Early the next morning, Samwell did not wait for Margaery to arrive, but hurried his army south to the wine hall.

After most of the day, a gray-white castle appeared at the confluence of the Mandeb River and the Zhouxi River, and the red apple flag of the Fosowe family fluttered over the castle.

Outside the castle there was an army of cavalry, but it was a mess.

Samwell sighed secretly, knowing that Garland Tyrell had gone straight to the fruit wine hall as Lady Olenna had guessed, and that the Fosoway family had probably reversed.

At this moment, he could only sigh that the old lion's prestige was amazing, after all, he had been the hand of the king for twenty years, and in the eyes of many nobles of the Seven Kingdoms, Duke Tywin was simply a messenger sent by the gods to govern the country, even if the Lannister family was in a worrying situation now, there were so many people who were willing to surrender to the lion.

Samwell cleaned up his mood and sent his attendant, Noah Noah, to inquire about the situation.

Soon, a red-faced fat knight followed Noah back.

Samwell recognized the man as Sir Bentham of the Bisbury family.

"Lord Caesar, you are a step too late, and that old fellow Raymond Fossoway also betrayed the High Court, and ran away with Lord Garland last night."

"Where did you go? High Court? ”

"It should be. Some soldiers saw them get on the Iron People's ship and went downstream. ”

Samwell looked at the closed gate in the distance, and asked:

"And what's going on in the city now?"

"In the city, Sir Tanthorn Fossowe has stayed in charge of the situation, and this guy has seized a group of horse knights and threatened us to retreat."

Samwell was silent.

Sir Bentham waited a moment, and then asked:

"Lord Caesar, are you going to attack the city?"

Samwell shook his head, "Wait for Lady Olena to come, she's already on her way." ”

"Okay." Sir Bentham was relieved to hear that Lady Olenna was about to arrive, and he didn't really want to attack the city, because there were also knights of the Bisbury family in the city, and there were many other relatives and friends, and he really didn't want to attack it unless he had to.

While waiting, Samwell naturally took command of the Southern cavalry, and since most of the officers in this cavalry were trapped in the city, he had no qualms about placing men.

After tossing for a long time, the cavalry of the Southern Route Army outside the city was finally reorganized and reorganized by Samwell, and it was no longer messy.

But Samwell couldn't be happier.

The real trouble with this riverbend civil strife is not in the military.

No matter how powerful the army he controls, as long as the important members of the High Court and the Tyrell family are in the hands of the rebels, he will be tied and thrown into the trap.

The root cause is that Samwell's current influence comes largely from the support of the Tyrells family, as well as from the support of most of the nobles in Riverbend.

If he dared to ignore the lives of the Tyrells family, his appeal would immediately evaporate.

Not to mention the high court, even the fruit wine hall in front of him, Samwell did not dare to order a strong attack.

If his orders had led to the execution of the Equestrian nobles in the city by the rebels, Samwell suspected that his army would even mutinied.

This also made him realize his biggest shortcoming-

The power that really belongs to the Caesar family is too weak.

There is only one Eagle's Beak Island in the fiefdom, and although Fengxi Fort has been occupied, it still needs a long time to operate to win people's hearts.

There are even fewer directly subordinate troops, and the potential of Eagle's Beak Island is limited, and the current regular army that can make up 2,000 people is already the limit.

Don't look at Samwell's ability to command tens of thousands of rivers and bends now, but none of these forces really belong to him.

It was the power of the Tyrells that he relied on, and the influence of the Ma Party.

There is a huge hidden danger in this situation of strong branches and weak trunks.

The current civil strife in Hewan has completely exposed this hidden danger.

But Samwell really can't help it, he has been in this world for too short, and it is a miracle to be able to run such a business.

He couldn't conjure an army out of thin air...... Well? Wait a minute.

Samwell suddenly thought of an army of bugs in Game of Thrones-

The Unsullied.

This is an army of slaves trained by the Astapo slave owners on the other side of the Narrow Sea, castrated from an early age, specially trained in brutal military training, fearless and absolutely loyal.

As long as you can afford to buy them, this is a strong and fearless army of infantry.

Samwell had considered the Unsullied before, but two factors prevented him from taking action.

The first is distance, Astapor is half a world away, and it takes too long to go back and forth, and it is impossible for him to leave his territory and go to the Unsullied.

Another reason was money, he couldn't afford to buy the Unsullied.

But now, neither of these difficulties seems to be a problem.

Because he has dragons.

Although Astapo was far away, if he flew there on a dragon, the speed would be much faster than by boat, and the round-trip time would be within an acceptable range.

As for the price, in the original book, the dragon mother paid for the Unsullied One to buy the Dragon Flame.

He can also learn and prostitute an army of innocent people.

With such an army, Samwell really has the confidence to dominate Westeros.

Never be as embarrassed as it is now.

Of course, although this plan is feasible, it is also far away from the water to save the near fire.

Even if he could ride a dragon to return quickly, the army of the Unsullied would not be brought back by a dragon, and when they came to Westeros by boat, the Tyrells of the High Court estimated that the corpses were cold.

It seems that we will have to wait for the civil unrest in the river bend to subside before going to Astapour.

Samwell secretly made up his mind.

Unable to storm the Wine Hall, Samwell sent a team of 100 cavalry to patrol the nearby towns and villages to drive away the Iron People.

But the cavalry squad went out for a trip, but came back to report that the surrounding villages and towns had been sacked by the Iron People, and those Iron People did not dare to confront the Hewan Cavalry on land, and had already withdrawn to the Mandeb River.

The riverbend cavalry could only look at the water and sigh.

When Samwell heard this, he couldn't help but sigh again-

Where did the Qingting Island fleet go?

They weren't seen when they were besieged before, and now that the Mandeb River is about to become a playground for the Iron People, they don't show up.

Samwell was almost certain that the Redwings had been co-opted by the Lannisters to participate in, or at least allow the civil unrest.

Alas, this is the hidden danger that will inevitably exist in "peaceful evolution".

He didn't want to tear his face with the Deer Party and promised to "not shed blood", but the Deer Party turned his head and started without any scruples.

Of course, this is also because Samwell's own strength is too weak, and even if he really plans to tear his face and sweep away the opposition of the Deer Party, I am afraid that most of the Equestrian Party nobles will not support it.

In the final analysis, it is a matter of one's own strength.

He doesn't have the confidence to say anything.

Thinking of this, Samwell's desire for the army of the Unsullied grew stronger.

After a day of waiting outside the wine hall, Lady Olena and Margaery finally arrived.

After listening to Samwell's account of the situation, Lady Olenna said calmly:

"Send someone to tell the city of Fosowe, just say that I have arrived, and if you want to talk, send someone out to talk quickly."

Samwell sent an emissary into the city.

Unexpectedly, the rebels actually opened the city gate directly and invited them into the city.

Samwell, of course, did not take it lightly, but sent the army of the Horse Party into the city first.

After completely controlling the wine hall, he entered the city with Lady Olenna, Margaery, and others.

"What about Raymond? He didn't dare come out to see me? As soon as she entered the city, Lady Olenna asked in an unkind tone.

Sir Tanton Fossoway saluted respectfully:

"Lord Raymond has gone to the High Court and asked me to negotiate with you."

Lady Olena sneered: "Okay, what do you want, say it." ”

Sir Tanton glanced at Samwell and said to Lady Olenna:

"I'd like to talk to you alone."

"Yes."

Watching Lady Olenna and Sir Tanton leave alone, Samwell gritted his teeth.

But there is nothing to be done.

Margaery, feeling the man's anger, stepped forward and grabbed his arm, and said softly:

"Don't worry, Grandmother will take care of this."

Samwell turned his head sideways and smiled at his fiancée, saying:

"I know."

"Come with me." Margaery sends out an invitation.

"Okay." Samwell stopped being cranky.

This is not a provocation by the rebels.

He can't afford to mess with himself.

Samwell actually had a solution to this rebellion, but he needed to take some risks, and he hadn't made up his mind yet.

He was going to wait for Count Landau to come back and discuss it with the other party.
