BXBX NOVEL Chapter 396: Divide up
"It\'s too simple." Little Aegon rode into the city gate, quite proud of giving advice.
"That\'s because the army of Soul Hill was recruited by Princess Arianne." Tyrion said, "Besides, this is not a strong castle."
"Anyway, this is a good start. One day, the whole of Dorne, and even the whole of Westeros, will raise my three-headed red dragon flag."
"I\'ll wait and see." Tyrion said beautiful words, but secretly shook his head in his heart.
This little Aegon was so well protected by Lord Griffon, he hadn\'t experienced much wind and rain, and he was completely childish.
However, maybe this is what Varys, Illyrio and others want.
A naive young king, obviously better to manipulate.
Of course, from the perspective of the Lannister family, they don’t want to see a wise descendant of a true dragon appear in Westeros.
After all, they have no intention of giving up the Iron Throne.
Now the alliance is only to deal with Caesar together.
So, Tyrion can watch the fun with peace of mind.
"Sir Franklin," Jon Connington began to assign tasks after entering the city, "lead people to search the main castle carefully, and don\'t let anyone from the Tolland family be spared. Sir Moreau, go search for the bachelor. The tower and the armory. Sir Bened, you are in charge of the stables, the sept and the barracks.
Drive everyone into the yard, and don\'t kill unless the other party is stubborn. We are here to enlist the support of the Lords of Dorne, not to engage in massacres. "
"Yes, my lord."
Little Aegon stepped into the castle hall first, looking at the faded tapestry on the wall, the arched windows made of countless diamond-shaped red and green glass, and the rack of spears, swords and war hammers by the wall, with a disappointed expression on his face :
"Are all the lords of Westeros so poor? Or is it just the Toland family?"
Tyrion said: "The Dorne nobles are the poorest group among the Seven Kingdoms, and the Toland family is the weakest group among the Dorne nobles."
"I heard that the Lannister family is the richest in the Seven Kingdoms?" Little Aegon asked.
"Everyone says so, but we really may not be the richest family in the Seven Kingdoms."
"Then who is the richest?"
"It\'s hard to say." Tyrion thought about it, "The Hightower family is by no means inferior to us in terms of financial resources, and it is older and more influential. There is also the Caesar family. Although the rise time is very short, they can mobilize The army is the most powerful in Westeros, and it also has three dragons."
"Hmph! Those should be my dragons!" Little Aegon said through gritted teeth.
Tyrion blinked, knowing in his heart that Princess Daenerys should be the bride that Governor Illyrio prepared for this little Aegon. Unfortunately, Caesar intercepted him halfway.
At this time, the soldiers brought several members of the Tolan family to the hall.
"Have all the men in the Toland family died? Why are there only women left?" Little Aegon asked haughtily while sitting on the main seat on the high platform.
"My husband was detained in Sunspear, and my son followed Arianne Martell to attack Yronwood City, but he died in the city." Countess Namela said, "So I learned that Arianne After En also died in Yronwood City, I sincerely expressed my gratitude to the gods. Thank them for finally getting rid of Martell who led Dorne to decline and even destruction."
"Princess Arianne is dead?" Tyrion asked in amazement, with an inexplicable sadness in his heart.
"Yes, she is dead." Mrs. Namera curled her lips in disdain, "That woman pretended to surrender, attracted Caesar, and poisoned her father at the banquet to avenge her father, but Caesar didn\'t expect to be cautious and didn\'t drink what she poured. Liquor. She ended up poisoning many members of the Yronwood family, and, of course, herself."
Oh, foolish Arianne, reckless Arianne. Tyrion sighed inwardly.
The face of the beautiful Dorne princess resurfaced again, making him sad.
The cruel gods will not give me a wife. Tyrion thought a little self-destructively.
"Caesar is also in Dorne?" Jon Connington was startled, "How many troops did he bring?"
"I don\'t know. But at least he brought a dragon." Madam Namela looked at little Aegon, her tone became sarcastic, "The real dragon, not the cloth dragon hanging on the flagpole."
"Beware of your words." Little Aegon was really angry, "You are my prisoner now, so you must immediately bow down to the descendant of the true dragon, the first legal heir to the Iron Throne, or die!"
Hearing this, Jon Colinton frowned and persuaded:
"Little Griffin..."
"I\'m not little Griffin anymore." Little Aegon interrupted him, "Master Jon, don\'t you want to show your demeanor and kindness again? Don\'t forget the last time you showed kindness, What are the consequences."
Jon fell silent for a moment.
Bitter memories flooded my mind.
Robert Baratheon rebelled back then, but suffered a disastrous defeat at the hands of Earl Randall Tarly, and fled to Stone Hall Town with only a small army.
As the Hand of the King, Jon Connington led the king\'s army to surround Shitang Town and searched from house to house, but he couldn\'t find it for a long time.
Someone persuaded him to set fire to the whole town, and Robert either died in the fire or had to come out to die.
But Jon hesitated, he didn\'t want to hurt the innocent.
So, Robert hid under the skirt of the artificer until Eddard Stark and Hoster Tully\'s reinforcements arrived.
Wang Jun, on the other hand, missed the best opportunity to end the rebellion and end the war of looters.
Jon was therefore deposed by the Mad King and exiled to the other side of the Narrow Sea.
"Yes, Your Highness." Jon bowed his head and said, "I will not make the same mistake again."
Little Aegon nodded in satisfaction, turned to Madam Namela, and said:
"It\'s time for the Tolan family to make a choice, surrender or destruction?"
Ms. Namela hurriedly said before her eldest daughter Varenna said something she shouldn\'t have said:
"Yes, Your Highness Aegon, we are willing to surrender."
"Very good!" Little Yi Geng got up proudly and said, "Swear allegiance to me."
Jon Connington looked at the daughter of Earl Toland, who was forced to kneel down by her mother, and wondered in his heart, how sincere is such loyalty forced by force?
But he didn\'t say anything more.
He has keenly noticed that little Aegon has developed some complicated emotions towards himself.
Maybe it was because he had been his nominal son for so long, and the prince was dissatisfied with being at his mercy.
Regarding this, Jon didn\'t know whether to be relieved or wary.
After the Toland family took the oath of allegiance, little Aegon sat back on the high platform again and asked:
"Next, what should we do?"
Jon deliberated and said:
"Your Highness, I think the top priority is to march into Sunspear, get in touch with the Martell family, and use them to gain the allegiance of the Dorne lords. Only in this way can we drive Caesar\'s power out of Dorne.
Then we can team up with House Lannister to flank the Stormlands back and forth, free your Aunt Princess Daenerys, and get her dragon. "
Little Aegon shook his head and said:
"The Martell family has suffered a series of disastrous defeats, and they can no longer provide much substantial help. Since Caesar is in Yronwood City, I think we should lead the army westward and kill him. As long as Caesar is dead, Stormland and River Bend The land will naturally be ours."
"Caesar is not so easy to kill." Jon persuaded, "He has dragons..."
"Dragon is not invincible." Little Aegon said, "We have the scorpion crossbow. Back then the Dornishmen could shoot Meraxes to death, and we can also kill Caesar\'s dragon."
Jon was stunned and speechless. He suddenly discovered that since revealing his true identity, the Targaryen prince seemed to be showing signs of losing control.
Tyrion also noticed this, he didn\'t want to face Caesar\'s dragon, so he said:
"Your Highness, I don\'t think Sunspear is meaningless to you. Don\'t forget, there are still two captive armies in the Riverlands and Valleys. If you can gain the loyalty of these people, it will greatly enhance your strength. strength."
Little Aegon pondered for a moment, and said:
"In this case, let\'s divide our troops into two groups. Lord Jon, please lead five thousand troops to the west to meet Caesar. I will personally lead another five thousand people to go south to Sunspear City."
Jon turned pale with shock, and quickly persuaded: "Your Highness, we are already short of troops, so divide up at this time..."
"I\'ve made a decision!" Little Aegon obviously didn\'t like being taught a lesson, "Master Jon, all you have to do is follow the order."
"Yes." Jon said helplessly.
Stupid. Tyrion thought, this boy has the wisdom of a mad king, and maybe he is really the son of a dragon.
