Chapter 526: Hostage Exchange

What the little devil said is also true, this is indeed the wind that Li Ling ordered Hawkeye to release, in order not to really arrest the Lannisters, but to keep the civilians in King's Landing City hot.

After all, these civilians are not stupid, they also see that the Iron Throne is in danger, and the big tree of Lannister is not far away. The reason why it hasn't reached the point where everyone pushes it now is just because it's still alive, but if it really gets to the point of starving to death, you see if people will come out and push it.

And that day is coming soon.

The little devil saw this, so he didn't want to be torn to pieces by the angry civilians to ask for credit from Ivy Crane, so he had to flee and escape from the city.

But how easy is that?

"Now that the whole city is surrounded by Ivy Crane's coalition forces, it's hard for us to escape. Bronn said.

"But you have a way, don't you?" said the little devil laughed, knowing his captain of the guard very well and knowing what he was capable of.

As a person who struggled from the bottom, Bolong can be said to know all the people of the three religions and the ninth rank, and he is also familiar with all kinds of methods. That's why the little devil was sure that he would have a way to escape from the city that was surrounded by the masses.

"Of course there is. Bronn also laughed, "Of course, Ivy Crane's idea doesn't need to be fought, his soldiers are notoriously strict, and it is difficult to get on the line, and the Flagless family also has a powerful intelligence organization, which will be monitored if you are not careful." ”

The little devil nodded when he heard this, he also knew this, even the "Octopus Spider" Great Eunuch Varys, who was the best at gathering intelligence in King's Landing, failed to infiltrate the intelligence network into the Bannerless Family.

According to him, it is because the member organizations of the Flagless Family are completely different from other families, the structure of the layer is very strict, and the people on the next level are completely ignorant of the previous layer, and the secrecy is extremely high, so if you want to infiltrate it, you have to buy a large number of people, otherwise if one leaks out, everyone will be implicated.

But it is very difficult to buy off a large number of people, because the Wuqi family itself also runs an intelligence organization, and the scale is very huge, if you want to buy it, maybe that person is an intelligence agent himself, and he can take your money and do nothing, or even give you false information.

Therefore, Varys is also very troubled, and this matter can be said to make him very distressed, and he has been scolded by Tywin several times before. After all, it is difficult to target without accurate information, just like the surprise attack on Kaiyan City by the Flagless Army, if there is information in advance, it will still be taken away?

"But to the west, it's the soldiers of the Martell family who are besieging the city. There was a hint of cunning in Bolon's eyes, "This prince's family is not so invulnerable, there are many people in it, all of them are my brothers. ”

"yes, that's easy. The little devil nodded, if someone responded, it would be easy to smuggle two people out.

"But......," Boron gestured with his hand, "it's a head-scratching job, and this salary is indispensable." ”

Seeing this, the corners of the little devil's mouth grinned, "No matter how many golden dragons there are, they are not as useful as a life, just give as much as you want." After all, now in King's Landing, the golden dragon is like scrap metal, and the flowers can't be spent. ”

Also, the whole city is besieged, and the caravans can't get in, and even if people want to buy food, they are even willing to pay several times more, but sorry, there is nowhere to buy it, and you can't spend the money if you have it.

The two discussed the details again, and decided to leave as soon as possible without further ado, after all, maybe one day King's Landing would fall directly, and then they would not be able to run away if they wanted to.

At this time, outside the city, the food was being transferred rapidly, and although the Stark family wanted to come out, it was too far to transfer food from Lindong, so it was simply the share that was also sent by Li Lingyi's flagless family.

I have to say that the Hejian area is like the Henan region of China, which belongs to the land of grain production, and the land is fertile and the grain output is extremely high, so it occupies a great advantage here. Therefore, Li Lingyi chose Harrenhal as the target of the strategy at the beginning, and now there is a good return, that is, the grain reserves are extremely high.

The food stored in Harrenhal is enough for everyone to eat for a year, and it is impossible to move the muscles and bones if you take out hundreds of thousands of kilograms, not to mention that the Tully family's Riverrun City will also take out some of it, so the pressure will not be very great.

Three days later.

500,000 kilograms of grain were transported in dozens of carts, and according to Old Tywin's request, when the two sides were handed over, the alliance army had to retreat another kilometer, so as not to have the opportunity to rush in when the city gates were opened. After that, each side sent some soldiers to exchange food and people.

is a very reasonable request, if it was Li Lingyi, he would also ask for this, so he also agreed, but with Old Tywin's viciousness, the latter is likely to make some cats.

However, it is worth mentioning that Li Lingyi also hides some tricks, but only he knows about this matter, and no one else knows even other families in the alliance.

So the next day, the handover officially began, and the army was the first to retreat, and then dozens of soldiers with dozens of wagons full of grain came to a stop at a distance of kilometers from the city gate, and they would not be stupid enough to enter the range of archers on the city wall.

Moments later, the gates slowly opened, and a group of Lannister soldiers rushed out on horseback, one of them carrying the hostage Sansa, who was also looking at it expectantly. After going through so much, she is no longer the girl who used to look at her face, and she has also become mature, knowing that her relatives are the most important and reliable.

The soldiers approached the grain cart, dismounted and began to check, the cart was full of bags of grain, very heavy, they pierced the bags with daggers, looked at it, and nodded.

"Let's change people. The Flagless Soldier said, nodding across the other side and handing over Sansa, and the Flagless Soldier loosened the tied Jaime.

During the process, both sides looked at each other vigilantly, and their hands were pressed on the swords at their waists, for fear that one party would suddenly move without saying a word.

After the hostage exchange, the Flagless Soldier took Sansa and immediately put several layers of armor on her, and then escorted her backwards. This is also what Li Lingyi specially explained, he was afraid that the old Tywin would play a trick and suddenly make a move on the girl.

Sure enough, seeing the unflagless soldiers' focus on Sansa's protection, the Lannisters glanced at each other, then shook their heads slightly, and ran back with the food cart.

At the same time, the Alliance army began to advance again, which frightened the Lannister soldiers into picking up their speed and closing the gate as soon as they ran back to the city.

"Just give them the food?" At this point, Stannis in the rear was still a little dissatisfied, but Li Lingyi on the side showed him a mysterious smile, "Don't worry, these grains are not so easy to take." ”
