The dawn was getting brighter and brighter. Chang Yuchun looked at Xiao Yun quietly in the dawn light. His tiger eyes showed a look of surprise. Xiao Yun didn't care. He slapped his butt and sat down in the sand. Seeing this, Chang Yuchun hesitated for a moment, and slapped his butt, and sat down not far away when Xiao Yun sat down.

When Chang Yuchun sat next to him, Xiao Yun then thought about who should start? Zhang Shicheng, Chen Youliang, and Zhu Yuanzhang are all heroes at present. If the three of them were not in the same era and in any era, the three of them were well-deserved heroes. Unfortunately, the three of them lived in the same era, and they felt a little bit like a generation of heroes. Xiao Yun thought for a moment and decided to start with Zhang Shicheng. The reason for choosing this person is that in Xiao Yun's opinion, Zhang Shicheng is much harder than Chen Youliang, a fishmonger who is cruel and murderous.

According to historical records, in February of the 25th year of Zhizheng, Zhu Yuanzhang completely destroyed Chen Youliang, and his strength increased greatly and launched a large-scale war to eliminate heroes. His first goal was Zhang Shicheng, who occupied the prosperous land in Jiangnan. In October, Zhu Yuanzhang sent Marshal Xu Da to lead troops to fight. According to the strategy planned in advance, "firstly grasp the various counties and counties, cut Shicheng's elbow wings, and then specialize in western Zhejiang." Zhang Shicheng's army lacked training and was vulnerable to Zhu Yuanzhang's elite troops. In just half a year, all the land north of the Yangtze River belonged to Zhu Yuanzhang.

In May of the 26th year of Zhizheng, Zhu Yuanzhang issued the "Pingzhou Edict", which listed eight crimes of Zhang Shicheng: "For the people, they privately sell salt goods and robbed the rivers and lakes; when the soldiers are prospered, they gathered evildoers and were burdened by the islands, and they were guilty of being one. They were also afraid that a district in the sea would not resist the whole world, so they surrendered to the Yuan Dynasty, cheated him into the political affairs of Zhao Lian, and imprisoned him in the system. Second, they later attacked western Zhejiang, with less than ten thousand soldiers and less than a thousand miles of land, and usurped the ranks and changed the Yuan Dynasty, and the third was that they first attacked our border.

In one battle, he captured his brother alive; invaded Zhejiang Province again, Yang Miao rushed to the suburbs; he flinched from the beginning and ended, and surrendered to the Yuan Dynasty, which was the fourth. Yang was named the Yuan Dynasty, and ordered the fake king to be the commander of the fake king, and he was the subject of the murder of Yang Zuocheng, and he was the fifth. He occupied money from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, but did not pay tribute for ten years, and he was the sixth. He knew that the Yuan Gang had fallen, so he openly harmed the Prime Minister Da Shimur, and the Nantai official Puhua Timur, and the seventh. He relied on his dangerous food to seduce me to rebel generals and plunder my border people, and eighth…”

After the release of the "Pingzhou Edict", after three months of rectification, Zhu Yuanzhang appointed Xu Da as the general, Chang Yuchun as the deputy general, and led 200,000 elite troops to launch a general attack on Zhang Shicheng. Zhang Shicheng's army was like a frightened bird, and was about to collapse with Zhu Yuanzhang's army. In less than three months, Xu Da captured Huzhou, Hangzhou, and Shaoxing Zhu Yuanzhang's army successively arrived outside Pingjiang City, forming a siege against Zhang and Wu.

After besieging Pingjiang, Zhu Yuanzhang listened to the opinions of his adviser Ye Dui, adopted the method of locking the city, divided his troops to guard the gates, built long lines around the city to siege them, built wooden towers to monitor the movements and stills in the city, and laid bows and crossbows and fire guns on the tower, and attacked them day and night. Zhang Shicheng relied on the city to hold on to it.

In the 27th year of Zhizheng in the Yuan Dynasty, in the first year of Emperor Taizu Wu, Zhu Yuanzhang was not in a hurry and sent a "highest instruction" from Jiankang: "The general is outside, and the king is not in control, which is the ancient way. From the later army, the general will take advantage of it."

Xu Da was excited to receive the book, more careful and dedicated.

When Zhu Yuanzhang saw Zhang Shicheng retreating to Pingjiang, he was determined to win, but he was afraid that too many people would die in the attack. His original intention was to siege and trap him, so that Zhang Shicheng would not spend the city to surrender. At the same time, Zhu Yuanzhang kept sending people to the book city, comparing Qian Miao and Dou Rong, he persuaded Lao Zhang to surrender automatically. Zhang Shicheng was stubborn and did not repay him.

As late as July, Zhang Shicheng saw that the food supply in the city was gradually exhausted, and he was a kind and kind person, and could not do anything to kill people for food, so he led tens of thousands of personal soldiers nicknamed "Ten Dragons" to break through. After leaving the city, he saw that the Wu troops in the left west of the city were in a strict formation and did not dare to offend, so he turned to the Zhoumen and rushed to Chang Yuchun's camp. Now he met a bad star. Chang Yuchun was brave and resourceful, and he was brave and capable. He rushed forward and fought fiercely with the soldiers of the Eastern Wu. At the same time, he commanded Wang Bi, a fierce general who was good at dancing with both swords, and attacked the soldiers of the Eastern Wu, and squeezed Zhang Shicheng's more than 100 guards into the Shaban Pond, killing three tenths and drowned seven tenths. Zhang Shicheng himself fell into the water in a shocked manner and was almost drowned. The soldiers risked their lives to rescue him, carried him on their shoulders, and fled back to the city.

After ten days of recovery, Zhang Shicheng gritted his teeth and led his troops to emerge from Xumen. Out of his life-threatening mentality, Zhang Shicheng's army was brave and powerful, and Chang Yuchun's troops, who were attacking head-on, could not withstand it. Such a good opportunity, he could break through, but Zhang Shicheng's younger brother Zhang Shixin, who was standing on the top of the city, did not know which nerve was broken, and shouted: "Soldiers are tired of fighting, can stop the troops." He immediately called out the gold medal to withdraw the troops.

Zhang Shicheng and others were stunned. Chang Yuchun revived, turned around and attacked, defeating the Eastern Wu soldiers. "Since Zhang Shicheng did not dare to come back."

The situation is so critical that Zhang Shixin, the unlucky guy, was not worried at all. He was always as good as a feast on the tower of the city, putting silver chairs everywhere, drinking fine wine and eating delicious food with his confidants. The demeanor is the general, and his plan is brainless. The servant presented him with a big peach. Zhang Shixin admired him for a long time. He just opened his mouth to eat, but suddenly he fired a huge cannon under the city, and hit Zhang Shixin. The man's head was smashed and splattered with peach juice.

After his defeated brother died, Zhang Shicheng was still very tenacious, commanding the soldiers and civilians in the city to resist and killing many Western Wu soldiers. In October, Xu Da launched a general attack, and a hundred attacks were sieges. The Eastern Wu army finally lost its support and the city was trapped.

Zhang Shicheng heard the city collapse in his mansion and said to his wife Liu: "I am defeated and killed, what will you do?"

The woman of Liu's good deeds replied calmly: "Don't worry, I will not let you down." After saying that, she held two young sons in her arms, accumulated firewood and firewood downstairs of Qiyun, climbed the tower with Zhang Shicheng and other concubines, and asked someone to set fire to the building before hanging herself.

It was late at night. The great hero Zhang Shicheng was really dead at dusk. He sat alone in the room for a long time, looking at the fire in Qiyun Tower as if thinking. Then, he threw himself on the beam and prepared to hang himself. Zhang Shicheng's former general Li Bosheng was ordered by Xu Dayu to look for Zhang Shicheng everywhere. He happened to find his former master kicking his legs in the air. He hurriedly stepped forward to rescue him and cried and persuaded, "Are you still afraid that the nine four heroes will not save your life!"

Xu Da immediately took Zhang Shicheng on board and took him to Jiankang by water. During this period, Zhang Shicheng stayed firmly on the boat and took a hunger strike.

After being escorted to the Secretariat of Jiankang, Zhu Yuanzhang sent Li Shanchang to "persuade surrender", Zhang Shicheng cursed, and the two of them almost fought.

Before his death, Zhang Shicheng didn't know why he died, so he said to Zhu Yuanzhang: "The sun shines on you and doesn't shine on me."

That night, Zhang Shicheng finally hanged himself when the people were unprepared. When he was invincible, Zhang Shicheng was cowardly and missed the opportunity. When he was captured and captured, he was unruly and was a real man. At this point, Xiao Yun had a good impression of him and made up his mind. He said, "If today, heroes are rising together, and the world is competing for the world. Among the heroes in all directions, Zhang Shicheng is rich in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Huang Jingfu, Cai Yanwen, and Ye Dexin are even the best in the world. If it were Brother Chang...?"
