With the Northern Coalition advancing on both fronts, Tywin's Southern Army retreated into King's Landing.

In the Red Keep, the Lannisters sat on either side of a long table, eating a fairly hearty dinner. However, it was obvious that no one had the heart to eat, and the knife and fork in his hand did not move a few times.

"We... You're going to lose, aren't you? The silence was interrupted by the little demon Tyrion, and his tone was relaxed, "I heard that the Martell family is also preparing military horses, I'm afraid it ......"

"Dang!"

Before Tyrion could finish speaking, Cersei slammed the silver fork on the table, glared at him angrily, said shut up, and then looked at her father, "Father, we won't fail, will we......? Can you, farmer, defeat us too?"

“……”

Tywin silently took a bite of venison before speaking after a moment, not answering Cersei's question, "The immediate priority now is to retake Castle Rock, that's our foundation. ”

"Father, what about King's Landing?!" Cersei was stunned, "If the whole army is transferred to fight Castle Rock, then ......"

"Castle Rock is the foundation of our Lannisters. Tywin said solemnly, "As for King's Landing, if the two have to give up one, then give it up." ”

"No !!"

Hearing that she was going to abandon King's Landing, Cersei let out an exclamation. Her son is the king, she is the queen mother, and it is all built on King's Landing and the Iron Throne. If she discarded these, her position would cease to exist at all!

"Father was right. At this time, Jaime also nodded seriously, "King's Landing is only in the center of the continent, but it has no other advantages. If we abandon Kaiyan City and defend here, it will be easy for the whole army to be annihilated once it is besieged. But it's not the same with Castle Rock, where the terrain is active, and with a well-established port, our mobility is ......."

"No, no, no!" Cersei didn't listen to Jaime at all, shook her head and refused, "I can't give up King's Landing, this is my home, no ......"

"Click!"

Tywin slammed the cup to the ground, his eyes widened, and he yelled, "Then you'll die in this house!"

......Cersei was taken aback, she had never seen her father so angry, and this really showed that this war was really not optimistic.

"That's right!" Cersei suddenly thought of something at this time, and showed an eager smile, "Father, that Sansa of the Stark family is still in the palace, and we will use her to blackmail the wolf cubs and make them retreat!

“…… Sansa Stark?" Tywin was stunned for a moment, but forgot about it.

Tyrion, on the other hand, pouted, obviously not fully approving of this method of blackmailing people. However, he also knew that his words did not have any weight, so he remained silent at the moment.

"Father, I'm afraid...... The Starks aren't going to quit because of this, are they?" Jaime guessed, "Robb, that guy has a strong temperament, and I'm afraid he won't be easily coerced. ”

"Let's make a gesture first, whether it's useful or not. Tywin began, "Even if we can't get them back, at least we'll have to negotiate with them for a while." ”

With that, Tywin looked to the west, thought about it for a moment, and made a decision, "I've decided to hire the Golden Regiment to help us fight." ”

Golden Regiment?!

Several people were stunned, they had naturally heard of this powerful army, but what matched its strength was its high employment price.

"Father...... I would like to remind you. Tyrion interjected, "As the former Hand of Kings of King's Landing, I would say that there are not so many golden dragons available in the city now, and there is simply not enough to pay for hiring. ”

"Then go and collect it. Tywin said, "We borrow half from the Iron Vault, and then we give half ourselves." If it is not enough, go to the nobles and collect some. As he spoke, his face turned cold, "Now it's the most critical time, and if those nobles don't pay any more, they will cut it down." ”

"Cut down?" Cersei was shocked when she heard this, knowing that there were thousands of nobles in this city, and if one of them were cut, it would probably cause a powerful chain reaction.

"Hmph, these people should understand that if Ivy Crane enters the city in the future, then according to his practice, these nobles will not be able to keep all their money. Tywin sighed, "If I had followed his tough approach to the nobility earlier, maybe I wouldn't have ended up like this today." ”

Of course, Tywin is just saying that the Iron Throne system's attitude towards nobles has always been to support and rely on, and after a long time, the two sides have been inextricably linked, and it is not so simple to cut it off.

A very simple example is that the royal city guards, and even the imperial guards, etc., are basically from noble backgrounds, and if you let these soldiers from the nobility suppress their own homes, then they will not rebel?

This is different for Li Lingyi, his flagless family is based on civilians, and most of the soldiers are civilians, even if there are nobles, they are also kind nobles, so these people fight nobles mercilessly, and there is no psychological burden.

That's why the nobles were afraid of the Bannerless Family, and fled from the riverland to the south, because the political power and military power in the south were all held by the nobles, and even if the Iron Throne wanted to clean them up, there was nothing they could do.

So under this inextricable connection, the nobility and the royal power also put on a pair of pants and worked together to exploit and squeeze the lowest commoners, so as to feed these two insatiable fat men.

So now that life and death are at stake, Tywin is finally determined to get some money out of the nobles, in fact, he doesn't want to use force, just let them understand that the Lannisters can't lose. Once you lose, let Li Ling come over, it is not as simple as "getting some money", but the whole family will be copied for you.

So both Jaime and Tyrion agreed with the proposal, but Cersei hesitated, "Father, the money in the Iron Vault... We've borrowed a lot, if we borrow more......"

"Don't worry. Tywin interrupted, "As long as the rebels in the north are eliminated and the tax burden is restored, it will not be a problem to repay the debt." And if we can't be eliminated, then we will be wiped out, and then everyone will already be dead, so is there any need if we don't pay back?"

“……”

I have to say that Tywin's old hooligan style is indeed a tradition of the Lannisters, no matter what cunning and treacherous tricks are used, as long as they can win. And this attitude has indeed made the family prosperous for so many years, but this time, I don't know if it will work.

"That's fine. Cersei nodded in agreement at this point, "With the soldiers of the Golden Regiment, King's Landing will definitely be fine." ”
