There were only less than five rooms in total.
Let alone providing housing for a bunch of ordinary henchmen,
These houses,
It would only be enough for Song Jiang and his few leaders to share.
"You two idiots! You've ruined my plans!"
Song Jiang's face darkened.
He snatched the broadsword from Lei Heng's hand.
They were about to go and kill the Kong brothers.
Sun Li quickly stepped forward and stopped him.
“Clerk, things have come to this point, what’s the use of teaching them a lesson now?”
“Clerk, Commander Sun is right,”
Wu Yong also spoke up.
"It's freezing cold here,"
"The most important thing right now is to tidy up some of the rooms,"
“These five or six hundred people need a place to shelter from the wind at night.”
"Otherwise, it will be freezing cold at night,"
"I'm afraid people will freeze to death!"
Pulled by Sun Li,
After listening to Wu Yong's advice,
Song Jiang had no choice but to drop his broadsword.
He glared hatefully at his two disciples who were hiding in the distance.
"come over!"
"Master, we're coming over, please don't hit us again?"
Kongming shouted, shrinking his head.
"If you don't come over here right now, I'll have someone show you both your heads!"
Song Jiang's face turned ashen as he roared.
The two brothers, Kongming and Kongliang, came over with trepidation.
Wu Yong immediately asked them to describe the current situation of Erlong Mountain Stronghold.
"Strategist, this stronghold is still relatively intact,"
Kongming quickly replied,
"That is, the original main hall and side hall of Erlong Temple."
"We've already rested in both of these main halls,"
"The rest of the buildings in the rear hall were mostly burned to ashes,"
"But with some tidying up, we can manage to put together thirty or forty rooms before sunset."
"Then why aren't you taking people to work!"
Song Jiang kicked Kongming hard.
"If we can't get fifty rooms ready by tonight,"
"I'll use your heads to answer to everyone!"
Since we've come this far,
The two brothers naturally knew that given Song Jiang's attitude towards them,
Maybe they really will keep their word.
They hurriedly led their henchmen to the back to tidy up the rooms.
Song Jiang and Wu Yong also quickly made arrangements.
Either repair the house or gather firewood.
These five or six hundred men followed Song Jiang to Erlong Mountain to become his henchmen.
I originally thought there would be hot water and food available when I arrived.
Who would have thought it would turn out like this?
Not only was there no food,
Even their living quarters have to be cleaned by themselves!
For a while,
The henchmen were naturally full of complaints.
Song Jiang had no choice.
He could only make promises to everyone.
After tidying up the room,
They then gave each person a reward of one string of cash.
This reduced the number of complaints from the henchmen.
Lei Heng and Sun Li, along with their henchmen,
Go help Kongming and Kongliang tidy up the house.
Wu Yong then accompanied Song Jiang.
We started wandering around Erlong Mountain.
"Erlong Mountain is actually a good place,"
Wu Yong introduced the scenery of each place,
There is only one road leading up and down the mountain.
"As long as we hold that road,"
"To conquer Erlong Mountain would be as difficult as ascending to heaven."
"Back then, we followed King Chao,"
"They also used a trick, pretending to want to go up the mountain to seek refuge,"
"That's how we fooled that Tiger Deng and sneaked into the mountain stronghold,"
"Then they killed Deng Laohu in one fell swoop and seized Erlong Mountain."
"Later, Qin Ming was able to conquer Erlong Mountain,"
"We suffered the same loss."
"None of us expected that the Qingzhou army, which had already surrendered, would actually rebel again,"
"That's why we lost Erlong Mountain,"
"And Qin Ming burned the mountain to the ground."
"If that's the case, we just need to retake the passes on that mountain path,"
Song Jiang said with delight,
"Even if there are many soldiers from Liangshan,"
"And they can all be stopped?"
"It can be blocked,"
Wu Yong nodded.
"But dealing with Erlong Mountain is actually quite simple,"
"That means sending troops to besiege them!"
"We only brought a thousand shi (a unit of grain measure) from Liangshan this time,"
"Although we have plenty of gold, silver, and money, it's not enough to fill our stomachs..."
Chapter 1314 Stockpiling Grain
"In other words, if we want to protect Erlong Mountain,"
Song Jiang understood the meaning behind Wu Yong's words.
"Do we need to stock up on more food?"
"Um,"
Wu Yong nodded.
"Although few people in Shandong dare to provoke Liangshan nowadays,"
"But the imperial court won't just leave them alone forever,"
"At most, we can hold onto Erlong Mountain for about six months,"
"Then Liangshan will definitely retreat no matter what,"
"Of course, that's the worst-case scenario."
"As long as Zhao Dalang and his group don't have concrete evidence,"
"In any case, Liangshan won't attack us for no reason."
"In any case, it's always good to be prepared,"
Song Jiang said with a stern face,
"After the houses in the village are repaired,"
"Then he ordered Commander Sun to lead his troops down the mountain,"
"Go and borrow grain from a nearby village."
"Clerk, you must be careful about this matter of borrowing grain,"
Wu Yong reminded him,
"We'll only plunder the wealthy and heartless ones,"
"If they rob ordinary people,"
Even without Chao Tianwang's involvement,
"I'm afraid Liangshan won't let us off the hook either."
"Rest assured, strategist."
Song Jiang said nonchalantly,
"Commander Sun is a clever man,"
"I trust him to get things done."
Wu Yong quietly shook his head.
Seeing that Song Jiang didn't care,
He could only remain silent.
He then led Song Jiang on a tour around Erlong Mountain.
"I didn't expect there to be so much farmland behind this mountain?"
Song Jiang asked in surprise,
"This was cultivated by you, strategist?"
