Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

Peropidas looked at Lutikli again, and then said unhurriedly: "It's you Sparta, never heard that you have the whole of Greece, but in these years, whether it is Central Greece or Northern Greece, It can be seen that you sent troops to provoke war, our Thebes was once occupied by you, and the port of Piraeus in Athens was also innocently injured by you, so it seems that Sparta is the biggest obstacle to the restoration of peace in Greece. ! Tamagoras, do you think I ’m right? "

Tamagoras was silent and did not respond.

Lutikli was excited to refute, and Trebasus said aloud: "In these years of the Greek War, Sparta really should have a great responsibility! The king gave Sparta great support, but Sparta It is indeed a pity that Da has failed the trust of the King! "

Having said that, Trebasus saw Lutikli's complexion, and sneered secretly in his heart: vulgar, rude, stupid and incompetent Spartan barbarian! If you are not needed, do n’t let the king ’s efforts in these years be wasted, and let other Greek city-states unite to destroy you! Wait, one day I will settle the ledger with you Spartan!

"But the King believes that Sparta will definitely learn from the past and regain the responsibility of maintaining peace in Greece. Of course, this also requires the full assistance of Athens, Thebes and other city-states! As for how you negotiate to sign a new peace treaty, we Persia will not intervene, but the king hopes that it is best to build on the previous contract. For any city-state that does not negotiate seriously, even intentionally obstructs, and wants to continue the war, they will bear the anger of the king, and Persia will do its utmost. The adversaries who supported it completely wiped it out! "

In the last few words, Trebasus spoke loudly, making Peropidas shocked them all, feeling that the Persian king was indeed very concerned about the restoration of peace in Greece.

Trebasus suddenly sighed and said: "The reason why the king cares so much about Greece is because you Greeks are less thalassic, but they have always been able to compete with our powerful Persia, which makes him very admired! In his heart, he always had the idea that the Greeks were the masters west of the Mediterranean.

But now the situation has changed. In these years when you have frequent wars, in your colony-Great Greece, there has been a country called Dionia, it is like a monster, in just 20 Over the years, not only have they conquered many aliens, but they have also annexed many of the Greek nations, and even Carthage has become its subject.

Today, it has become the overlord of the sea west of Greece. Next, it will probably face its greedy mouth against Greece, which is close to it. If Greece does not end the dispute as soon as possible, unite and resist this strong The enemy, the only thing waiting for you is destruction, just like the city-states of Crotone, Lockley, Katane, and Syracuse that have been annexed! So the king hopes that after peace is reached, you will be able to form a new alliance and protect the security of Greece! "

It can be said that the Western Mediterranean War, which happened a few thousand years ago, had nothing to do with Persia, but the demise of the Eastern Phoenician Fleet and the subsequent Persian emissaries to Dionysia, demanding a truce were severely rejected. The incident greatly hurt the self-esteem of the Persian king Artaxerxes: Even the most recalcitrant Spartans and Athens finally crawled under my feet, and a small barbaric kingdom dare to be so arrogant! ‘What the Western Mediterranean is the domain of Dionysia. If Persia wants to intervene, if he has the courage to send an army! "... This is how Alta Xerxes felt angry when he heard the messenger's return.

Although Dionysia was a long way from a thousand miles away, Artaxerxes had always hated him, and now he finally found an opportunity to fight back against the Kingdom of Dionysia who dared to offend his dignity.

After listening to the words of Trebasus, the expressions of the three messengers were slightly complicated, and their hearts floated together.

I heard that in the Western Mediterranean War, the Persians once sent a fleet to participate in the war, and suffered a fiasco ... It seems that this is true. No wonder the Persian king received us so kindly this time, so eagerly hope that we will achieve peace! But ... to jointly resist a Dionysia that is aggressive in both military and trade is in line with the interests of Athens and the demands of the people, but is it necessary to establish another alliance? But if this alliance is to be dominated by Sparta again, will it harm the interests of Athens? … I'm afraid I can't make a decision until I go back to negotiation ... This is the idea of ​​Tamagoras.

Form an alliance against Dionia? ! ... Lutekli's mood is a bit complicated.

Since the Spartans had participated in the Persian Expeditionary Force, they early noticed that Dionysia, established by mercenary leaders, knew more than other Greek city-states. Dionysia gradually changed from a weak city-state when it was established. The whole process of the powerful kingdom, in this process, Sparta did not use tactics, stumbling blocks, and wanted to hinder its development, because they remembered the threatening words that King Dionia had told them, so even The peace agreement has been in effect, and they are always worried that they will be retaliated by Deolia, especially now that Sparta is deeply trapped in the war quagmire of Thebes, so the Persian proposal made Lu Tickley was tempted, because if it can be achieved, it will undoubtedly give Sparta a guarantee of security, but at the same time he is also worried that the establishment of this alliance will really anger Dionysia? Can you really resist the offense that Dionia may launch? After all, the Spartans know a little about the strength of some Dionysians.

And Peropidas looked at Trebasus in astonishment. He seemed to hear another meaning from the mouth of this favorite Persian king: strangely, the Persians seemed to be afraid of Dionyssia? ! Is the Kingdom of Dionia really so powerful? ! ...

He pondered for a moment and asked, "Master Terbasus, the advice of the King of Persia is very good, but I have a small problem."

"What's the problem?" Trebasus looked at him.

"As far as I know, Sparta has been in close contact with the Kingdom of Dionysia you just mentioned, and has signed a long-term alliance agreement to allow such a city-state to lead the Greeks against Dionysia. This may be ?!--"

"Shut up your mouth! Don't talk nonsense if you don't know!" Lutikli interrupted him and emphasized loudly: "Sparta and Dionysia signed a non-aggression treaty. In fact, we Bada ’s relationship with Australia is not good! ... "

"The king knows all these things, so the king still proposes that Sparta will lead the Greeks to defend against the possible invasion of Dioria, but in order to dispel the doubts of other city-states, it is best for Sparta to draw a line with Dionysia as soon as possible. , Cut off contact! "

Terabasus looked at Lutikli with a cold eye, then looked at the other two envoys, Shen Sheng said: "The king is very concerned about the security of Greece and will support you to restore peace! I will also fully support you to form an alliance and defend Dai. Onia! But if any city-state is still provoking war or refusing to join the alliance, defending the Dionysians, or even colluding with it secretly, then we in Persia will call on other Greek city-states to unite and destroy them! Dionysia really invaded Greece one day, the king promised that he would assist the huge wealth and materials of this alliance in Greece, and at the same time have a strong navy to help the Greeks fight back this evil wolf in the west! ...... "

The decisive words of Terribassos contain a strong threat and at the same time show the generosity and generosity of Persia. The three Peropidas are just messengers of the city-state and cannot make a direct commitment to this. In order to return to the city-state and persuade the public to make a choice, the three of them all kept silent.

But for Trebasus, he had completely conveyed the intention of the Persian king to the three messengers. The purpose had been achieved, and he did not want to spend more time with the Greeks, so the banquet ended hurriedly.

However, after the three people returned to their rooms, the most silent Athenian messenger, Tamagoras, quietly knocked on the door of the Spartan messenger. After seeing Lutikli, he said righteously : "Athens and Sparta need a good talk ..."

Before the three messengers left Persia ~ www.readwn.com ~ Alta Xerxes met them again, reaffirming his hope that Greece would restore peace and form an alliance to defend Dionysia, he showed himself The generosity of the three emissaries were greatly rewarded by the three messengers. Among them, he also gave a crown of flowers soaked with balm to the Spartan messenger Lutikli. Si loves to drink milk, and specially gave him a dozen good cows, but he did not show anything special to Peropidas, which is somewhat contrary to the performance of the three messengers he met before.

In addition, he separately summoned Lutikli once, specifically referring to the "Spartan and Dionysia friendly agreement", and he reminded him seriously: Sparta must communicate with Dionysia Cut off the relationship, otherwise Persia will turn to support its enemy-Thebes.

Due to the pressure exerted by the Persian king, Lutikli was very worried on his way back.

Peropidas is also uneasy, not to mention that the Babylonian King of Persia has a good attitude towards him, but he can feel that the Persians believe and support Sparta more, and they specifically mentioned the sentence in the previous talks , "Peace talks are best based on the King's contract", which makes him worried.
