Game of Thrones: I loaded the witcher system.

Chapter 258
Clay was going south, and Jon Royce was going east.

One needs to go back to his base camp for repairs, and the other, to a certain extent, also needs to meet his family.

The valley nobles quarreled for a long time, and after mocking each other's hypocrisy and cowardice, they unanimously agreed to bypass Earl Harroway's town and go directly back to the valley.

As for what will happen to Tywin Lannister, I'm sorry, after this battle is over and the Valley people have no power to fight again for a short time, their alliance with Lannister is actually over.

There are no more soldiers, what else can we do?
It is not accurate to say that, the population of the valley is also quite large, if we really want to mobilize, we will definitely be able to pull out many more people.

But the problem is, fighting this thing is a business.

Now it is obvious that his elite cavalry has been dealt with by Clay Mandalay, and sending weaker infantry over there, isn't that a reward for Clay Mandalay?

How could the valley nobles do such a clear loss-making business?
There was hatred on the battlefield between them, the people from the northern border and the people from Hejian, but they had no conflicting interests.

And hatred is the most unreliable thing among nobles, sometimes.

If there is, it means that the golden dragon is not enough.

have to add money.

As for the attack on the northern border, to put it bluntly, it was a successful speculation by Littlefinger.

But later, they were pinned down and whipped by Clay Manderly, then the business failed, and the master just quit.

Anyway, this is how the valley nobles understood the current situation.

As for calming the anger of the northerners in the end, that's easy, didn't Littlefinger Petyr propose it?
Alas, we are all nobles of the valley who love each other, and we borrow your head for use.

what?
disagree?
Seeing what you said, you are being stingy, aren't you?

I believe that Lord Petyr will understand our difficulties and will make an excuse generously.

Am I right?Lord Petyr?

Everyone thinks so, because they, like the northerners and the people of the river, lack the claim to the Iron Throne.

It's nothing more than a question of standing in line.

……

Since Jon Royce is determined to run, he will naturally not delay any further.

The old boy moved very quickly, and there was nothing he could do if he was unhappy, so there was only this little food left.

Clay sent people to take down Earl Harroway's town, and more than one place was out of food.

There was a problem with the original arrangement of the Valley people. After defeating Rob Stark, their hearts floated to the sky. Otherwise, how could these things happen?
Three thousand cavalry opened the way, guarding the remaining more than 3000 infantry and walking slowly.

Jon Royce has sold Leonor Corbray's £2000.

This is if the more than 3000 infantry are left behind and then eaten by Clay Mandalay.

Then even if he, Jon Royce, returns to Runestone City, he will be beaten by other angry valley nobles.

This matter, even the Ayrin family can't do it, let alone his Royce family is not the guardian family of the valley.

What Jon Royce didn't know was that as he walked back slowly and tremblingly, there was a person who wanted to beat him to death in his heart.

……

"You idiot who deserves to go to the Seven Hells, why did I believe other people's words and hand over the army to such a waste!"

In the Lannister barracks outside Harrenhal, in one of the most luxurious tents in the entire camp.

Tywin Lannister poured himself a glass of dark red wine expressionlessly, and with emerald green eyes, he calmly looked across at the former chancellor of the Exchequer, Earl Petyr, who rarely broke his defense.

Oh no, not the earl, he should be called the Duke of Petyr, because he asked Joffrey Baratheon, who had completely become a puppet, for the title of Duke.

As for the fiefdom, it was naturally in front of him, the ruined Harrenhal that both Lannister and he wanted to enter.

And the process of getting this title is also very interesting.

Petyr, the ex-Chancellor of the Exchequer, threw himself at the feet of Joffrey Baratheon, who was sullen and would only beat and abuse his subordinates every day.

Crying is called a sad one, with snot and tears, and the meaning of the expression is very clear.

Your Majesty, I, Petyr, didn't betray you back then, I just went out to get reinforcements for you.

My loyalty to His Majesty the King has never changed.

Originally, this set, if Renly or Stannis sat on the throne, this person would have been dragged out to feed the dogs.

But Joffrey, a child who had actually lost his throne and was deprived of power, had been bored in this big camp for so long, and his twisted psychology, which was already gloomy, now completely turned to rain.

And at this time, Petyr gave him such a scene of loyal ministers returning, which made him amused.

According to Joffrey Baratheon's temperament, it is estimated that Petyr will call himself the guardian of the East at this time, and he, a king without any power, will give it to him.

He never knew the weight of the crown under the blessing of power.

Treating the kingdom as his own private property, even if he could return to King's Landing and sit on the Iron Throne again, in the end, he would die under another conspiracy.

Unfortunately, he won't have that chance again.

Looking at his nominal ally coldly, he scolded his general in charge as a waste in front of him.

Tywin Lannister couldn't help feeling absurd in his mind.

Is this his ally?

But the question was, who else could he ally with but the Valemen?
It is even more impossible for the people of the river and the people of the north to report to the group, and the two Baratheons, as long as Joffrey is still the king.

Who is left?

Oh, and there is Daenerys Targaryen, who is recruiting in Dorne and getting stronger every day.

Tywin Lannister knows exactly what his army did in King's Landing.

That's a sea of ​​blood and deep hatred, the real immortality.

Therefore, with such a big Westeros, Tywin Lannister had to pinch his nose and do everything possible to win over the people of the valley.

He has been able to persist until now, and he can still gain the initiative locally. It is already Tywin Lannister who has used his life's wisdom to operate crazily.

If his restless eldest son, James, were to take command of this, the entire Lannister family would either be in a prison with no lights, or their heads would have been chopped off.

"Okay, Lord Petyr, put away your complaints, it's useless."

Duke Tywin glanced coldly at the opposite Duke of Harrenhal who was performing hard, and said indifferently.

Hearing that Tywin Lannister was finally willing to talk to him, the expression on Petyr's face changed as quickly as a typhoon of magnitude [-].

The angry and unwilling expression just now subsided at the speed of light, and replaced with his signature narrow smile.

他 说:

"Lord Tywin, my army has not completed their mission."

Tywin Lannister responded immediately.

"Yeah, because of their stupidity, we lost the most important place."

"Did you know that Earl Harroway's town is lost, and if you go to other places, the loss will be twice as high as usual."

"Not to mention it's been damned rainy lately, the whole river has now turned into a muddy pond, and all the grain trucks will be stuck in the mud."

Petyr just smiled, catching Tywin Lannister's spit with his face.

In this matter, it is the responsibility of the valley people, and it is useless to ask anyone to deny it.

Some time ago, Tywin Lannister forcibly increased the intensity of the siege regardless of the casualties and the state of the soldiers.

He just wanted to take down Harrenhal before the camp was completely out of food, and then he could negotiate with the northerners and the riverlanders.

Yes, it is negotiation.

He didn't want to fight anymore, because he couldn't move anymore.

When he knew that Clay Manderly had sent an army of thousands of people out of nowhere to capture the town of Earl Harroway, he realized that the people of the Valley might be doomed.

The following things really did not go beyond his guess.

Clay Manderly easily defeated the commander of the Valley Army, Yon Royce, with a weak force, causing him heavy losses.

Hearing this news, Duke Tywin knew that even if he captured Robb Stark, the most he could do was ask for a decent armistice agreement with the northerners and the people of the river.

Because if he continued to struggle, the army commanded by Clay Mandalay would completely defeat him before he starved to death, and then let him experience the feeling of being a prisoner.

"Your Excellency, no matter what, you have to think of a way, don't you?"

Petyr didn't seem to have heard what Tywin Lannister said at all.

The smile on his face should be as sincere as possible. Of course, this is for those who don't know him well.

"If I had listened to you Lord Petyr and was ready to think of a way, the Lannister family would have ceased to exist long ago."

Duke Tywin waved his hand indifferently.

He personally has a very bad impression of Littlefinger.

Because he smelled a familiar smell on this once little chancellor of the exchequer.

That taste is called ambition.

It is different from ordinary people's ambitions for land, wealth, and women.

Tywin no longer cares about these pursuits.

What they see with their eyes is much wider than these things.

Like, a golden crown?
Tywin Lannister couldn't understand why an insignificant nobleman would stare at the chair in King's Landing.

But as Petyr came to today step by step, with his own wrist, he successfully controlled the valley and brought them into the war.

The old lion felt that he gradually understood Petyr.

Petyr couldn't rely on his bloodlines to gain power, so his way of thinking was to smash all the noble and ancient bloodlines to pieces.

Now that all the glory of the ancient blood is gone, then his humble blood is no longer a shackle.

Tywin understood, and knew it clearly in his heart.

But now, he has to continue working with this guy.

Tywin Lannister is now alone.

"I have ordered my son James to lead the army from Crake Hall, and then come all the way to meet me."

"Don't you want to go to the Golden Tooth City? Maybe Sir James can repeat the brilliant victory of a year ago."

Littlefinger froze for a moment, then asked with a smile.

"I don't need you to worry about that. If you leave Golden Tooth City, you may be able to win, but so what?"

"Besides, you know better than I do who the current rulers of the Northern Territory and the Riverlands are."

There was an indifferent light in Duke Tywin's emerald green eyes.

Petyr Baelish nodded and said in a low voice:
"Indeed, Clay Manderly is a problem we can't handle."

"Originally, I was thinking of a way to make the people in Hejian disobey his command."

"But this kid did an amazing job. With his own prestige, he wiped out Edmure Tully's military power with a few words."

"The most disgusting thing is that the few people with real power in Gudi are still his hardcore supporters."

Hearing this name, the two dancers wearing masks seemed to have finally found a common topic.

"You people of the valley, after this battle is over, don't feel uncomfortable with Clay Manderly on the battlefield for the time being."

"We...wait for news from King's Landing."

"Also, you'd better start by contacting the Dorne nobles you know."

"Let them exaggerate the threat of the northerners in front of Daenerys, the evil dragon."

"It would be even better if Dragon Flame was poured on his head first."
