Hu Sanniang is engaged to Zhu Biao, the third son of Zhu Chaofeng, the master of the Zhu Family Village. Hostile to the bandits of Liangshan, the Zhus refuse to release [[Shi Qian]], whom they have captured after he stole a rooster for meal from an inn they own while on the way to join the stronghold. Song Jiang leads a military attack on the Zhus to settle the acrimony. After its futile first offensive, Liangshan launches a second one, which draws Hu Sanniang to come to the aid of the Zhus.
 
Hu Sanniang comes charging on a horse at Song Jiang's army, from whose ranks emerges [[Wang Ying (Water Margin)|Wang Ying]], who is excited to see a pretty lady warrior and believes she is an easy prey. However, he underestimates the amazon, who detects that the guyhe has some indecent intent. Overwhelming Wang with her sabres, she suddenly leans forward, pulls him off his horse and throws him to the ground. ZhusZhu's men rush forward to tie Wang up.
 
Hu Sanniang shows no sign of weariness as she battles with [[Ou Peng]] and then [[Ma Lin (Water Margin)|Ma Lin]]. Suddenly Song Jiang finds himself being pursued by Hu on horse as his troops retreat in disarray. Hu comes close to seizing him when [[Lin Chong]] appears and sets upon her. She is defeated and seized by the far superior fighter. Song Jiang sends her in captivity to Liangshan, where she is placed under the watch of his father.
