A fight between two groups of people is not only to destroy each other to win, in fact, this is the lowest option, because the winner of the total destruction of the opponent also has to pay a lot of price, which is a lose-lose option. But the ancestors said in the Art of War that the soldiers who surrender without a fight are the highest and most powerful.

If he could, Li Lingyi naturally didn't want to fight too fiercely, after all, it was not easy to recruit some people, and besides, everyone was a poor people, and it was already very difficult to live in peacetime, so he didn't want to recruit people, so he took care of the food for a few days and then let people pay for it with their lives on the battlefield.

Therefore, after listening to the words of the old people, he was a little moved, if many of the soldiers in Harrenhal were from the peasants of the Riverlands at this time, then maybe there was really a possibility of rebellion! Once successful, not only could he avoid fierce battles, but on the other hand, he would be able to have more novice subordinates.

Of course, it will definitely not be so easy, Li Ling thought about it, since ancient times, most of the persuasions to surrender have only succeeded in one situation, that is, the persuaded people realized that if they did not surrender, what was waiting for them was death. It's easy to succeed when there is no other choice. If people are about to win and you want to persuade you to surrender, then it is estimated that people will treat you as a psychopath, really, do you still think you are Uncle Liu Huang.

Noted this in his heart, and then Li Lingyi quietly waited for training, he actually wanted to go to Harrenhal to investigate, but at the moment he couldn't leave, after all, now these civilians have weapons, once there is any disagreement, the situation is likely to get out of control without his leader.

Three days later, a sudden news disrupted Li Lingyi's plan.

Tywin Lannister is leading his army north!

As soon as this news reached Li Lingyi's ears, he was immediately a little shocked, he didn't expect this Tywin to act so quickly. It is conceivable that the destination of his army to the north is Harrenhal, where he will do an outpost battle and prepare to deal with the Northern Army led by Robb.

With the speed of Tywin's army, it would only take three days at most to reach Harrenhal, so Li Lingyi didn't have time to train at all, so he immediately gathered his people and began to prepare an attack plan.

"Attack now?" Soros frowned, "It's okay for these soldiers to obey the command now, but when it comes to fighting..."

"We don't have time. Li Lingyi sighed, "Do you think I want to be so fast? If we don't take Harrenhal in these three days, then we won't have any chance when Tywin's army arrives." ”

"Why don't we go and attack Castle Rock?" Berry made a bold idea, "Tywin is coming with an army, the nest must be empty, if we..."

"No, I can't. Li Lingyi immediately shook his head in denial, "The road from here to Kaiyan City is too far, and there will be several other family territories on the way, and we six hundred people will definitely not be able to hide, and when the time comes, if we are discovered by Tywin and order a flanking attack, I am afraid it will be a complete end." ”

The two of them were silent when they heard this, it was indeed impossible to run long distances, but there were many old people and children in their team, it was too easy to be discovered, and once they were discovered, they might not be able to reach Kaiyan City and be destroyed.

"Then do we have to take the city?" Soros asked, looking a little hesitant, "Ivey, have you ever thought that even if we take it, once Tywin's army arrives, if they choose to attack the city......

"Nope. Li Ling smiled when he heard this, "In a place like Harrenhal, a few hundred people can defend the attack of thousands. Besides, his enemies are not just us. He stretched out his finger and pointed to the north, "The young wolf lord is still guarding the city, think about it, if Tywin chooses to attack the city, will Robb sit idly by and ignore such a good opportunity to attack?"

"You're saying we're going to join forces with Robb Stark?" Berry's eyes lit up, and that was a good idea.

"He doesn't have to join forces, he'll shoot too. "After all, our enemies are common, and if Robb can inflict heavy losses on Tywin's army here, the royal family will be almost finished." ”

Berry and Soros nodded when they heard this, now the royal family is indeed weak, and the so-called royal city guards have a total of a few thousand, but the enemies they face are tens of thousands, whether it is the two Baratheon brothers or Robb, they all want Joffrey's life, if there is no Tywin's tens of thousands of troops to stand up, then there is really no chance.

Therefore, Tywin did not dare to act rashly in this situation, and if Harrenhal was captured before his arrival, it would not be so easy for him to take it back.

Without further ado, the two began to organize everyone, and Li Lingyi also sorted out the old people, women and children, in fact, in the past few days, he also had a certain plan for the siege in his heart, and he and Belisoros also discussed it and set a set of plans, and this set of plans can only be used at night.

It was getting darker, and it was just before midnight that everyone was moving. The operation did not take place in all its parts, except for about two hundred young men and women, and the rest of the children and old men remained in the cave and waited until the victory to bring them into the castle.

Of course, there is also the possibility of failure, and it is possible that these people can't wait for them to come back, but Li Lingyi is sure that they can win. This is not blind self-confidence, but an objective judgment made after analyzing friend and foe.

At this time, more than 300 people wore the black robes made by the women in the past few days, and their whole bodies were wrapped in armor, which completely blended into the night, like a group of moving black ghosts, and came to Harrenhal in silence, lying down a hillside and lurking.

"When I give the signal, you will rush in with men. Li Lingyi whispered to Berry and Soros that he had just gotten up but was held down by the shoulder, "Are you sure you want to go by yourself?" Berry said, "Otherwise, I'll go, I have an immortal body." ”

"No, I'm afraid you'll run out of times. Li Ling smiled and said, "Don't worry, how many times have I sneaked inside, it's as easy as going home." ”

“…… Well, be careful!"

Breaking away from the large army, Li Lingyi carried a small black burden alone and easily came to the castle wall according to the previous route, and the previous week's infiltration allowed him to completely understand the patrol rules here, so he naturally entered the fortress unimpeded.

After entering, his first stop was in the prisoner's quarters under the Crying Tower, where there were only two guards at night, Li Lingyi easily knocked the two unconscious, and then jumped into the cowshed, raising his hand and gently fanning the faces of the sleeping prisoners.
