Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece - Chapter 1154

[Chapter 103 Thessaly and Thebes Reaction]

“You mean that the Helots in our territory will rebel under the influence of it?!” Archie Dams’ expression became solemn: the rebellion of Helots is not without precedent. The second and third times That’s how the Sub-Messerian War happened.

“Father, after you go back, you should propose to the council to strengthen the control of Helots, and if necessary, carry out more hunting and killing to achieve the purpose of shocking and deterring.”

Archie Damus said about the random massacre of Helots. As easy as slaughtering cattle and sheep, Agesilaus did not feel strange, but nodded in agreement.

Agesilaus continued: “On the way to the wharf, I also saw the Dionians transporting baggage to the camp, not only a large number of carts and laborers, but also some soldiers, officers and Craftsmen, they are mainly responsible for escort, command and maintenance. Although the entire transportation team is relatively large, it is very orderly, and there is no chaos in sight… I have long heard that the Dionysian army is also specially equipped with transportation teams. This time I have seen it with my own eyes—”

“Father, it’s not a big deal that the Dionian army has a special transport team, don’t the Persians also have them, haven’t they been defeated many times by us! (The Greeks usually fight by the soldiers themselves) Ration, during the battle, if the ration is almost exhausted, either scrape the local food, or the commander will come forward to open a market near the station, and merchants from all over the country will bring food and supplies to the station to facilitate the soldiers to buy) ”

Archie Dames said disapprovingly: “Look at what father you said, it’s a hospital and a transport team. I think the Dionysians have provided such good logistical support for the army. Can their soldiers still endure hardship? You know. The victory of the war is ultimately determined on the battlefield, and only an army that has undergone hard training and is not afraid of death can win the final victory!”

Archidamus is obviously full of confidence in the combat effectiveness of the Spartans, Agsilau Sparta had to say in a deep voice: “I say this to tell you that the Dionysian army is different from the other Greek city-state armies we have encountered before, and we must treat it carefully, today’s Sparta can’t stand it anymore. A failure…cough…cough…”

“You’re right, I see. You’ve just been injured, so you need to rest well and stop talking.” Archie Damus told a few words, then turned and walked towards the bow.

Agesilaus sighed helplessly, he saw his son’s perfunctory, that’s why he was already in his 60s, frail and sick, and he had to lead the army to fight everywhere. So relieved!

He looked at the distant shore, thinking about what he had seen at the Dionysian barracks, his face became more worried, and the thought came up again in his heart: If Leoticides can really return Arriving

at Sparta

………………………………………………

Mukru returned to the camp,

entered the tent, and found that Leoticides was still sitting in the main seat, motionless, He seemed to be thinking about something.

He stepped forward and said softly, “Lord Commander, that… the Spartan messenger is all right after being treated by the medical camp and has left by boat…”

Leoticides seemed to have recovered at this moment. Come, look up at him, and ask, “What did you say?”

Mukru coughed lightly: “The Spartan messenger has been sent away.”

Leoticides nodded, did not speak, the whole People are immersed in thinking.

Although Leoticides had the habit of often falling into contemplation during the war, Mukru, who had worked with him for many years, still felt that there was something wrong with him at this moment. The incident also made a joke to Leoticides, saying that Leoticides was always thinking about how to defeat the enemy, but this momentum affected those around him.

Could it be that he was thinking now… that his uncle… Just as Mukru was thinking about it, Leoticides’ voice sounded in his ear: “Get me a paper and a pen.”

Mukru After hurriedly bringing it, he asked, “What order do you want to give?”

Leoticides looked at him, and his calm tone became more firm: “There is no order, I want to write a letter to His Majesty.” The

slightly disturbed Mukru didn’t ask more and walked out of the tent. .

The papyrus was spread out on the table, and the pen was inked, but Leoticides was slow to write, alternated in his mind with images of his mother’s suicide and of Agesilaus kneeling in front of him. It can be said that Agesilaus’ visit this time caused him great trouble, not because he completely believed Agesilaus’ words, but because Agesilaus kneeled down to admit his mistake and cut him off. The sword of Agathilaus has made his many years of hatred disappear, but at this moment, his heart is empty and empty, and those pictures of life in Sparta have also been tossed out from the depths of memory…

In fact, for so many years in Dionia, Leoticides has always maintained the pride of being a Spartan warrior in his heart, but now this pride has suddenly turned into a complicated attachment to his hometown, which has caused him to lose his life in This desire to fight, and he is also very clear that after this incident, other generals and soldiers are more suspicious of him, leading such an army to fight in such a state, the result may be very bad!

Leoticides took a deep breath and lifted the pen resolutely.

………………………………………………

The messengers of the Arcadian League had no choice but to turn to Thebes after their request for help from Athens was rejected.

At this time, the news of “The Dionysian army captured Messenia” spread throughout the Peloponnese and quickly spread to central and northern Greece.

Jason, who has been paying close attention to the situation in the south, quickly learned the news and was very surprised. In the past, he had heard about this newly emerging Western Mediterranean force, but he did not feel deeply. After all, this country’s influence on the mainland of Greece The power was minimal, but this time it dared to declare war directly on Sparta, and it also gained an advantage, which made him realize that Dionia’s power was probably not a lie, so he suspended the military operations that were being prepared and decided to first. Observe the development of the situation in the south and make plans.

He sent a lot of spies to the Peloponnese to check for news, and he tried his best to collect information about the kingdom of Dionia. He came to analyze the situation in the south, so he reduced the number of visits to the military camp outside the city, so that he lived in the city safely on the day he was assassinated and killed in his previous life.

For the Thebes government, the Arcadia Confederation’s emissary’s request left them in a dilemma, whether to follow the “enemy’s enemy is a friend” approach or from a strategic point of view, the formation of the Arcadia Alliance It is a great thing for Thebes. It greatly weakens the power of Sparta. As long as Thebes and the Arcadia alliance can unite, they can completely suppress Sparta in the Peloponnese. .

However, Thessaly in the north is fighting fiercely, and the news about “Jason is going to lead his army south” is rampant. Even Thebes, who had allied with Jason, felt great pressure and sent messengers to Philae. To find out, but Jason always perfunctory and did not give a clear answer, which made Thebes more wary.

Even Peropidas and Ipamironda insisted on sending reinforcements to support the Arcadia Alliance, but they were strongly opposed by the rest of the council, and their reasons were very good: in the event that the safety of Thebes could not be ensured Next, the citizens of Thebes who have already suffered a bereavement will never agree to join the army and leave the Pioxia region, nor will other Pioxia city-states allied with Thebes for the same reason Send reinforcements.

In the previous life, Thebes also hesitated about this matter for a long time. It was not until Jason was assassinated and Thessaly had civil strife that Thebes decided to reinforce the Arcadia Alliance.

In this life, Jason has been safe and sound. Although the military mobilization in Thessaly has stopped, the pressure has always existed. How dare Thebes be careless.

But when the news of “Dionia’s capture of Messenia” came, the people of Thebes were overjoyed and deeply felt: Compared with the ally in the north, which may turn against the enemy at any time, the kingdom in the west, which has just formed an alliance, Undoubtedly more reliable.

After the battle of Leuctra, the Thebes, headed by Ipamironda, wanted to take advantage of this victory to expand the victory, but due to Jason’s obstruction and other reasons, they reluctantly fought with Sba. Da signed the armistice contract, and he was actually very unwilling in his heart. Now Dionia has directly dealt a heavy blow to Sparta’s nest, and the Spartans will inevitably turn the focus of the attack to Dionia’s army, Thebes The military pressure on the north and south sides that they were facing suddenly was greatly relieved, and the excited Thebes decided to send envoys to Messenia to express their condolences to the Dionysian army.

Ipamironda volunteered.

At the same time, Peropidas solemnly told the envoy of the Arcadia alliance: Although Thebes could not support the Arcadia alliance for the time being, Thebes sympathized with the plight of the Arcadia people and was willing to recognize Akka The Dialian Alliance is also willing to form an alliance with it, and will also send messengers to Messenia to persuade the Alliance Diaonia to assist the Arcadian Alliance to repel the upcoming invasion of the Spartans.

The Arcadia messenger group was excited to hear this, and the whole messenger group immediately divided into two parts: one part stayed in Thebes to discuss the alliance, and the other part followed the Thebes messenger group south to Messenia.

“I didn’t expect this Prosous to be the Prince of Sparta!” In the palace council room, Davos tapped a stack of letters, These letters are all from the army in Messenia. There are secret reports from the intelligence department, letters from Olivers and other army commanders, letters from military judges… The top letter is Leoticides wrote it himself.
