"First of all, all of the following plans are based on the fact that you, Father, have a way to get Robert 'out'. ”

Tyrion said confidently, vaguely feeling that something was strange - a year ago, he would never have imagined that he would one day discuss the murder of kings with others in such a relaxed tone. The brain always gets smarter and smarter, and managing such a behemoth as the Night's Watch industry not only exercises his abilities and mind, but also has a huge impact on his temperament and way of thinking. The so-called king, in Tyrion's eyes, is now nothing more than a higher level of aristocrats than the duke. For the Lannisters to survive, Robert must die.

"Before we start planning, we have to leave a way out for ourselves – to be prepared to flee across the Narrow Sea. ”

"There is a ship in Lanniport Harbor, you said to prepare, is it not that the battle has not yet begun, let's load the property on the ship first? Tywin snorted and said disapprovingly, "If the plan doesn't go well, you can run away at any time, that's my promise." ”

"I believe in your father. Now that we have a way back, it's time to set a strategic goal - it's clear that it's impossible to win, and all we have to do is think about delaying time until our people in the Red Keep succeed in getting rid of the king and King's Landing happens. There was a map on the table, but Tyrion couldn't point to it with short hands and short feet, so he could only climb to the chair by stepping on the leg link between the legs of the chair, and others sat on him but stood, barely enough: "The time on the ultimatum is ten days, nominally it is time for us to consider, but in fact it is giving the six countries room to react, the counterinsurgency in the valley has just ended, and the army will not be too slow to gather again, leaving us not much time." The first question we have to consider now is who to target if we want to be proactive, and how to do it. ”

"The Hejian River Bend, which is close to the west, is an important granary of the Seven Kingdoms, and any place they rush into to sabotage can disrupt their assembly and logistics. Kevon frowned and said, "If you really want to choose one, it must be the river...... Although there are some places in the river bay where the crops can even be harvested three times a year, and the abundance of grain and grass is far greater than that of the river, their strength is too strong, and if they take the initiative to provoke, they are afraid of setting themselves on fire, but they will die faster. ”

......

"Uncle is very thoughtful, and the riverbend must not be touched. Tyrion stood in his chair and leaned over the map to point to Cymtree Beach, the easternmost part of the Riverlands: "Robert made this mistake when he started to build the Targaryen family, he could have gone north to attack King's Landing or join his allies, but he had to lead his troops westward and run to the Tyrells' territory to play a powerful ...... Thinking of a big victory, so that the royalist army of the Riverbend would not dare to march east to attack Storm's End. As a result, not only did he not achieve his goal, but he was also directly defeated by Rand Tully with only a striker, and even his life was almost given away, which became a joke for a while. ”

It was a joke indeed, but Robert had won in the end, and even now he was coming to deal with the Lannisters, and no one could laugh at the thought of this, and only let the dwarf continue to speak.

"The Riverlands is an interesting place, with the largest area of the Seven Kingdoms in terms of size, resources, resources, and number of troops, and is the uncrowned king of Westeros. Aegon Targaryen may have seen this, and deliberately used an almost humiliating way to make the butler of the exterminated Riverbend King the new Duke of the High Court, so that there would be checks and balances within the Riverlands...... This trick is really sophisticated and vicious, and the nobles of the river, who consider themselves to be from the 'green hand' bloodline, are not convinced by the Tyrell family's superiority at all, and have formed many factions in tandem with each other, and they are very disrespectful to the feudal monarch Yang and Fengyin - this has caused the Tyrell family to hold several times the paper data of my western realm, and in terms of overall strength, we have been overpowered. The conference hall of Castle Rock City became a stage for Tyrion alone, and he analyzed to himself, "But the descendants of the Riverbend King have one thing in common, and that is that they are surprisingly xenophobic - they can fight with each other as they want, and outsiders can't mix with each other." Every time an outsider from a non-bend tries to intervene, they immediately unite to the outside world. Don't touch them...... At most, a Tyrell family took the initiative to send troops and money for the upcoming queen's position, but as soon as they touched them, they instantly offended the entire Riverbend. The nobles of the Riverbend Territory twisted into a rope are quite terrifying forces...... At that time, even if the other five countries only watch the play, they alone will be enough for us to drink a pot. ”

"This is not the case in the Riverlands, where all the families, including Tully, are mediocre, with no strong armies or heroes to convince the public, just because the Duke of Horst has found good relatives for his two daughters, and his vassals are obedient. The only thorny Frey family, not long ago, got Robb Stark, a worthy son-in-law, and now he will never go against the feudal monarch and his own in-laws...... This means that no matter whether we strike first or not, the forces of the Riverlands will work very hard in the next siege of the western border, and instead of waiting for them to gather to increase the threat to us, it is better to strike first, which will not only add trouble to the logistics when the northern army arrives, but also weaken the strength of the three alliances of wolves and fish eagles, paving the way for the next plan. ”

Hit the Riverlands first, a strategy that was in line with Tywin's plan, and he nodded, motioning for Tyrion to continue.

......

"In the river, we have to be clear about what we want...... There is no shortage of resources here in the West, we only need troops and time. To take the initiative is not to attack cities, but to 'engage in sabotage'. Tyrion said, "Send only the elite and swift cavalry, and annihilate the small riverland army, while the main force is to avoid them and not fight them head-on, and at the same time burn as many ripe crops and grain warehouses as possible, but kill as few people as possible...... Especially women and children. When the Vale and Northern armies arrived, they would be confronted with a scorched and devastated riverland with countless mouths waiting to be fed, and they would not only be unable to get supplies on the spot, but would also have to find food to feed the civilians of their allies. This can delay a lot of time!"

Cersei frowned impatiently at the sight of him being like a parent in the limelight at the family's highest internal meeting. In contrast, Jaime next to her was surprised, he had heard rumors of Tyrion's cleverness, but rarely really realized this, he was shocked when he heard that he was going to take the initiative, and when his brother finished talking about the plan, he found that it sounded quite like it!

......

Tywin nodded indifferently, "Well thought out, and?"

Tyrion stared at his father and curled the corners of his mouth: "This time to prepare for war, mercenaries are not as easy to find as before." ”

"In the past, there was news of a recruitment from the Lannisters, and wandering samurai and freeriders from all over the Seven Kingdoms flocked to it, but this time, ...... In the face of a war that no one is optimistic about, even if the commitment commission is raised, only half of the people who came in the past. Kai Feng shook his head helplessly: "When the war starts, the main force in our hands that can be mobilized at will is likely to be the only army of our own family with the Lanniport Guard and Reserve as the core, plus thousands of hired foreign aid, even if we immediately start to gather the peasants to train the new army, it will be too late in time...... The encounters and the first few were easy to fight, but with the main players of the Six Nations coming in, we would soon be at a loss to fight back. ”

"The Forces nouvelles have to be trained, but it's best not to count on them in this war. When the army of the Six Nations breaks through the area around Golden Tooth City and the Yangji Hall, Robert is not dead, we can directly get on the ship and run away, and no amount of freshly trained troops will be able to save us. Tyrion said categorically, "We have to drag on these two lines of defense for as long as possible, and in addition to defending, we have to harass." Send the Speakers to the free trade city-states of the Stonesteps and Essos to hire pirates and mercenary bands...... They may not be willing to come west to confront the armies of the Six Nations, but it is still possible for them to burn, loot and harass the eastern coastline of Westeros in the rear. ”

Tyrion leaned over and swiped his finger across the Westeros side of the Narrow Sea from north to south, from the last Hearthside along the northern coastline to the Three Sisters in the Vale, then to Seagulltown, Dragonstone, and on to the Stormlands, and upon reaching Dorne, circled the southernmost tip of Westeros, passing the old town and the Shield Islands on the west coast: "From north to south, our mercenaries and pirates will harass and raid all the families and castles of the North, the Vale, the Lordship, and Dorne near the coastline...... Don't touch the bend land first, it's dangerous if it's too far. How much money is in the vault, let's take it all out this time, and keep it to accompany us into the coffin. We will wage the largest war of mercenaries and pirates ever at any cost, thousands of bandits and mercenaries will come ashore from every beach they can land on in the Seven Kingdoms, they may not be able to capture any castle or fortress, but their very existence is the greatest deterrent and trouble for our enemies. ”

Tyrion paused for a moment, looked at the reactions of the other four people at the table, and added, "Moreover, we will never admit that these pirates and mercenaries were brought in by us." ”

You can guess the mastermind behind the scenes with your ass, what's the use of not admitting it?Kaivon had a cold war, for the first time in his life, he was scared by his dwarf nephew, and he hadn't seen him for more than a year, what happened to Tyrion that made him such a ruthless character?

"Once this plan comes out, there is really no turning back. The second-in-command of the Lannisters wiped his sweat and looked at his brother worriedly, thinking that it would be better to send Jaime and Cersei out to be beheaded: "Tywin, I think this plan is ...... Somewhat...... It's too risky. ”

＊＊＊

Tywin looked and looked at the "country" curve that Tyrion had drawn on the map, his face becoming more and more gloomy.

The world thinks he's ruthless, eloquent, and calculating, but that's just a tough cloak Tywin puts on for himself. He knew very well that he was not as omnipotent as the outside world thought. Tywin was flustered, nervous, and wanted to give in to the unprecedented crisis...... But as a parent, he can't show it - and a dead face that never smiles is the best cover.

Looking back on his life, he represented the Lannister family in the Battle of the Nine Bronze Kings before he was twenty years old, and he gained a lot of experience and military exploits in this war by relying on talented friends, loyal guards, and excellent mercenaries hired by scattered wealth...... Back in the West, after the baptism of war, he wiped out the disrespectful Reyes and Tabek families with great vigour, and with the song of "The Rainy Season of Casterme", he was the only one left in the world to know that he had no intention of slaughtering his vassals at the beginning of the war.

It was difficult to jump off the lion and get out of it, so he didn't stop doing it, and simply played the role of an extremely powerful and ruthless Duke of Kaiyan City according to everyone's impression, and was named the Hand of the King a year later by virtue of his war experience and the prestige accumulated by reorganizing the West.

As a young man, he did not have the ability to govern the Seven Kingdoms, but by humbly following the advice of his aides and advisers, he soon became a qualified prime minister...... When the Seven Kingdoms became stable and prosperous during his tenure, labels such as "strong", "proud" and "cruel" followed, and it was difficult to get rid of them.

In keeping with the labels that others have placed on him, and in order to maintain authority and deterrence, the cold and hard shell has followed Tywin all his life, but in the deepest part of his heart, a flame has always burned: witnessing the humiliation brought to the family by his father's mediocrity and weakness, Tywin has an almost pathological pursuit of family honor and prestige - he can't imagine himself accepting the Iron Throne ultimatum to send Jaime and Cersei away, "Tywin who has lost his pride", "the Lannisters who have been mocked and despised by the whole of the Seven Kingdoms", and he might as well disappear!

Tywin's face remained unchanged at all, but he secretly gritted his teeth: "We can still get less than one million gold dragons at most, and half of it will be needed to prepare for the war, and half a hundred thousand gold dragons will be enough to launch what you call the largest harassment war?"

"It's obviously not enough, a million gold dragons may not do, but we can first use a tempting enough deposit to trick those pirates and mercenaries into making the first move, as for the needs of the internal war, if you can fight white, you can't do it...... I have some other way to raise it. Tyrion climbed down from his chair and sat down again, "There's a Night's Watch from Sunset Hercy who taught me how to play money. After a few months of practicing King's Landing, I think I've mastered the basics...... As long as you give your father's orders, I will open the first bank in Westeros, and we have the reputation of 'paying debts', and we are the easiest people in the world to play this game, and I have a name in mind, it will be called Lannister Bank. ”

Tywin never had the idea of opening a bank, but he didn't know anything about it, and he couldn't find the relevant talents, so he didn't do it so far...... Tyrion suddenly said he would?

"If my father has any doubts, we can talk at night and talk about this game of money. Tyrion recognized Tywin's concern, "An attack on the Riverlands will give us a few days, and harassment from behind enemy lines by pirates and mercenaries will also affect the speed and morale of the armies of the Six Nations, and it is especially unknown how many days the Golden Fang Fortress and the Rooster Hall will hold out...... But no matter how much it drags on, it will come back in the end, and what ultimately determines the survival of the Lannister family is the success of the assassination of Robert...... and our countermeasures after his death. ”

Kevon looked at his brother suspiciously, he had always been Tywin's loyal support, supporting any of his ideas, but this time he finally wavered a little: "Tywin, you said before that the two brothers Stannis and Lanli would fight each other for the throne after Robert died, and I doubt that with Duke Stark sitting on the Iron Throne, Lanli would have the guts?"

"He doesn't have the guts, so I'll give him the guts. Tywin said expressionlessly, "As soon as Robert dies, I will go directly to negotiate with Blue Rite with the same etiquette as I would for the king, swear allegiance to him and ask him for permission to clothe Jaime in black to avoid death." Then tell him that I will do everything in my power to keep the North, the Riverlands, and the Vales at bay from the armies under Eddard Stark's command, and create a chance for him to fight for the throne. ”

Jaime secretly clenched his fists, and his heart was filled with shame: the once proud and powerful Lannister, only because of his momentary confusion with Cersei, had now been reduced to such a situation - gambling everything, even if he won by luck, he would only gain the power to be clothed in black and banished to the north of the north. What an irony!

Kaivon frowned, "No matter how Robert dies, this will be credited to Jaime...... That is, the head of the Lannister family, Lan Li will never ignore the eyes of the people of the Seven Kingdoms and cooperate with the family of the monarch killer to compete for the throne of his brother. ”

"Legitimate concern, but simple to deal with. Tyrion smiled and said to his uncle, "Father just needs to tell Lan Li explicitly: whether he agrees or not, we Lannisters will do our best to contain wolves, fish, and eagles...... The army of the Stark line. With the Vale and the Riverlands weakened by the war, and the northern army held back by us, if Lan Li, who has many friends in the royal domain, is not interested in the Iron Throne, then I have to wonder if he is a man. ”

The plan was decided, and Tywin sat in his high seat, mentally sorting out the overlaps and differences between his original plan and Tyrion's suggestion...... The Lannisters seem to have found the perfect way to break the game, and the last problem that needs to be solved now is, what kind of price and conditions can be used to get the timid Paisher and the few squires in the Red Keep to agree to assassinate Robert?

"There's one more thing that's interesting to think about. Tyrion's face flushed, and a voice in his heart cheered desperately: After all these years, I finally have the opportunity to do something for the family and prove myself to my father!" ”
