And then he came back to Riverrun to reproach Edmure for beating Tywin fucking Lannister in the field of battle

[@theforce5191]

Edmure was told to hold riverrun and not to engage

@@theforce5191 yeah, holding a castle involves taking the fight to the enemy when it's strategically relevant, that's a very very general command, and you know the saying, the best way of defense is attack, Edmure saw his choices, and he made what he thought is the best to hold the damn castle, he could have bloody killed Tywin Lannister if he was a little bit more experienced, tactically what he made was the best way of holding the castle

[@theforce5191]

@Al4___ I get you on holding riverun. So what would "don't engage" mean?

[@quercingtime]

"serves as a STARK reminder"

[@peytonsmith1062]

He has no mistake. The mistake was Edmure not being patient. And Robb's biggest mistake was falling in love. He went soft.

[@jasonmaynard2402]

Good analysis. The man's name was Edmure though.

[@theforce5191]

The book mentions that edmure was told to hol riverrun. Dont engage. Edmure ruined the plans because he was a nice guy who didn't want to see his people get killed.

If he didnt had made this mistake Stannis would've been King

No, the army of the reach would have broken the siege, and robb would have died along with his army

[@robslebowski6776]

@@maxtomlinson8134 There would be no siege, Stannis would take the city by storming it

@@robslebowski6776 he won’t be able to storm it

[@robslebowski6776]

@@maxtomlinson8134 He would be, if Tyrells-Lennisters didn’t arrive. If Robb would not have made the mistake, than Tywin couldn’t move the Lennisters ro KL, the Tyrells attacking Stannis without knowimy about the Wildfire seems unlikely.

The Red Wedding, talk about utter shock in AWE. That was also planned out by both House Lannister and House Frey, even still if Rob had married one of Walder Freys daughters.

[@maxtomlinson8134]

The red wedding would have never happend if he sealed the deal with the freys

[@user-kx8pd4fr4g]

This plan was created when Robb was in Westerlands. Informing Edmure by raven or someone else was dangerous, message could have been captured

[@lethanhminh8001]

Lol that's an excuse. If he really want to, he would have done it

[@durrangodsgrief6503]

​@@lethanhminh8001exactly man could have sent riders or some shit to do this

[@hereticsign]

Did he expect the tully blood inside him to make edmund aware of his plan or something?

[@Al4___]

Send a fucking nobleman as a messanger then, it's not that difficult, Robb just expected everyone to know what they had to do

[@mohammadahmad3455]

Actually no he didn’t come up with the plan in the Westerlands. This was his intention since he left Riverrun to attack West

[@maxtomlinson8134]

If Edmure followed orders, robb and his army would be wiped out and himself killed, the plan was dumb
