Chapter 523: Shows of Favor and Substitution by All Parties

On the city wall, old Tywin and the little demon Tyrion stood together, looking at the tents thousands of kilometers outside the city, with a serious expression.

"I didn't expect us Lannisters to end up where we are today. Old Tywin spoke, his tone a little low. Tyrion glanced up at his father, feeling a little embarrassed. He hadn't seen this lion-like man look so tired.

"yes, now it seems that Ivey doesn't want to siege the city, he just wants to besiege us. The little devil had a self-deprecating smile on his face, "What a trick, so that you don't have to lose any soldiers, just wait slowly for us to surrender." ”

"Very well intended. Tywin agreed, asking, "There's only enough food in the city...... It's been a month. ”

"It's only enough for a soldier for a month. The little devil added, "But unfortunately, there is no civilian share. If you count them......"

"They will solve the food problem on their own. Old Tywin said forcefully.

The little devil paused for a moment when he heard this, and only spoke after a while: "If they can't find a way to solve it, maybe they will end up thinking about these military rations." After all, at the end of the day - the rations themselves were collected from them. ”

After he finished speaking, old Tywin looked at him, his face was expressionless, his eyes were cold, and his voice was full of suppressed anger: "Then you mean, return all the food to them." Then shall we open the gates and surrender, and put our heads under Ivy Crane's knife and let him cut it down?"

The little devil was silent, he knew that no matter what he said, this father would be furious, so he chose to be silent.

But he wanted to say: Yes.

Yes, now he can't think of anything but surrender, and almost eighty percent of the continent except King's Landing has fallen into the hands of the Northern Alliance family led by Ivy Crane. The remaining 20 percent, maybe they have the heart to resist, but now they can't bring troops at all.

For example, the Tyrells family in alliance with the Lannisters, also known as the Rose family. Now he has fled back to the High Court with the remaining soldiers, and he is staying at home.

The reason why the High Court has not fallen now is just because Li Lingyi can't spare his hands for the time being, once he finishes cleaning up King's Landing, then the next one will definitely be the turn of the High Court not far from King's Landing, and when the time comes, what will they resist in the face of these tens of thousands of soldiers?

Li Lingyi knew this, the Lannisters also knew it, and of course the Tyrells family knew it.

In fact, the "Queen of Thorns" Olenna Redwin has made it clear what the general trend is, so she also threw an olive branch to the Flagless family, expressing her willingness to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, give up the alliance with the Lannisters, and join the Northern Alliance.

As a result, King's Landing is almost in a desperate situation of loneliness, and perhaps the Bolton family, who are far away in the north, are willing to support the Iron Throne, but only in words.

"We will not surrender. "Now we still have hope, if the Golden Regiment can arrive and attack the coalition forces from behind, we may be able to defeat them by cooperating with the attack from the city." After all, those soldiers were just peasants, and they had not undergone professional combat training, but there were only a lot of them. ”

"yes......"

The little devil nodded in agreement, but sighed inwardly. sighed to such a desperate situation, and even his father, who had always been smart and rational, fell into meaningless fantasies.

The Golden Regiment may come, but more likely it won't.

After all, those mercenaries are not stupid, although they are willing to make money, they are not willing to risk their lives to make money. Now that the war situation on the mainland is one-sided, even if the mercenary group can win, it will definitely suffer heavy casualties, or even one in ten, they are willing to make such a big sacrifice?

If the two sides were evenly matched, the Golden Regiment would definitely be willing to participate in one or two, but for now...... Not to mention the Golden Regiment, even the Iron Vault, which has always supported the Lannisters and the Iron Throne, has now become ambiguous.

They know that maybe the Lannister and the Iron Throne will never pay them back, so instead of continuing to invest huge sums of money in them, it is better to change supporters, such as Ivy Crane, to be a good target.

……

"Hmph. ”

As soon as Li Ling finished reading the letter in his hand, he threw it aside with a sneer.

At this time, Robb, who happened to walk into the camp tent, saw this and immediately asked, "Someone's letter?" ”

"Iron vault. ”

"Iron Vault?!" Robb was taken aback, he had naturally heard of the existence of this Iron Vault, and knew that the latter was a very mysterious organization with countless golden dragons.

"They ......"

"Want to support us. Li Ling smiled and said, "To put it bluntly, they want to lend us money, and when we take King's Landing, we will return the money owed to them by the Lannisters and the Iron Throne." Are we really stupid?"

"It's ridiculous that we have worked so hard to build the city, and we want to return the captured golden dragon to them. Li Lingyi shook his head, "I'm in a distant free city-state, and I've been thinking about controlling Westeros... Maybe it worked before, but that's the end of it. ”

Hearing this, Robb heard Li Lingyi's refusal, and nodded, "That's right, we can't let anyone sway." After saying that, he suddenly remembered the purpose of his visit, and asked anxiously, "Ivey, did you catch Jaime?

"I'm not dead, what's wrong?"

"I want to beg you to give him to me. Robb said seriously, "My sister Sansa is still in King's Landing, and Joffrey's little bunny is using her to blackmail me into quitting the army, but I think as long as I exchange it for Jaime, I will definitely be able to exchange my sister back!"

Sansa ......

Li Ling suddenly understood when he heard this, if it weren't for Robb mentioning that he would have forgotten about this eldest lady of the wolf family, indeed, now Sansa is still imprisoned in King's Landing, so it is too normal to use it to blackmail Robb now.

"Okay. Li Lingyi naturally has no reason to refuse, after all, he has a good relationship with the Stark family now because he is married to Arya, and even according to Chinese tradition, he has to call Sansa "sister-in-law".

In this case, Robb asked him to exchange Jaime for Sansa, then he must have to give. Besides, it doesn't make much difference for Jaime to keep in his hands now, after all, although old Tywin likes this son, he is not enough to like it to surrender for him.

"Good!" Robb nodded heavily, "Thanks, Ive." ”

"I'm writing to Soros now and asking him to send people over. Li Lingyi said that Jaime was still imprisoned in Kaiyan City, "But you have to think clearly, maybe you want to change, but they ...... It won't necessarily be with you. ”
