Game of Thrones' opening sold the gods

Chapter 19 19. I will cut off his head with my own hands
While Theon was busy training his army in Riverrun.

The first frontal battle between the wolf family in the north and the lion family in the west is over.

Tyrion wandered around the battlefield, watching the surviving soldiers happily cleaning the battlefield. Perhaps the things picked off from the dead were the only benefits they could get.

Returning to his father's military tent, Tyrion found that all the nobles from the western region were there.

"This is for you." Tywin handed Tyrion a scroll letter.

Tyrion took the envelope, "What is this?" he asked curiously.

"You will replace me in King's Landing as the Hand of the King. We had three Starks as hostages, but now there is only one Sansa left."

There was a rare expression of anger in Tywin's tone, which shows how much he has opinions on Cersei and Joffrey regarding this matter.

Tyrion was a little flattered. Facing his father's sudden appointment, he felt the approval for the first time.

"Why me, I mean, Uncle Kevan or whoever, why me?" Tyrion's tone was full of disbelief.

Tywin poured a glass of red wine for Tyrion, "Because you are my son! Sister Ni can't do it well, so you can do it!"

Tyrion, who heard this sentence, understood that this was giving himself a chance.

Now Tywin doesn't know whether James is dead or alive. If James dies, only Tyrion is left.

If Tyrion can, then he will consider Tyrion, if not, then he can only adopt an heir in the Kevan family.

No one cares more about the Lannister family than Tywin. His son or daughter, even himself, are just tools for the development of the family.

Tyrion looked at the letter of appointment in his hand, "When shall I go?"

"Now!"

Tyrion drank his last sip of wine and hurried away, leading Bronn out of Harrenhal under the escort of a group of soldiers.

After Tyrion left, Tywin and his nobles continued to discuss the next battle plan.

Robb's military methods and thinking are undoubtedly very advanced. Facing Robb's weird and unpredictable tactics, the troops in the western region also lost one after another.

After making peace with Roose Bolton, Robb has been fighting Tywin in the riverland.

But both sides face the same problem, that is time.

The northern border mobilized a large number of productive forces in order to go south, and even the wheat in the northern border was not harvested, and large tracts of it rotted in the field.

So the northern army fought and robbed the Hejian land, and the peasants in the entire Hejian land hated the northern army.

Many people even formed a wandering army because they could not survive after being robbed, and began to plunder other farmers and small groups of patrolling soldiers.

This situation has intensified in the Riverlands, the most famous of which is the Brotherhood of Arms.

In fact, there are not only these wandering troops, but also mercenaries and Tywin's Magic Mountain.

Therefore, the amount of food that the northern border army can plunder is getting less and less. Once the food is insufficient, the nobles who have gathered from all directions will definitely disperse.

Similarly, the western army must not only resist the northern army, but also Lanli and Stannis from the south.

But the situation in the north is worse.

At this moment a soldier came in and handed Tywin a letter.

Tywin opened the envelope, and when he saw the contents in the envelope, he suddenly showed incredulous expression.

"The little kraken took Riverrun, damn it, how did he do it?"

Riverrun City had at least 4000 defenders and sufficient food, yet it fell so quickly.

Kevan Lannister immediately took the information and looked at it carefully.

"The letter says that Theon Greyjoy, wearing armor from the Drowned God, took down the gates of Riverrun alone."

Kaifeng sneered, who would believe such nonsense?
"Maybe I should ask the blacksmith (one of the Seven Gods) to make me a lion armor too." Kevan sneered.

"The Tullys are full of trash. Edmure has buried the riverside army, and now his uncle has sent Riverrun out."

Tywin's face was also gloomy, and it was definitely not a good thing for Theon to win Riverrun.

In his plan, although he promised Riverrun City, Sea Frontier City and Wild Stone City to Theon.

But he felt that the 5000 people in Theon's hands would never win any city, so he made a promise to Theon with confidence.

But the expected protracted battle did not happen, and Riverrun fell after only a short time.

Now the way home was blocked, unless he took a detour to Yinshan City.

"Send the letter to Robb Stark, at least Theon is not our enemy yet.

If Riverrun is lost, Stark will lose a leg, and he will be more anxious than us. "

Tywin immediately sent the letter to Robb, and the most important strategic point of Robb's southward journey was taken by the ironmen.

Tywin knew that this would make Robb sleep badly, and he was even in the mood to fall in love with the little nurse.

However, it turns out that Robb is far more angry than Tywin imagined!
"I have always regarded him as a brother, my father has never treated him badly!
But he betrayed me and my father. My father was executed, but he led five thousand elite soldiers in King's Landing to take Riverrun.

I must execute him with my own hands, no matter where he is! "

Robb didn't believe it at first after receiving Tywin's letter. First, he felt that Theon didn't have that strength, and second, he didn't believe that Theon would betray him.

"Go and call Lord Bolton, I have something to discuss with him." Robb said to the attendant.

Roose Bolton is one of the few people in the north who can let Robb feel at ease leading troops alone. The old Bolton's ability to lead troops is still very strong.

"Your Majesty, what do you want from me?" Roose Bolton said straight to the point after entering the door.

"Theon Greyjoy led a surprise attack on Riverrun, and now Riverrun has fallen.

I want to lead my troops back to Riverrun, and I need you to block Tywin here. "

Roose Bolton pursed his lips, "Your Majesty, we must make a quick decision. Food is running low."

"I'll be back soon, and I'll cut off his head with my own hands." Robb said confidently.

At this moment, little nurse Teresa walked in. Seeing this, Roose Bolton turned and left without saying a word.

After getting out of Robb's military tent, Roose Bolton glanced back at the vertical direwolf flag, and left here thinking.
