250 Causes of War
Oberon could not be a good-tempered person with a nickname like Red Viper. His sister Elia was even more of a reverse scale. However, the young black-haired man in front of him was always full of mystery and his methods were incomprehensible.
Even if he was angry, Oberon did not show it. Instead, he smiled and said without a smile after hearing this: "Donn did not form an alliance with Targaryen. Lord Renly, don't slander us casually."
"Your sister died because of that war, so let's talk about the cause of the war first."
Lan Li ignored the other party's quibbling and sat behind the desk and said to himself: "Prince Rega, the former dynasty, fell in love with the youngest daughter of the previous generation of Stark Duke, Lyanna, at the martial arts competition. Soon after, he took people to kidnap the Stark family's wolf girl and disappeared. Brandon, the heir of the Stark family at the time, was angry that his sister was kidnapped and joined his companions to go to King Landing and the Crazy King on the Iron Throne to ask for people. As a result, those of them were detained by the Crazy King. The fathers of several detainees, including the old duke in the North, were called to King Landing by the Crazy King, and then burned to death. Brandon and his gang were also killed."
"It was the Stark's bitch who seduced Rega." Oberon retorted.
"What does this matter?" Lan Li smiled: "One is willing to fight and the other is willing to be beaten. No matter what the fact is, it is always true that your sister is disliked by Rega and thrown aside."
Oberon didn't say anything, but his face turned gloomy.
Seeing this, Lan Li continued, "After burning the Duke of North, the heir of the Duke, the heir of the Valley, and many other families of all sizes, the Crazy King ordered the Duke of Valley Jon Ailin to cut off his two adopted sons and present them to the Iron Throne. One of these two adopted sons was Ed Stark, whose father and brother died, and the other was my brother Robert. For various reasons, Jon Ailin refused the command of the Crazy King, and the war broke out."
These are facts and there is nothing to refute, so Oberon nodded.
"Northern border, valleys, rivers, storms, and shortly after the war started, most of Westeros began to resist the Mad King. I couldn't see clearly in the early stages, but as the war continued, the situation became clearer."
"At that time, you Dornese were allies of Targaryen. In order not to let your allies have a strange intention, the Crazy King detained your sister and your sister's children in King's Landing to take care of the army. At the same time, he was afraid that King of Targaryen would have an accident, so for the sake of safety, the Crazy King sent his wife and children to Dragon Stone Island. Sure enough, when Lannister pretended to be an ally of Targaryen and successfully opened the gate of King's Landing, an accident and a tragedy came."
Speaking of this, Lan Li paused and looked at the gloomy Dornishman in front of him. He said sarcastically: "Your sister was left in King's Landing and eventually died tragically under Lannister's slaughter. The children of the Mad King were sent to a safe place to escape, and those sent to Dragon Stone Island are your Dornishmen's allies at this moment."
"I said that Dorn did not form an alliance with Targaryen." Oberon sneered, "At the same time, I know the inside story more clearly than you about my sister's death, and you don't need to repeat it."
"Really?"
Lan Li was unmoved, "Who do you think you can blame for this matter? Lannister was a tyrant and abused your family with his own hands, but if the Crazy King had not coerced Dorn, how could your sister and the others face such a disaster? Or, in other words, if your brother-in-law had an extramarital affair, betrayed your sister, and then triggered a war, how could your sister die?"
Oberon narrowed his eyes slightly, and his eyes looked at Renli with hostility, as if he was furious because of Renli's repeated scars.
However, he did not start a sudden attack, but suddenly laughed after a moment of silence.
"So what do you want to say? Baratheon is innocent and an ally we should unite?"
"Of course." Lan Li nodded, "I don't deny that Baratheon is responsible for this matter, but it is obvious that Baratheon is the party with the least responsibility. When Lannister pretended to open the King's Land to start the massacre, they had not yet stood on Baratheon's side and had no prior communication with us, so they decided to kill the Targley safe house without authorization."
"So you decided to trade Lannister for Dorn?"
Oberon, who was crossing his legs, shook the note in his hand and shifted the topic to the main business.
"If I can choose, I will stand on Lannister's side, because Lannister is better than Dorn." Lanli admitted: "But this happened unpredictable and irreconcilable at all, so it is impossible for Baratheon and Lannister to maintain their ally relationship, at least it cannot be maintained for a long time. So why do we still hold them to become enemies with Dorn?"
"You just believe that I won't tell you this."
Oberon seemed to have regained his sanity and asked with interest, "If this matter is true, it is a big handle. Think about it, and you can only be good or bad for Dorn."
"Even if you say it out, no one believes it." Lan Li looked calm, "because you have no evidence."
"Do you have evidence?"
"I have it, but I can't show it to you now." Lanli replied.
In fact, he has no evidence, but he can catch the offender in bed anytime and anywhere, and "interrogate" the truth. However, this matter cannot be done casually, at least it must not be done at present.
"Then how can I be sure that you are telling the truth?"
Oberon asked: "Maybe your purpose is to deceive us?"
"I don't want to let Dorn stand directly on our side." Lanley said, "but I hope you can consider it carefully. Lannister is your enemy, Targaryen is the same, and Baratheon may become your ally, so why can't you remain neutral in the future war?"
This made Oberon squint his eyes, and Lanli said meaningfully: "Keep neutral and wait for the war to end, so that no matter who wins, Dorn's strength will not be damaged at all. And you and I know that anyone with the biggest fist in this world makes sense. At that time, it might be your Dorn's biggest fist, and it is very simple to find out the truth."
Oberon didn't say anything, and Renly continued, "You have seen everything outside, Targaryen is very unpopular here, or, when Targaryen unites with the pagans, they are destined to be unable to rule Westeros again. So why should we stand on the doomed side? You don't want to stand with Baratheon, yes, then run aside to watch the show, what losses can this be done?"
"No loss, but no gains," Oberon said.
Lan Li said so bluntly that he no longer needed to hide anything at this time.
"Even if you stand on Targaryen's side, what can you gain?"
Lanli asked back: "Maybe after you support Targaryen, the next king will have Dornish blood, but what's the use of this? Targaryen could not have been able to take the throne. Even if they defeated Baratheon, they would not have been able to sit back to the Iron Throne. This will not be changed when they unite the pagans, unless you believe that the pagans do not seek any reward for help."
Oberon didn't say anything, and his expression never changed, but Renli could find that the other party's emotions were completely different from the beginning.
So he changed his subject and said, "In this war, we don't mind Dorn watching the show, because Baratheon is confident and capable of defeating Targaryen. And I can guarantee that after dealing with Targaryen, the next one will be Lannister. At that time, you and I can completely form an alliance, and even my brother's second queen can consider Dorn's woman. What do you think?"
Oberon was silent for a moment, and finally took a deep look at Renli.
"I want to go back and discuss with my brother, and I can't give you any guarantee."
"certainly."
