#44 - Chapter 7 Civil War breaks out
Everyone was shocked by his move! It seemed the King felt life was too comfortable and had completely pushed the kingdom's four great houses into opposition, a deadly, irreconcilable opposition. No one knew where his confidence came from.
Sure enough, news came from the Vale within days. Duke Jon Arryn directly threw the King's order into the latrine. He resolutely raised the Falcon and Moon banner, summoning his vassals to openly revolt against the Mad King's tyranny. Eddard Stark, who was inexplicably saved from death along with his father and brother, became the new Duke of the North. Bearing the hatred of his family and country, he raised the wolf banner in response to the rebellion, as did Robert Baratheon, whose betrothed was 'forcibly taken' by Rhaegar, and who was inexplicably declared a traitor by the Mad King, the Duke of the Stormlands. The lords present responded one after another, joining Jon Arryn's rebellion.
The war officially began, and the summons from the Vale spread throughout Westeros. Duke Arryn declared that the King's actions were a trampling of ancient traditions, that the execution of the great lords of the Seven Kingdoms without due process was a disregard for the rights of the lords, and that he was no longer qualified to occupy the Iron Throne.
Duke Arryn's statement touched the worries in the hearts of all lords and nobles. If even a great lord like a Duke could be killed at will, what about them, the lesser lords? Feeling a sense of shared fate, no matter how they verbally supported the King, they at least supported the rebellion in their hearts.
Before long, the summons from King's Landing arrived. Although the lords nominally accepted the call, they were passive in their response to the King's orders. Their speed of action was extremely slow. The continent of Westeros was not small. By the time they were ready for war, it would probably be months later.
................................
Anyway, Liu Yuan admired the gossip of the people. The news spread from various taverns was faster and more detailed than that received by the Citadel with ravens. Moreover, there were even more amazing people providing annotations and analysis!
The latest news was that Eddard Stark had returned to White Harbor by sea. After taking office as the Duke of the North in Winterfell, he had already summoned the Northern army, and the Northern vassals were responding one after another, ready to march south at any time! Liu Yuan maliciously guessed that the Northern nobles responded and sent troops because the North had suffered from years of severe winter, and the lords were unable to support their people. Therefore, in order to save food, they sent all these young adults to the South to fight, and incidentally solve the food problem.
The Tully family of the Riverlands, due to their marriage relationship with the Stark family, also joined the army against the King under the leadership of Duke Hoster. Before long, new news arrived. In order to more closely consolidate the alliance during the rebellion, Jon Arryn married Lysa Tully, the already deflowered younger daughter of Duke Hoster. Catelyn Tully, Brandon's betrothed, married his younger brother, whom she had never met before, and Eddard Stark, for the sake of family interests, married his brother's widow.
The four great houses of the Seven Kingdoms, the 'Wolf, Eagle, Stag, and Fish,' officially formed an alliance to openly rebel against the Iron Throne. The four houses jointly supported Robert Baratheon as the leader of the rebellion, because in terms of blood, Robert's grandmother was the Mad King's aunt, Rhaelle Targaryen. Therefore, Robert had Targaryen blood in his veins and was theoretically qualified to inherit the Iron Throne.
After a brief fermentation, this news quickly spread throughout the streets and alleys of Oldtown. On this day, Liu Yuan received a message. A child delivered a message, saying that the Lady was about to give birth. He immediately understood that Ashara was about to give birth. He counted the days and felt that the due date should be about a month away!
He had no time to consider these things and hurried to the Weeping Town (a small town located in Oldtown to facilitate internal staff travel). Arriving at the rented house, he learned through questioning that Miss Ashara had suddenly fainted while taking a walk. Her water had broken, and a midwife had been found and was busy inside.
Liu Yuan thought about it and knew what was going on. Because it was close to the due date, he followed his experience from his previous life and told Ashara to exercise more and take a walk every day to ensure her health. It must have been that Ashara heard the rampant news outside while walking today, that the child's father must be from the Stark family. Whether it was Brandon's tragic death or Eddard's marriage, it was a considerable blow to her. Not only was the fantasy of love shattered, but the Dayne family was destined to be enemies with the Stark family. They would definitely meet on the battlefield in the future and fight to the death.
Liu Yuan also sympathized with her. This love-hate relationship was comparable to 'Romeo and Juliet.' After a series of blows, she had a miscarriage and the child was born prematurely. Liu Yuan was very experienced in this kind of thing. He already had several children, so naturally he wouldn't be nervous.
Perhaps due to his intervention, Ashara received very good care and was in good condition. It wasn't until late at night that a baby's cry was heard. Soon, Aunt Neri came out holding a baby girl, saying with a smile, "Congratulations, sir! It's a beautiful girl, mother and child are safe."
Liu Yuan took the child and was a little dazed. He didn't understand why Jon Snow would become a girl? Could it be that he took such good care of the pregnant woman that she mutated!
The outbreak of the kingdom's civil war had no impact on Liu Yuan's life. Oldtown was far from the political center, and the Citadel had a transcendent status.
After receiving news of the rebellion in the Vale, Aerys II was furious and immediately summoned vassals loyal to the royal family to go to King's Landing to defend the king. The Tyrell family of the Reach was the first to respond. After all, their current status and wealth were given by the Targaryen family.
However, the Tyrell family's position was a bit awkward. There were already two families in the Reach, Hightower and Redwyne, whose strength was no less than its own, and many lords did not care about Highgarden's summons. Even so, the Reach still had the most powerful strength in the Seven Kingdoms. Several major families bickered with each other for a long time.
Finally, after the Tyrell family agreed to be responsible for the army's supply, several parties reached an agreement and pulled together an army of 60,000 to support King's Landing.
In addition, the Martell family of Dorne also joined in because of the marriage relationship with the Iron Throne. Prince Doran, who had just inherited the position of patriarch, sent an army of more than 10,000, mainly composed of Dorne's unique desert light cavalry and spearmen, for the sake of his sister and nephew.
So far, only the Lannister family of the Westerlands and the Greyjoy family of the Iron Islands have not expressed their positions. They ignored the King's summons and remained neutral, temporarily watching. This was the largest war on the continent of Westeros since the Dance of the Dragons and the Blackfyre Rebellion.
