The number of people has been settled, and the statistics have shown that the six major families have produced a total of 62,000 soldiers and 20,000 horses. Materials such as weight loss are not counted.
After determining the number of people, it is natural not to get together directly to the front line to fight. That is not called a war, that is called to die.
Even an army as strong as Lannister has to conduct military exercises, let alone the coalition forces of the six major families. Many of them were enemies before, and suddenly they wanted to fight together, and it was impossible to adapt to them all at once.
Even in modern times, don’t countries have to have joint military exercises occasionally, and it is naturally the same in ancient times.
And before that, the commander-in-chief of the joint army must be elected. When there is a battlefield, there must be a person who makes the decision. If there is a disagreement, this person is responsible for making the final decision.
Compared with the previous battle for the Iron Throne, the commander-in-chief's "four, four, zero" position is much fierce, and almost every family wants it, but a few quickly withdrew from the fight.
For example, in the Tuli family, Edmund did not have a strong desire to lead soldiers, while Ian of the Ailin family wanted to fight, but he also felt that his family was not strong enough, so he simply gave up.
The fiercest contention is naturally Stannis, Robb, and Nangong Shuo.
Robb thinks that he is extremely capable of leading troops and has experience in defeating Lannister, so he is suitable to be the commander-in-chief. But Stannis emphasized that he is a member of the Baratheon family, is of royal blood, and is more appealing to soldiers.
As for Nangong Shuo, he naturally has to fight. The reason is very simple. He has the most troops and also defeated Lannister twice, so it is normal for him to want this position.
The three families did not give way to each other. They fought for a full two hours, and no one was willing to let go. The intensity was so fierce that even a few others thought that the alliance that was finally built was about to disperse in the next moment.
But it seems that the three of them have a tacit understanding, no matter what they say is ugly, and even if they personally attacked each other, none of them said "withdraw from the alliance".
In fact, this situation is normal. After all, compared with the illusory matter of who will be the king after a win, the power of the coalition commander is greater and more affordable and realistic.
Seeing that the quarrel will continue indefinitely, Nangong Yu finally came up with a plan, that is, none of the three will be the commander-in-chief. When there are differences of opinion in the future, the three will vote, and whoever gets more votes will listen to whoever has more votes.
As soon as this proposal came out, the quarrel ceased temporarily. Robb didn't want to accept it, but Catherine next to him whispered something to him, so she reluctantly nodded her head.
As for Stannis, he naturally didn't want to accept it, because this voting system was quite unfavorable to him! Now that all major families already know that Nangong Yu and the Stark's little wolf girl are engaged, then these two families will be in the future. It's a family. If they vote, two to one can be beneficial to their family!
It's just that Robb has nodded now. If he doesn't accept it anymore, it will be difficult for him to defy the remaining families, so he gave in dissatisfied and agreed.
At this point, Nangong Shuo also breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, he did not expect that the battle for the commander-in-chief would be so fierce.
In fact, he himself is not willing to vote, so it is very likely that his opinion will also be rejected, which is not a good thing. It's just that being tough and letting yourself be the commander-in-chief is likely to make other families too dissatisfied, if it affects the alliance, it will not be good, so it can only be handled like this.
After deciding on the command matters, the next step is the time and place of the joint military exercise.
The faster the time is, the few big families have discussed and coordinated the time for the deployment of troops, and decided to start gathering next week. As for the location, there was a slight disagreement.
Robb suggested that the military exercise be held in the northern border. On the one hand, the area is very large and sparsely populated, and it is difficult for the spies of the Iron Throne to sneak in. On the other hand, the cold environment can also exercise the soldiers' body better.
However, Nangong Shuo directly refuted these two articles as soon as they were finished.
His opinion is completely opposite. The coalition forces should conduct military exercises in the river. There is no need to conceal them. They should make a big fanfare and let people across the continent know that it is.
Why? This involves the justice of the army, which is very important in ancient and modern times, that is, "the division is famous." What is the name of the coalition? Obviously, it is to set things right.
What mess? That is the king today, Joffrey on the Iron Throne is originally Lannister's blood, not Baratheon, which is equivalent to deceiving the people of the whole continent, so they are guilty! Not the North The coalition is guilty!
The fishing boat is very powerful, think about Ed, how did he end up in the original book? After he died, the whole continent thought he deserved to die, he was a traitor, and there were rehearsed dramas all over the continent, which made Ed a despicable Clown.
This is the fate of the lost fishing vessel battlefield. If the Northern Allied Forces also secretly conduct exercises in the North, it will not only be difficult to hide, but it will also make people think that you are a guilty conscience. Therefore, it is very important to be upright and put on the bright side so that people can be convinced.
After all, military is the continuation of politics. If the victory of a war does not gain any political benefits, it is tantamount to fighting in vain. For example, Yuan Shao fought Cao Cao during the Three Kingdoms period in ancient China. Somehow they were Feng Tianzi. You Yuan Shao fought in the past is tantamount to treason. Moreover, you are so arrogant that you are too lazy to use the title of "Qingjun" and deserve to be defeated.
As for the cold environment will exercise your body, this is even more far-fetched. I have never heard that staying in a cold weather for a period of time can make you strong. Even if you can, it will take years and months.
Not to mention that Robb hadn't figured out the purpose of the coalition army at all. It was not for exercise, but to make the cooperation between the families become tacit. The soldiers of the six families must have different styles. But since they are all coalition forces, they must be in 5.3 pace.
It's over.
Therefore, it is necessary to practice with great fanfare in the river, so that the common people can see it, and all cheer, so that the confidence of the military and the civilians will increase a lot under the influence of each other, and it will also make King's Landing nervous.
After all, Hejiandi and King's Landing are completely connected by King's Road. If you really want to march in a hurry, you will be able to fight over it in a few days. It will be unimpeded all the way, and it is impossible not to be afraid.
And this kind of continuous high-pressure situation will also make the enemy nervous. In short, it is profitable and harmless. After Nangong Shuo's explanation, the expressions of several family lords are quite strange and surprised, and they obviously feel very reasonable.
As for Robb, he said nothing and silently expressed his support, so the meeting ended and the coalition was officially concluded at this moment. .
