"Ivey, there's a message from Stark. โ
Early in the morning, as soon as Li Lingyi was taking care of his chores, Berry walked in with a letter and put it on the table.
Picking it up and scanning it a few times, it didn't surprise him, the letter stated that Catherine had made it clear to her mother, the Tully family, and was willing to join the alliance, but her sister disagreed, insisting on maintaining her opposition to the Flagless family.
Catherine tried three times but failed to convince Lysa, who seemed to become even more crazy after being imprisoned by Li Lingyi for a while, executing a few people at every turn on weekdays, making the atmosphere of the entire Eagle's Nest City very serious, and the Knights of the Valley were also in danger.
It even states that when Catherine first mentioned the incident, Lysa was so angry that she ordered her men to drive her away, completely ignoring the friendship between the sisters.
In short, the Arryn family will not join the alliance, of course, only temporarily.
Li Lingyi couldn't let them stay out of the matter, so since Catherine couldn't handle it, he had to do it himself.
The simplest and most brutal is to press the territory with a large army and use force to force it to submit. But it's also obviously the dumbest way to do it. On the one hand, a large number of troops will be lost, and other families will certainly not sit idly by.
At least Tully and Stark definitely didn't want Li Lingyi to attack the Eagle's Nest, so Li Lingyi didn't plan to attack from the outside, but chose to disintegrate the Arryn family from the inside.
In fact, it's not a clever way, just rely on the fact that he knows the plot well.
Because he knew that Jon, the former patriarch of the Arryn family, was poisoned by Lysa himself, so as long as this matter was known to the generals of the Arryn family, then Lysa would definitely have no good end.
Although Li Lingyi has no evidence, this kind of thing actually doesn't need evidence, as long as it is said and people doubt it, it has already achieved the effect.
The reason why he thought so was also because from his several contacts with Ian, the supreme general of the Arryn family, he could vaguely feel that the knights of the Vale were not very happy with Lyza, especially for her slightly crazy rule and control of children.
As the only orthodox heir of the Arryn family, Little Robin has no normal intelligence and a weird and tyrannical personality, so the power has always been in Lysa's hands.
And according to the spy report in Eagle's Nest City, as Ryza further strengthens the Bannerless Family, many generals have openly expressed their dissatisfaction. They are not stupid, now everyone can see the general trend of the Northern Alliance, if the Erin family insists on not participating, it is by no means as simple as being isolated.
It can be said that it would be easy to say if the Eagle's Nest City was in the south, but it is located in the valley, with the mountains at its back, facing the Twin Cities in front and Harrenhal to the south, and it is completely surrounded by the power of the Bannerless Family.
Although the Eagle's Nest City is easy to defend and difficult to attack, now everyone can see that the Bannerless Family's strength has increased greatly, and if a large army is sent to besiege the city, it will really be a very terrifying thing.
After all, since the defeat of the Lannister, there have been rumors on the mainland that there is a secret weapon in Harrenhal, which can be portable and mobile and can quickly throw dozens or hundreds of pounds of iron buckets to hundreds of meters away.
Moreover, not only the high-level, but also the civilians at the bottom of the valley also expressed their favor for the Flagless family, after all, the latter's policy was really visible, and the poor people who couldn't eat in the riverland were now doing well, even better than the civilians in their valley.
In this way, the psychology must be unbalanced, so if you still have to maintain opposition with the Flagless family now, the civilians must not know the reason, of course, this is also related to the fact that the Flagless Army has never harassed civilians.
So under this general trend, Li Lingyi didn't need to use troops at all, he thought about it for a while, and directly asked Berry to call James.
After a while, a man with a small stature and a pale face walked into the room and looked at Li Lingyi with an expressionless face, "My lord, what is the task?"
James Bertord, who is the head of Hawkeye, an intelligence organization formed by Li Lingyi, was also a talent selected by thousands of people, with a cold heart, a clear mind and extreme loyalty.
Li Lingyi took out a note at this time, wrote something on it, and then handed it to James, "Spread the content on it, mainly for the Arryn family, Stark and Tully should also spread some appropriately." โ
"Yes. โ
James didn't ask a word of refuge, took the note, glanced at it, and turned to leave the room.
"Let's wait to see the show......"
Li Lingyi stretched his waist and slowly walked to the window to look south, his eyes beating with a eager light.

Eagle's Nest.
Lysa took her son for a walk around the city, surrounded by dozens of knightly guards. Since the last Li Lingyi raid, she has been carrying these people with her, and has asked people to conduct a big patrol every few days, for fear that the last incident will happen again.
But today she obviously felt that the way the civilians on the street looked at her was not quite right, it was a look of hatred, hatred, which Lysa could tell at once, and this made her suddenly angry.
"What's going on?!" she yelled in the street, "What are you looking at?!"
The voice was sharp and piercing, and the son in his arms and the knights around him were startled, not to mention the civilians, who didn't say a word and sped away one after another, but this also made Lysa even more angry.
"Arrest it!" Lysa locked on to a young man and said sharply to the knight beside her, "Arrest that person!"
"Yes!"
Naturally, the knights did not disobey the order, and directly stepped forward a few steps to catch the young man, who immediately shouted: "Don't! I am innocent! I have not committed a crime!"
However, the shouts were useless, and he was taken directly to Lysa, where he was pressed to his knees by the knight.
"Say!" Lysa stared at the young man with a fierce look in her eyes, "Why did you look at me like that just now!!"
"I didn't, I didn't, ma'am!" the young man hurriedly retorted, and Lysa sneered when she heard this, "You dare to lie to me, it's good, bring him to the temple!"
After saying that, she turned around and walked towards the palace with her son in her arms, and the knights also followed the struggling youth, and the surrounding civilians also whispered when they saw this.
"Is it true that you say it will be......
"Lady Lysa poisoned the old patriarch......?
"I heard that she had an affair with that little finger in King's Landing, it's not a good thing!"
"Be quiet, you want to be caught in the temple too, I tell you, you have to ...... in the end. Go down. โ
"Alas... Our Arryn family may really be ruined by this lady. โ
