The several-meter-long scroll slowly unfolded in front of Gao Yuan. Through the efforts of successive generations of the Aylin family, they had detailedly described all the territories of the seven kingdoms ruled by the conqueror Yin Geng since the Conqueror's War on this huge scroll.

on the map.

From the land of eternal winter north of the Great Wall to the Arm of Dorne that was shattered by the children of the forest with magic. All the mountains, rivers, bays, islands and castles on the continent of Westeros are outlined in simple lines.

.

Although the Westeros continent depicted on this map is far less detailed than the map table on Dragonstone, it is already the limit of what the ancestors of the Arryn family could do. You must know that the conquest

Zhe Yingeng rode on the back of a giant dragon and flew all over the continent of Westeros. Only then did he have the map table in the Round Table Hall of Dragonstone that was comparable to a modern satellite map.

"Lord Gao Yuan, are you preparing..." Sir Nestor looked at the map in front of him in shock. He had been the steward of the Arryn Valley in the Gates of the Moon for fourteen years, but he had never seen it before.

I have seen this map in the castle. Extremely important items like this are usually hidden in the library of the Arryn family. This map was definitely brought down from the Eagle's Nest by my lord.

"The war has begun long ago, but we have been misjudging the situation." Gao Yuan came to the map of the Riverlands and pointed to the two locations of Golden Teeth City and Casterly Rock City. "The Kingslayer gathered the Western Army at Casterly Rock City with great fanfare.

, in order to attract Edmure’s attention there.”

"In order to resist the invasion of the Casterly Rock army led by the Kingslayer, Edmure has now concentrated almost all the troops he has gathered in the pass below the Golden Tooth City. This is exactly what Tywin Lannister wants.

have witnessed."

"All the troops in Pink City and Acorn Hall have been sent to the border by Edmure to guard against Sir Lodge and his gang's harassment of the hinterland of the Riverlands." Gao Yuan's fingers followed the gold marked on the map.

The avenue started from Kakudani Castle in the west and extended in the northeast direction, and then stopped at the location marked Pink City on the map.

"While the forces of these two castles are dispersed, the old lion will personally lead the main army of Casterly Rock into the hinterland of the Riverlands." Gao Yuan's fingers were on the two castles of Acorn Hall and Harrenhal respectively.

After knocking for a while, he finally stopped at the location of Harrenhal near the Lake of God's Eye. "His real target is Harrenhal!"

"Previously, the actions of the Lannister family were all Tywin Lannister's strategy of seizing the east and attacking the west. He asked the Kingslayer to assemble an army in Casterly Rock with great fanfare. This was just to spread suspicion. And he sent Loki's team to deal with it.

The burning, killing and looting in the Riverlands is just to disperse the opponent's forces."

Sir Nestor stared closely at the three castles that Gao Yuan pointed out to him and frowned: "It seems that all the lands of the Tully family south of the Red Fork River will be threatened, my lord!"

"Ser Edmure made a wrong decision. He should not have dispersed the troops in the Pink City and Acorn Hall. This was equivalent to opening the door to the hinterland of the Riverlands for the Lannister family. Heron

Most of Lady Bowen's troops followed the Tullys to the Golden Teeth to confront the Regicide, and the remaining troops were unable to resist the attack of the army led by Tywin."

"More than being threatened!" Gao Yuan sighed, "Once the Lannister troops come to Harrenhal, Lady Hean of Harrenhal may not even be able to defend her own castle, let alone resist Tywin Lannister.

The army is attacking."

"In this way, the crossroads on the King's Road and the ferry at the Ruby Ford will fall into the hands of Tywin Lannister."

"The armies of Riverrun and the Riverlands, which have been cut off from their escape routes and supplies, will then be like the caged birds, played by Tywin Lannister's family." Gao Yuan is not being sensational.

, now the Riverlands is truly in a desperate situation, and this single move caused the Tully family to lose most of the Riverlands territory.

Relying solely on the power of the two castles south of the Red Fork River is simply not enough to support the Tully family in reversing the war situation. Earl Mallister of Seaside City needs to beware of the Ironborn plundering at all times, even if he wants to send troops to assist his feudal lord.

You are also powerless.

Walder Frey of the Twins is another lord with a wavering attitude, and he is also a vindictive and vindictive person. As early as during the Reaver War, because he was the last to respond to the Lord Hoster Futile

The person who made the call was therefore scornfully called "the late Marquis Frey" by Duke Hoster.

For this reason, Walder Frey has always been resentful of him. Until the War of the Five Kings officially broke out, when Robb Stark asked him to borrow the Twins to cross the Green Fork, he still did not forget to talk to him.

Catelyn Stark mentioned this matter and repeatedly ridiculed the other party.

This is not the worst place. The crossroads on the King's Road and the ferry at Ruby Ford are also extremely important strategic locations for the valley. Once these two locations fall into the hands of the Lannister family, then the valley will lead to

The only land passage in the Riverlands will be blocked by the other party.

By then, let alone sending troops to support the Riverlands and Robb Stark's northern army, I'm afraid they won't even be able to carry out normal business activities.

Gao Yuan had even anticipated Tywin Lannister's next plan. The old lion would definitely leave an army behind and stationed near Earl Harroway's town in order to block the only way from the valley to the riverlands.

passage to prevent the valley army led by Gao Yuan from going to support Riverrun.

Due to the existence of the natural barrier of the Moon Mountains, it is extremely difficult for enemies outside to invade the canyon. A cunning old fox like Tywin will never be stupid enough to start a war with Riverrun and the Eyrie at the same time, fighting on two fronts.

It will inevitably weaken the Lannister family's current advantage on the frontal battlefield, so Tywin Lannister now only wants to concentrate on dealing with the Tully family in the Riverlands.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! When the war between the Lannister and Riverrun is completely over, there is no suspense anymore; Tywin Lannister and his army are free; or

It was the complete capture of Riverrun.

According to the Lannister family's business style of paying all debts, they will probably immediately turn their guns and target Gaoyuan and the Vale. However, Tywin Lannister may not be able to calculate the consequences of King's Landing next.

The changes that are about to happen.

King Robert Baratheon was seriously wounded to death by a wild boar's tusks during a hunt because he drank too much.

As the regent, Eddard Stark, after learning that the queen's three children were not the king's biological children, wanted to let Stannis Baratheon, the legitimate heir to the throne, inherit the throne. However, because of his own

A moment of kindness led to him losing the political struggle with the queen and being imprisoned in the dungeons of King's Landing.

Eddard Stark's defeat and imprisonment directly led to Robb Stark personally leading the Northern Army to intervene in this war that was originally limited to the Lions and Trouts. The Northern Army

The intervention brought unpredictable results to this war, which put the Lannister, who originally seemed to be in sight of victory, into an unfavorable situation in an instant.

Originally, there was still some room for change between the Lannister family and the Stark family. But who would have thought that the new king Joffrey would have Eddard Stark beheaded at his will, and the two families would fall into

A life-or-death situation.

"Lord Gao Yuan, what should we do next?" Even Sir Nestor saw the seriousness of the matter at this moment, and he looked worried at the moment, "Should we send an army to assist Tully?"

The family resists the Lannister invasion?"

"After all, we have a bitter relationship with the Riverlands. If Tywin Lannister and the others are allowed to occupy it, the intersection of the King's Road and the ferry at the Ruby Ford, the Blood Gate and the Gorge will also face Lannis.

The threat from the Te family.”

"I'm afraid it's too late to send troops now. I'm afraid Tywin Lannister has already led the army to attack the Pink City." Gao Yuan looked at the map in front of him in trance.

"My lord, it's not too late to start summoning your vassals now!" Ser Nestor said anxiously, "We can send a force from the valley before the Lannisters capture Harrenhal..."

"I'm afraid even you don't believe it when you say this, Sir Nestor!" Gao Yuan raised his head and looked at the other party. Nestor Royce didn't see any emotion in his eyes, "Facing the menacing Lan Lan,

Nistel Army, so what if we can send an army to support Harrenhal?"

"This hastily assembled unit has no combat effectiveness at all. The soldiers gathered need to be trained. Sending them to the battlefield now is equivalent to letting them die! It will only become the old lion Tai fed by us.

"This is a piece of meat in Tywin's mouth." Gao Yuan was very sure of this, "This army will only become a piece of meat that we feed to the old lion Tywin's mouth with our own hands."

"Even the elite soldiers we sent to guard the Blood Gate are like this. This plays into the hands of the old lion Tywin, making the defense of the most important gate of the Arryn Valley empty. This is just like what Ser Edmure said before.

The same mistakes we made, I believe Sir Nestor, you don’t want to see the day when the Blood Gate is breached, right?”

"Are we just going to do nothing and watch Harrenhal being captured by Tywin Lannister, and let them lead an army to block our only exit?" Sir Nestor became emotional.

He asked, "This is simply a cowardly act... If it were me, I would never let the Lannister family destroy the lords of the Riverlands and the Tully family."

"Please be careful with your words, Sir Nestor!" Gao Yuan's face suddenly turned serious when he heard this, "Please don't forget who you are talking to now!"

"Sorry...sorry, Lord Gao Yuan!" Seeing the gloomy look on his Lord's face, Nestor Royce was shocked to realize that he had just made a mistake, "I didn't mean to offend you just now, I just didn't want to see it.

....”

"What don't you want to see?" Gao Yuan's voice gradually became majestic, like a god asking, "Don't you want to see me hiding in this canyon like a turtle?"

Facing Gao Yuan's questioning, Sir Nestor quickly lowered his head and apologized: "My lord...I didn't mean that..."

"Huh, I'm afraid you don't dare to think like that! I think you, Sir Nestor, should be very aware of the consequences of offending your Majesty and your relatives." Gao Yuan snorted coldly, "It seems that I am usually too harsh on you.

Being tolerant...makes you forget even the most basic difference between king and minister!"

Seeing that Gao Yuan was really angry at this time, Sir Nestor hurriedly knelt in front of Gao Yuan, saying that he had absolutely no intention just now, and prayed repeatedly for Gao Yuan's forgiveness.

"Forget it, get up! I hope you can remember today's lesson." Gao Yuan leaned casually on the backrest behind him, "Remember, this is the only time, never twice! If I hear you do this again next time

If you speak rudely, don't blame me for not caring about the kindness of the emperor and his ministers and the merits and hard work you have accomplished."

After receiving Gao Yuan's forgiveness, Sir Nestor quickly stood up and expressed his gratitude to him.

"I never said that I would let the Lannisters do whatever they want in the Riverlands, but now is not the time!" Gao Yuan said, "But you are right about one thing. Now is the time for me to start gathering people.

All the vassals in the valley."

"Sir Nestor, how is the food harvest in the canyon this season?" Gao Yuan began to ask Sir Nestor about the situation in the canyon during his absence, "Also, I previously ordered the lords to start sowing.

How is the task of grains with short maturation time and large yields completed now?"

"Reporting to your lord, all the canyon lords have strictly followed your instructions. Now the mature grains and grains in the canyon have been harvested. The remaining wheat sown later will also be mature, and I believe it will be possible soon.

It's harvested." Sir Nestor replied respectfully, "All the fields in the canyon have been replaced with potatoes and corn that mature quickly and have huge yields."

"Very good!" Gao Yuan nodded happily, "How much grain did the caravan we sent out purchase before?"

"According to your instructions, we have purchased almost all the food in the Western Region this season." Sir Nestor continued to report, "Only because our caravan was attacked by the Lannister family recently, we lost a lot of money.

A large shipment of grain has arrived from Highgarden."

“Where is all this food stored now?”

"Reporting to Lord Gao Yuan, the grain purchased by the caravan is now stored in the Mingyue Mountains behind the Moon Gate Castle!" Sir Nestor explained, "Due to the large amount of grain transported by the caravan into the canyon, I specially ordered people to

Some new granaries were rebuilt in the Mingyue Mountains behind the Gate of the Moon, and all the food brought in from outside the canyon was stored there!"

"According to the preliminary estimate of Miss Mia Shidong, who is responsible for managing the granary, the grain stored in the granary can now be eaten by everyone in the canyon for three years. This does not include those in the canyon.
