After Zhang Shide was captured, the first person who was angry was the Emperor Zhang Shicheng of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

If other people were captured, Zhang Shicheng could not take it seriously and let them live and die, which had nothing to do with him.

But my younger brother is definitely different.

He has played a huge role in the development of his career. Whether it is military or political, his younger brother is an absolutely good player. It can be said that he has at least half of the credit for his achievements today.

When Zhang Shide was arrested, Zhang Shicheng, as the emperor, should have sent someone to warn Zhu Yuanzhang.

The meaning is also very simple. One is to make peace, and the other is to warn.

I'm warning this idiot who can only discharge electricity but not grow hair on his head. If he knows what he is doing, he will release my brother immediately. Otherwise, be careful and I will lead my army of one million to defeat you.

But on the issue of releasing or retaining, Zhu Yuanzhang seemed not to care at all about Zhang Shicheng's warning.

In return for Zhang Shicheng's threat to him, Zhu Yuanzhang also fully explored his extreme personality. He ignored Zhang Shicheng's warning, but severely humiliated Zhang Shide, and threatened Zhang Shide's life to force Zhang Shicheng to surrender to him.

compromise.

As a prisoner of Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhang Shide, who had always been proud and humiliated after receiving successive oppressions and insults, felt humiliated. So after suffering humiliation and torture, he prepared to secretly tell his brother: Don't compromise with Zhu Yuanzhang, and you should surrender to the Yuan army.

, the two sides joined forces to kill Zhu Yuanzhang, the bald donkey.

There is no record in the history books whether this news really spread, but from this point alone, it can be seen that there are still some problems within Zhu Yuanzhang's army. Otherwise, how could a rebel leader pass on such a message that could almost determine the life or death of his own army?

News.

When Zhang Shide proposed this theory of joint operations, Zhu Yuanzhang was the first to get this information.

Facing this kind of information that could almost turn him from active to passive, from strong to weak in an instant, Zhu Yuanzhang was very unhappy in his heart.

He originally planned to save Zhang Shide's life, because with Zhang Shide in his hands, it was equivalent to having an extra trump card in his hand that could control Zhang Shicheng. Although he could not completely control Zhang Shicheng through Zhang Jiuliu,

At least you can threaten his life as a bargaining chip when it matters.

But when Zhu Yuanzhang discovered the advice Zhang Jiuliu gave to his brother, Zhu Yuanzhang overturned his original plan.

Looking at the man in front of him who had been humiliated but still gritted his teeth, Zhu Yuanzhang felt a trace of murderous intent in his heart.

Today I learned this information first, and at least I have some precautions. However, in this chaotic environment, no one can guarantee whether this kind of information transmission will happen again. After all, no one can guarantee whether others will.

Always be true to yourself.

At this time, there is only one way to prevent this kind of trouble.

Since we can't be friends, let's completely break up.

So after Zhu Yuanzhang learned that Zhang Shide was going to send his brother the news that he would unite with the Yuan army to attack him, he made a decision.

A decision that made perfect sense given the circumstances at the time.

After this decision was made, there were two people who supported it at the same time, one was Xu Da and the other was Tang He.

At the same time, there was a person who strongly opposed it. This person was: Zhang Shicheng.

The cost of this decision is the result that Zhang Shicheng least wants to see.

But at this time, Zhang Shicheng, who was hundreds of miles away, could not play any role at all, and at the same time, Zhu Yuanzhang also took action for his decision.

In order to prevent future troubles and even avoid suffering, Zhu Yuanzhang raised the snow-white scimitar in his hand.

Under the cold and determined gaze, Zhang Shide's head was chopped alive.

When Zhu Yuanzhang made this move, it also brought his relationship with Zhang Shicheng to the bottom.

This determines Zhang Shicheng's final fate in the final battle.

After dealing with Zhang Shide's matter, a thorny problem appeared in front of Zhu Yuanzhang.

Because of Zhang Shide's murder, in order to avoid repeating the fate of his second brother, the defenders in Changzhou refused to surrender and fought against Zhu Yuanzhang's army.

At the same time, in order to vent his anger and avenge the murder of his brother, Zhang Shicheng sent Zhang and Tang to lead an army to urgently rescue Changzhou.

But what Zhang Shicheng didn't expect was that Zhang Shide and Zhang Shide not only failed to relieve Zhang Shide's siege, but were beaten by Xu Da's ambush on the way. Not only did they not relieve Changzhou's siege,

Instead, both of them were trapped in this quagmire.

Facing the fall of Zhang and Tang, Zhang Shicheng, as the emperor of the dynasty, was helpless and helpless. In his own opinion, these two men were used as reinforcements. Even if they could not help, they would definitely not

It was not helpful, but facing Zhang and Tang who were also in the quagmire, Zhang Shicheng felt extremely resentful.

These two useless gentle scum, I originally thought that you could relieve me of some of my worries, but I didn't expect that my worries were not relieved, but instead added a lot of troubles.

You bunch of useless things, sir, what use do I have for you bunch of polite scum?

A bunch of useless things.

Don't let me see you again, or I will chop you every time I see you.

But things have already happened. Under this situation, Zhang Shicheng, as the commander-in-chief of the first army, has nothing to do.

He also thought about sending some more people to deal with Zhu Yuanzhang, but his two best generals were subdued by Zhu Yuanzhang. In this embarrassing situation with no generals to adjust, as the commander-in-chief, he could only

Choose to give up.

You are a bastard, you are such a bald donkey, let me let you go this time, and wait until next time when I get the chance, I won't hit you in the northeast, southwest, or southwest.

In this self-consolation situation, Zhang Shicheng gave up the idea of ​​​​rescuing Changzhou.

This approach is tantamount to one-sided abandonment of the strategic location of Changzhou. However, as the Changzhou garrison, Zhang Jiajun has no idea what their coach is thinking. In their view, since another wave of reinforcements has failed, there will inevitably be a second wave.

The third wave of backup troops came to reinforce this place. Moreover, since this place is a strategic location and has abundant material reserves, my boss will definitely not be willing to give up.

As a result, under such conditions of full of enthusiasm and high morale, the Changzhou defenders, who were Zhang Shicheng's direct troops, withstood Zhu Jiajun's three consecutive large-scale attacks.

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang, as the supreme commander, faced the war report of Xu Da's three consecutive failed sieges. He first expressed his battlefield style as the supreme commander. He immediately issued a battle briefing and verbally rebuked Xu Da and others.

General, and began to suppress power. All soldiers who participated in the attack on Changzhou were demoted one level and verbally reprimanded.

The general meaning is: I know how hard you fought on the front line, and I also know how hard you fought Zhang Shicheng, but you must also understand that Changzhou is a strategic location that we must win. If we don’t win today,

If Changzhou is taken, then we will not be able to plan the next step of the chess game, so I advise everyone to win Changzhou. It is good for both of us. If we can't win Changzhou, humming, the responsibility lies first with the general in command. I advise you to make up for your mistakes, otherwise

Otherwise, he will definitely be punished without mercy.

Facing this war briefing, Xu Da, as the supreme commander of the army at this time, first started to murmur. He did contribute in this war, but in the face of the defenders who resisted Changzhou, he

It is indeed difficult to do.

Since following Zhu Yuanzhang, he has never encountered a city as difficult as Changzhou. Such a hard nut is like a fish bone stuck in his throat. Facing the reprimand of his boss, he is in a dilemma.

In this situation, Xu Da had only one choice. His boss's intention was very clear. He had to fight no matter how hard he fought, and he had to fight if he couldn't create conditions.

Under this kind of absolute order, he could only choose to attack.

At this time, something that made Xu Da slightly happy appeared in front of him. Maybe he knew that Changzhou was in a difficult situation, or maybe it was out of the protection of the military status of Xu Da, the general, that he did

Zhu Yuanzhang, who was the absolute boss of the Zhu Jiajun, issued a reprimand order and dispatched 20,000 elite troops to assist Xu Dalai in capturing Changzhou.

Along with the soldiers and horses these two nights were several other people, namely: Chang Yuchun, Liao Yongan and Hu Dahai.

Facing the arrival of these three generals who could fight one against a hundred, Xu Da, as a general, finally mustered up the courage and ordered the three of them to defend one side in the east, west, north, and south, without giving a shit about Changzhou.

The final onslaught was launched in the ruined place.

That is to say, in 1357, the army led by Xu Da broke through Changzhou City, which had been unable to be conquered for a long time.

But when Xu Da entered Changzhou City, a terrible thing happened in front of him.

What frightened him and puzzled him was that the garrison of Changzhou City, which was originally small, only had a few thousand people.

Facing Changzhou City, which he had been unable to conquer for a long time despite all his efforts, and facing this poor place that was just a big place in front of him but had resisted his repeated attacks for several months, Xu Da couldn't help but start to reflect on what happened.

The reason for this situation.

The final result he got was: Although Changzhou has few soldiers and horses, it has sufficient food storage. Moreover, he is eager to attack the city and is impetuous, while the other party has sufficient defense and abundant food and grass. In this situation, both parties can be said to be in a state of insecurity.

When you are at a disadvantage, it is normal for you to be unable to attack for a long time.

After Xu Da led the army to finally capture Changzhou and learned from his lack of experience, in order to boost his own morale and to carry forward the theory of war, the band style of buoying up, then declining, and then exhausting himself, as a way to do high.

After the commander-in-chief Xu Da fully renovated his army, he once again launched a strategic attack on Ma Tuosha (now Jingjiang City, Jiangsu Province) and quickly captured Jingjiang.
