郭虔瓘生平辑考

The Life of Guo Qian-guan

郭虔瓘是唐代西陲著名边将,第二任碛西节度使,其战勋政绩,《旧唐书》《新唐书》多有阙漏。文章根据《册府元龟》《全唐文》等原始史料,钩沉索隐,考证出此人主边西陲,历经唐中宗李显、唐睿宗李旦、唐玄宗李隆基三朝,先后同唐朝劲敌大食、后东突厥汗国、黄姓突骑施、黑姓突骑施(车鼻施·苏禄)多次交战,并取得胜利。排除万难,募兵关中,以实安西,继阿史那献成为第二任碛西节度使,重开大、小勃律道,力主放弃册封西突厥阿史那氏的过时政策,乃结盟苏禄抗击大食政策的首倡者,以死殉职。功业彪炳,对后世影响巨大。

Guo Qian-guan,a famous general in the west frontier of the Tang Dynasty,was promoted to Jixi governor. His outstanding achievements were much omitted in Old Tang History and New Tang History.Based on original historical documents,this paper observed that this general,from emperor Li Xian,emperor Li Dan to Emperor Li Longji,won over many times against powerful enemies such as Dashi (Persians),post Eastern Turkic Khanate,and the Turgesh Khanate.Overcoming difficulties,he recruited in southern Shaanxi and strengthened Anxi,re-opened Burusho route,opposed strongly the conferring of a nobility title on Ashina of western Turkic Khanate,and advocated to make alliance with Sulu against Dashi,and died at his post.His distinguished achievements have had great influences on later generations.
