I’m Going Both Ways On Game Of Thrones
Chapter 402 The Southern War
The lords of the eastern border are still huddled in the valley among the mountains, vying for Mrs. Lysa, trying to occupy the magpie's nest, to seize the eastern border guard of the Arryn family and the title of duke of the Eagle's Nest.
With Robb's death and Stannis' defeat, the whole of Westeros suddenly presented a victory for the Lannisters, and it seemed that Joffrey's throne was about to be firmly established.
However, with the news from the north, Roose-Burton was defeated by the army of Jason East, Earl of Starfire City, and the Bolton family became the prisoner of Jason East. The forces in the north made a comeback again, and continued Southward trend.
Immediately pouring cold water on the Lannister family celebrating their victory in King's Landing, the Lannister family and the Tyrell family in King's Landing looked at Jason East, the foreign earl who had suddenly risen.
"What's up with that Jason Easter?"
Red Fort Council Chamber, High Court Mace Tyrell- Duke of the Reach looked suspiciously at the former royal ministers present, "I just heard in High Court that that foreigner sells a lot of unique goods, where did he get the tens of thousands of troops? "
The Reach is in the southernmost part of Westeros, thousands of kilometers from the North, Mace Tyrell-I don't know much about Jason Easter, the famous businessman.
The intelligence chief, Varys White, clasped his tender hands together, his face covered with powder, showing a regretful expression, and said in a soft voice, "Lord Tyrell, you have been in the south for a long time, and you don't know the Jason Easter in the north. The Earl is also excusable. My little bird told me that a few months ago, when Robb Stark was fighting our Ser Jaime at Riverrun, that Lord Jason had done a great job in the war. The cavalry under him were equipped with stab-proof clothing that was better than iron armor, and the steel bows and arrows in their hands shot far and sharp,
Saying that, Varys turned his head and glanced at the former Prime Minister Tywin Lannister, who was sitting on the top.
Duke Tywin's face was expressionless, his blue eyes were calm and calm, "Go on!
Varys bowed his head slightly, and then continued, "The Lord Jason recruited hundreds of thousands of refugees from the riverlands, brought them back to the territory he rented from the Stark family, and built a large-scale building on that wasteland. Starfire City, relying on the huge profits made by monopolizing those unique commodities, Jason East has a standing army of at least 20,000 people!"
"--20,000 standing army?" Duke Mace exclaimed, it was too terrifying, even the wealthy Tyrell family would not dare to maintain an army of 20,000 people.
One is unaffordable, and the other is unnecessary.
Anyway, according to the tradition of fighting in Westeros, the lord brings some of his elite soldiers, and then summons the peasants and peasants under his command to follow the battle.
This saves money and effort, and no one has such a standing army as that Jason East.
As the captain of the Kings Guard, James Lannister was also shocked by the powerful strength of that Count Jason Easter.
In his impression, the young Jason East was an aristocratic businessman who sold all kinds of exotic commodities. How did he suddenly become a powerful nobleman?
"Although it's unbelievable, my little birds can't be wrong about the news!" Varys shrugged, in fact, he was equally shocked inside.
It is unbelievable that a foreigner who has no roots in Westeros has created such a powerful force in just two years.
"Now that Roose Bolton has been captured by the other party, with the support of Jason East, the Stark family will be more stable in the rule of the north. This is a major threat!" The old face of Senior Scholar Paisil showed worry.
Varys thought for a while and reminded, "It is said that the soldier under the command of Lord Jason uses a weapon that has never been seen before with smoke, fire and loud noise. Maybe this also needs special attention."
"Smoke, fire and loud noise? What kind of weird weapon is this?" James looked confused.
Duke Tywin was also suspicious (baah) in his heart, but he didn't take it too seriously, and after thinking about it, he said, "That Jason Easter's choice to support the Stark family is indeed a trouble for us, but, Now that he is the strongest in the north, he will not be willing to even have a fief, maybe he can try to provoke their relationship from this aspect!"
Indeed, the territory where Jason East built Starfire City was rented from the Stark family, not his at all.
With a formidable military strength, no one in the entire northern region can compete. Presumably the young earl must not be reconciled to having only a small territory.
Duke Tywin intends to give Jason Easter the domain of the Bolton family in Dreadfort in the name of the Iron Throne, so that the Stark family will have a gap with him.
Because he is temporarily unable to send troops to attack the northern border, he needs to sit in the city of Junlin, and his army will continue to fight, and it will take a while to cultivate.
So, Tywin decided to use his best intrigue to divide the relationship between the Stark family and the East family.
In this regard, the imperial ministers present here agreed.
Of course, there were only five of the so-called important ministers in front of the imperial court. The Minister of Finance, Littlefinger, was sent to the east to persuade Lady Lysa to submit to the Iron Throne.
They need a chancellor.
At the end of the royal meeting, Duke Tywin took the lead out of the meeting room, and James quickly followed behind.
Since half a month ago, after Duke Tywin defeated Stannis' army outside King's Landing, he led his army into the city and began to perform his duties as the former Prime Minister.
As for Tyrion, who was temporarily acting as the former Prime Minister, he was sent aside by Duke Tywin.
He didn't look down on the ugly dwarf Tyrion at all, and couldn't forgive this little monster who didn't look like his own child at all, but took his wife's life when he was born.
With himself sitting in King's Landing, Duke Tywin was confident that he didn't need Tyrion's cleverness, so he sent him directly to the Red Fort, wherever he went.
Of course, Tyrion was very unwilling. In order to stabilize the order of King's Landing, he racked his brains and tried his best to protect King's Landing from being broken by Stannis.
As a result, I only got a sentence from Duke Tywin, "It's hard work, and then I was swept out of the house.
This made Tyrion resentful. He was supposed to be the hero who guarded King's Landing, but now he was thrown out of the Red Keep like a clown by people.
But no one cared about Tyrion's feelings. Everyone was surrounded by Duke Tywin, who was in power and held an army of tens of thousands, completely forgetting who led them to defend King's Landing under the attack of Stannis' army.
It's unfair to him, so unfair!
