Hostile to the bandits of Liangshan, the Zhus refuse to release Shi Qian, whom they have captured after he stole a rooster for a meal from an inn they own while on the way to join the stronghold.

Hu Sanniang comes charging on a horse at Song Jiang's army, from whose ranks emerges Wang Ying, who is excited to see a pretty lady warrior and believes she is an easy prey.

Hu Sanniang shows no sign of weariness as she battles with Ou Peng and then Ma Lin.

Song also arranges for her to marry Wang Ying in fulfilment of his promise at Mount Qingfeng to find him a wife.

Hu Sanniang is appointed as one of the leaders of Liangshan's cavalry after the 108 Stars of Destiny came together in what is called the Grand Assembly.

She participates in the campaigns against the Liao invaders and rebel forces in Song territory following amnesty from Emperor Huizong for Liangshan.

Over-anxious to avenge her husband, Hu is killed by Zheng's flying magical gold bricks.
