Plane Merchant Fancy Death

Chapter 701 Letters
The atmosphere was a little tense, and neither Varys nor Pycelle spoke. After all, this is not something they can decide. The only thing that depends is Ye Junwen's attitude.Ed looked at Ye Junwen nervously, waiting for his decision.

"Yes." To the surprise of all three, Ye Junwen didn't seem to think too long before giving his answer and actually agreed.But Ye Junwen didn't finish his words, "But I also have some requirements."

"Please speak, Your Majesty," Ed said.

"You can't decide this matter alone, after all, you are not from the Baratheon family, right?" Ye Junwen said, "If they decide to fight me to the end, why should I keep them?" How about this? Let me make an agreement with you. When the battle is decided, I can let you send a letter to the Baratheon family. You can persuade them to leave some blood and give it to you to raise. If they agree, I will not To move these people, if they disagree and decide to fight to the end, then I will not be polite, what do you think of such a condition?"

Ed thought about it for a while, and felt that there was nothing wrong with what Ye Junwen said. This was considered a very lenient way.To be honest, that such a decision can be made at this time shows that Ye Junwen is indeed kind.So Ed thought for a while, knelt down on one knee, and said to Ye Junwen: "On behalf of the northern nobles, I have decided to pledge my allegiance to you. His Majesty Ye Junwen Targaryen, I hope you can abide by this agreement."

In fact, Ye Junwen's promise to Ed wasn't such a complicated matter. Of course, according to the general thinking, Baratheon and the gang of rebels should be cleared out quickly, leaving behind a threat to the throne.But this is just a general idea, and it is not such a troublesome thing for Ye Junwen, because Ye Junwen didn't want such a throne at all, and he didn't want his dynasty to last forever, anyway, he came here on the one hand It's a plane invasion, and I'm going to see what resources are available here. On the one hand, I just think the current situation is more interesting.Ye Junwen himself has no interest in the throne, but it is more convenient to ascend the throne at present, so he is definitely different from ordinary kings.If Ye Junwen really wanted to ensure the long-term stability of his dynasty, he would definitely do it, but not now.

Regarding this decision, Varys and Pai Sear next to him didn't say anything, and they were not very familiar with Ye Junwen, and they didn't know much about Ye Junwen's character.It's not that Ye Junwen is really kind, it's just to appease Ed temporarily, anyway, they don't intend to persuade him about this matter, especially Pai Xier, he has only surrendered to Ye Junwen on the surface.

"Your Majesty, since the Northern Territory chooses to surrender, I suggest that Your Majesty let Sir Ed continue to serve as the Hand of the King." Varys also said at this time.Ed was originally the Hand of the King, and what he is doing these days is also the Hand of the King, but his official position has not been restored, and Varys also took advantage of the opportunity to ask Ye Junwen to restore his official position.Besides, Ed's appointment as the Hand of the King is to announce to everyone the news of the surrender of the Northern Territory, which is naturally a good thing for Ye Junwen.

At this time, Ye Junwen also knew that the hand of the king means the prime minister, and nodded. After all, there is no one around him who can be useful. This Ed seems to be an upright person, but whether he has any talents, Ye Junwen is not very clear, so he can only use it for now: "Ed Stark, I now officially grant you the position of Hand of the King."

"Willing to serve His Majesty." Ed knelt down on one knee again, and Varys next to him handed over the badge of the Hand of the King at the right time. Ye Junwen also took it and handed it to Ed.

"Now let's talk about the current situation and plan, Hand of the King." Ye Junwen said to Ed.

"At present, the enemies we have to face are mainly three aspects." Ed said, "The first is the [-] army led by Renly Baratheon in the south. This is our biggest threat at present. However, most of his troops They are all troops from the Reach, and the attitude of the Tyrell family is still unclear. As for Dorne, they still don't know whether they will support His Majesty, so we can observe this and wait for their response. So at present we are mainly facing two aspects, one is Stannis Baratheon in the east, and the other is Lannister's troops in the north."

Ed paused, and then continued: "First of all, Stannis' side, their troops are about 2000 people..."

"Let me interject." Varys here said, "According to the current intelligence, Stannis's army may be more than 2000 people, because they have contacted some pirates nearby, and these pirates seem to be willing to fight for him..."

"It's okay for the king to contact the pirates later." Ye Junwen said.

"In short... Stannis's troops are now on Dragonstone Island." Eddard here continued, "Dragonstone Island is your majesty's clan. The people there have heard the news of your majesty's accession to the throne and should be waiting for your majesty now. Return. If we attack Dragonstone, we should have a chance to capture Dragonstone quickly."

"Clan land?" Ye Junwen was slightly taken aback.

Obviously, now Varys and the others know that Ye Junwen has not lived in Westeros, so they explain it to him.Dragonstone Island has been the family land of the Targaryen family since ancient times. When the Targaryen family was not king of the Seven Kingdoms, the fiefdom was in Dragonstone Island. Since then, Dragonstone Island has been under the direct control of the Targaryen family. , generally as the fiefdom of the prince, and after the Baratheon family seized the throne, the island was sealed to Robert's younger brother, Stannis, but after all, the Targaryen family has only been usurped for 15 years. The civilians are not convinced by the Baratheon family, of course they still support Targaryen in their hearts, so Ed said to attack Dragonstone Island first, as long as Ye Junwen passes by, it is estimated that the people on the island will soon turn to Ye Junwen. Naturally, without the foundation of the people, Stannis probably won't last long.

"Take down Dragonstone Island first, and deal with Stannis's troops. At the same time, recruit troops from the king's land, gather troops to go north, unite our troops in the north, and defeat the Lannister army." Ed continued, this is what he decided for Ye Junwen. next plan.

"Then how many troops do we have now?" Ye Junwen asked.

"This...about 600 people." Ed said, "Your Majesty, many of our troops were from the Lannister family before. In the past few days, many troops have disappeared, and they probably left King's Landing to return. The western border is over, so far, there are only about 600 people who can gather."

"Then how many ships do we have?" Ye Junwen asked.

"This..." Ed couldn't answer directly, because they didn't have a boat at all.

"I thought about it carefully. Why did I have to fight a big wave in my first battle on stage? I only wiped out 2000 troops. I feel that the deterrent effect is not very high." Ye Junwen said, "Kill chickens to warn monkeys, now there are so many Rebels, there are so many forces who are waiting and watching, this first battle, I must show them my strength, you are right."

"Then what does His Majesty mean..." Ed asked.

"Where are the troops of the Lannister family?" Ye Junwen asked.

"Your Majesty, the troops in the western region are currently divided into two. Tywin's 2-strong army is near Harrenhal, and the other is defending the western region," Varys said.

"Then, let's deal with the army led by Tywin first, and destroy Harrenhal." Ye Junwen thought for a while and said.

"Huh?" Ye Junwen finished speaking, whether it was Varys, Ed, or Pacelle all looked at Ye Junwen in surprise.

"What's wrong?" Ye Junwen asked.

"Your Majesty, your ancestor Aegon I was the first to attack Harrenhal during the War of Conquest..." Varys said.Yes, this sense of sight is simply the feeling of Aegon I alive.

"That's fine, just follow in the footsteps of our ancestors." Ye Junwen said.

While talking, suddenly a guard walked in the door, looked at Ed, and then handed Ed a sealed letter.Ed looked at it, it was a letter from his own home, he opened it immediately, and soon, his expression changed slightly.

"What's the situation?" Varys asked quickly, after all, the news from the northern border is very important now.

"There was an accident." Ed said, "Before I asked the troops in the northern border to gather and wait for my order, what I didn't expect was that there was an accident after the troops assembled."

Ed quickly explained that the army in the north was also divided into two troops before, one was going to attack the west in the west, and the other was Tywin's army holding Harrenhal in the north. After a long time apart, Ed was released from prison, so he contacted the Northern Territory to tell them not to attack and listen to his orders. After all, Ed didn't know whether Ye Junwen would agree to his conditions, but he didn't expect the troops to join forces. ,problem occurs.

The troops that were going to attack the western border defeated the Lannister family's troops and captured James Lannister. As a result, Rob took James back to assemble, and immediately rushed out to kill the prisoner.This man is called Rickard Karstark. He wanted to kill James because his two sons were killed by James. The two sides were bloody enemies, so Rickard insisted on killing James. If Rob If he didn't listen to him, he said he wouldn't listen to Rob.

This is obviously the meaning of the opposite. The current situation in the army is a bit troublesome. There are actually some people in the Karstark family who support it. Seeing that the situation is wrong, they also hurriedly wrote to Ed. After all, Ed is the northern border of the command.What they meant was to ask Ed to go back and preside over the overall situation.

And this letter actually has another meaning. To put it simply, people in the north don’t know how Ed is doing now. Although they received a letter from Ed before, they don’t know if the letter is Ed. Forced to write, they are still very worried about Ed's situation, which means to let Ed go back quickly and let them see what's going on.
