Game of Thrones: From Lord Elden to Young Wolf
Chapter 32 The King's Ministers
The instinct to become a king is engraved in Robb's soul.
The nobles of the riverlands are eager for someone to lead them and take revenge on the Lannister family.
The lords of the North are unwilling to make a wasted trip. They now have a huge advantage and are eager to gain more benefits in the war.
War is a beast that chooses people to devour and never knows how to be satisfied. Once it starts, it will quickly arouse people's desires until it is temporarily filled.
Obviously, the desires of the riverlands and the lords of the North are far from being filled. The behemoth of war is still dormant in everyone's heart.
So it is natural for Robb to be supported as the King of the North.
Although his acting skills are a bit superficial, fortunately no one cares about this.
After the performance, Robb returned to his original expression and set the tone for the play.
"At present, our essence is to restore the status of the North as an independent kingdom three hundred years ago, not to claim the entire Westeros continent like Joffrey and Renly."
"But I will no longer inherit the dukedom and be promoted to king."
"As for the legal principles, don't worry about it. Just like the Targaryen family conquered the Westeros continent, the power I have is the reason why I am king."
The nobles in the riverlands and the north were in a carnival, and the boss officially claimed his throne!
From now on, Robb Stark will become the King of the North, and the territory he governs will spread from the North to the riverlands.
The boss's status has been improved, which is a great thing!
If the boss doesn't get promoted, how can he get promoted?
If he doesn't get promoted, how can his subordinates get promoted?
How can the subordinates work for him if they can't get benefits?
If the subordinates don't work hard, there will be no one in their hands, and the boss will not value him. How can he get promoted?
This is the cycle of war.
Looking at the joyful expressions on the faces of his men, Robb began to arrange the work: "Great Jon, Rickard Karstark and Lord Jason Mallister, the three of you will take your men to the west bank of Riverrun to camp. The town there is big enough to accommodate you.
After the hostage exchange is completed, you will immediately launch an army to attack the Westerly, erode their territory, and take all the money, food and people. The Riverlands have been hit hard, and they cannot be replenished in a short time if they are not taken back."
The three brave earls nodded in agreement, their faces full of excitement. Robbery is always a good job!
They are ready for a big battle.
——
After the meeting, Robb came to his grandfather's study, sat alone in a chair, and began to think about things that he could not tell his subordinates.
After two battles against the sky, his prestige in the North and the Riverlands has reached its peak.
The most obvious change is that there will no longer be nobles like the old weasel who want him to send troops and still want to bargain with him.
But secretly, it's hard to say what everyone thinks.
Robb took out a piece of paper and wrote down the names of four people.
The first one is Catelyn.
"Mother went to the new king Renly to lobby the Rose family. Renly held a wedding with Little Rose on the surface, but he likes men and got together with the Knight of Flowers of the Rose family."
"I guess the news of my victory over Lannister will soon reach mother, and King Renly will die inexplicably because of the evil magic cast by his brother. With mother's ability, there should be a chance to marry the Rose family."
On the paper, Robb marked his mother Catelyn with a red pen, which means everything is going well.
Next is Earl Tytos Lakewood, who went to King's Landing to negotiate with Tywin's army. He brought many of Robb's requests, the most important purpose of which was to exchange hostages.
Joffrey is easy to deal with, but Tywin and Cersei are not easy to deal with.
Earl Lakewood's trip should not be too smooth, but he has an advantage in the battle situation and should be able to achieve his goal in the end.
Robb painted black on the name of Tytos Lakewood, which means there is a problem, but the result will be as he wishes.
After painting, Robb looked at the name of Theon Greyjoy who was sent to the Iron Islands. As a partner who grew up with him, Theon's personal ability is not a problem.
But he came to the Stark family as a hostage. Although he has been baptized by his own two battles, it is still unknown whether he can withstand the intimidation of his father.
Unlike the original timeline, Robb knew that the Iron Islands would rebel and attack the North with a large army, so all the movements of the Iron Islands are currently under Robb's control, and Theon's personal choice is powerless to change the overall situation.
The reason why Robb is willing to let him go back is also a test of loyalty.
I just hope he can make the right decision.
Robb did not do anything on the name of Theon Greyjoy because he is insignificant.
Robb looked at the last name: Roose Bolton.
Now Roose Bolton is guarding the Kingsroad with 10,000 men, and is in a standoff with Tywin's army at Harrenhal.
"Although he was defeated before, his opponent is Tywin. Roose Bolton can hold on under Tywin's attack, which shows that his military talent is not weak."
If possible, Robb still wants to subdue Roose Bolton for his own use. He has already knocked on him several times before, but he doesn't know if this old guy can see the situation clearly.
Robb drew a mark on Roose Bolton's name, which means that this person still needs to be examined.
——
After thinking about the situation of the four important officials he sent out, Robb began to deal with the affairs of the Riverlands and Riverrun, of course, mainly military affairs.
"Before exchanging hostages with the Lannister family, the attack on the Westerly should be slowed down, but we can't do nothing. To resist foreign aggression, we must first stabilize the internal situation. We were in a hurry before, and now we finally have time to settle the internal affairs."
Robb's eyes wandered over the map of the North and the Riverlands, and finally determined his first target: Luanhe City.
"The old weasel in Luanhe City still has 4,000 people under his command, which is also a force that cannot be ignored. We had an enemy with the old weasel before, so we can't use these people. Now we have time to find his bad luck and settle the accounts properly."
Ringing the bell, a maid dressed in gorgeous clothes walked into the study.
"Go and call Sir Stevren Frey."
Soon, Stevren Frey, who was wearing armor and was almost old enough to be Robb's grandfather, walked out of the study. After opening the door, he knelt on one knee: "Your Majesty, what do you want to call me for?"
Robb nodded and said, "Have you communicated with your father recently?"
Steven Frey was shocked and was not sure if this was Robb's test. After all, Marquis Frey wanted to ask for benefits but failed, but was taught a lesson by Robb, which made the relationship between the two not so harmonious.
But he is the eldest son of the old weasel and the heir of Luanhe City. It is normal to communicate.
Thinking this through, Stevren Frey nodded: "There is communication, sir. My father congratulates you on your brilliant victory."
Robb smiled: "Congratulations to me? I'm afraid he is scared to wet his pants at this time."
