Looking at Li Xuanyuan nodding, Zhou Shulan’s eyes flashed slightly, and then she said, “Shulan said that the prince was wrong because Shulan believed in the great talent of the New Emperor of the Later Zhou Dynasty. The New Emperor of the Later Zhou Dynasty did want to unify the world, but this first step of unification is definitely not an enemy of the Great Liao.” “Oh? Let’s continue.” This time, Li Xuanyuan became a little interested.
“The Great Liao army is strong, and the Later Zhou will not take the lead in taking action against the Great Liao. After all, the New Emperor of the Later Zhou will not do anything thankless.”
Speaking of this, Zhou Shulan paused slightly, and then said, “So, if the Later Zhou wants to imitate the Qin Dynasty to unify the world, they must have a far-reaching and nearby attack. Western Shu may be the goal of the Later Zhou.”
“Western Shu?” Li Xuanyuan raised his eyebrows. Isn’t Western Shu adjacent to the northwest? What if the Later Zhou attacked Shu? Maybe he can make a simple deal with Rong Zimu.
“If you tell me this, aren’t you afraid that I will regret not helping the Liao Dynasty?” Li Xuanyuan looked at Zhou Shulan and asked with interest.
The woman in front of him gave him unexpected surprises, but he would not show mercy on some things.
“The prince is so stupid. The Liao Dynasty is the Liao Dynasty, and Zhou Shulan is Zhou Shulan. What the prince knows today is only related to Zhou Shulan and has nothing to do with the Liao Dynasty. Isn’t it?” Zhou Shulan replied with a faint smile.
As long as Li Xuanyuan is not a fool, he would not take the initiative to tell Da Liao that what happened today was told by her Zhou Shulan.
Otherwise, although the Liao Dynasty would not let him go, he would definitely not let Li Xuanyuan go, or the Northwest.
“You are smart. If you work with a woman like you, I don’t know if the foundation of the Yelu Han family is enough to sell it?” Li Xuanyuanchun is the kind of person who only likes to watch the fun.
After hearing Li Xuanyuan’s words, Zhou Shulan pondered for a while, and then said, “Has the prince been misunderstood? Shulan never meant to betray the Liao Dynasty. Shulan just provided a guess for the prince. What exactly depends on the Zhou Lord and how to decide.”
“Western Shu is adjacent to the northwest area, and is a barbarian land. If Rong Zimu wants to accept Western Shu, it will only take a few months. However, the barbarians come from the north and often harass the northwest area, causing trouble for the people. If I want the people in the northwest to live and work in peace, I must cooperate with the Later Zhou to eliminate the barbarians. To destroy the barbarians, I must help the Later Zhou and destroy the second lady of Western Shu. This strategy is linked together. Did you really think of it?”
If this plan can be achieved, then Western Shu will be destroyed, and the barbarians will be expelled from the grassland and fled to the extreme north. It is not easy to make a comeback.
For the northwest, without the harassment and infringement of barbarians, the people will naturally be able to raise horses and sheep and live a peaceful life, so he, the Southern King, can be considered competent.
As for the Later Zhou Dynasty, Western Shu was recaptured and the territory was expanded, covering the Yellow River.The territory of the river basin has created a natural danger between the Great Liao and the Southern Tang Dynasty.
Although the Southern Tang and the Great Liao are now in-law countries, if the Later Zhou severed the trade route between the Great Liao and the Southern Tang, it would cause turmoil between the two countries.
This friendship built on nepotism is very easy to break.
Once the relationship between the Great Liao and the Southern Tang collapses, the chess pieces planted in the Southern Tang, or the stakes pressed by the Southern Tang in the Great Liao, can be reused. Thinking of this, Li Xuanyuan looked at Zhou Shulan with some vigilance. If Zhou Shulan’s purpose was this at the beginning, then Zhou Shulan’s scheming was too deep.

A little.
Nowadays, the relationship between the Great Liao and the Southern Tang is friendly. Although some people need to inform others, they will never pay too much attention.
