"Attacking Seagull Town without warning is not a crime unto death, Your Majesty. "Moreover, we don't have any evidence that the Magic Mountain attacked Seagull Town, and this letter is only General Randolph Tully's speculation. ”

"Your Majesty, without an order for a good reason, the Magic Mountain will not return. Kaivon's face was expressionless, as if Tywin was alive, "The Prime Minister issued a Prime Minister's order to Moshan to bring Seven Strings Tom back to his life, but he didn't come back. ”

"He told Commander-in-Chief Ben Ronte Bloon to bring back the head of Tom of the Seven Strings. "To deal with the rebels is to behead them if they don't obey, like the Magic Mountain." ”

"Your Majesty, that human head doesn't have to be the real seven-stringed Tom. The little devil said.

"I knew you would say that, Uncle Dwarf, you always looked at anyone else with suspicion, and always felt that all people had a conspiracy in their words and deeds. The national teacher once said that we are trying our best to win over a tax-independent Dorn who is far away, so it is better to win over the Magic Mountain first. If Grandpa didn't kill the Klegan people of Magic Mountain, Magic Mountain wouldn't have turned against Grandpa and killed the most powerful general around him for the sake of a distant Dorne's submission, this is stupid!"

The little devil glanced at Sir Kai Feng, and then at Her Majesty the Queen Mother: "Your Majesty the King, when did the national teacher Koben say these words to you?"

"When my grandfather was defeated by the Magic Mountain. Joffrey said, "Uncle Dwarf, uncle, mother, I have never understood that the Magic Mountain killed Stannis Baratheon for us in the Battle of the Blackwater River, and defeated the Northerners for my grandfather in the Battle of the Green Fork River, but you have done everything to win over Dorne, who has been a prince for three hundred years, for the sake of a Dorne who is thousands of miles away, marrying a princess, killing the Magic Mountain, and sending the territory of the Storm Land, and giving him back the two official positions of the Imperial Minister, just to win over Dorne, who has been a prince for three hundred years?" Does Dorn have any effect on our taxes, military, trade, and government affairs? Not at all, if he doesn't submit, we will send the Magic Mountain to fight him. ”

Little Devil, Cersei, and Tywin were all stunned.

"Who said that to you again?" the little devil's eyes sparkled.

"No, I figured it out myself. ”

"Is it Littlefinger or Cobain?"

"Why Littlefinger and Cobain? I can't have my own opinion? I'm the king. The Dornites you tried so hard to win over were strangled by Lady Jenny, and the whole army was wiped out. Hehe, I thought the Dorns were amazing. Now that Oberon is going to die, we have used a number of court scholars to save his dog's life, you say, what should we do now? Continue to carve a piece of land for the Dornens? Or continue to cut off the heads of the Magic Mountain and give it to Dorn? Dorn's nine great families have been seriously injured, the patriarch has been killed, and the heir has been killed, it is the time to send the Demon Mountain to conquer Dorne strongly, but you are bent on killing the Demon Mountain, isn't it stupid?"

Someone secretly instructed Joffrey, controlled his words and deeds, and analyzed the state affairs for him. Joffrey listened to it all.

Who is this person?

All the little devil can think of are Koben, the national teacher, and Petilberis, the little finger.

"Your Majesty, with your clever idea, how to deal with the incident of Dorne?" said the little devil, "ostensibly Lady Jeanne withdrew her troops, and Oberon suddenly pursued and killed, and Oberon did not take any chance. ”

"Send ravens to inform the Dorn, first, to hold the Dornese accountable for hunting down Lady Jane, and of course we will pardon Oberon eventually, and second, to order Prince Dauron to return Princess Messirah to King's Landing in exchange for our decision to send Oberon back to Dorne. Who decided to send Princess Messira to Dorne in the first place? It's not short-sighted, it's stupid!"

Little Devil, Kaivon, and Cersei are all silent!

Judging from the current situation, it is indeed stupid to send the Messiah into the hands of the Dorn!

Joffrey saw the shame in the eyes of his mother, uncle, and uncle!

"The Dornites send Princess Messirah back to King's Landing, and we will return Prince Oberon and his mistresses, the Countess of Bramont, Sir Deaconman, and the two hundred servants of the Dornish to Dorne safely, provided that they surrender, of course. “

This hand is very slippery, and Joffrey has treacherous wisdom, which is gratifying!

"Fourth, if the Dornites don't submit, we have an excuse to send troops to conquer Dorne, and the Mountain is the Minister of War, and he will lead his Clegon army, the Tyrell army, the Baratheon vassals of the Stormlands, and the tripartite alliance to conquer Dorne, and if the battle is defeated, or the war is unfavorable, then find an excuse to kill the Mountain, and it is justifiable. The vassals of the Magic Mountain, the generals, and a large number of adopted sons and daughters, no one will have any objections. The soldiers of the Clegane Army, no one will feel unfair. If we use military tactics to kill the Magic Mountain, we don't have to worry about the Klegan army mutiny. ”

Little Devil, Cersei, and Kaivon looked at each other.

Joffrey certainly couldn't have said this, this time the king's decision: the supremacy of the royal family, the conspiracy of the belly, the two-handed plan, and the clever plan that no matter how the Dornes choose, he also arranged a guillotine for the magic mountain and his army.

In the battle between the two armies, it is indeed easy to find an excuse to kill the Magic Mountain: for example, to embezzle military salaries, for example, to embezzle grain and grass, for example, the war is unfavorable, it takes a month to take Yang Halberd City, but only gives him ten days, for example, the Magic Mountain wants weapons to replenish, but the logistics army cannot deliver them, for example, in the battle, the coalition forces do not arrive, let the Magic Mountain fight alone, and then fall into the encirclement of the enemy army...... There are many excuses, and the method is like a starry sky, do whatever you want.

Joffrey suddenly said one, two, three, four...... This made the little devil secretly frightened: Joffrey had a superior man behind him! and this superior man was not inferior to his and Uncle Kevon's talents.

Cersei was surprised and delighted in her heart, Joffrey's analysis, she felt that she was much more clever than the little devil's government ability. The son grew up all at once, and was once enlightened and wise, as handsome as he was in appearance, and no one could match him.

However, soon, the little devil's words doused Cersei's surprise.

"Your Majesty, I heard that you rode horses and shot arrows at the King's martial arts arena yesterday!" a sentence that had nothing to do with the current topic was abrupt and inexplicable.

"You're wrong again, Uncle Dwarf, I was playing chess yesterday with Miss Margaret Tyrell, and she taught me a new game, which was very interesting. ”

"Oh, where did you play?"

"Virgin dwelling. ”

"Miss Margaret Tyrell suggested what you should do about the events of Dorne. ”

"She just advises, and I'm the one who really knows what to decide. ”

Margaret Tyrell!

A flame of jealousy suddenly rose in Cersei's heart, and the government decisions that Joffrey said were taught to him by Margaery when he was playing chess. What does Margaery want to do?

Cersei's slender neck was raised like a goose about to duel.

And the little devil just smiled: "Your Majesty is wise, if you have time, can you teach me to play chess?"

"You?" said Joffrey contemptuously, "Uncle Dwarf, this is a whole new kind of chess game, you can't learn it!"

"Oh, let me try, if I really won't, I'll admit I'm stupid!"

Margaret Tyrell's sweet smile appeared in front of Cersei, and she was furious!

The little devil thought of someone else: Lady Olenna Redwin, Queen of Thorns. The little devil looked at Uncle Kai Feng, who was expressionless, and his face was like an iron plate.

In the territory of the Arryn Valley, outside the Blood Gate, there is an important town: the Red Base.

The Red Base is the home fort of Earl Redwing, the great nobleman of the Vale.

On this day, outside Earl Redwin's home fort, a group of light cavalry suddenly appeared.

This group of light cavalry has two horses each, and they are extremely powerful. There are not many people, about 100 people, and it looks like a team of 100 people.

A cavalry contingent that did not fly any flags.

Ignoring the warnings of Redwin's scouts, the team openly crossed the scout cordon and headed straight for the Red Fortress.

The six Redwin scouts dared not speak out.

Six people against a team of 100 people, that's simply looking for death!

In addition, the six soldiers saw the Red Smoke Beast and the Ice Sword from the family crest of the leading general.

Who the family crest of the Red Smoke Beast Ice Sword represents, has long been spread among the nobles of the valley. The prestige of the Magic Mountain spread throughout the Seven Kingdoms with the turn of the Magic Mountain and Duke Tywin. The battle between the Magic Mountain and Duke Tywin surpassed the Demon Mountain's beheading of His Majesty Stannis Baratheon.

The spread of battles between the vicious dog and the evil lord against each other always attracts the attention of the nobles more than the vicious dog bites the enemy leader to death!

There is no doubt that the hundred horsemen who came were the Klegan cavalry under the Magic Mountain. Although they did not even raise a military flag.

Although the Redwin scouts did not dare to stop the Clegane Hundred Horsemen, they dared to sound the warning horn.

Woo woo

The trumpets of the enemy attack whined and blew.

On the wall of the Red Barrier, the soldiers of the Redwin family rushed to the city wall, and under the banner, a general hurried to Justred Wyn Horton, the eldest son of Earl Redwin, the heir of the Red Fortress. (The original book is Jaspire Redwin.) Tearing the skin doesn't sound good, change it. ）

Jas gave a loud order, and a group of archers rushed through the city walls, marching in order, in front and behind.

Shout!

The general of the city shot an arrow up, grabbed it, and hit the flagpole next to Jasredwin, Jas's left hand grabbed the flagpole, and if the arrow was a few inches shorter, it hit the back of Jas's left hand.

Jas broke out in a cold sweat.

The general of the city shot an arrow, and did not speak, and with a sharp military whistle, Le Ma turned around and roared away with this hundred-man team.

Come like a dragon, go like a tiger!

In a few moments, the cavalry was clean and disappeared at the end of the road.

Jas steadied himself and reached out to pull out the arrow, which was so deep into the wood that he could not take it off with one hand. This surprised Jas's heart again, and with both hands, he took off the long arrow, and on the arrow was a letter, and the seal of the wax mud on the letter was the emblem of the Red Smoke Beast's Ice Sword.

Jas crumpled the wax, unfolded the letter, and looked shocked when he read it. He ordered his soldiers to defend the city, hurried down the wall, mounted his horse, and went straight to the main fort.

His father, Earl Horton Redwing, was waiting in the hall for news, and the two brothers, Clayton Redwin and Jon Redwin, were fully armed and ready for battle.

Jas handed the letter to Earl Redwin, and the two brothers went up to read it.

"As the Minister of the Seventh **, Moshan asked us to borrow 10,000 golden dragon salaries and 100 carts of grain. Earl Houghton dropped the letter on the table and looked at his three sons, "What do you think?"

"What if we don't give it?" said Jas.

"If we don't give it, the Magic Mountain is likely to slaughter the inhabitants of our territory outside the city, steal food, and even come to attack our red base. ”

"Ten thousand golden dragons is not much, and a hundred carts of grain are insignificant. The second son, Clayton Redwin, said, "One thing I'm worried about is that after we give 10,000 gold dragons and 100 carts of grain, will the Magic Mountain continue to make excessive demands?"

"The letter says that as long as we are willing to lend him 10,000 gold dragon coins and a hundred carts of grain, Duke Gregor Clegane will regard the Redwin family as his best friends and will not see each other with a sword. ”

"Give it a try!" Jas suggested, "give the mountain money and food first, he doesn't want much, and if he doesn't keep his promise, we'll go to war with him." ”

Earl Houghton is a fierce general of the Vale, and when he was at war in the North and West, he was the main battle faction that wanted to help Stark fight the Lannisters.

"Well, Jas, you are responsible for delivering ten thousand dragon coins and a hundred cartloads of grain to the intersection specified in the letter. At the same time, we released ravens to Lady Rysa Tully in Eagle's Nest, hoping that the Valley would send reinforcements to the Bloodgate to garrison us soon, and that the Valley Army would be ready to support us in the event of a war with the Magic Mountain. ”

"Send a letter to my brother Michelle, asking Sir Lynn Cobray to prepare for our reinforcements. ”

Earl Houghton's fourth son, Michelle Redwyne, was a squire of Sir Lynn Cobray, one of the most courageous generals in the Vale, wielding a Valyrian steel sword, the Lady of Silence. Michelle Redwing is also the bravest of the four brothers, and is considered the most powerful swordsman of the younger generation in the valley.

The Knight of the Vale, Michel Redwyne, is in love with an illegitimate daughter named Mia Shidong, the first illegitimate daughter of the former King Robert Baratheon, who was born in the year 281 Aegon and is exactly eighteen years old this year.

Soon, the two ravens flew out of the red base and flew towards the Eagle's Nest in the valley. Then, Jasley Redwin prepared ten thousand golden dragons and a hundred carts of grain, but did not set off immediately.

Wait a day to deliver the money and food to the designated place, and give Mrs. Lysa Tully and her brother Michelle Redwyn time to react when they get the raven letter.

Seagull Town is the most important port in the valley and one of the five most prosperous and largest port cities in the Seven Kingdoms.

Ruled by the Graffson family, Seagull Town has a naturally sheltered harbor located southeast of Eagle's Nest and north of Crab Bay.

In addition to the ruling Graftsons, the nobles of Seagull Town also have the Shet family and a branch of the Arryn family.

Seagull Town was inhabited by many wealthy merchants, and many nobles in the valley had their children marry these wealthy merchants for money.

On this day, the sun was shining, and a cavalry team suddenly appeared on the avenue of Seagull Town, and the team came very quickly, and the soldiers on the city wall were still smiling and chatting, and that team had already come to the city, and the city gate was wide open, and it was too late to close.

"What man!" shouted the centurion on the wall.

The cavalry under the city had no banner, and no one answered, so the general at the head of the horse stretched out his bow and arrows, and with a bang, the arrow was like a meteor, hitting the centurion's waving right arm, and the centurion fell in a miserable scream, and the horn of the enemy attack sounded immediately: Woo woo woo!

Click!

The gates began to close, and the soldiers pushed the winches desperately, however, the heavy gates still slowly closed, and the enemy cavalry could easily rush in.

The war horse of the opposing cavalry general turned in front of the city gate, did not stop, and roared away with the cavalry, neither grabbing the gate nor threatening.

The centurion was helped up, and the military scholar quickly arrived, and the long arrow pierced the centurion's arm, and the arrow carried a letter: The wax seal was the newly created Clegon family crest of the Red Smoke Beast Cold Ice Sword Clan Emblem of the Seven Kingdoms.

The valley is a military danger, a bloody gate.

Early in the morning, the soldiers stationed at the Blood Gate were awakened by the sound of tinkling knocks in the distance, and everyone didn't care. There are more than a dozen mountain tribes outside the blood gate, all of them are barbarians, and any nobleman will be robbed as long as he passes through the mountain road outside, even if he is a duke of the valley, if he has fewer guards, he will be attacked by the mountain barbarians.

Unless it is the rebirth of dragons, griffins, giant eagles and other magical beasts, no one can break through the blood gate and enter the valley plains anyway, and the mountain people knock on the stones in the mountains outside, so let them knock it.

However, the tinkling sound rang out early in the morning, never stopped, as never before, and it seemed that it would continue to ring, and the noise of people increased.

The military governor of the Bloodgate in the Vale was awarded the title of Knight of the Bloodgate.

Before the start of the Seven Civil Wars, the Bloodgate Knight was Blackfish Brynden Tully. After the war between the West and the North and the Riverlands became involved, Brin Dentully resigned from his military position as a Bloodgate Knight, and accompanied his niece Caitlin Tully to leave the Bloodgate and join the battle against the Lannisters of the West, replaced by Sir Donalwewood.

Sir Donalwewood is the second son of Anya Weywood, Countess of Iron Oak. He was a young man of twenty years old, with a strong physique, ugly appearance, but integrity, sincerity, and courage. He had a broad nose and coarse brown hair that was scattered.

After breakfast, Sir Donalwaywood himself led a team of 100 out of the Bloody Gate, following the sound to see what was so strange about the dense jingling sound in the distance.

About a mile away from the Blood Gate, on both sides of the mountain road, hundreds of mountain people, both men and women, were building military forts according to the terrain. And on the mountain road, there was an infantry corps lined up neatly, the number of the legion did not know how many, ten people in a row, blocking the way in and out of the blood gate, at a glance, the farther corner of the mountain blocked the view, and the end of this legion could not be seen.

On both sides of the mountain road, an army of archers stood halfway up the mountain, forming an upper and lower defensive linkage with the infantry on the mountain road.
