Chapter 135 Conditions of Peace
"To shut up!"
Tywin Lannister was very angry. The kid in front of him, the charm of destroying the city and the stronghold he showed on the battlefield gave Tywin a little bit of goodwill, which was completely wiped out by this passage.
This Clay Mandalay not only lacked the demeanor that a nobleman should have in his words, but also had a very bad personality and a small belly. He just gave him a little trick, and this kid immediately took revenge.
A word of Duke Kevan disgusted Tywin Lannister for a long time. Although he knew that his brother had absolutely nothing wrong with it, he still felt very uncomfortable.
Unexpectedly, his lion's roar had the opposite effect, because Clay was crazier than him, and the poor table once again suffered the pain it shouldn't have to bear, and Clay patted it hard and stood up.
"Lord Tywin, you should shut up! No way, I've been pissed off, so I'll give your dear son Jaime Lannister as a gift to Stannis of Dragonstone, you see he likes it." Don't like this gift?"
"You dare, kid!"
This is not part of the previous lines of Clay and Robb, it belongs to Clay's on-the-spot performance. Negotiations are like this. If you don't suppress the opponent's momentum, you will not be able to get favorable conditions for you.
Clay's move was actually very ruthless. He gave Jaime Lannister to Stannis as a gift. With Stannis' steely temper, it is possible to kill someone like Jaime directly. .
It is impossible for Tywin to drive Joffrey from the Iron Throne and ask Stannis to come to King's Landing to become king, so what method and price can Tywin use to get Jaime Lannister back ?
And once this happens, the first target of Stannis' attack may not be his younger brother who is also king. I gave you all the kingslayers. If you don't help me steal Tywin's butt?
At that time, being caught between two armies, the Lannister family will face catastrophe. At that time, he can only ask Renly for help, but what benefits can he give Renly?
It is impossible for these three kings to coexist. There is only one king in Westeros, so there is no way to agree. Moreover, Renly is not stupid. His army is still nestled in the Reach, and there is still some distance from King's Landing.
Why did he focus on the risk of the other two attacking him to rescue Tywin?Are you full enough?
The greatest possibility is that Renly is planning to take advantage of the chaos and an army of one hundred thousand will overwhelm and seize King's Landing.
But this is exactly what Tywin said was unacceptable.
Tywin Lannister desperately wants to keep the crown of the Lannister family, but Renly, the only thing he wants is that the crown on his head be unique, and the contradictions cannot be reconciled.
"Why don't I dare? Don't talk about Lord Ed. You and I know very well that you facilitated this negotiation because you can't fight anymore. The Ironmen burned, killed, and looted at your house. Let's see who can delay it." .”
"We just need to hold Riverrun City and the Neck, and block your passage back to the west of the division. Let's see, is my 2 cavalry running faster, or your [-]-odd army faster, maybe our next negotiation will be faster." , we are talking in the hall of Casterly Rock City where the direwolf flag is planted!"
Clay is not polite at all. Since you Tywin can't speak well, then I don't need to be kind to you. Now, under my single-handed plan, the northern border has an overall advantage over the western border. Why don't you take advantage of this situation?
If you don't take advantage of it, you will be sorry for your painstaking efforts.
Originally, if Ed Stark hadn't been arrested, Clay would be even more arrogant now, but there is no way. At this point, the northern border has an advantage, so they have the initiative, but both sides At least it's still equal.
Seeing that Tai Wen's eyes were about to burst into flames, Kaifeng couldn't help but sigh with emotion, it had been many years since he could make his brother who is deeply in the city so angry.
If he remembered correctly, the last person to do this was the Targaryen king known as the mad king. When he named Jaime as the Kingsguard, Tywin had the same expression now.
"Okay, Lord Clay, I think we should stop the meaningless verbal disputes. Aren't you here to stop the war and talk about the future?"
Kaifeng smoothed things over with his words, and let the two continue to chat so "kindly", both sides had to draw their swords.
"Then I'd like to hear about your terms again, Lannister."
Robb Stark, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke. When he was preparing to negotiate, Clay asked him to stop talking for a while, and he wanted to have a good chat with the Lannisters.
Now, he was very glad that he had listened to Clay's words back then. He had learned how powerful Clay's words were. If it were him, he wouldn't be able to utter or think of these words at all.
In his original expectation, he told Tai Wen directly, I will give you your son, and you will give me my father. It is a very reasonable deal. After saving the father, he will consider whether to really stop the war or continue.
"Except for the hostage exchange just mentioned, the Riverlands and the North will not support the rule of the two false kings, Stannis and Renly. In exchange, the Iron Throne will not interfere with you."
Tywin, who quickly sorted out his emotions, said indifferently.
"Can I understand that we don't care about your affairs, and you don't care about us?"
Clay interrupted the old lion and asked.
"That's right, if you have to understand it that way."
Tywin Lannister nodded blankly in reply.
Clay sneered in his heart. The old lion was still clinging to his pride. It seemed that the provocation just now was light and not tasteful enough.
"That's fine, Rob, let's go back today, and I'll give you a crown of gold, and we will support you as the king of the North tonight, anyway, Lord Tywin doesn't care about us."
As soon as these words came out, Rob was stunned. This was really a turning point he had never expected. Although Clay told him that he might improvise, what happened to the King in the North?
The audience was silent, because everyone didn't know what to say. If the northern border fiddled with another crown, things would be even more lively.
Tywin Lannister's eyes were fixed on Clay's face full of smiles looking at him, but there was no trace of warmth in his eyes, and he was in a daze.
He already understood that Clay was targeting himself. He seemed to be indifferent to other people's arrogance at all. As long as others showed a little bit of arrogance, Clay would resolutely fight back.
"What exactly do you want?" There was a trace of fatigue in Tywin's tone.
"I just want you to speak human words, my lord, and don't say these empty words here that are not worth discussing at all."
Clay replied to Tywin's question with a smile. With seven thousand cavalry in his hands, with the power to defeat Lannister and a dragon behind him, Clay did not feel any psychological pressure when he met Tywin.
"Let's be clear, we have three conditions. First, Lord Ed will exchange your precious son. The rest of the captives will be exchanged by their families or your warehouse in the west. Second, Lannister and you The Lannister king's troops are forbidden to step into the riverlands, otherwise it will be regarded as a declaration of war. Third, we are no longer vassals of the Iron Throne. In exchange, we can not support Stannis and Renly."
"Clay, my lord father..." Rob reminded in a low voice in Clay's ear. It is well known that Ed Stark supports Stannis in the Seven Kingdoms. Once this treaty is established, Ed Stark will Where?
"It's okay. Treaties are meant to be torn up. Who do we really support? Does Lannister care?"
Clay also said something to Rob in a low voice. In fact, the last point is of little practical significance, because the northern border and the riverlands have already been separated from the rule of the Iron Throne, but this legal principle needs to be recognized by Tywin.
"Is this your final condition?"
This condition is actually not harsh for Lannister, because Clay did not mention the ironborn who are burning, killing and looting on the coast of the western border. Nestor is uncomfortable.
Rob had asked Clay this question before he came here. After all, Clay was the one who contacted and planned this matter. Clay's answer was very interesting, and Rob still remembers it vividly.
"Why should we help those ironmen, wouldn't it be better for them to fight off the Lannisters?"
"But after all, they are helping us fight Lannister, so it's...not honorable to abandon them like this."
"Come on, give up your inflated sense of honor, the ironborn are not for us, they rob Lannisport because it is profitable, and we hold Balon Greyjoy's son, so they don't rob North."
"Don't expect the pirates to tell you the rules, think about why your father regards Theon as his adopted son?"
"Without Theon in hand, would you dare to lead an army south to the Neck with confidence? What would you do if the Ironborn were bought by Duke Tywin, who had countless golden dragons, and attacked the castle on the west bank in the north?"
"So, you didn't intend to treat them as allies from the beginning? Then they were defeated by Lannister, and while they hated us, we also lost the means to restrain Lannister."
"Don't think about it, this matter is a one-shot deal. Balon Greyjoy is also ambitious. Now that Westeros is in such a mess, can he always be willing to be under the northern border?"
"Then they won't attack us again? I can immediately order Bran to send people to strengthen the defense of the west bank."
"This is a problem with your Stark family. As long as Theon is still with you, they will be fine. You have to be clear about this..."
Rob had never wanted to use his brother Theon like this, but he couldn't contradict Clay, who obviously saw it better than he did.
"This is our final condition. If you agree, after we bring back my father and give you the Kingslayer, I hope you will immediately withdraw from Harrenhal. After all, this place is the land of the Riverlands."
Rob came back to his senses and answered Tywin's question. Although Clay was responsible for the main firepower output during the negotiations, it was he, the young master of the North with the surname Stark, who really made the decision.
The location of Harrenhal must be taken. Although it is a large stone ruin, it is the southern gate of the entire riverland. Moreover, the land near God's Eye Lake where Harrenhal is located is fertile and densely populated.
The earldom with Harrenhal as its core is a large piece of land, because there are no large noble castles near Harrenhal.
This is also an intentional arrangement. Although Harrenhal has a vast area, it is ruled by the weak He'an family. After Tywin led his troops here, he expelled the He'an family, who didn't even have a male descendant, into the wilderness .
As for whether they are dead or alive now, Clay doesn't know. Although it is similar to what he did in the Twins, Lannister's matter is much more stinky.
Because, the He'an family didn't resist at all, just a few people, under Tai Wen's military power, hid in the tower and shivered, just like this, Tai Wen didn't give any noble affection, just let these He'an go out of the house .
It is really hard to predict what will happen to the weak nobles who have lost their land in this turbulent river land.
When the peasants see the nobles with delicate skin and tender flesh in trouble, they will hardly help them, especially for families like He'an, which are mostly women.
For the defense of the Riverlands, Rob had to take over Harrenhal, partially repair it, and use it as the southern gate to resist the invasion. There was no way, the Riverlands was such a place of the Four Wars.
As long as there is war in the Seven Kingdoms, the land of Hejian will bleed, it is so cruel.
"To be precise, this is the most important condition. For the rest, we will send someone to discuss with you, such as supplies, personnel, land, etc. We are sitting here today, and we don't need to pay attention to these small things."
Clay took over the conversation. Seeing that the two people on the opposite side had no response, he frowned and asked:
"Why, Lord Tywin, what else do you want to say?"
No, we are negotiating, and the two of you have not been banned, can you speak?
For Tywin, this is not a harsh condition, and it just falls on Tywin's bottom line, but he doesn't want to agree to this deal right now.
Because there is an important prerequisite for the implementation of this negotiation draft, that is, Ed Stark must be alive. If he agrees now, Stark asks him to hand it over now, what will happen to Tywin?
Let a half-dead old wolf go there. With the temperament of those rough men in the north, if they insist on implementing the armistice agreement, then James will definitely be half-dead when he comes back, lacking some key parts.
To put it a bit cruelly, Tywin wanted James back because he wanted the thing under his crotch to give birth to a healthy next generation for the Lannister family. As for the second son Tyrion, when Tywin thought about the future The Duke of Casterly Rock will be a dwarf, and even generations of dwarves will be dwarfs, and he will feel sick.
In Westeros, all dwarves are illegitimate children to their fathers, and there is nothing wrong with that.
Pycelle will be here soon, and as soon as he arrives, heal Eddard Stark and send him away!
"Let's do this today. We have reached a partial consensus, but regarding your requirements, especially the adults in the western region need their own family to pay a ransom to redeem them. If this is the case, Mandalay boy, then you can control it." Fuck your Greyjoy dogs and make them bite less."
"Oh, the Ironborn wants to pay iron money, what can I do?
Clay would not even admit that he did it himself, and spread his hands to make innocent makeup. How can I, a pure and good young man in the north, instruct someone to steal a house? It's definitely not me!
