刘邦循武关道入秦原因新解

A New Explanation on the Reasons of Liu Bang Marching to Qin along the Wu Pass

关于刘邦循武关道入秦的原因,学术界主要有"避险说"和"失利说"两种解释,但传统的说法存在一些值得商榷的问题和进一步探讨的空间。而且这两项原因似乎均不是主要原因,除此而外,还尚有若干更为深层、更能解释西征全程的原因,如:刘、项二人间存在激烈竞争,项羽步步紧逼的军事行动会成为刘邦进行战略战术设计时所要着重考虑的因素;刘邦自身实力弱小,与函谷道秦军力量差距很大,不得不迂回到秦军守御力量较弱、反秦基础较好的武关道。这些因素可能是刘邦循武关道入秦的主因所在。

There are some questionable issues and space for further study about the traditional interpretations of the reasons why Liu Bang marched to Qin along the Passage of Wu Pass.Moreover,these reasons don＇t seem to be the main ones.There are also some deeper,more explainable reasons for the whole western expedition besides them.For example,there was an intense competition between Liu Bang and Xiang Yu in the issue of marching to Guanzhong（关中）.Xiang Yu＇s tightly military actions were worthy of considering factors which Liu Bang designed strategies and tactics.The strength of Liu Bang＇s army was very weak and differed greatly with the Qin＇s army by the Passage of Hangu Pass,so Liu Bang＇s army had to transfer to the Passage of the Wu Pass where Qin＇s defense was not strong and the opposition against Qin was powerful.These may be the main reasons why Liu Bang＇s army moved south to the Wu Pass.
