北宋时期绥州的战略地位与宋夏关系

Strategic Status of Sui Zhou in Northern Song Period and the Relationship between the Song Dynasty and the Western Xia

西夏立国后,绥州因为位于横山之东,可以威胁宋之延州,而有重要的战略地位。三川口之战即是西夏由绥州攻击延州的例子。宋朝因此任命种世衡修筑青涧城以防绥州。种世衡之子种谔攻占绥州,企图西出横山,威胁西夏。然元丰四五年宋夏战争中宋军大败,加上"元祐更化"时期对边防的消极态度,使得种谔的计划无法实现。直到徽宗时期攻占银州,种谔的计划才有了初步成果。

After the Western Xia was established,due to its location in the East of Hen Mountain(横山),Sui Zhou could threaten Yan Zhou of the Song,and had an important status of war strategy.The battle of Sanchuankou was one example of the Western Xia attacking Yan Zhou from Sui Zhou.The Song Dynasty therefore appointed Chong Shiheng(种世衡)to rebuild Qingjian Castle(青涧城)to defend against Sui Zhou.Chong E(种谔),the son of Chong Shiheng occupied Sui Zhou,and attempted to go outside Hen Mountain and threaten the Western Xia.However,the Song army failed in the Song-Xia War in 1081-82,plus the Song court’s passive attitude to border defense during the period of reform in 1086-1094,making Chong E’s plan not be realized.It was not until Emperor Huizong period the Song army occupied Yin Zhou that Zhong’E’s plan had a preliminary result.
