King of The Wall

Chapter 115 Dedication
"Damn Night's Watch-" Robert's face changed instantly more red.

As a king, he originally had a thought to bring a "Night's Watch with the army" because he was confident that he could easily take down the Bloody Gate. Who would have thought that the war would not go well, and the unprecedented slapstick operation suddenly became self-defeating. Igor obediently and honestly hiding in the tents of the Antlers army is fine, but he's still alive and has to jump out to offer a plan - every second of this black clothed person in front of oneself's field of vision seems to be slapping him!

"How many times do I have to say this before you guys remember? They're rebels! Rebels! Rebels!" the king growled, grabbing the glass in front of him, pausing every time he roared on the table. One, three times after the rebels roared, the wine glass was already cracked, or the spilled or leaked red wine flowed down his hands to the table and gathered into a pool. Robert snorted, threw the glass to the ground and smashed into pieces, and continued roaring while intervening with the tablecloth: "I'm suppressing the rebellion! This is not a Seven Kingdoms infighting! Do you understand? Now, or hurry up and say your idea. Come out, or get out now! Bring me another cup!"

Igor was stunned for a moment, then realized that the last sentence was not a shout at oneself. He finally understood what it means to be a companion, such as a tiger and a moody Impermanence. Even if he was used to seeing great characters like oneself and was mentally prepared, he was really scared by Robert's outburst just now, and he almost couldn't help it I have to bow my head to hide from the other party's wine glass. Fortunately, the other party just slammed it on the ground... He is also one of the most powerful people in the Seven Kingdoms, but not everyone is as reasonable and easy to talk as Eddard Stark.

"Your Majesty calm down, I just want to confirm!" In the face of such a tyrant, Igor can't dare to be stubborn and acting cool, anyway, the promise that oneself wants has been obtained - important things have to be said three times , I don't think even Robert understands this. He roared the rebels three times in a row, that is, to define what happened today: oneself offered a plan to the king to suppress the rebellion, was protecting the interests of the kingdom, and did not violate the discipline of Night's Watch.

In principle, as the "high level" officer of Night's Watch, and the "fifth commander" of Wall's defenders, what Igor did violates the discipline of Night's Watch, and there is only one Mormont in this world. Eligibility, King Robert said doesn't count. But the reality is that whoever has the bigger fist has the final say. Since the king made such an assertion in public, Mormont would never dare to refute this "established fact".

Igor looked around and saw Robb Stark nodding friendly towards oneself, and after smiling, he didn't hesitate any more: "In 'China', where I come from, There is a place called Chuanshu, which is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and there is an uncrossable river in the east. Sword Sect ', a dangerous level far above Bloody Gate that is easy to defend and difficult to attack."

"Well, I know, and then someone broke the Sword Sect you said." Reach place name general, Westeros the only one in Randyll Tarly, the man who defeated Robert in the frontal battle, interjected blankly, "How did you do it?"

"Stop telling the story, just tell the way!" Robert became impatient road.

Igor is a little helpless, can't these rude people be patient? If they don't play cards according to the routine, most of the drafts that oneself have prepared for a long time are suddenly invalid. What can I do?

During the Three Kingdoms period, Wei raised an army to destroy Shu, and a hundred thousand troops were stationed at the entrance of Shu. Facing the Sword Sect Pass guarded by Jiang Wei, he could not advance an inch for several months, and he was about to retreat when he ran out of food. This situation and the predicament that Robert is in at this moment. How similar? Later, Deng Ai took Yinping Road into Shuzhong, defeated Zhuge Zhan in Mianzhu, and captured Chengdu, and finally won this old enemy.

The same example is the Wenquan Pass. Persia attacked Greece. Facing three hundred Spartan warriors, it was impossible to pass five-figure casualties. What should I do in the end?

Take a detour.

Since Robert didn't want to hear the story, Igor had no choice but to skip this wonderful storytelling stage and go straight to the conclusion: "Leaving a large number of levies outside Bloody Gate to divert the attention of the defenders, Send the most elite troops to take the path to enter, as for whether to go directly to Eyrie to clear the siege, or to attack the Bloody Gate from the inside and outside to clear the city gate and let the army pass through, it is entirely up to Your Majesty to like it.”

...

"hmph ——"

"puff!"

The surrounding princes and generals made disdainful voices, and some even laughed softly, Randyll Tarly said coldly: "This is indeed a good way, but I do not know the chief logistics officer, which way into the Vale of Arryn?" The army must also know that this kind of trail is meaningless, what we need - is a trail that the rebels in Vale don't know about, or a new trail."

"It's easy to say, you Are all the armies that have attacked the Vale of Arryn for thousands of years, and so many people on our side, all fools! The Mountains of the Moon that surrounds the Vale of Arryn stretches for hundreds of thousands of miles, and find a path here through the mountains and mountains , how long will it take?" Randyll Tarly said disdainfully: "One month, two months, or half a year?! During this period, should tens of thousands of us go home to farm first, or wait in Taniguchi? The Tyrell family can afford it. Food and grass, but what about travel expenses and military salaries?"

"Lord Tully, your question is correct." Igor had long expected that he would be questioned, and had a solution: "If King Robert allows some of the Vale not involved in the rebellion to come to the battle meeting, and they will definitely tell Your Majesty: There are already many paths to enter Vale, and there are more than one, but the mountain clans who know and control these paths do not tell Eyrie or Iron. Throne acknowledge allegiance, outsiders who don't know Vale are also deceived by the phrase 'enter Vale must go through the Bloody Gate' - this sentence should actually be said: If you want to enter Vale through the flat Great Way, you must go through the Bloody Gate! ”

A small blind spot of thinking, it doesn’t take any effort to open it, the key is how to use it after seeing through it – things like detours are not something you can detour if you want.

He paused before revealing the final answer: "But if you just want to end the war, you don't have to take the Bloody Gate, so my strategy is: keep the army still and keep throwing stones every day. Archery for a feint attack, sending thousands of elites with a small amount of food and grass into the Mountains of the Moon to encircle and suppress the mountain clans, and after coercing and enticing them to surrender, these people who are familiar with the terrain will lead the shock troops into the Vale of Arryn, and the major event can be accomplished!”

"In order to avoid suspicion from the defenders, we'd better let these soldiers disguise themselves as peasants who were sent home to farm, and pretend to leave the battlefield, but actually detour into the Mountains of the Moon. The rebels are dreaming. Unexpectedly, all the people we left behind were full of rogues and recruits, but the elites of the hundred battles left the camp, and when these people appeared in the Bloody Gate, everything was too late!”

Plan The speaking of which is simple, but in fact it already contains a series of strategic and tactical thoughts such as speaking of the east and the west, Golden Cicada shelling out, stealing the beam, and crossing the sea. Any modern person who looks at this plan will feel that as it should be by rights, it couldn't be simpler, but if you really want to formulate it out of nothing, for such a school that doesn't even have a school or a military academy, you will be lined up. It can be called a "handsome talent" and a backward world who dares to lead troops to charge can be regarded as a "fighting general", but it can be called a divide strategy and wonderful planning.

Could Igor have a military innate talent to come up with such a complete plan in one day? But in fact, Night's Watch began to subconsciously think about "how to break it" as early as the day it arrived outside Bloody Gate and found that it was so similar to Sword Sect. When I found out that this war was closely related to oneself's interests, when I looked back, I found that oneself's mind had already prepared a solution.

＊＊＊

It was quiet in the tent. One minute ago, when Igor said "take the path and enter", most people were disdainful and made fun of them. Now that people have given specific solutions, who can have objections now?
A handsome and slender teenager squire brought a new glass for Robert and filled it with wine, but the king rarely touched the glass again - he sat quietly behind the table and tapped with his thick fingers Looking at the table, even the blood on his face after being drunk seems to have subsided.

Robert really wants to be the first king to break the Bloody Gate in a thousand years, but with Petyr's defection and the current financial situation of the royal family, if he wins by storm, it is estimated that even the pensions of the fallen soldiers will be paid. Can't figure it out - he can still tell the difference between the dream and the stability of the rule.

After being silent for about a minute, he opened his mouth: "How about you, express your opinion, the idea of the Others killer, is it feasible?"

"I think it is feasible, If he doesn't say it, how many people in this tent remember the mountain clans in Mountains of the Moon who don't acknowledge allegiance?" Randyll Tarly's tone was still hard, but his tone had flipped 180 degrees. : "This is interesting, Lord Igor West - I heard that you were from overseas and were taken to the Wall as soon as you landed, how can you know so much about Vale, even us native Westeros? How about you?"

"There's a thing called a book, my lord." Igor replied with a smile, he wouldn't tell them the book was called "Song of Ice and Fire", much less oneself The inspiration for the strategy comes from the history of the Chinese Dynasty and 36 Stratagems: "There is also a saying that if you don't go out, you know the world."

......

"Your Majesty, I also I think it's feasible!" Robb Stark was the first to speak: "There are also many clans and tribes in the North, and the Karstark and Umber families have experience in dealing with these Barbarians, and the First Men bloodline also flows in the mountain clans, and they also believe in the Old Gods, so that the North people will go out. Recruiting and surrendering is easier than others. I would like to personally lead the North elite to carry out this plan!"

"There are many mountains in Dorne, Your Majesty." Oberyn actually jumped out: "I have most of the lance soldiers under my command. Not afraid to climb mountains and mountains, as long as you give us a guide, it can come in handy!"

Since there is a feasible way, each family will naturally ask for help, but it's not how much confidence they have in this plan, Rather—no matter how difficult Mountains of the Moon is to climb, it's better than being sent to storm Bloody Gate.

"Very good, Killer of Others... Next, let's see if your idea works well. If it succeeds, there will be a lot of rewards. If it fails again, I'm afraid I will only I can take my face off and talk to those rebels." Robert regained his composure rarely, not only his voice was much lighter, but he even threw the pot on Igor, setting a stage for oneself's possible compromise in the future: " Now, you can go out, the others stay, let's discuss the specific mission assignment together."
