Chapter 106 "Tactical Standoff"Marrying the Tullys does increase the Tyrells in the Seven Kingdoms The right to speak, and even to stabilize the latter's rule in Reach... But these things, in peaceful times... at best, are the icing on the cake. For this improvement, the marriage opportunity of the only daughter is used up, even Igor, a layman of the noble game I also don't think it's worth it.
In the case that Margaery wants to be queen, she can't seduce the king, and she will definitely focus on Prince... Poor Edmure, I don't know when the marriage major event will be resolved.
Wait, he is the future supreme lord of the Riverlands, even if he doesn't have a wife, can he still be without a ** and a lover, and get oneself and a Night's Watch to worry about the marriage of the Tully family?
Thinking of Night's Watch, Igor's chest suddenly burst into anger for no reason: the black clothed brothers of oneself are facing countless wildlings and natural enemies in the north of the North in a life-and-death confrontation. There was a big blind date meeting in the barracks in front of Bloody Gate, while watching waves of soldiers die under the first danger of Westeros, while arbitrarily carrying out shameful profit distribution?
How absurd! This evil feudal society!
…
The anger for no reason comes and goes quickly, even Igor oneself is confused by this sudden strong emotion and thought, is it possible that, yes Oneself pretending to be a loyal Night's Watch all day, pretending to wrap oneself in?
He spit oneself secretly, and he stopped thinking about the matter: "To sum up, everyone wants to climb high, but no one can climb it... This relationship is really messy."
Old Earl didn't notice the short-lived anomaly that Igor had just appeared. He looked at the tent forest in the distance and sighed: "Yeah, it's really messy, but it's not that everyone wants to climb higher. I just mentioned identity and status. And the great nobles whose strength is higher than my Antlers, it is normal for them to have some ideas. But Seven Kingdoms, after all, is composed of countless down-to-earth count City Lords and Landed Knights... As far as I know, There have already been at least two marriages, which were negotiated in this barracks before the First Stage battle today."
"Congratulations to these four families." For some reason, Igor Time also became lack of interest, and he didn't want to ask who the four were. He changed the subject: "Today's siege was quite exciting, but it's a pity that the defender made a higher move. What's the king's plan next? The rebel forces outside Vale of Arryn, Bloody Gate, can't just sit and wait, right?"
...
Watching other people chat happily The alliance climbs relatives, but oneself's son is far away in The Wall to deal with wildling, Earl Buckwell actually doesn't want to continue this discussion, just follow Igor's question to change the topic: "Of course we can't wait, after Bloody Gate is not an isolated city after all, and It is the Vale of Arryn with hundreds of thousands of people. It will take time. Within the valley, the rebels can defend for a hundred years. It is us who are short of time. Until the food in Eyrie runs out and we are forced to surrender If we haven't broken the Bloody Gate and we haven't rescued the people we want to save, then we've lost this battle."
Earl Buckwell made a clear and well-founded analysis, and continued. : "The door is blocked... This is really unexpected. Bloody Gate is such a narrow section. If you want to use the ladder to climb the city wall normally to capture it, you don't know how many casualties you have to pay to take it down. In order to get it done. In this dangerous stage, everyone at the battle meeting came out with all kinds of tricks. Some people said that they sent people into the gatehouse to dig through the stone piles of the sealing wall, and some said that they built a soil slope as high as the closing building in front of the Bloody Gate. The infantry rushed up directly... and outrageous, it was suggested to dig through the cliff beside Bloody Gate and enter the Vale of Arryn, you are Night's Watch, you should defend the city Good at, tell me, do these methods work? "
Igor had never defended the city at all, but this did not prevent him from judging that these methods would not work: "When you enter the gatehouse and dig a pile of stones to seal the gate, the defenders only need to throw a few oil barrels at the gate." , it's easy to suffocate people in it, but mounding slopes and digging tunnels... The adults said that it was us who were short of time. How could these measures be in time? "
"Yes, these are the problems." "Old Earl shook his head: "Although these methods are not easy to use, but after all, it is the plan proposed at the battle meeting... We can chat casually in private, don't talk nonsense, understand. "
"Military secrets, I understand." ”
......
The two of them chatted casually as they returned to the quarters of the Crownlands Army and Antlers Army. There was a flow of people from a large number of soldiers returning to their respective camps from the front. From the above, it is estimated that the commander has determined that they will not siege the city today. After saying goodbye to each other, the two returned to the tent belonging to oneself.
＊＊＊
The first siege failed. On the second day, the 80,000 troops stationed outside the Bloody Gate were divided into more than 30,000 troops and rushed to various places in Vale to assist in the removal of many castles exposed outside the Vale of Arryn. The remaining troops, according to the Dukes they belonged to, were divided into six countries. The origins are divided into six groups, and they take turns to undertake the offensive and defensive work.
The reason for this arrangement is easy to understand: although the rebels blocked the gate, it made the attack more difficult, but it also cut off their own sneak attack and The possibility of harassment, in this case, keeping all the army on vigilance day and night is undoubtedly a great waste of energy, and it may cause overall fatigue over time. Instead, it is better to take turns.
Whichever army arrives on duty, this army is not only responsible for the defense of the main camp, but also must go to the Bloody Gate to call the formation and attack it symbolically... It seems that it wants to drag down the rebels through wheel battles, but within There are also thousands of rebels in the valley, what if they take turns to rest?
There is only one possibility: Robert hopes to force the rebels to surrender by taking the remaining Vale castles outside the Vale of Arryn.
After two more attempts to climb the city, hundreds of casualties were not achieved, and the counter-insurgency war entered a tactical stalemate. Both the offensive and defensive sides fell into the embarrassing situation of if you ride a tiger, it's hard to get off ——Several nobles of the Righteous Alliance dared to launch a mutiny, hoping to drive the mad woman Lysa out of Vale and regain autonomy through "justice and justice" and the Bloody Gate natural insurance. During the negotiation, the army of the six countries was called to deal with the former allies and supporters; and Robert ... also believed that his military ability was outstanding, and he was confident that he could easily win the Bloody Gate. I didn't expect Vale's "rebels" to reach this level.
After a few days of staring at small eyes across the Bloody Gate, the rebels within the valley were the first to make concessions and offer peace talks - as long as Lysa Tully can leave V ale, the leader of Lords Declarant, Yohn · Royce, is willing to confess his rebellion, give up the House Head position to his son and put on black clothed, on the condition that Robert give up to hold the remaining several responsible.
This is already a very sincere condition, but unfortunately Robert still ruthlessly rejected this condition, insisting that the rebels surrender first, and all other conditions will be discussed after the surrender is over.
Igor can understand why Robert is so insistent, even in modern society, some countries still adopt a similar hard-line policy of not having any negotiations with terrorists. The reason is very simple. If anyone who rebels at random can negotiate conditions with the king, then the country will never have peace in the future.
At the coalition base in front of Bloody Gate, Igor doesn't know if the siege of the rest of the Vale is going well. Taking advantage of the dull stage of the stalemate between the two armies, he just made a fortune in silence - casting a wide net, collecting more fish, and choosing the best: walking in the military camps of various feudal countries, and selling the Night's Watch industry to every potential customer.
To be honest, in this era of generally backward concepts, it is indeed difficult to persuade people to carry out such advanced financial behavior as "investment". But in any case, it is always more efficient and easier to get money from these rich and powerful noble classes than to raise funds among the common people at the bottom of the exploitation.
After countless encounters and practice, his Amway skills have become more and more proficient. In addition, there are real objects and fiery sales in the hands of the book sellers walking in the barracks as evidence, even his oneself did not notice it. Under the circumstances...the number of nobles who are willing to receive him to sit in the tent for a while, and agree to visit the factory when passing by King's Landing after negotiation, has unconsciously started to increase.
