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, Bai Qi, the god of killing, cheated Zhao Guo's 40 soldiers.

So, among the 40 Zhao people, how many nobles are there?

It is said that after the Battle of Changping, almost every family in Handan, from the public officials to the Li Shu, wore filial piety.

It can be seen that killing a god is killing a god, whether you are a noble or a commoner, it is very likely that you will fill in the pits.

But in Westeros, if Bai Qi dared to do this, his reputation would be worse than Chef Rat, and he might even be kicked down and buried by his younger brother as soon as he dug the pit.

The reason is very simple. Nobles lead the army and fight, and there are always winners and losers in wars. If you can kill other people's nobles today, others can kill your vassals.

There are only nine dukes and hundreds of earls in the Seven Kingdoms. They were killed here and there, and they were all killed after a few rounds.

The nobles and lords are all dead, so let the people rule the Seven Kingdoms?

In fact, if the Qin State did not have the 20-level military merit system, it is estimated that there would be no such thing as murdering generals.

Without the military merit system, low-level officers would have no way to be promoted. The generals who commanded the soldiers were all from noble families. If they won, they would still have this title. If they lost, they would still want to keep their original title and status. Therefore, the rules for redeeming prisoners of war were required.

This is back to the old ways of Westeros.

For example, Greatjon fights with Robb, wins or loses, and his son will not die. He is the Earl of Hearth City, and his title and territory will not change.

That being the case, why don't you be a gentleman?

In the era when the feudal lords went out in chariots in person, everyone was also very particular about etiquette on the battlefield, not to mention killing prisoners, even dangerous plots were not allowed.

Everyone fights against soldiers, generals against generals, and puts on a tough posture, orderly and orderly, which is the safest for noble generals.

If you want to engage in tactics, even if it is the simplest half-strike, if you get confused, who can tell whether you are a nobleman, a countryman, or a savage?

Therefore, although Aegon fell into the hands of Erlu, according to the tradition, he is safe and has a chance to be free.

Just like Dany, starting from the capture of Euron, and later in a series of wars, even the Lannister captured on Dragonstone Island was not killed, and his family was allowed to take money to redeem.

Those who are alive will be redeemed, and those who are dead will be returned for free.

It's just that Dany's asking price was too high in Dragonstone Island. Lannister didn't want to be taken advantage of, so he only redeemed the earl, and the rest stayed in Dragonstone Island to mine.

This time, with the support of Aunt Danni, Sansa decided that even if Erlu offered an unprecedented 100 million gold dragon, she would immediately redeem her husband.

——Based on the normal price, Jaime Lannister is only three to five hundred gold dragons, a maximum of one thousand.

Erlu didn't go against the tradition either. He first allowed Jon, as Sansa's representative, to go to the luxury cell transformed from a guest room, visit Aegon with a bandage on his leg, and then talk to Sansa about the ransom.

"Two legs were broken, but he was fine. He was still awake when I went, and he asked me to tell you—don't worry, don't hurt yourself."

Sansa heard the words, her eyes were red again, she wiped her tears and asked, "Is the leg injury serious?"

"It's a bit serious. The left leg is just a broken leg bone, but the right leg crushed the knee."

"Ah!" Sansa exclaimed, two strings of teardrops rolled down from her big eyes, leaving two wet spots on her plain white cheeks, she looked very pitiful.

Jon said softly, "Don't worry—"

Sansa covered her face and cried: "How can I not worry, my knees are broken, he is the bravest warrior in the Seven Kingdoms, should he be the same as Vilas?"

"Veras, who is it?" Jon was at a loss.

"Veras Tyrell, he broke his knee in a contest with Prince Oberyn of Dorne. Lady Olenna planned to arrange for Queen Sansa to marry Ser Vilas." Brienne said.

Well, Brienne is free, and Aunt May is not dead, so the murderer is naturally innocent.

Sansa glared at the ignorant white knight, "There's no need to explain it so clearly."

——I didn't expect Sansa to talk to so many boyfriends when she went to the south.

Jon thought oddly.

First love with Emperor Joe, crush on the Knight of Flowers (Jenny Poole said), had an affair with Vilas (Sansa herself is looking forward to marrying the lame Sir), married the little devil, and had sex with the heir Harry

Putting aside these distracting thoughts, Jon comforted her, "Aegon told you not to worry, he said his aunt said Daenerys could heal his wounds."

"That's right, today is different, there are seven gods, and Dany Daenerys is okay? How about going to King's Landing to invite the big-sparrow?"

"Let's redeem Aegon first!"

"I don't need money." Erlu directly refused.

Negotiations were held in the school grounds, and the officers and men of both sides could not hear the contents of the negotiations, but they could watch the progress of the negotiations.

Jon has lost most of his credibility with Erlu, he will no longer go to the main castle hall of Winterfell Castle, and Sansa is unwilling to take risks in Erlu's stone castle-even if the castle is her home.

But Jon is still the middleman.

Erlu and Sansa each brought a few knights and sat facing each other.

"What do you want? The Iron Throne?" Sansa sneered.

"Why not?" Erlu looked serious, "I am Robert's sole legal heir. According to the laws of the Seven Kingdoms, the Iron Throne belongs to me."

"You can tell Cersei this, I can't give you what we don't have." Sansa said lightly.

The corner of Erlu's mouth curled up into a very light and faint smile, "You have two armies, starting from the Valley and Storm's End respectively, [-] infantry and cavalry mainly from the Valley are approaching Duskendale City; Well, twenty-five thousand soldiers of the Stormlands even approached King's Landing.

I need command of those two armies, take King's Landing, you submit to me, and I let Aegon go. "

Jon was horrified, "You've already"

No, even he, the Lord of the Northern Territory, doesn't know these news, where did Erlu know?

He didn't even know about Aegon until he got in touch with Sansa.

Before Jon could ask questions, Sansa twisted her pretty face and shouted angrily: "Are you crazy about the Iron Throne? Let us help you build the Iron Throne and then surrender to you. How can there be such a good thing?"

"Your false king was captured by me, and this is my condition." Erlu said lightly.

Royce pointed at Erlu and said angrily, "He even knows the latest movement of our army. He must have planned it long ago. Or, the conflict that day was his trick! We fell for it!"

Erlu's eyes turned cold, and he said sarcastically, "When you were plotting against me, you should have the awareness to end up today."

Sansa's pupils contracted, they planned his affairs, he already knew?And do the trick, capture Aegon, and pick his peaches?

Who revealed the news?

Sansa had a strong urge to cast suspicious glances at those closest to her, even Jon, but she knew she couldn't do that.

She resisted the impulse and buried her doubts in her heart.

"Tell me, what happens after you take down the Iron Throne?" She asked softly with a hint of sarcasm on the corner of her mouth.

Erlu seemed to have made up his mind a long time ago, without any hesitation, he said in a flat tone: "Aegon confuses blood, there is no place for him in the Seven Kingdoms, he must swear to leave Westeros forever."

"Stannis, you are going too far." Lord Meggie shouted angrily, clenched his fists.

A vein popped up on Sansa's forehead, and the anger and resentment on her face were barely concealed.

Jon looked around, hesitated to speak.

Onion Knight frowned, leaned close to Erlu's ear, and whispered persuasion: "Your Majesty, perhaps Littlefinger of Storm's End can be killed, and Harrenhal can be canonized to him."

Erlu thought carefully about the suggestion of the Hand of the King, and recalled the terms of surrender offered to him by the little devil that day. It seemed that he was really more tolerant than himself?

"I canonized Aegon as the Duke of Harrenhal, but he must be exiled, and his eldest son can return to the Seven Kingdoms to inherit the title and fief."

Seeing Erlu's reluctant expression, Sansa's tense body suddenly relaxed, and she asked with a smile, "How do you plan to deal with Dragonstone Island?"

Erlu's eyes became sharp, and he said coldly, "This has nothing to do with today's topic."

Dragonstone Island is occupied by Dany, but in the Baratheon dynasty, Erlu is the orthodox Duke of Dragonstone Island.

The smile on Sansa's face became more sincere, and she asked again: "Dorne, the Valley, the River, and the Stormland, what are your plans?

This is not related to me, if you don't speak clearly, all the princes of the True Dragon Alliance will work for you? "

The bite muscles on both sides of Erlu's jaw bulged a few times, and he said in a deep voice, "I exercise the power of the king according to law, and their rights and obligations will also be protected by law."

"Okay, I agree." Sansa nodded.

"Ah?" The people around, including Erlu himself, were shocked.

Sansa nodded again and confirmed: "Yes, I agree with your conditions. On behalf of my husband, I promise to hand over the military command of the True Dragon Alliance to Stannis. After Aegon is free, the two of us voluntary exile,

"Her Royal Highness?"

Mormont, Gelbert, Royce and the others turned pale with shock and couldn't believe it.

"Sansa, you" Jon's eyes were full of worry, "you can go back and rest for a day, the negotiation cannot be completed in a day."

"No need," Sansa said sternly, looking back at the confidants around her, "The foundation of the true dragon alliance lies in Aegon, if he does not agree to the other party's conditions, he will not be free, and the alliance will naturally disintegrate.

So, I'm sorry, I have let down the love of the princes, but we have no choice! "

"It's unreasonable. The whole king was redeemed before the king was captured." Sir Royce blushed and yelled at Erlu.

Davos looked at the lord worriedly, his lips twitched, "Your Majesty"

He uttered a word, but couldn't speak any more.

What can he say?

——Exchanging the king for the kingdom is too absurd, the hearts of the people are dissatisfied, and the subjects are resentful, so stop dreaming!

Can you say that?

"Does Aegon have a kingdom?" Erlu glanced at the knights facing him, and asked through gritted teeth, "Isn't Storm's End owned by Baratheon? Or is he sitting on the Iron Throne now?

What kind of king is he with a loose alliance?

From the time I captured him, the so-called 'True Dragon Alliance' was destined to be completely eliminated.

As for the lords of the alliance, you have raised the banner of righteousness against Lannister, and now you have only two choices: retreat and wait for the Iron Throne to be liquidated one by one; or join me and continue the unfinished crusade. "

"No matter how shallow your Majesty Aegon is, with our support, he is a hundred times stronger than you; Lannister is certainly hateful, but if there are really only two options left, we would rather choose Cersei!" Sir Royce couldn't bear it Stay on the road.
