It's like the vast majority of people in the world don't think much of Lesek. Archduke Henry, www.biquge.info Pen Fun Pavilion, was also unimpressed by this kind--Lesek's ability and will were poor. What's more important is strength. As the Grand Duke of Mazovia, he occupied less than half the land of the Hereford family in Mazovia.

"What a piece of rubb...... If, if he were not so wasteful, then with the three Grand Duchyes of Mazovia, Shilonsk and Livonia, he would definitely be able to suppress the Hereford family...... What a damn ......."

Archduke Henry thought so in his heart, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he felt, and he only felt that the reason why he was so unhappy was because Archduke Leschek was too useless.

“...... However, if you think about it, this guy may still have a little bit of use. ”

Maybe it's the blessing of the ancestors, or maybe it's the fool's thousand thoughts. While Archduke Henry was sulking, he suddenly thought of a possibility. One possibility that could inhibit the continued expansion of the Hereford family.

"Speaking of which, the richest and most core territory of the Hereford family is still Mystia. Mystia, on the other hand, was still theoretically part of the Grand Duchy of Mazovia. And Otto that guy is the Grand Duke of Novgorod. Or later, you can get the title of Grand Duke Turov. But these places are very remote and very inhospitable, and they are all Slavic lands.

How, then, could a Novgorod Grand Duke occupy the territory of Mazovia? But after I ascend the throne, I must take care of it!"

With this in mind, Grand Duke Henry made up his mind - after obtaining the title of king, he instigated Grand Duke Lesek to recover the de jure territories "occupied" by the Grand Duke of Novgorod. to weaken the influence of the Hereford family.

The more Archduke Henry thought about it, the more he thought about it, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was a good idea: "If he is willing to be obedient, then forget it." The heavily weakened Hereford family has nothing to worry about. He will be my shield against the centaur invasion. And if he refuses, I have an excuse -- I mean in the name of righteousness to crusade against him. And at that time—"

Thinking of this, Archduke Henry's excitement disappeared in an instant, and he became lost again.

Yes, if it is a crusade against him, against the Hereford family, then the result is self-evident - even if he has the reputation of righteousness, even if he has the two most elite grand principalities of the Wende Kingdom, he can mobilize tens of thousands of troops anytime and anywhere. But he still didn't think he could beat the Hereford family.

“...... Just talk about it. Though...... It didn't help, but the reputation of the Hereford family was ruined. And fame is one of the most important assets of an aristocratic family. Destroy the Herriford family's loyal and patriotic signs, and turn them into a stinking traitor and a powerful minister. It was also a big blow to the Hereford family...... That's right, in this way, the rising momentum of the Hereford family will be suppressed. ”

Archduke Henry was in his heart, so he comforted himself. It's just that I am afraid that even he doesn't believe what he said.

"Anyway, Grand Duke Leschek still has to meet. ”

After making a decision in his heart, Archduke Henry welcomed Archduke Lesek, a reinforcement that had only mobilized more than 6,000 soldiers and was basically useless. And after that, take time out to talk to Grand Duke Leshek alone. Give him "face-to-face." Openly and secretly claiming to be King Wende, and then hinting at him that he would trouble the Hereford family after that.

It's just that...... Archduke Leschek is not too smart, though. But there is one thing that is stronger than Archduke Henry, who cannot distinguish between the important and the self-esteem, and that is that Archduke Leschek is very self-aware. He understands his limits, what he is good at, and what he is not good at. I also understand what should be done and what should never be touched.

- Yes, Archduke Henry said something very good, it can damage the reputation of the Hereford family, and it can slow down the Heritford family's progress. But these "benefits" were all enjoyed by Henry alone. And what can he get for Leshek?

Yes, Leshek would be hated and hostile by the Herefords - the question of the distribution of territory and power in Mazovia was very delicate. It can even be said that it affects the whole body. Grand Duke Leszek knows that this is definitely the key point of the Hereford family, and at the same time, he also knows that this is definitely the bottom line of the Hereford family.

Having moved the Duchy of Mystia and angered the Hereford family, could the Grand Duke of Leszek still be good?And in the event of a tear with the Hereford family, or even a war, would Archduke Henry—no, even if Henry succeed in being crowned King Henry—what support could King Henry offer him? Would he be willing to use all his strength to recruit an army of 50,000 and then fight the Hereford family?

Thinking on your heels is also knowing that it is impossible.

He wants Archduke Leschek to come forward, annoy the Hereford family, eat the benefits himself, and let Archduke Leschek take the blame. After Archduke Leschek figured it out, he was full of dislike and hatred for Archduke Henry. And beyond that, it's contempt.

"He's thinking too well, isn't he? Is he really a fool to everyone but him? He's not a king yet. But then again, what if he really became a king? In the name of righteousness? Did he think that the king could do whatever he wanted? I don't know that the Hereford family has a good relationship with the current emperor, Kalman IV...... If there is a real fight, perhaps the Wende Kingdom will soon have another new king. ”

Grand Duke Leschek thought so to himself. Then I didn't care too much. Just humming haha perfunctory Archduke Henry. At the same time, he made up his mind to explain the matter to the Hereford family as it was when he returned—and as for the future of his family, Archduke Leszek had already figured it out.

Archduke Henry was just an unreliable distant relative. Even though two people belong to the same family, the surname is the same. But if you want to trace your ancestors, you have to go back hundreds of years, and it will take more than ten generations to trace it. This kind of distant relative is not very different from passers-by.

The Hereford family is different. William, the sole heir of the Hereford family, is his son-in-law. His favorite daughter, Elise, was William's wife. After that, she will become Grand Duchess of Novgorod, Grand Duchess Turov...... Grand Duchess of Mazovia...... Even the queen of the Wende Kingdom.

This kinship is much closer than the so-called same clan that can only be traced back to more than ten generations to get the ancestors.

Moreover, for the father and son of the Hereford family, Archduke Leszek also has a certain understanding. No matter what others say, Archduke Leschek still thinks Archduke Otto is an indecisive man. And it's more nostalgic. As for William. He knows a little more than anyone else. Knowing that William is a man with great ambition and great ability. But at the same time, he also knew that William had a good relationship with Elise.

In this case, as long as the Trieste family of Mazovia is firmly on the side of the Hereford family. Then you don't have to worry about the future of your family.

Originally, the sons of Grand Duke Leszek were not very competitive. Occasionally, he thought about passing the title to his daughter. But before that, he had only thought about it occasionally, and he hadn't taken it seriously—but in this case, he was really thinking about it.

- As long as she passes on the title to her daughter, then in the future, Iris will be the Grand Duchess of Mazovia. As her husband, William could rightfully give himself the title of Grand Duke of Mazovia. In this way, the Herefords would be able to rule the Archduchy of Mazovia in the name of justice - and having helped the Herefords solve their most important problems of fame, the Archduke of Leszek was confident that the Herefords would never forget him. With the care of the Hereford family, his sons who are not successful will naturally live well. The Trieste family heritage can also be passed on. Even, under the care of the Hereford family, if there are any capable talents in the Trieste family, then as a relative of the Hereford family, it is natural for the family to revive and even go to the next level!

In doing so, there is little to no risk and the rewards are high. At the same time, the probability of success is very high. Grand Duke Lesek even had to applaud his wit.

So, in this case, why did Archduke Leschek not take the road in front of him, and tie himself to Archduke Henry to cross the single-plank bridge?

Thinking so in his heart, Grand Duke Leschek unconsciously smiled on his face. This smile was seen in the eyes of Archduke Henry, who immediately misunderstood, thinking that this was the other party's opinion in agreement.

Sure enough, with a little agitation, the idiot took the bait. Grand Duke Henry sneered in his heart. He had even figured out that after the Grand Duke of Leszek raised the question of the status of the Duchy of Mystia, he would have to pretend to be very embarrassed by the Hereford family. Pretend to be innocent and pretend you haven't heard of it before. Let all the hatred of the Hereford family be concentrated on Archduke Lesek.

"It's better that the Hereford family, in a fit of rage, kill Archduke Leschek...... I remember that Otto's son was married to the daughter of Lesek, yes. They were related by marriage - even Lesek could kill them, and Otto's reputation would be completely ruined...... It's just that, in this way, they will again occupy all of Mazovia...... But it doesn't matter. There will always be a way around it. ”

That's it, Archduke Henry talked very happily with Archduke Leschek and laughed very happily. And they are all in their hearts, treating each other as idiots.
