刘备“争盟淮隅”失利述论

Discussion on the Cause of Failure about Liu Bei Contending for Alliances of Huainan

汉末刘备虽曾两度出任徐州牧,但最终都宣告失败,这其中既有刘备个人政治与军事才能不足的主观因素,也有自身军事力量不足与外敌入侵等客观条件的限制,但徐州内部不同派系间的矛盾纠葛也是刘备占领徐州失利的重要原因。徐州本地豪族名士、隶属陶谦旧部的丹阳兵将和吕布外来军事力量以及刘备亲信势力之间存在着不可调和的矛盾,这些不同派系间的相互斗争严重制约着刘备在徐州的统治,其"争盟淮隅"的战略意图更是空想。

At the end of the Han dynasty,Liu Bei served twice as governor of Xuzhou,but he failed in the end due to the subjective factors of Liu Bei’s lack of political and military ability,as well as the limitations of other objective conditions like insufficient military strength and external invasion.However,the conflicts and entanglements between different factions within Xuzhou were the important reasons for Liu Bei’s failure to occupy Xuzhou.There are irreconcilable contradictions between the local noble and famous men,the soldiers and generals affiliated to the former department of Tao Qian in Danyang and Liu Bei’s trusted followers.The struggle between these different factions seriously restricted Liu Bei’s rule in Xuzhou and his strategic intentions of contending for alliances of Huainan was unrealistic.
