Take the ride to dominate the game

Chapter 95 Listen to My Roar
Luxi City, a certain secret room.

The tall, thin-haired Duke Tywin sat at one end of the long table, his face was faintly visible under the candlelight, which made him look even more majestic and unpredictable.

In front of him were the heads of the main force of the Western Territory:
Kevan Lannister, Duke's younger brother, Sir Adam Marbrand, heir of Brand, Tytos, heir of Brax of Horndale, Roland Kerher, Earl of Crake Hall, and others, Earl Saliot of Silver Mountain , Lord Leo Lefford of the Golden Tooth City, etc.

From the members here, it can be seen that Duke Tywin has a strong desire to control.

Every big family in the western region has an important person here, and their parents or heirs are often teachers in the western region led by James.

For example, here in Titus, the city of Corner Valley, his father, Andros Brax, was in the Western Region; so was Adam Marbrand's father, Earl Damon, and the Lefford family in Golden Tooth City was even worse. , The couple were taken to two places.

Tywin rested his right hand on the long table, and knocked on the beech wood table with his index finger.

The sound of da da echoed in the small secret room, making everyone even more restless.

This was originally a top-secret meeting for the main forces in the western region to discuss their next battle plan, but something was wrong with the atmosphere.

Tywin's younger brother, Ser Kevan, coughed twice, breaking the weird atmosphere, and then reported to Tywin and everyone with the information he had obtained.

"Sir Loach, who was defeated in Heron Town six days ago, has led his army to retreat to Shili City. He and the advance infantry are stationed together, surrounding Earl Bracken's castle, waiting for the arrival of the main follow-up army."

Although Adam Marbrand was young, he was appreciated by Tywin because of his outstanding insight and excellent ability to observe words and emotions. He is now in charge of the main force of the Western Region with 5000 heavy cavalry troops.

So he sat across from Kevan, on Tywin's right.

After finishing the first piece of information, Lannister's house governor did not say anything.

Still tapping on the table.

So the clever Adam guessed the duke's intentions, and reprimanded sharply: "Amori Loach is not retreating, he is clearly fleeing, and 800 light cavalry can't beat the [-] river cavalry. Half of the manpower, let the overwhelmed Harrenhal fly away for nothing, it's really not capable enough."

After the reprimand, the Duke still didn't say anything.

So Adam added: "I suggest that he hand over the more than 700 cavalry and take only one or two hundred light cavalry to guard our food requisition team."

Sir Kevan on the opposite side of him nodded: "This is exactly the second point I want to say. Earl Beric crossed the Red Fork River with some guards of Soros and Duke Eddard, and attacked our food delivery team, The levied food was returned to the farmers in the riverland, and Amory Lodge's IQ and ability are just right for this situation."

Since Jiaogu City is far away from the hinterland of the western border, the supply line of this army was stretched very long.After entering the Hejian land, the grain-producing area, the logistics of the entire army were solved on the spot.

Several small groups of troops from the western border were sent to requisition the food from the earls of Red Pink City and Luxi City, but they were attacked by the remaining members of the King's Landing Law Enforcement Team led by Earl Berry, which made the logistics of the main force of the western border difficult Not at all stable.

After the two finished speaking, Duke Tywin still didn't speak, but Kevan felt that his brother should have agreed to the proposal, so he asked the recording officer to record this.

"The news about Twin Rivers, Old Frey said that he can help find James, on the condition that James marry one of her granddaughters or great-granddaughters, as well as the post-war guardianship family of the river and the title of the land lord of the river. ’” Kevan added.

Adam guessed something from the duke's silence, "The Frey family is an upstart with no background. They have only been rich for 600 years, and they are worthy of Sir James? This is absolutely not allowed, but you can pretend to agree first, Let them get Ser Jaime out."

Kevan also agreed with Adam's proposal, "Then I'll send a letter to the Twins, Old Frey still has a way of plotting."

"No." Duke Tywin said his first words when he entered this secret room, "The Freys don't want to get involved with my son, just don't have the slightest thought."

In his early years, he hated his weak father for marrying his younger sister to Old Frey's second son, and his nephew Cleo was a well-known playboy in King's Landing, and often acted in the name of a relative of the Lannister family. The Duke loathed the Freys even more.

Cowardice often wears a mask of hypocrisy, and incompetence goes hand in hand.He must never repeat the mistakes his father "Laughing Lion" made.

Seeing Tywin getting angry, Kefeng quickly opened up the topic with another message.

"The Earl of Bracken is also in Riverrun. The insider said that Janos lent Arthur Bracken 500 infantry on the condition that he defended Stone Hedge City. In this way, we can find a way to fight against Heron in Stone Hedge City." Arthur's ambush at Fort Rescue."

Adam agreed with Kevan's point of view, "A fierce general like Arthur can dig some traps, use bait to let him rush over, fall into the pit, and then be stoned to death; or form an army formation with strong crossbows, Shot with random arrows."

The rest of the people nodded in agreement, and they didn't dare to speak in front of Tai Wen, who was on the verge of fury.

His Excellency the Duke sent troops to Hejian for his own son, but he lost another son, and he was protected by fifteen thousand troops.

Whoever comes here will have to question what those 5000 people are doing!
Kevan is Tywin's military assistant, so he naturally pays more attention to gossip on the battlefield.

"It is rumored that Arthur wears two layers of armor. I don't know if he can shoot through it with a crossbow. But the matter of ambush in Shili City can be settled. When he falls into a trap, he will be stoned to death."

"No." Duke Tywin once again overturned their proposal.

"Bracken is a surname of ancestors with a long history and noble blood." He looked at his younger brother Kevan, "Go and let a higher-ranking city of Riverrun speak to Earl Janos."

"If he is willing to get my son out of Riverrun, I will give the Bracken family the title of Guardian of the River, and by the way, keep a complete Stonewall City for him. After all, it is a family castle that has been passed down for thousands of years. , That Arthur can also find a way to capture him first, and then ask him if he is willing to sacrifice his life for me. The Magic Mountain is dead, and we don't have a few heroes who can stand alone."

The main family of Bracken is a second-tier noble on the entire continent, slightly weaker than the monarchy family, and can challenge the Bolton family in the north, the Frey family in the Twins, the Hightower and Redwyne in the Reach. Like the family with the title of One Realm Guardian, it is also called the second top family.

Apart from the thousand-year feud with another second-tier aristocrat, Raventree City, Bracken of Stonewall City is most famous for his rebound.

The camp his family was in in the early stage would always lose, and before the loss appeared, the ruler of Shili City would definitely be able to jump to the winning side.

Reverse jumping is the ultimate secret of his family's survival for thousands of years.

Considering that there have been three major changes in the past few thousand years: the battle between the ancestors and the children of the forest, the invasion of the Andals, and the conquest of Aegon of Targaryen, this standing still has a lot of gold.

After all, not everyone can accurately jump to the winner's side.

Kevan was taken aback, "Isn't it too much for Earl Genos? Just to save someone and give him the title of guardian."

"That's my son!" Tai Wen yelled angrily, like a lion about to erupt, "My only son who can inherit Casterly Rock!"

Seeing that the two Lannisters had a disagreement, Adam hurried to smooth things over.

"Letting Earl Janos as the guardian is more in line with our interests in the western region. The strength of the Bracken family is only three or four in Hejian. In the future, he will rely on us to control the land of Sanhe. This gives us a legitimate reason to intervene in the affairs of Hejian. .The Tully family has fallen out, and the Frey family's position is not stable."

Kevan was yelled at by his elder brother, and accepted this obediently: "I will send someone to contact Genos. He has 1000 troops in Riverrun, which is enough to save people."

The education he has received throughout his life is to assist the elder brother of the lord. After Tywin clearly expresses his views, he will obey 100% and go all out to implement them without any compromise.

Tywin didn't speak, stood up and turned around, looking at the map hanging on the wall.

A clever nobleman picked up a candle, and held it in front of Feng Jun's eyes in small steps.

This allowed the clever Adam to see two concerns of the Guardians of the West.

Bitter Bridge on Rose Avenue, the capital of King's Landing.

There is no big problem in King's Landing City. Joffrey I has already ascended the throne, and Cersei, Queen Mother of the Lion House, is ruling there on behalf of her underage son.

Stannis on Dragonstone Island is not strong enough, and most of his hands are navy, so he can't take down the strong city of King's Landing.

Bitterbridge in the Reach is a bit of a problem.

It is rumored that the nobles of the two southern territories responded to the call of Renly, who established himself as king, and gathered there. The southern union, which can summon an army of [-] to [-], is the biggest threat to the lion family.

"There is no problem with King's Landing. As long as His Majesty Joffrey I makes Duke Eddard wear black clothes to serve as night watchman, we will not be able to fight the northern border. It is the south that we should be wary of." Adam said.

Kevan agreed with Adam's words: "The wise King Joffrey has changed his banner to a roaring lion and a crowned stag. Although he is called Baratheon, he is a Lannister."

The five or six people sitting in the secret room knew very well that Duke Tywin didn't like his dwarf son, the little devil, at all, and that he sent troops to the riverland only for Lannister's reputation.

He was so proud that he did not allow the trout and the pack of wolves to insult the roaring lion.

Now that James has been captured, and the South is at war again, they have to change their next combat objectives.

After all, Joffrey, who is already King's Landing, is a member of the Lion family, and the Emperor's Iron Throne is being challenged by his two "pro" uncles.

According to rumors, Renly and Stannis are not necessarily close, but they dare not say it here.

Tywin looked at the map for a long time, and finally said a sentence with a normal tone:

"Renly must be thinking that he is the real king now. We have the stupid green carrot and the weak Edmure to help deal with the most threatening to him. He only needs to hold a martial arts tournament at the Bitter Bridge , wait for the major forces in the north to decide the winner, and then lead all the troops in the south to go north and defeat the enemy in one fell swoop."

Adam nodded in agreement, "But he is just a usurper. Even if the initial battle is not smooth, the advantage is still on our side. The title of our ally, Earl Baelish, can be mentioned, let him marry Lady Lysa of the Valley , we will have the support of an army of [-] in the valley."

Kevan said: "The young and widowed Lady Lysa has attracted most of the young talents in the valley. It should be reported that the Eagle's Nest City is already crowded, and the Moon Gate Castle below the mountain is also full of suitors. Marrying her , can get the whole valley.”

"Actually, I want to go too. The titles of Duke and Guardian of One Realm are really tempting." Adam joked.

These words are just words, he is the number one heir of the earl family, and there is no need to compete with hundreds of people for the pre-selected position of Littlefinger.

"This matter is not urgent. Robb has never fought before, and everyone here can easily defeat this brat." Tywin turned around and looked at everyone present with his deep eyes.

"What's more, the current battle situation is not going well. At this time, if you take out the good cards of Littlefinger and Gudi, the rewards for him will increase."

The valley not only has a large grain-producing area in the Mingyue Valley, but also has a large amount of mineral deposits. It also relies on special products such as scented candles and special spices, as well as geographical advantages and close contacts with the free trade city-states on the other side of the narrow sea. , ranking third in the whole continent.

If the valley is mobilized to the limit, more than [-] troops can be recruited, including the valley cavalry who are famous throughout the continent.

You know, the Knights of the Valley are well-known knights who can be compared with the Kingsguard, White Harbor Knights, and Lannister House Heavy Cavalry.

"Tyrion and Lady Stark are still missing, and neither White Harbor nor the Freys have reported them to us. We are still carrying out our plan to clear the riverlands until we find my youngest son, or fight I couldn't hold on to Tully's house, so I proposed to exchange hostages."

Kevan catered to his elder brother's idea, "That's right, we have Duke Eddard and Robb's two younger sisters in our hands, so the advantage is still great. Although I don't know what Madame Stark is going crazy, but in Tilly Before Ang, we did not have conflicts with the northern border."

Tywin pointed to Adam on the right, "The task of besieging Shili City is up to you. Before Genos clearly refuses to get my son out, just feign an attack. As for that Arthur, find a way to capture him, and then explore Take a breath. Tell him, I am a person who cherishes talents, and I will not be prejudiced against him just because he killed the Mountain."

The Guardian of the Western Territory pointed to his younger brother again, "You are now crossing the Red Fork River and taking over the 6000 people who are part of the division. The war will be very long in the future. Stave needs to continue to gather troops in Lannister Port. We are ready for the final battle with Renly. Edmure loves his own civilians very much, we can start from this point, set a trap, and give the trout family a hard time."

According to his original plan, Stafford would have been gathering troops in the hinterland of the western region and training the peasant soldiers he had gathered, but the capture of his eldest son disrupted the previous arrangement.

The news of Renly and the rebellion in the southern border has come. As the governor of the lion family, he has to prepare for a fight with the southern border people's congress.

"No problem." Kevan closed the little book in his hand that collected all kinds of information, "Defeating the Riverrun Army will also allow Earl Janos to show off his family's famous skills faster."

"Everyone." Duke Tywin leaned his hands on the beech wood table and looked around the five or six people, "Robert's short-lived dynasty has come to an end, and we Westerners will have the final say on the future Westeros continent, but here Before, we had to swat down a few buzzing flies."

"Everyone has to work hard until the Westlanders win the war."

Adam flattered him lightly, "In the future, historians will write a biography for Lannister. Conquering the Riverlands will be your first step in establishing the mainland for your grandson."

"Perhaps!" Duke Tywin did not deny.

"Now, let our roar be heard all across the river, and the trout and the wolves know that the majesty of House Lannister is inviolable."
