李孝常华阴之叛与李渊进取关中

LI Xiao-chang's Rebellion in Huayin and LI Yuan's Occupation of Central Shaanxi

大业末年饥荒严重,李渊太原起兵后向关中进军,然而进军途中粮食问题始终困扰唐军,故李渊至黄河边后迟迟未能渡河入关。李孝常华阴之叛,保证了李渊军粮供应及赈济饥荒稳定民心之需要,使李渊据永丰定关中东向而争天下之战略得以迅速实现;且断绝炀帝西归之希望,激化炀帝与从行关中将士之矛盾,终致江都弑逆炀帝身死,李唐之统治初步确立。

At the end of the year Daye, the famine became more and more serious and LI Yuan rebelled in Taiyuan and then marched on to Central Shaanxi. However, on the way LI＇s troops were beset by the food supply. For that reason, though they had reached Yellow River, they were reluctant to cross it and then enter Shaanxi. And the LI Xiao-chang＇s rebellion solved the problem of food crisis in LI Yuan＇s troops and stabilized the habitants, which made it possible for LI Yuan to occupy Central Shaanxi and bring the strategy of conquering the whole country into reality in short time. In addition, this made the contradiction between the emperor and the officers and soldiers that followed become more acute, which led to the emperor＇s murder and the establishment of Tang Dynasty.
