熊津都督府陷落始末--兼论唐罗战争的爆发

The Loss of Xiongjin Governor's Territory(熊津都督府):On the War between Tang(唐) and Xinluo(新罗)

唐与新罗联手灭亡高句丽后,两国因百济故地控制权等问题矛盾激化,新罗利用唐军主力被吐蕃牵制在西部战场的良机,于咸亨元年至咸亨三年(670—672)不断进攻唐熊津都督府。出于国内政治及经济需要,唐朝于咸亨三年五月前后主动将熊津都督府驻军及当地百姓撤往内地,因之有关新罗于咸亨二年(671)夺占熊津都督府的说法不符合史实。唐朝在唐罗熊津之战中犯下了一连串的战略、战术失误,而没有制定完善可行的整体战略则是熊津都督府撤守的根本原因。

After Tang and Xinluo allied to defeat Gaogouli(高句丽),the conflict between the two states over the control of the ex-Baiji(百济)territory intensified.Knowing that Tang's main troops being engaged with Tubo in west,Xinluo took the opportunity to constantly assault Tang's Xiongjin Governor's Territory from the first to third year(670—672)of Xianheng(咸亨)Period.For the civil political and economic reasons,Tang dynasty initially withdrew its troops and local Baiji civilians to the interior areas around the fifth month of the third year of Xianheng.So the conclusion that Xinluo occupied Xiongjin Governor's Territory in the second year of Xianheng is not true.Tang made a series of strategic and tactical mistakes during the war,and lacking a integrated strategy was the main reason for Tang's giving up of the Xiongjin Governor's Territory.
