Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

While Daveus was preparing his battlefield hospital, the Persian messengers came to the Greek military camp. This time the messengers came to no other people. It was the Persian general who was most familiar with the chiefs-The Governor of Asia Minor, Tisavonis, he Brought the hope of the Greeks to return home safely: willing to convey to the King of Persia that the leaders did not want to fight, just want to go home.

The leaders welcomed him happily.

After Tisavonis left, the mercenary leaders saw that there was hope for a peaceful settlement, and were anxiously looking forward to his arrival again.

After anxiously waiting for two days, Tisavonis came to the Greek military camp again and read out the latest intention of the Persian king to the chiefs: the king has accepted the mercenary’s apology. Although many ministers opposed it, he decided to decide Tisavonis led the Greek mercenaries back to Greece and agreed to provide a market for the Greeks on the way to solve their provision.At the same time, the Greeks must also abide by the local order along the way, without sabotage and robbery...

The leaders of course were desperate, and they quickly reached an agreement with Tisavonis, and both parties made an oath in the name of God.Then, Tisavonis warned the leaders to wait patiently, he would go back to report to the king, and make arrangements for the return of the army.

Soon after Tisafnis left, the news spread throughout the barracks, and the soldiers cheered.

Davers still did not relax his guard.Although he heard the words of Serofin last time, he realized that there are many discrepancies between the actual situation in Persia and his own guesses based on Chinese history.

Just yesterday, Serofin visited again. After a few days of buffering, he finally adjusted his mind and wanted to talk to Davers again about the issue of the city-state democratic system.However, Davers did not want to continue to entangle on this issue, but led the topic skillfully to the customs of the Greek city-states.

Most of the time, Serofin was talking incessantly, and Daveus listened carefully.In the meantime, Daphes asked Tisavonis, and then Serofen said something about Tisavonis that he heard from Proccinus, which made Davos remember deeply.

When Tisafnis served as the governor of Asia Minor, it was at the time of the Peloponnesian War that Tisafnis chose to form an alliance with Sparta. He hoped to use Sparta’s power to strike Athens and restore Persia’s love for love. The reign of the Greek city-state on the coast of Onia, and Sparta received the reward of funding Sparta to build a large fleet sufficient to fight against Athens.It didn't take long before he stopped the pledged financial support for Sparta, which caused the Spartans to protest against the then King of Persia, Darius II, and Darius appointed his second son, Cyrus, as the entire Persian. The military commander in the west fully supported Sparta against Athens.

Tisavonis was relieved of his military power, but he didn't seem to care. He got along well with Little Jurus and soon became a friend of Little Jurus.When the new king Alta Xerxes took the throne, and Little Cyrus went to the capital to participate in the big brother's inauguration ceremony, Tisavonis told the new king that little Julius was in rebellion, which led to the arrest of the little Julius, and the empress repeatedly pleaded, Before being released.

And after returning to Asia Minor, Tisavonis began to fight against Cyrus everywhere.Therefore, when the little Cyrus started the rebellion, the first thing he wanted to catch was him. As a result, he escaped long ago, and then appeared in the king's army of crusade.When the left wing of the king's army was crushed by Greek heavy infantry, Tisavonis dared to lead the cavalry to bypass the heavy infantry phalanx and attack the rear of the Greek army.Although it failed, his courage and determination naturally became outstanding among a group of defeated soldiers, so he can represent the king and conduct peace talks with the Greek army as a Persian messenger. This is obviously the king's praise to him.

What Dapheus heard about Tisavonis was that Xenophon had heard from Proccinus, and most of Proccinus had news from Cyrus Jr. Facts are what facts about Savonis.Therefore, after analysis, Davers believes that Tisavonis is a typical politician, accustomed to two sides and three swordsman, good at judging the situation and dare to seize the opportunity.Such a person would be hard to expect him to keep his promise!

When Daphes told Xenophon about this worry, Xenophon sighed. He said: "They all know very well, they will not relax their vigilance against Tisavonis, but if they do not give up In the battle of the Persian king, we may not be able to go home. The Euphrates and Tigris rivers alone can cause us great trouble. We cannot cross such a wide river in front of the enemy. Another big difficulty is that there is not enough Food. Once we go to "collect" food, scattered soldiers are easily attacked by the enemy...

You see, the Persian king has such a great advantage. If we really want to destroy us, there is no need to give us support again, and let Tisavonis swear on his behalf 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 rejected by the Persian gods. Does he really want to be a king without loyalty as soon as he takes office?Therefore, we can only trust them, and only work with them to ensure that we go home safely!"

Daphus looked good at Novin's remarks, more like convincing himself, and secretly sighed: the Greek mercenaries were in a weak position, so even if the other party gave "poison", they had to swallow it.

…………………………

As the days passed by, the field hospital in Davers had already taken shape, and 12 of the wounded had undergone meticulous care and treatment, and seven had a significant improvement.

In the remaining time, Daphes learned Greek writing from Xenophon, and entrusted Mercer to buy some linens, cut them into slender strips, and began to test how to beat leggings.At the same time, the teammates practiced with him to learn fighting skills, so that consciousness and body memory can be unified.

Due to the recovery of Yasistes and the incident of Maynon soldiers, his relationship with Antonios became intimate. He visited Antonios many times and asked him about the formation and command experience of heavy infantry... In order to understand the long-handed inversion He also learned from the light shield soldiers on the use of blades and knives to understand the characteristics of this armament.

The success of the Battlefield Hospital has made Davis's reputation as a "beloved" deeply rooted, and his modesty and learning have won everyone's favor.As his footsteps traversed the entire Mennon Barracks, almost no one did not know him.

As the days passed, the Persians never appeared, and the restlessness and suspicion gradually enveloped the entire Greek military camp.Daveus used his busy days to calm down his worries and was unable to change the plight of the Greek mercenaries, prompting him to change and enrich himself as much as possible.

……………………………

After a long wait of more than twenty days, the army led by Tisavonis finally arrived. He was accompanied by the governor of Armenia, Oljontas, and his army.

The leaders of the Greek mercenaries who were anxiously waiting for a long time led the army with them on their return journey with little doubt.

But as soon as the march started, the situation changed.The army of Arius, who was originally warmed up with the Greek mercenaries, began to walk with the Persian army, not only marching together, but also camping together.In the past twenty days or so, the Persians have not been idle. They have constantly sent Aliros and relatives and friends of other generals into and out of the military barracks of Aliros. They promised not to hold him accountable, and finally made the small Cyrus' generals were persuaded.

This undoubtedly increased the suspicion of the Greek mercenaries, who were far behind the Persian ranks, acting alone, and brought their own guides.When it was time to camp at dusk, the Greek army and the Persians were ten miles apart, setting up guards with each other as if they were treating the enemy.

Tisavonis did fulfill his promise to provide markets for the Greeks every day.Of course, mercenaries have to pay for it themselves.

Menon also wanted to send less food to Hilos's team in order to retaliate against Daveus, who had been opposed by Melses.Before Mercys was going to take two Egyptian slave girls by Daphes, he was very reluctant,

Unexpectedly, Davis gave him a Chinese massage with a trained Egyptian female slave, and he became addicted. He went to the battlefield hospital every day to request a massage. He also said that this was for the slave who owed him. Expenses to pay the debt.He also hoped that after returning to Greece, let Daves teach this unique technique to the *** he bought. Then his brothel would definitely be overcrowded.Therefore, not only will he not offend Daves now, but he will meet most of Daphes's requirements as much as possible.
