Quanyou: I loaded the Demon Hunter system

Chapter 132 Fight or talk, that is the question

After waiting for such a long time, I originally thought that if I joined forces with Robb Stark, with the Kingslayer and the nobles of the Western Regions captured, I could at least force Tywin back and let him leave the riverland.

Clay has already made up his mind for him, as long as he returns to the western border to extinguish the ironborn attack in the western border, he will let him go.

Get Ed Stark back, and Clay no longer intends to follow the northern army to fight the world.

Eddard Stark insisted on Stannis' claim that Clay didn't care, and he couldn't control it.

He knew Ed Stark's stubborn attitude on this matter, so he didn't intend to dissuade him at all.

But this is an out-and-out trick. There are three kings in the Seven Kingdoms, and you support the weakest one. Renly has an army of , and Emperor Qiao has the full support of King's Landing and Duke Tywin. .

As for Stannis, according to the news that Clay has now, he is still nesting in Dragonstone Island and does not move. That is to say, he did not go to Storm's End and let Melisandre kill Renly with his shadow.

This is interesting, Clay doesn't know what stopped Stannis from doing this, it must not be some shit family relationship, that thing is a proper negative equity in this gambling game.

So, to be precise, Stannis should now be called Dragonstone and a quarter of the King of the Narrow Sea, no more, because the place he can control is only so big.

Well now, the plan didn't change quickly, and before he had time to make a move, Ed Stark actually fell on the last step of breaking through the Lannister blockade.

They all ran out and were caught back. Clay didn't know how to evaluate this matter.

In addition to being unlucky, it's still unlucky...

After this incident, Jaime Lannister and a group of captives from the Western Territory in his hand will soon be unsatisfactory. They used to plan to use this bunch of big treasures to slay Duke Tywin, and asked for land and gold. Basic operation?
Well, in this state, in order to return to Eddard Stark, these captives have to be given away. These are all delicious little money. Thinking of this, Clay's heart is bleeding.

"Mother!"

Robb Stark was busy checking on his fainted mother, and had no time to pay attention to the stunned princes of the North for a while.

So, the rest of the people turned their attention to this tent, the second largest army leader besides Robb Stark, Clay Manderly.

"Master Clay, what do you think we should do? Should we launch an attack immediately to take back Lord Ed? Our army is ready!"

Jon Amber's familiar loud voice rang again, and he also knew very well what the consequences would be if Ed Stark fell into the enemy's hands, because Tywin could insist on not wanting his precious son theoretically, but Rob could Don't want his father?
"Lord Karstark, where is your battle, give me a specific location, my cavalry is further south, maybe I can catch up."

Clay looked at the map of the battlefield, frowned and asked Earl Karstark whose armor was covered in blood.

Looking at the position pointed by Earl Karstark, Clay just sighed, it was too far away, and it was too late.

"How about it, Master Clay, can you send troops to catch up with them?"

Everyone looked at Clay, with the meaning in their eyes, but each had their own calculations and ideas.

Clay shook his head, tapped the table lightly, and said helplessly:
"It's too late, that position has to run back to the Lannister camp, but most of the time, it's the same time as me running back to the cavalry camp from here, that is to say, before I have time to send troops, people have already returned to the camp. "

"Then what should I do? I can't let my father go. I sent troops south to save my father."

After ordering someone to take the unconscious Mrs. Caitlin down, Rob Stark yelled at his father's vassals with red eyes. Fortunately, the basic IQ of the young man was still there, and he didn't rashly ask the whole army to attack directly.

"First of all, we have to think about whether to talk or fight. These are two different action arrangements."

Roose Bolton's soft tone once again attracted everyone's attention. After Clay left, in the meeting here, apart from Rob Stark who made the decision, Roose Bolton's opinion also changed. become more and more important.

The Lord of Dreadfort, at this point in time, because of Clay's series of brilliant victories against Lannister in the West Riverlands, Roose Bolton is now unspeakably loyal to Stark.

His mind is relatively clear, and the question he raised is also the key to the current situation. The meaning is very clear. If he wants to fight, there is nothing to say. Clay has returned to the army overnight and is preparing to launch an attack tomorrow morning.

If it is a negotiation, it is to bring the army there, just to put pressure on it. After that, it is up to the two sides to negotiate. The bargaining chips in the hands of both sides are similar, and there is room for negotiation.

But Roose Bolton can only ask this question, and it's not his father, it's Rob Stark who ultimately makes the decision.

"Can we exchange my father with the kingslayer and the nobles of the western region?"

Robb Stark's body trembled. No matter how mature he looked, after all, he was just a ten-year-old child. Facing the situation where his father was caught in the hands of the enemy and his life and death were unclear, he was obviously still unprepared of.

"My lord, we have requests from Tywin, and Tywin also has requests from us. To put it bluntly, the North has left your father, and the Stark family still has you to continue the inheritance. If Tywin loses the Kingslayer, Casterly Rock to whom? The little devil?"

Roose Bolton answered Rob's question, which reassured Rob a little, but for him, it was still unacceptable for him to see his father arrested and help him die.

"Okay, that's it, let's talk first, and then fight if we can't agree, but there is a problem. If my cavalry unit appears near the Lannister hall, it will lose the suddenness of the attack. Lannister will have ready."

Clay must make this stake clear. It is impossible for his cavalry not to go out tomorrow. Originally, Rob Stark only had ten thousand men in his hands. After the previous battle, he has always adopted a strategy of sticking.

Now, let him bring 1 people to the gate of Duke Tywin's 2-strong army. If Clay were Tywin, he would eat all of your 1 people, so why bother talking to you? go?

Clay's cavalry must appear on the flanks of Tywin's camp at the right time, giving him enough threats to make him put away his careless thoughts.

However, in this way, the suddenness of the cavalry will no longer be there. If we really want to start a war, it will be a real abrupt charge. Don't guess, the casualties will definitely be very heavy.

But there's no way around it. When the matter has come to this point, it's impossible for you to show nothing at all from the northern border. Moreover, you hold my son, and I hold your father. If the two sides don't talk to each other, then it's a meeting. Ghost.

After seeing Rob Stark hesitated for a moment, he still nodded. Clay didn't talk nonsense, and directly led the people to the stables. He would immediately return to the cavalry camp overnight to prepare for tomorrow's action.

Although they want to talk, they must be based on fighting, because if they are not based on fighting, the preparations will not be sufficient. In that case, Duke Tywin's huge lion mouth will bite off the necks of the northern princes.

……

Clay stepped on his horse and led his men through the night and night, and returned to his cavalry group before dawn. The left-behind Earl Glover rushed over with a look of surprise on his face.

If he calculated correctly, Clay would have gone to Lord Rob to have a face-to-face meeting, and then returned immediately. Didn't he agree to meet and discuss the next attack plan carefully?
Even if something happened, he shouldn't be in such a hurry. Clay spent almost all of his day on horseback. What happened?
"Sir, are you?"

Earl Glover asked, he was sleeping, but was suddenly woken up by the guards and told him that Clay had returned overnight, and he didn't know why.

"Lord Glover, order to go down and get ready. Tomorrow morning, the whole army will be prepared. Tomorrow morning, we will head to the Lannister camp."

What?This is about to start a war?Master Clay went back to discuss the next plan, but it can't be so fast, right?At this point of time, can you speak clearly?

Seeing his puzzled face, Clay understood what he was thinking, so he could only explain in a low voice:
"Lord Ed Stark has fallen into the hands of Lannister. We must prepare for war. The war is for better negotiations. My lord, do you understand?"

……

In the Western Territory camp, Tywin Lannister felt that it was really necessary for him to go to the Cathedral of King's Landing for a pious prayer.

Otherwise, it is not enough to explain that it is simply incredible luck. He is in the middle of the two forces in the north, and his son and a large number of vassals are captured by others.

The news that Lannisport was burned by the Ironborn also reached here. It can be said that the Westlands are only one step away from surrendering in a shameful manner.

However, after seeing the face of the unconscious prisoner, Tywin Lannister realized that he and the Western Territory were in a disadvantageous situation, and now, the road turned around.

"Edd Stark's life must be saved, at least he must not die until we have negotiated terms with his wolf cubs and handed him over to the Northmen!"

Duke Tywin gave his half-barrel of water doctor an order to die. Whether Ed Stark died or not had nothing to do with them, but he must not die in the barracks in the western region.

If during the negotiation, what I brought over was Ed Stark's corpse, then the northerners would be truly immortal with me.

From the current stage, the Western Territory urgently needs to stop the war and lick its own wounds to recover.

First, his son was attacked by a northern boy named Clay Manderly on the battlefield of Riverrun City. He directly sent off more than 1 elite troops, and he became a prisoner of the opponent.

After that, the brothers Stannis and Renly each put on a heavy crown for themselves. It can be said that in the Seven Kingdoms, except for the Iron Throne and the West, no one recognizes the throne of Joffrey. legality.

In this unfavorable situation, how could the seasoned Tywin think of fighting these direwolves in the north?
In fact, in Duke Tywin's heart, the northern border is the one that should not be his enemy, because, as long as other interference factors are excluded, and the northern border and the western border are broken apart, there is no irreconcilable contradiction at all. .

As long as Eddard Stark abandons his stubborn support for Stannis Baratheon's succession to the throne, the West and the North can immediately put down their swords and shake hands and make peace.

There is no crown on any Stark's head in the north, where the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, and they don't care about the south at all. Moreover, after the pirates of the Iron Islands chose to rob Lannisport, they have no worries up.

Even if Master Tywin defeated the northern army through a series of means, so what?The northerners retreated to the north of the Neck and closed the gates of Moat Calim, and the Lannister army could only look at the city and sigh.

The Andals have done things that have not been done for thousands of years, and Tywin Lannister has not swelled up to the point where he thinks he can break through Kalin Bay head-on.

As long as the northern border is not king, they can advance, attack, retreat, and defend. As long as Ed Stark returns, he will not bother Joffrey and the thorny iron chair under his ass. Lord Tywin decided to ignore it. them.

Because if you continue to be enemies with the Northern Territory and the Riverland, you will be surprised to find that the Lannister family's form is really too "good" when you spread out the map.

Their enemies are in the north, their enemies are in the east, their enemies are in the south, their enemies are in the west, they are everywhere.

As long as you don't want to seek death, you must divide and disintegrate these enemies. Of course, the necessary corruption is also an indispensable means.

Therefore, Duke Tywin is very much looking forward to this horoscope, but there will inevitably be a formal meeting.

I pinched the little wolf cub's father, and the little wolf cub was holding down his disheveled son under his paws, wouldn't it be nonsense if he pretended he couldn't see him and continued beating him?

Tywin was sure that the army from the north would come in dignity, and he assumed the posture of fighting him and regaining their lordship, but in fact, after the last fight, they also knew that their strength was not weaker than them.

If you can fight less, you will fight less. This is common sense for the sparsely populated northern border where human resources are extremely important. Therefore, they will definitely choose to negotiate with themselves.

By the way, if possible, Tywin would also like to meet Clay Manderly, whom he had never heard of before. His grandfather, Earl Wyman, had seen it himself. He was just a resourceful Lord of White Harbor.

But his grandson's offensive ability on the battlefield impressed Tywin deeply.

Tai Wen knew how well his son was capable of commanding troops, otherwise he wouldn't have entrusted more than 1 people to him and let him be responsible for breaking the main force in Hejian and besieging Riverrun City?
But now, more than 1 of them no longer exist, and almost all of them died at the hands of the cavalry led by Clay Mandalay.

According to the news, the commander of the cavalry in the northern border, in the battle of annihilating more than 1 people, his own losses can be said to be minimal, which has to make Tai Wen interested.

Regardless of the positions of the two parties, if but from a military point of view, this Clay Mandalay boy's commanding ability on the battlefield and the attacking ability of commanding troops are all admirable to him.

He had replayed the battlefield in Riverrun, and although he didn't know how Clay Manderly did it, judging from the results, he couldn't do better than this kid himself.

Thinking of this, he looked forward to meeting him even more.

"You must let Ed Stark last until we finish talking with the northerners, do you understand?"

Once again, Duke Tywin left here, but he didn't hear the doctor's sigh:

"I will do my best, Lord Duke, but, with such a serious injury, if I can survive tonight, it will be the protection of the Seven Gods..."
