He could not forgive those people. Even if he was still in the Southern Palace, if he knew about this, he would definitely use all his strength to make those people regret their actions.
"Actually, they weren't the ones hiding it from you. You were far away in a foreign country, isolated and helpless, so they weren't afraid at all." Lin Su stroked his long hair and said, "It was your queen mother who hid it from you. She was afraid that after you found out, you would disregard everything else and even risk your life for revenge. Revenge must be taken, and taken personally, but you don't have to take those people to heart. The ones you should really take to heart are your queen mother and your three-year-old nephew. They are still your living relatives, huh?"
Lin Su's tone was gentle and soothing. Li Yuan hadn't cried just now, but now his eyes were filled with unbearable tears. He buried his head in Lin Su's clothes, not caring about the guards watching him. "Why are you so good to me?"
"Because you're worth it." Lin Su patted his back like a child, "Cry if you want to. No one will dare to laugh at you while I'm here."
The guards standing by were originally making eye contact with each other, but they all lowered their heads when they heard what was said. They didn't dare to laugh at him, but they just felt that their Majesty was indeed extraordinary. Noble sons or ladies from famous families could ever compare to the honorable position of the Queen Mother, and yet their Majesty had abducted the one with the highest status with just one move.
The big ship went upstream without stopping in between. Although Li Yuan was anxious, he knew that it was useless to be anxious at this time. Fortunately, he was a patient person and knew what he wanted. When he was studying, he really wanted to empty out all the knowledge in Lin Su's belly, but the more he wanted to empty it, the more he found that it was like a drop in the ocean and was far from reaching this person's limit.
Conquering Li was imperative. Li Yuan knew Li's terrain well. "Li is mountainous, unlike Liang, which was a plain. Attackers often gave up halfway because they couldn't keep up with the subsequent food and supplies. But Li is different. Just here, facing the South, there are mountains and natural dangers. It's easy to attack from within Li, but attacking from the South is mostly cliffs and difficult to climb."
It was easy to attack the Southern Kingdom because there was waterway support, and the Duke Kangguo in the border area had long ceased to be loyal to Emperor Yuanhe. The time, place and people were all right, and Emperor Yuanhe's defeat was not unfair.
But Li State was different. Qi State did not have an advantage in terms of geographical location. It was possible to sneak in and replace a person who was not valued, but it was impossible to break through the siege and kill the mother and son.
As for his father, he didn't want him to die in the past. After all, he was his father, the man his mother loved. But now... he wanted him to die.
If he had not been so indulgent in the deaths of his brother and sister-in-law, who would have been capable of killing the eldest son of a country?
"With this natural barrier, it's like one man blocking the way against ten thousand." Lin Su deduced with him on the sand table, "Even if we climb up the cliffs, the soldiers' physical strength will be exhausted if we want to enter the capital of Li from there."
Today's Li State was also the most easily defended and difficult to attack line of defense of the Qi Dynasty. When the Li State occupied this place, they had to fill the ditches with human lives to occupy this sacred place with advantageous geographical location.
"In fact, if you occupy this place and establish your capital here, the capital will definitely be safe." Li Yuan suggested.
"In times of peace, be prepared for danger. If we become too safe, the royal family will become complacent." Lin Su said with a smile, pointing to a high ground dozens of miles away from the capital of Li. "It is said that this place is a natural barrier of Li. The cliffs are as smooth as if they were cut by a heavenly knife. Because it is so dangerous, there are no guards. If we enter the territory of Li from here, will no one notice?"
"Your Majesty also said that the terrain there is extremely steep and precipitous, with nowhere to stand, let alone climb," Li Yuan said. "It's extremely difficult even from the front."
"What if we use a rope ladder?" Lin Su asked again.
Li Yuan thought for a moment and said, "The rope ladder is too long. I'm afraid it can't bear the weight. The soldiers will probably give up halfway up."
Once you lose your strength in such a dangerous situation, your life would be in danger.
Lin Su rubbed his chin and said, "That's true, but have you heard of nylon ropes and pulleys?"
He touched upon an area that Li Yuan didn't know about, which made him extremely curious: "What is that?"
Lin Suzhao asked someone to take out the two things and handed them to him: a bundle of ropes and a round pulley.
Perhaps others would not know how to use it, but Li Yuan was naturally extremely sensitive to such mechanical devices. If such a pulley was used, only one person would need to climb up, and a heavy object would be placed on the other end and dropped off the cliff to pull the person up. If it was fixed with stones, the rope would inevitably wear out easily, but with something like this, everything would become extremely simple. It might not be smooth elsewhere, but on that flat cliff, it would just take some effort.
Li Yuan pulled the rope and felt that it was extremely tough, not comparable to ordinary straw ropes.
"How about these two?" Lin Su asked.
Li Yuan took a deep breath and said, "If we have these two things, the natural barrier will collapse on its own, and no one will be able to stop the Qi army's invasion."
When the natural barrier is no longer a natural barrier, the capital of Li will no longer be safe.
"I've reached this dangerous place. If you were in the capital of Li, how would you stop me?" Lin Su pointed his finger there, reminding him that the two of them were still simulating the war.
It looks like deduction, but it is actually teaching. If such one-on-one teaching were to be spread out, all the soldiers in the world would be envious. However, Li Yuan fell into deep thought again and felt a headache.
"Although you can lead people to occupy dangerous areas, you cannot directly enter the capital. This method seeks a quick victory. If you intend to attack, I will order that the city gates cannot be opened and all people coming and going must be checked. If I know where your soldiers are gathering, I will directly burn that place at the foot of the mountain. You can't evacuate quickly." Li Yuan said after serious consideration.
This move is vicious, but it directly cuts off the enemy's retreat. If more troops are sent to garrison here, it will not be so easy to climb up this natural barrier.
Lin Su showed no sign of difficulty. Li Yuan looked at him and asked, "How are you going to crack it?"
"Who told you that I have to go down the mountain before entering the city?" Lin Su said with a smile.
Li Yuan was a little puzzled: "If you don't go down the mountain into the city, are you going to fly in? Even if you are a god descending from heaven, you won't have such a good Qinggong."
When he said this, he looked at Lin Su hesitantly: "Do you really have a way to fly into the city?"
Lin Su laughed and said, "My queen is indeed extremely intelligent. She was able to guess this, which makes the heirs of the Li Kingdom seem like fools."
Li Yuan asked curiously, "What's the method?"
This person is always unexpected, which makes him really curious.
"I've already told you about the existence of the pulley and nylon rope. I feel a bit disadvantageous if I tell you again." Lin Su said with a smile, "Why don't you guess it yourself?"
He was about to stand up, but Li Yuan grabbed his sleeve. The young boy looked up and said, "How could I have guessed that?"
