Change in course of Story. (Patreon)

So, I was in a hurry, Okay. I made a mistake by bringing the Battle of the Blackwater into the narrative too early.

If Haridon is planning so extensively with the Tyrells, it would be foolish for him to proceed without first securing their support when he needs it most.

And Tyrion, being the clever dwarf he is, would certainly advise him of that. The war will still come, but it will unfold differently, and in a few chapters.
