Game of Thrones: I Created the Magic Web

Chapter 114 Regent Tywin
All the ministers looked at Duke Tywin.

Although only his back can be seen, everyone has outlined his face, with cold eyes, expressionless face, and no fluctuation in every wrinkle.

Duke Tywin touched his chest and bowed, "I have seen His Majesty."

Joffrey smiled and nodded, "Grandpa, you don't need to be too polite, and Lord Ed is too. Please take a seat. We have important matters to discuss today."

A seemingly invisible power confirmation ceremony ended quietly.

The regent and ministers looked to the throne.The hundred-foot-tall Joffrey and the throne below him occupied the entire northern part of the hall, and the king looked down like ants on the ground.

"The southern rebels have begun to move, and the threat from the north is gradually approaching. Lord Ed, what do you think?"

Ed responded seriously, "Thanks to Your Majesty and the Sons of the Forest, the whereabouts of the wildlings beyond the Wall have been completely exposed, the White Walkers are still lurking, and the Night Watchmen can support them for the time being. The lords in the north are also raising troops, enough to guard the Great Wall."

The ministers remained calm.

The information in Duke Ed's words has long been stale.

But this is normal.

Duke Eddard had just come out of the Vale and hadn't even reached the Neck after three weeks' journey from King's Landing, visiting lords along the way and recruiting soldiers for the Iron Throne.

If it weren't for the light curtain of divine grace, Duke Ed might know even less about the changes in the northern border.

Ed hesitated for a moment, and then said, "There are many disputes among the princes in the riverland, and the Duke of Hoster in Riverrun can't stop it. Although he tried his best to gather troops, he still has less than [-] troops. The valley..."

Ed couldn't help recalling Lysa's weak and tired face, "Lady Lysa seems to have a deep misunderstanding of the royal family."

Of course Joffrey understood.He watched the entire meeting between Ed and Lysa.

In front of Ed, Lysa hardly concealed her hostility and vigilance. Fortunately, she did not dare to slander Jon Arryn's death and her own life experience.

In any case, King's Landing's own strength is sufficient. As long as the three northern kingdoms do not rebel and continue to deliver supplies, this war will be much smoother than the original War of the Five Kings.

When Renly is dealt with, if Lysa still doesn't understand, then it's time to settle the score.

Duke Eddard looked at the map below, "Baron Greyjoy of the Iron Islands will not remain indifferent to the chaos in the Seven Kingdoms. Even if Theon is a hostage, we must beware of the Iron Fleet."

"Both the riverland and the west coast may be attacked." Ed worried.

Joffrey couldn't help recalling the plot of the original book.

Ed probably never expected that Balon Greyjoy would keep his eyes on the North.But now, the troops in the northern border have not gone south, maybe Baron is still a little sensible, and will not go deep into the vast northern border.

So, where will the Iron Fleet go?

Joffrey looked at Duke Tywin, "Grandpa, what do you think?"

Duke Tywin remained expressionless, "The strength of Casterly Rock City is sufficient to defend against the attacks of the Iron Islands and the Reach. The princes of the Riverlands can gather more soldiers at any time, so there is no need to worry."

The Riverlands are Catelyn's home.Ed wanted to defend himself, but the negative response of Hejian to the royal family's call was an obvious fact, so he could only keep silent.

Tyrion sighed, "The Riverlands have always been like this. I can understand Duke Hoster's difficulties. I just hope that the Tully family will try their best to mediate and send more food to King's Landing. There are more and more people in the city. "

This is a legitimate request.Ed could only guarantee that, "The Tully family has always been loyal to the throne."

The old Horst of the Tully family is sick and will die at any time, the young Edmure Tully is not strong, and Lysa of the valley is stern, and the backbone of the Three Kingdoms Alliance in the North is undoubtedly Duke Eddard who is in his prime.

Ed's assurances are very credible.

Joffrey looked at Stormlands, "Grandpa, what do you think Renly will do next?"

With the help of God, those present learned a lot of information about the southern rebels.Troop deployment, leading generals, and even secret decisions.

Duke Tywin said in a deep voice: "The information is already very clear. Renly pretended to attack Cape Marseilles, adding to King's Landing's burden, and at the same time luring our army to attack south, waiting for an opportunity to ambush and attack."

"But that's not the main plan of the rebels."

Lord Tywin pointed to the Golden Road, "Renly's army in the Stormlands is dredging the road to the west, and the rebel vanguard from Bitterbridge has appeared near the Golden Road."

"The rebels want to cross the Blackwater River from the upper reaches, avoid the disadvantage of the fleet, and attack King's Landing from the north."

This isn't anything new either.

Joffrey didn't just want to hear Renly's plan again, "Grandpa, in this case, the main battle will be some ferry in the upper reaches of the Blackwater River?"

Lord Tywin said, "Indeed, if we decide to prevent the rebels from crossing the river."

If the rebels were allowed to cross the river and enter the river land, they would certainly suffer some losses, but after winning, they would be able to wipe out the rebels to the greatest extent.

Joffrey looked at the ministers, "So, shall we stop?"

Duke Ed immediately suggested, "Winter is approaching, and the food in the farmland in the Riverlands is the only hope for countless people to survive the long winter. They cannot withstand the devastation of war."

Tyrion looked at the stretching Blackwater River on the map and sighed, "Whether Renly is arrogant or Duke Mace is too proud. It is easy to cross the Blackwater River, but once you fail, it is difficult to go back. Could it be that they Do you think you will win?"

James looked at Duke Ed, "Kill all the rebels on the north bank of the Blackwater River, the war will subside faster, and the Seven Kingdoms will truly settle down."

Ed frowned immediately.

Erin retorted first, "With the power of His Majesty's grace, where can't the rebel army be wiped out? Why do you have to let the rebel army rampage in the riverland?"

Hannah also agreed, "The national treasury is empty and the material reserves are insufficient, so we should take the initiative to attack."

Lord Tywin looked at the throne.

Grand Maester Pai Sear asked respectfully, "It's hard to compare the pros and cons. I wonder if Your Majesty has made a decision?"

The ministers stopped speaking and looked at the king one after another.

Joffrey threw a beam of light at Stormlands, "There is no need to wait for the rebels to join. Once the Stormlands rebels leave the castle and move westward, send ten thousand troops immediately to intercept the rebels in the king's forest."

Another beam of light fell on Bitterbridge in the Reach.

"If the Bitter Bridge rebels advance eastward to support them, they will increase their troops to fight decisively in Yulin. If they cross the river northward, they will intercept them at the ferry. If they attack the west, they will send troops to pursue them. If they stand still or retreat, then ignore it."

Joffrey looked at Duke Tywin, "In short, the west, the riverlands, and the king's land will not become battlefields."

Ed finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The Hound asked, "What mission will the army led by Lord Kevan be responsible for?"

In the war planned by the king, Harrenhal in the Riverlands is undoubtedly too far away. Where should Kevan's 2 soldiers be located?
The ministers looked at Duke Tywin.

Joffrey said indifferently: "At that time, King's Landing will definitely be empty of troops, and Lord Kevan's army will just enter King's Landing to fill the vacancy."

Lord Tywin nodded slightly, "Kevon will be willing to help."

Joffrey was satisfied.

With Lord Tywin's words, this meeting was not in vain.

No matter whose subordinate he was originally, as long as he entered King's Landing, he could only become the throne and the warrior of the gods.

The meeting in the "Throne Hall" is over.

Viserys, who led the way, stopped, "Your Majesty, your pet is still fast asleep."
