Now that I'm Marshall is there a way for me to start wars?

I just got voted as Marshall of the Nords and I want to go take some towns but the damn King won't start any wars. I tried getting a quest to instigate war and I completed it, I lost a couple relation points with every lord except the one who gave me the quest, but then I waited around for like 20 days and still no war. Seeing as I'm Marshall can I just call for a campaign and start killing shit? Or can I order the King to go besiege an enemy castle or something to start a war? Or do I need to wait for the King to declare war?

Also if I can't declare war I was thinking about just starting my own faction, I'm lord of 4 or 5 castles all near each other and a couple fiefs, no towns though, I'm pretty rich with a lot of businesses, strong garrisons, and a 100 man army of mostly Swadian Knights and Man at Arms that I can switch for Nord infantry and assorted archers from my garrisons when I want to take something, and have good relations with a couple of powerful lords. Good idea? Haven't ever gotten this far in the game before. If I leave the Nords will I lose all the castles they've granted me or can I keep them? I've made the Nords pretty powerful we already conquered the Vaegirs and took a lot of Swadian land so I figured targeting a weaker faction would be better than rebelling.

Thanks for any answers.
