Chapter 249 Xianglong Inn and the River Land(2/2)
House Lannister.
The third child of Duke Hoster, his only son Edmure Tully, although he was already twenty-five years old, he was still as childish as a child. As a member of the Tully family
Now the only heir, he simply does not have enough courage and leadership ability to command the nobles and armies of the Riverlands.
At the beginning of the War of the Five Kings, because Lord Hoster was seriously ill in bed, Edmure shouldered the burden of commanding the princes of the Riverlands alone. When he heard that the Lannister army was gathering in the Golden Tooth City,
He also imitated others in gathering vassals.
As a result, the first war led by Edmure was completely defeated due to his blindness and lack of overall view. Not only did he fall into Duke Tywin's plan to seize the opportunity to attack the east, but he was even defeated by Jaime despite being outnumbered.
Lannister himself was captured by the Kingslayer.
Not only did the army he led fail to defend the border areas of the Riverlands, they even mobilized a large number of troops from the Riverlands, resulting in the entire Riverlands area except Haijiang City and Luanhe City being invaded by Tywin.
Massive sacking by the Duke's troops.
All the farmland that was about to mature was burned; the herds raised by the shepherds were plundered; the people of the Riverlands were massacred; the castles of the nobles were attacked and destroyed.
The army led by the Kingslayer Jaime Lannister even besieged Riverrun for a time. If Edmure's nephew Robb Stark hadn't personally led the army to support him, it would have been like a divine army descending from heaven.
Repulsed the Lannister army that was caught off guard; rescued the captured Edmure Tully; lifted the siege of Riverrun and captured the Kingslayer. I am afraid that the Tully family has inherited and ruled the Riverlands for thousands of years.
