Chapter 273 The Battle of Liantai

Li You sat on a small hillside, and the weeds around him began to turn green gradually. Unknown wild flowers bloomed in the grass. There were no traces of snow on the top of the mountain in the distance, and there were no traces of floating ice on the river below the mountain. It seemed that it should be the turn of spring and summer now.

Judging from the types of trees in the forest, my current location should be north of the Yangtze River. The report was in the eighth year of Yonghe in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, but I threw me to the north of the Yangtze River. What is the reason? Li You looked at the branches in his hand and frowned and thought, what important war happened in the eighth year of Yonghe in the Eastern Jin Dynasty?

"The mountain in front is Changshan, and the river below is Fengshui." The voice of the tiger talisman suddenly sounded, but this still failed to relieve Li You's doubts. I only remember Changshan is Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong's hometown, but Zhao Yun had been dead for more than a hundred years at this time, and it had nothing to do with him. As for Fengshui, I have never heard of Fengshui.

"The place on the banks of the Lishui River is called Liantai." While frowning and thinking hard, Hu Fu added another sentence. This familiar name finally evoked Li You's memory, "What? Liantai? Is this mission the battle of Liantai?" Li You jumped up immediately. If this is the case, this mission will not be easy to complete.

"That's true. The host's mission this time is to help Ran Min defeat Murong Ke, the general of the Great Yan auxiliary country, and win the victory of the Battle of Liantai. Follow the path at the foot of the mountain to reach the military camp of the Great Wei." After that, Hu Fu's voice stopped, and no matter how Li You shouted, he received no response.

"I knew I wouldn't always encounter easy tasks like the Battle of Taizhou, but this task is too difficult and challenging, right?" Li You secretly cried in his heart. Although he had experienced Jiangnan tasks like Zhang Qian's opening of the Western Regions and the Battle of Suiyang before, he could still see the chance of victory at that time, but this time it was very different.

Although Zhang Qian was open to the Western Regions, although there were only more than 100 people around him, the Huns could not control the entire territory at that time. Li You's team had considerable freedom of movement and could avoid the main force of the Huns under the leadership of Chen Qingzhi and attack their weaknesses. In the Battle of Suiyang, there was a city wall to guard against the enemy, and he could use the advantages of the city wall to kill and damage the enemy; in addition, Chen Qingzhi and Zhang Xun's command ability was far beyond the Central Bank of China. It was reasonable that Yin Ziqi and other enemy generals could win in a dangerous situation.

The battle between Liantai is very different. Murong Ke, the general of the Dayan auxiliary country, had an army of 100,000. He himself was also a famous general. He was later praised as one of the top ten famous generals of the 16 countries. Naturally, he would not be as easy as Zhongxing said, Yin Ziqi; while Ran Min of the Dawei only had 10,000 soldiers and horses, and was trapped in the dilemma of the Dawei, he had to fight Murong Ke in Liantai.

Moreover, almost all the 10,000 troops led by Ran Min were infantry, but Murong Ke had a large number of cavalry under his command. Murong Ke was not afraid that this battle would turn into a protracted battle, but Ran Min had to fight quickly. It was not easy to defeat the cavalry quickly with infantry? It can be said that the right time, place, people and people were not on Ran Min's side, so it was so difficult to win.

Staying in the same place and thinking hard is not the solution. Let's go around and observe for a while before talking about it. Li You took out the Tang sword and the Zhentian bow and matched it with him. He did not follow the instructions of the tiger talisman and directly followed the path to look for Ran Min, but instead looked around with the cover of the jungle.

Sun Tzu's Art of War says: Knowing yourself and your enemy will never be defeated in a hundred battles. Li You now only has a vague understanding of Murong Ke and Ran Min's army, so how can he come up with a good solution? Therefore, it is necessary to conduct a reconnaissance on the military strength of both sides first.

In the future, he had to join Ran Min to serve under his command. He had time to observe the situation of the Great Wei army, so he had to look at Murong Ke's army first. After deciding on the goal, Li You thought about where to find Murong Ke's army. He looked around and found a big tree and climbed up and looked around for a while. Finally, he saw a series of smoke rising from the north.

Judging from the number of smoke from cooking, there are quite a few people here, and it is not where Ran Min's army was instructed by Hu Fu just now. It seems that it is very likely that Murong Ke's residence is located.

Since he had decided on the goal, Li You immediately walked towards the direction where the smoke from the cooking stove rose; he did not dare to move on the road at the foot of the mountain, so he could only follow the cover of the jungle and overcome all difficulties along the way. The smoke from the cooking stove looked very close, but it was extremely far away when walking. Until night fell, Li You still did not see the other party's camp. He had to find a big tree to climb up and use a rope to trap himself on the branch and rest with his eyes.

After enduring the howling of wolf and insects, Li You finally survived the night. When the sky was dawn, he opened his eyes and untied the rope and observed it. He did not find the path of the Great Yan Army. Then he climbed under the tree to solve the problem of eating and drinking. Fortunately, the wild survival skills he learned from Tangyi's father when he led the Great Han delegation across the Western Regions had not been forgotten by him. He did not spend much time to find a mountain stream, filled the water bag and drank it hard, and then took out some fish and shrimp from the water to temporarily fill his stomach. Li You embarked on a journey to find the Great Yan Army again.

From time to time, he climbed up a big tree to determine his position, and kept waving the precious Tang sword to split the thorns blocking the road. Soon, the Tang sword was stained with a layer of grass-green juice. If the owner of this treasure sword saw the current scene, he would probably scold Li You for wasting his resources?

Until noon that day, Li You finally saw the traces of the Great Yan Army; Murong Ke is worthy of being a famous general of a generation, and the camp is extremely strict. Li You peeked for a long time but did not find any flaws. Even using the Hawkeye skill did not work; and there were countless sentry detectives around the camp patrolling, which gave him no chance to get close to and carefully observe.

After counting the number of tents and fortresses that caught his eyes carefully, Li You knew that the 100,000 troops recorded in historical books did not have much exaggeration, and perhaps Murong Ke's deployment was more than this number.

I couldn't see clearly from afar, and it was a bit dangerous to get close. Did I just go back without getting anything? Li You was a little unwilling to accept it after all, and retracted his head and leaned against the big tree to think about it carefully.

Alas, it would be great if General Chen was by his side now. With his eyes, he would definitely see more things. Li You couldn't help but miss the time when Chen Qingzhi was with him.

Huh? It seems that I have a commander who is stronger than Chen Qingzhi now? And he also has experience in combating a large army. It seems that he can summon him here to help me observe it? (To be continued.)
