After the celebratory feast, Li Nan and Rob asked to see their old friend James. Lannister.

Rob knew about the relationship between Li Nan and Jaime, and although he hated the Lannisters, he trusted Li Nan very much, so he hesitated for a moment and agreed to his request.

Li Nan followed the guards all the way to the dark and damp dungeons under Riverrun.

With the help of the light of the torches, after seeing James handcuffed to the stone wall, Li Nan couldn't help but sigh at the changeable circumstances of his life.

When the two of them first met, Jaime in silver armor, blonde hair and white horse, with a sword hanging from his waist, his sister Cersei was the queen of the Seven Kingdoms, his father was the lord of the Western Realm, and he was a young martial arts genius, so he was really rich and handsome among the nobles.

At this time, Jaime was only wearing a set of coarse cloth clothes that could not be seen in their original color, and he was covered in all kinds of filth, and a stench came to his nose a few meters away.

Raising his head and covering his eyes with his hands, Jaime became accustomed to the light of the torches before he could see who it was.

"Haha, it's rare to have an old friend come to see me. Leo, I'm sorry, I'm in a bit of a rude situation right now. ”

"It's rude to say anything at this time."

Li Nan said to the guards beside him: "You go outside first, I want to talk to him alone." ”

This guard is also from Winterfell, he knows Li Nan's identity and status in the Stark family, and the prisoner can't escape anyway, he nodded and handed the torch to Li Nan.

After waiting for the guards to go out, Li Nan took out a fat chicken wrapped in cloth from his bosom, and a bag of ale wine and handed it to James.

Although Robb did not order the mistreatment of Jaime, the Riverlands of the Tully family were ravaged by the Lannisters for a long time, and Cersei and Joffrey also killed the Lord of the North, Duke Eddard, so the soldiers of either family did not have a good impression of Jaime, and it was already merciful that he did not starve to death.

When Jaime saw the roast chicken and ale, he immediately lost any sense of manners, and hurriedly ate and drank.

Li Nan persuaded: "Eat slowly, since I am here, tell me if you need anything." ”

Rinsing his mouth full of chicken with ale, Jaime looked up and said, "I want to get out of here, can you help me?" ”

"I'm sorry, but this doesn't work."

Jaime probed, "If I were to buy you with money, would that be an insult to you?" ”

"I can't talk about insults, but you don't have to bother with words, although I am not a decent gentleman, I will not betray the Stark family."

"yes, I know." Jaime nodded, and continued to eat and drink.

After eating the whole fat chicken, Jaime's face showed a satisfied look and asked, "I've heard some things from the soldiers in the north, is it true that everything happened in King's Landing?" ”

Li Nan knew what James wanted to know, and there was no need to hide these things, so he immediately said bluntly: "Joffrey inherited the throne, Cersei became the queen mother, and Duke Ed was executed by Joffrey's order. ”

Speaking of Joffrey, Jaime couldn't help but sigh, "This kid's character... It's just too bad...... Alas! ”

Li Nan said cryptically: "If the son doesn't teach, the father is at fault." ”

The words seemed to stab Jaime in the sore spot, and it was only after a half-ring that he said, "How's the war going outside?" ”

"Your Lannister family is not in a good situation at the moment, your father, Duke Tywin, does not dare to act in Harrenhal, Robb's coalition has surpassed your family, and Lan Li's army of 100,000 is slowly approaching King's Landing. You know the reality of King's Landing, I don't think those golden robes can hold the city. ”

King's Landing was about to be attacked by Lan Li's 100,000 army, which made Jaime, who originally seemed quite calm, show an anxious look: "I need to go back as soon as possible, I want to protect Cersei and my children!" ”

Li Nan stood up, shook his head and refused: "You are the heir of the Lannister family, your identity is too important, so I don't think you can leave, and I can't help with this matter, I'm sorry." ”

"Help me!"

Hearing Jaime's begging behind him, the powerless Li Nan left the dungeon in silence.

After resting in Riverrun for half a month, Rob gathered the lords of all parties to discuss the next battle plan, and Li Nan, as a vassal of the Stark family, naturally attended the meeting.

Robb, who was elected by everyone as the king of the north, said loudly to the lords: "I will lead most of the men of the north and the Frey family to attack the western border of the Lannisters. The Lannisters will definitely return from Harrenhal. Lord Luce, I hope you will lead the army of the Riverlands to stop them. What do you think of this plan? ”

Li Nan glanced at the lords in front of the long table and found that all the nobles in the north were smiling, while the nobles in the Riverland were dissatisfied, as if they were not satisfied with Robb's arrangement.

In fact, it is not to blame the noble lords of the Riverlands for being cautious, according to Robb's plan, the northerners and the Freys went to conquer the rich West, which owned several gold mines, while the people of the Riverlands went to follow Tywin, who was in a hurry to go home to rescue. The Lannisters are tough, and no one will be satisfied with this matter.

Rob is indeed a military talent, but he knows too little about human affairs, even if the riverland is the territory of his grandfather and uncle, this arrangement is very inappropriate.

"Ahem!" After Li Nanqing coughed a few times, he said, "I have something to say." ”

Rob stretched out his hand and gestured, "Sir Leo, please speak." ”

Li Nan stood up, looked around at all the lords and said, "I believe that all the people present are participating in this war, some for justice, some for oaths, and some for protecting their homeland, but I hope everyone will not ignore the feelings of the warriors." ”

The veteran fritters present naturally understood what Li Nan meant, and only some young nobles who led troops to fight for the first time, such as Rob, the king of the North, had doubts on their faces.

"These soldiers are not knights, and they don't have much sense of honor, so there is only one way for them to continue to fight bravely, and that is to satisfy their need for money."

"It's... Are you telling the truth? Hearing Li Nan say this, Robb, who had always thought that the soldiers were fighting for justice, asked in disbelief.

A branch of the Stark family, the white-bearded and white-haired Rickard. Count Karstark laughed and said, "Hahaha, those bunnies are fighting just to get more money, they don't know anything else, Leo is right!" ”

The other nobles also laughed and said: "Hahaha, there is no money and no women, those bastards will have no strength to fight!" ”

Rob didn't have much experience, but he was a smart man after all, and after a while, he figured out the key points and rearranged his manpower, and this time the Micha who attacked the west also brought with him the nobles and soldiers of the Riverlands, and some soldiers from the north and the Frey family were also left behind to stop the Lannister's army.

This way of dividing troops undoubtedly made the nobles of Hejian smile, and some nobles in the north also complained dissatisfied.

Hearing the complaints of several northern nobles around him, the rather old Earl Rickard shouted loudly: "Such a big western realm, can you grab it by yourself?" When did our northern men become so stingy? ”

Count Rickard was highly respected in the North, and with his involvement, the other northern nobles accepted this arrangement.

Finally gaining everyone's approval, Rob said, "Okay, since everyone agrees, then this matter is settled." Sir Leo, do you have any other suggestions? ”

Rob just asked politely and casually, not wanting Li Nan to really have something to say.

Looking at the expressionless Luce. Bolton and Li Nan said: "The Riverlands are the territory of the Tully family, and the people who are most familiar with it are the Riverland nobles, so I think that the remaining army responsible for resisting the Lannisters should be led by Edmu. The Count of Tully was the commander-in-chief. ”

"Yes, the Riverlands should be protected by the Tully family!"

"Sir Leo is right, no one knows the Riverlands better than we do!"

Li Nan's suggestion was approved by the nobles of the River, and Robb's uncle Edmu. Tully smiled with satisfaction.

According to Li Nan's understanding of everyone during this time, in fact, Edmu. Tully was not a good commander, he was brave in battle, but he was brave and resourceful, but his loyalty to Robb and the Stark family was absolutely fine. Burton, a great nobleman who has repeatedly rebelled in the North, really can't say for sure.

The Bolton family, which is not a small force in the north, has a grudge against the Stark family for generations, in case he is really bought by the Lannisters, then he will directly lead the army to cut off Robb's back road, which will make the war situation change dramatically, so Li Nan has to guard against him.

The Bolton family, who are good at skinning their enemies, are notorious in the north, and no family likes them, so when they heard Li Nan's words, not only the nobles of the Riverlands supported Edmure, but even the nobles of the north agreed.

Apparently unpopular with the manager he had identified, Rob asked, "Count Luce, what do you think of Sir Leo's proposal?" ”

Count Luce glanced at Li Nan coldly, and said with a blank face: "Leo's words are very reasonable, the Riverland is the territory of the Tully family, and I also think that Count Edmure is more suitable to command the army." ”
