As soon as Li Ling finished speaking, everyone fell silent, although most of them did not understand military affairs, but they also knew the great reputation of Tywin Lannister, and how powerful the tens of thousands of troops under his command were.

"I know everybody's worried, it's true that Tywin Lannister has a lot of soldiers, many times more than us. But don't forget, Riverrun City is only less than half a day's journey from here, and there are tens of thousands of northern troops sitting there!"

"As you can imagine, the Lannisters were the culprits behind Eddard Stark's death, and Robb Stark, the young wolf master, would never let them go. Once Tywin's army arrives, if they choose to attack us, they will inevitably face a great risk of being attacked on their backs!"

"So, as long as we stop the storm that is coming, the rainbow and the celebration feast are behind!

"There is !!"

Everyone shouted in unison in response to Li Lingyi, and although the latter asked this sentence, he did not have absolute confidence in his own heart, and he was almost half sure. Moreover, the system has not prompted him to complete the mission so far, which probably means that he has not really captured this Harrenhal.

After the meeting, there was no time to rest, and all kinds of work were prepared, although Tywin might not arrive until the day after tomorrow, but perhaps the defenders had already released the letter crow, which might have shortened the arrival time of the latter's rapid march.

So Li Lingyi quickly discussed the defensive plan with Beresoros, relying on the terrain of Harrenhal, it is difficult to use tools such as ladders in this rugged terrain, and can only attack the main gate. And the narrowness of the main gate, as long as there are strong guards, one can be ten. Therefore, Berry was in charge of selecting thirty powerful and experienced veterans from these hundreds of people, and guarded the city gate with Li Lingyi when the time came.

In other aspects, the prisoners were quickly reorganized, and this work referred to the opinions of many old people, because many soldiers they knew and were forced to enlist, so at this time, they naturally abandoned the darkness and joined Li Lingyi's team.

As for those soldiers who were originally the Clegane family or the Lannister family, they are generally divided into two kinds, one is the most heinous crime, such as "Notepad", "Sweet Mouth Raff" and other guys who often torture people, this kind of person naturally has no good end under the excitement of the crowd, and the prisoners who have been tortured before are also not stingy, how to suffer how to come.

Li Ling didn't stop this, in fact, it was more conducive to the unity between these prisoners, and he would be more loyal to him, and those guys were innocent of death.

As for those who did not commit to death, they were all locked up in the cellar by Li Lingyi, and he would not be like the previous owner of this castle, who locked everyone in the open cowshed, so that even if he was handcuffed and shackled, the probability of escaping and turmoil was still too great.

After being locked in, it wasn't over, Li Lingyi also sent a few people to have a "heart-to-heart dialogue", these people were the team leaders selected by the previous group, they accepted Li Lingyi's spirit more deeply, and they knew how to persuade people better, so that they could talk about these captives to their side.

Of course, in fact, Li Lingyi didn't want to recruit prisoners at all, but there was no way now, and one more combat power could be counted as one. At the same time, Soros also took a group of people out to continue recruiting people in nearby villages. When I recruited people before, I didn't have enough confidence, but now that I have the largest castle in the Seven Kingdoms as my nest, it's not too easy to recruit people.

A steady stream of nearby villagers entered the castle throughout the day, and such a large flow of food also increased the consumption of food, but fortunately, the food storage in Harrenhal was very, very large, and it was conceivably plundered from the villagers of the Riverlands in order to supply the coming army of Tywin. But he didn't expect to be taken by Li Lingyi, and these foods were taken from the villagers, so naturally they had to be used on them.

In the evening, when it got dark, the whole of Harrenhal was filled with more than 3,000 people! Ninety percent of them were peasants, and about one-third were young adults, and after they had eaten and drunk enough, Soros and Berry began to train in groups. Although it's a grinding gun, it's not fast.

And the news of Harrenhal's change of hands is naturally unconcealable, and almost all the families with a little strength in the entire continent have received this news in one day, and there are naturally many reactions among them.

Riverrun.

"Mother!" Robb looked at Catherine, who was walking quickly into his room, a little incredulous, "Do you know that?"

"Yes. Catherine nodded solemnly, "I didn't expect that kid to be able to take Harrenhal down quietly, and I don't know who is supporting him." ”

"Mother, I have heard that he gathered the poor of the Riverlands, and that he succeeded in the night attack. Robb said with some annoyance, "If I knew that the Harrenhal defenders were so wasteful, I might as well lead the army to take them down earlier!"

"Harrenhal is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and I don't think it's possible to rely on the poor people who can only farm. Catherine shook her head, her expression determined, "There must be experienced soldiers in his ranks! Robb, do you know how many men he has?"

"This," Robb frowned, "I heard that it was two thousand, but I don't know if the information is accurate." But with fewer people, even if you sneak attack, you can't take Harrenhal, right?"

"Two thousand. Catherine nodded, thought for a moment, and said seriously: "Robb, I think this is the reason why he is not loyal to anyone. I'm afraid he... Want to start a family of your own!"

"......" Robb was silent, it was not easy to establish a family by himself, ninety-nine out of a hundred people who did so failed, and the remaining one was probably a small family with only a few hundred people or a village.

But now as soon as Li Ling wants to establish a family, he will immediately take the largest castle in the Seven Kingdoms? Robb admits that it is very powerful, but it is one thing to take it, and it is another thing to have it for how long. There are too many families that have owned Harrenhal in history, but all of them have been destroyed.

Besides, there is a big crisis right now, and when Tywin's army arrives, they will definitely take Harrenhal first.

Thinking so, Robb asked his mother, "Mother, I think we're going to join forces with Evie Crane this time!"

When Catherine heard this, a wry smile appeared on her face, and she took out a note from her sleeve and handed it to Robb, "I'm afraid we won't be able to join forces."

"It's ......"

Robb took the note, and when he saw the content on it, his expression suddenly changed, and he suddenly raised his hand and slapped it on the table!
