xiao Ying coffin escorted back to our health, transportation Tai Yu Ling, Xiao Yan Zhao Ming is encountered issued, for the delivery of any Emperor Wu of Chen Zhou Sima, leader Wu Ping (now Vietnam, near Wing) Prefecture, with the new cross prefectural governor Yang Day tickets to pay state crusade Ben Lee. Emperor Wu of Chen returned to Guangzhou, called together the officers and men, prepared to do military information. Emperor Wu of Chen and Yang tickets crusade army in Datong 10 year (545) December arrived in cross state. In the harsh environment, after three years of hard work, they finally got rid of Ben Lee headed to the local separation of forces, recovered a cross, love, morality, Lee, Ming and a few states (about this North Vietnamese territory). Counter-insurgency throughout the delivery process of the state, although Yang ticket "starred", the real central figure is Emperor Wu of Chen, his command of the army, in fact cross the backbone of the state to quell the rebellion. But then the very particular about Family History Society, virtuous Emperor Wu of Chen has yet to be court reuse, exchange, after the state put down, still river viceroy was appointed, Gaoyao prefect, with none of rose on a provincial governor, had only had a seven-gun Governor various military military. Emperor Wu of Chen led the reinstatement of this Part, when soldiers return to Gaoyao is Liangtai Qing years (548).
Emperor Wu of Chen Gaoyao back soon, is met Hou Jing rebellion. Hou Jing, it was in hands of general Gao Huan Dong Wei Chengxiang, Jue Wang Feng of Henan, the staff Rendong Nan Road, to larger units, the military governor all 13 states military, Gao Huan's death, refuses to accept Gao Huan's son Gao Cheng's rule, Ju-Bing rebellion and in Liangtai Qing Dynasty (547) in February seeking refuge Liang, Xiao Yuan Ming Emperor sent his nephew to lead the troops and the Eastern Wei war, resumption Hou Jing, Xiao Yuan-ming and Hou Jing, but were defeated, Yuanming captured, Hou Jing fled Shouyang (now Shou County, Anhui). Hou Jing is a political rogue, take the Shouyang, where it was anti-Liang Ju-Bing Liang Taiqing two years in August to punish orders as an excuse to dig crafty people, cross the river surrounded the station in October the city. Leung gathered reinforcements from various quarters, but another intrigue, became the fire opposite bank. 2nd March, Hou Jing break Miyagi, Emperor sick to death, Prince Xiao Gang (503 ~ 551) was Hou Jing Fu as a puppet emperor. Emperor Wu of Chen received the news of the siege of the city station, the immediate preparation of Fu Yuan. However, Emperor Wu of Chen's boss was stabbed Shiyuan Jing Guangzhou Zhong, Yuan Jing Zhong Wei of this is down to, by Hou Jing temptation, ready to respond to Ju-Bing Hou Jing. Faced with such an attempt to betray the country's boss, Emperor Wu of Chen did not obey, but the decisive confrontation Ju-Bing, Yuen King Chung desperation, hanged themselves. Emperor Wu of Chen Ying Liang Royalty Qujiang on Hou Hsiao Bo guarding Guangzhou, Feng Xiao Bo, then put down the order of Siheung (now Guangdong Shaoguan side) and other 10-gun rebel, army moved Siheung town. Taiqing three years in November, Emperor Wu of Chen Qian Jiang Yu Ling large presence, gather Siheung local officers and men prepared to continue to advance. However, Xiao Bo, narrow-minded, set the expense of national interests, both hard and soft, just want to Emperor Wu of Chen to help him guard the door. Xiao Bo, the inducement to face coercion, Emperor Wu of Chen had sent envoys to Gangneung, put into the seventh son of Emperor Wu, Xiao Yi Xiang Dongwang (508 ~ 554) name, by Xiao Yi restraint.
Tai Po first year (550) the first month, Emperor Wu of Chen army starting from Siheung, arrived in great Yu Ling, Xiao Bo Feng beat of life in the South field (now about 15 km south of Study on the Traditional Office) to support interception Tsai, Cheng-sheng stationed in South Kang.

Liang Yuandi nephew, so the son of the Prince in the Western Wei Xiao Cha military surveillance and was taken as a puppet emperor, established a local, but 300 years of "Girder" small kingdom. After the fall of Gangneung, Wang Sengbian correspondence with the Emperor Wu of Chen continued, after repeated discussions, the following year in February to meet the ninth son of Emperor Jing of Liang Liang Yuandi (543 ~ 558) to our health, ready to emperor. Emperor Jing of Liang to the limits as long, the Northern Qi Dynasty (Eastern Wei and Northern Qi Zen has been generation) high-Yang Wen Xuan Western Wei forces in the South reconciled to expand, would like to take dilapidated Leung, come to divide, to send his brother Shangdang Wang Huan-led troops south high, originally escort Eastern Wei Chen positive marquis prisoners to board the Liangguo Di Xiao Yuanming bit. King at first refused to allow Sengbian be. Cheng-Sheng four years in March, Qijun Bing to Dongguan (now Chaohu Southeast), Wang Xu prefectural governor Sengbian removal of the cross to lead the troops intercepting Pei, Pei transverse to the defeat of death, the king Sengbian among themselves in terror to lead the troops out regardless of cooked Tuen. Meanwhile, Qi Wang Sengbian on the one hand and, on the other hand continued correspondence with the Emperor Wu of Chen. Emperor Wu of Chen Yuan-ming Shaw insisted on not satisfied, however, Pei Wang Sengbian with the horizontal broken, and gradually weak and down, yielding to pressure from the Northern Qi, Ying Xiao Yuanming in July to the limits as emperor. Emperor Wu of Chen bitter dispute is invalid, Wang Sengbian hate unilateral interests and unauthorized waste legislation, in September, in Jingkou Ju-Bing, raid Stone City, killing the king Sengbian to the ouster of Xiao Yuan Ming, Emperor Jing of Liang emperor ascended the throne. Emperor Wu of Chen appointed viceroy, with a total intake Liang Zhaojun country event. Rebellion of Hou Jing Liang through to this time, in fact, divided, Huainan was occupied Eastern Wei, Western Wei capture of Sichuan was the Yangtze River except Gangneung an "Girder" Xiaochao Ting, the Xiang Zhou (Changsha, the state government in this) there is a king Lin. Lin was also a general hands Liangyuan Di, Emperor Yuan was killed after Western Wei, Lin has been pushing for the chief and Zhujiang River, the soldier dead weight. Later, the backers, also a teenage children Xiao Zhuang (Liangyuan Di's grandson) as emperor, with Qi force, massed troops at the Ying Zhou, Jian Kang attempting to conquer one fell swoop. Emperor Wu of Chen adjuvant Liangjing Di Emperor Jing of Liang, the domestic inter Lin, there are many small military governors did not pledge allegiance, such as the earthquake in the prefectural governor Wu Xing Du niche in Yising (now Jiangsu Yixing) prefect Wei contained in Guiji (now Zhejiang Shaoxing ) east of Yangzhou thorn Shizhang Biao, in Suzhou, the younger brother of Seng-Chi Wang Seng Bian, Xiao Bo, etc. There Lingnan. Eastern Wei and Western Wei were the two countries began to be Qi, Zhou Chan on behalf of the Northern Zhou in Gangneung, a Girder support small dynasty, Hu Ju Han River and the Yangtze River, Northern Qi down to the accepted land law and Liang, Xu Si-Hui, Ren some other forces, and sent Dizi Chong, Liu Xiao Dharma and rail, the East and old, etc., were Shotai first year (555) and the Pacific end of the first year (556) in June, two large-scale violations of our health.
Emperor Wu of Chen Jian Kang Junmin rate of heroic struggle, with a weak force, defeated the two invasion. Emperor Wu of Chen in the Pacific two years (557) Zen Liang emperor, not the Quartet put down, the eight-time ode, but being in distress.
Qi stepped in at this time, the Battle of Han Shan Wen Xuan to capture Chen positive marquis Liang Xiao Liang Yuan-Ming Li for the "Emperor" put to the party high-Huan Wang sent him south also, and wrote to request the king Sengbian meet. Unreasonable demands on the way, Wang Sengbian naturally refused. See persuasion failed, they stormed the high-Huan Dong Guan, Liang Jun, big break, to kill the cross-Pei Liang general. The military situation for the Northern Qi Wang Sengbian by deterrence, forced to agree to accept Hsiao Yuan-ming. May, Hsiao Yuan-ming into our health, emperor, reign title heaven, the crown prince Li King of Liang.
Eastern Campaign finally successful, but our health is not very clean up the situation. Qi openly southward invasion, and constantly reinforce the rebels. From the first year of October 29 Shotai Xu, any attack, according to Stone Town, to the Pacific the first year (556 years) until the lifting of martial law on June 16, after more than 220 days, our health through a period of soul-stirring days.
Jian Kang Chaochen anxious to make peace, Emperor Wu of Chen no choice but to agree. But he thinks the Qi is not trustworthy, that Liang weak, will send soldiers over again. In mid-December, both peace negotiations. Liu Dharma North also, as Wang Zi loss of damage to and nothing missing soldiers were killed Qiwen Xuan Emperor.
On the 29th, the Qi into the city to the east of Taiwan, Ni Tong, Taiwan began to appear outside the city that serves rural cavalry. From this day, ever the fierce battle to defend our health began.
However, Emperor Wu of Chen soon found myself in the back position without retreat, south, north, east appeared the enemy on three sides, our health was surrounded. The time limits as the external contact has been cut off, not to transport grain, cavalry coming, account discrete, seek nothing.
In 556 AD, Liang Taiping first year on June 12 of this battle is bound to leave in history a few eye-catching name. Here I will combine historical data, combined with my personal imagination, describe the day's fighting.
But soon the Qi from the confusion of feet and a large number of reinforcements arrived to the Department of Hou are surrounded. Hou Andu horse was shot, the Lok Ma fell to the ground, dozens of soldiers surrounded them and arrest in Qi. When this time, Xiao Mo shouted, horse immediate concern, of Qi Bing looked scared and fled. Hou big guns the chance to wave, triumph over an enemy cavalry, snatched the horse battles the powerful.
On the 13th, Liang Jun burning warships left the Qi River, a complete end to the war. On the 15th, limits as declared martial law. Thus, the limits as the end of the Battle. Emperor Wu of Chen won, but as hostages Qi Chen Tan Long been killed.
Emperor Wu of Chen Liang Jingdi personally helping to power, came to the throne only 13 years old, about the current situation absolutely no ability. At this time, Emperor Wu of Chen, see if the rot continues to spread throughout the, blind loyalty to Shaw, not act decisively, drastic, and ultimately escape with the fall of Xiao Royal towards the common fate of people, would be another calamity. Therefore, Emperor Wu of Chen emperor actually ordered the dangers, Rangbi at the time of hopelessness, is required for public sentiment, but also forced by the current situation. "Liang Shu" by Yao Silian that many tragically Heng Huo Liang, tide has irrevocably, "King Queen high to be negative with the interpretation of the game", Liang emperor abdicated, Emperor Wu of Chen equal provoked a heavy burden. Thinkers of the Ming and Qing Wang Fu-chih, while advocating on behalf of monarchical power can be Zen, but still insist on political and moral point of view of the founding monarch of the personality of character, that the Emperor Wu of Chen's political and moral than Wei, Jin, Qi, Liang and other North Korea, and evaluate said: "The high non-loyal, JS Chen, and Paul Dynasty China, Yan Sui for decades to be unified, then the power will carry on Zai Wei!" The reason why Emperor Wu of Chen leapt from the ordinary citizen, the peak of social politics, in addition to the historical opportunity Shiran , it should be fine with their own cultural quality of the. First, Emperor Wu of Chen has a high military training.
Wang Sengbian killed, the Ministry raised his army against the rest of Emperor Wu of Chen. Shotai first year of the October earthquake niche and Yising prefect prefectural governor Du Wei set, Wujuntaishou Seng-Chi, etc. According to the city resistant Emperor Wu of Chen.

Qiao (now county of Anhui province), Qin (now Jiangsu Luhe) 2 prefectural governor Xu Si-Hui Qi down to the state, by Emperor Wu of Chen Dong discussion Yising the machine, Peru and the prefectural governor Yu Ren about to hit limits as 5,000 elite troops (now Nanjing) , occupy the Stone City. Emperor Wu of Chen Wei said lower set also save our health, severance Zhou Wenyu Tu shrine attack to save the Great Wall. Huang Pei help avoid another life he attacked Wu Jun (now Jiangsu Suzhou), Seng-Chi abandoned the cities to escape Wuxing. November, 5000 Northern Qi Qian Bing holds regardless of what crossing the river (today Anhui Dang), to aid Xu Si-Hui, Ren about. The rule of Emperor Wu of Chen in the city (Jiangsu Nanjing leave this area) to introduce legislation to block reinforcements gate. Qi has ordered security prefectural governor Dizi Chong, Chu prefectural governor Liu Shirong, Liu Huai prefectural governor to lead the troops million in Hu Shu Dharma (now Nanjing Yangtze River north) across the river, sending rice to the Stone City 30000 Stone, horse dry horse. Emperor Wu of Chen was informed that a further paper Jiankang, life safety and have a night raid Wu Shu Hou, Qi ships burning more than a thousand ships, off its food operation, and large aircraft (now the town of Huai River in Nanjing Bridge East) repair Hou Jing so base, troops entrenched. Qi army also built two stone gate south of the south bank of the Qin Huai River, and Liang Jun-phase resist. Xu Si-Hui Ye attack the city gate, etc., Emperor Wu of Chen Jing personally led a cavalry attack on a the next door. Xu Si-Hui troops were routed, then submitted Liu Dharma Left stone quarry to meet the North Qi Yuanjun since. In December, have lost XU Si Hou Hui, capture hundreds of people, Emperor Wu of Chen Qi army captured stones. Water South Second gate, defeated the Northern Qi Dynasty soldiers. Xu Si-Hui, Ren Qi water around areas such as military thousand people ready to step into the stone, Emperor Wu of Chen Jiangning check, according to troops, not the Northern Qi Dynasty into the military, garrison Pukou (now Nanjing North). Emperor Wu of Chen Hou have sent military attack rate of the water, big break Qi Jun, Xu Si-Hui, Ren about other single Ge escape. Emperor Wu of Chen siege Stone City, off the Kap Shui Mun road, city water, Qi will be sent envoys to Emperor Wu of Chen Liu Dharma sum, then Emperor Wu of Chen Qi alliance with the signing of peace treaty. Xu Si-Hui, Ren ran around with Liu Qi Dharma. Emperor Wu of Chen Qian Jiang captured immediately regardless of what. The following year the first month, severance Chen Qian, Zhou Wenyu capture Wu Xing (modern Zhejiang), Du niche defeated and killed. Ben Chai Seng-Chi, etc..
