Little Rose saw with her own eyes how Gao Bin arranged his troops on the map and how he calculated Tywin step by step.
And she discovered that no matter what she did in the military camp or where she went, she would be closely monitored.
In other words, although Gao Bin let her know some military secrets, he also took measures to keep it secret, and the other party never trusted him from the beginning to the end.
This discovery not only did not make Margery depressed, but she was extremely excited.
In his opinion, this is the plan that a hero should have. How can a guy who shows his heart to a beautiful woman when they first meet him become a big deal?
Of course, Margaery was also very honest and did not make any suspicious moves. Apart from sending routine messages to her family every few days, she had nothing to do. She either chatted and walked with Gao Bin, or just chatted with Gao Bin.
The maid stayed quietly in the tent.
It seems that everyone in the military camp has been informed of her identity, and everyone respects her without any overstep.
At this time, Stannis had declared war on Dragonstone. At the same time, the North issued a statement to the entire continent that Ned was not the murderer, and the real murderer of the king was Queen Cersei.
Combined with the fact that Stannis actually claimed that Joffrey was not Robert's biological blood, things turned 180 degrees.
The Arryn family in the valley sent 20,000 troops to the Riverlands and sent a note at the same time, hoping to use the road to enter the Golden Teeth City to fight!
After issuing the declaration, the Northern Territory raised the banner of revenge for the king and officially declared war on the Western Territory.
When the princes of Hejian saw such a lively event, they decided not to sit idle and come together, so the Hejian declared war.
Coupled with the fact that the Stormlands raised their flag of rebellion, Erlu and Sanlu declared themselves kings, and the continent of Westeros was completely in chaos.
Compared with the original Battle of Five Kings, the scale of this battle is very clear.
Led by the Northern Territory and the Valley, we will unite with the princes of the Riverlands to encircle and suppress the Lannister family.
The Wolf, Osprey and Eagles united to lay siege to the Lions, this battle is the most eye-catching.
In the Stormlands, Stannis was very dissatisfied with the actions of the three lands. He didn't know if he was out of his mind or something, but he actually declared war on his own brother.
You may be thinking that before you fight against foreign aggression, you must first pacify the interior, and the Baratheon family must first decide the winner and loser.
Regardless, Gao Bin's goal has been achieved anyway, and he has no worries for the time being. He can make a high-profile announcement - Tywin Lannister, hurry up and prepare a coffin for yourself.
The moment war was declared in the North, Snow, who led his team to lurk under the Golden Tooth City, launched a charge towards the Golden Tooth City.
The combined forces of more than 15,000 northern vassals clashed head-on with the regicide troops who rushed to the Golden Teeth City to garrison.
No one won or lost the first battle, and both sides fought to the death.
The fighting here was lively. Robert led an army of 20,000 people to make a circuitous route, penetrated the western border from a narrow mountain road in the southwest, and launched an attack on Casterly Rock City.
The coalition forces of the riverland princes and the valley cavalry arrived in time when Snow's army showed its weakness.
No matter how powerful the regicide is, it is difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without rice. The total number of people in Golden Tooth City and the people he brought is only 15,000.
Previously, relying on sophisticated equipment, they killed nearly 3,000 people from the northern vassal coalition, and they also lost more than 2,000. Such a battle loss ratio can only be described as tragic.
If the consumption continues, Golden Tooth City will win, but it will definitely be a miserable victory.
The Kingslayer has sent distress signals to Casterly Rock many times. The letters for help have been delivered, but no one knows when the reinforcements will arrive.
It is impossible to count on Tywin, because Gao Bin's 20,000 troops took advantage of the night to sneak into Lannisport in ironborn warships, with Casterly Rock at their feet.
Fortunately, the troops directly led by Tywin were well-trained and organized a defense immediately, so they were not caught off guard.
However, he still underestimated the combat effectiveness of the Northern Territory soldiers. With the capital injection from White Harbor, the equipment of the Northern Territory soldiers can be said to have been upgraded to a higher level. Coupled with the already superior personal combat effectiveness, when the two armies met, the Northern Territory soldiers
One person beat the other person unconscious directly.
Gao Bin didn't use any advanced tactics. In this kind of head-on confrontation on the battlefield, except for the cavalry, which can play a surprising role in winning, it is difficult for army soldiers to have room to play. It's just whoever fights will die.
Obviously, the northern soldiers are much stronger in this regard!
The most important thing is that Gao Bin gave a very sincere mobilization reward before the war. As long as he survives and wins the war, his family will be guaranteed to have food and drink for five years!
In this cruel era, if you can have food and drink for five years, your income is already quite considerable. Just for this money, people in the north will have to risk their lives!
Gao Bin sat firmly in the central military tent, his brains were knocked out in front of him. He was still sitting there, chatting with Little Rose about romantic matters.
So much so that Margery had the feeling that the emperor was not as anxious as the eunuchs.
"You don't care about the results?"
Gao Bin chuckled and said:
"The result is already determined. Tywin is no match for me. Unless he runs away now, he will not even be able to save his life."
He is not Rob or Snow. He doesn't kill those who should be killed, and he kills those who shouldn't be killed.
Tywin is a nuisance if he is left here. Just kill him. There is no need to waste your time chatting with him.
"So confident?" Margaery didn't believe it. Tywin was a veteran god of war, so he could be defeated so easily?
But the next second, news came from the front line that Tywin's army was penetrated in the middle, and the opponent was forced to gather his troops and retreat to Casterly Rock City!
Gao Bin shrugged at Margaery:
"You see, it's that simple."
Margaery still couldn't believe it, but the result was right in front of her, and she couldn't believe it. She was just curious about how Gao Bin did it.
Gao Bin would not miss such a good opportunity to show off. He put down his tea cup and analyzed:
"Tywin is a very powerful person, but he is not so powerful that he is invincible, and he has very fatal flaws."
Margery listened carefully, she had already developed an admiration for Gao Bin.
"There is no doubt that Tywin Lannister is the best Prime Minister in Westeros since Lord Bloodraven, but even so, he is still often limited by his own vision.
In Tywin's eyes, others are not worthy of emotions. Everyone can only become a pawn and tool on his way forward. If someone dares to block the way, then completely erasing them is the only way.
As he grew older, this concept became more and more deeply embedded in his mind, until it finally destroyed him and the false peace he brought."
There were some examples that he couldn't cite. For example, the War of the Five Kings originally began when Tywin ignored the Iron Throne and sent troops to the river.
Tywin's plan for the battle in the Riverlands was very thorough, and Edmure himself failed to live up to expectations and was hung up and hammered by Jaime.
However, the old lion's glorious victory could not conceal his short-sightedness in the situation of the Seven Kingdoms:
When he sent Gregor to harass the river, Eddard was still sitting as Prime Minister in King's Landing and had the power to send troops to mediate the war. If he had sent Loras originally, then I'm afraid Gregor Clegane would have killed most of them with one sword.
Every river bend will go north to the west to attack his lair;
He carried out an indiscriminate attack on the princes of the Hejian Land. Regardless of whether they were pro-Tuli or those who had their own ideas, he "treated them equally" and chose to occupy their castles and plunder their territories.
In the end, all potential allies in the Riverlands were driven to Stark's side, which indirectly contributed to the growth of the Brotherhood Without Banners and the secret aid to them by the river princes;
Storm's End and Highgarden are getting closer and closer. Judging from the information Tywin can obtain, it is unlikely that he is unaware of this.
However, he ignored this potential threat to his grandson and still tied himself to the Riverlands. In the end, he did find himself trapped in a pincer attack from the north and the south at the beginning of the war.
This is his mistake in the overall situation, and more in small aspects.
After Old Tywin finished fighting in the river, Renly started causing trouble in the south, and the Young Wolf Lords also gathered together and headed south.
At this time, the old lion forgot how he had despised and ridiculed Frey all these years. He thought smugly that since they were in-laws, he would definitely not let Stark cross the bridge, so he waited contentedly by the Green Fork River.
In Tywin's eyes, a young man named Robb Stark and his army of eighteen thousand were like a flock of sheep led by a shepherd's dog. He firmly believed that this boy could not cross the river and had to go south to fight decisively. He was determined to rely on the strength of his men.
The cavalry crushed the northerners.
Once Robb is defeated, he can seize the time to go south and deal with Renly.
However, his ideas were wrong again and again.
Frey played a trick here and tied all his belongings to the direwolf. Robb led 6,000 cavalry across the river, hung up his son Jaime, and hammered him.
After hammering James, he also found a path through the Golden Teeth City and entered the Western Territory. The camp attack destroyed the remaining Western Territory troops on the western front at a very small cost. His cousin Stafford also gave Karstark a shot.
Dead;
On the eastern front, Tywin did not wait for Robb, but he waited for Roose Bolton, who was equally matched. The cavalry would definitely crush the infantry, but Bolton was not stupid. When the situation was not good, he immediately retreated to the Neck Causeway.
Trim.
Tywin should head west now. Bolton will definitely follow. It will be difficult for him to cross the river and flank the Young Wolf Lord.
If you don't go west, you won't be able to swallow up Bolton's more than 10,000 men. The Young Wolf Lord is looting the west, and you will definitely be dissatisfied if you don't go back to save his vassals.
At this time, Tywin may think of the scene when he faced Walderon Tarbeck, but this time the identities have been reversed, and Tywin himself becomes Tarbeck.
When Reystabek rebelled, 19-year-old Tywin led an army to Tarbek Hall. Count Waldron relied on his military strength and felt that Tywin, a young boy, was just a paper tiger, so he decided not to wait for the boss Roger Raye.
Si brought reinforcements and challenged Tywin to a duel.
As a result, the old man was hung up and hammered by young Tywin.
It's the same today: Old Tywin felt that Robb was a young boy, and he had to go back to Winterfell to find his mother after just two greetings. As a result, he was tricked, and his son was given a hammer. God's way is reincarnation.
This is on the battlefield, and there are more problems in private.
I gave birth to a pair of twins, but in the end I didn’t care about the children and raised them. If there were signs of misbehavior, I wouldn’t stop them or guide them correctly. I would leave them all to my wife Joanna.
But Joanna died early. Once their mother died, no one would care about the two children. They didn't know about the tryst in the tavern, or Cersei went to find the Mad King.
The old lion was still discussing a marriage with old Tully, but as a result, James here became the Iron Guard.
It would be difficult to deal with it after becoming the Iron Guard. Logically speaking, there should be no talk of marriage, but this person told Horst to replace Jaime with Tyrion.
Isn't that the same as scolding someone? You're a beautiful girl, but you're as beautiful as a fierce girl. If you're paired with a dwarf and you act like he's looking down on you, who cares about you?
And Tyrion.
The little dwarf is ignorant and found a farmer's wife. This matter is really not on the table. You can just break it up. In the end, you let his men take a turn with her, and after the turn, he asked Tyrion to take the role. He felt that he was a Lannister.
Money is too precious for such a lowly beast.
If farmers can't do it, you should find a small nobleman. There are so many people who want to climb high, but what's the result?
The old lion looks down upon him, and thinks that even a dwarf, anyone below Florent will not be considered.
But if you like others and they don't like you, it will be very difficult for you. You have delayed Tyrion for ten or twenty years in vain. If you delay, just delay it. If you don't let the female vote, you finally waved your hand and forget it.
Forget it, Stokeworth will do too.
Logically speaking, the eldest son should become the Iron Guard, and the younger son should inherit Casterly Rock. However, Tywin has the same virtue as Randyll Tarly, and I feel that someone I don't like is not qualified to inherit.
Randyll gave Sam a choice, die or become a night watchman, while Tywin wanted to kill Tyrion several times.
The Battle of the Green Fork, it doesn’t make any difference if there are more dwarfs and less dwarfs, just force him to fight;
After the battle at the Blackwater River, Tyrion was seriously injured and half of his nose was cut off. As a result, he was left alone in a small shed;
You have been acting as prime minister for so long, and you have done all the dirty talk without saying anything, so you have been given the post of minister of finance. As a result, he has been accused of exorbitant taxes;
Joffrey was assassinated. As soon as Cersei accused Tyrion, he was immediately arrested, thinking that now no one would compete with Jaime to rob Casterly Rock.
In the end, the dwarf had to fight for his own strength, went upstairs in the dark in the dark on his way to escape, and used a crossbow to kill the old lion.
In short, Tywin has too many problems, and his stubbornness is the biggest problem.
If a headstrong coach goes to the battlefield, why should he be beaten to death by the opponent?
After listening to Gao Bin's analysis, Little Rose felt that this was the case. Tywin, who had always had an invincible image in people's hearts, collapsed instantly.
"Then what are you going to do next? Casterly Rock is not easy to fight!"
Margery is now completely thinking from Gao Bin's point of view.
What she said was correct. Casterly Rock is a tall and magnificent rock castle located on the western coast of Westeros, overlooking Lannisport and the Sunset Sea opposite.
It is the capital of the Westerlands, where the Lannister family rules.
Casterly Rock, the ancient home city of the Lannister family, is no ordinary castle.
Although topped with turrets and watchtowers, and protected at every exit by stone walls, oak doors and iron gates, this ancient fortress is actually just a giant stone on the shores of the Sunset Sea.
When the sun rises and the shadow appears, some say the stone looks like a resting lion.
This stone has been a human habitation for thousands of years.
Before the arrival of the ancestors, the children of the forest and giants may have lived in the huge cave eroded by sea water at the bottom of this stone. Bears, lions, wolves, bats and countless small animals all have nests here.
Hundreds of mine shafts go deep into the bottom of this stone. After thousands of years of mining, the red and yellow gold deposits in the stone are still there.
The Casdleys were the first to convert their mines into halls and chambers, and they built a fortress on top of the stone from which they could survey their domain.
Casterly Rock is three times as tall as the Wall or the towering towers of Oldtown, two leagues long from east to west, and filled with corridors, dungeons, storerooms, barracks, halls, stables, staircases, courtyards, balconies, and gardens. There is even a tree here that can barely be called a godswood, but this weirwood is strangely twisted, and its tangled roots almost fill the cave where it grew, blocking the growth of other parts.
Casterly Rock even has a port, including docks and docks, because the sea has eroded a huge cave to the west of Casterly Rock, and the natural doorway is wide enough to allow longships and even sailing ships to enter and unload.
Casterly Rock has never been taken by storm or siege.
It is also one of the largest, richest and most defensible castles in the Seven Kingdoms.
Legend has it that when Visenya Targaryen saw Casterly Rock, she thanked the Seven Gods for allowing Laurent to leave Casterly Rock to fight her brother Aegon in the Battle of the Firelands.
Because if he stays in Casterly Rock, even dragon flames will not threaten him, but its authenticity cannot be confirmed.
Over the centuries, the lords of Casterly Rock have amassed great wealth.
The spectacular sight of Casterly Rock - especially the golden corridors with gilded decorations and walls, and the statues of a hundred Lannister knights, lords and kings wearing luxurious armor, which means that they will always protect Casterly Rock.
The Hall of Heroes is well-known in the Seven Kingdoms, even across the Narrow Sea.
But is such a majestic castle really invulnerable?
The answer is of course no. If anyone in this world can break through Casterly Rock City, apart from the little devil, the only one is Gao Bin.
Because they all know that there is a secret passage that leads directly to Casterly Rock City!
After the war started, Gao Bin had people searching for this secret passage. It was only a matter of time before he captured Casterly Rock City.
All he has to do now is wait!
So what Margery saw was a calm, safe Gao Bin who was in control of everything.
And Gao Bin like this is enough to make any woman sink.
Things did not go beyond Gao Bin's expectation. His men found the secret passage two days after Tywin huddled up.
Gao Bin made a prompt decision and arranged for people to call for battle outside the city while sending people to sneak into the tunnel.
When the northern soldiers wearing black armor appeared in Casterly Rock, all the Lannister people were stunned.
What's going on here? Can the opponent go through the wall? Damn it, there's a bug, why don't you just run away!
The soldiers of the Lion family were caught off guard and were beaten to death by the soldiers from the northern border. How long would it be before they ran away now?
The people in the north were furious. As long as they were not wearing black armor, they would all be stabbed to death with one sword. Those who could not be killed with one sword would be followed by an axeman who specialized in beheading.
This shows that Gao Bin is ruthless and is afraid of leaving a hostage and wasting food.
