Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

Vol 9 Chapter 87: Jason's decision

By the time Ia Song arrived in Ruktra Highlands, the battle had ended for 7 days.

The Spartan coalition messengers subsequently arrived in Sparta. The news of the failure of the battle shocked the Spartans. You must know that Spartan foreign wars have continued in recent years. The true Spartan warriors have reached the peak of 3000 The number of people has dropped to less than 2,000. More relying on the troops of the Piriasi, Black Heroes and Allied forces. Nowadays 400 Spartan soldiers have died in battle, including a Spartan king. For Sparta is undoubtedly a huge loss.

Not only is the people grieved, but also according to tradition, a grand funeral for Cliombrotus is held, but the situation is now critical, and the Spartan coalition forces trapped in Piosia are still in urgent need of rescue, led by Agassius The Council of Elders and the Ombudsman had to implore the people to temporarily suppress their grief and urgently mobilize young and middle-aged men (including the Pirisians and some black men) to form an army. The son of Agassius Commanded by Achimdams (because Agsilaus was unwell and unable to lead), the neighboring allies also provided support one after another.

The Persian messenger Datis, who stayed in Sparta, was also shocked. He did not expect that the large Spartan army would be defeated. This made him wonder whether Persian support for Sparta was a mistake, but now the bottom Bis has already formed an alliance with Dionysia, and it is impossible for Persia to change a supported Greek city-state in a short time, so he hurried to the Council of Elders to question.

Many elders were angry, and Agsilaw swallowed him assuredly: "This is just an accidental failure. The Spartan army is still strong, and it will soon defeat Thebes again and rebuild the Greek hegemony. . "

Datis replied unanswered, but asked them: "Persia is not only willing to provide money and materials to support Sparta, but also willing to send troops to support it."

Agsilaus quickly expressed his gratitude, but politely rejected the request of "Persia to send reinforcements".

Spartan is badly needed for money and material, because it can be used to hire mercenaries, increase the size of the army, and continue to fight Thebes. However, since the Hippo War, no Persian army has ever stepped on the Greek mainland in decades. If Sparta dares to invite the Persian army, it will undoubtedly cause the indignation of the Greek city-states and become the target, even its allies. There will be betrayal.

Achimdams led the army quickly north, and then took a boat through Corinth and landed on the port of Clius.

But the speed of the Spartan reinforcements was still slower. While they were still on their way north, all of Cesari ’s reinforcements had arrived in Ruktra, and the strength of the Pioxia Allied Forces was greatly enhanced, exceeding The Spartan coalition, therefore Ipamironda proposed: "Take advantage of this favorable opportunity to launch a slam attack on the Spartan coalition camp and completely destroy the Spartan coalition in Pioxia territory!"

At this time, Jason had no excitement when he first heard the news of the victory of the battle, because his most important minister, Asidamas, also came to Ruktra and analyzed the current situation in Greece with him in private. Later, Iason realized that the failure of the Battle of Ruktra had already caused enough damage to the prestige of the Spartans. It really weakened the Spartan ’s obstacle to Cesari ’s dominance of Greece, but at the same time Let him see the potential of Thebes. If at this time we will help the Thebis to completely wipe out the Spartans, and the Spartans will be severely weakened, the true benefit will undoubtedly be the Thebis. They will quickly take over the Spartans in China. Greece's legacy will be rapidly improved, but it will become Cesari's biggest opponent to dominate Greece.

Having figured this out, Jason did not agree to Ipamironda ’s request, but persuaded: "Pioxia Allied Forces finally won the battle and no further risk was necessary. After all, attacking the camp was harder than fighting in the wild. More. In the case where Spartan reinforcements will come at any time, once the long attack is unsuccessful, it will instead put the coalition in a dangerous situation. It is better to take advantage of it now and force the Spartans to sign a truce agreement to let Both armies can be safely evacuated. "

It sounds like Iasong was right, but Ipamironda and Pelopidas still hope to be able to pursue the victory, so the two sides continue to argue for a while. Ipamironda has always been determined to see Iasong. Unwilling to fight, without the help of Cesari ’s reinforcements, the Pioxia Allied Forces would have to pay a great price and weigh the pros and cons if they wanted to attack the Kesbad camp. In the end, he had to agree with Jason ’s proposal.

As a result, Jason acted as a mediator for both parties, arranging peace talks between the two parties.

The reinforcements in the rear did not know when they would arrive, and after the Thebes gained the Cesarali reinforcements, they were obviously strong and strong, so the low morale Spartan coalition soon signed a truce agreement with the Pioxia coalition.

That night, the Spartan coalition evacuated quietly.

Being able to successfully mediate the war between the former Greek hegemony Sparta and today's emerging Greek power, Thebes, Jason greatly showed his face, and the power of the Cesarians also boarded for the first time. The political stage in the core area of ​​Greece has attracted the attention of many Greek city-states.

On his way back to Thessaly, the stunned Yia Song led his army to do another thing that shocked the southern Greeks. He led the army to attack Heraklia (not the city of Heraclea, not the holy kingdom of Dionysia) west of the hot spring pass, which was under the control of Sparta and was defended by the hot spring pass. Strong guarantee, after all, the hot springs are narrow in terrain and cannot allow too many soldiers to stay for a long time.

Jason not only easily attacked it, but also completely destroyed it. In the Greek mainland where wars are frequent nowadays, it is relatively common for a city-state to be captured or even destroyed, but what Yaasun did is not simple. In the eyes of the Greek people, this is the barbarian in the north who wants to step into Greece Rudeness in the human core area.

Just after the teacher returned to the city, the Thebes commander Ipamironda and Pelopidas, who were welcomed by the people, all frowned. He was persuaded that they were persuaded to practice with the Spartans. They felt uneasy during the truce, and now they are more certain about the ambition of this Cesaritagus: the Spartans have not been completely defeated, but will the former allies become our new enemies? !

More anxious than the Thebes are the Phokis, because the Cesarians smashed Heraclea and occupied the hot springs. If they headed south, the Phokis region bears the brunt, and then it is Pio ’s turn. The Xia region, so the priests of Delphi were very anxious and finally became proactive. They were ready to invite Greek city-states to convene the Holy Alliance Conference to discuss how to respond to the threat of the Cesarians in Northern Greece. It is best to resolve the Spartans and the bottom. The war between Bis can allow both sides to maintain a relatively long-term peace.

The priests of Delphi were right, and Jason had already conceived a plan to conquer the Phokees region. Since the next year is the year Delphi held the Pitia Games, he had planned to demonstrate his mighty power in front of the Greek citizens of other city-states at this Games, so he decided to issue an order to return to Philae The Cesare city-states prepared cows and sheep for the upcoming Delphi sacrifice, and also promised to award a golden crown to the strongest bull. At the same time, he also asked the city-states to do military mobilization and form a huge army, led by him to Delphi to preside over the celebration.

Jason has made up his mind to use force to deprive the Sacred League Committee of his rights and force himself to become the chairman of the Pitiah Games ...

In the history of the previous life, he made unabashed preparations according to this plan, which caused the Delphi people to panic. Even the rumors about "he was going to **** the holy library of the Delphi temple" were very loud, which aroused The anger of Apollo's most devout believers. So one day a few months later, after completing his inspection of the army, Jason sat down and listened to the petitions of his subjects. Seven young men, who were arguing blushing, stepped forward and pretended to report the dispute to him. . As they approached, they suddenly broke out and killed Jason in their seats. This assassination completely changed the course of history. Jason died of unrequited aspirations. Thessari, who was strongly unified by him, quickly split, and the result was cheaper for Thebes and later Macedonians.

But in this life ~ www.readwn.com ~ Jason's plan had to be implemented, it had to be temporarily suspended because a major event occurred in the Peloponnese Peninsula to the south.

……………………………………

Since the port of Clusius originally controlled by Thebes was occupied by the Spartans, Thebes had no port in the Gulf of Corinth, so the messengers sent to Dionia had to rush to the bay in the north of the Piosia area. ferry. In this way, the passenger ship would have to make a big circle to reach Dionysia, and it must also be careful to avoid the patrol of the Spartan fleet, so when the Thebis and the Spartan army reached a truce, the messenger still Could not rush to Turui.

But Dionysia had been paying close attention to this war for a long time, and the agents sent by the intelligence service were hidden in the merchant ships that traded with the Greek city-states, so as soon as the Battle of Ruktra ended, Dionys stayed in the port of Corinth. The Asian merchant ship quickly left the port and drove west quickly. The Spartan patrol warship did not dare to block it. So while Jason received the news of the battle, the battle report of the battle had been sent to the palace of Turi.

As a result, Daphes summoned the ministers of secondary administration, major ministers, and important military generals to hold an important meeting in the royal palace.
