Besides, in front of Hujiazhuang, because Hu Cheng was transferred to Dongping Fucheng to participate in the defense, it was the female general Hu Sanniang who sent troops to rescue Zhujiazhuang.
She was engaged to Zhu Biao, and her own strength was not weak, so it was her duty to lead troops to rescue him.
But it was Lin Chong and others who came to attack Hujiazhuang.
She was very powerful. She first defeated Shi Jin, then beat Pei Xuan and Shi Xiu. Finally, she angered Lin Chong and took action himself. After only ten battles, she was captured alive.
With Hu Sanniang in hand, Lin Chong took her to Hu's family village to persuade her to surrender. Unexpectedly, Hu Taigong didn't know that his son Hu Cheng had died in the rebellion long ago. He thought that his son was still in Dongping Mansion, so he would rather give up his daughter. Resolutely not surrender.
Lin Chong had no choice but to attack forcefully.
Although Hujiazhuang is not as tall as Lijiazhuang and has a deep pool, it is not easy to fight.
In the end, Lu Da and Shi Xiu each held up a ladder, holding a shield in one hand and a knife in the other. They braved the rain of arrows, rushed up the city wall, killed the defenders, lowered the drawbridge, and finally captured the village.
At this time, Taigong Hu wanted to surrender again, but it was too late. He was caught by Liangshan generals and kidnapped and brought back.
By this time, the three villages were completely destroyed, and it only took less than half an hour.
Li Gui then set up a sacrifice on Dulong Gang, captured all the three families, cut their belly open, dug out their hearts, and paid homage to the two dead brothers.
Niu Wenzhong burst into tears and took it upon himself to cut off Zhu Chaofeng's head and enshrine it in front of his brother's spiritual throne.
After everything was done, all the properties of the three villages were counted and confiscated.
The old rule is to take away the wealth and divide the land equally.
It's just that it's already dark now, so it's inconvenient to do anything. Fortunately, all three families have been exterminated, and there's no need to worry about anyone counterattacking.
Li Gui left some minions to guard the place to prevent his belongings from being picked up, and took his brothers back to the mountain.
Besides, the banker who escaped from the village hurriedly rushed to Fucheng and reported the news of the fall of Dulonggang.
At this time, all Zhuangzi panicked.
Even in the Dongping Mansion, the Three Villages of Dulonggang are at the forefront. If they can't stop them, then the other villages will definitely not be able to stop them either.
A group of people immediately came to Song Jiang to pray.
After the person who sent the letter introduced all the information he knew, even Wu Yong was shocked.
He was secretly proud of letting these Zhuangzi form a deadly feud with Liangshan to see who would dare not work hard?
Unexpectedly, I panicked when I heard that Dulonggang Sanzhuang only lasted less than half an hour.
How can these Zhuangzi be so useless?
He asked hurriedly:
"What kind of strategy did the Liangshan thieves use to defeat the village, but they should be coordinated inside and outside?"
The banker shed tears and said:
"I didn't use any tactics, just attacked from the front and defeated the three villages."
"That Li Gui is so terrifying. He is like a monster. He is really invulnerable!"
"It's full of nonsense!" How could Wu Yong believe it? He pointed at the banker and cursed: "I've seen that Li Gui too, but he's just a little tougher than ordinary people. How come he's invulnerable?"
"That Li Gui must be wearing armor. It was dark and dark, but you didn't see clearly!"
When the banker saw that he was angry, he did not dare to refute, but said: "Maybe that's the case."
Wu Yong asked the other two villagers about their affairs, but this villager didn't know anymore.
Wu Yong then comforted everyone and said:
"Although Li Gui is fierce, he has no skills. The other two villages must have sent detailed operations, otherwise how could they have fallen so quickly?"
"Even in the Huangjiazhuang, there are people who can escape and report the news. How can the Hu and Li families not be able to do it?"
"Next time, as long as each village delays, there will be reinforcements in the city."
Now he brought out the fake Huang family dealer again, and the others, who didn't know it yet, believed his words and felt a little more at ease.
Wu Yong said again:
"Now that the Liangshan thieves have been defeated one by one, each village is no longer safe."
"In my opinion, all village owners might as well abandon their land and only bring gold, silver, soft goods, grain and grass into the city."
"If the Liangshan thieves come to invade, our soldiers will be well-prepared and our generals will be well-equipped. Even if Li Gui comes in person, we will not be able to break the Dongping Mansion."
After hearing this, everyone frowned and bowed their heads in silence.
It is said that it is hard to give up good money, so it is reasonable for them to behave like this. Wu Yong does not expect them to understand now. As long as Li Gui's attitude towards the gentry does not waver, they will bow to brother Song Jiang sooner or later.
After Wu Yong fooled them away, he sighed and said to Song Jiang:
"Oh, unexpectedly, my younger brother looked down upon them. I'm afraid they still won't be able to defend Dongping Mansion with their useless bunch."
"But I don't know how my brother's preparations are going?"
Song Jiang said:
"The construction of the warship will definitely not take three to five months. Now it is just a matter of renovating some boats and making them barely usable."
"As for the things in the Book of Heaven, they cost a lot of money and are very slow to produce results. I don't know how long it will take to achieve results."
"If it weren't for the full support of the imperial sage, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to do anything with our own strength!"
Wu Yong sighed and said:
"Brother, please urge me again!"
"That thief Li is very impatient in his work. The people in these villages may not be able to delay it for a long time."
"I don't have much time left in Dongping Mansion."
Going back to Liangshan, Li Gui kept doing nothing. Now that he had started, he simply completely uprooted all the remaining big Zhuangzi in Dongping Mansion.
He asked those brothers with high force value or those who had special skills to lead the team to attack the village, while those brothers with low force value were arranged to handle logistics.
Regardless of grain, grass, gold, silver, chickens, ducks, cattle, and sheep, whatever could be brought back to Liangshan was brought back and a place was specially opened in the back mountain for storage and breeding.
There are no farmers on the mountain, but many widows have been brought back from various villages to give wives to meritorious people. It is still possible to stay on the mountain to raise chickens and ducks, wash and mend.
There is no way, the situation in Liangshan is completely different from that in Yushan.
At the beginning, Yushan was too small and only operated in a few places. After finally occupying the county seat, the land was divided on a large scale. Before that, there were still a large number of families in the county who could not survive. Of course, they were willing to marry their daughters to the mountain.
As for Liangshan, Li Gui wiped out the small and medium-sized powerful people in the surrounding four counties as soon as he came up. The land was divided too early and too early. The ordinary farmers lived a good life, and no one wanted to go up the mountain to become a bandit wife.
Pan Jinlian now indeed has hundreds of strong women as his subordinates, and he no longer needs to do the work himself. He commands this and orders that every day, and finally finds the feeling of nodding his head to lead his wife.
It's just that she looks too weak and speaks softly. Those shrews are all big and round, and their voices are as loud as bells. How can they be willing to listen to her command, so many things happen to them.
It was hard for her to ask Li Gui, the leader of the village, to seek justice for this kind of family matter.
She had also approached her own officials, hoping that Wuhan University would support her, but although Wuhan University was no longer a coward, what could it do in the face of a group of women who were like wolves and tigers?
Is it possible that he still dares to take action?
Even if he really takes action, can he guarantee victory?
After several disgraceful troubles, Wuhan University stopped going to the back mountains to ask for trouble and let his wife figure out her own solution.
After Pan Jinlian was sad and disappointed, she no longer expected her to be a useless official. She only wanted to be ruthless and began to change her behavior and become more ruthless.
She was originally a snake-hearted woman, but now she was facing these women and made them submissive, so that no one dared to stab them again.
Compared to Wu Dalang, Pan Jinlian is more like a bandit!
