Chapter 208: Yang Conspiracy(1/2)
"Your Majesty, the families in the Reach who have betrayed their lord include the Hightower family in Oldtown and the Peake family in Starshuttle City.
The Maliweith family in Long Table Hall, the Ashford family in Ashford, the Plum Dou family in Greenvale City, the Fossoway family in Cider Hall, and the Caswell family in Bitterbridge.
Leaving aside the Hightower family for now, the other families are basically located close to the royal territory and the Dorne frontier."
In the former throne room of Highgarden, now the meeting hall. Lord Randyll was pointing at a large, finely drawn map on the long table to introduce to Robb and others the specific situation of the Reach after the War of Highgarden.
"With His Majesty's unexpected rescue, Tywin Lannister's goal of occupying Highgarden has failed. But he has succeeded in establishing a line of defense in our Reach.
Please see, all the important castles east of the Mander River are now connected. Although they have lost some of their troops, they can rely on the castles to at least delay them for some time.
According to the information Prince Oberyn told us, the Lannister family was not harmed at all during the War in Highgarden.
Moreover, the horses and weapons of the 20,000 cavalry and 10,000 infantry led by Sir Willas were basically pocketed in advance by the opponent on the pretext of finalizing the spoils of Highgarden.
In other words, in a short period of time, they can equip at least nearly 20,000 light cavalry. We all know that in the open and flat river bend, their mobility and lethality must not be underestimated.
Therefore, when we attack the castle on the east side of the Mander River, they will definitely make some countermeasures!"
"Well, Earl Landao's analysis is very thorough. I guess you already have a tactical plan in mind for the next crusade against the traitorous family, right?"
Looking with admiration at Lord Randyll who introduced Tywin's arrangements in just a few words, Robb asked in a very cooperative manner.
"Your Majesty, we currently have 30,000 cavalry and 10,000 infantry in Highgarden. In addition to the 15,000 troops led by you, the 10,000 troops of the Greyjoy family and the 10,000 troops of the Redwin family. A total of 70,000
Five thousand troops.
We can first let the Iron Fleet and the Redwyne Fleet head to Blackwater Bay with great momentum to block the seaport of King's Landing, forcing the Lannister family to withdraw their troops and return to King's Landing to aid.
Then, gather the remaining 50,000 troops to encircle and suppress the traitorous families in the Reach as quickly as possible."
Lord Landau nodded to Robb upon hearing this, and then spoke out loud his expected tactical plan.
"Lord Randyll, even I can see the problem with your plan! If I were Tywin, I would defend King's Landing, regardless of whether Blackwater Bay is blocked.
Anyway, it’s impossible to capture King’s Landing with just two fleets!”
Upon hearing this, the Duke of Metz, who had always liked to criticize Count Landau, was the first to stand up and point out the loopholes in his plan.
well!
Seeing her son's behavior, Olenna, who had been listening carefully just now, covered her face with her hands and tilted her head, sighing heavily.
"If Tywin does not withdraw his troops and return to defend King's Landing, then the current 50,000 troops will turn into a big net, trapping the Lannister army in the Reach.
The northern cavalry army I left in the west will set off from the Golden Road, and the Tully family army from the Riverlands will set off from the King's Road. When the time comes, we will attack King's Landing from three sides.
This is a conspiracy to suppress with military force!
Either throw away the defenses of the Reach or throw away King's Landing, Tywin has no choice!"
Seeing that Lord Landau did not answer the Duke of Metz, Robb knew that he wanted to see his strategic vision, so he opened his mouth to complete the unfinished tactical plan.
"Your Majesty is wise!"
Lord Randyll, who had been wronged under the Duke of Mace for many years, saw a rare smile on the wise Robb's face and praised him heartily.
"Actually, I thought of it just now, but His Majesty just said it first."
Looking at his mother's eyes that were staring at him, the Duke of Metz grumbled and sat down slowly.
The other nobles present spoke out their praises one after another, praising Lord Randyll's good plan and also praising Robb's good vision.
Margaery, who was sitting next to Robb, had a rosy complexion and was becoming more and more charming because of her luxuriant life.
After experiencing the first two special king husbands, Margaery, who only wanted to be queen, felt that Robb was the perfect candidate in her heart.
At this time, listening to everyone including Lord Randyll praising Robb, Margaery's lustful eyes were flowing in her eyes. She couldn't help but reach out her hand towards Robb from under the table.
Eh? Is she so good at playing?
Feeling Margaery's naughty hand under the table, Robb complained secretly in his heart, but the expression on his face remained the same.
He coughed slightly and said to Earl Landau: "Well, Earl Landau, the implementation of your tactical plan requires that High Court returns to its usual calm order.
However, there are now about 30,000 prisoners in Highgarden alone. In addition, there is also the need to maintain normal order for a large number of laborers who are doing construction work.
It is simply impossible to send out all the troops stationed in Highgarden!"
"Yes, Your Majesty. Therefore, the most important thing for us at the moment is to resolve the troubles left by the Highgarden War. Then rely on the overwhelmingly superior force to slowly encroach on the Lannister area.
However, in my eyes, when the War of Highgarden is won, you will have gained the right to rule the Seven Kingdoms. It is only a matter of time before you ascend the Iron Throne!"
Lord Randyll nodded and acknowledged Robb's question, then expressed his thoughts.
No, please don’t use poisonous milk!
Hearing the words spoken by Lord Randyll, Robb immediately thought of a poisonous milk explanation from his previous life.
However, his words clearly resonated with everyone present, and even Olenna, who had always been quite sophisticated, nodded in agreement.
Feeling the increasingly wanton hand under the table, Robb sat upright and stretched out his hand to silence the meeting hall, and then said loudly: "We can despise the enemy's strategy, but we must pay attention to tactics!
Since our next tactical plan is indeed a conspiracy that Tywin cannot escape, he may also take this into consideration.
Therefore, we cannot slack off at all, we must deal with the trouble in High Court as soon as possible, and then start implementing the next tactical plan!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
After hearing Robb's words, all the nobles present immediately sat upright, and then answered in unison.
"Your Majesty, the date of your wedding to Margaery..."
Seeing that today's discussion had come to an end, Olenna asked Robb at the right time.
"Wedding? Don't worry about this. Let's talk about it after I ascend the Iron Throne!
After all, at this time, it is impossible for my mother and brothers and sisters to leave Winterfell and come to Highgarden."
As soon as Robb finished speaking, the atmosphere in the meeting hall suddenly became quiet. At the same time, the jade hand under the table that was constantly stimulating him also froze.
Robb suddenly understood that what he just said was inappropriate. After a slight pause, he continued: "Of course, no one can change the union of the Stark family and the Tyrell family. I hereby ask the gods in heaven to witness
!
Future weddings must be held at the Red Fort!
Because I don’t want to wrong Margaery, I must let her become the only queen of the Seven Kingdoms!"
As Robb finished saying these words, the atmosphere in the meeting hall suddenly became lively again. Especially the members of the Tyrell family, all with satisfied smiles on their faces.
When Robb turned his head and took a look, he saw that Margaery was like a delicate rose, and her eyes were full of spring.
“Then that’s the end of today’s discussion!”
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Seeing Margaery's appearance, Robb, who had been flirting with her, also felt warm in his heart. He announced directly to the nobles, and then walked towards her palace with Margaery.
Olenna looked at the backs of this pair of noble, handsome young men, and couldn't help but reveal a knowing smile on her lips.
…
The Riverlands, where the Brotherhood Without Banners resides.
After completing the trial of the Magic Mountain last night, Berry felt a little lost. Today he had been sitting blankly on a boulder where he could see the village all morning.
Da da da!
Suddenly, there was a rush of footsteps behind him. Soros was seen walking towards him quickly with a gloomy face.
"Berry, the Hound, and Brienne disappeared with the three children. Although they were a bit unsociable during this period, I didn't pay much attention to them.
It wasn’t until lunch time today that I didn’t see any of them and felt strange, and then I discovered it!”
As soon as he walked to Berry's side, Soros revealed his findings in one breath.
"Well, since they want to leave, let them leave!"
After hearing this, Bailey replied in a calm tone without looking back.
"However, they know the location of our station. If it is leaked, the peaceful life here will be ruined!"
Hearing Berry's seemingly unconcerned look, Soros pointed to the village ahead and said.
"Let's not talk about whether they will leak it and destroy it? By whom? The Mountain has been sacrificed to our lord, and the Lannister has been completely driven out of the Riverlands!"
"Well……"
Soros, who has been accustomed to hiding for such a long time, was speechless when Berry asked him.
Yes! Speaking of which, their goal of fighting in the Riverlands has been achieved, and there is no need to hide in XZ anymore!
After reacting, he slowly walked to the boulder where Berry was and sat down. He pulled out the cork of his wine bag and took a deep drink. Then he said, "Hey, I almost forgot if you didn't tell me. We seem to have already
No more enemies!"
"Last night, when Magic Mountain insulted my relatives, I suddenly realized that I seemed to have forgotten many important people and things.
After putting him on trial, I suddenly felt that everything after that was meaningless."
Berry did not follow Soros's words, but spoke softly to himself.
"No! After the battle at Harrenhal that I saw in the flames, the size of our Brotherhood Without Banners has grown unprecedentedly.
To be continued...
