Chapter 125

In Riverrun, in the central square, a play is being performed.

"I saw the Magic Mountain galloping wildly, rushing towards the young man and woman, and was about to trample them under the horse's hooves, but at this moment, the Magic Mountain suddenly stopped, and even almost fell off the horse himself, because he saw who the man was."

"Who is it?" The audience below is very face-saving.

"Of course, we are the most loyal and brave Sword Saint in the world. Speaking of the grievances between the Wind Sword Saint and the Demon Mountain, we have to start with the tournament in King's Landing......"

In the audience, a team of young men and women were quietly listening.

"The play has to be performed at least three times a day, but in the past month, the audience has not only decreased, but also increased. You are really welcome. ”

"Hehe, if I were really popular, I wouldn't be standing here without anyone knowing. They just love the legends. Does anyone know, what's behind those legends? No one will care. ”

As the two were talking, the repertoire on the stage had developed into a bloody battle in the mountains and forests.

The young girl's face turned red and she pulled the man away.

Of course, these two people are Su Yuan, who has successfully returned to Riverrun, and Sasan. In fact, when he was hunted down and killed in the mountains and forests, Su Yuan noticed a problem. For three days in a row, only the Blood Opera Troupe was tracking them. There was not the slightest movement from the Lannisters or the High Court's troops. At that time, Su Yuan knew that there was only one reason. That is, the Lannisters are already passive on the frontal battlefield.

Look at the original book, Tywin divided Stark, provoked the Bolton family to betray the Frey family, provoked the Iron Isles to backstab, and joined forces with the High Court. It was this series of actions that allowed the Lannisters to escape the fate of being besieged and thus become the final winner. But this time it was different. There is more Su Yuan, an open traverser.

Su Yuan settled the problem of the Iron Islands in advance, not only did not stab Stark in the back, but also relied on the sharpness of the navy to continue to raid the ports in the west. Almost all maritime transport to the western frontier was blocked. Tywin had to stay behind with a large number of soldiers in case of an attack on Castle Rock.

And then there's the Freys. Perhaps because of the butterfly effect, Rob didn't meet Jenny this time. Although Old Frey's character is average, to be honest, even in the original book, he really didn't mean to betray at the beginning.

Old Frey had always had a pain in his heart. That is, their family's background is too low. The Frey family name is only a few hundred years old. Although relying on the shipping of the twin rivers, he made a lot of Jinlong. But old Frey was always ridiculed as a dirt bun with no background. This made him feel deeply resentful, but the bloodline thing was not something he could change. That's why he made that request, he hoped that the eldest son of the Stark family would be able to marry his daughter. In this way, the offspring born will have the oldest and most noble bloodline on this continent.

This kind of request is perfectly acceptable to Ned. He was still alive, and even if Rob had any opinions, he didn't dare to raise them. So the marriage was successful, and Stark not only successfully passed through the Twin Cities, but also received the assistance of thousands of Frey knights.

And although the Lannister teamed up with the High Court, they had money and food. But South Dorn was on the lookout, and Stannis was on the east side of the city. To the north, Stark and Tully were defeated one after another. With Duke Tywin's military standards, he is really powerless. (The ranking of the Seven Kingdoms is Sir Barristan, and Tywin is either second or third, but in the Battle of the Five Kings, he has not won a single battle in all frontal battles...... ）

Things on the battlefield are complicated and complicated, and if they are not complicated, they are just like that. If you can't beat it, you can't beat it. Tywin mobilizes a large number of men and returns to Stannis. Defeat Stannis with all his might and save King's Landing. But Stannis's loss is far from what he did in the original book.

Because Su Yuan and the others destroyed all the wildfires before evacuating King's Landing, and by the way, they kidnapped all the fire warlocks. King's Landing didn't have the big killer, but barely managed to repel Stannis. Tywin's return defense caused the battlefield authority to collapse on the back. The soldiers of House Stark came directly to the city and joined Stannis.

Ned Stark, Edmuel Tully, and Stannis Baratheon have a meeting. Su Yuan was also invited to participate. In fact, according to Su Yuan's meaning, Stark is currently the strongest. The Iron Throne is not impossible to sit on. But he knew Ned's temper, and as Stannis's current legitimate heir, he would never rob him.

However, Su Yuan's previous accumulated favorability still played a little role. At least Ned knows how to ask for an advantage at the negotiating table. Vale didn't go to war, and Lannister and High Court were undoubtedly the losers. So, Baratheon, Stark, and Tully are the winners. According to the post-war negotiations in Su Yuan's memory, there is no doubt that the winners will divide the losers.

After holding out for more than half a month, the Lannisters surrendered. Despite Tywin's scheming, any intrigue is pointless in the face of the general situation. He was powerless and could only choose to surrender.

The surrender of the Lannisters meant that Stark could write history as a victor. First of all, Ned Stark is undoubtedly no longer the murderer of the King. Of course, the murderer is not Cersei. Again, under normal circumstances, a nobleman of this level would not easily bear this kind of reputation. The murderer was Lancer, the king's sommelier. Because peeking at the queen's beauty dealt a dead hand to the king.

At the same time, the affair between Cersei and Jaime will never be spread. But as a price to cover up the above two points, the Lannisters need to pay a huge amount of gold as compensation after the war.

According to Su Yuan's proposal, Ned directly proposed a compensation of 10 million Jinlong. Truth be told, this number scared Ned himself. When he said the number, Duke Tywin looked at him for ten seconds as if he were first acquaintance with him. And only then do you start haggling. Then Ned realized that the figure of 10 million Jinlong did not make Tywin lift the table, but was within the scope of bargaining.

Su Yuan knew that the Lannister family's gold mines were actually on the verge of depletion. And in order to maintain a large army, Tywin probably won't be able to come up with that much cash. Therefore, the result of bargaining is to use food, weapons and equipment to pay off debts. Don't forget, Su Yuan knows that winter is coming. The Stranger is already preparing beyond the Wall. Strategic reserves are more important than Jinlong.

Tywin knew that if he lost all the equipment in his army, he would be a lamb to the slaughter. Therefore, the final result of desperate bargaining was that almost every peasant and minor nobleman's grain reserve was emptied of the western frontier before the compensation was collected. Six million gold long, plus food resources to make up.

Tywin Lannister's reputation has plummeted in the West. The High Court is also required to pay compensation. The House of Tyrells has come to be rich in civilization. Especially the grain reserves, it is said that their family is able to supply the entire Seven Kingdoms. The result is naturally a desperate need for food. According to Su Yuan's wishes, Ned converted all the compensation into grain. There are enough of them to consume the entire North for three to five years.

At this point, the two richest families in the Seven Kingdoms suffered a great loss of vitality. The order of the entire Seven Kingdoms can be said to have been completely reshuffled.
