Westeros also has sand table deduction. After all, they always have a history of 8,000 years. After fighting for so many years, it is not unconsisting to see sand table deduction.

However, Balistan still has to say that the sand table in front of him is really the most exquisite sand table he has ever seen. The details of every terrain around Astarpo are marked. The most important thing is that even the dynamics of every step of the enemy are marked on it.

"There are about 45,000 enemies. Most of them are mercenaries. At the same time, there is a fleet at sea that is approaching. All their dynamics are in our control. The key question now is, what level do we want to fight."

At this time, Lu Xuan, Jora, Gray Bug, Daenerys, Dany's Blood Alliance Guard, three representatives of the surrendered good masters and the commanders of the newly formed slave army gathered together to perform this sand table deduction.

Lu Xuan's words sound arrogant, but when you think about it, there is actually no problem. Although Astabo is also a commercial city, the city walls are tall and sturdy, and it is definitely a majestic city.

It is actually easy to deal with 40,000 enemy troops. Not to mention that among the 20,000 people, there are 12,000 Wudi. You should know that in the Battle of Kohall, an Wudi army, a Wudi army, had only three thousand people, and had a hard steel to defeat the Dothrak 60,000 Roaring Warriors. When it comes to defending the city, this enemy is actually not enough.

In addition to the fact that there is a bit of a threat at sea, this attack is just a joke in military terms. Why do you think that 40,000 mercenaries can defeat Astapo, who has 20,000 defenders? At the same time, Astapo at this time is different from Meerelene occupied by Daenerys in the original work.

In the original work, hundreds of slave owners of Meereen were killed by Daenerys, but a large number of them were left behind. Some of the remaining groups of people really defected, some were false, and some were secretly ill-intentioned, which led to the severity of internal affairs. At the same time, she had previously conquered Astabo but did not occupy (set a temporary parliament, and took over as a presidency, and went to Meereen by herself). All kinds of weird operations made people feel painful.

In this life, Lu Xuan guided her to fight steadily. Although she had defeated an Astabo, the entire city was completely controlled by her. This allowed her to mobilize the entire war potential of the city. She did not even see the tens of thousands of mobs outside the city.

But as Lu Xuan said, this war is easy to fight, but to the extent it is fought, it needs to be considered. Because of this battle, the entire continent of Essos was watching. The nine free city-states and the three sisters of Slave Bay are not on the same level. Even Lu Xuan needs to consider their attitude.

Two trade cities can gather 40,000 troops. If it were the nine free trade city-states, it would be probably not 400,000 in a minute. Although the battles Lu Xuan fought before were still far apart, this is a fantasy world. It cannot simply measure the number of people and ordinary soldiers.

If you want to win this war, Lu Xuan can actually lead his troops to fight directly. He charges head-on, and he can defeat the army alone. In one round, he can defeat a group of mercenaries. If in terms of military tactics, Daenerys's ability of the Dragon Spirit Walker controls the opponent's every move. With the full picture hanging, he can use various small means to drag the opponent down.

But if you win too easily, you will get rid of the opponent in one wave. The nine city-states will inevitably be frightened. Astabo's combat power is so strong that it will be great if it rises. The siege behind is inevitable.

But if you don’t win quickly enough, it makes people feel that Astabo is just like this, and it will inevitably arouse all kinds of covetousness. Daenerys’s strength is just like this, let’s take advantage. After all, this battle is a political show. It determines the attitude of the nine city-states towards Astabo.

Balistan was silent for a moment. He had some doubts about himself. Because he rushed over in a hurry, just to help Dany win the war. But he never expected that there were so many factors behind this battle.

In fact, Yuankai and Meeren are both victims. Daenerys has not been treated by giants like Valentis on this continent. Because the previous power seizure occurred in the city after all. The operation like a coup made outsiders not see the power in Daenerys' hands. But no matter what, after this battle, it will inevitably be completely exposed.

Everyone looked at Daenerys. Lu Xuan did not make the decision to make the whole plan. Just as he taught Daenerys before. As an emperor, you can have mediocre intelligence, rough strategy, and low-level power. But one thing you must have, that is, you must have enough decisiveness.

As a king, think tank, subordinate, and minister, he will make up for the shortcomings in the past. However, decisiveness must come from oneself. Whether it is right or wrong, the king needs to make a judgment. This is the meaning of an emperor's existence.

Daenerys is still very young now. But this is exactly what Lu Xuan is interested in. If he is just a woman of Wu Zetian level, then it will be meaningless to train him. He enjoys the pleasure of Daenerys growing up gradually under his guidance and eventually rule the world. For Lu Xuan, rule the world is boring, isn't it more fun for my disciple to rule the world?

Daenerys also understood what Lu Xuan meant. He knew it was time to make a decision.

She looked at the sand table in front of her and hesitated for a long time. Then she looked up and looked around everyone. Lu Xuan noticed that her heartbeat was faster, and an unprecedented strong emotion appeared in her eyes.

"I want to win this war. Not just win, I want to completely defeat the army of Yuankai and Meelene, and take these two cities with the flow. I will truly control the Slave Bay."

"Your Majesty, the port of Slave Bay is the top priority of the trade in the continent of Esos. Just taking down Astapo will make the nine city-states hostile to us. If they completely control Slave Bay, they will inevitably give all their strength to retaliate wildly. At that time, we must face the encirclement of the entire continent."

The person who spoke was Jorah. Although his level was average, he still had some effect after spending time with Lu Xuan for a long time. This point is clear. Three sister cities in Slave Bay, and one of them is barely within the acceptance range of the nine city-states. If Daenerys is ready to go back to Westeros to seize the Iron Throne, the nine city-states probably won't deal with her. There may even be a small sponsorship.

But if you want to take down all three cities and completely control the Slave Bay, this is absolutely not allowed by the nine city-states. They will not allow an outsider to control this critical bay.

Everyone expressed their opposition. Only Lu Xuan showed a smile.

"You decided?"
