If the army passes through the Neck Forest, it means that it can effectively avoid the eyes and ears on the King's Road, and when the young wolf lord Robb conquered the southern border, he temporarily gathered nearly 20,000 coalition troops in the north, and the army just set off and just crossed the line of the Neck Forest.

The Lannisters learned early and led their army to the Riverlands, taking control of a large area of strategic depth near Harrenhal.

So.

Military warfare in this era is not just a competition between the number of troops and the strength of cavalry, and intelligence is sometimes the key to opening the door to victory.

It is important to spy on the military, but it is equally important to hide the movement of the march.

Lynn was overjoyed, stretched out her hand to pull the door open gently, and walked to the study and hut in the next room, and soon he came to the table, took a quill and a piece of parchment, and began to write a reply.

Now that the route of the march in the Neck Forest has been explored, it is only natural that a military fort should be established in a suitable place in the forest.

The secret passage of the Neck Forest is not intended to be exposed until she has made enough contributions.

Lynn put the written letterhead into an envelope, sealed it with fire paint and handed it to the guards, and the letter will be delivered to White Harbor City as soon as possible, and the old Hill and Alweired will be responsible for secretly recruiting craftsmen and establishing a forest fortress in the Neck Forest.

At the same time, Lynn also ordered Shi Fu, the commander of the Xiao Cavalry Regiment, to plan a detailed battle plan for attacking the Riverland as soon as possible.

With everything done, Lynn thought carefully for a while at the table, and felt that when the widow hoped that the war was over, the matter of passing through the river could almost be officially put on the table.

I'm thinking about things.

A servant said outside the door, "Lord Collar, a maritime merchant named Kompany is asking to see you." ”

Lynn raised an eyebrow, today was indeed the day to meet him, and shouted outside, "Let him come to the study to meet me." ”

"Yes, sir. ”

When the richly dressed Kompany was invited into the house by the servants, Lynn was looking down at the parchment of drowning witchcraft.

Kompany laughed like thunder, and when he saw Lynn, who was looking down, his eyes were excited and eager, and he sang a big fat song as soon as he came in.

"Ahh ”

Lynn raised his head, was stunned for a moment, and then laughed and scolded.

"The master heard that there was a sea merchant in the fishing village port, Kompany, who controlled most of the maritime trade business between the northern border and Essos, and made a fortune every day, so he specially called you to come and take a look, if it is true, this is calculated The few ships I gave you at the beginning can be converted into a few percent of dry shares, and see if you can exchange thousands of golden dragon flowers. ”

The adults laughed, this is absolutely unacceptable, the big ships that the adults gave at the beginning, in exchange for a few lives of the villain, where are the shares, the villain made some money, but it was all taken by the adult, Kompany absolutely did not say a word of. ”

"That's a good feeling, then tell me how much you earned, how much you should give me. It is said that wealth is a pig-killing knife, how did the young man who used to be powerful and powerful now become this pig-like with a fat head and big ears. ”

"Huh?" Kompany had just sat down in the hall, and when he heard this, he immediately left his seat and almost bounced up, "Your Excellency...... But why haven't I heard of it, it's so reasonable, after the trade of Essos stabilized, I was getting fatter and fatter, and now I can't lose weight if I want to, and now I just beg the adults to hand over the affairs of the Dorne route to the villain, and there must be new things to run, which is good to lose weight. ”

This guy used to be a shabby fisherman, sending some worthless dried shrimp and sea fish to Baigang every few days for a little money, but now he has become a maritime merchant, and he talks about oil and gas.

Lynn doesn't like or dislike this kind of businessman who drills the camp, but he sighs in his heart that in just over a year, he has changed so much, and these characters around him who are at most stinky fish and rotten shrimp in other territories have changed so much.

Things are people, nothing more than that.

The two exchanged pleasantries, and Kompany handed over a small box full of a hundred golden dragons, and then extended the matter to the Dorne route.

Lynn also instantly told Kompany the details of the deal to be exchanged for iron weapons for war horses.

Kompany suddenly came to his senses.

"This is a good thing, my caravan can completely do it for the adults, the adults said that it was iron, in fact, they didn't plan to trade swords at all, right, that's okay, get more eliminated iron pots, shovels, iron farming tools, the Dorns will still buy them at a high price, there is no iron ore in those southern Yankees' land, as long as it is iron, he can't wait to break one piece and use it in two. ”

Lynn covered her face for a long time and was silent, afraid that she was stunned for a moment and said, "What's wrong, my lord?"

"If you stand in the perspective of a profiteer, there is no right or wrong in this matter, and of course there is no problem in doing so, but the route of Dorne is the route between the north and Dorne, and to do so is to ruin this trade route, and if you become such a maritime merchant, don't the people of Essos never care about your reputation?

Kompany grabbed a handful of hair and said aggrievedly: "The slave owners of Essos have their own eyes on money, how much money can do as much as they want, and I never talk about any friendship with them, let alone the so-called long-term development." ”

......

Lynn glared at the Bun Maritime Merchant, "Now we are talking about Dorne, it is the continent of Westeros, the lords here are different from the slave owners, except for the white silver deer and the golden dragon, they are more disciplined.

Although the lord here treats the merchant politely on weekdays, he looks down on the merchant in his bones, don't look at the master like this, I'm not such a person, you didn't even have a big ship at the beginning, do I dislike you?

You have to listen to the path I tell you now, in the future, the business of Essos will be left to your men to do, and in the future you will help me take charge of the land and sea trade of the Westeros continent, since I choose to see you today, you just believe in you, and I am willing to give you a hand, and in the future you have achievements, and it is not impossible to promote you to a nobleman according to merit.

But the premise is that you have to do things well for me, and the premise of doing it well is that you must understand the mainland nobles who you will often meet in the future, and the exchange of iron weapons for Dorn war horses in the north is to allow you to build a good reputation in the aristocratic circle. ”
