Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece - Chapter 1157
[Chapter 106 Father and Son Talking Hearts]
Antebris had to shut his mouth aggrieved.
Unexpectedly, Cristoia’s roar frightened Krotokatax’s youngest son, who was only over one year old, and he burst into tears.
“Mother, can you speak more quietly?!” Dido, who was feeding the child, said suddenly dissatisfied.
If Dido usually spoke to her in this manner, Cristoia would have been dissatisfied, but now seeing her beloved grandson crying, she felt ashamed, and quickly said with concern: “Be careful, Don’t let him choke!”
Eunice let out a “puchi” laugh.
Cristoia turned to look at her: “You are married, and you are not serious all day long!”
“Mother, what you said is wrong! I am busy in the chamber of commerce during the day, and I am exhausted to death! , I finally relax during dinner, and I have to be criticized by you, the pressure is too much, or from tomorrow, I will quit and enjoy myself at home?!” Eunice immediately expressed her dissatisfaction.
Cristoia was speechless for a while, then turned to look at Antebris again: “How old are you, you are still single! At your age, your eldest and second brothers are already married and have children! How many senior ministers have come to the door? You refused to propose a marriage for you. You know about training and training every day. Do you want to marry rugby?!”
“Grandma, my classmates at school say that my uncle is very good at rugby, and they adore him very much!” Cynthia The eldest son interjected loudly.
“Don’t talk, eat well!” Cynthia quickly reprimanded her son in a low voice.
Getting praise from the younger generation, Antebris was very proud, but when he saw Cristoia staring at him, he quickly acted aggrieved: “Mother, I don’t always follow your request. Have you met? However, it is true that I was not shot by the golden arrow of Eros, so there is nothing I can do about it. Besides, it is not only me who is not married, Ivia is not too young, isn’t she also married? !”
Aviya, who was eating quietly, immediately blushed: “Third brother, you—I…I…”
“Little Ante, you bullied Ivia again!” Eunice immediately rebuked loudly.
“Hey, I said, don’t call me that!” Briantes roared in dissatisfaction.
” You
two have nothing to do!” Clotokatax finally couldn’t help but shouted loudly: “Can you have a quiet meal?! Whoever makes a fool of himself, he will go out first!
”
Both Ness and Briantes dined with their heads bowed.
Davos saw it in his eyes and nodded secretly in his heart: The eldest son, who was once mild-mannered, became dignified after a few years of tempering.
“You also go back to your seats and finish your dinner well,” Clotokatax said to the children gathered around Briantes, although his attitude was mild, except for His own child, Christopher, was ignored by the other children.
At this time, Apox said to them: “You have to finish your dinner, and I will let Uncle Ant continue to tell you his story, okay?”
“Okay!!” The children immediately ran back to themselves seat.
“Second brother, you are still the best.” Clotokatax praised.
Apox smiled: “Brother, you have been away from Turui for many years. The children are not familiar with you. After a long time, they will listen to you.” The
two smiled at each other.
After dinner, when the moon was shining and the stars were shining, Cristoia asked the servants to light candles in the yard, and Agnes, Cynthia, Eunice, Ivia, Nelia (Apox’s wife), Molina chatted in the gazebo in the garden, and the children surrounded Briantes, listening to his vivid storytelling… The whole yard was full of laughter, a harmonious and lively scene.
Apox returned to his mansion alone and continued his daytime research.
Clotokatax was called to the study by Davos.
“I haven’t had a good chat with you since you came back.” Davos motioned for his son to sit down, and then asked pleasantly, “Returning to Turii for the past few days, do you feel comfortable?
” At home, with you, your two mothers, and your brothers and sisters, Dido and I are very happy.” Clotokataxes paused and said frankly: “I just feel a little too idle. Now
, I’m a little uncomfortable.”
“It seems that you still have some complaints.” Davos said sternly, seeing that his son was eager to explain, he waved his hand and said with a smile, “I wanted you to rest for a while. After a few days, assist me in managing state affairs, but today Henipolis gave me an offer—”
Seeing that Davos suddenly stopped talking, Clotokataxes didn’t ask any urgent questions, and saw Davos after a while. Still didn’t speak, and then asked: “What is the suggestion?”
Davos did not respond immediately, and instead asked: “What do you think about the kingdom’s sending troops to Peloponnese?
” After thinking about it for a while, he said unhurriedly: “Although this time is different from previous wars, we sent troops on our own initiative, but in fact Sparta has been hostile to us for a long time. During the Western Mediterranean War, the entire Apu The invasion of the Ria region is the Spartans’ secret evil. Taking advantage of this favorable opportunity for the decline of the Spartans’ power, we send troops to completely eradicate this hidden danger, which is good for the security of the kingdom.
“Although Sparta is a The hegemon of the Greek mainland, but Greece has always been at war, and it is the culprit.
Greece and the Kingdom are separated by a narrow Adriatic Sea. In the long run, Greece, which is constantly at war, will not benefit the Kingdom. By conquering Sparta this time, we can gradually intervene in the political situation of Greece and eventually dominate Greece. To restore peace and prosperity, thus defeat the conspiracy of the Persians, and make Greece a powerful barrier to the east of the kingdom…”
Davos was very happy when he heard this: “Well said!
It seems that you are not only immersed in heavy tasks, but also pay attention to the situation around the kingdom, and have thought carefully and have your own opinions, which is good!
”
Clotokatax was a little embarrassed: “In Rome, I was sometimes invited to a banquet by Lord Asistes, and I learned a lot from him.”
“Good at learning from others, and then turning beneficial things into My own, this is also very good!” Davos nodded in admiration, and then asked: “Do you think we can defeat Sparta in this expedition to Peloponnese?
” He answered without hesitation: “I can definitely return in triumph!”
“Oh, so confident?”
“Father, when the Gallic army invaded Etrunia a few years ago, the people of Rome were very panicked, and so did I. But I didn’t. After a long time, not only the Gaul army was destroyed, but even the entire Gaul region in the mountains was conquered by us.” Clotokatax said enthusiastically: “Although Patroclus played a big role in the whole war However, at the time I was in Rome to raise food and grass materials for the army, and I realized more deeply how powerful the kingdom was.
At the beginning of the war, the food and military supplies brought in from the south quickly filled the warehouses of the city of Rome. 10 The army of Wan was quickly formed and transported by countless ships, and successfully landed on the territory of the Gauls. The Gauls feared by the forces in north-central Italy were conquered by us in just a few months… …
So although the Spartans have a long-standing reputation for their bravery in the Eastern Mediterranean, their territory is far less than that of the Gauls, and their population is far less than that of the Gauls. Our war with Sparta is more like a duel between adults and children. , how long it will take to conquer it depends on how much power we put into it.”
“Yes, the key to the victory of the war is the strength of the country!” Davos was a little surprised, he did not expect Clotoccata Cox’s glimpse into the nature of war through the Gallic War is a great relief to him, and he feels that the decision to make it rooted in Rome was the right one.
At this moment, he smiled even more and said, “What do you think of Henepolis’ suggestion that you be the commander-in-chief of the expedition to Greece?”
Clotokatax asked in surprise: “The commander of that army is not Prosous?!”
“Prosusus was the son of the former king of Sparta, Archis. After Agesilaus succeeded to the throne, he fled to Dionia and became incognito. This time he led an expedition and was recognized in Messenia. The generals and soldiers of the entire army know about it, and now that the military’s heart is fluctuating, he himself has proposed to me that he wants to resign as the commander, and soon the Ministry of Military Affairs will transfer him back to Turii.”
“Father, UU reading .
www.sonicmtl.com General Prosous has lived in the kingdom for more than 20 years and has made great military exploits. Just because he is a prince of Sparta, we cannot do it to him—”
“Don’t worry, Prosaus’s affairs are self-sufficient. There is a public opinion. It’s about you now, don’t change the subject. ” Davers said rudely.
Clotokatax had to look directly at the problem, he hesitated for a while before saying frankly: “Father, the only time I went to the battlefield was when I conquered Rome many years ago. How can you be able to command tens of thousands of soldiers and convince them that you have never been a team captain? Father, I’m not you… You don’t have the ability to command the army to win every battle. It’s a
joke.”
Davos listened carefully, and when his son finished speaking, he said gently: “I’ll tell you a story… There is a vast kingdom in the far east, but due to the incompetence of the king, this There was a civil strife in the kingdom, and two forces were fighting for the throne. The leader of one force was a victorious general; The general lost all battles, but in the end he defeated the general’s forces, became king, and established a more powerful kingdom…”
