Chapter Seventy-Seven: Finding the Way

There were a hundred reed sticks to open the way, Li Yao and the others really didn't suffer from mosquitoes, and walked to the bottom of the waterfall, looking at this raging waterfall, Li Yao was worried about how to go up!

It is obviously impossible to go up from the waterfall, the rocks there are too slippery, and if you don't pay attention, you will fall, it seems that you can only climb up from the trees next to it, but fortunately the trees of this waterfall are very tall, and the vines that fall from the cliff are strong enough!

The two old hunters, after more than a day of running, were already tired, so Li Yao asked them to watch the horses under the mountain range, while he and ten guards climbed up to the mountain range, ready to find a route. Before going up the mountain, Li Yao instructed the two hunters to wait for him under the mountain range for four or five days. If you haven't come back in five days, you can go back!

The rattan is difficult to climb, although the rattan is hard enough to support Li Yao's weight, but because it is next to the waterfall, the water vapor is too heavy, and the hands will be stained with water after a while, resulting in very slippery hands. If you don't pay attention, you'll slide down!

The most important thing in climbing rattan is to wrap the legs tightly, and climbing up depends on the strength of the legs. Li Yao used to climb ropes often during military training, so it was not difficult to climb rattans, and after a little effort, he climbed up!

Li Yao never expected that the mountains were also rich in water and grass. Wang Dazhuang and the ten guards also quickly climbed up, Li Yao didn't know how wide this mountain range was, but looking at the river flowing on the mountain, he could guess that this mountain range was definitely not narrow, because no one had walked on the mountain range, so every step needed to be very careful, there were too many dark pits here, and it was rugged, and if you didn't pay attention, you would stumble.

Walking along the river, the vegetation gradually decreased, and after walking for about two or three miles, Li Yao found that this was a road blocked by a snow-capped mountain, and the water flowed down from the mountain. Li Yao's clothes were not thick, and he shivered unconsciously, it seems that the temperature here is not high.

This altitude is estimated to be more than two thousand meters, and your troops can't pass through this place, even if they can't take a detour from the foot of the mountain, otherwise with the low temperature here, you can make the troops lose their strength non-combat, and it seems that you have to find other roads!

In the two or three miles he had just walked, Li Yao had observed, and there was no other way, and it seemed that only by crossing this snow-capped mountain could he find a way to find it.

Li Yao climbed to the top of the small mountain and looked at the terrain, so he made a decision to bypass the snowy mountain from the path next to it!

Because it is a snow-capped mountain caused by low temperatures, it is definitely possible to get around it as long as it is at a low altitude.

Don't mention how difficult it is to walk on the road under the snow mountain, because the snow turns into water under the snow mountain, and Li Yao can only wade through the water in many places, and the temperature is not to mention how low the temperature is, every time he walks for a while, Li Yao must stop and rub his feet, otherwise his feet will cramp and even lose consciousness.

The mountains of Yiguo are notoriously steep, because the strong winds from the west are blocked by these mountains, and the perennial strong winds have weathered these stones, and some places will shatter when stepped on, so Li Yao must take a sword and pestle first every step to see if the knot is strong!

This snow-capped mountain can be regarded as a small snow-capped mountain, but it is also relative to this mountain range, Li Yao wants to bypass this snow-capped mountain, and he can't walk to the opposite side without twenty or thirty miles!

Because there was only one day's dry food, Li Yao didn't dare to eat it casually, but fortunately, Wang Dazhuang caught some fish when he waded across the river!

Li Yao was very curious about whether these fish lived in this river all year round, because there was a waterfall below, and ordinary fish could not swim up! It's just that when I think about it, the snowy mountains on the mountains are very unstable, and the rivers are often diverted. So it could also be the fish left on it when the river was diverted!

Since there is no need to worry about food, then Li Yao took out the dry food and ate it, although it is almost summer now, and the weather is very hot, but at the foot of the snow mountain, Li Yao is still surrounded by cold air, at this time, only by eating more and maintaining the heat on the body can he walk better!

It took three or four hours for Li Yao and his entourage to get out of this small snow mountain! There is a lake on the inside of the snow-capped mountain, which is the result of the snow-capped mountains and accumulating into a lake!

Since there is a lake, there must be a river, and the terrain of the mountains on the south side of this area is relatively high, so the water must flow down to the north, and from the north, it is in the territory of Qi Province. So he called the guards and asked the guards to work in groups of two to find the sewer in the north, the width of this mountain range Li Yao could not estimate, but with the original geographical knowledge, the width of this mountain range was definitely not narrow, Li Yao probably remembered that the widest place was hundreds of miles wide.

With a width of several hundred miles, with Li Yao's ten guards, there is no way to find a way out, and the road in the mountains is rugged, even if it can go down alone, there is no way to transport the army, an army of 100,000 people, just grain and grass need thousands of loads every day. There's no way to run in a place like this!

Therefore, only by finding an easy and short road can we ensure that the army can march over!

The mountains are wide and narrow, and the narrow mountains are estimated to be only a few dozen miles, but the narrow mountains are definitely the steepest. But Li Yao was not worried at all, he had explosives, and 10,000 catties of explosives was not enough, so 100,000 catties of explosives, and he had 5,000 criminal personnel to make explosives for himself. No matter how difficult the mountain range is, it can be leveled, the key issue is time, within three months, the road must be opened, so I have to hurry up the time.

Li Yao wanted to start bombing the mountain from Qi Country first, so that he would have enough time to complete the deployment. But the action of blowing up the mountain is too big, there are 300,000 people in Yi County, Li Yao can't watch so many people, if it is spread out, everyone will pay attention to Li Yao, if this is the case, then the three northern counties of Yiguo, which were originally very easy to occupy, are estimated to be difficult to occupy a lot!

Because there is only one mountain range between Yi County and the three northern counties, blowing up the mountain range, the north of Yiguo will be connected to Qi State. Li Yao doesn't believe that Yiguo is a fool, the mountains have exploded, and Qi Guo will still live in peace with Yiguo!

Since the north is low and the south is high, then the main search for the north is also considered Li Yao's luck, there is no half an hour, the guards report to Li Yao and find a river.

Li Yao was overjoyed, hurry up and let the guards take him to see it!

Li Yao looked at the river channel that was several zhang wide, and it seemed that it should be the main river channel flowing to Qi Kingdom!

The road next to the river is really difficult, looking at this steep terrain, Li Yao didn't dare to go down on a bamboo raft! There is no way, only to go down slowly, the river here, the way of flowing water is biased towards the waterfall, which proves that this mountain range is very narrow, very in line with Li Yao's requirements, carefully go down, to a platform below, Li Yao found a larger river, this river is composed of several waterways, but a large part of it is composed of water flowing down from the river channel of the lake that Li Yao just discovered, it seems that the lake that has just been discovered is a relatively large lake with a radius of more than ten miles!

This river Li Yao looked a little familiar, and Li Yao seemed to have heard the roar of a waterfall a mile or two away.

Hurry up and run to the waterfall a mile or two away, lie on the mountain peak next to it and look down, this place is actually the waterfall that opened the mountain and diverted water last time!

It seems that this is also a mountain away from Qi country. It only takes two or three hours to set foot in Yi County. Li Yao hung his clothes on the tree next to the waterfall, and tied them sturdily as a marker. It seems that when the time comes, it will only be necessary to blow up the road from this place!

It was already dark, but Li Yao didn't feel tired of walking for a day, his heart was full of excitement, it seemed that he hadn't wasted his day today, and the road was just around the corner!
