Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece - Chapter 1135
[Chapter 84]
Davos coughed lightly and said seriously: “Peropidas, someone told me that Thebes can regain its independence, and can fight against the Spartans for many years, with a slight advantage. It played an important role!”
Pelopidas was refreshed, he felt a trace of goodwill revealed by Davos in these words, and immediately replied humbly: “Thebes can have today, it is all The result of the common struggle of the citizens who love Thebes, I just used all my strength as they did. And what I have done is nothing compared to the mighty kingdom you have created ”
You are too modest.” Davos smiled slightly. Apart from Plato, this was the first time he had heard such a high evaluation of himself from a powerful figure in the Greek mainland. He felt slightly complacent, so he tapped the armrest and asked. “What are you coming to
Turii
this time for?” “Your Majesty the King.” Pelopidas said solemnly: “Ten days ago, Thebes was invited to Sparta to discuss a truce.
The war lasted for so many years, the land of Thebes was wantonly destroyed by the Spartans, the people’s life was very hard, we were very willing to stop the war and restore peace.
But during the negotiation Athens betrayed us, they Join hands with the Spartans, with the strong support of the Persians, to pressure us together to force us to dissolve the Pioxia League, while their own alliance was preserved through such a contract…
” Lopidas briefly recounted the general content of the contract, and then said angrily: “Our messengers resisted the pressure and did not sign the contract, because once they agreed to their demands and disbanded the Pioxia League, Wan Wan Once again Sparta broke the contract and attacked Thebes with which we would not be able to fight.Because
of our refusal, the Persians threatened us that they would fully support Sparta and deal harshly with Thebes The punishment… So today I came to Turii to seek support from Dionia on behalf of Thebes!”
After Pelopidas finished speaking, he saw Davos sitting firmly on the throne with his hand on his chin, silently speaking, so he continued: “Before this peace talks, because I heard that Sparta and Athens have sent people one after another. I went to Persia to seek support, and I also went to Babylon as an envoy from Thebes, and was summoned by the king of
Persia. In front of our three envoys, the king of Persia clearly demanded that we stop the war, and also said, ‘Dai Aonia has ambitions for Greece, and only by uniting the Greek city-states can they resist the invasion of the Dionysian army…’ That’s why the King of Persia sent messengers to vigorously facilitate this peace talks in Sparta.”
Davos said in his heart One move: He doesn’t think Peropidas lied to seek Dionia’s support, because what he said also confirms why Persia had to let Sparta end the peace agreement with Dionia ahead of schedule, It seems that the Persians have already started a game against Dionia!
Thinking of this,
Davos looked at Pelopidas and said slowly, “So do you Thebes think that Dionia is a threat to Greece?”
“I think what the Persian king said is a joke!” Pelopidas said angrily: “The Persians are aliens, and since the beginning of the Hippo-Persian War, they have been delusional about annexing Greek land and enslaving the Greek people. During the years, he never stopped interfering in the political situation of the Greek mainland. Nowadays, there are constant wars in Greece and it has a lot to do with Persia; while Dionia is a kingdom mainly formed by the Greeks. Since its establishment, it has been living in harmony with the Greek mainland. Any strife and war. Who is good and who is bad can be known by comparison.
That is why I have come to implore you, noble king, to lend a hand to help Thebes, to fight the combined forces of Persia and Sparta, and to restore the Greek city-states Freedom and peace are no longer under their control! If Dionia does this, it will not only pre-smash a series of conspiracies against Dionia by the Persians, but also allow Dionia to gain prestige and most of the people in Greece. The support of the city-state!”
Davos nodded, showing embarrassment: “There is some truth to what you said, but… Dionia and Sparta have been friendly for more than ten years, and not long ago I was in Sparta. The Bada Messenger said, ‘There will be no punishment for their premature termination of the friendly agreement—'”
“Your Majesty the King!” Pelopidas immediately persuaded: “Dionia keeps her promise and is famous in the Mediterranean, which is admirable! But in the more than 10 years that you have been earnestly fulfilling the friendly agreement with Sparta, What did the Spartans do?
As far as I know, they violated the agreement and secretly maintained contacts with Syracuse, and took the initiative to take in some remnants of the great Greeks who hated Dionia. During the time of the war, these forces also formed an army and invaded the territory of Dionia. It is difficult to say that there was no Spartan instructing…
The Spartans are insidious and cunning, as long as they benefit, they can do whatever they want. , for Thebes, and also for Dionia. To be faithful with them, like cattle and sheep facing wolves, it is always us who suffer!
And the Spartans tore up the agreement with Dionia It’s been almost a month. During this month, you did not have any hostile actions against Sparta, which can be regarded as fulfilling your promise. In addition, because of this armistice negotiation, the war between Thebes and Sparta It has been stopped for a while, and peace has appeared in the eyes of the Greek people.
If Sparta attacks Thebes again after Dionia and Thebes are allied, it will make the Greek people more aware of the real Who is the perpetrator of the war will also make the people of Dionia more aware of how the Spartans treat Dionia, who has been friendly with them for more than 10 years! Of course, if they can take Dionia into consideration Really restore peace in Greece, I think it will be a good thing for everyone!”
Davos sighed and said, “It seems that the fact that you visited Persia and was treated by the king of Persia is true, you are indeed very persuasive. Pelopidas was overjoyed, but responded modestly:
”
That’s because what I said is the truth.”
Davos finally said sternly: “In this case, I agree with the Kingdom of Dionia and the end of the world. ”
Bis has formed a military alliance, and I hope this time our sincere efforts can be treated sincerely by each other!”
Although Pelopidas had some confidence in gaining Dionia’s support, he did not expect that King Dionia would actually I was willing to form a military alliance with Thebes, and it was hard to suppress the joy in my heart, and my face was full of smiles.
Soon, Dionysian foreign ministers Ancitanos and Pelopidas began to negotiate an alliance.
A day later, Ancitanos came to the palace to report the situation to Davos.
“Peropidas wants us Dionia to support Thebes to unify the Pioxia region?” Davos frowned.
“Yes, Your Majesty. It seems that the Thebes have a strong obsession with this. I heard that when they negotiated a contract in Sparta, it was because Sparta forced them to dissolve the Thebes alliance, which led to the negotiation. Broken…” Ancitanos reminded politely.
Davos tapped the wooden table with his hand, pondered for a while, and said, “Promise him.”
Ancitanos hadn’t responded yet, and Henipolis, who was beside him, asked with some doubts: “Your Majesty, from Judging from the current situation, Sparta will definitely launch an attack on Thebes again. Our alliance with Thebes at this time has already given huge support to the Thebes, and now we need to help them unify their skin. Osha, isn’t this a bit—”
“A bit too high for Thebes?” Davos took his words and said seriously: “Herney, you should take a longer view, don’t Just staring at this small interest in front of us, even if the Thebans really unified the Pioxia region, that little land area is only equivalent to the Mesapi, Puchetti and other regions, and it will not cause us any harm. Threat. But in order to achieve this goal, the Thebes dared to fight against Sparta, Athens, and Persia, which shows how important it is to the Thebes! We can help them, and we will naturally get their double gratitude. It will be of great help for us to have a foothold in Greece in the future!
What’s more, let our allies be stronger and be able to compete with Greek powers such as Athens and Sparta, and it will be of great help for our Dionia to enter Greece in the future. It is more helpful and more conducive to the stability of the Greek mainland order…”
“Your Majesty, you are thinking long-term!” Henepolis exclaimed convincingly.

Davos didn’t accept him, he pointed at Ancitanos, and said, “You, you just didn’t think about it, when your teacher came to report to me, he had already considered these pros and cons, and he knew in his heart. Lah
.”
Henepolis immediately looked at Ancitanos.
Ancitanos said calmly: “Your Majesty, Henepolis is not an official of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. It is impossible for him to understand the intricate relationships of the Greek city-states in detail, and it is impossible to think about how to get benefits from it every day like us. How can you make a very correct judgment…”
“Heney, did you see that, your teacher still cares about you.” Davers said jokingly, with a smile on his face, he suddenly remembered something, serious Said: “But you are right just now, Dionia gave Thebes such great support and should get more in return. Ancitanos, when your foreign ministry was negotiating with Pelopidas , you can also attach requirements to the covenant, such as when Dionia takes military action in the Greek mainland, Thebes must give full support, etc…”
