Jiaolong Jue

Guixia heard the news that Zhu Yuanzhang sent troops to attack, and waited for Zhang Shicheng to summon all the ministers to discuss the matter. Who knows, there was no movement after waiting for half a day. She was anxious and hurried to Zhang Shicheng's Chengwang Palace.

However, King Cheng was not there. After being instructed by the people in the palace, Hua Yuluo walked through the corridor and passed the corner gate, and came to a newly opened courtyard with a size of one hundred acres located in the northwest corner of King Cheng's Palace.

I saw the fragrance of flowers and green trees everywhere.

Surrounded by flowing water, winding bridges, and guarded by numerous pavilions, a resplendent five-story building stands among them.

Under the bright sun, patches of red glazed tiles glisten.

From time to time, tactful music and music come out from inside, which is a place of leisure and joy. It turns out that this is the Qiyun Tower where Zhang Shicheng's golden house hides his beauty.

Ghost Xia had no intention of admiring these, she frowned and strode in.

The guards on both sides knew her well and didn't dare to stop her at all.

Entering the spacious and gorgeous hall, Yanyu Shengge and the strong smell of alcohol came rushing.

At this moment, Zhang Shicheng was sitting obliquely in the middle, hugging two beautiful and fragrant women on the left and right, drinking and drinking while enjoying the singing and dancing in the hall, his face was full of joy, so uncomfortable.

Gui Xia couldn't control much, walked a few steps to the bottom of the steps where Zhang Shicheng was, clasped his fists and said: "My lord, you are still here at ease, do you know that Zhu Yuanzhang has sent five armies to attack us?"

Only then did Zhang Shicheng see her, and said with a smile all over his face, "Yuluo, you're here! It's just in time, I'm just looking for you!"

After all, she got up unsteadily, came down from the steps, took her arm, and said with a drunken face, "Didn't you say that Zhu Yuanzhang sent troops here! Fighting, what's the matter? This king is fighting It’s been decades! Hehe”

Guixia anxiously said: "My lord, this time is different! This..."

Zhang Shicheng waved his hand at her, another smell of alcohol hit her face

"What's the difference? I've made arrangements! I'm just a little worried about Gaoyou. It's far away from here, and it's the old capital of our Great Zhou. We can't miss it. Didn't Zhu Yuanzhang send Chang Yuchun there? He has I, Zhang Shicheng, a good general in a hundred battles, also have it! So, I want you and Bai Yunbiao to go there together, and with you stationed, I can rest assured of everything!"

Gui Xia listened, and said again: "My lord, Yu Luo will do my best to repay His Majesty! However, after I leave, this Longping Mansion..."

Without waiting for her to finish speaking, Zhang Shicheng opened his drunken eyes and said: "There is this king here! Don't you feel relieved? Come, come, Yuluo, since you are here, let's have a few drinks with this king first, and enjoy it This song and dance! Hehe"

After finishing speaking, he pointed to a woman who was twisting her soft waist and said, "Look, look, how beautiful that little waist is twisted!"

Guixia really couldn't stand it anymore, he broke away from Zhang Shicheng's hand, and said sternly

"Yuluo doesn't understand these things, and he doesn't want to drink, so he rushed to Gaoyou to set up defenses! I only hope that the lord will put the country's safety first, make preparations early, and defeat the future enemies in one fell swoop, so as to keep us safe in Dazhou!"

After saying that, he bowed deeply and turned around.

Zhang Shicheng looked at his back, laughed, and returned to the high seat, singing and drinking happily.

At dawn on the second day, before the mist cleared, the surroundings of Longxing Mansion were already surrounded by camps with Wu brand flags hanging high, interconnected from end to end.

Zhang Shicheng was still in Qiyunlou with his arms around Meiji at this time, still drunk.

After being woken up by the emergency report, he rushed to the city and saw King Wu's army that could not be seen at a glance. He was a little dizzy, so he quickly summoned all the generals, dispatched various places, and hurriedly defended.

Because of him, he acted like a fool, and his generals were also greedy for pleasure, which sapped their fighting spirit and courage, so they cheered up and led their subordinates to defend the city.

Longxing Mansion is an expensive capital city, guarded by heavy troops, and has a strong city wall. Xu Da commanded the soldiers to attack continuously for several days, but they could not take it down.

Xu Da was not yet discouraged, but all the generals defending the city began to be blindly optimistic and arrogant, and they all put pleasure in the important position again.

Amidst the cries of killing from the siege of the army, amidst the rumble of cannons, the melodious music began to float over the sky of Longxing Mansion again.

Among the music everywhere, especially in the mansion of Prime Minister Zuo Shixin, it was the most melodious and joyful.

At this time, Zhang Shixin sat obliquely on the seat in the center of the hall, and the long table in front of him was piled up with wine, meat and various fresh fruits.

Holding a wine glass in his hand, he put his arms around a thinly dressed woman with heavy makeup, smiling all over her face.

Below is a group of women who are also in semi-transparent skirts, singing and dancing to the tune.

One of the women soon attracted the attention of Zhang Shixin, who was in a state of drunkenness.

I saw that her face was like the flowers of three springs, her face was delicate and fragrant, and her eyes were as bright as the blue sea and blue sky, revealing infinite affection.

While the figure moves around, its posture is graceful, as light as clouds.

The purple skirt flutters and the long silk dances wildly. It's like a fairy coming to the nine heavens.

Zhang Shixin was fascinated by the sight, and opened his mouth wide. He had never seen this woman before. If she hadn't appeared, he would not have known that there would be such a beautiful stunner in the world.

Zhang Shixin was overjoyed, pushed away the woman beside him, smiled and waved to the woman.

The woman also accepted her graceful dancing posture, smiled shyly at him, and came slowly.

Just when she was not far away from Zhang Shixin, two ray of cold light suddenly flashed in those eyes that could sink everything, and the purple long silk in her hand flew towards Zhang Shixin.

Zhang Shixin thought the woman was just for flirting, so he went to pick it up happily, but the long silk trembled, suddenly changed direction, and went straight to his neck.

After a soft sound, Zhang Shixin's outstretched hand stopped in the air, and the smile full of desire was instantly replaced by terror, and then slowly turned gray again.

And when Changling was withdrawn by Pianpian again, a deep mark had already appeared on his neck, and blood was slowly oozing out. Then, his body suddenly fell down, and the blood gushed out until it splashed all the way to the hanger. On the high red palace lanterns and silk curtains.

Everyone didn't know it at first, but when they saw Zhang Shixin spouting blood and fell to the ground, they became confused.

Hearing the shouts, the guards outside rushed in, and the woman in the long purple dress was already floating and disappeared.

Zhang Shicheng almost fainted when he heard the news.

Back then, the three brothers rebelled at Baijuchang, and after going through hundreds of battles, they managed to own the rich land in western Zhejiang and separate one side.

I haven't enjoyed it for a few years now, just a few months ago, Zhu Yuanzhang's general Xu Da attacked Changshu, Zhang Shide went to fight, and set up an overwhelming battle array, trapping Xu Da's generals in it, causing heavy casualties.

Later, Liu Ji invited other people Tieguan Taoist and Zhou Dian to break the formation. Zhang Shide was also captured because of this, and died of hunger strike.

Now, Zhang Shixin was killed by someone again, the second of the three brothers had already died, and just as the enemy was approaching, who could help him stop it?How could Zhang Shicheng not mourn?

He personally rushed to the Prime Minister's Mansion to express his condolences, and at the same time sent troops to arrest her everywhere. However, the entire Longping Mansion was turned upside down, and the woman was nowhere to be seen.

Some subordinates reported that the woman might have escaped from the city, and some people speculated that the woman might have been sent by Xu Da to assassinate her.

Now, Longping Mansion has been surrounded like an iron barrel, and it is impossible to go out of the city to seize it. At this time, Longping Mansion is in the midst of a war, and Zhang Shicheng is so devastated that he really can't take care of it, so he has to bury Zhang Shixin hastily.

From September of the 26th year of Yuan Zhizheng (1366) to September of the 27th year of Yuan Zhizheng (1367), the one-year war of Wu Wang Zhu Yuanzhang against Zhang Shicheng's tribe gradually came to an end with Zhu Yuanzhang's successive victories.

At this time, Longping Mansion had been besieged for several months, and the food was almost exhausted.

At this time, Zhang Shicheng was sitting alone in the main hall, without the high spirits and arrogance of the past; also without the mingling of wine, singing and dancing in the past.

He raised his head and stared at the empty hall, everything came too fast and left too quickly, it was really bustling and bustling, just like a dream.

At this moment, a guard from outside came to report that there was a person outside the hall who wanted to see the king, and it was said that there was a way to relieve the crisis and save the time.

Zhang Shicheng didn't want to see it, but he had a glimmer of hope in his heart, so he nodded and motioned for that person to come in.

Zhang Shicheng asked the man, "What do you have to say?"

The guest replied: "Do you know the number of days? In the past, Xiang Yu was victorious in all battles. He was finally defeated by Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty. He killed himself in Wujiang. The number of days is inevitable. It can be used as a lesson! The Lord entered Gaoyou with 18 people and repelled the Yuan Dynasty. There are millions of soldiers, occupying the Three Wus in the east, with thousands of miles of land, and the south is called Gu, not inferior to Xiang Yu. If you can love the people and treat the soldiers, you will be punished if you believe in rewards. If you work hard, it will not be difficult to bring peace to the world. Why is it so embarrassing and embarrassing today?"

Shi Cheng said: "If you don't say anything the day before yesterday, today is too late!"

The guest replied: "The day before yesterday, the public gate was like a sea, and the children and relatives were blinded by the saints. They didn't know if they lost an army, and they didn't hear about the lost land. The generals inside and outside, beautiful clothes and good food, singing and dancing, and they didn't know the way back. How can we prevent today? Even if we knock Even the public is unwilling to hear about it!"

Shi Cheng sighed, "what's the point if things are over?"

The guest said: "I despise it, but there is a strategy. I don't know if I will follow it?"

Shi Cheng said: "There is nothing difficult except death. If you have a good plan, you might as well tell me!"

The guest replied: "How does Gong Zisi compare with Chen Youliang? Youliang was defeated and died. You can see where the destiny lies, and manpower is hard to fight for. Today, Gonghuzhou, Jiaxing, and Hangzhou have all been lost. How can this city compete with the sky? Today, if there are books in the sky, it is better to follow the example of Dou Rong. In the matter of Qian Chu, if you remove the title of king, you will not lose the position of ten thousand lords. I hope you will make your own plan soon!"

Zhang Shicheng pondered for a long time, and said: "Step back and let me learn the picture!"

The guest is going.

However, Zhang Shicheng was a true hero, unwilling to surrender. Three days later, when the city was broken, Zhang Shicheng ordered the queen, second young son, and concubines to gather on the Qiyun Tower. With the fire, the place where Yanyu played and sang became Abi Hell.

In the flames soaring into the sky, the glitz is gone, and everything is turned into clouds and smoke.

Zhang Shicheng then hanged himself and was rescued by Xu Da's generals who broke in.

Later, he was sent to Zhongshu Province. Li Shanchang was entrusted by Zhu Yuanzhang to persuade him to surrender. Zhang Shicheng stared and ignored him, and then spoke rudely, which annoyed Li Shanchang.

But Zhu Yuanzhang still wanted to leave him a way out, unwilling to kill him, so he had to be imprisoned temporarily.
