Game of Thrones: Wrath of the Sleeping Dragon

Chapter 1013: 2 ways

Then time passed in a hurry, and in the blink of an eye, the tail of Yin Gengli's 322 years has passed, and the new year of 323 has ushered in.

However, King's Landing, the capital of the empire, does not have much festive atmosphere for celebrating the New Year, because everyone knows that a civil war is coming.

This may not be obvious in the vast territory of the Eastern Continent Empire, because there is a strong suppression of the little queen Daenerys, but in Westeros, the core area of ​​the empire, even passers-by and beggars know this.

The eldest prince Heros, the prince regent who now controls the court, is about to attack the second prince Yinmon Targaryen.

The first prince's sphere of influence is in the valley, the riverland, the king's land and Dorne, while the second prince's power is much weaker than his elder brother.

The power of the second prince is mainly concentrated in his fief High Court and his recently married partner Kaiyan City.

But recently there have been more and more news claiming that the Clinton family of Storm's End is about to fall to the second prince.

It is said that it is because of the persuasion of Jon Toyne, the Governor of the Western Territory, and the main reason is that the Toyne family, the Clinton family, and the Bracken family of the Twin Rivers are all heroic officials who have followed His Majesty to conquer the world.

Their three major families have a tacit relationship, share a common hatred, and together constitute the upstart in the imperial aristocratic system.

After all, the Toyne family, the Clinton family, and the Bracken family have not had any glorious history in the past thousand years, but now they have ascended to a high position.

But a few years ago, there was a great epidemic in the riverland. Logically speaking, the Bracken family, which had the closest relationship with the royal family, was directly removed from the post of governor. The only son of the old Earl of Bracken was stabbed to death with a glass of poisoned wine.

Moreover, Heros also gave the post of Governor of the Riverlands to the Tully family of Riverrun who had been the main enemy in the war of conquest.

The Tully family will never stand up again. This is the keynote set by His Majesty the Emperor. After all, he almost burned Riverrun in a fit of anger, cutting off the blood of the Tully family.

Then there was a coup d'etat in Riverrun, and Horst Tully died. After his son Edmure came to power, he broke the city and surrendered, which preserved the blood of the Tully family.

But now the operation of the great prince Heros has hit the hard-working heroes and rewarded the former enemies. This has made the Toyne family and the Clinton family, who both made contributions in the war of conquest, feel cold-hearted.

Although none of them dared to openly oppose the imperial power.

But he is still full of vigilance towards the eldest prince Heros, thinking that he is a ruthless and very dangerous person.

Therefore, the Toyne family and the Clinton family have been forbearing, and then waited for this opportunity.

If they were asked to choose between the first prince and the second prince to support the ascension to the throne, then they would definitely choose to support the second prince Yin Meng without hesitation.

After all, the second prince Yin Meng is more gentle than the eldest prince Heros.

In addition to the two major families, Governor Pantos, who is far away on the other side of the narrow sea, is about to send an army to break through the blockade of the sea by His Highness the First Prince.

It is suspected that this army is going to land on the land near the stormy island of Tas to participate in this war, and this army is also supporting the second prince Yin Meng.

And with so many forces participating in it, the second prince gradually gained confidence in facing his elder brother. At least with everyone's help, he has the confidence to wrestle with Heros.

Therefore, in today's general environment, the atmosphere on Westeros, the core area of ​​the empire, is becoming more and more tense day by day.

Heros ordered the army to prepare for war. On the other hand, Yin Meng also did not dare to delay, relying on the old town, Lannisport and other outlets to actively prepare supplies.

Although Yin Meng occupies the affluent River Bend, he is not as rich as Heros, the elder brother who occupies the treasury of King's Landing.

But fortunately, the fertile land in the Reach is the empire's 'granary', and when the signs of war gradually appeared, the Reach had already cut off the supply of grain and grass to the imperial capital.

On the other side, Pentos on the other side of the Narrow Sea is also an important hub for the distribution of supplies to King's Landing.

However, Pentos has also cut off the exchange of food and important military supplies with King's Landing.

These measures have had a great impact on the preparations for the whole army of the First Prince Heros, delaying the progress and gaining more time. After all, the most important thing for Yin Meng now is time.

In addition to these, it also had some impact on the stability of King's Landing, the price of supplies soared, food tripled within a week, and so on.

These methods are actually all from the handwriting of "little devil" Tyrion Lannister.

"Father didn't let you be the former prime minister, it's really a shame."

Yin Meng was shocked by Tyrion's resourcefulness, vision and overall situation, so he sighed sincerely.

However, although Tyrion's methods are sharp, the foundation of the capital of the empire is too deep after all, and Heros is not an easy person to deal with. He finally overcomes these difficulties through a series of methods.

Then in the 323rd year of Yin Gengli, 30th year of the new calendar, just one month after the new year.

The eldest prince Heros officially announced to send troops to suppress his younger brother's rebellion on the grounds that he disobeyed the decree and did not arrive in King's Landing to report on his duties on time.

The eldest prince Heros sent troops this time, and the army was divided into two groups.

One of the roads was led by Harry Strickland, the commander of the Third Legion, who sent troops from the garrison in the riverland and attacked the fortress Golden Tooth City in the mountains along the wide river road.

The western region is naturally easy to defend and difficult to attack because of the continuous mountains. That's why Oberyn had such a headache at the beginning. He tried his best to deal with Tywin and caught the opponent by surprise.

There are only two ways to enter the western region, one of which is to launch an attack from the Hejian Avenue, and attack the fortress of the western region, Golden Tooth City.

The other side is the route that Oberyn took back then, capturing the Crake Hall along the coastal road, and then piercing straight into the interior of the Western Territory like a long sword.

But everyone knows that the second way is easy to go, but for Harry Strickland, there is no chance.

After all, the distance to detour is too far~lightnovelpub.net~ It is very likely that it will not be able to catch up with His Royal Highness Heros's marching plan, and the important route leading to the coastal road is under the control of the enemy, so it is easy to fall into an ambush.

Harry Strickland didn't have Oberyn's skill and courage in using troops, so he didn't dare to take risks, but honestly attacked the Golden Tooth City.

His Royal Highness the Prince Regent promised him that the Western Territory was fighting for himself. As long as he could attack the Western Territory, or delay the reinforcements from the Western Territory, he would deprive Casterly Rock City and give it to Harry Strickland in the future.

And Heros was divided into two groups, except Harry Strickland's route to attack the western region, and the other route was led by his most reliable commander, Oberyn himself.

Oberyn's army was the main force of the eldest prince Heros Targaryen, and they rushed straight to Highgarden in a menacing manner.

On the side of the second prince, Yin Meng personally leads the troops to fight the opponent, and the battle is imminent.
