Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

This is scratching Fibidas’s itch. He really thought about the problem. He pondered: "You should not continue to attack Crotone in a step-by-step manner after winning the battle at Siritine, but you should let the army Take a boat around Crotone, bypass Turiri, land directly near Herakliya, meet with the army of Tarantum, capture Herakliya, while Dionysian main force is not in Turri On the occasion of Iraq, he led the army to invade Dionysian territory directly from the north. He did not need to control the empty Amendolara, and went directly to the city of Turiri.

If the Dionysian army plays, it will take the opportunity to destroy it; if it sticks, it can attack the city of Turui.You can successfully capture the city of Crotone. Now that there are more troops from Tarantum, it should not be a problem to capture the city of Turi.At the same time, you can also send a small number of troops to block the exit of the west mountain road, so that the main force led by Davers cannot return in time..."

"The army is going to Herculia by boat?! General Fibidas, don't forget that the Dionysian Fleet is in the mouth of the Krati River, it will definitely rush to the sea to attack our fleet!" Fili Storrs objected.

"You were frightened by Dionysia's crow warship." Fibidas looked disdainful: "I admit that Dionysia's naval tactics are unique, but you underestimated Dionysia. , I did not concentrate all the battleships for the battle, but also adopted my plan. The navy of Syracuse and the warship of Tarantum merged more than three times the number of the Dionysian fleet. The winner will surely be you!... By that time, Syracuse took control of the coast and won the city of Turiy. Even if Davies eventually led his army back to Dionysia, he would face one. A broken alliance!"

"Although the plan of General Fibidas is good, it is based on the fact that we already know the characteristics of the Dionysian fleet and Davos will lead the army to defeat the Samona who has 50,000 troops. And in the field, Davers’ command is too strong, and our army can’t fight it head-to-head... But the fact is, under the circumstances, we all confidently believed that the strength was significantly weaker than Dior in Syracuse. Niya can't stop our attack whether at sea or on land, so the army of Syracuse will attack all the way north!" Philistos retorted, Dionysius nodded slightly.

"Actually, according to my initial advice to Dionysius, Syracuse should not have sent an army to land in Great Greece in order to save Locklear, but should let the South Italian allied forces besiege Locke. With support from the sea, Lockley could not be broken. While using Lockley to hold down the Southern Italian Allied Forces, the Siracusa fleet cut off the sea trade of Dionysia, Crotone, and other city-states in the Western Mediterranean. Ionia’s national strength may not be able to support it for half a year, so it must withdraw its troops from Lockley.

After this, we can concentrate on attacking Lijim first. It is the closest to Sicily but far from Dionysia. Food transportation is a big difficulty, and we must bypass the territory of Lockley and its allies. It is a big difficulty. It is difficult to say whether Dionia can withstand such a huge consumption.Even if Davis really leads the army, we can leave by boat at any time... I’m afraid that Dionia wouldn’t dare to come back to Lijim again, and as long as we capture Lijim, not only do we have Mexico The Sina Strait can levy more war funding, and can also make Sicily and Locle forces together without any worries, and then carry out your original plan of Dionysius, Dionysia will eventually be killed by Thira Kuzha's powerful strength was brought down..." Philistos said endlessly, but it was a regret in his heart.

Fibidas was not angry, but thought about it carefully, and reminded: "The Syracuse Fleet!"

"In my opinion, Dionia is worried about our strong navy in Syracuse, I am afraid that its fleet will be firmly on the coast of Turi, even if it finally goes south, they have not had any actual combat experience. Unfamiliarity will allow us to discover the weaknesses of the crow warships earlier, so as not to be caught off guard by them..." Philistos explained.

"Good! Good! Fibidas, Philistos, your plan is very good! If I implemented it according to your plan, how could it be driven out of Sicily today, hey!" Dionysius With a regretful expression, he then turned his head: "But these methods are no longer useful to deal with the future Dionysia! It is said that Dionysia not only annexed Lockley and its allies, but also annexed Tarantum. , And even acquired Messina, occupying the Catania plains of Sicily; on its north side, the powerful Samonais have succumbed to him. Now, Dionia has Lucania, Great Greece, and cloth Luti, Sicily, the eastern and central coast, and many other areas not only have a land area far greater than our Syracuse, but also have greater strength than before, giving it a few years of stable development, it must be the most Powerful Greek power! At that time, not only will Syracuse have to succumb to it, even you Sparta, as well as Athens, Thebes and other Greek local powers may have to ask for it in advance to do anything. Opinion!" Dionysius said, seemingly unintentionally, but glanced at Fibidas.

Piddas sat expressionless, but Dionysius knew he must have listened, so he was prepared to say a few more words, as long as Sparta had enough fear for Dionia, Then Sparta will inevitably try to hinder the development of Dionia, so that he is more likely to return to Syracuse.

At this time, his men walked into the cabin: "Master, the fleet has crossed the Adriatic Sea and is approaching Corfu Island."

Hearing this, Fibidas was a bit complicated: Sparta was almost there!

"Order the fleet to sail southeast all the way to Crete." Dionysius' voice made him turn his head in amazement: "Dionysius, don't you go to Sparta?!"

"Yes, I changed my mind. I'm going to Cyreneica." Dionysius smiled secretly.

Phibidas couldn't sit still, he snapped and asked, "You promised me, and followed me to Sparta! I have sent someone to notify the council of elders!"

Dionysius pointedly and fiercely pointed at Fibidas, and asked angrily: "Your Sparta also promised me that I have long supported Dionysius, and now?! Now you actually support those rebellions Molecule! How can I believe you!"

"This..." Fibidas was speechless.

It is estimated that Dionysius has been holding back for a long time, and the two glared at each other like a bull.

For a while, Piddas asked quietly, "Dionysius, are you sure you are not going to Sparta?!"

"Fibidas, in Syracuse these years, I have never made a decision easily, because every one of my decisions may affect the life and death of a large group of people, and going to Cyranica is an important thing I made. Decision!" Dionysius replied proudly, at this moment he showed the majesty of a city-state tyrant.

Phoebe's face was irony, threatening: "Dionysius, you will regret the decision you made!" After he finished, he turned and walked out of the cabin.

"Sparta gave up on me and chose Herolis. You will regret this decision in the future!" Dionysius shouted angrily behind him.

"Dionysius, we don't have to provoke the Spartans at this time." Hiparinus worried.

"Dionysius discussed with me. Sparta is now at war. We went to Sparta. It is very likely that the two thousand mercenaries led by them will be forcibly recruited by them to fight. We take The large sums of gold and silver that are gone may also be levied by them as military expenses, and our actions in Sparta will also be constrained by them. It is impossible to allow us to actively prepare for the return to Syracuse...

In previous years, the kings of Cyranica had just been overthrown, and now the nobility is in power, but there are conflicts between the several ruling families, so the political situation is not stable, and there are often conflicts with local indigenous Libyans. , We take two thousand mercenaries to Cyrenaica, not only will not be restricted, but will also be the object of their competition, which is conducive to our development..." Philistos explained carefully.

"On Ortygia Island, I promised Fibidas to Sparta just to confuse the Spartans. Now, the entire fleet, including the helmsman, are my confidant slaves, and even the sailors are trusted mercenaries. We are in charge, and Fibidas and his dozen Spartan fighters can’t stop us at all! After the Cyranica, I will send someone to send him back to Sparta safely.” Dionysius’ face Yu hated, he patted the wooden chair hard, and finally sighed helplessly: "Sparta betrayed us, according to my previous temperament, I will sacrifice Apollo with the head of Fibidas! Who asked us to need Spartan's help in the future!"

As the three groaned, "Dad! Dad!..." With a crisp cry, a four-year-old toddler stumbled into the cabin.

"Little Dior, don't run around!" A teenage boy chased him and entered the cabin.

Dionysius hugged his son and asked Yan Yue color: "Little Dior, do you miss your father?"

"I... I'm playing hide-and-seek with Brother Dion..." Dionysius turned back to the boy.

"Brother-in-law." Di Ang shouted politely.

Dionysius smiled at Dion, son of his father-in-law Hipparinus, and Aristomaki’s younger brother. He liked his little uncle very much. He was clever and studious, humble and polite, hard-working and serious There is no laziness of the noble children. What is interesting is that he can't play with his sister's two children, but he gets along well with the son of Doris, the child of Lockley's wife Doris.
