The Northern Zhou Dynasty and the State of Chen were bounded by the Yangtze River. Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty took the Northern Zhou Dynasty as his generation and decided to destroy Chen. He said to his servant Gao Ying, "I am the parents of the whole country. Is it because there is a Yangtze River as narrow as a belt that I watch the people in the south suffer and don't save them? "
