Iger doesn't like to be sold, but of course his tolerance for different subjects fluctuates. The girl in front of him was not his subordinate, and she liked him...... Therefore, after bowing his head slightly, he showed an unhurried and impatient demeanor: "But it doesn't hurt to say it, whether to adopt it or not, the risk consequences, that's my business." ”

"My idea is actually quite simple: the queen and the lord are in the north...... Belch...... Not very popular, so it's a difficult problem that you can't solve at the moment, either the Queen, or any of her subordinates. The strategic goal is in the south, so it is not appropriate to waste time in the north, so the only way out is to ask the Starks to help. Even with permission to speak, Myrthella still looked uneasy, but fortunately she didn't hesitate to speak, "Your idea of commanding the North through the Stark family is good, but it doesn't work to lock people up in the castle and rely on crows and messengers to give orders like this, because the people of the North will assume that the Stark family is in a state of captivity and coercion, and that they are being forced to do what they are ordered by the sword." In this case, it doesn't matter whose handwriting is on the letter, what stamps it is, or what kind of content is written...... will not make any nobles respond or obey. But if Robb himself stepped in...... Then it was another matter: he could remain 'free' in order to be the guardian of the North and the Duke of Stark, to make his position clear to the princes in the name of the feudal lord, and to persuade the nobles of the north to pledge allegiance to the queen and fight for her. ”

Egg frowned, "You mean - let Robb go so that he can help with the Queen's mission of 'gathering the army of the North'?"

"Well, not only that, but he also had to bring his usual Stark subordinates and soldiers. If you send your subordinates to accompany you, not only will the lives of those people not be guaranteed, but the nobles of the northern realm will also judge that Robb was forced by you to come forward to persuade him to surrender, and the weight of his words will be greatly reduced. ”

It is no wonder that Messira had been hesitant before, saying that it "requires great courage, trust, and mental preparation for bad results...... There is a word in the ancient sayings of the Celestial Empire that perfectly describes this plan: let the tiger return to the mountain!

As a young, healthy, and fertility-proven male and patriarch, it's no exaggeration to say that Robb is not only the head of Winterfell, but also the Stark family's number one seed, and theoretically can rebuild the entire family with just one person as long as he's okay - and the kind whose bloodlines and laws are not questioned in any way. The biggest result of his raid to take Winterfell was not to capture the castle, but to take advantage of the fact that everyone was huddled at home to keep warm in the winter, and wiped out half of the entire Stark family, so that they had no bargaining chips at the negotiating table, and could only take what they wanted and let others slaughter them.

Let Robb leave free...... At worst, throwing away his biggest bargaining chip, he can bargain with the queen again as soon as he leaves Winterfell and returns to the North, and at worst, he can turn his gun and command the assembled Northerners against the Land-Granted. At that time, what should I do with the members of the Stark family who should be holding it in my hands?

Autumn is innocent, and Daenerys, who feels betrayed, will not agree, and even if he can pass the psychological hurdle, he will instantly confirm the label of "traitor" and "lackey of the mad king's daughter", and since then he has become notorious and has become a villain who is despised by the public enemies of the north and even the Seven Kingdoms. Robb is grieving for the sake of his family's legacy, and in the blink of an eye, he will marry another woman from the North, "sow" the seeds again, leave an heir, and rebuild the "House of Exiled Stark" outside of Winterfell, and never die with himself ever since. At that time, let alone ten days and half a month, I am afraid that the northern border will become Dorne three hundred years ago, and it will be difficult to enter the territory in three and five years against the new conqueror.

Yes, the Young Wolf Lord is a man of integrity and integrity, he loves his family, and most of the time between the "honor of justice" and the family will choose the latter as his father made in the original timeline. But don't forget: in this primitive feudal era, the relationship between feudal lords and vassals was not as orderly as that between emperors and officials in the imperial era. The feudal monarch was strong, and the vassals were obedient, and the feudal monarch suffered defeat, lost the castle, and surrendered to the rebels and former mortal enemies...... The powerful vassals may forcibly detain Robb under the banner of "for the north", not only do they not owe allegiance to the queen, but also coerce and force him to continue fighting with them!

......

"My lord, I understand what you're worried about. "But under the same roof, I am confident that I know the Starks well enough to assure you that Robb, with his character, will never renege on his vows and abandon his wife and daughter against you." As long as you calmly explain the benefits and discuss countermeasures with him, you don't have to worry about him becoming an enemy again...... Then take out the armor and sword in the arsenal and rearm the Winterfell guards, let him bring two or three hundred soldiers who really belong to the Stark family, and the rest of the northern princes will not dare to risk the big disapproval to control and coerce him. Solving these two biggest problems, the rest of the details are not enough. ”

Oh, good fellow, this little girl is even ready for the follow-up plan of what she is worried about...... Let the wolves go back to the mountain, and have to return the wolves to him? The boldness of this plan was really a little intimidating even for him, a self-proclaimed well-informed traverser.

If it weren't for the girl in front of her who set fire to the stables in Winterfell a few days ago, Egg would have suspected that she was a lobbyist who had been commissioned by Robb to fool him.

"Hmm...... I'm afraid I'll have to think about it. ”

It wasn't an excuse, Iger did intend to think about it—it sounded like a good idea, but there were so many things in the world that sounded like that, and things developed according to objective laws rather than subjective human imagination. He has made many mistakes for granted, and he will always learn a lesson...... What's more: with the Queen in Winterfell, even if she decides to take Mithella's advice, "freeing Robb Stark" is not a big deal that can be decided by one person.

As he pondered it, Iger realized that this was not a good time to "think further": the two of them walked from the direction of the hall and talked, talking as they approached their temporary living room—and Egger would have to invite Missera into the house for dinner and a candlelight conversation. The little princess is now a member of the Stark family, and it is no longer appropriate for the little princess to take the initiative to talk to him when the castle is occupied by herself, and if she is seen in the same room with her after dark, I don't know what strange rumors will come up that will make her unable to continue living here.

Coughing, he smiled and said, intending to end the conversation: "Anyway, thank Miss Maeve for using her brains for this." It's dark, and the castle is full of people, so you'd better ...... early."

"Wait, there's still one. Probably understanding why Egger drove her away, Messira sped up her voice a little nervously: "Your Excellency has been the commander-in-chief of the Night's Watch for so long, and you can't know anyone in the north......, right?" I roughly divide them into three categories: those who are nimble and flexible, and who you already know well and have good relations, and can be brought in to the queen without the help of others; the second is stubborn, stinky, and hard, and no one can make them understand the situation; and the third is between the first two, which is not easy to win over, but not completely impossible to win over. ”

"Among them, the first type can be settled horizontally and vertically as long as the communication is good, the second type can quickly give up communication and find another way, and only the third category, which is the most numerous, the most necessary and worthy of the use of adults' brains to encircle - coincidentally, most of these people are now leading troops to gather in the city of Severn not far away to confront you. All you have to do is throw Robb this bait...... If things go well, it's easy to catch them all. ”

The "rule of thirds" of this simplified problem model is quite an interesting angle of thinking, at least at first glance it can be called "reasonable and clear", Egger's eyes lit up slightly, stopped at the door of his room, stood in place, and began to frown deeply in thought.

He instinctively hated the plan, not because of any pitfalls or loopholes, but because it put the decision on the development of the situation in the hands of someone else, Robb Stark, which contradicted his long-standing creed and the principle of "not giving the initiative to anyone other than himself". But in his heart, he also had to admit that it was impossible for anyone to control everything from beginning to end without relying on anyone......

This may indeed be a clever way to find a way out of a difficult situation, the only problem is that, as the girl puts it, "it takes a lot of courage, trust, and mental preparation for bad results."

Egg was surprised to find that he was really, by a thirteen-year-old girl's strategy...... I was a little excited.

"I'm young, so I'm sure there's something I don't think about, and I'm just thinking about it, just hoping for a direction that can provide adults with a little reference and new ideas outside of the convention. Messella also stood at the door of the room with him for a few seconds, and in the howling cold wind, she quickly realized that she shouldn't stay any longer, blushed slightly, and said goodbye: "My lord, you must have a lot to think about these days, I won't bother you for now, you can rest early in the evening...... No matter how important the military affairs are, you have to have a good body to carry them. ”

Iger remained still, nodding his head instead of politeness, and while watching Messila leave, he rolled his eyes and thought seriously, and then he pestled outside the door separated from the wall of the room for another half a minute under the inexplicable gaze of the guards, and finally surprisingly did not push the door and entered the room...... Instead, he turned around.

"Go to the two Lords, Petyr Berish and Robb Stark, and invite them to dinner with me, and say, I have something important to consult with them. ”
