"But what about the Lannisters?" asked Soros, "if you are not in the city, if the Lannister army is coming, I am afraid that the morale of the soldiers will be in trouble without you." You know, they're all here for your name. ”

"En......"

Li Lingyi pondered for a moment, this is indeed a problem. The Bannerless Clan really needs him to be in charge now in order to exert their maximum combat effectiveness, and once he is gone, those below will definitely be shaken. After all, up to now, almost everyone in the family regards him as a pillar and the foundation of this family. It can be said that if Li Ling dies, then this flagless family will definitely collapse immediately, after all, the prestige of Soros and Bane has not yet been fully established.

"Look, there's no way to fix it. Soros spread his hands, "So let's be steady, get Harrenhal done first, and then think about the Eagle's Nest." If you're in too much of a hurry, maybe it's not good. ”

"I think so. Berry nodded, "This really can't be rushed. ”

"What if Stannis is willing to help us?" Li Lingyi said suddenly.

Stannis?

The two of them looked at each other for a fourth time, "How can you help us?" He was almost broken up by Tywin in King's Landing, and even if he was fine, he couldn't have sent troops at will, right?"

"Who said he was going to send troops. Li Lingyi smiled and said, "You don't need to send troops, just show the appearance of sending troops...... That's it. ”

"Acting like a troop?" Berry thought for a moment, his eyes lit up, "I see what you mean, but it also requires Stannis's cooperation." And... He wouldn't do him any good of that, do you think he'd agree?"

“…… Beside Stannis, there is a Red Witch who believes in the Lord of Light. Li Lingyi said thoughtlessly, and after speaking, he looked at Berry, who was slightly stunned, nodded after a moment and turned away.

"What is Berry doing here?" Thoros was a little puzzled, "What's wrong with the Scarlet Witch?"

"It's okay, I'm just going to ask Berry to write a letter and contact the Scarlet Witch. Maybe... It's going to be useful. ”

Actually, it's not a little useful, it's very useful. So far, Stannis still trusts the Scarlet Witch and is willing to listen to her advice when it comes to big decisions. If she is willing to help Li Lingyi speak, then this matter is very likely to succeed.

And Berry is also a big believer in the Lord of Light, maybe reading his letter to the Red Witch will also know something about this.

The next thing is to wait, I have to say, every day in Harrenhal can catch a dozen spies, too many, all the families sent them. Of course, at most, they were sent from King's Landing, and several of them were the eight-clawed spider's men.

Li Lingyi also treats these spies differently, and some of them really find out the news, that is, one word killing. And some of those who were arrested before they could find anything, Li Lingyi would tell them some false information depending on the situation, and then let them go.

Of course, Li Lingyi is also cultivating spies, and then sending some out, not hoping to find out any confidential information, as long as he can send back some normal information in time, such as army movements and the like.

The spies in King's Landing did send back a secret report that the Lannisters were reorganizing their army and were about to attack soon, and the target was clearly Harrenhal.

The number of troops is tens of thousands, and it is still gathering, this number is not unexpected, the Lannisters definitely want to be in place at one time, the longer it drags on, the more troublesome it is, and simply invests a large number of troops to solve it at one time.

In fact, everyone in Harrenhal knew that this battle was inevitable, but there were still very few who had taken refuge and left, and most of them were willing to stay and live together, which was a major reason if they could hold it in the future.

At noon the next day, Li Lingyi finally received a reply from Stannis, which agreed to Li Lingyi's request, but also clearly said that he owed him a favor, and Li Lingyi must also help when he needs help in the future.

This is a fairly reasonable deal, and Li Lingyi naturally accepts it. So another day passed, and when the Lannister army was about to start, Storm's Rest began to gather troops, and it was quite threatening to attack King's Landing again.

And this also caused the Lannister's army to stop moving, and they were indeed afraid that if the army had just left King's Landing, Stannis would attack King's Landing, which could be regarded as a kind of pressure.

So at this hesitant juncture, Li Lingyi quietly went out of the city with a hundred elite soldiers at night, and then marched to the foot of the Twin Rivers City, and successfully let them go after identifying themselves.

So in the early morning of the next day, the group rushed to Yanchang Town near Eagle's Nest City, where the elite soldiers rested for a while, while Li Lingyi went to Eagle's Nest City alone.

Just like the original investigation of Twin River City, Li Lingyi must find out the information in the city before he can act, for him, every operation is not allowed to fail, because the consequences are often very difficult for him to bear.

It's the same this time, although only a hundred people were brought, but these 100 are the best soldiers among the elite soldiers, carefully selected from the flagless army, and a dead or injured Li Lingyi will be heartbroken, so he must be more cautious.

Eagle's Nest City, as a dangerous city, surrounded by mountains, it is not so easy to enter, there is only one valley to pass, and anyone who goes up from here will undoubtedly be discovered by the guards.

Bronn once said that if he was given ten good hands and enough hiking boots, he could take down the sluts in the castle.

It sounds very domineering, but in fact it is completely impossible, unlike the small dirt mountain in the play, this reality is surrounded by mountains but is full of cliffs, if you want to climb from the bottom to the top, even if you can't fall down the whole way, but the physical strength is completely insufficient, and it is estimated that you will be exhausted if you can't climb a tenth of it. When the time comes, if you can't go up or down, there will only be a dead end.

Therefore, if you want to capture the Eagle's Nest City, you can only attack it head-on, or steal it with a small force, otherwise it is the most common trick to fight this kind of terrain, that is, the inside should be combined with the outside.

Truth be told, this trick is very useful if the Lannisters use it. Because everyone knows that Lannisters have debts that must be repaid. You can say that he is insidious, but he will still give money when he gets things done, so many people are willing to die.

But Li Lingyi is different, even if he takes out 10,000 gold dragons to bribe a person, it is estimated that people will not believe it. This is the disadvantage of the new family, there is no background, except for relying on fists, foreign politics are not accepted.

Therefore, Li Lingyi didn't think about playing anything inside and outside at the beginning, what he thought of was the second way to play, first use the bait to lure the guards away, and then let the elite soldiers sneak attack.

And this bait, no doubt, is himself.
