Chapter 81
He Shen turned his head and looked around. Mrs. Caitlin was sitting in the crowd, with a face that was difficult to say and hesitant.

He shook his head in disappointment: "No hurry! Keep him first."

He sent Xion away and dismissed his ministers.

He Shen stayed alone in the tent, playing with the long sword and thinking about how to act in the future.

At this point in time, according to the plot progression, the War of Five Kings is about to begin.

Among the Five Kings is Renly Baratheon, the "young stag".

Joffrey the stupid and cruel; Stannis the Son of Light; and Balon the Iron and Salt Lord.

The last one is Robb Stark, known as the "Young Wolf Lord", who is himself.

The strongest among them is Renly.

This guy chose to marry into the Tyrell family and rely on the wealth of the River Bend to obtain a large army.

Coupled with the support of all the princes of the Storm Kingdom, there are a hundred thousand troops, standing proudly among the heroes!

Not even He Shen dared to claim victory lightly.

As long as someone knows how to divide the troops, let him focus on one thing and lose another immediately.

However, this person is a big glass, and it is understood that he still teaches prescriptions.

In the end, he was killed by the shadow monster released by the red robe witch, so there was nothing to worry about.

As for the other three, only the Iron Islands could attract his attention.

After all, the Ironborn are overseas. Without the help of warships, He Shen can only look at the ocean and sigh!

Besides, King Balon has been coveting the North for a long time.

Now that he knows that He Shen is going south, he will definitely take advantage of the emptiness and send troops to plunder.

Once the news of the fall of the Northern Territory spread to the army, no matter it was the princes, generals, soldiers or servants, they all had no intention of fighting and just wanted to go home as soon as possible.

As a result, the good situation was wiped out in a blink of an eye.

After analyzing the situation, He Shen made a decision secretly.

That is to say, before fighting against the outside world, you must first make peace with the inside!

the next day.

He Shen accompanied Lady Catelyn to Riverrun to meet his cheap uncle and grandfather.

Grandfather Hoster Tully has been bedridden for many years, and is now even more unconscious.

Now his uncle Edmure Tully is in charge.

It's just that his uncle can be called a loser.

When meeting with him, He Shen showed a slight hint of a kingly attitude, but the man immediately lowered his head to avoid it.

That being the case, He Shen stood in the center of the living room in Riverrun, looking directly at Edmure Tully sitting on the stage.

He shouted loudly: "Uncle, everyone has respected me as the king of the north. Now I hope that you can surrender to me!"

As soon as these words came out, Lady Catelyn was alarmed. She stepped forward and took her son's arm and scolded him: "Robb! He is your uncle."

"He is the ruler of the Riverlands and the future Duke of the Tully family!"

He Shen didn't bother to defend himself, but instead stared at Edmure closely, his eyes slowly threatening.

In the end, the coward gave in.

Mao walked down from the stage, drew his sword, knelt down on one knee, and expressed his allegiance to He Shen.

This scene stunned Caitlin.

The clan motto she has remembered since she was a child: "Family, responsibility, honor!"

At this moment, it was shattered by the royal power.

Moreover, she suddenly felt that her son seemed to be a different person.

Could it be that war changes men so much?Then she thought of her dead husband, and her expression gradually froze.

In the evening, He Shen summoned the ministers again.

Because King's Landing sent a messenger to seek peace.

Heshen pretended to put forward his own conditions: "First, my two sisters must be released."

"Second, immediately return the remains of my late father and the remains of the guards who followed him."

"Third, King Joffrey and Cersei must relinquish control of the North. From now on, the North will become an independent kingdom."

When the ministers heard this, they all shouted: "Long live the King of the North!"

After seeing off the King's Landing messenger, the ministers resigned one after another.

Only good friend Xion was left lazily holding a glass of wine. It seemed that he had something to say. "Your Majesty, I want to talk to you."

Although he knew what he was doing, He Shen still responded cordially: "We are brothers, there is no need to call him "Your Majesty", we can speak freely."

Sean was very tactful and immediately refused.

Then reminded: "Lannister will not agree to our conditions, you should know."

"Of course I know!"

"Although we can fight with them to the end, we cannot defeat them unless we take King's Landing."

This is correct, He Shen nodded in agreement.

Seeing this, Xion continued: "Relying on your giant beast, we may be able to capture King's Landing, but the result will definitely be heavy casualties."

"When the time came, I captured it, but couldn't hold it, and instead became someone else's cake!"

Not to mention, this guy also has some military acumen.

He Shen did not interrupt him, but pretended to think seriously.

Then Theon went straight to the point: "We need a fleet to capture King's Landing as quickly as possible at the minimum cost!"

"My father has a fleet with a large number of helmsmen and sailors, which is exactly what we need."

"I am his only living son, he will definitely listen to me, I'm sure!"

He Shen did not agree immediately, but just stared at his friend, seeming to be hesitating.

"Lord Eddard has taught me since I was a child that honor is above all else, and I have always kept it in my heart." Theon said it sincerely and from the bottom of his heart.

If he hadn't known it in advance, Heshen would have almost believed it.

Even though he knew that this guy was just a kid, he still didn't expose it. Maybe he really was speaking from the bottom of his heart at this moment.

It just so happened that He Shenzheng had this intention, and simply replied sincerely: "Xion, I believe in you, go boldly, I am here waiting for your return!"

I reluctantly sent Xion off and just returned to the tent.

Lady Catelyn came hastily to the door.

He poured his son a glass of wine and immediately persuaded him: "Robb, the ironborn is not worthy of trust, and Balon Greyjoy is even less worthy of trust!"

Of course He Shen knows, but he can't say it clearly now.

He took a sip from the wine glass and explained with a smile: "We need a fleet now, and the Iron Islands happen to have one. I heard there are 200 longships."

"We need honest and reliable allies, not rats who go back on their word!"

Unable to change her son's mind, Caitlin was anxious.

Seeing how worried and helpless she was, I felt that this woman was cute for no reason.

She may be a little naive, but she is determined and far stronger than other women.

He Shen suddenly became interested and explained again: "Mother, I think you misunderstood."

Seeing that her son's words were conclusive, she calmed down. She pulled up a stool and sat down. She asked curiously, "It seems you have other ideas. Let's talk about it."

"I have been emphasizing just now that we need ships, not allies!" He Shen's eyes instantly became extremely sharp.

At first, Caitlin couldn't understand the meaning of the words, but she thought about it carefully.

I immediately understood his intention.

"Do you want to capture the Iron Islands fleet?"

"Not bad!"

"It seems that you have already thought of a countermeasure. Can you tell me about it?" Caitlin was a little curious.

He Shen changed his words and refused: "I'm sorry, it's inconvenient now!"

"In addition, I hope my mother can persuade Renly to ally with us, so that our military strength will be greatly increased."

"This will force the Lannisters to make peace with us, and our sisters will be rescued soon."

He Shen's move was purely to take away his mother and stop her from gesticulating here.

Finally Lady Catelyn agreed.

The next day, I sent my mother away.

He Shen immediately summoned the ministers and issued an order.

"Sir Brandon, I will leave you 5000 infantry to assist Edmure in defending Riverrun."

Blackfish Knight has a strong sense of responsibility and is worthy of entrustment.
