Chapter 13 13. Expansion
In the end, after a bit of wrangling, Theon extorted 20 golden dragons from Baelish.

Of course, these golden dragons will not be used to expand the army, but into Theon's own pocket. As for whether Littlefinger will tell the truth, he will definitely not be so stupid to tell such a deal.

Littlefinger was walking on the way back, his heart was bleeding all the time, his total family property was less than 50 gold dragons, which he used to build an army in order to obtain fiefdoms in the future.

Before the fief was obtained, half of it was blackmailed by Theon, a bastard.

After seeing off Littlefinger, Theon originally planned to go to Varys, but the arrival of Sansa interrupted Theon's plan.

"Theon, please, help me." Sansa begged Theon as soon as she entered the door.

Sansa still doesn't know that Sean betrayed her father at this moment, and only a very few people know about it.

After all, few people would choose to believe an obviously ambitious proton, but Ned did.

And even if Theon did not inform, Ned would still end up in the same way. The main deal between Theon and Cersei was the fact that Lysa Tully in the Valley planted Lannister.

"Sansa, calm down!" Theon quickly hugged the North Key, oh no, it's Sansa.

"I want to save you too, but King's Landing is very chaotic right now. I need to gain a foothold first. You can hold on for a while, okay?"

Sansa nodded helplessly in Theon's arms, then wiped away her tears and went back.

Sean looked at Sansa's back, thinking about how to reasonably encourage Joffrey to marry Sansa to him. After all, marrying Sansa is a reason to legally control the northern border.

There are two situations for the rule of Westeros, one is violent conquest, which will be gradually recognized after two or three generations, and the other is legal inheritance.

In most cases, Theon still wants to rule a certain place through the second method, because compared with the second method, the first method needs to pay a much higher price.

In the following half a month, Theon selected a total of 2000 people from among the refugees to join his army. At the same time, [-] people from the golden robe were incorporated into Theon's army and obeyed the orders of Theon. .

As a result, Theon's army has increased to 6000 people. Although the overall combat effectiveness is not very good, at least there are more people.

What's more, they ate all the food from King's Landing, but the refugee soldiers were grateful to Theon, and the original gold robes were also quite elite, serving as the captain of the army.

This is a rare promotion for them who have no background.

Relatively speaking, Janos Slynt is too inhuman. He is notoriously greedy for money. He not only sells the official position of the King's Landing Garrison, that is, the gold robes, but also likes to deduct the military pay of the civilians.

Nearly 3000 soldiers have to hand over half of the military pay to him, which shows how greedy he is. At the same time, he also took refuge in Cersei, who is considered Cersei's faction.

At the beginning, Theon noticed him when he first came to King's Landing, not only because he betrayed Ned in the plot, but mainly because of his arrogant attitude towards people.

Really impressive.

But it is estimated that Genos will come to the door soon, because Theon dug up nearly 500 people in the golden robe, and the protection fee collected by Genos this month will be nearly half.

"My lord Theon, His Majesty has held an imperial meeting and invited you to come over."

"Okay, I'll go right now."

When Theon arrived at the imperial meeting, everyone was already seated, including Janos Slynt, the commander of the capital garrison.

At the same time, Cersei is also there, which doesn't seem to be a good thing.

Especially Cersei's gaze, as if she was about to eat him.

"Your Majesty, I want to accuse Theon Greyjoy of premeditating, secretly weaving the golden robes into his army, and selecting young men from among the untouchables." Sure enough, Janos Slynt took the seat first En had the surgery.

Theon knew that there was definitely Cersei's instigation, because Slynt was unlikely to take the initiative to provoke Theon, he was a typical villain who bullied his subordinates.

Facing a powerful duke with [-] troops in his hand, without Cersei's instigation, he would never be able to do such a thing.

To put it bluntly, almost [-]% of the military power in King's Landing is now in the hands of Theon.

Theon is not afraid of anyone now, "Your Majesty, the expansion of the army in King's Landing is permitted by you, but those golden robes joined my army voluntarily."

Theon stood up and reprimanded loudly: "Janos Slynt, you accept bribes, buy and sell official positions, and people with golden robes need to pay half of their military pay to you. Is this how you are the commander of the King's Landing Garrison?"

"Your Majesty, imagine that your two traitor uncles brought tens of thousands of people to attack King's Landing, but the soldiers defending the city for you couldn't even get their full military pay. I can't imagine how much thought those soldiers have for you You work hard!"

Joffrey panicked after hearing Theon's words, and then set his sights on Janos Slynt, his cruel gaze was undisguised.

Slynt immediately broke out in cold sweat, and looked at Cersei for help.

Although Cersei was helpless, she had to find a way to save Slynt, otherwise, once Slynt was killed, the rest of the golden robes would probably be taken by Theon.

So Cersei immediately persuaded: "Your Majesty, Slynt helped you put down Ned Stark's rebellion, and your merits and crimes are equal. Now is a special period, and it is not suitable to kill him. Wait until your grandfather settles the rebellion." Not too late."

Cersei's words are still very useful to Joffrey now, as long as it doesn't touch the face of Emperor Joffrey, there is generally no problem.

In the end, Joffrey gave Slynt a reluctant look, thinking about how to torture this guy in the future. He felt that Theon was right, and even imagined the scene where his two uncles rushed into King's Landing and chopped off his head.

Sean didn't say much, and returned to his seat silently.

Everyone was silent for a moment, then Grand Maester Paicell took out a letter tremblingly.

"There's news from the Great Wall in the north that the savages have started to gather for some unknown reason, and they need some supplies and manpower from King's Landing." Pai Xier said the contents of the letter tremblingly.

Theon couldn't help curling his lips when he saw Pycelle, obviously he could still grow up with women, but he still had to pretend to be such an old man.

In the original book, when he was caught by Tyrion, he was still on the woman's bed, a typical clown.

"How to support them now? Their king is now trapped in King's Landing, and they rely on the huge Great Wall and dare to come to ask for support and supplies?"

Unlike in the original book, the original Joffrey didn't clearly realize that he was in a bad situation, and now Joffrey is threatened by Theon almost every day in order to highlight his importance.

It can be said that the current Joffrey is very clear about his situation, and is deeply troubled by it, and even the time to torture people is much less.

But also a lot more irritable, if the servants are not paying attention, they will be executed by Joffrey. Fortunately, they died very happily, and I don't know whether it is luck or misfortune.
