Chapter 680
In ancient and modern China and abroad, there are rules not to kill prisoners.
It's just that not all generals follow this rule.
For example, Killing God Bai Qi pitted Zhao State of 400,000 soldiers.
So, how many nobles are there among the 400,000 Zhao State people?
It is said that after the Battle of Changping, Handan went up to Gongqing, down to Li Shu, almost every family was a virgin, and everyone wore filial piety.
It can be seen that killing gods is killing gods. No matter whether you are a noble or a commoner, it is very likely that you will all fill the hole.
But in Westeros, if Bai Qi dares to do this, his reputation will be worse than that of Rat Cook, and he may even be kicked down and buried by his little brother just after digging the hole.
The reason is very simple, the nobles who command the army are the nobles, and there is always a win in a battle. If you can kill other people's nobles today, others can kill your bannermen.
Seven Kingdoms also has nine Dukes and hundreds of Earls, killing them and killing them in a few rounds.
The nobles are dead, so let the hoi polloi rule the Seven Kingdoms?
Actually, if Qin Country does not have the Level 20 military merit system, it is estimated that there will not be a case of killing generals.
Without the military knighthood system, there is no way for low-level officers to be promoted. The generals of the Commander soldiers are all from the great nobles. If they win, they will also have this knighthood. If they lose, they want to keep their original knighthood and status. Requires rules for redemption of prisoners of war.
This is back to the old ways of Westeros.
For example, Greatjon fights with Robb, wins and loses, his son is not dead, he is all Hearth Earl, and the title and territory will not change.
In this case, why not be gentlemen?
In the era when the princes were still carrying war chariots in person, everyone was very particular about the etiquette on the battlefield, not to mention killing prisoners, even dangerous crafty plots and machinations were not allowed.
Everyone selliers against soldiers, generals against generals, put on a hard anal posture, be organized and rhythmically orderly, which is the safest for noble generals.
If you want to engage in tactics, even if it is the simplest half-pass attack, and confusion arises, who can tell whether you are a noble, a Chinese, or a Wildlings?
So, Aegon is in Second Stag's hands, but by tradition, he is safe and has a chance to be free.
Like Dany, from the capture of Euron, to a series of wars... Even Lannister, who was caught in Dragonstone, was not killed, and his family was allowed to take money to redeem.
The living redeemer, the dead return the body for free.
It's just that Dragonstone's asking price for Dany was too high. Lannister didn't want to be taken advantage of, so he just redeemed Earl and left the rest to mine at Dragonstone.
This time, with the support of Dany aunt, Sansa decided that even if Second Stag sold an unprecedented one million Golden Dragon, she would immediately redeem her husband.
——At the normal price, Jaime Lannister is also three or five hundred Golden Dragon, up to one thousand.
Second Stag didn't go against tradition, he first allowed Jon to act as Sansa's representative, go to the luxury cell transformed into a guest room, visit Aegon with a bandage on his leg, and then talk to Sansa about the ransom.
"Both legs were crushed, but he was fine. He was still awake when I went, and he told me to tell you - don't worry, don't hurt yourself."
Sansa hearing this, her eyes were red again, and she wiped her tears and asked, "Is the leg injury serious?"
"It's a bit serious. The left leg just broke the leg bone, but the right leg crushed the knee."
"Ah!" Sansa exclaimed, two tears rolled from her big eyes, leaving two wet marks on her plain white cheeks, looking very pitiful.
Jon said softly: "Don't worry—"
Sansa covered his face and cried: "How can I not worry, my knees are broken, he is the most heroic Seven Kingdoms Warrior, do you want to be the same as Willas?"
"Who is Willas?" Jon was at a loss.
“Willas Tyrell, broke his knee while fighting Dorne Prince Oberyn. Lady Olenna was planning to arrange Queen Sansa to marry Ser Willas,” Brienne said.
Well, Brienne is free, Aunt Mel is not dead, the murderer is naturally innocent.
Sansa glared at White Cloak, who didn't know anything, "It doesn't need to be explained so clearly."
——I didn't expect Sansa to go to the south and talk about so many boyfriends .
Jon thought oddly.
First love with Great Emperor Jof, secret crush on Knight of the Flowers (says by Jeyne Poole), rumored to have an affair with Willas (Sansa herself is looking forward to marrying cripple Ser), married Imp, and had an affair with Willas. The heir, Harry, has dealt with someone...
Abandoning these distracting thoughts, Jon comforted her: "Aegon let you not worry, he said he aunt... said Daenerys can be cured His injury."
"Yeah, it's different now, there's The Seven, there's Dany...Daenerys, okay? Why don't you go to King's Landing for High Sparrow?"
"Redeem Aegon first!"
...
"I don't need the money." Second Stag refused directly.
The negotiation takes place in the school grounds. In the public, the soldiers on both sides cannot hear the content of the negotiation, but they can keep an eye on the negotiation process.
Jon has lost most of his credibility with Second Stag, he won't go to Winterfell's main castle hall again, and Sansa won't venture to Second Stag's stone castle - even if the castle is her home.
But Jon is still the middleman.
Second Stag and Sansa each took a few Knights and sat facing each other.
"What do you want? Iron Throne?" Sansa scoffed.
"Why not?" Second Stag looked serious, "I am Robert's sole legal heir, and under the laws of Seven Kingdoms, Iron Throne belongs to me."
"These words You say go to Cersei, I'm impossible to give you what we don't have." Sansa indifferently said.
The corner of Second Stag's mouth evoked a very light and light smile, "You have two armies, one from Vale and one from Storm's End set off, 20,000 mixed with Vale-dominated foot-riders, and they are approaching Duskendale. 25,000 soldiers from Golden Company, Dorne, Stormlands even approaching King's Landing.
I need command of those two armies, take King's Landing, you acknowledge allegiance to me, I release Aegon ."
Jon was horrified, "You've already..."
No, even he, the Lord of the North, doesn't know this information, where did Second Stag come from knew?
He didn't even know Aegon until he got in touch with Sansa.
Not waiting for Jon to ask questions, Sansa twisted pretty face and shouted angrily: "Are you going crazy with Iron Throne? Let us fight Iron Throne for you, and then acknowledge allegiance to you, How can there be such a good thing?"
"Your false king is captured by me, and this is my condition." Second Stag indifferently said.
Royce pointed to the Second Stag, surprised and angry: "He knows the latest movement of our army, he must have planned it. Or, the conflict that day was his plan! Among us It's a plan!"
Second Stag's eyes turned cold, and he said sarcastically: "When you were planning for me, you should have the consciousness to end up today."
Sansa pupil shrink, they Planning his business, he already knew? And beating somebody at their own game, capturing Aegon, and picking his peaches?
Who revealed the news?
Sansa has a strong urge to glance suspiciously at people around her, even Jon, but she knows oneself can't do that.
She resisted the urge and buried her doubts in her heart.
"Tell me, after you take down the Iron Throne?" she asked lightly, with a faint sneer on the corner of her mouth.
Second Stag seemed to have made up his mind, without any hesitation, and said in a flat tone: "Aegon confuses bloodline, Seven Kingdoms has no place for him, and he must swear to leave Westeros forever."
Second Stag seemed to have made up his mind. p>
"Stannis, you're going too far." Earl Maege clenched his fists angrily.
Sansa has a blue vein on her forehead, barely concealing the anger and resentment on her face.
Jon looked around, hesitating.
Onion Knight frowned, leaned close to Second Stag's ear, and whispered persuaded: "Your Majesty, maybe Storm's End...Littlefinger is dead, and Harrenhal can be canonized to him."
Second Stag seriously pondered Hand of the King's suggestion, and recalled the surrender condition that Imp gave him that day, seems to be more tolerant than oneself?
"I canonized Aegon as Duke of Harrenhal, but he must be exiled. His elder son can return to the Seven Kingdoms and inherit the title and Fiefdom."
Looking at Second Stag's reluctance Sansa's tense body suddenly relaxed and asked with a smile: "What are you going to do with Dragonstone?"
Second Stag's eyes became sharp, coldly said: "This has nothing to do with today's issue."
Dragonstone is occupied by Dany, but in Baratheon Dynasty, Second Stag is the true Duke of Dragonstone.
The smile on Sansa's face became a little more sincere, and then asked: "Dorne, Vale, Riverlands, Stormlands, what are your plans?
It's nothing to do with me, If you don't speak clearly, the princes of the True Dragon Alliance will work for you?"
Second Stag twitched the masseter muscles on both sides of his chin, said solemnly: "I exercise King's power according to the law, they His rights and rights will also be protected by law."
"Okay, I agree." Sansa obliged.
"Huh?" The people around him, including Second Stag himself, were shocked.
Sansa nodded again, confirming: "Yes, I agree to your terms, I promise on behalf of my husband to hand over the military command of the True Dragon Alliance to Stannis, and after Aegon is free, we will Husband and wife exiled voluntarily,"
"Her Royal Highness?"
Mormont, Galbart, Royce and the others turned pale in fright, incredible.
"Sansa, you..." Jon's eyes were full of worry, "You can go back and rest for a day, negotiation can't be done in a day."
"No," Sansa turned around and glanced at the confidants around him, said resolutely, "The foundation of the True Dragon Alliance lies in Aegon. If he doesn't agree to the other party's conditions, he will not be free, and the alliance will naturally disintegrate. So, I'm sorry, To live up to the love of the princes, but we have no choice!"
"This is unreasonable, the entire King was never captured to redeem it." Royce Ser blushed and shouted at Second Stag .
Davos gave Lord a worried look, his lips twitching, "Your Majesty..."
He spit out a word, but couldn't go on.
What can he say?
——It is absurd to exchange a King for a kingdom. People are dissatisfied and the subjects are resentful. Don't dream!
Can you say this?
"Does Aegon have a kingdom?" Second Stag glanced at the Knights across from him and asked through gritted teeth, "Isn't Storm's End Baratheon's? Or is he sitting on Iron Throne now?
He only has one loosely-based alliance, what kind of King?
Since I captured him, the so-called 'True Dragon Alliance' was doomed to be completely eliminated.
As for the alliance The princes, you have raised the banner of righteousness against the Lannister, and now there are only two choices, retreat and wait for Iron Throne to settle one by one; or, join me and continue the unfinished crusade."
"Aegon Your Majesty No matter how shallow the foundation is, with our support, it is a hundred times stronger than you; Lannister is hateful, but if there are only two options left for you and Cersei, we would rather choose Cersei!" Royce Ser couldn't help saying.
