"Night's Watch—" Robert's face turned redder for a moment.

As the king, he originally wanted to bring a "night watchman with the army" because he was confident that he could easily win the blood gate, who wanted the war to go wrong, and the unprecedented commotion suddenly became a slap in the face. It's okay for Egger to hide in the tent of the Antlerfort army honestly, but he still has to jump out to offer advice if he doesn't die - every second that the man in black in front of him stays in his field of vision seems to be slapping him!

"How many times do you have to say it before you people remember? they're rebels! rebels! rebels!" the king roared, grabbing the glass in front of him, and pausing with each roar on the table, and after three times the rebels had roared, the glass was cracked, and the red wine that had been spilled or leaked ran down his hand and gathered on the table. Robert snorted, threw the glass to the ground and smashed it to pieces, and continued to yell as he intervened with the tablecloth: "I'm putting down the rebellion! This is not the Seven Kingdoms Fight! Do you understand? Now, either get your idea out of here, or get out of here! Get me another glass!"

Iger was stunned for a moment, and then realized that the last sentence was not yelled at him. He finally saw what it means to be a companion like a tiger and moody, even if he was used to seeing big people like himself and was mentally prepared, he was really frightened by Robert's outburst just now, and he almost couldn't help but bow his head to avoid the other party's wine glass, but fortunately the other party just smashed it on the ground...... He is also one of the most powerful people in the Seven Kingdoms, but not everyone is as reasonable and talkative as Eddard Stark.

"Your Majesty is angry, I just want to confirm it!" "In the face of such a tyrant, Egger didn't dare to be stubborn and pretend, anyway, he had already obtained the promise he wanted - important things had to be said three times, I didn't think that even Robert understood this. He yelled at the rebels three times in a row, which was to define the events of the day: he offered the king a plan to quell the rebellion, and he was protecting the interests of the kingdom and not violating the discipline of the night watch.

In principle, whether Egger, as the "high-level" officer of the Night's Watch and the "fifth-in-command" of the garrison of the Great Wall, violated the discipline of the Night's Watch is the only one in the world who is qualified to judge, and what King Robert said does not count. But the reality is this: whoever has the biggest fist has the final say, and since the king has made such an assertion in public, Mormont will never dare to refute this "established fact".

＊＊＊

Iger looked around and saw Robb Stark nodding kindly at him, and after smiling at him again, he didn't hesitate any longer: "In the 'Caina' where I come from, there is a place called Sichuan Shu - surrounded by mountains on three sides, and there is a large river in the east that cannot be crossed, and its terrain is as dangerous as the valley. For a long time, people who wanted to enter from the north had to pass through a dangerous barrier called the 'Sword Gate', which was far more difficult to defend than the Blood Gate. ”

"Well, I know, and then someone broke through the sword gate you mentioned. Randolph Tully, the famous general of Riverbend and the only man in Westeros to defeat Robert on a frontal battlefield, interjected expressionlessly, "How?"

"Don't tell the story, just tell the way!" said Robert impatiently.

Egger is a little helpless, can't these rough people be patient, don't play cards according to the routine, and most of the drafts they have prepared have been scrapped all of them, how can you do it.

During the Three Kingdoms, Wei raised troops to destroy Shu, and the 100,000-strong army marched at the entrance of Shu, facing the Jianmen Pass guarded by Jiang Wei for several months, unable to advance an inch, and was about to retreat with all the food - how similar is this situation to the predicament that Robert fell into at this moment? Later, Deng Ai took Yinping Road and entered Shuzhong, broke Zhuge Zhan in Mianzhu, and captured Chengdu, and finally took this old enemy.

The same example is also the Thermopylae, where the Persians attacked Greece and faced the Spartan 300 warriors, but it was impossible to pay five-figure casualties, so what was the final result?

Take a detour.

Since Robert didn't want to hear the story, Egger had no choice but to skip this wonderful storytelling stage and go straight to the conclusion: "Leave a large number of levies outside the Blood Gate to divert the attention of the defenders, send the most elite troops to enter by small road, as for whether to run directly to the Eagle's Nest City to relieve the siege, or to take the Blood Gate inside and outside to clear the city gate and let the army pass, it is all up to Your Majesty to please." ”

......

"Hmph-"

"Whew!"

The surrounding princes and generals made disdainful voices, and some even laughed quietly, and Randolph Tully said coldly: "This is indeed a good way, but I don't know which path into the Arryn Valley does your lord the chief logistics officer know?"

"I don't know, if I had known, the rebels in the valley would have known it too, and this kind of path would be meaningless, what we need - a path that the rebels in the valley don't know, or that has been freshly opened. ”

"To put it lightly, are you fools when the many armies that have attacked the Arryn Valley for thousands of years, and so many people on our side! The Bright Moon Mountain Range that surrounds the Arryn Valley stretches for hundreds of miles, and how much time does it take to find a path over the mountains and mountains here?" Landau Tully said disdainfully: "A month, two months, or half a year?!" During this period, will our tens of thousands of horses go home to farm first, or will we sit and wait at the mouth of the valley? The Tyrelll family can afford to provide grain and grass, but what about the round-trip expenses and military salaries?"

"Mistress Tully, your question is correct. Egger had long anticipated that he would inevitably be questioned by this, and had a solution: "If King Robert allowed a few families in the valley who were not involved in the rebellion to come to the battle meeting, they would have told His Majesty that the path into the valley was already ready, and there was more than one, but the mountain clans and tribes who were familiar with and controlled these paths did not submit to the Eagle's Nest or the Iron Throne, and the outsiders who did not know the valley were also deceived by the sentence 'To enter the valley, you must pass through the blood gate'— This sentence should actually be said: If you want to enter the valley through the flat avenue, you must pass through the blood gate!"

A small blind spot in thinking, it doesn't take any effort to poke it open, the key is how to use it after seeing through it - this kind of thing is not something you can get around if you want to.

He paused for a moment and revealed the final answer: "But if you just want to end the war, you don't have to take the blood gate, so the strategy I offer is: the army will not move, continue to throw stones and arrows every day for feints, send thousands of elites with a small amount of grain and grass into the Mingyue Mountain Range to encircle and suppress the Gaoshan clan tribes, coercion and lure them to surrender, and these people who are familiar with the terrain will lead the strange soldiers into the Arryn Valley, and great things can be done!"

"In order to avoid suspicion on the part of the defenders, it is best for us to disguise these strange soldiers as peasant soldiers who have been dismissed and are about to go home to farm, and pretend to evacuate the battlefield first, but in fact they make a detour into the Bright Moon Mountains. The rebels never dreamed that the people we left behind were all miscellaneous cards and recruits, and the elite of the hundred battles left the camp instead, and by the time these people appeared at the Blood Gate, it would be too late!"

The plan is simple to say, but in fact it already includes a series of strategic and tactical ideas, such as attacking the east and attacking the west, the golden cicada coming out of its shell, stealing beams and changing pillars, and hiding from the sky and crossing the sea. Any modern person will feel that this plan is taken for granted, and it can't be simpler, but if you really want to formulate it from scratch, for such a backward world where there are no schools and military schools, you can be called "handsome" if you can arrange troops, and you can be regarded as a "fierce general" if you dare to lead troops to charge, but it can be called a clever calculation.

To be able to come up with such a complete plan in one day, Eggmo had a talent for military affairs, but in fact, the night watchman had already begun to subconsciously think about the question of "how to defeat it" the day he arrived outside the Blood Gate and found it so similar to the Sword Gate. When I found out that this war was closely related to my own interests, I looked back and found that my subconscious had prepared a solution.

＊＊＊

The tent was quiet, a minute ago, when Iger said the words "take the path in", most people were disdainful and teased, but now that they have given a concrete solution, who can have any objections now?

A handsome young squire fetched and filled Robert's glass, but the king rarely touched it again—he sat quietly behind the table, his thick fingers tapping down on the table, and even the blood on his drunken face seemed to fade a little.

Robert really wanted to be the first king to break through the blood gate in a thousand years, but with the defection of Petyr, with the current financial situation of the royal family, if he took it by force, it is estimated that he would not even be able to pay the pensions of the fallen soldiers.

After a minute of silence, he spoke: "What about you guys, give your opinion, is it feasible for the Alien Killer to come up with an idea?"

"I think it's feasible, if he doesn't say it, how many people in this tent can think of the people of the Alpine Clan in the Bright Moon Mountain Range who don't surrender?" Randolph Tully's tone was still hard, but his tone had changed a hundred and eighty degrees: "This is interesting, Lord Egger West—I heard that you are from overseas, and as soon as you landed, you were captured and sent to the Great Wall, how can you know so well about the situation in the valley, that even we natives of Westeros are inferior to you?"

"There's something called a book, my lord. Iger replied with a smile that he would not tell them that the book was called A Song of Ice and Fire, and that he would not tell them that the inspiration for his plan came from the history of the Celestial Empire and the Thirty-six Strategies: "There is also a saying that if you don't go out, you know the world." ”

......

"Your Majesty, I also think it's feasible!" Robb Stark took the lead in speaking: "There are also many clans and tribes in the North, and both the Kastark and Amber families have experience in dealing with these barbarians, and the Alpine Clan also has the blood of the ancestors in their bodies, and they also believe in the old gods, so it is easier than others to let the people of the North surrender than others. I am willing to personally lead the elite of the northern realm to carry out this plan!"

"The mountains of Dorne are numerous, Your Majesty. Oberon actually jumped out: "Most of my spearmen are not afraid to climb over mountains and mountains, as long as they give us a guide, they can also come in handy!"

Now that there is a feasible way, the various families are naturally asking for help, not because of how much confidence they have in this plan, but - no matter how difficult the Bright Moon Mountain Range is to climb, it is much better than being sent to attack the Blood Gate.

"Good, Alien Slayer...... Next, let's see if your idea is good, if you succeed, you will be rewarded, if you fail, I'm afraid I can only pull down my face and talk to those rebels. Robert regained his composure rarely, not only did he speak much softer, but he actually threw the pot on Egger, setting the stage for his possible future compromise: "Now, you can go out, and the others will stay, and discuss the specific task assignment together." ”
