For ordinary people, who is the ruler is not really important; what matters is what kind of ruler can enable them to live a good life.
If Beili could be incorporated into the territory of Da Chu, the people of Beili would also become subjects of Da Chu.
In that case, Senior Brother would not stand idly by and watch the people of Great Chu suffer from cold and hunger in winter. In this way, the people of Northern Li would no longer have to worry about the hardships of winter.
This might not be a bad thing for the people of Beili.
After Yue Ling left, Xiao Yanchu went to Su Ruojin's room.
"But what's going on in Bei Li?" Su Ruojin asked.
Judging from Yue Ling's expression, she guessed that something important was going on, something related to Yue Ling, and something that required her to see Xiao Yanchu. The only important thing was Bei Li.
Su Ruojin knew that Yue Ling didn't talk to her because she looked down on her or anything, but because she thought that Su Ruojin had just given birth and she didn't want to bother her with such things.
Xiao Yanchu smiled, not surprised that Su Ruojin could guess Yue Ling's purpose.
"You can see through anything. Yue Ling came to tell me that there are unusual movements in Bei Li. It seems that Wanyan Da is not going to swallow this and is preparing to settle accounts with Da Chu."
"Have you thought about what to do?" Su Ruojin saw Xiao Yanchu's expression and knew that he already had a plan in mind.
Xiao Yanchu sighed, "When I went to Beili this time, I found that the people of Beili are actually having a hard time, especially in winter. Ah Jin, do you think that if Beili were to belong to Da Chu, the people of Beili could have a better life?"
Immediately realizing the implication, Su Ruojin asked, "You want to take over Bei Li?"
"Yes." Xiao Yanchu didn't shy away from Su Ruojin's words, "Bei Li and Da Chu are now sworn enemies."
Su Ruojin understood.
Bei Li invaded Da Chu with plagues, explosives, and the Demon King, injuring countless Da Chu people and generals. Xiao Yanchu would never swallow this insult.
From the moment Xiao Yanchu brought Lin Wanqing and Fei Molong back to Da Chu, he had already thought of this.
Su Ruojin thought for a moment and said, "Actually, Bei Li has a lot of ranch resources. The main reason why they have a hard time in winter is that their resources cannot be fully utilized."
Beili has high-quality beef and mutton, horses, and dairy products, while Dachu is rich in grain and has a developed textile industry.
If Bei Li were to submit to Da Chu, and the two countries were to become one, trade would be free, and merchants would naturally sell goods according to the needs of people in different places.
In this way, the people of Beili could exchange their pasture resources for food to survive the winter and cotton clothing to wear, which would greatly alleviate their suffering from cold and hunger.
Xiao Yanchu hugged Su Ruojin tightly, "Ah Jin, no one in this world understands me better than you. How could I live without you?"
Su Ruojin rolled her eyes at him. "Stop being so lovey-dovey. Bei Li isn't some pushover. It's not going to be taken down so easily. What exactly are you planning to do?"
The enmity between Bei Li and Da Chu didn't just begin recently. If Bei Li were so easily defeated, it wouldn't have survived to this day.
Xiao Yanchu pulled Su Ruojin closer to him. "It didn't work before because the four kingdoms of the Nine Provinces were each in their own way. Now, Bei Li has not only spread the plague to Da Chu and harmed people with the Gu poison of the Demon King, but has also done the same thing to Xiao Yue and Yun Qi. Do you think Xiao Yue and Yun Qi wouldn't hate Da Chu?"
When Xiao Yanchu said this, Su Ruojin understood that he wanted to join forces with Xiaoyue and Yunqi to conquer Beili.
Indeed, the four countries previously acted independently, each with their own ulterior motives, making it difficult for them to unite.
Now, Emperor Xiaoyue is Yuan Hong, and Emperor Yunqi can be considered Su Ruojin's cousin-in-law. In addition, after these events, everyone's relationship is very close, which is far beyond what was possible in previous dynasties.
It was under these circumstances that Xiao Yanchu's idea became feasible.
This is also why Xiao Yanchu dared to think about taking over Bei Li.
"When will you contact them?" Su Ruojin asked.
Such a big matter cannot be explained entirely through correspondence.
Xiao Yanchu looked at her daughter, who was sleeping soundly in the crib next to her, and smiled, "Isn't that Nian'er?"
