333 Possible Allies

When Lan Li went north, Hejiandi was still in the final stage after the war ended, clearing up fragments of remaining enemy troops and also restoring the original social order.

The war between the two continents was confined to Hejian, and the destructive power caused was very serious. Not to mention, the crops that originally grew densely in the Hejian were basically destroyed and plundered, and all the wealthy manors and villages in the wild were destroyed. Some of the castles that were not well-defended to build were mostly captured and occupied by foreign enemies.

The population of the civilian class was greatly reduced, and many of the nobles died, even the Duke of Hejiandi Horst Tully died in this not-so-long but extremely cruel war.

At this time, the Duke of Hejian was inherited by Edmu, the son of Duke Horst. Now he is leading the Hejian army and the King's army to jointly encircle and suppress the betrayed traitors-

Although the enemy retreated, the betrayers in Hejian did not leave.

When Lanley left Twin City, several betrayal nobles were negotiating with the Tuli family and the Iron Throne Party, in order to atone for the sins by cede land and compensation, rather than giving up Westeros' status and power and being expelled.

Lan Li didn't pay attention to the specific situation, because no matter how bad the negotiation results were, there would be no accidents.

Before leaving, he always considered the two things at hand.

The issue of resettlement of werewolfs is very simple. You only need to choose an unmanned land and report it to the Iron Throne. Westeros is very large and the population is not enough to occupy all parts of the mainland. There are not many such unmanned lands. The final choice of werewolfs is an island in the river.

The Iron Islands' "reward" issue is in a stalemate. The main reason is that if they want to pass through Sancha River, they must obtain the consent of the Hejian DiTulli family.

Therefore, before Renly left, he wrote a letter to the current Duke of Hejian, Edmu Tully hesitated about this letter.

"It's interesting to form an alliance with the Iron Islands to deter the lords of all directions." He told the family manager in the camp tent.

"Iron Minor is greedy and cruel, and is not trustworthy." The gray-haired boss shook his head when he heard this.

"I don't trust Tiemin either, but if there is a guarantee from Lord Lanli..." The new duke with red hair was really hesitant.

The Tuli family's rule over Hejian has never been very stable. From the situation of this war, it can be seen that several nobles betrayed the Tuli family and even Baratheon. If they did not betray, the dispatch of the troops under their command was not so smooth.

If this war hadn't affected the entire seven countries, and simply using the army from Hejian to defend the enemy, it would probably not have been able to withstand the enemy for even one day.

Now that his father has died in this war, how should he, the brand new Duke, manage his lord?

If we can reach an alliance with the iron people of the Iron Islands...

Edmu was a little moved by this.

Although it is a Hejian vassal king, the vassal king refers to status, not all territories in Hejian are from the Tuli family. In fact, the fiefs of the Tuli family are limited to a area around the family castle rushing city, and other territories in Hejian have their own lords.

Therefore, even if the Iron Civil Aviation from the Iron Islands enters the Sancha River, there will be no loss of benefits for the Tuli family. If the iron people really develop business as sincerely as the letter said, then the Tuli family can collect more taxes from it.

only……

Will the Iron Minor be so honest?

On the one hand, the long-term inherent impression made the young duke hesitate. On the other hand, rumors about how the ironmongers were ardent after the Baratheon were heard a lot during this period.

The impulse in character made Edmu want to agree resolutely, but the visible risks in the future pressed this thought back to his heart several times. After thinking for a while, he finally made up his mind.

"Look at how to decide on the Iron Throne." Edmu Tully said to the family chief.

However, after making up this idea, he felt a little uneasy, so after thinking about it, he simply ran to the study and prepared to write a letter to his sister who was far away from the north to ask for advice.

...

Lan Li naturally didn't know what happened behind him, and he was busy rushing to the north at this time.

He could not force the issue of resettlement of the Iron Minor. If he had to just say Junlin, he would be sure that even if he made some "unreasonable" requests, he might be accepted. However, this matter is not only Junlin's matter, but also Hejiandi.

Westeros’s royal power is not as good as in the memories of his previous life. If you want to issue laws in territories outside the king’s throne, you must have the consent of the local vassal.

Lan Li's reputation in Hejian is not as strong as Junlin. Even the lords in some remote areas in Hejian may not have heard of him. After all, the current world is not the information age. The circulation of information is very slow, and most of them are difficult to distinguish between true and false.

At the same time, Lan Li also heard that the newly promoted Duke of Hejiandi Edmu is an indecisive person and has no hope of whether he can accept his beliefs.

...

"How long will it take to go?"

While riding on the horse and walking along the forest road, a crisp sound came from beside her. It was the follower Reness. Now she was sitting on a docile little red horse, looking bored to the left of Yu Lanli, looking at the shaded sky above her head.

"It's still early. If you don't want to rush, go back first." Lan Li said as she glanced at her.

Bravos' letter did not let the person leave. It seemed that the girl who was deeply in ties with him had already planned to stay away. Lan Li did not force it, or could not force it - she would not be sent back to her with all kinds of ties.

In fact, Lan Li actually enjoys the life of being mixed with the girl. If you don’t say anything else, there is finally someone who can speak, otherwise no one else can communicate with him normally.

"You said that the Green Prophet really knows that kind of thing?" Renice instinctively ignored the second half of Lanley's words, and looked curious when she thought of something.

"I have to ask this before I know it." Lanli replied.

The other party asked about the connection between history and the present. Because they were also ancient people, Lan Li did not hide the purpose of finding the three-eyed crow, and at the same time claimed that he wanted to figure out this problem.

"Can you really find him?" the girl asked again.

"I have to find this before I know it."

"We won't be in vain, are we?"

"I'm afraid of this, so you can go back first."

"...Aren't you tired of wearing this armor all day?"

"The war has just ended. If there is danger, there is no time to wear it, so I can only-"

Speaking of this, Lan Li suddenly frowned, then raised his hand to signal, so the group of Western Knights and Iron Civil soldiers following him immediately stopped.

"Sir, what happened?" a brown-haired knight then rode his horse to ask.

His name is Mur. A knight from the West was very much admired by Lan Li for the incident of the deceased army of the sea border city dispersing the enemy. Later, he heard that Lan Li was going to the north, so he volunteered to escort his family's army and the knights all the way.

"There is an ambush in front." Lan Li replied with a serious face, "There are a lot of people, and I'm ready to break through!"

Unlike being in a large army, he was always alert to the north when he rushed to the north. He even used his psychic ability to connect with a bird's mind, so some things could not escape his eyeliner.

After hearing this, Muer's face was stunned, and then hesitated to turn around and give orders, so the formation of the team that was originally slightly scattered immediately changed.
