In the Juyi Hall on Liangshan, the current boss Chao Gai was talking to Song Jiang and the other leaders about the killing of Shi Qian and others.

Song Jiang said loudly: "Shi Qian and the others are also heroes, they were originally going to defect to our Liangshan, but the people of Zhujiazhuang killed them halfway, which is obviously not to take our Liangshan in their eyes!" ”

The others nodded in agreement, and said that Zhujiazhuang didn't take Liangshan in his eyes so much, it was really damned!

Li Kui was the most energetic and shouted loudly: "Zhujiazhuang looks down on us Liangshan so much, he should send troops to destroy them, so that all the heroes in the world know the breeze of our Liangshan!" ”

Song Jiang also took the opportunity to say: "Heavenly King, Tie Niu is right, it is time to show our Liangshan's means to deter the surrounding Xiaoxiao!" ”

Chao Gai thought for a while, nodded and said, "Okay, then send troops to Zhujiazhuang to avenge those three heroes!" ”

In fact, Song Jiang and Chao Gai both knew in their hearts that what was to avenge Shi Xiu and others was just an excuse to attack Zhujiazhuang. What Liangshan really needs is to sweep away the other forces in Dulonggang and seize their gold, silver, grain and grass to strengthen himself.

To put it bluntly, this matter is just a matter of grabbing land and grabbing people and food, of course, if you can promote the good reputation of Liangshan's righteousness by the way, it will be even better!

After getting Chao Gai's approval, Song Jiang went to the other leaders to arrange the dispatch of troops. The people on Liangshan soon got busy preparing for the attack on Zhujiazhuang.

At the same time, Hu Ye had been in Zhujiazhuang for two days, and he claimed to be a merchant who bought grain, and wanted to buy a batch of grain to Kaifeng. After throwing out a batch of money, Hu Ye has become the most popular guest in Zhujiazhuang.

The magic of money is endless, and at present, Hu Ye can enter the core area of Zhujiazhuang, and other places are already unimpeded.

Of course, Hu Ye is not traveling in Zhujiazhuang, but is familiar with the terrain and looking for a suitable location.

Although he doesn't have a good impression of the so-called Liangshan heroes, Hu Ye will not despise them. After all, there are many people on the Liangshan side, and if the front is hard and steel, Hu Ye will definitely not be their opponent. Therefore, Hu Ye planned to find a suitable place to fight cold guns, engage in some sabotage, and try to kill as many famous leaders as possible.

Although he didn't bring a gun with him this time, the compound crossbow is also a good weapon. At least within a hundred meters, it is still very threatening to deal with unsuspecting targets.

Hu Ye wandered around the periphery of Zhujiazhuang, looking for a suitable location for compound crossbow sniping. A young woman came running up on horseback, reined in her horse in front of him, and asked suspiciously, "Who are you?" Why hang out here? ”

This woman is very beautiful, and her phoenix eyes and willow eyebrows make her look heroic. Although she is riding on a horse, she can still see that her beautiful legs are long and strong, and she is obviously not the kind of woman who can't help but be weak.

Hu Ye said seriously: "My name is Hu Ye, I am a grain merchant in Kaifeng, I heard that there is cheap grain here in Dulonggang, so I came to buy some." ”

Hearing that Hu Ye was a grain merchant, the woman's expression softened a little, and she nodded to him and said, "If you have already bought grain, then leave here quickly, there will be a war soon!" ”

Hu Ye pretended to be surprised and asked, "How can there be a war?" Who fights with whom? ”

"It's Liangshan......" The woman stopped talking, flicked her whip in annoyance and said: "You are a businessman, leave as soon as you buy food, don't care so much!" ”

"Thank you girl for the reminder!" Hu Ye nodded gratefully, and then asked casually: "Please ask the girl's name, there will definitely be a reward in the future!" ”

Hu Ye said that "there will be a return in the future", and he felt a little weird.

Fortunately, this young girl has not been on the Internet, so she was naturally not polluted by the remarks of later generations, and said generously: "My name is Hu Sanniang, thank you for not needing, if you have the opportunity in the future, you can also go to our Hujiazhuang to buy grain!" ”

After saying this, Hu Sanniang hit the horse and ran to Zhujiazhuang. She had just received the news that Liangshan had sent troops to attack Zhujiazhuang, and she was in a hurry to report it.

Looking at Hu Sanniang's back, Hu Ye couldn't help muttering: "It turns out that this beautiful girl is Hu Sanniang, her legs are really long, no wonder her nickname is Yizhangqing." I didn't go to Hujiazhuang to buy grain...... I'm afraid I don't have a chance! ”

In the original Water Margin, Hu Ye has always been sympathetic to Hu Sanniang. A tall, young and beautiful girl was killed by the "heroes" on Liangshan, and even her fiancé's family was murdered, and finally she was forced to marry the lewd, lustful, short and ugly Wang Ying, who suffered very miserably.

Originally, Hu Ye only had some sympathy for Hu Sanniang, but seeing that Hu Sanniang kindly reminded him to leave as soon as possible, he couldn't help but feel a little more good for her, and secretly decided to help this poor girl if he could.

As Hu Ye expected, the people from Liangshan came soon. Song Jiang and several leaders led more than 10,000 horses and set up camp in Dulonggang Qian.

Song Jiang and others all felt that Liangshan was strong and strong, and it was not a problem to take the small Zhujiazhuang. No one knew that Hu Ye was monitoring the men and horses of Liangshan on the nearby mountain.

This is the first time Hu Ye has seen so many people gathered together, and it is really huge. This also made him more aware that he couldn't confront the entire Liangshan head-on on his own, so he could only act at the opportunity and see what he could gain.

The battle between the two sides soon began, and as in the original book, Song Jiang commanded Liangshan's men and horses to advance greedily, and soon fell into a dilemma on the labyrinthine road outside Zhujiazhuang.

The people of Zhujiazhuang took advantage of the geographical advantage and were always able to gather superior forces to attack the soldiers and horses of Liangshan, and the battle between the two sides was very fierce, and the Liangshan side suffered heavy losses. Hundreds of people were lost in one battle, and the others resisted desperately and managed to escape.

The defeated army is always very embarrassed, even if it is the leader of Liangshan.

Hua Rong and Wang Ying were the first to rush into Zhujiazhuang's territory, and their subordinates suffered the heaviest losses. The two of them rode in front, followed by two or three hundred remnants of soldiers, looking very embarrassed.

These people finally escaped, and one by one they lost their previous sharpness, and they only cared about running to the camp in Liangshan. It's just that these people didn't expect that Hu Ye was on the hillside dozens of meters away, looking at them coldly.

Hu Ye wears a camouflage uniform, which is difficult to spot in the shadow of plants. He carefully concealed himself, observing the men through the scope on the composite crossbow.

Hu Ye's target, of course, was the famous leader of Liangshan, and he observed the horseback riding Li Guanghua Rong and the bantam tiger Wang Ying through the scope, and finally lassoed the intersection of the crosshairs to Hua Rong, who was running in front, and shot a crossbow arrow at the target.

The crossbow arrow shot towards Hua Rong with a gentle scream, and flew over a distance of dozens of meters in the blink of an eye. The power of the compound crossbow at this distance was amazing, and it easily pierced through Hua Rong's armor and pierced deep into his ribs.

Hua Rong, who thought that he was safe, had no defense, and only after the severe pain in his ribs did he know that something was wrong, and he planted the horse with a scream.
