Clearly, Edmure Tully was not a decisive man.

It is said that Edmure was full of affairs when he was young, and he was often hot-headed and would do some unthinkable things.

Jones had already heard it on the sidelines.

Some counts insisted on defending the city, taking advantage of Riverrun's terrain to bring down the Lannisters, but interestingly, the lands of the counts who insisted on defending the city were all in the northern part of Riverrun.

Other counts insisted that Edmure take the initiative to fight, on the grounds that the lord would protect the inhabitants of the territory, and that the Lannisters were killing people everywhere and setting fire to them, killing all the people in the territory and burning all their possessions.

Of course, all of these counts' domains are south of Riverrun, except for the bald Earl Brecken, whose territory is adjacent to Blackwood, who is only habitually opposed to Blackwood.

Jones shook his head, there was no result in arguing like this, of course, according to his own thoughts, he must be sticking to Riverrun, but he didn't say it.

If he did, he could imagine the scolding of the counts who demanded immediate troops.

"You're from the North, of course you don't care about the life or death of our Riverlanders!"

"I chose to defend the city, and I can drag the Lannister army for a day, and with the nail of Riverrun, the monarch killer will no longer be able to threaten Stark, Lord Jones, are you right?"

In short, Jones's position is in such a way that his statement is not convincing and only attracts rebuttals.

At this time, the only person who could make a decision was Edmure Tully.

No, maybe there's another person who can.

"Why don't you ask Duke Horst Tully?" said Jones suddenly.

"No, my father is bedridden, he's so sick. Edmure refused, "We can't bother him anymore." ”

"As long as Master Horst is awake......"

"No, I say no, don't disturb my father!" said Edmure Tully almost word for word.

I don't know if he really loved his father so much, or if he felt that it would make him appear to be in doubt about his ability and authority.

Jones saw that he was so angry that he could only swallow all the words. Damn, how could Duke Horst, who participated in the 'Battle of the Nine Bronze Kings' and the 'Usurper War', give birth to a son of yours, even if the Duke still has half of his brain working, he knows to end this senseless quarrel immediately.

Forget it, you guys can argue, it's best to keep arguing until the Lannisters reach Riverrun, so that if you don't want to defend it, you have to defend it.

"Master Tully, I'm going to train the army. ”

With that, Jones turned and left the chamber, no, the hall of quarrels.

......

Meanwhile, Carlin Bay.

Although it was still far away to see the pattern on the flag, after years of companionship, Caitlyn could still tell that it was a white flag, and the dark color in the middle could only be the gray ice wolf of the Stark family.

After a while, after seeing it with her own eyes, Caitlyn took the reins of her horse and bowed her head to thank the gods in the heavens, she had not been too late.

Soon after her husband, Eddard Stark, left King's Landing to serve as the Hand of the King, she also began a journey to find the culprit who had harmed Bran, and the family was completely separated.

Now her husband and two daughters are locked up in King's Landing, the two youngest sons are left alone in Winterfell, and the eldest son, who is not yet an adult, takes on the responsibility of saving his father.

Gods, why do we have to endure such torture as a family?

"Madame, they are waiting for us to come over. The son of the Earl of Mandalay reminded Lady Caitlyn's musings.

"Then don't let them wait any longer. Blackfish Brynden Tully kicked his spur and galloped forward, and Lady Caitlyn rode alongside her uncle.

Sir Mandalay followed with nearly 2,000 men, including more than 200 cavalry, and the rest infantry armed with spears, bows and shields.

The last army that Robb Stark had been waiting for had finally arrived.

The horseback scouts saw the banner of the Mandalay family—a white merfolk with a trident in their hands, slowly rising from the blue-green sea—and enthusiastically led them along, though not far away.

As she got closer, Catelyn saw the Sunmang Banner of House Stark on the Tower of Drunkards, fluttering under the Icewolf banner, and the Sons of the Forest Tower on the Broken Chain Giants of the Amber Family.

At the top of the gate tower is the banner of the Stark family. Robb chose this as his headquarters.

Caitlyn walked in her head, Blackfish and Sir Mandalay following slowly across the boardwalk, which was paved with black and green mud.

She saw her son in an airy hall.

At this time, Robb was surrounded by counts who were many times his age, and he was sitting at a large stone table, piled high with maps and various papers, and was intently discussing the news with Luce Burton and Great Jon, and the next strategy.

Robb raised his head as if his heart was rising, and saw his mother's reddish eyes, he wanted to rush over and hug his mother, but he still restrained himself, now that he was a commander, he couldn't show weakness.

"Mother, I need your help," his voice trembled slightly.

......

When Jones saw Edmure again, the de facto Supreme Ruler of Riverrun had a mixed expression, anxious, angry, and confused.

"I need your help," he said anxiously and with a little help.

"That's what I'm here for. Jones nodded, and thought to himself, hoping it wasn't something stupid.

"The Smallwood family of Acorn Hall has taken refuge in the Lannisters, and if I don't do anything, the other minor nobles of Riverlands will follow suit. Edmure explained a little tiredly, "There are no mountain barriers in the Riverlands, and every war will break out in the Riverlands first, and there has never been a war that we can solve alone. ”

He paused for a moment, then said, "Anyway, I need you to send troops to clean up the stragglers sent out to burn and kill in the first day of the Runriver City. ”

Jones thought for a moment and asked, "What I want to make sure is, will you leave the city, Lord Tully?"

"What does this have to do with your sending troops?" Edmure asked, a little puzzled.

Jones was a little speechless at him, but he still said patiently, "If I take the initiative to go out of the city, I hope you can stick to the city." ”

"As it should be. Edmure nodded.

......

The Acorn Hall, the Smallwood family's lockdown, is surrounded by stone walls with a large oak door.

The six brown acorn flags of the Smallwood family in the city have all been replaced by golden lions.

The Earl of Acorn Hall was trembling at the man with his 'shining blue eyes and sharp smile' in front of him.

"Is that all you can offer?" the man's tone was not aggressive, and there was no hint of reproach on his handsome face.

"Yes, Lord Lannister. But the Earl of Acorn Hall swallowed nervously and spat at the mouth.

"But I don't think so, I've counted the number of cattle at random, and it's far more than you have provided, so one of the two of us must have lied, Earl, do you think that man could be me?"

"My lord, there are a lot of ploughing cattle, and as you can see, there are a lot of wheat fields around us. ”

"There won't be any more, I've ordered it to be burned. ”

"Your Excellency, you can't do that. The Earl of Acorn Hall pleaded bitterly.

"Count, don't you realize you're at war, and if you lie again, I'll turn your Acorn Hall into ruins, just like Pink City. ”

After saying that, the man strode out, the golden armor on his body, with his tall body and fluttering blonde hair, the whole person looked like a roaring golden lion.

This man was the son of Duke Tywin, and at the fifteenth he joined the legendary knighthood of the Kingsguard, killing the man he was trying to protect the king, Jaime Lannister.
