Chapter 276: The Extremely Chaotic Situation

Little Devil Tyrion. Lannister was captured by Duke Eddard's Lady and brought to the Vale, Jaime. Lannister Street attacked the Hand of the King, Duke Eddard, King Robert Brown. Baratheon died in an accident while hunting, and the Grand Prince Joffrey succeeded to the throne, and finally, the ruler of the Northern Kingdom, who was the Hand of the King, Eddard Brown. Duke Stark was charged with treason and imprisoned in a black cell.

These important things, as the ravens in the sky flew to all parts of the Seven Kingdoms, and soon each force made its own reaction.

Robb, the eldest son of House Stark in Winterfell, learned of this, and immediately angrily gathered all the vassals in the north, and gathered 18,000 people to go south to Carlin Bay to rescue his father, Duke Eddard.

Queen Cersei's father, Tywin. The Duke of Lannister, in order to keep the throne of his grandson (de facto grandson) Joffrey, and to avenge Catelyn for taking his son, quickly gathered all the vassals in the West and led 35,000 soldiers to attack Lady Catelyn's maiden family, the Tully family in the Riverland Kingdom.

The late King Robert Baratheon's two younger brothers were not idle, and at about the same time they issued an edict declaring that they did not recognize the identity of their illegitimate son Joffrey and considered themselves the rightful heirs to the king.

Stannis. Duke Baratheon, who established himself as the 'King of the Narrow Sea' on Dragonstone, gathered 5,000 soldiers and the pirate leader of Reese, and led hundreds of warships to attack King's Landing and reclaim his Iron Throne.

Blue Rite. Duke Baratheon, known as the 'King of the High Court', married Margaery, the eldest daughter of the House of Tyrells, who ruled the Riverbend Kingdom, and then proclaimed himself king with the support of the princes of the Riverlands and Stormlands, and led an army of 80,000 men towards King's Landing.

For a while, on this Westeros continent, except for the Valley Kingdom, which is surrounded by lofty mountains, and the Dorne Kingdom, which is located in the southernmost part, has not moved, the other five kingdoms are all mobilizing troops.

Li Nan and the others, who were hiding in King's Landing, were looking at the map of the Seven Kingdoms on the table at this time, discussing the current chaotic situation.

The little girl Arya said proudly: "My brother will definitely lead the warriors of the north to conquer King's Landing and rescue my father." ”

"It's not that simple." Li Nan analyzed rationally: "Now that Lord Eddard is in the hands of Queen Cersei and Joffrey, this is the best bargaining chip, and Robb can besiege King's Landing at most and let them hand over your father." ”

"And where is my brother's army now? When can you besiege King's Landing? ”

"Eh......" This question is a little complicated, Li Nan pointed to the several major forces on the map and said: "Now the strongest is Lan Li's 80,000 people, the second is Lannister's 35,000 people, and Rob only has 18,000 people in his hands, some are too few." ”

Arya looked at Li Nan and said, "Then let them fight first, and my brother Rob won't save them when they're done?" ”

"Hahaha." Li Nan smiled and patted Arya's head and said, "You are very smart, but others also think so, Lan Li's army is moving slowly, obviously delaying time, he is waiting for the wolves in the north to fight with the lions in the west, and take advantage of the fisherman." ”

"Then my brother won't be fooled, right?" Arya said worriedly.

Li Nan smiled and said, "As long as Rob can stay still and continue to be stationed in the easy-to-defend and invulnerable Neck of Carlin Bay, when the Lannister family fights with Lan Li's army, then Cersei will naturally send someone to negotiate with Rob and release your father, Lord Eddard." ”

If everything had gone according to Li Nan's vision, the Starks would have saved the day, but things quickly changed.

Duke Eddard's wife, Caitlin. When Tully arrived at Carlin Bay, she could not sit idly by and watch her father and brother and the vassals of her family, because her actions were attacked by the Lannisters, so she persuaded her son Robb to send troops to the rescue.

Rob. Stark obeyed his mother's words and led 20,000 men out of the perilous neck, preparing to support his grandfather and uncle.

When the people of all the forces knew the news, some were happy, some were worried, and some were ready to sit on the mountain to watch the lion and wolf fight, Li Nan and the others naturally belonged to the group of people who were worried.

Rob. Stark is only seventeen years old this year, and even if he inherits the genes of Duke Eddard, he can be born to fight, but he will have to face the Lannisters, who have infinite wealth, and the commander of the army is the experienced old lion Tywin. Lannister.

What does war depend on? The first is the number and quality of soldiers, the second is the commander-in-chief's command ability, and the third is logistical supply.

There are many gold mines in the territory of the Lannisters, and the 35,000 soldiers led by Duke Tywin, whether it is weapons, armor, horses, and even tents, are the best choice.

In terms of equipment, the northern army led by Robb is more like a group of beggars, except that the northerners are naturally brave in battle, there is no comparison at all in other aspects.

The southern kingdom of Dorne has a deep enmity with the Lannisters, but they have not dared to use their swords for many years, not because the Dornists are weak, but because they know how strong the Lannisters are.

Just when everyone's eyes were on this battle of lions and wolves, there was also a big piece of news in King's Landing.

Hand of the previous king, ruler of the Northern Kingdom, Eddard. Duke Stark will confess his sins in public in the square in front of the Great Sanctuary of Baylor in the near future, and be judged by the gods and kings.

After hearing the news that Hattori Hanzo had returned, Arya slammed the glass on the table to the ground and shouted angrily, "I don't believe it, my father won't confess!" ”

Li Nan also looked at Hattori Hanzo suspiciously: "Is this news true?" From what I know of Duke Eddard, he's not a man who will give in! ”

"Master, I got the information from the jailer guarding the black cell, please believe my method of coercing confessions, he will never lie."

"What else did the jailer say?" Li Nan asked.

Hattori Hanzo didn't speak, but looked at Arya, who was staring at him.

Li Nan nodded knowingly, and said softly to Arya: "It's not early, you go back to your room to rest first." ”

Seeing the small movements of the two of them, Arya said angrily: "You don't have to hide it from me, I'm not small." ”

Glancing at this little girl helplessly, Li Nan said to Hattori Hanzo: "You can say it directly, she is a member of the Stark family after all." ”

"I learned from the jailer that Miss Sansa had gone to the Black Prison many times to persuade her during Lord Eddard's detention, so ......"

"Oh." Li Nan suddenly said: "I see, you mean that Queen Cersei and Joffrey used Sansa's life to threaten Lord Eddard, which is very likely to make him submit and confess." ”

When Li Nan was frowning and digesting the news, Arya came to his side and begged, "Leo, can you save my father?" ”

"Since your father has promised to confess, he must have negotiated terms with Cersei, and his life should not be in danger, and if we forcibly try to save him, we may harm Lord Eddard."

"What if they kill my father?"

According to Li Nan's understanding of Cersei, although this woman is not smart, she is definitely not stupid, and the possibility of killing Duke Eddard in public is almost zero.

After a moment's hesitation, Li Nan said to the others, "Gather all of our hired assassins, killers, and knights, and we'll hide in the crowd when Lord Eddard is on trial." If all goes well, then let's stand still, and if things really change, then forcibly kidnap Lord Eddard. ”
