If Harrenhal needs a Gold Cloaks-sized garrison (circa 2000 men?) to be defensible, how many men did Tywin leave behind when he headed west to face Robb? If it is about 2k, how did Roose pull off his takeover with only the 100 traitorous Brave Companions and their couple dozen northern “prisoners”?

Tywin left 100 men, and Roose (or rather, Robett Glover) won because he had 100 Northmen and 100 Bloody Mummers, for a 2:1 advantage and the element of surprise.
