Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

Chapter 17: Dancing with wolves

Just as Daves was preparing for his battlefield hospital intensively, the Persian messengers came to the Greek military camp. This time the messenger was not someone else. It was the most familiar Persian general of the princes, the Governor of Asia Minor, Tissa Funis, who It brings hope that the Greeks can return home safely: they are willing to convey to the Persian king the willingness of the leaders to be unwilling to fight and only want to go home.

The leaders welcomed him with pleasure.

After Tissa Funnis left, the mercenary leaders saw hope for a peaceful settlement and were eagerly awaiting him to come again.

After anxiously waiting for two days, Tisafunis once again came to the Greek military camp to read to the princes the latest will of the Persian king: the king had accepted the apology of the mercenary, although many ministers opposed it, he decided Tisafnis led the Greek mercenaries back to Greece and agreed to provide the Greeks with a market on the way to address their supplies. At the same time, the Greeks must also abide by the local order along the way, without damaging and looting...

The leaders certainly did not want it. They and Tisafunis soon reached an agreement, and both sides made an oath in the name of God. Then, Tissa Funis warned the leaders to wait patiently, he would go back to report to the king, and also make arrangements for the return of the army.

Tisafunis left soon, and the news spread throughout the military camp, and the soldiers cheered.

Davers’s heart still did not relax his vigilance. Although I heard the color of the last time, I realized that the actual situation of Persia and his own guess based on Chinese history are quite different.

Just yesterday, Ilopron visited again. After a few days of buffering, he finally adjusted his mind and wanted to talk to Dafos about the city-state democracy. Daves did not want to continue to entangle on this issue, but the topic was cleverly directed to the customs of the Greek city-states.

Most of the time, Idoline is talking incessantly, and Davis listens carefully. In the meantime, Davers asked Tisafunis, so Irofen said something about the Tisafnis he heard from Prokhsinus and made Davis remember.

When Tissa Funnis served as Governor of Asia Minor, it was the time of the Peloponnesian War. Tissaforus chose to form an alliance with Sparta. He hoped to use the power of Sparta to fight Athens and restore Persian love. The rule of the Greek city-state on the coast of Oia, and the return of Sparta is that he wants to fund Sparta to build a huge fleet that is enough to fight against Athens. Not long after, he stopped the money support promised to Sparta, causing the Spartans to protest to the then Persian king Darius II, and Darius appointed the second son of Cyrus as the entire Persian. The military commander in the west fully supports Sparta against Athens.

Tisafunis was disarmed, but he did not seem to care. He got along very well with Little Cyrus and soon became a friend of Little Cyrus. When the new king Artaxerxes was in the throne and the little Cyrus went to the capital to participate in the big brother's inauguration ceremony, Tissa Funis told the new king that the small Cyrus had to rebel, resulting in the arrest of the little Cyrus, and the Queen Mother repeatedly pleaded. Only released.

After Tissa Funis returned to Asia Minor, he began to work with Little Cyrus. Therefore, when the little Cyrus was rebellious, the first thing he wanted to catch was him. As a result, he had already escaped and then appeared in the king's crusade. When the left wing of the Kings was defeated by the Greek heavy infantry, Tisafnis dared to lead the cavalry to bypass the heavy infantry and attack the Greek army's back team. Although he failed, his courage and determination naturally seemed to be outstanding in a group of defeated soldiers. Therefore, he can represent the king as a Persian messenger and conduct peace talks with the Greek army. This is obviously a king's praise to him.

What Daves heard about Tissafoni was heard by Xenophon from Prokhsinus, and most of Prokhsinus came from Little Cyrus, regardless of his symmetry. What is the likes and dislikes of Safnis, the facts are facts. Therefore, after the analysis, Daves is considered to be a typical politician, who is accustomed to two sides and three knives, who are good at judging the situation and daring to seize the opportunity. It is hard for such a person to expect him to keep his promise!

When Davos told Xenophon about this concern, Xenophon sighed. He said: "Plock Sinaus is very clear that they will not relax their vigilance against Tissaforus, but if they don't give up If the Persian kings are fighting, we may not be able to go home. It is only the Euphrates and Tigris that can cause us a lot of trouble. We cannot cross the wide river in front of the enemy. Another big difficulty is that there is not enough Food. Once we “collect” food, scattered soldiers are vulnerable to enemy attacks...

You see, the Persian king has such a big advantage. If you really want to destroy us, there is absolutely no need to give it to us, and let Tissa Funis swear on behalf of him in the name of God. Because once he breaks the contract in the future, he will not only be ridiculed by the Persians and the Greeks, but will also be abandoned by the Persian gods. He really wants to become a king without faith in the moment! Therefore, we can only believe in them, and only cooperate with them to ensure that we can go home safely! ”

Davers saw that Xenophon said this, more like convincing himself, and secretly sighed: Greek mercenaries are in a weak position, so even if the other party gives "poison", they have to swallow.

..............................

Day by day, the field hospital of Davers has taken shape, and the 12 wounded have been carefully treated and treated, and seven people have improved significantly.

For the rest of the day, Davers learned the Greek text from Xenophon and entrusted Melsisch, who went out to buy it, to bring back a few linens, cut it into slender strips, and began experimenting with how to tie leggings. At the same time, pull teammates and him to practice, learn to kill skills, so that consciousness and body memory can be unified.

Due to the recovery of Assisi and the Mei Nong soldiers, his relationship with Antonios became intimate. He visited Antonios many times and asked him for the formation of heavy infantry and command experience... In order to understand the long handle The skill of using the blade knife, he also learned from the light shields to gain an in-depth understanding of the characteristics of this unit.

The success of the Battlefield Hospital has made the reputation of Davis's "God of the Gods" deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and his modest and eager learning has won everyone's goodwill. As he walked through the entire Menon Barracks, almost no one knew him.

Day by day, the Persians have not appeared, and uneasiness and suspicion have gradually enveloped the entire Greek military camp. Davers used his busy day to dilute his worries and his inability to change the plight of the Greek mercenaries, prompting him to change himself and enrich himself.

.................................

After a long wait of more than 20 days, Tisafnis led his army to finally come to ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ with him also the Governor of Armenia, Otatas and his army.

The Greek mercenary leaders, who were anxiously waiting for a long time, led the army and they set foot on their return home with almost no doubt.

The situation can be changed at the beginning of the march. The army of Alijos, who had been warming up with the Greek mercenaries and intimately, began to walk with the Persian army, not only marching together, but also camping together. In the past twenty days, the Persians were not idle. They constantly sent Ari Rouss and other relatives and friends to and from the barracks of Alijos, and promised not to pursue their guilt, and finally made small The generals of Cyrus were convinced.

This undoubtedly increased the suspicions of the Greek mercenaries, who were far behind the Persian team, acted alone, and led themselves. At the time of the camp at dusk, the Greek army and the Persians were ten miles apart, setting up guard posts against each other, as if they were treating the enemy.

Tissa Funis did indeed fulfill his promise and provided the market to the Greeks every day. Of course, the mercenaries have to pay for themselves.

Menon also wanted to give the team of Hilos less food, in order to retaliate against Davers, who knows that Mercy's opposition. Before Melsis was taken by Daphus to leave two Egyptian female slaves, he was still very reluctant.

Who knows that soon Daves gave him a Chinese massage with a trained Egyptian slave girl, and he became addicted. He went to the battlefield hospital every day to ask for a massage, and he said that it was a slave who owed him. The cost is paid off. He still hopes that after returning to Greece, let Dafos pass this unique technique to him to buy * then his brothel will be overcrowded. Therefore, he will not only offend Daves, but he will satisfy most of Daves' demands as much as possible.
