字興國，漢族，南朝陳吳興下若裏（今浙江省長興縣）人，卓越的軍事傢、政治傢。初仕梁，曾輔佐王僧辯討平侯景之亂。天成元年（公元555），殺僧辯，立敬帝，自為相國，封陳王。敗北齊，排僧辯餘黨，受百姓所擁戴，後受禪稱帝，國號陳，都建康，在位三年，謚武皇帝，廟號高祖。
陳霸先是南北朝時期陳朝的開國皇帝，志度弘遠，恭儉勤勞。中國衆多的封建皇帝，賢明君主不多，陳霸先卻屬於其中的一代英主。
傢世淵源
陳霸先的遠祖是東漢晚期太丘縣的縣令陳寔，世居潁川許縣（今河南許昌東）。陳霸先的十世祖名叫陳達，西晉永嘉年間，陳達避亂，隨西晉王室渡江南遷。陳達出任為長城（長興古縣名）令，就在當地定居下來。陳達選擇長興作為定居地時，曾有過預言：“此地山川秀麗，當有王者興焉，二百年後，我子孫必鐘斯運。”到陳達之後的第十代，果然出了個陳霸先。
陳霸先青少年時打魚練武，興趣廣泛。古代正史對他青少年時有這樣的評價：倜儻大度，志度弘遠，不理傢産，“明達果斷，為當時所推服，”又稱陳霸先“及長，涉獵史籍，好讀兵書，明緯候、孤虛、遁甲之術，多武藝。”到陳霸先時，陳達在長興的子孫經過十世繁衍，已蔚然成為人數衆多的大傢族，但南北朝門閥制度盛行，長興的陳傢，仍屬寒門。
生平事略
陳霸先因出身寒門，起先擔任過裏司、油庫庫吏，不久，擔任了新喻侯蕭映（梁武帝侄子）侯府的傳令吏。由於受到蕭映器重，蕭映任廣州刺史，授陳霸先為中直兵參軍，不久出任西江督護，高要太守。梁大同十年（544年），廣州爆發兵亂，蕭映被圍。陳霸先率三千精兵，一戰解圍，受到梁武帝矚目。
梁大同十一年，陳霸先受任為交州司馬，兼武平（在今越南永安附近）太守，前往交州討伐地方分離勢力。交州平定，已是梁太清二年（548）。梁朝首都被侯景圍困，梁武帝餓死，蕭綱被扶為傀儡皇帝。
陳霸先得知都城被圍，立即準備赴援，但從廣州到建康，大大小小的地方藩鎮勢力或勾結侯景，或擁兵自重，層層設阻，處處為難。陳霸先以國傢大局為重，與這些藩鎮勢力展開了頑強的鬥爭。太清三年底，陳霸先遣使往江陵，投到湘東王蕭繹（508～554）門下，取得了北伐的合法權。在戰勝各種地方割據勢力後，陳霸先大軍於大寶二年（551）六月發兵南康，沿贛江北下。
大寶二年十月，侯景殘殺梁簡文帝蕭綱，十一月自立為皇帝。大寶三年正月，陳霸先南路徵討大軍從豫章（今江西南昌）出發，這時已有甲士三萬人。陳霸先與西路都督王僧辯會師後，三月，在建康與侯景展開了大决戰，終於徹底摧毀了侯景勢力。蕭繹就在江陵稱帝，即歷史上的梁元帝。陳霸先奉命鎮守在京口（今江蘇鎮江），王僧辯鎮守在建康。
梁承聖三年（554）九月，西魏發兵突襲江陵，王僧辯未及時救援，梁元帝被殺。陳霸先與王僧辯反復商議，迎梁元帝第九子蕭方智（543～558）至建康，準備稱帝。
承聖四年，北齊乘梁國多次遭遇兵禍之機，派兵南嚮，護送貞陽侯蕭淵明來登梁國帝位，企圖培植傀儡皇帝。王僧辯屈從北齊壓力，於七月迎蕭淵明到建康稱帝。
陳霸先出於國傢民族利益，九月，在京口舉兵，除去王僧辯，把蕭淵明趕下臺，蕭方智登基稱帝。陳霸先任大都督，總攝梁朝軍國大事，分別於紹泰元年（555）底和太平元年（556）六月，先後擊潰北齊兩支武裝力量的大規模進犯。
陳霸先有志於祖國統一大業，平定侯景之亂後，曾親自領兵三下廣陵，以圖收復失地。陳霸先於太平二年（557）禪梁稱帝，實際上受命於危難之際，既是民情所需，也是時局所迫。陳霸先生逢亂世，儘管身經百戰，收拾的卻是百廢待興的江山，在位三年，任賢使能，政治清明，江南局勢漸趨穩定。公元559年6月，陳霸先病逝。
從村官到皇帝
雄姿英發的陳霸先這是載於史册中的一則故事。故事的主人公叫做陳霸先。他以及他所在的六朝中最後一朝——陳朝，因為衹有33年的歷史和半壁江山的版圖，讓世人一直誤解甚至是無知，人們更多記得的是他的後代——陳後主以及荒唐的胭脂井。這無疑也加深了人們對陳朝國傢積貧積弱、皇帝荒淫無用的印象。不過，現已83歲高齡的中國當代著名史學家、“六朝史研究會”奠基人、南京大學教授卞孝萱卻是有着不同看法的：“陳霸先是南朝難得的英主。他從一個村官成長為將軍，又由將軍黃袍加身，承擔下了一片支離破碎的江山。可以說他和他所建立起來的陳朝雖然短暫卻非常重要，而陳霸先本人堪稱南朝的第一英主。”卞孝萱這樣認為。陳霸先的家乡在今天的浙江湖州長興縣。根據史料記載，陳氏雖是當地的大戶，但是在門第之見很深的南朝，陳傢也衹能算作寒門而已。但正是這樣的寒門內，卻出了個未來的英主陳霸先。《陳書》中稱陳霸先“讀兵書，多武藝”，而《南史》中更是記載他：“涉獵史籍，好讀兵書，明緯候、孤虛、遁甲之術，多武藝。”在當時，能夠讀史籍、兵書，又多武藝的人可稱得上是文武全纔了。“從村官到皇帝”這就是卞孝萱對陳霸先政治道路的評價。最初，陳霸先衹是鄉間小吏。而後，懷着滿腔報國之志的他，來到梁都建康（今南京）做一個看守油庫的小吏，在得到梁朝貴族的賞識後，平步青雲，並因在廣東一帶平叛有功而聲名鵲起。最終，成就陳霸先帝業的是那場著名的“侯景之亂”。通過平定“侯景之亂”，功高一世的陳霸先漸漸控製了梁朝的政權，並於太平二年（557年）廢梁稱帝。
難輓狂瀾的陳朝
其實陳霸先並不是在四方平定、八面頌歌的時候改朝稱帝的，當時整個南方政權都身處危難之中。梁朝幾代皇帝都無善終：梁武帝是餓死的，簡文帝是被土壤壓在頭上悶死的，元帝在投降後受盡侮辱被土壤悶死，還有蕭正德、蕭棟、蕭紀、蕭淵明等，都貴為王侯，下場卻都很悲慘。但是這絶不是死了幾個人的事，王朝的興廢、政局的動蕩讓曾經富庶的江南生靈塗炭。而這個時候，如果沒有一個強勢的皇帝，那自東晉以來的南方漢族文化就會遭到嚴重的破壞。於是，歷史選擇了陳霸先，他受命於危難之際，攘臂於無望之時。陳朝立國，正值侯景之亂不久，連續數年的戰亂對南方的經濟、文化造成了嚴重的破壞。陳朝的幾位君主一邊平定大大小小的地方割據，一邊醫治戰爭創傷，南方的經濟、文化逐漸得到了恢復。本文開頭部分，就是發生在公元550－557年間，陳霸先平定大小內亂、抵禦外辱的某一個戰役。陳霸先打下基礎後，繼承人陳文帝勵精圖治，國勢逐漸強盛起來；陳宣帝為了實現陳霸先的統一遺願，興兵北伐，戰敗北齊，擁有了淮南之地，這是陳朝鼎盛時期。後因陳後主溺於文酒，不圖進取，江山最後讓給了隋朝。
赫赫戰功
陳霸先出生在梁武帝登基的第二年，即梁天監二年，那時候，中國正處在分裂時期，南北對峙，內外戰亂不斷，頻繁的戰亂對社會經濟、文化造成了巨大的破壞，嚴重影響了生産力的發展，百姓十分貧睏。梁武帝登基後，國內基本無大的戰事，但幾次北伐失利，又加重了人民的負擔。梁武帝雖然勤政好學，纔藝超群，算得上一個大學者，在政治上卻犯下了一些致命的失誤：首先是“特佞佛”，光京城建康就建有佛寺五百多所，供養僧尼十多萬人]，底層百姓不堪重負，一個是斧正人間的皇帝身份，一個是普度衆生的教主角色，梁武帝兼而有之，首鼠兩端，優柔寡斷，政治上漸漸走嚮下坡路；其次是優容官吏，弛刑寬政，對魚肉百姓的官僚階層持放縱的態度，動搖了治國根本；第三是庇護子弟，子弟中哪怕行為荒唐乖張到極點，梁武帝仍不忍誅戮，結果在身邊伏下了隱患。
這三大失誤擋住了梁武帝的視野，即忽視了國計民生。陳霸先就生活在這樣一個時代。陳霸先從庫吏改任蕭映侯府傳教後，終於有機會接觸到社會的上層人物了。蕭映是梁武帝侄子，歷任吳興太守、北徐州（州治在安徽鳳陽東）刺史、給事黃門侍郎、衛尉卿等職，陳霸先應一直在蕭映府中任幕僚。大約在梁大同六年（540），蕭映到廣州任刺史，陳霸先隨任為廣州府中直兵參軍，不久又出任西江督護、高要太守。第二年，交州（治在今越南河內市東北約三十公裏處）土豪李賁發起叛亂，趕跑了交州刺史蕭咨。大同八年春，梁武帝遣將討伐，林邑國（今越南南越）國王也從腹背襲擊李賁。大同九年四月，李賁部將範修在九德（今越南榮市）大破林邑王，梁徵討諸軍也不知所終。李賁控製了整個北越，就在梁大同十年正月仿梁朝制度，設置百官，自稱越帝。梁武帝又命新州（治在今廣東新興）刺史盧子雄、高州（治在今廣東陽江旁）刺史孫冏火速出兵，並受坐鎮廣州的蕭映和蕭咨節制。當時南方正是春暖草長、瘴癘肆虐的季節，盧、孫二將請求待秋涼後發兵，但二蕭不允，催命出徵。盧、孫二將衹好領着將士匆匆上路。纔行到合浦，果然疫氣發作，死者達六七成，趁機溜掉的也不少，一支徵討大軍不戰而潰。梁武帝接到蕭咨密報，誤以為盧、孫二將交通李賁，故意逗留不進，敕令在廣州賜死。這事激起了盧子雄部下舊將周文育、杜僧明等人的不平，於當年五月發動嘩變，叛兵包圍了廣州城，準備捉住二蕭，血祭盧、孫二將，然後赴京請罪。一天功夫，廣州城外雲集叛兵數萬，廣州告急。陳霸先在高要聞報，率三千精兵，日夜兼程，火速救援，一戰而解重圍，周文育、杜僧明等叛將被擒。陳霸先牛刀小試，已顯露出英武雄奇的將略之才，這事驚動了朝廷，梁武帝還特派畫師前往廣州，畫下陳霸先像，以示表彰。梁大同十年（544）鼕，蕭映在廣州病亡。新年剛過，陳霸先護送蕭映靈柩回建康，行至大庾嶺，正遇上梁武帝詔命下達，任陳霸先為交州司馬，領武平（今越南永安附近）太守，隨新任交州刺史楊日票前往交州討伐李賁。陳霸先又返回廣州，召聚將士，備辦軍資。陳霸先與楊日票等徵討大軍於大同十一年（545）十二月抵達交州。在惡劣的環境中，經過三年苦戰，終於除掉了以李賁為首的地方分離勢力，收復了交、愛、德、利、明等數州（約今北越全境）。整個交州平叛過程，楊日票雖然"領銜主演"，真正的核心人物卻是陳霸先，他所統領的軍隊，實際上是交州平叛的中堅力量。但由於當時社會極講究傢世出身，功勳卓著的陳霸先仍未受到朝廷重用，交州平定後，依然被任命為西江督護、高要太守，連一個刺史都未升上，衹添了一個督七郡諸軍事的軍職。陳霸先領着本部將士返回高要復職時已是梁太清二年（548）。
陳霸先回高要不久，正遇上侯景之亂。侯景，原是東魏丞相高歡手下大將，爵封河南王，職任東南道大行臺、都督十三州諸軍事，高歡死後，不服高歡之子高澄的統治，舉兵反叛，並於梁太清元年（547）二月投靠梁朝，梁武帝派侄子蕭淵明領兵與東魏開戰，接應侯景，但蕭淵明與侯景都被打敗，淵明被俘，侯景逃到了壽陽（今安徽壽縣）。侯景是一個政界無賴，就以壽陽為據點，於梁太清二年八月舉兵反梁，以誅鋤姦佞為藉口來號令百姓，十月渡江包圍了臺城。梁國各路援軍雲集，但互相勾心鬥角，成了隔岸救火。第二年三月，侯景攻破宮城，梁武帝病餓而亡，太子蕭綱（503～551）被侯景扶為傀儡皇帝。陳霸先得到臺城被圍的消息，立即準備赴援。但陳霸先當時的頂頭上司是廣州刺史元景仲，元景仲本是北魏降將，受侯景誘惑，準備舉兵響應侯景。面對這樣一位企圖背叛國傢的上司，陳霸先沒有順從，而是當機立斷，舉兵對抗，元景仲走投無路，自縊身亡。陳霸先就迎梁宗室麯江侯蕭勃鎮守廣州，又奉蕭勃之命平定了始興（今廣東韶關旁）等十郡叛亂，大軍移鎮始興。太清三年十一月，陳霸先遣將進駐大庾嶺，招聚始興地方將士，準備繼續推進。但蕭勃心胸狹隘，置國傢民族利益於不顧，軟硬兼施，衹希望陳霸先能幫他看守門戶。面對蕭勃的利誘威逼，陳霸先衹好遣使往江陵，投到梁武帝第七子、湘東王蕭繹（508～554）名下，受蕭繹節制。
大寶元年（550）正月，陳霸先大軍從始興出發，抵達大庾嶺，擊敗奉蕭勃之命在南野（今江西南康以南約十五公裏處）攔截的蔡路養，乘勝進駐南康。陳霸先被蕭繹授為明威將軍、交州刺史。此後近一年半時間，陳霸先與響應侯景的高州刺史李遷仕在南康一帶展開了拉鋸戰，終於擒斬李遷仕，於大寶二年六月發兵南康，沿贛江北下。八月，陳霸先準備與蕭繹部下都督王僧辯會師。由於陳霸先足智多謀，倜儻大度，名聲在王僧辯之上，故王僧辯心存畏忌。當時，王僧辯等西路各軍正好缺糧，情勢不妙，而陳霸先已貯有軍糧五十萬石，在這緊要關頭，陳霸先以大局為重，迅速饋送三十萬石給西軍，這打消了王僧辯的顧忌，也在西路各軍中贏得了威信。陳霸先發兵南康時，梁國戰局發生了根本性轉變，蕭繹部下大將王僧辯、鬍僧佑、陸法和等，在巴陵（今湖南嶽陽）、郢州（今湖北武漢）一帶擊敗侯景主力，賊帥任約、宋子仙被擒，侯景從攻勢轉為守勢。大寶二年十月，侯景殘殺梁簡文帝蕭綱，十一月自立為皇帝。大寶三年正月，陳霸先南路徵討大軍從豫章（今江西南昌）出發，這時已有甲士三萬人，強弩五千張，舟艦二千艘，水陸俱下，另有前軍五千由驍將杜僧明統領，已抵達湓口（鄱陽湖入長江口）。二月，王僧辯等西路大軍又從尋陽起行，在白茅灣（今安徽懷寧以東）與陳霸先會師。王僧辯與陳霸先登壇設誓，締結了盟約。徵討大軍沿路攻剋蕪湖、姑熟（今安徽當塗），三月在建康與侯景展開了大决戰，終於徹底摧毀了侯景暴亂勢力，侯景被殺。經王僧辯、陳霸先等各路將士勸進，蕭繹在江陵稱帝，即歷史上的梁元帝。陳霸先奉命鎮守在京口（今江蘇鎮江），王僧辯鎮守在建康。梁元帝崇尚玄虛，暴戾兇狠，心胸狹隘，又剛愎自用，既是學界巨人，又是政界侏儒。梁承聖三年（554）九月，西魏發兵突襲江陵，王僧辯未及時救援，梁元帝被殺，朝臣與百姓中強壯者都被掠走，陳霸先的兒子陳昌、侄子陳頊本在梁元帝宮中值事，這次也被擄至長安。江陵幾乎成了一堆廢墟。
陳霸先發兵南康時，梁國戰局發生了根本性轉變，蕭繹部下大將王僧辯、鬍僧佑、陸法和等，在巴陵（今湖南嶽陽）、郢州（今湖北武漢）一帶擊敗侯景主力，賊帥任約、宋子仙被擒，侯景從攻勢轉為守勢。大寶二年十月，侯景殘殺梁簡文帝蕭綱，十一月自立為皇帝。大寶三年正月，陳霸先南路徵討大軍從豫章（今江西南昌）出發，這時已有甲士三萬人，強弩五千張，舟艦二千艘，水陸俱下，另有前軍五千由驍將杜僧明統領，已抵達湓口（鄱陽湖入長江口）。二月，王僧辯等西路大軍又從尋陽起行，在白茅灣（今安徽懷寧以東）與陳霸先會師。王僧辯與陳霸先登壇設誓，締結了盟約。徵討大軍沿路攻剋蕪湖、姑熟（今安徽當塗），三月在建康與侯景展開了大决戰，終於徹底摧毀了侯景暴亂勢力，侯景被殺。經王僧辯、陳霸先等各路將士勸進，蕭繹在江陵稱帝，即歷史上的梁元帝。陳霸先奉命鎮守在京口（今江蘇鎮江），王僧辯鎮守在建康。
梁元帝崇尚玄虛，暴戾兇狠，心胸狹隘，又剛愎自用，既是學界巨人，又是政界侏儒。梁承聖三年（554）九月，西魏發兵突襲江陵，王僧辯未及時救援，梁元帝被殺，朝臣與百姓中強壯者都被掠走，陳霸先的兒子陳昌、侄子陳頊本在梁元帝宮中值事，這次也被擄至長安。江陵幾乎成了一堆廢墟。梁元帝之侄、故昭明太子之子蕭詧在西魏駐軍監視下，被扶為傀儡皇帝，建立了一個地方不過三百裏的"後梁"小王國。江陵陷落後，王僧辯與陳霸先書信往來不斷，經反復商議，於次年二月迎接梁元帝第九子蕭方智（543～558）至建康，準備稱帝。
蕭方智到建康不久，北齊（東魏已被北齊禪代）文宣帝高洋不甘心西魏勢力南擴，也想趁梁國破敗，前來瓜分，派其弟上黨王高渙領兵南嚮，護送原被東魏俘虜的貞陽侯蕭淵明來登梁國帝位。王僧辯起先拒不允應。承聖四年三月，齊軍兵至東關（今安徽巢湖市東南），王僧辯遣徐州刺史裴之橫領兵攔擊，裴之橫戰敗被殺，王僧辯在驚懼之中親自領兵出屯姑熟。其間，王僧辯一方面與北齊、另一方面與陳霸先書信往來不斷。陳霸先堅持不納蕭淵明，但王僧辯隨着裴之橫敗亡，漸漸軟弱下來，屈從於北齊壓力，於七月迎蕭淵明到建康稱帝。
梁元帝之侄、故昭明太子之子蕭詧在西魏駐軍監視下，被扶為傀儡皇帝，建立了一個地方不過三百裏的"後梁"小王國。江陵陷落後，王僧辯與陳霸先書信往來不斷，經反復商議，於次年二月迎接梁元帝第九子蕭方智（543～558）至建康，準備稱帝。蕭方智到建康不久，北齊（東魏已被北齊禪代）文宣帝高洋不甘心西魏勢力南擴，也想趁梁國破敗，前來瓜分，派其弟上黨王高渙領兵南嚮，護送原被東魏俘虜的貞陽侯蕭淵明來登梁國帝位。王僧辯起先拒不允應。承聖四年三月，齊軍兵至東關（今安徽巢湖市東南），王僧辯遣徐州刺史裴之橫領兵攔擊，裴之橫戰敗被殺，王僧辯在驚懼之中親自領兵出屯姑熟。其間，王僧辯一方面與北齊、另一方面與陳霸先書信往來不斷。陳霸先堅持不納蕭淵明，但王僧辯隨着裴之橫敗亡，漸漸軟弱下來，屈從於北齊壓力，於七月迎蕭淵明到建康稱帝。陳霸先苦爭無效，恨王僧辯單方做主，擅自廢立，九月，在京口舉兵，突襲石頭城，殺死王僧辯，把蕭淵明趕下臺，蕭方智登基稱帝。陳霸先任大都督，總攝梁朝軍國大事。梁國經過侯景之亂，到這個時候，實際上已四分五裂，淮南被東魏侵占，四川被西魏攻取，長江中遊除江陵一個“後梁”小朝廷外，湘州（州治在今長沙市）還有一個王琳。王琳本來也是梁元帝手下大將，元帝被西魏殺害後，王琳被中遊諸將推為盟主，擁兵自重。後來，還擁立一個十來歲的孩童蕭莊（梁元帝之孫）為帝，藉助北齊力量，在郢州集結軍隊，企圖一舉徵服建康。陳霸先輔佐梁敬帝蕭方智時，國內除王琳外，還有許多大小藩鎮沒有歸順，如在吳興的震州刺史杜龕，在義興（今江蘇宜興）的太守韋載，在會稽（今浙江紹興）的東揚州刺史張彪，在蘇州的王僧辯之弟王僧智，還有嶺南的蕭勃等。東魏與西魏兩個國傢這時已分別被北齊、北周禪代，北周在江陵扶持了一個後梁小王朝，虎踞漢水與長江中遊，北齊則接納了梁朝降將陸法和、徐嗣徽、任約等勢力，並派遣翟子崇、柳達摩與蕭軌、東方老等，分別於紹泰元年（555）底和太平元年（556）六月，兩次大規模侵犯建康。
陳霸先與建康保衛戰
陳霸先率建康軍民英勇奮戰，以弱製強，擊潰了這兩次進犯。 陳霸先於太平二年（557）禪梁稱帝，並不是在四方平定、八面頌歌的時候，而是身處危難之中。
公元554年，也就是南朝梁承聖三年十月初九，西魏柱國於謹、宇文護，大將軍楊忠領兵五萬，進兵江陵。次年正月初二，江陵陷落。梁元帝旋即被殺，年四十七歲。
江陵朝廷覆滅之後，二月，年僅十三歲的晉安王蕭方智在建康被王僧辯和陳霸先立為梁王。梁朝的危亡重任，落在了王、陳二人的肩上。
此時北齊趁虛而入，文宣帝把寒山之役俘獲的梁貞陽侯蕭淵明立為梁朝“皇帝”，派上黨王高渙送他南還，並寫信要求王僧辯迎接。對這樣無理的要求，王僧辯自然是拒絶了。見勸說無效，高渙便猛攻東關，大破梁軍，殺梁大將裴之橫。王僧辯為北齊軍勢所懾，不得已答應接受蕭淵明。五月，蕭淵明入建康，即皇帝位，改元天成，立梁王為太子。
這個局面如果穩定了，那麽梁無異於北朝的傀儡，南朝的歷史也就結束了。陳霸先在苦勸無效之後，决定誅殺王僧辯。九月，徐度、侯安都與陳霸先水陸並進，突襲石頭城。王僧辯猝不及防，很快就被俘，馬上被絞殺。面對這樣的形勢，蕭淵明衹得退位。十月，梁王即皇帝位，改元紹泰，是為梁敬帝。陳霸先自任尚書令、都督中外諸軍事、車騎將軍、揚、南徐二州刺史。
這年鼕天，吳興太守杜龕、義興太守韋載、吳郡太守王僧智(王僧辯之弟)起兵抗命。這三郡聲勢相連，幾乎包括了京口東南的整個江南地區。陳霸先親自東徵，兵伐義興。他剛一走，譙、秦二州刺史徐嗣徽和南豫州刺史任約突然投降北齊，偷襲建康，占據了石頭城，與留守臺城的侯安都形成相持局面。
東徵總算順利，但是建康的局面就不大好收拾。北齊公然南侵，不斷增援叛軍。從紹泰元年十月二十九日徐、任襲據石頭城起，到太平元年(556年)六月十六日解嚴為止，前後二百二十多天，建康經歷了一段驚心動魄的歲月。
紹泰元年十一月，齊軍五千人占領姑孰，與石頭城徐、任相互呼應。陳霸先命令徐度在冶城立柵，加強防衛。這時候韋載嚮陳霸先獻策，認為當務之急應該在秦淮河南岸趕築城壘，保障與東部聯繫的運輸綫，同時截斷敵軍的補給綫，必然穩操勝券。陳霸先依計行事，命侯安都夜襲北岸屯糧之地鬍墅，燒毀了一千多條船；命周鐵虎攻擊敵軍運輸綫，俘獲敵將張領州；又命韋載在大航的侯景舊營築城，使杜稜防守。齊軍也在石頭倉城們和秦淮河南岸分別立柵，與梁軍對抗。
徐、任仗着有北岸齊軍為後盾，出兵猛撲冶城，陳霸先親率精兵迎擊，大破之。徐、任二人於是留齊將柳達摩守石頭城，親往采石迎接北齊援軍。十二月中，梁軍連勝，侯安都在北岸深入徐嗣徽本營，使徐嗣徽大為震動；陳霸先大敗柳達摩，燒毀齊軍所立兩柵；徐、任領齊軍一萬欲回石頭城，為侯安都水軍所敗。於是陳霸先開始猛攻石頭城，想憑着連勝的銳氣一戰而勝。柳達摩膽寒，要求講和，但是要求陳霸先侄子陳曇朗作為人質。
建康朝臣急欲講和，陳霸先無奈衹得同意。但是他認為齊軍不會守信，以為梁朝微弱，定會發兵重來。十二月中旬，雙方議和。柳達摩北還，因枉自損失失兵損將而一無所獲，被齊文宣帝所殺。
陳霸先的估計完全正確。兩個月後，徐、任襲擊采石，抓去了一個防守的將領。三月下旬，齊大都督蕭軌與徐、任合兵十萬，進軍當塗南岸東梁山。陳霸先在梁山本已設防，使侯安都、周鐵虎在此駐軍，這時候又增加兵力，親自去視察，慰勞軍隊。
然而齊軍在梁山不過是虛張聲勢，相持到五月，齊軍突然通知梁朝，衹要交還蕭淵明就退兵。陳霸先滿口答應，但是沒過兩天蕭淵明就“疽發背”死了(明擺着是被故意搞死的)。得知這一消息後，蕭軌大怒，次日兵發蕪湖，走旱路嚮建康推進(可見蕭軌對侯安都的水軍仍然十分忌憚)，把周文育、侯安都拋在後面。陳霸先立即召還梁山各軍，在建康擺開防守陣勢。
二十九日，齊軍進到臺城以東的倪塘，臺城外郊開始出現零零散散的騎兵。從這天起，空前激烈的建康保衛戰打響了。
二十九日當天，陳霸先趁齊軍先鋒立足未穩，領軍出建康，在白城與徐嗣徽激戰半日。周文育、侯安都勇不可當，親率騎兵突擊，生擒齊將乞伏無勞(看這個名字就是個衰鬼)。就在此時，大將瀋泰奉陳霸先之命領三千精兵暗渡長江，偷襲瓜步，繳獲一百多條船和一萬軍糧，令急欲增援南岸的齊軍援兵大為受挫。這一天的戰鬥可謂是精彩之極，以劣勢兵力兩面出擊仍然大獲全勝，陳霸先對戰局的判斷和掌握證明了他是足以依靠的領袖人物。
第二天，齊軍主力終於趕到，進軍至城東北的鐘山；初四，進至城北的幕府山；初九，到了玄武湖西北。齊軍主力既到，兵力對梁軍保持了絶對優勢，進展相當順利。陳霸先看出敵軍士氣正高，决定暫避其鋒芒，且戰且退，逐處應戰，以戰術上的優勢彌補戰略上的劣勢，同時不斷用遊騎騷擾齊軍的補給綫。
但是陳霸先很快發現自己到了退無可退的境地，南、北、東三面都出現了敵軍，建康被包圍了。其時建康的對外聯絡已經被切斷，糧運不至，救兵未來，戶口離散，徵求無所。
儘管這樣，齊軍卻也陷入了睏境。江南的梅雨季節終於發飆了，連日的大雨使城內外積水過膝。城內的守軍還可以輪流到室內休息，城外的齊軍可就慘了，一來露天無法燒火做飯，士兵衹能吃生的食物；二來建康死守，陳霸先又不時偷襲，齊軍無法休息，士兵日夜站在爛泥中，腳趾都爛了，精神更是疲憊不堪。
綜合所有的情況，在召開了幾次軍事會議以後，陳霸先决定孤註一擲，冒險反攻。十一日，天氣轉好，陳霸先開始動員士兵，鼓舞士氣。然而士兵個個饑餓不堪，根本無法出戰。就在陳霸先一籌莫展的時候，陳蒨奇跡般的送來了三千斛米、一千衹鴨。至於怎麽弄到的這些東西，史書上沒有說，我衹能稱之為奇跡。陳霸先自然是大喜過望，立即命令煮熟，發給每個人一包用荷葉裹的飯，中間夾着幾塊鴨肉。士兵們填飽了肚子，振作精神，準備拼死一搏。
公元556年、梁太平元年六月十二日的這場戰鬥，勢必在歷史上留下了幾個耀眼的名字。下面我就結合史料，加上我的個人想象，描述一下這一天的激戰。
十二日的拂曉，梁軍的騎兵主力靜悄悄的出了建康北門。先鋒大將仍舊是侯安都，他的任務是為陳霸先的大部隊衝亂敵軍的陣地。侯安都回頭看了看身後的的梁朝皇族猛將蕭摩訶，道：“將軍驍勇有名，安都久仰，但百聞不如一見，今日之事……”蕭摩訶朗聲道：“今日使明公一見！”侯安都道：“好！今日全賴將軍神威。”
梁軍在幕府山上擺開了陣勢，而此時的齊軍卻一無所知。天光一放亮，侯安都立刻下令全軍突擊，嚮齊軍本營發起進攻。藉着幕府山的地勢，士氣高昂的梁軍騎兵猶如猛虎下山一般直撲齊軍陣地。驚慌失措的齊軍倉促應戰，不少士兵還沒來得及拿起武器就已經身首異處。侯安都和蕭摩訶更是一馬當先，槍挑馬踏，令齊軍心驚膽戰。
但是齊軍很快從慌亂中回過神來，大批趕到的援軍將侯安都部團團圍住。侯安都坐騎被射中，落馬倒地，十幾個齊兵一擁而上就要抓人。當此時，蕭摩訶大喝一聲，匹馬殺到，嚇得齊兵四下逃竄。侯安都趁機大槍一揮，挑落一個敵軍騎兵，奪過馬再戰，威猛無比。
這時候陳霸先親率大部隊趕到了，吳明徹、瀋泰等軍大舉進攻，齊軍又是一陣大亂。侯安都看到援軍既到，便嚮蕭摩訶大喝道：“蕭將軍！隨我殺將過去！”便帶着所部騎兵繞到齊軍背後，再次發起猛攻。這時候齊軍腹背受敵，又弄不清敵人究竟有多少兵馬，士兵無心戀戰，大敗潰散，互相踐踏而死的不計其數。
齊軍大敗，徐嗣徽和他的兄弟徐嗣宗也在亂軍中被俘虜。士兵把二人押解回營，陳霸先冷笑一聲，下令斬首，號令三軍，梁軍軍威更壯。吳明徹、瀋泰、周文育、徐度等各軍紛紛告捷，齊軍完全被擊潰了，沒有任何一隻部隊在抵抗，大傢想的都是如何逃命。北齊南徵的軍事總指揮，大都督蕭軌也被俘虜，其他齊軍大將被俘的有四十五名之多，衹有任約等不多幾個人逃得性命。其餘齊軍將士逃到江邊，卻發現戰船早已被侯安都的水軍燒毀大半。船少人多，齊軍為了爭相上船而自相殘殺，慘不忍睹，渡江溺死的也是不計其數。
十三日，梁軍燒毀江邊齊軍遺留的戰船，戰事完全結束。十五日，建康宣佈解嚴。至此，建康保衛戰結束。陳霸先勝利了，但是充當人質的陳曇朗卻被北齊殺害了。
陳霸先之所以願走這一着險棋，與梁朝幾代皇帝都無善終，民心對蕭傢已極度失望有關：梁武帝是餓死的，梁簡文帝是被土囊壓在頭上悶死的，梁元帝在投降後受盡侮辱，也是被土囊悶死的，還有蕭正德、蕭棟、蕭紀、蕭淵明等，都稱過帝，下場都很悲慘。這不是死了幾個人的事，而是隨着他們的失敗，他們的子女妃妾，部下隨從，成千上萬的百姓連帶着受屠戮的事。
扶立少君，禪代稱帝
陳霸先親手扶上臺的梁敬帝，登位時纔十三歲，决無左右時局的能力。這時，陳霸先要是繼續瑟縮於腐見，愚忠於蕭氏，不當機立斷，釜底抽薪，最終也逃不出與蕭梁皇朝共同覆亡的下場，對人民來說，將是又一場浩劫。所以，陳霸先稱帝，實際上受命於危難之際，攘臂於無望之時，既是民情所需，也為時局所迫。《梁書》作者姚思廉認為，梁朝多次慘遭橫禍，頽勢已無可輓回，“敬皇高讓，將同釋負焉”，梁帝退位，陳霸先等於挑起了一副沉重的擔子。明末清初的思想傢王夫之，雖主張君權可禪代，但仍堅持從政治道德角度分析開國君主的人格品性，認為陳霸先的政治道德要高於魏、晉、齊、梁等朝，並評價說：“陳高非忠於蕭氏，而保中國之遺民，延數十年以待隋之一統，則功亦偉矣哉！” 陳霸先之所以能從一介平民躍居社會政界顛峰，除歷史機遇使然外，應與其自身優良的文化素質有關。首先，陳霸先有着極高的軍事修養。
陳霸先手下許多將相，如杜僧明、周文育、歐陽頠、周鐵虎、程靈洗、侯瑱、魯悉達、韋載、徐陵、杜稜等，大都是他的戰俘或被擊敗的對手，尤其是杜稜，曾險些被陳霸先親手絞殺，陳霸先都能放手任用，讓他們人盡其纔。這些人也不辜負陳霸先的期望，無論在陳霸先生前還是死後，都能出死力效忠新興的陳氏皇朝，這又不能不說陳霸先的用人之道也是一個奇跡。
陳霸先“志度弘遠，懷抱豁如”，在位三年，任賢使能，政治清明，江南局勢漸趨穩定。南北朝時期，中國雖處於分裂狀態，
但中國要統一，始終是南北的共同心願。凡有識之士，無論他是南人還是北人，無論他是漢族還是少數民族，無不根據自己的見識水準在作主觀努力。因而南北戰爭不斷。區別衹在於其所發起的戰爭是否維護了廣大人民的利益，是否有利於促進經濟與文化的發展。陳霸先也不例外，他對自己弟弟的評價就說明他沒有忘記北方；擊敗侯景後，陳霸先曾領兵三下廣陵（今江蘇揚州西北），以圖收復失地；他襲殺王僧辯，就表明了他不屈服於經濟文化相對落後的北齊的壓迫。所以，我們不能把陳霸先建立的陳朝理解為一個偏安政權。但方方面面的因素，卻使他未能實現更大的政治抱負。公元559年，陳霸先病亡。
南北平叛
平王僧辯餘部之戰
王僧辯被殺後，其餘部起兵反陳霸先。紹泰元年十月，震州刺史杜龕與義興太守韋載、吳郡太守王僧智等據城抗陳霸先。杜龕遣杜泰率精兵5000攻長城(今浙江長興東)，擊陳霸先子陳倩不剋而退。陳霸先派部將周文育攻義興(今江蘇宜興)，戰不利，陳霸先遂自率軍東討，攻拔其城外水柵。譙(今安徽和縣)、秦(今江蘇六合)二州刺史徐嗣徽以州降北齊，乘陳霸先東討義興之機，秘與豫州刺史任約，以精兵5000襲建康(今江蘇南京)，占據石頭城。陳霸先說降韋載還救建康，遣周文育攻杜龕，以救長城。又命裴忌助黃他攻吳郡(今江蘇蘇州)，王僧智棄城逃吳興。十一月，北齊遣兵5000渡江占據姑孰(今安徽當塗)，以援徐嗣徽、任約。陳霸先於冶城(今江蘇南京朝天宮一帶)立柵以阻絶援軍。北齊又命安州刺史翟子崇、楚州刺史劉士榮、淮州刺史柳達摩領兵萬人於鬍墅(今江蘇南京長江北岸)渡江，嚮石頭城送米3萬石，馬幹匹。陳霸先得知，捲甲還建康，命侯安都夜襲鬍墅，燒北齊船衹千餘艘，斷其糧運，並在大航(今南京鎮淮橋東)修繕侯景故壘，派兵據守。北齊軍亦於石頭城南秦淮河南岸築兩柵，與梁軍相拒。徐嗣徽等攻冶城柵，陳霸先親率鐵騎精甲出明門襲擊。徐嗣徽軍大敗，遂以柳達摩留守石頭，自往采石迎接北齊援軍。十二月，侯安都敗徐嗣徽，俘數百人，陳霸先攻剋北齊軍石頭。水南二柵，大敗北齊兵。徐嗣徽、任約等領北齊水步軍萬餘人準備進入石頭，陳霸先派兵據江寧阻擊，北齊軍不敢進，駐屯浦口(今江蘇南京北)。陳霸先派侯安都率水軍襲擊，大破北齊軍，徐嗣徽、任約等單舸逃走。陳霸先圍攻石頭城，斷其汲水道路，城中無水，北齊將柳達摩遣使嚮陳霸先求和，陳霸先遂與齊結盟，簽訂和約。徐嗣徽、任約隨柳達摩奔北齊。陳霸先隨即遣將攻占姑孰。次年正月，遣陳蒨、周文育攻剋吳興(今屬浙江)，杜龕敗死。王僧智等奔齊。二月，攻剋會稽(今浙江紹興)，斬求揚州刺史張彪。至此，除江州刺史侯填拈江州、豫章外、王僧辯餘部悉平。
平蕭勃之戰
太平二年二月，梁麯江侯蕭勃在廣州反陳霸先，舉兵北伐。過五嶺至南康(今屬江西)，以郢州刺史歐陽頠及其部將傅泰、蕭孜(蕭勃侄子)為前軍，至豫章，分屯要點：歐陽頠屯苦竹灘(今江西豐城西南)，傅泰據蹠口城(今江西南昌南)。南江州刺史餘孝頃在新吳(今江西奉新西)舉兵響應蕭勃，以其弟餘孝勱守郡城，自率軍出豫章據守石頭，與蕭孜會合。陳霸先派平西將軍周文育率軍進擊。周文育至豫章後，即以軍主焦譙僧度襲擊餘孝頃，盡奪其上牢所泊船衹，於豫章立柵固守。周文育軍糧盡，諸將欲退，文育不許，遣使送出臨川(今江西南城)內史周迪，周迪允送糧食。於是周文育以舊船運老弱，順流而下，燒豫章柵欄佯退。餘孝頃見之，不設防備。周文育軍由小路日夜兼程，占據芊韶(今江西豐城東北)。芊韶上遊有歐陽頗、蕭孜．下遊則有傅泰、餘孝頃、周文育據中築城，切斷敵軍聯繫。歐陽頠等人大驚，退入泥溪(今江西新幹西南)。周文育派嚴威將軍周鐵虎等襲俘歐陽頠。又派其將丁法攻俘傅泰。蕭孜、餘孝頃軍聞訊退走。三月，蕭勃在南康得知歐陽頠等兵敗，軍中驚慌，其部將陳法武、譚世遠於始興(今廣東廣州韶關北)斬殺蕭勃，持其首級降梁。四月，蕭孜、餘孝頃仍據石頭抵抗。陳霸先遣平南將軍侯安都協助周文育攻之。侯安都潛師夜燒其船艦，周文育率水軍、侯安都率步兵協同進攻，蕭孜出降，餘孝頃逃新吳。陳霸先以歐陽頠為衡州刺史，並派其徵討嶺南，歐陽頠子歐陽紇剋始興，頠至嶺南，諸郡皆降，遂剋廣州。五月，餘孝頃亦降。
平王琳之戰
陳霸先立蕭方智為帝後，王琳不服，於太平二年五月，大治船艦，將攻陳霸先。六月。陳霸先命平西將軍周文育、平南將軍侯安都等領水軍2萬會師於武昌(今屬湖北武漢)徵討王琳。十月，侯安都進抵武昌，王琳部將樊猛棄城退走。周文育軍由豫章(今江西南昌)進至武昌，與侯安都會師，得知陳霸先廢蕭方智自立為帝，侯安都認為師出無名，又因兩將並行，不相隸屬，部下交爭，以致圍攻郢州(今湖北武漢)不剋。王琳軍進至弇口(今湖北武漢西南)，侯安都乃撤圍移軍至沌口(今武昌)，僅留瀋泰守漢麯(即漢口)，侯安都遇風不得進，與王琳軍對峙數日後交戰，侯安都軍大敗。周文育、侯安都等均被俘。僅瀋泰退走。王琳軍移駐郢州，又派部將樊猛襲占江州(今江西九江)。永定二年(558年)正月，王琳率兵10萬進至湓城(治所江州，今江西九江)，駐紮白水浦(九江西)，北江州刺史魯悉達據地自保，控製中流，王琳欲東下，不敢，乃嚮北齊求援，請立梁永嘉王蕭莊返江南，即帝位，改元天啓。蕭莊以王琳為梁侍中丞相、錄尚書事。六月，陳霸先再遣侯填、徐度率水軍攻王琳，又另派謝哲前往遊說。八月，王琳同意退軍湘州(今湖南長沙)，陳霸先召衆軍還駐大雷(今安徽望江)。三年十月，王琳得知陳霸先死，復率軍東進，復擁永嘉王蕭莊出屯濡須口(今安徽巢縣)，北齊慕容儼率軍臨逼長江為之聲援。十一月，王琳進犯大雷，陳以侯瑱、侯安都、徐度合兵抵禦。安州刺史吳明徹夜襲湓城，被王琳部將任忠擊敗，王琳乘勢率軍東下，於天嘉元年二月，進至柵口(在濡須口東)。侯填駐軍蕪湖，兩軍相持百餘日。東關(即濡須口)水漲，王琳引合肥、蕪湖一帶水軍助戰。侯瑱進軍虎檻州(今安徽蕪湖西南)，王琳列舟江西，與陳師隔州對峙。次日，兩軍交戰，王琳軍撤退，至西岸以自保。晚上，遇大風雨，王琳軍入浦修船，侯瑱軍亦退回蕪湖。北周乘王琳東下之際，遣都督荊、襄等五十二州諸軍事、荊州刺史史寧帶兵數萬人襲擊郢州。王琳恐軍心動搖，乃率水軍東進，北齊水軍劉伯球以萬人助戰，慕容子會又率鐵騎2000駐蕪湖西岸策應王琳。時西南風緊，王琳自為得天助，引兵直取建康(今江蘇南京)，侯瑱率軍出蕪湖尾其後。王琳用火攻，因風嚮反燒己船。侯瑱以拍艦擊王艦，又以蒙衝小船衝撞王艦，並溶鐵灑之，王琳軍大敗，軍士溺死及被殺傷殆盡。王琳退至湓城，欲收容散卒，已無人歸附，乃攜妻子奔北齊。
歷史評價
中國歷代先賢對陳霸先的歷史地位和功績都給予了充分肯定。下列人物曾對陳霸先的生平作過深入研究，其評價是極其權威的。
魏徵：唐朝宰相魏徵曾是《隋書》、《周書》、《北齊書》、《梁書》、《陳書》五部史書的總監修官，不僅熟悉陳朝歷史，而且具備政治傢、史學家的眼光，他在唐太宗心目中具有十分重要的地位。魏徵分析並贊揚了陳霸先為維護中華民族利益而奮鬥的一生，認為陳霸先效命舊王朝，立下豐功偉績，功勳不下曹操、劉裕；三分天下，能夠“决機百勝”，雄豪無愧劉備、孫權（高祖拔起壟畝，有雄桀之姿。始佐下藩，奮英奇之略。魏王之延漢鼎祚，宋武之反晉乘輿，懋績鴻勳，無以尚也。决機百勝，成此三分，方諸鼎峙之雄，足以無慚權、備矣）。
姚察：陳朝吏部尚書姚察在陳亡被俘，到隋朝後，為隋文帝撰寫陳朝歷史，仍認為陳霸先“英略大度，應變無方，”與漢高祖劉邦、魏武帝曹操一樣同屬偉人（高祖英略大度，應變無方，蓋漢高、魏武之亞矣）。
姚思廉：唐朝散騎常侍姚思廉曾主編了《梁書》、《陳書》兩部史書，他在全面肯定了陳霸先優良品德後，用“智以綏物、武以寧亂、英謀獨運、人皆莫及”四句作出了高度評價（高祖智以綏物，武以寧亂，英謀獨運，人皆莫及，故能徵伐四剋，靜難夷兇。至升大麓之日，居阿衡之任，恆崇寬政，愛育為本。有須調發軍儲，皆出於事不可息。加以儉素自率，常膳不過數品，私饗麯宴，皆瓦器蚌盤，餚核庶羞，裁令充足而已，不為虛費。初平侯景及立紹泰，子女玉帛，皆班將士，其充闈房者，衣不重彩，飾無金翠，歌鐘女樂，不列於前。及乎踐阼，彌厲恭儉。故隆功茂德，光有天下焉）。
李延壽：唐朝大史學家李延壽（《南史》與《北史》的作者）用“雄武英略”、“性甚仁愛”、“恆崇寬簡”、“彌厲恭儉” 來稱贊陳霸先一生（帝雄武多英略，性甚仁愛。及居阿衡，恆崇寬簡。雅尚儉素，常膳不過數品。私饗麯宴，皆瓦器蚌盤，餚核庶羞，裁令充足，不為虛費。初平侯景及立敬帝，子女玉帛皆班將士，其充闈房者，衣不重彩，飾無金翠，聲樂不列於前。踐阼之後，彌厲恭儉。故隆功茂德，光於江左雲）。
司馬光：宋代史學家司馬光（編有《資治通鑒》一書）用“臨戎製勝，英謀獨運”、“為政務崇寬簡”、“性儉素”分別概括了陳霸先治軍、從政、為人的鮮明個性（上臨戎製勝，英謀獨運，而為政務崇寬簡，非軍旅急務，不輕調發。性儉素，常膳不過數品，私宴用瓦器、蚌盤，餚核充事而已；後宮無金翠之飾，不設女樂）。
歸有光：明代文學家歸有光充分肯定陳霸先抵禦落後勢力的軍事掠奪，保護華夏傳統文化的歷史功績，用“江左諸帝，號為最賢”來歌頌陳霸先（恭儉勤勞，志度弘遠，江左諸帝，號為最賢。赫然陳祖，大業光燦。寂寞沛鄉，吾茲感嘆）。
用我們今天的眼光來看，陳霸先在抵禦落後勢力摧殘，維護社會穩定，保護中國傳統文化等方面，為中華民族立下了不可磨滅的功勳，是中國古代傑出的政治傢和軍事傢。沒有陳霸先，中國南方勢必分崩離析，中華民族將受到更大的摧殘。而且，就陳霸先治國、治軍、從政、為人的自身品格來講，更是中華民族優秀文化的傑出代表。所以，毛澤東也曾經要求人們讀讀《陳書》，瞭解陳霸先的身世經歷。陳霸先之所以偉大，不僅在於他是一代開國皇帝，還在於他具有彪炳千古的賢明人格。
陳霸先為中國歷史上的明君之一。

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 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.. February, capture Guiji (now Zhejiang Shaoxing), cut barbed Yangzhou Shi Zhangbiao demand. Thus, in addition to filling twist Jiangzhou Hou Jiang prefectural governor, Yuzhang, the king noted the remnants Sengbian level.
