Plane Merchant Fancy Death

Chapter 712 Assassination
The current situation in King's Landing is indeed not very good. I said before that there are only 600 troops in King's Landing, and the troops in the North and the Valley are still on their way back to King's Landing. So Stannis is very stuck in choosing this time. Sure enough, he also knew that this was the only chance, and when the troops from the northern border really arrived, he would have no chance.

Of course, a few days have passed, and the troops in King's Landing City have expanded somewhat.Ye Junwen asked Varys to recruit troops near the King's Landing before, and he has already assembled 600 troops. Of course, the whole army is more than that, but the scope of the King's Landing is also very large. Only this few people have come to King's Landing so far, that is, It is said that Ye Junwen currently has 1200 troops available.

As for Stannis, his own army only has more than 2000 people, but he called the big pirate Salado, who has more than 200 warships under his command. Of course, these warships have sailors on them. They are pirates, and their fighting power is also very strong.At present, the gap between the enemy and us is still very alarming.

What's more troublesome is that King's Landing City is short of manpower and intelligence, and Stannis' side is conducting a surprise attack in the middle of the night. By the time they find out, the opponent's fleet has already entered Blackwater Bay. When I got up, the opponent's troops had already entered the city, and the King's Landing City was in a hurry to prepare for defense, but it was too late.

The other party's landing can't be stopped at all. The docks in front have been captured by Stannis' troops. The current situation is extremely critical, and Varys and Paycell don't understand the military situation at all. , Now King's Landing City doesn't even have a single capable general.

Originally, in this situation, Stannis had basically won, but even Stannis himself felt that it was not that simple, after all... there are dragons here.He is not very clear about the specific situation of the war in the north, but the only thing he can know is that Ye Junwen's dragon definitely played a key role. Otherwise, how could the troops in the west be defeated so quickly? Although there are many troops in the north and valleys, But there are also many troops in the western region, and Tywin is a famous general in the world. It will take a month to fight if he really wants to lose, but the news came from Ye Junwen's departure to the defeat in the western region. What causes it.

When he heard the news of the retreat of the Western Territory, Stannis was also a little panicked. Of course, he also hesitated whether to attack King's Landing City, but at this time, a person stood up and said that she had a solution to the most troublesome problem. Robe girl Melisandre.

Stannis still trusts Melisandre.When he saw the other party for the first time, Stannis only thought that the other party was a wizard, but soon, Stannis also believed in Melisandre, after all, he also saw many visions through the flames.

Stannis has now changed his beliefs, abandoned the seven gods, and returned to the Lord of Light. As the messenger of the Lord of Light, of course he also trusts Melisandre, but Melisandre said at this time that he would solve the problem. As for the question of war, Stannis was a little unconvinced.

His knights also expressed doubts about Melisandre. They didn't like this heretic very much, but Stannis still resisted all objections. After all, Melisandre expressed that he wanted to show the miracle of the Lord of Light.In fact, there is no need to guess too much. The biggest trouble that Melisandre said to solve is naturally Ye Junwen. Without the dragon, Stannis said that he has a great advantage and cannot lose at all.

Melisandre didn't say how to solve Ye Junwen, and Stannis didn't know what the so-called Lord of Light's miracle was. Enter King's Landing City.Stannis finally believed it, so he asked one of his knights to take Melisandre and approach King's Landing by boat. Although King's Landing was under martial law recently and it was difficult to enter, Stannis was also a member of the Baratheon family after all. Robert was the king before, and Stannis also had some contacts in King's Landing. Ye Junwen's control over King's Landing is not so strong at present.

In short, after everything was settled, Stannis also set off with a large army, and arrived at King's Landing City in the middle of the night. He didn't know what happened to Melisandre's side, and whether the miracle was completed, but no dragon appeared yet. , is a good sign.In short, he didn't know the situation there, but the siege would naturally continue, so he also commanded the battleship to start the siege.Originally, Stannis's troops were insufficient, so it was quite difficult to attack the city, but these warships were equipped with siege weapons. With the help of these warships, it would not be difficult to capture King's Landing. The soldiers in the city were ready, and the siege had already begun. The soldiers in King's Landing City were also a little flustered for a while. So far, they didn't even have a commander, so they didn't know how to fight.

At the same time, Ye Junwen just woke up and asked Varys about their situation.Of course, Ye Junwen was going to ride a dragon to attack, but they were just boats, so what's the problem?It's just that he rode a dragon to attack, and the defensive battle on the ground here still needs someone to command, Varys and the others are civil servants, he needs a general.

Of course, there were still generals in the city, and Varys immediately recommended a few, all of whom were Kingsguard.Speaking of the Kingsguard, he also explained to Ye Junwen a little bit, these people are simply the king's personal bodyguards, of course most of these people are knights, they have been on the battlefield, and have military exploits People, you must be joking when you say that they don't know how to command troops, so of course they are asked to help command the city guards to defend the city at this time.

But there are still some problems with the current Kingsguard. After all, these Kingsguards were the Kingsguards granted during the Baratheon Dynasty, and now Ye Junwen is the king of the Targaryen Dynasty. Just let the officials of the previous dynasty protect the current king. , should we consider the issue of loyalty?
Varys said that among the current Kingsguard Guards, a few obviously problematic ones have been brought under control first.The most problematic one is Jaime Lannister, Captain of the Kingsguard, who is Tywin's eldest son. Fortunately, he has been captured now, and he is obviously removed from the list.Then the second one, Sandor Clegane, this Clegane is the knight family under Tywin. Get up and go to jail.The third one is Marin Tran. This guy is a diehard fan of Robert. After Robert's death, he became Joffrey's personal lackey.The fourth one is Preston Greenfield. The reason is that the Greenfield family belongs to the western region after all. Although he has no obvious inclinations, he still has to arrest him.

After these obvious people are dealt with, there are only three members of the Kingsguard left. Although these three people are not obviously problematic, they are all from Robert's period after all, so how much loyalty do you say?It's just that after all, the Kingsguard can't be dealt with all at once. Varys put these people on hold for the time being. He originally planned to study this matter with Ye Junwen later, but there is nothing he can do now.

Varys also recommended the most stable person, Sir Alex Oghet.This guy can only say that he doesn't have any special tendencies, and the Aughet family is a family in the Reach. Although the troops in the Reach are rebelling with Renly, after all, they have also contacted Ye Junwen and the others. , After thinking about it, it is estimated that it can still be used.

Among the people mentioned, Ye Junwen didn't know anyone except James, so what else could he do? He could only trust Varys' judgment.So Ye Junwen also asked Varys to notify Alex to temporarily take over the city guard and organize the defense.

By the way, the City Guard is the Golden Robe, and there was a captain before.Originally, the city guard should be led by the captain, but this captain, Janos Slynt, was a member of the Lannister family, and he was one of the culprits who betrayed Ed and arrested the northerners.Before seeing the situation was wrong, he ran away with his people, so at present, there is no captain of the city guard, and there is no one to command.

In short, there are people in command in the city. Although Ye Junwen has never seen Alex before, and he doesn't know how capable he is, basically he doesn't need to fight back the enemy, just maintain law and order in the city just fine.The main output still depends on Ye Junwen.

After making such a simple decision to direct, Ye Junwen wanted to go out riding a dragon, but at this moment, something unexpected happened, Varys and Pai Sear sitting in front of Ye Junwen suddenly changed their expressions , looked behind Ye Junwen in horror, as if he saw something terrifying.Ye Junwen was taken aback for a moment, and turned his head strangely to see what they were looking at, but before he could turn around, there was a sudden "poof", Ye Junwen suddenly felt as if someone had stabbed him in the back, and directly pierced his body.

Looking at his chest, a black blade protruded from his chest. It seemed that someone had stabbed him.However, Ye Junwen was not very surprised by the assassination. What surprised him was the strength of the person who assassinated him. You must know that your current body is very hard. The strength of this person is not very good. I didn't expect that someone could pierce him with a sword.

"Your Majesty!" Varys exclaimed at this moment and stood up, and Pacelle beside him was already frightened.

"Don't worry." Ye Junwen turned his head calmly, first to see who killed him, but when he turned his head, he was also a little stunned.
