Chapter 702 Letters
The atmosphere was a little nervous, and neither Varis nor Pychil didn't say anything. After all, this was not something they could decide. The only thing they had to look at was Ye Junwen's attitude. Ed looked at Ye Junwen nervously, waiting for his decision.
"Yes." What surprised the three of them was that Ye Junwen didn't seem to think for too long, so he gave his answer and agreed. However, Ye Junwen's words were not over yet, "But I also have some requests."
"Please say, Your Majesty," Ed said.
"This matter is not something you can decide alone. After all, you are not a member of the Baratheon family, right?" Ye Junwen said, "If they decide to fight me to the end, why should I keep them? That way, I agreed with you that when the battle is decided, I can ask you to send a letter to the Baratheon family. You can convince them to leave some blood and give it to you to raise. If they agree, I will not touch these people. If they disagree and decide to fight to the end, then I will not be polite. What do you think of such conditions?"
Ed thought for a moment and felt that Ye Junwen was not a problem, which was already a very generous way. To be honest, he could still make such a decision at this time, which means that Ye Junwen was indeed kind. So Ed thought about it, and also knelt on one knee, and said to Ye Junwen: "On behalf of the nobles in the North, I decided to be loyal to you, Ye Junwen. His Majesty Targaryen, I hope you can abide by this agreement."
In fact, Ye Junwen's promise to Ed was not a complicated matter. Of course, according to the general idea, Baratheon and other thieves should naturally be eliminated quickly. Leaving one is a threat to the throne. But this is just a general idea, and it is not such a troublesome thing for Ye Junwen, because Ye Junwen didn't want this throne, and he didn't want his dynasty to be in peace or long-term. Anyway, he came here for plane invasion, preparing to see what resources can be used here, and on the other hand, he thought the current situation was more fun. Ye Junwen, like the throne, was not very interested in it, but ascending the throne is currently more convenient, so he is definitely different from ordinary kings. If Ye Junwen really wants to ensure his dynasty's long-term stability, he will definitely be able to eradicate the roots, but it's not the case now.
Varis and Paceel next to him didn't say anything about this decision. They were not very familiar with Ye Junwen and didn't know Ye Junwen's personality very well. It's not that Ye Junwen is really kind, but just comforted Ed for the time being. Anyway, they don't plan to persuade him or something about this, especially Paceel, who is still just surrendering to Ye Junwen on the surface.
"Your Majesty, since the North has chosen to surrender, I suggest that Your Majesty let Lord Ed continue to serve as the King's Hand." At this time, Varis also said. Ed was originally the King's Hand, and what he has been doing these days is also the King's Hand, but his official position has not been restored yet. Varis also took the opportunity to ask Ye Junwen to restore his post. Besides, Ed's take office as the King's Hand is to announce the news of surrender to everyone in the North, which is naturally a good thing for Ye Junwen.
Ye Junwen knew that the King's Hand meant the Prime Minister, and nodded. After all, there were no one around him who was easy to use. Ed looked like an upright person, but Ye Junwen was not sure whether he had any talent, so he could only use it for the time being: "Ed Stark, I am now officially granting you the King's Hand position."
"I am willing to be loyal to Your Majesty." Ed knelt on one knee again, and Varis next to him handed the badge of the king's hand at the right time. Ye Junwen also took it and handed him to Ed.
"Now let's talk about the current situation and plans, the King's Hand." Ye Junwen said to Ed.
"The enemies we are facing at present are mainly three aspects," Ed said. "First is the 100,000 troops led by Lanli Baratheon in the south, which is our biggest threat at present. However, most of his troops are troops from the river bay, and the Tyriar family is not clear at the moment. And with Dorn, they are not sure whether they will support His Majesty, so we can observe this first and wait for their response. So we are currently facing two aspects, one is Stannis Baratheon in the east, and the other is Lannister's troops in the north."
Edd paused, and then continued: "First of all, Stannis's side, their troops were about 2,000 people..."
"I'll just get in touch." Varis said here. "According to current intelligence, Stannis's troops may have more than 2,000 people, because they contacted some nearby pirates, who seemed willing to fight for him..."
"The king later contacts the pirates... it's okay." Ye Junwen said.
"Anyway... Stannis's troops are now on Dragonstone Island." Ed continued here, "Dragonstone Island is His Majesty's tribe. When the people there heard the news of His Majesty's ascendance to the throne, they should be waiting for His Majesty's return. If we attack Dragonstone Island, we should have the opportunity to quickly capture Dragonstone Island."
"Clan land?" Ye Junwen was a little stunned.
It is obvious that Varis and the others knew that Ye Junwen had not lived in Westeros, so they also explained it to him. Dragon Stone Island has been the Targaryen family since ancient times. Before the Targaryen family became king of the Seven Kingdoms, the fief was on Dragon Stone Island. Since then, Dragon Stone Island has been directly under the Targaryen family, and is generally the fief of the crown prince. After the Baratheon family seized the throne, the island was granted to Robert's younger brother, Stannis. However, after all, the Targaryen family has only been usurped for fifteen years. The civilians on the island did not accept the people of the Baratheon family. Of course, they still supported Targaryen in their hearts. Therefore, Ed said to fight Dragon Stone Island first. As long as Ye Junwen went over, the people on the island would probably be more likely to be on Ye Junwen's side soon, so naturally there would be no base for the people, and Stannis probably wouldn't last long.
"First capture Longshi Island and deal with Stannis's troops. At the same time, recruit troops under the leadership of the king, gather troops to head north, unite our northern troops, and defeat the Lannister army." Ed continued, this was the plan he set for Ye Junwen.
"Then how many troops do we have now?" Ye Junwen asked.
"This... is about 600 people." Ed said, "Your Majesty, many of our troops were Lannister's troops before. In the past few days, many troops have disappeared. It is estimated that they have left King's Landing and returned to the Western Region. Currently, there are only about 600 people who can gather together."
"Then how many ships do we have?" Ye Junwen asked.
"This..." Ed couldn't answer because they had no ship at all.
"I thought about it carefully. In my first battle on stage, I had to do a big wave of troops, which destroyed 2,000 people. I felt that the shock was not very high." Ye Junwen said, "Kill the chicken to warn the monkey. Now there are so many rebels and so many forces waiting and watching. In this first battle, I must give them a good look at my strength. You are right."
"Then your Majesty means..." Ed asked.
"Where is the Lannister family's troops?" Ye Junwen asked.
"Your Majesty, the troops in the Western Front are currently divided into two units. The troops led by Tywin are near Herrenburg, and the other unit is defending the Western Front." Varis said.
"Then in this way, let's deal with this army led by Tywin first and destroy Herenberg." Ye Junwen thought for a while and said.
"Huh?" Ye Junwen finished speaking. Whether it was Varis or Ed, Pai Shiel looked at Ye Junwen with surprise.
"What's wrong?" Ye Junwen asked.
"Your Majesty, your ancestor Aegon I was the first to attack during the Conquest War...." Varis said here. Yes, this feeling of déjà is simply the feeling of Aegon I's being alive.
"Okay, just follow the footsteps of our ancestors." Ye Junwen said.
As he was talking, a guard suddenly came into the door, looked at Ed, and handed a letter with a paint seal to Ed. Ed looked at it. It was a letter sent from his home. He opened it immediately and soon, his face changed slightly.
"What's the situation?" Varis asked quickly. After all, the news from the northern border is very important now.
"Something happened." Ed said, "I asked the troops from the North to gather and wait for my orders before, but what I didn't expect was that there was an accident after the troops gathered."
Ed quickly explained that the troops in the northern border were divided into two units, one was preparing to attack the western border, and the other was Tywin's troops in the north, but before they separated, Ed was released from prison, so he contacted the northern border and asked them not to attack and obey his orders. After all, Ed didn't know if Ye Junwen would agree to his conditions, but unexpectedly, something happened when the troops merged together.
The troops that were preparing to attack the West before defeated the Lannister family and captured James Lannister. As a result, Robert took James back to gather and rushed out and immediately rushed out to kill the prisoner. The man was called Reckard Kastark. He wanted to kill James because his two sons were killed by James. Both sides were full of blood hatred, so Reckard insisted on killing James. If Robert didn't listen to him, he said that he would not listen to Robert.
This is obviously a reversal. The situation in the army is a bit troublesome. Some people in the Kastark family support it. Seeing that the situation is wrong, they hurried to write a letter to Ed. After all, Ed is the commander of the North. What they mean is to ask Ed to go back and take charge of the overall situation as soon as possible.
