Chapter 127 The game between the lion and the wolf

It was overcast and rainy, and the water vapor from the gorge sea was sent to the sky above Harrenhal by the strong wind, turning into a boundless rain curtain and covering the ancient ruins.

The towering stone towers were covered with traces of blue moss, and the fierce wind whizzed through the five towers of Harrenhal, rubbing against the walls of the towers to make a whining sound.

"Is there a monster here?"

A young Lannister soldier, following his captain, a middle-aged man with a gray beard, was patrolling the tomb-like castle.

The sound of wind and rain, in the ears of the timid young man, was like the shrill roar of a monster crawling out of the seven layers of hell, which made him suspicious and nervous.

They had just passed by the highest burning king tower, when a piece of peeled city brick roared and fell to the ground, splashing huge water splashes in the dirty puddles on the ground.

They were lucky, if they were a little slower, with the thin iron skin of their helmets, if they fell from such a high place, their skulls would only be smashed to pieces.

"There are no monsters. The He'an family has lived here for so many years. Isn't there nothing wrong with it? Be careful, bricks are falling everywhere in this broken tower, and your brain will explode!"

The old soldier scolded, and pulled some stunned soldiers away to avoid the pitch-black stagnant water. Wet shoes in this place, but no one will care about you. If it keeps being so cloudy, hair will grow in the leather boots .

Lord Tywin Lannister led them, the children of the West, to attack all the way from the Golden Road, sweeping up several noble castles in the riverlands, including Harrenhal, the largest castle in the Seven Kingdoms.

The original owners of the He'an family here, in front of Lord Tywin's mighty soldiers, simply don't have the strength to defend such a huge castle. ground rot.

Although the He'an family is also a nobleman, following an order from Tywin Lannister, these former owners of Harrenhal were forced to leave their homes like wild dogs.

Their lands, their wealth, and their people, as well as this once most prominent fortress in the Seven Kingdoms, have all become the spoils of House Lannister.

Now, the Lannister army, which had fought fiercely with the army coming from the north, retreated from Earl Harroway's town to Harrenhal, rested the whole army, and accumulated the strength for the next attack.

At least the soldiers at the bottom, such as these two patrolling Lannister soldiers, think so, but the reality is probably much worse than they imagined.

Fenwang Pagoda used to be the meeting hall of the He'an family.

With a "crash", in the center of the meeting hall, all the things on the long decayed table were swept down to the ground by one arm. Obviously, something made the owner of the arm very angry.

Duke Tywin Lannister certainly has reason to be angry. In fact, besides anger, he now also has a sense of powerlessness.

The raven from the Golden Tooth City delivered a message to Duke Tywin who was on the front line of Harrenhal this morning, and this message, for Tywin Lannister, was the most important thing for the entire battle situation. It's like a bolt from the blue.

The defenders of Golden Tooth City saw the banner of the Northern Territory appearing outside the city with their own eyes, and then witnessed them intercepting and killing the defeated soldiers fleeing to the Western Territory. As the east gate of the Western Territory, the total strength of Golden Tooth City is only .

Most of these people have been members of the Lannister logistics army before, and their combat effectiveness is seriously insufficient. Another thing is that there are no cavalry here. If the official's brain is not broken, he would not issue such an order.

The last reason is that the commander of Golden Tooth City didn't know what happened at all. He didn't dare to let his troops leave the city. What should we do if we take down the Golden Tooth City?
If the Golden Tooth City is lost, the entire Western Territory will be open to the northern army. Therefore, the Golden Tooth City cannot be lost at all.

There was no other way, the guard of Golden Tooth City could only tell Lord Tai Wen the news he had through the raven, and let him make a judgment.

Although the letter did not say what happened to the 1 troops in Riverrun, the seasoned Duke Tywin quickly restored what happened on the west bank of the Red Fork River through a few words in the letter. .

The 1 army must have been defeated, otherwise there would not have been so many routs fleeing towards the Golden Tooth City. Moreover, the northern army still had the strength to send more than a thousand cavalry to intercept and ambush on the road. The situation on the battlefield must be one-sided, and the northerners can send these 1000 people swaggeringly without worrying about insufficient troops.

Falling for that little wolf cub, Robb Stark!It is estimated that the northern army will be divided in Twin River City.

Tywin Lannister felt strange on the previous battlefield. The cavalry strength of the northern army was so small that it was almost nonexistent. He was still worried that this cavalry would walk out of the battlefield and wait for himself and the northern army. When they get entangled together, they hit themselves from the side.

For this reason, he also specially sent an earl to lead half of Lannister's cavalry force in Harrenhal to look for traces of the opponent.

They really didn't expect that the northerners were so bold that 2 infantry dared to force the entire army here. After the First World War, they actually prevented their more than infantry troops from entering, and made themselves more convinced that the entire Stark army The army is here.

And their really powerful cavalry group came from Twin River City and went south quickly before everyone could react, directly attacking the unprepared camp of Riverrun City.

Tywin once hoped that his son Jaime would be able to escape. In that case, the loss in the western region would only be ten thousand people. With the rich family background in the western region, it would not be difficult to recruit another 1 people.

But after the letter from Golden Tooth City, the Stark army who was confronting him also sent a letter, and Lord Tywin's eyes went dark when he saw it.

The letter made it clear that Jaime Lannister and all the nobles of the Riverrun camp were taken prisoner, and the 1 Lannister army was almost wiped out.

Tywin Lannister knew the meaning of the letter sent by the northern army.

From now on, unless he can also launch a sudden attack like the raid on Riverrun, otherwise, he will not dare to touch a single hair of the northern army.

In Tywin Lannister's mind, his heir would only be his eldest son, Jaime Lannister, even if he had already put on a white robe and became a Kingsguard who had theoretically lost his right to inherit.

But this does not affect his status in Tywin Lannister's heart. The old lion has no intention of handing over Casterly Rock City and the entire Lannister family to that dwarf son.

Therefore, Jaime Lannister became a prisoner, which made the old lion throw a mouse at once, and the situation was turned upside down in an instant.

He walked up and down the meeting hall irritably, while the other nobles from the Western Region who came to the meeting all had ugly faces and said nothing. Tywin Lannister looked at these people, and the temperature on his face had already dropped. At freezing point:
"In this meeting hall, you all advised me and shouted your ridiculous plan. Now, why don't you speak?!"

The voice of the Duke of the Westlands was so calm that it was frightening, and those who knew him well knew that this was a manifestation of the extreme anger in his heart. Now, no one dared to speak out, in case Lord Tywin, who was in a rage, was offended , wouldn't it be too unfair to be dragged out and killed with a sword.

"Speak! This is Feng Jun's order to you!"

Tywin continued to torment the people present with his tone and tone that would freeze people to death. Feng Jun had already said so, and they had to cater to the scalp no matter what.

"Uh... my lord, could it be that little wolf cub is deceiving us? Sir James has 1 people in his hands, so he shouldn't be easily captured, right?"

Sebaston Farman said timidly, but just after he finished speaking, he felt Lord Tywin's life-threatening gaze, and only heard himself say:

"I should have told you to go back to Fairy Isle immediately, and let you and your castle be swept away by the waves, stupid Farman!"

He pulled out the chair and sat back in his seat, and continued:

"There's no need for the little wolf from the north to lie to us. Besides, he's not on the battlefield of Riverrun. I'm afraid someone else actually commanded that battle. Since only a thousand defeated troops were found in Golden Tooth City, the rest will How about it, do you still need me to teach you?"

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the conference hall became even more heavy below freezing point, and now things are really serious.

Because Riverrun collapsed too suddenly, the Tywin Legion in Harrenhal was unprepared. Judging from the situation, their army was surrounded by the Northern Legion.

Even if the opponent's army is much smaller than his own.

Tywin Lannister is now being framed up and riding a tiger. From a military perspective, he, who is surrounded, should immediately retreat to the south, away from the front line of Harrenhal.

But then the question arises, what next?

The annihilation of the entire Legion of Riverrun City meant that the defense of the western region was extremely empty. At this time, if he did not return to the western region, then the cavalry that defeated his 1 troops might sweep the western region.

Such a loss is unacceptable to Tywin Lannister.

But if he ordered more than 2 people in the entire army to rush back to the west through the golden road, what would happen to the idiot mother and son in King's Landing City?
Once you leave, do you still want King's Landing?Now, except maybe Stark, everyone's goal is staring at the capital of the Seven Kingdoms. Everyone knows that the current king is a child who doesn't understand anything.

As for the thousands of golden robes, no one took them seriously. If the golden robes were really useful, why is there only one Daenerys left in the Targaryen Dynasty now lingering on the other side of the narrow sea?

So, no matter how you look at it, it’s a dilemma now. You can’t lose the Western Territory, let alone King’s Landing. Tywin can’t wait to make up cavalry in situ, and take care of the commander of the mysterious northern cavalry group.

A long sigh attracted everyone's attention.

The only one who dares to sigh in the hall at this time is Lord Tywin's most trusted assistant, his own brother Kevan Lannister.

He opened his mouth with difficulty, looking at his own brother with helplessness and pain in his eyes, he said:
"I'm afraid we can't go on fighting this war anymore. We... have to ask the little wolf cubs in the north for peace..."

This sentence made many proud western nobles change their faces at that time. Some people ignored Tywin Lannister's cold gaze and directly refuted Kevan's words.

However, before saying a few words, everyone noticed Feng Jun's eyes that almost wanted to choose someone to devour, and they all died down immediately.

"I think it is necessary for me to remind everyone that they have captured my son!"

Lord Tywin suddenly raised his tone in the last sentence, which made everyone present tremble.

"No matter how nice your words are, have you considered my son James? It's not your son, is it?"

Now, everyone understood what Tywin Lannister meant. In any case, whether it was really a truce to negotiate peace, James Lannister, an extremely important hostage, must be brought back.

Originally, they had an Edmure Tully in their hands, and with two additions, they could barely match the worth of Jaime Lannister.

But now it seems that in the battle of Riverrun, our side lost a lot, and % of Edmure Tully was rescued. Therefore, there is no one in the West Realm who can exchange for Jaime Lannister. candidates.

During this period of time, the army of the Western Territory has been in place near God's Eye Lake, and the whole pear has been searched, but they did not find the missing Ed Stark, but barely caught a person who may be related to Ed Stark's whereabouts.

Lannisters are working overtime to torture this man, hoping to get out of his mouth about Eddard Stark's whereabouts.

Eddard Stark escaped from King's Landing, and his entourage quickly fell into pieces under his command, and ran towards the north in a small army.

Tywin Lannister captured a dozen fugitive northern soldiers, but when he arrived at the location given by the captives, there was no one there. Obviously, or the news of these people had expired, Otherwise, they are lying to themselves.

Tywin Lannister believes that the old wolf is still nearby, because his army has completely blocked the road going north, and it is impossible for them to cross the blockade they have set up.

The biggest possibility now is that Ed Stark put down his glory and hid in a small ravine like a mouse.

Although I can't find it for a while, but if I search a little bit, I will find it.

In this game between the lion and the wave, although the wolves took advantage of the lion's unpreparedness and took away the inexperienced lion cub, how could the lion swallow this breath?
The cunning golden-haired old lion is planning how to capture the opponent's alpha wolf, so that the game can continue to be played happily.
