Chapter Eighteen: Divorce

twin rivers

Through the concerted efforts of the large army, the damaged bridge was repaired and the castle was repaired.

Tywin Lannister of House Lannister, Jaime Lannister, Stannis Baratheon of House Baratheon, Renly Baratheon, Lysa of the Vale, Littlefinger,

Little Rose Margaery Tyrell of Highgarden in the Reach

They gathered in the banquet hall that had been transformed into a combat conference room.

Tywin is on the left side of the main seat, followed by the two brothers Jaime and Baratheon, and on the left are Lysa of the Vale, Littlefinger and Little Rose.

"This is the latest information. Twenty thousand elite members of the Stark family are stationed at Graywater Watch in the Neck. Although the terrain is open, they have built a lot of fortifications, especially for cavalry and infantry." Tywin used chess pieces to place them on the map.

Deducing the position, "These fortifications are easy to clear and break through, but the old wolf is cunning, and it will definitely not be as simple as it seems on the surface."

"Fighting head-on is not an option. I think we should take a circuitous route. The forest in the northwest is a good natural cover." Stannis also used chess pieces to place them, but he chose to march along the seaside and around to look behind Gray Water.

"In this way, we can form a double-team with the frontal troops, and cut off their logistical supplies and seal their retreat!"

Renly touched his delicately groomed beard and pondered for a moment, "I think it's feasible. There are dense forests along the coast to cover it. You can get around it without anyone noticing, but only one person can lead the army. There must be worshipers here.

Latheon's army is here, otherwise the enemy would have noticed it, and we would be the ones being bypassed and attacked, cutting off our logistics and retreat."

"Lord Renly is right. You brothers each have an army of 30,000. Why don't Lord Stannis lead the cavalry to attack?" Little Rose placed her chess pieces on the map. "Our Tyrell family's 100,000 troops will compete with Blue's

Send an army of 30,000 people to the north along the river, and launch an attack when you give the signal!"

"In this case, we in the valley can choose to take the waterway from the east to the east side of Gray Water, cutting off their way back to White Harbor from the waterway, and we can also cooperate with you to attack from three sides!" Littlefinger's eyes turned quickly, obviously thinking in his heart.

What are you planning?

Seeing that they all expressed their opinions, Tywin also put his chess pieces on the table, "Then we will march from the dense forest to the west. We can also provide cover for Lord Stannis and ensure that the old wolf will not have the opportunity to pass through the dense forest.

Go intercept."

A dozen vassals headed by Ed Stark gathered together, and Makino stood behind Ed in black leather armor.

"Eighty thousand Lannisters, 30,000 from the Vale, 60,000 Baratheons, 100,000 from Highgarden, plus 20,000 from the Tullys and some miscellaneous troops, probably 300,000, which is ten thousand of our troops.

Five times." Although Ed expected that there would be a lot of coalition troops going north, when several waves of spies came back with the same specific numbers again and again, he did not think that his side had any chance of winning. "You are all my subjects in the north, and this battle

..."

"Lord Ed, there are no cowards in our northern territory. They will fight if they want. Even if I am the only one left, I will fight to the end!" This is Mrs. Meiji of Bear Island. She is a short but strong woman with gray hair, and also a

A stubborn, willful person who gets angry easily...

"That's right, there are no cowards in the North, and we will fight to the death!" Finally, Earl Greatjon of the Amber family in Hearth City slammed the table and looked at the remaining vassals with fierce eyes.

Ed looked at the determined and fearless eyes of everyone present one by one, "So, let us fight for the North, for freedom, and for honor!"

"For the North!"

"For freedom!"

"For honor!"

If we unite as one, there is no need to worry about failure in accomplishing great things.

"The enemy is outnumbered, and fighting head-on can only lead to death, but the advantage of having fewer people is that our logistical supply pressure is much less than theirs. Their supply pressure is fifteen times that of ours."

Ed quickly waved his chess pieces on the map, "The best way is to engage in guerrilla harassment operations, try to slow down their pace, and make them think that they are overpowering by strength. We have to keep retreating, but they are also going deep alone."

, winter is approaching, and it has become cold in the north. In addition, the vast territory and sparse population make it difficult for them to obtain supplies. As long as we hold on,

The civil strife within them must be overthrown first!"

Guerrilla harassment to draw hatred and then lure the enemy deeper is a very good strategy for the Wolf family. However, the land in the south is fertile and warm, coupled with the long summers of continuous bumper harvests, full granaries, and strong logistical supply capabilities. Based on consumption, they will definitely not be able to defeat the coalition forces.

"Southerners are not used to the cold weather in the north. They will definitely not be as good as us when they go north to fight. Lord Ed's plan is feasible." Mei Ji was the first to support.

"Indeed, standing firm will definitely not work. They have too many troops. They can easily surround us and starve us of food. Only by guerrilla luring the enemy can we have a glimmer of hope." Earl Severn of Severn City stroked his beard and agreed.

"..."

The discussion was very intense, such as who would go to the east and who to the west, which family to go with, how to cooperate, how to fight when encountering the enemy, etc...

A group of big men were quarreling with red faces, thick necks, and beards, but no one was afraid. They all wanted their own family to be at the front, except of course, Lord Bolton of the Dreadfort.

Makino has been observing this guy's eyes and expressions, and his foresight of the plot made him feel that Bolton must be planning something, and maybe he has colluded with the Lannister family. It is estimated that the content of this combat meeting will not take long.

It will be placed on Tywin's table.

The meeting lasted for four hours, and the general battle plan was finalized. The specific details still need to be discussed by the cooperating parties. Ed is only responsible for formulating the general direction.

After all the vassals left the tent, Ed looked at the map and asked, "Morr, what do you think of this plan?"

"Guerrilla warfare is very suitable for the northern army. It is familiar with the terrain and environment, but its shortcomings are also fatal. Once surrounded, it is difficult to escape. We have no time or ability to rescue them."

A fifteen-fold difference in strength means an absolute crushing of troops. Fortunately, the gentlemen in the north are loyal and not afraid of death. Otherwise, the battle would have been lost from the beginning and there would be no need to fight. But even so, Makino did not think it could be won.

The two Baratheon brothers are nothing to worry about. Stannis has some ability, and Renly is just a fool. However, Tywin and Littlefinger of the Lion family are famous for their cruel hearts. It is always annoying to have them strategizing in the army.

rest assured.….

"Then do you have any good suggestions?" Ed wiped his face with his hand and seemed to ask casually.

"A divorce plan!" Makino said calmly.

"A plan to divorce?" Ed slowly moved his head away from the map and looked at Makino, "Tell me about it."

"Sir, do you remember Robert's illegitimate children and Queen Cersei's three children?" Makino didn't wait for Ed to ask, and continued: "Obviously, Robert's illegitimate children all have black hair, but Cersei's three children

They are all blond. Even if they happen to have the same hair color as their mother, three in a row are all blond. I believe anyone with a discerning eye can tell after just one look and think about it.

If we can find something fishy in it, if we can find it, then Stannis and Renly, who are brothers, must also have suspicions, or already know the truth, but the Lannister family will put the crime of assassinating Robert on the master's head.

The two of them can only send out troops to avenge their brother first, and then deal with Joffrey, who is not of Robert's blood at all."

"So, you want Stannis and Renly to know that Robert is the Lannister's fault, and Joffrey has no inheritance rights, so that they will defect at the last moment!" Ed is not stupid, and he doesn't know how to play the game of political power.

But that doesn't mean he won't fight, he just didn't think of using this method.

"That's right, by inciting a rebellion against the Baratheon family, they can stab the Lannister family in the back and completely wipe out all the elite Lannister families on the battlefield. Then, based on the relationship between Stannis and Renly,

Stannis on the throne is definitely not what Renly wants to see, and then the two brothers will fight among themselves for the throne,"

Makino handed a piece of letter to Ed, "This is the latest information. The Tyrell family of Highgarden has the consciousness of marrying Renly. This time, Highgarden's army of 100,000 people was brought by Little Rose. In this way, Highgarden will

A hundred thousand troops were also involved. After the melee, I'm afraid it won't happen. As for the valley, I believe that once Littlefinger and Lysa poison Duke Arryn are exposed, they will automatically retreat and return to the valley."

"This..." Ed burned the letter to ashes with a candle and looked at Makino in disbelief, "Have you already thought of these strategies from the beginning? Why?

Why didn't you say a word during the meeting just now?"

"Master, it's not that I don't want to say it, but it's that people's hearts are unpredictable. When you were discussing the plan, I was observing everyone's eyes and expressions, and I found that there was something wrong with Earl Bolton. If I tell you everything about the plan just now..." Makino didn't.

Just finish your words, but I believe Ed can understand.

"You are thinking about it, but who should be chosen to execute this plan? Someone who has the ability to sneak into the army and escape unscathed..." Ed said, looking at Makino's calm face, "Have you really decided?

?They will believe you based only on your words?"

"It's not important. The problem is that they already have suspicions and cracks in their hearts. I just expanded the suspicions and cracks in the past. When the time is right, everything will fall into place." Makino is not good at eloquence, but the facts are the facts, Baratheon

The two brothers just lack a reason, no matter who they are.

Ed fell silent. His eldest daughter fell in love with Makino, and he valued and trusted Makino. Now Makino is going to the enemy's tent to sow discord. Should he agree?

If you agree, if Makino dies, the loss will be too great.

If you don’t agree, then who should you send?

Who deserves to be entrusted with such an important task that involves victory or defeat?

Looking at the entangled Ed, Makino smiled: "Don't worry, sir, I want to run, no one can stop me, besides, I sneaked in secretly, if the plan fails, I will kill Stannis and Renly directly.

A leaderless group of dragons and a scattered mess is also a good situation..."
