In Harrenburg, post-war sorting and epidemic prevention work are underway.

Although it was defended, its own casualties could only be described as heavy. A total of tens of thousands of soldiers, basically half of them are disabled, and the rest are also a little nervous. Even Li Lingyi was thinking that if the Lannister killed a horse pistol at this time, it was another matter whether he could hold it.

It's just that the Lannister's soldiers are also human, and after all this, they can't be so high-spirited and charge again as if nothing happened, which is completely impossible.

After all, war is not like playing a game, people are numbers, and they are lost when they are consumed. In fact, real wars are very momentum-oriented, and a leader who escapes may take a piece with him. In ancient China, there were also cases where a few hundred people defeated tens of thousands of people, and it stands to reason that tens of thousands of people can spit on hundreds of people, but they still lose and cannot defeat the army.

In short, all kinds of situations will occur, so there is no doubt that famous generals are good at improvisation, and they will not only talk on paper like Zhao Kuo.

But at least in the short term, there is no need to worry about someone attacking, and the surrounding families are all taking care of themselves, and the only one that is still relatively strong is the Tully family in Riverrun.

It's just that if the latter heard about Harrenhal's achievements, they probably wouldn't dare to march at all, and even if they dared, Li Lingyi would even dare to fight back and directly take Rushing City.

Of course, this is only the extreme case. Now he has no idea of expanding for the time being, one Harrenhal and one Eagle's Nest City will be enough in the short term. However, Robb's behavior this time made him very disappointed, so when he recovered, he would definitely return the color.

For the dead soldiers, Li Lingyi gave them all a generous burial and gave them a large amount of pensions to their living relatives, which was rare in the entire mainland, and it also made the cohesion in the fort a lot stronger.

Because of the large number of corpses, it took the entire Harrenhal residents a total of three days to dispose of them before they were all buried. And then there was the recruitment policy.

In the past three days, the results of this battle have spread all over the continent, and everyone knows that the Bannerless Family has defeated the alliance of the Erin family and the Lannister family, and the corpses piled up under the city are like mountains, and the Bannerless family has also taken out a powerful secret weapon.

This has also successfully changed the impression of all families on the Bannerless Family, and many lords have secretly sent letter crows to Harrenhal. expressed their willingness to make friends, and even hinted at an alliance to deal with the Iron Throne together.

Of course, Li Lingyi didn't bother to pay attention to these wall grasses, most of these small families were low-level knights, and there were only a few hundred subordinates, and they were not worth uniting at all. It is better to maintain its own uniqueness, try to unite the common people, and follow the mass line.

In fact, in the past few days, there has been an endless stream of displaced people from all over the world rushing to Harrenhal to ask to join. Of course, counter-espionage work is also done all the time, and ordinary spies cannot be mixed in. So a week later, Harrenhal's population managed to break 50,000.

On the one hand, the conscription was in full swing, and on the other hand, the Arryn family also sent representatives to negotiate, or an old acquaintance, Ian.

The latter was quite bold and came with only four escorts, while Li Lingyi and Bane were in charge of the reception.

At the negotiating table, Ian got straight to the point: "I hope that Patriarch Ivy can fulfill his previous promise." You said that once you repel the Lannisters, you will return the Eagle's Nest to us. ”

"That's when your whole army retreats. Li Lingyi sneered: "According to my observation, you have only evacuated a small half of the people." You didn't complete the agreement at all, but you want me to keep my promise?"

"You!" Ian stood up angrily, but he also knew that he was in someone else's territory, and the weapons on his body had been taken down long before entering the inner fort, so he had to suppress the fire.

"And what do you want? Do you think you can occupy Eagle's Nest forever?" Ian sat back down, his face cold, "The golden dragon, the material, the population, we can all give it to you." As long as you return the Eagle's Nest City and the little young master to us. ”

"We don't lack any of that. Berry began, narrowing his eyes, "unless you can exchange it for something of equal value." ”

Equivalent value?

Ian asked, puzzled, "What do you mean?"

Li Lingyi and Bane glanced at each other, and the former chuckled: "If you want a city, naturally you have to exchange a city for it." ”

A city in exchange?!

"What did you say?!" Ian couldn't help but exclaim, and then said angrily, "How can we have any other city! Are you deliberately humiliating us!"

"I didn't mean that. Li Lingyi said, the cold in his eyes grew, "You should remember how you got from the valley to Harrenhal, right?"

Ian didn't understand, he didn't understand what Li Lingyi wanted to say.

"Who let you go?" said Berry.

Ian was stunned when he heard this, and then he was shocked, and said, "You want Twin River City ?!!"

That's right, that's what Li Lingyi meant.

When he learned that Ian was coming, he consulted with his subordinates for a long time. First of all, Eagle's Nest City cannot be easily returned, after all, its strategic value is very large.

But there is also a fatal flaw, that is, it is constantly surrounded by the Valley Knights, which makes it very difficult to move troops upwards, and the Valley Knights must be defeated first.

So Li Lingyi thought of exchanging cities for cities.

Robb's attitude made him understand that the Twin Cities must be in his own hands to be safe, and that the population of Harrenhal was growing more and more urgent, and there was a certain need for a certain diversion, otherwise even the largest castle would eventually become overcrowded.

Not to mention the excellent geographical location and gold-absorbing ability of the Twin River City, with it, the Flagless family can also develop faster.

Therefore, it is necessary for Twin Cities to take it.

It's just that now that the war has just ended, the flagless army will definitely not be able to go out of the city to fight in a short time, originally Li Lingyi planned to wait for a while to make plans, but the sudden arrival of the Valley Knight gave him a chance.

You don't have to do it yourself, just let the Valley Knight take down the Twin Cities, and then use them to exchange them for Eagle's Nest City...... Wouldn't that be enough?

It doesn't cost a single soldier, and it's the perfect plan.

As for whether the Arryn family will agree......

Li Lingyi didn't know either, he looked at Ian, who also understood what the other side had in mind, his brows were twisted together, and it seemed that it was difficult to make this decision.

"I hope you can understand that Eagle's Nest doesn't mean anything special to me. Li Ling added to the fire and said, "After all, it is a continuation of your family for hundreds of years, not ours. So...... If one day I really can't hold it, I also gave an order to the soldiers defending the city. ”
