However, Wu Yong arrived the next day and after hearing about the battle situation, he proposed a plan, which was to let the new recruit Wei Chi and Sun Li sneak into Zhujiazhuang, find out the true and false, and then cooperate with the inside and outside, and then defeat Zhuangzi in one fell swoop.
This sick Wei Chi Sun Li is Luan Tingyu's younger brother. He was originally an official in Dengzhou. He committed a crime and escaped. The plan was to deceive Luan Tingyu into not knowing about it, and then come here to visit him in the name of swapping Dengzhou and Yunzhou. visit.
This plan was not without poison, and as expected, Zhujiazhuang was destroyed within ten days.
Hu Cheng from Hujiazhuang had gone to Songjiang's camp to give gifts and wanted to beg Songjiang to let Hu Sanniang go. Wu also used a poisonous trick to prevent his Hu family from rushing to rescue Zhujiazhuang. If they rescued him, they would not let her go back...
Zhujiazhuang was destroyed and blood flowed like a river. All the women were killed by Mrs. Gu with two knives.
Zhu Biao was the only one to escape. In his panic, he didn't even think about why Hujiazhuang didn't come to support him, so he just went there.
As soon as he arrived at the gate of Hujiazhuang, Hu Cheng pretended to open the door to welcome him, but secretly asked Zhuang Ding to throw him down and catch him. Then he tied him up and wanted to escort Song Jiang to see him so that he could exchange for Sanniang.
But at this moment, Li Kui led people to chase him here. When he was in the mood to kill, when he saw Zhu Biao, he immediately stepped forward and chopped off Zhu Biao's head with an axe. The villagers who dared to speak were all frightened. And scattered.
Li Kui's eyes were red at this time. When he saw Hu Cheng, Hu Cheng hurriedly said: "I have an appointment with Leader Song..."
Li Kui didn't care what he said, he just picked up the double ax again and watched Hu Cheng chop it.
Hu Cheng was stunned. He thought he had been tricked by Liangshan and felt sorry for his sister, so he avoided the ax, abandoned his home and fled to the northwest.
At this moment, Li Kui was succeeding in killing, and led his men to rush into Hu's village. At this time, they killed all of Taigong Hu's family, old and young, without leaving any one behind.
He also asked his minions to lead all the horses, load all the property in the village into forty or fifty packs and carry them out of the village gate. Then he lit a big fire and burned Hujiazhuang, feeling proud.
Song Jiang had already sat down in the main hall of Zhujiazhuang, and all the leaders came to offer their services. They captured four to five hundred people alive, captured hundreds of good horses, and captured countless cattle and sheep alive.
Suddenly, a minion came to report: "Brother, the black whirlwind killed the young and old men and women in Hujiazhuang, and set Zhuangzi on fire. They are reporting and recording their merits outside."
When Song Jiang heard this, his expression immediately changed and he said angrily: "Hu Cheng had come to surrender a few days ago, so how could he kill members of the Hu family? And burn down his family's courtyard?"
At this time, Li Kui came in covered in blood, with two Ban Ye stuck in his waist, and sang a big promise, saying: "Brother, Zhu Long was killed by his brothers, Zhu Biao was also beheaded by his brothers, Hu Cheng Na and his family are gone. They were all killed, and my brother came here to ask for credit."
Song Jiang's face was livid, and he shouted: "Zhu Long and Zhu Biao will be killed as soon as they are killed. Who told you to kill the people in Hujiazhuang?"
Li Kui didn't care and said: "I was able to chop smoothly. I chased Zhu Biao to Hujiazhuang. I happened to see Hu Chengjie and Zhu Biao coming out, and he was chopped down by me with an axe. Unfortunately, Hu Cheng's fellow was gone. In his village, someone had been killed." I killed no one."
Song Jiang said angrily: "You guy, who asked you to go? You don't know that Hu Cheng came to surrender a few days ago while carrying cows and wine. Why didn't he listen to my words and went to kill his family without authorization and deliberately violated my general order?"
Li Kui shook his head and said: "My brother has forgotten it. I must not forget that that guy's sister was chasing my brother to kill him, but today you want to do favors. You have never married his sister, so you are thinking about your brother-in-law and father-in-law." .”
Song Jiang's face turned red and black after hearing this, and he shouted: "You iron cow, don't talk nonsense! How can I accept this woman? I have my own way to deal with it. You are a black man, but there are a few people captured alive in several places." ?”
Li Kui replied: "I'm impatient. Wherever I can catch them alive, I'll chop them all up."
Song Jiang took a deep breath, and his expression turned extremely ugly: "You have violated my military orders and deserve to be beheaded, and you have taken away all the credit."
Li Kui smiled and said: "Although I lose the credit, I am happy to kill, so that's all."
Song Jiang was so angry that he trembled all over and drove him out. He sat on the chair and was no longer as happy as before.
At this time, Wu Yong led people in to report his merits, and he actually got countless gold and silver property, many cattle, sheep, chickens and geese, and even 500,000 shi of grain. They had been gathered together and loaded into the cart.
Song Jiang only thought about the affairs of the Hu family, but he couldn't ignore them, so he forced himself to be happy.
This time, Liangshan gained several new leaders, and they all came to meet them: Sun Li, Sun Xin, Jie Zhen, Jie Bao, Zou Yuan, Zou Run, Lehe, and Sister-in-law Gu.
Song Jiang was in a bad mood and had no more thoughts about bribery. After saying good things, he asked people to take an hour to clean up, then withdrew the camp and mounted their horses. The generals were divided into three teams and spread out. The front team whipped the golden mirror, and the back team The army sang a song of victory and returned to Liangshan.
One day later, Wu Yong used another evil trick and sent people pretending to be Zhizhou, Kongmu, Yifan, Yuhou, Jiezhi and others to win over Li Ying.
On the way to escort Li Ying from Jia Zhizhou, Liangshan troops suddenly appeared and "rescued" Li Ying directly to Liangshan.
Then Wu Yong sent people pretending to be officials and brought all the men and women, gold, silver, grain, rice, cattle, horses and livestock from Lijiazhuang to the mountain. A fire burned Lijiazhuang to the ground.
Li Ying finally heard the truth and could only complain secretly.
Chao Gai and Song Jiang both apologized at this time: "My brothers have heard about the reputation of high officials for a long time, so we implemented this plan. I hope that the high officials will forgive me."
Li Ying saw such words and had no choice but to obey and join the group.
When Song Jiang saw this, he shouted at his minions to kill cattle and sheep, and set up several tables for Li Ying to drink wine and apologize.
There was another big bragging in the main hall, and many heroes came together to have fun, but Song Jiang left early and went to Song Taigong's place.
As soon as they got there, they saw Hu Sanniang. Hu Sanniang had already gone to tie the rope. She was acting like a normal person, but her eyes were dull and she was silent.
Song Jiang knew that she already knew about Hujiazhuang, and found it difficult to explain, so he sighed and wanted to leave, but then went out and came back again, and saw the two servant ladies looking at each other.
This went back and forth several times, and finally he invited Song Taigong and asked someone to call Song Qing back to him at the banquet.
The two were puzzled, and Song Jiang said: "Since Sanniang is going up the mountain, she must also be a leader."
Hu Sanniang looked at him without saying a word, and Song Jiang added: "Now we have to accept her as our kin. My father will accept her as his daughter, and I will accept her as my sister."
Neither of them had objections, and Song Jiang looked at Hu Sanniang again.
Hu Sanniang nodded after a moment, and Song Jiang breathed a sigh of relief and went out, but his heart was empty, as if he had lost something.
On the second day, Liangshan formally discussed meritorious service and rewarded the troops. The three armies, large and small, had their own rewards. A large banquet was held and a banquet was made to invite the leaders.
At the banquet, Song Jiang said to Wang Xiaohu: "Brother, when I was at Qingfeng Mountain, I promised you a marriage, and I have always kept it in my heart and never forgotten it. Today, my father has accepted my goddaughter and I will take you as my son-in-law. "
Song Jiang went to invite Song Taigong and led Hu Sanniang to the banquet.
When Wang Dwarfhu saw it, his eyes immediately straightened, and his catfish-like mouth would not close even if it opened.
Song Jiang walked up to Hu Sanniang and said, "My brother is called Wang Ying. I promised him a marriage, but it never happened. Today, sister Xian, you have recognized my father. All the leaders are matchmakers. Now It’s a good and auspicious day, so Xianmei will marry Wang Ying.”
Everyone at the banquet was delighted when they heard this, and just when they were about to praise Song Gongming for being a virtuous and righteous man, a voice suddenly sounded: "This is not allowed!"
Everyone was shocked and went to look for the source of the sound and saw that it was Lin Chong.
