Take the ride to dominate the game

Chapter 140 The advantage is in him
This answer made Arthur feel very surprised. Stannis believed in the Lord of Light, which was different from the Seven Gods that the common people believed in, so he asked the reason again.

"Because he burned that fat archbishop, people in the whole kingdom are starving, and those monks are still so fat, they must have eaten the wheat we should eat."

"What's your opinion?" Arthur asked the others.

"I don't see any good ones."

"Say a few words less, and accidents are easy to happen."

"Whoever feeds me is a good king."

Everyone talked a lot in a mess, and basically had no positive comments on the current king.

The mad king Aerys II and the careless Robert have received unprecedented praise.

As for Arthur's King of the River, their evaluation is similar to that of the Tully family.

This shocked him so much that he didn't even bother to take a few mouthfuls of the stewed chicken with potatoes cooked by the owner.

Two of Lyman's guards delivered the unfinished meal to the group, and the four left.

"At the end of the day, after the property knights and lower-level lords died in battle, the peasants lost control. That's why you dare to say that. You can entrust some knights with military exploits to take care of these villagers."

After walking a little further, Lyman Darry said.

This big boy is not stupid, he can see that his king is in a bad mood, so he uses his method to comfort him.

"Maintaining order is secondary. The key is that the farmers really don't have much to eat." Arthur walked towards Pod and the others, "The gold mine in Golden Tooth City must be reopened, and the gold mines must be bought from Pentos and other places." Bring a large amount of grain, and then distribute it to the farmers who are short of food in the Hedong area."

The King of Hejian already had an idea. He planned to send ravens to Patrick, who was in charge of Golden Tooth City, William Mooton, the lord of Maiden Spring City, and others when he arrived in Shitang Town, so that this matter could move forward quickly.

As long as there is enough food, the farmers can easily settle down and the order in the countryside can be restored.

……

After half a day's march, Arthur and Desmond led their troops to their destination in the evening.

The church in Stonetown stood on a hill, halfway up the hill was a small but solid graystone manor, and around both was the town itself.

16 years ago, the soldiers of the four alliances defeated the then Lord Jon Connington, the Hand of the King, because the monks rang the bell to warn the civilians that the war was coming, so the battle was called the Battle of the Bells .

After Robert came to power, Knight Wilbert became the lord of this place. When Adam Marbrand led his army to hunt down the nobles in the river between the river and the lake, the knight was killed by the lion soldiers, and his three sons followed the young The wolf lord went to the western region, and he should have died in battle.

The 7000 people under Arthur's name have taken control of this place, the Frey family has provided 3000 people, the new army from Harrenhal has 2000 people, 1000 people from Maiden Springs have come with the new army, and there are more than a thousand people. It was cobbled together by lords at all levels in Huzhou and other places.

There is a very bad news waiting for King Hejian.

In the living room of the manor, Ines, Dickon and other leading generals reported the battle situation of the king's territory to Arthur.

"The dwarf fooled everyone. Stannis spent two days and one night with an army of [-] and destroyed Duskendale into ruins, but he didn't get Tommen. Now he has led his army back to King's Landing, ready to fight the lion The coalition forces will do a big job." Bald Ines said.

Lame Lothor filled in the details, "The Imp took all the courtiers, Queen Cersei, the Kingsguard, and the Golden Cloaks to make a game, making it seem like Tommen was there, but in fact he had been captured by the cunning Lannis." It was sent to a place that no one knew about."

Arthur thought for a while, and said: "It's not necessarily a game, the little devil just sent Tommen out because he had no choice. Are Myrcella, Cersei, the little devil, Littlefinger and others all captured? "

"Before the city of Duskdale was besieged, Littlefinger took Princess Myrcella away by sea, probably to the valley or Dorne to seek an alliance. Queen Cersei, the little devil and the remaining courtiers, the Kingsguard and others They are all captured, and the Lion Army and the Riverbend Army will soon arrive at King's Landing, so Stannis should not dare to kill these high-ranking prisoners," Luo Suo said.

"I can't tell, Erlu is very stubborn, but he can listen to the persuasion of the onion knight." Arthur asked to spread the map on the table.

Since he added a point to his intelligence, he felt that his mind had become more flexible.

"The Lions and Flowers will definitely confront Stannis near the city of King's Landing. They may send some troops to attack us. It doesn't take too much. Ten thousand river bend soldiers can make us overwhelmed, or they may send someone to attack us. Assassinate Alduin in Harrenhal. As long as there are no dragons, my kingdom is weaker and more ridiculous than Robb's short-lived kingdom."

"The advantage lies with him, not with me!"

Everyone present knew that the king of the Deer family was inherited from Robert, and Robert's title was snatched from Targaryen.

So in theory, it should be that the two deer kings joined forces to kill Arthur, the "dragon family" with dragons, but fortunately, the geographical location of Stannis and Tommen prevented this from happening.

Just like in the early days of the War of the Five Kings, the Western Region Army supporting Joffrey was supposed to fight Stannis and Renly, who had the right to claim the Iron Throne, but under the leadership of Tywin, they fought to suppress the river first. In the "counter-rebellion war" between China and the northern border, if it weren't for Erlu's clever operation, the Lannisters would never have the strength and chance to win against the anti-Lionist forces.

In the previous battle, Stannis allowed Tywin and the Western Territory to achieve the greatest results. Now he used the method of attacking Duskendale City to attract the Lion and Flower Alliance Army, earning a living space for Riverland.

"So we should quickly resolve the battle here, and then go to the king's land to kill Tommen who doesn't know which castle he is hiding in. This is the biggest chance for a comeback."

Lame Rosso's mind is quite good, he suggested to the king of the river.

The biggest link between Lion and Flower is Toman. Without the king supported by the Lion family and the queen position that can be provided, it will be much easier to divide the two families.

"That's for sure, but we can take other measures." Arthur pointed to Harrenhal, "The two hundred or so Quohor mercenaries of Locke Holt are still there. It's time to do the work. Send the raven to deliver the letter and ask Locke to take people to the northern part of the king's land to find and capture Tommen. They shut the two gates of Harrenhal tightly, and no one can come in or out."

The mines outside Golden Tooth City can provide a lot of gold, so Arthur's rewards in terms of money suddenly became generous.

Rosso remembered these two points. After writing the letter and stamping Arthur's sword and horse coat of arms with hot wax, he recruited the bachelor who served Wilbert's family and ordered him to send it to Harrenhal with a raven.

"What's going on in Dorne and the Vale?"

Arthur looked around and felt that only these two places were still a little suspenseful.

Deacon, who led troops to participate in the field battle for the first time, answered this question: "There is no movement in Dorne, and no troops have been assembled near the Bone Road and Prince's Pass. It seems that they don't intend to help us."

The territory of the Tully family was right on the edge of the Dornish Territory, so it was natural to know where the Dornish people were marching.

"We should be wary of the Vale." Dickon pointed out the Blood Gate to Arthur, "The Arryn family participated in the War of the Usurpers before, the Stark family and the Lannister family are not helping each other, but they can deal with dragons." You don't have to."

Arthur had the opposite opinion. He shook his right index finger and said:
"Young people are still too immature, and they need to learn how to analyze specific situations. Back then, the Eagles sent troops because the Mad King wanted the heads of Robert and Ed, and Eagle's nephew was also killed, so the Knights of the Valley bleed out. "

"Now? The person in charge is Mrs. Lysa. She only listens to Littlefinger's words. Myrcella is probably taken to the valley by Littlefinger. The situation in the mainland is still unclear. Littlefinger, a conspirator, will not be able to stand in line for a short time. Not all the princes in the Upper Valley listen to Lysa, so Littlefinger will manage relationships in the Valley until he has complete control over there."

Petyr Baelish was a businessman who could influence Seagull Town, but he couldn't influence powerful nobles in the valley like Royce, Grafson, and Corbray.

The second person in the valley, Bronze Jon, had participated in the War of the Usurper, and he always wanted to save Ed and fight for the Young Wolf Lord, so it is possible to develop into an anti-Toman and anti-Arthur force at the same time.

But under Lysa's constraints, the riverlands' northeastern neighbors are unlikely to take part in the current war.

Arthur was disappointed without Dorn's reinforcements, so he looked to the north.

"How's the battle at Moat Cailin?"

Bald-headed Innis said: "Master Leech is still seeking stability as always. After Little Peeler led Theon to persuade the Ironmen to surrender, Moat Calim temporarily fell into the hands of the Bolton family, and then White Harbor's army joined forces with Glover and Greatjon. The coalition forces commanded by others launched an attack from the north and the south. After a fierce battle, the Bolton army retreated northward to the territory of Huangzhongtun. The two armies are facing each other across the King's Road."

The causeway surrounded by the three towers of Moat Calim is the only way to go south and north. The east and west sides are the shallowest and waist-deep swamps. Only the necks led by the Reed family know how to find shortcuts in the swamps.

But the Neckmen were hidden in the vast swamp, and even Robb couldn't find them when he went south. It was impossible for others to lead the way.

Therefore, the Yankees had to force their way home from Carlin Bay.

"It seems that there is no foreign aid. We have to do it ourselves. Where is the western army led by my uncle?" Arthur asked.

This uncle naturally refers to Janos Bracken, who was appointed by Tommen as the guardian of the river, and is coming to suppress the rebellion under the order of Lord Tywin, Hand of the King.

Dickon, Innis and others introduced the situation of this western army to Arthur.

Just south of Shitang Town, there is a tributary of the Blackwater River, and the [-] troops led by Genos are stationed on the flat land on the other side of the river.

"The whole camp is still relatively chaotic. It seems that it is really full of recruits, but some experienced knights are playing their role. The enemy's camp is very clever. If we want to attack them, we must first cross the river, and the river is the closest Skyrocketing, and there are no boats and bridges, so we can only stalemate." Dickon said.

The Marquis of Innis, whose walking posture gradually returned to normal, suggested: "Let's confront each other for a while, wait until the boat is built, and then cross the river to fight them."

Several Hejian land nobles agreed with this prudent approach.

Arthur looked at the terrain, "They can be defeated without a big fight. What about the nearby river lords? Go gather the peasants, find a suitable location, block the river with mud overnight, and we can start in a day or two. Go to fight in the kingdom to the east."

Shitang Town was built on a hill, but the people from the western region were stationed on the lower riverside, which created a new way to play.

Several property knights were ordered to go out to gather the farmers. Before leaving, Arthur added his own reward. Every farmer who participated in blocking the river could get [-] catties of wheat.

……

Westlands, Casterly Rock.

Lying prone on the special movable soft bed, Duke Tywin was listening to the bachelor's report.

Next to him, Ser Jaime, who was full of anxiety, stared at the maester's mouth intently, as if he could know the whereabouts of his sister Cersei and son Tommen and others.

He breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that Tommen had not fallen to Stannis, but his heart sank again when the maester said the queen and courtiers had been taken prisoner.

"Where did Tommen go?"

He already knew that Cersei was captured, so he didn't think about what would happen to his sister for the time being, and instead asked about his son Tommen who might survive.

Maester Cralen replied respectfully: "Since most of the Kingsguard were captured, His Majesty Tommen should have been secretly sent away by Lord Tyrion. I tend to be sent to a small castle in the north of the kingdom, and it is said that The mercenary next to Lord Tyrion is also gone, so there should be only one mercenary and one or two Kingsguard guarding His Majesty."

Since most of Duskendale's people were taken prisoner, Casterly Rock doesn't know where their king ended up being sent.

James suddenly became anxious, "Doesn't that mean Tommen is in danger now? No, I have to protect him."

Lion Flower's [-] troops and [-] servants are about to approach the city, so Cersei, a high-ranking prisoner, can save her life, and Tommen, who lives in the countryside of the king's land, is very dangerous.

Joffrey's bizarre death had been enough for Jaime to blame himself, and now he would not allow Tommen to leave him too.

"Calm down." Knowing that Tommen did not fall into Stannis' hands, Tywin stopped paying attention to the situation in King's Landing, "Three months ago, our situation was much worse than this, and now there are nearly [-] troops In hand, what are you afraid of?"

Now the Shihua family has an army of [-] near King's Landing City. As long as it is not commanded by a fool, they can always defeat Erlu, and then go to Hejian Land to crush the Dragon Bearer.

"Let Kevan send a large number of men to find His Majesty. At the same time, attack King's Landing City, let the knights in the Reach do some work, and fight on the wall. If Kevan still has energy, send someone to take Harrenhal The dragon in the game was assassinated, and without the dragon, the comedy kingdom of the dragon bearers will be disbanded immediately." Tywin ordered the maester.

Maester Crellan made a note of these points and went out to deliver the ravens.

"No, I have to perform the duties of the Kingsguard to find and protect Tommen." Maybe it was the bond between father and son, James was a little flustered.

"You are not allowed to go anywhere, remember, you are no longer the Kingsguard." Tai Wen stared at his son, "Recently, my health is getting worse and worse, you stay here to inherit Casterly Rock City and the West."

Sir James knew that his father was very strong, so he did not refute on the spot, and left silently.

He knew how to escape from Casterly Rock, dodging servants and guards.

One son was gone, and he was going to protect the second son.
