As long as the two parties form an alliance, they may be able to capture King's Landing one day in the future, avenge their husband, and rescue their eldest daughter at the same time. After all, Sansa is still a hostage in King's Landing.

485 January

Remember ♂ in a second, update fast, read for free!

The clock is ticking.

A month has passed in the blink of an eye, and war cannot be carried out every day. In just a few days, it is possible to decide whether months or even years of preparation will be useful. This is the manifestation of war.

Now that Westeros has stabilized for the time being, the major families thought that since Avi Crane could defeat Lannister, maybe there would be a bigger move soon, but they did not expect the latter to stabilize .

If the mainland is now divided into three regions: North, Central, and South, then each region is undoubtedly maintaining a balance of power.

The north is naturally dominated by the Stark family. The local combat and the harsh environment have led to no one willing to conquer there. Robb is also undoubtedly the king of the north.

The central part is more lively, with the Aylin family, the Tully family, the Bolton family, and the most eye-catching family without a banner.

Among them, the Ayrin family and the Bannerless family were mortal enemies. Although the Tully family did not send troops in the previous siege of Harrenhal, they must be hostile.As for the Bolton family, their attitude is more ambiguous.

In fact, because of Li Lingyi's intervention, the skinning family had no chance to rob Winterfell, so they stayed in the Dreadfort and never came out.

Of course, according to the habits of this family, it is only because there is no opportunity for the time being that they don't do anything, otherwise Xiaopi, Pi will not let go of this moment of enjoyment.

In any case, the calm is only temporary. It is impossible for the Iron Throne to give up the unity, and it is impossible to recognize the legitimacy of other kings.The reason why I haven't done it yet is because I can't, not because I don't want to.

In fact, Li Lingyi also knew that the Iron Throne was definitely looking for an alliance during this time, just like himself, he was also busy contacting the major families.

Most of them are small families, and they don't have much strength themselves, so they are willing to rely on them.And some old powerful families are more inclined to the Iron Throne, such as the Tyrell family, also known as the Rose family.

They made a marriage contract between Little Rose Margaery Tyrell and Joffrey, which is a symbol of the alliance between the two families.And Sansa undoubtedly lost her status as a quasi-queen, and her situation became even more miserable.

But this is also her own choice. Naturally, she has to eat the bitter fruit she planted, and she can also learn and grow.After all, Li Lingyi wanted to take her along at the beginning, but the latter just didn't want to, no wonder others.

However, it is worth mentioning that Li Lingyi had a secret interview with Stannis once, and the two formed an alliance.But it just decided to fight against the Iron Throne and Lannister together, but it didn't say who the Iron Throne would belong to if they won.

According to the lineage, Stannis is naturally the most suitable candidate, but Li Lingyi does not intend to repeat the same mistakes. Instead of changing to a new king and someone rebelling, it is better to find a way to completely destroy the Iron Throne system.

This kind of thinking must be very astonishing. I'm afraid that even the closest people around Li Lingyi like Soros and Bailey can't understand it, so he hasn't talked to anyone so far, but he is just making preparations in silence.

And during this period of time, his two cities have also achieved considerable development, the population has almost doubled, and the army has not expanded very much. The total is less than 3 people.

Unlike the population, the army needs high-quality and loyal civilians to join, and because soldiers don't need to engage in agricultural activities, if there are too many soldiers, they can't afford it.

What's more, soldiers are more expensive than elites. Li Lingyi attaches great importance to these expanded new troops. He trains them almost every day without interruption, routine plus confrontation training, and takes some bandits in Hejian to exterminate .

After such a month, the new army is almost ready, at least it can be dragged to the plains for a while, and this has made the law and order in the river land much better, and some bandits have moved to the south.

Of course, it is certain that not only the Bannerless family is recharging their energy, but the Lannister, Ayrin, Tully and other big families are all expanding their armies, so that they will not be so passive when the next war comes.

It is worth mentioning that quite a few civilians from King's Landing ran out and went to Harrenhal. According to the survey, they felt that they could not survive in King's Landing.Due to the expansion of the army, the price of goods in the city has soared, and ordinary people can only eat one meal a day, and some people who are a little bit embarrassed can only eat one meal in two days.

No matter how prosperous King's Landing is, when there is a problem with basic food, the common people at the bottom can only resist or flee.Where is the escape?So they thought of the Bannerless family.

Now the Bannerless family is a special existence in the mainland, because it is a new family and a family formed by a group of poor people.Even the patriarch, Ivy, doesn't have a title in his body, he's just a free mercenary.

And this kind of family is undoubtedly more attractive to the poor, and they also feel that they have more opportunities to stand out, so many talented civilians also voted here. This is what Li Lingyi wants. The most important thing is talents in all aspects.

"Ivy."

As soon as Li Ling was looking at the food storage table in the city, Bailey opened the door and walked in.He looked up, with a smile on his face, and there was a bit of ambiguity in his expression.

"What's wrong?" Li Lingyi asked, "You're smiling so weirdly?"

"News from the Stark family."

Bai Li sat down while talking, looked at Li Lingyi, who was expressionless, and casually asked while reading the report: "What news?"

The Stark family didn't do anything this month, but it is said that they are also recruiting troops, but it is not certain who they will deal with.After all, apart from Lannister, the Iron Islands are also their enemy now.

Theon's destruction of Winterfell was impossible for Robb to forget. Even if the latter was on the Iron Islands, he would definitely want to take revenge one day.Although the hope is a bit slim... it is even more difficult to build a navy.

"It's good news." Bailey said with a rare tone of teasing, "Ivy, you're still single."

"En?" Li Lingyi frowned slightly, looked up at Bailey, "What do you mean?"

"What else do you mean? Although the Stark family didn't say it clearly, the message is obvious. They want to marry their second daughter, Arya Stark, to you."

Aya...

Li Lingyi's expression froze, he laughed and shook his head, "Are you kidding me, she is still a child, only 14 years old this year?"

"So what?" Bailey didn't care too much. "It seems that I want to book it first. After the wedding, we can wait until she comes of age. After all, it's just a formality."

"..."

"Ivy, it's up to you to decide this matter, but I think that if we are allied with Stark and have a stable north, then we can deal with Lannister in the south."

Chapter 486 The Arrival of Catherine

Remember ♂ in a second, update fast, read for free!

When Catherine first proposed the marriage between Arya and Ivy, Robb strongly opposed it.

After all, he once had the idea of ​​attacking Ivy, but now he suddenly wants to marry his sister to him and form an alliance, which is really unacceptable.

However, Catherine persuaded him for three days in a row, explaining the stakes, and the generals under him also agreed with the proposal, so in the end he accepted it although he still had some emotional reluctance.

Because there are too many enemies of the Stark family now, the Lannister, Iron Islands, Ayrin family, if you add the Bannerless family, it will really be a bit overwhelming.

Robb himself is self-aware, if he is in the northern border, he will naturally not be afraid of anyone, but opponents in other territories, even if he wants to attack Lannister now, he has to borrow from Li Lingyi, because the Twin River City is no longer belongs to him.

So, after asking his sister's opinion, Robb finally agreed, so Catherine came forward to send the message this time.

Robb has also been a little embarrassed since he had an argument with Li Lingyi last time, not to mention that his character is too straightforward, and if the quarrel is not good, it will make the relationship worse, so it is better to let Catherine come forward.

At this time in Harrenhal, Li Ling also fell into a kind of hesitation after hearing Beric's words.

As he said, he really needs a stable north, not a wolf that may bite him from the back at any time.

If they ally with Stark, the Ayrin family will be directly surrounded by the two families, and the Tully family will definitely join the alliance along the way, and the Ayrin family will have no choice at that time.

Surrounded by families from the same alliance on three sides, the Eagle's Nest City has only two choices, one is to fight, and the other is to join the alliance.But choosing the former also meant that if Li Lingyi wanted to make a move, the Eagle's Nest City would be in for a hard fight immediately.
