Chapter 465: Timing

As time passed, Harrenhal's influence in the Riverlands grew, and many of the villagers moved to the city, as the protection of the Bannermen from thieves and robbers, and the small taxes to be paid in the city, which could be offset by food.

The training in the city is also becoming more and more intensive, and in addition, Li Lingyi has also sent alliances to various families. He didn't ask for anything in return, he just cast his net to catch fish, and it didn't matter if he didn't catch it.

However, to his surprise, Stannis actually sent him a letter, saying that he wanted to form an alliance against the Lannisters.

Li Lingyi didn't know what to say about Stannis, in fact, as a member of the Baratheon family, he should inherit the throne and sit on the Iron Throne. And he was a good monarch, as Jon later called for help.

At that time, the wild people and ghosts outside the Great Wall were all trouble, and only Stannis really took Jon's request for help on the entire continent and went to support with a large army. As for the rest of the family, they ignored it entirely, as Jon made it up.

Such a person, if there is no Lannister rebellion, should indeed sit on the Iron Throne. In fact, he almost sat down, but no one else can be blamed, because he let the Red Witch kill Lan Li with magic, causing his army to split and some of them to take refuge in Lannister.

Then Tywin rushed back to King's Landing with these lords and defeated Stannis, which can be regarded as a kind of retribution. And after this defeat, Stannis's vitality was greatly damaged, and he had no confidence and capital to fight again in the short term.

However, the sudden appearance of Li Ling made a fire in his heart again, not to mention anything else, just if he was not afraid of the Lannister, few families on the road could do it.

So Stannis also wants to win over one or two, and what the letter says is nothing more than some I am a royal orthodox, Joffrey is a ** product, we need to join forces to defeat the Lannisters and take back the Iron Throne and so on.

For this ally, Li Ling did not refuse, and replied to a letter that was willing to form an alliance, and then it was up to the Lannisters to deal with it, after all, the reply in the letter was only willing to form an alliance, but there was no intention to respect him as a king.

However, if Stannis is really informal, he will definitely agree to an alliance. Because the geographical location of the two is really good.

Judging from the map, if Harrenhal occupied by Li Lingyi was connected in a straight line with the Stannis family's Storm's Rest, then King's Landing would be in the middle of this line.

This means that the two of them can flank King's Landing in front and back, and once King's Landing sends troops against Harrenhal, Stannis can attack from behind. And vice versa, no matter who King's Landing fights, he has to watch out for the other side's surprise attack.

Therefore, this alliance is still very necessary, and Li Lingyi thought that if Stannis agreed, he could send troops to attack King's Landing when Lannis's characteristics attacked Harrenhal. It's hard to take it, but it's still okay to scare and scare them, which can also make the Lannister's soldiers on the front line terrified, and the combat effectiveness will definitely drop.

As for the other families, they basically drew a line with Harrenhal at this time, and what surprised Li Lingyi the most was that even Eagle's Nest City had declared itself an enemy of the Flagless Family.

What is Eagle's Nest City?Built on the top of the Bright Moon Mountains, across the Giant's Spear, the valley sits thousands of feet below.

It is the smallest of all the major castles, consisting of a cluster of seven slender white towers that are closely connected, and can only accommodate a maximum of five hundred people.

The castle is built of ornate white stone. The tower surrounds a garden that was supposed to be a sacred forest, but the soil was too thin for the fish beams to take root and failed, which made the Eagle's Nest unique. Barracks and stables were built directly into the mountain

It is a city that is admittedly easy to defend and almost impenetrable. And its owner is the Arryn family. It's just that now it's actually controlled by Lysa, and finally it has become Littlefinger's territory.

In any case, Lysa is Catherine's sister, and the Stark family represented by Catherine is undoubtedly an ally of the Unflagless family, so Lysa's attitude is up for consideration.

In Li Lingyi's opinion, it is estimated that the little finger is making trouble from behind, but he is not too worried. The Eagle's Nest is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the narrow castle means that there are not too many soldiers, and it will not be easy to attack from the mountain.

In fact, I don't dare, if the defenders go down the mountain easily, then once the battle is lost and the enemy catches up, it will be quite embarrassing to grab the Eagle's Nest City.

In fact, the hostile statement of Eagle's Nest City also reminded Li Lingyi of the existence of this city.

It's not that he didn't have the idea of this dangerous city, and even from the very beginning, he thought about what would happen if he took the Eagle's Nest City.

It's just that the conditions were too immature at that time.

The first point is that he is unknown, Lysa and Catherine are sisters, and the Stark family is an ally with Li Lingyi, so if he rashly makes a move, he is likely to turn against the Stark family and have a big fight.

Another point is that he can't get by, there is Twin River City there, and he will definitely not let him go. But now that the Twin Cities are controlled by the Starks, it's certainly no problem for him to want to pass through as an ally.

So now, Li Lingyi suddenly found that the two main obstacles had been solved, and now what was in front of him was a perfect city!

The weather is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, there is no need for many soldiers to guard, and the grain depot is sufficient... The advantages are numerous.

If you take it......

The more Li Lingyi sat in the room, the more excited he became, and in his excitement, he couldn't help but immediately get up and find Soros and Berry, and said what he thought.

After hearing this, both of them looked confused, looking at Li Lingyi in disbelief.

"What's wrong?" Li Lingyi said curiously, "Do you think this can't be done?"

"It's not impossible...... Berry frowned, "With Ivey's strength, you may really be able to lead a group of brave men to steal the Eagle's Nest City, but ......"

"But it feels a little fast!" Soros took over the conversation, touched his chin and said, "It hasn't been long since we took Harrenhal, and we are thinking about the Spear Eagle Nest City again, this step is very big." ”

Indeed, Li Lingyi also knew that his actions were a little anxious, but he couldn't treat himself like everyone else, he was a pioneer, and following the rules was not what he should do.

Expanding and developing his power as quickly as possible in the shortest possible time is what he should do, and now is the perfect time!
