"He insisted on his request. I am afraid that he wants to personally protect the few remaining Spartan citizens. Besides, I think that although he is very old, his health is still relatively tough. If he is just a commander, there should be a problem. Not too big." Daves said seriously: "What's more, he has been fighting in Asia Minor for many years, and he is very familiar with the situation there, and can provide valuable reference for you to lead the coalition to attack the western part of Asia Minor at any time, so I suggest you fight in the war. Try to communicate with him as much as possible during the period."
Hearing this, Leotich Desmner’s expression changed again. He was silent for a while, and then asked: "Your Majesty, all the soldiers, food and ships provided by the Allies are recorded in this booklet. But it didn't say how many troops the kingdom is prepared to send?"
Daves smiled and said empathetically: "The allies of Greece sent a total of 30,000 troops. If you don’t have enough kingdom troops by your side, it won’t be conducive for you to command the battle. So I discussed with the Ministry of Military Affairs and decided to dispatch the tenth. The Corps, the Eleventh Corps, the 20th Corps (the Thessaly Corps), and the Sixth Cavalry Corps (composed of the Thessaly Cavalry), as well as the Wolsey, Helniki, and Sabine of Central Greece Allied states such as Ekwe and Equa are also willing to send troops. They have been in alliance with us for a long time, and they are closer to each other on the Italian peninsula. They can be counted as their own people. I will also hand over the army they formed to you... Come, the number of troops provided by the kingdom has exceeded 30,000, and the total strength of the coalition is more than 60,000. Are you satisfied with such an army?"
Leotichides did not respond directly, but went on to ask: "Your Majesty, the navy?"
"During the Allied landing in Asia Minor, the Fourth Fleet is temporarily under your command (The Fourth Fleet is mainly adapted from the Sesari battleship captured by Dionia, with a total of 100 warships. The annexation of Thessa in Dionia After Li, the drainage filled the Almiros wetlands, and the Armiros military port was built, which became the resident of the 4th Fleet), but then it will merge with other fleets to perform important tasks... In addition, Athens is the mainstay The more than one hundred Greek warships provided by the allies of China will also obey your command.” Daves explained roughly.
Leotichides' heart moved, and then he asked: "Besides letting me lead the Greek coalition to attack Persia from Asia Minor, should the kingdom have other offensive plans?"
"Of course, you don't ask, I'm also going to say so, so that you can learn more about the entire military plan for attacking Persia formulated by the Ministry of Military Affairs, familiar with the entire upcoming battle, and it will help you make the right decision." Dave Sjeanhnipolis took a map of the Eastern Mediterranean, then pointed to the map, and said seriously: "The kingdom has got the news. Since the Egyptian successor Pharaoh Jeho died in a storm on his way to Turei, he got news. The Egyptian general Nick Tanipos launched a rebellion. Tanibu, who was seriously ill in bed, fell into a coma. The city of Memphis fell into chaos. Maybe at this time when I was talking with you, Nick Tanipos led the army to break through. To Memphis.
In order to fulfill the covenant and punish the rebellion, I have appointed Karsidis as the reinforcement commander and stepped up to gather several legions in Sicily, rush to Egypt as soon as possible, defeat the rebels, and restore the political stability of Egypt. At the same time, the Ministry of Military Affairs has notified the first and second fleets to complete the mobilization as soon as possible, and then rushed to the southern bay of the Peloponnese to be stationed there for wartime mergers, with Sekerian as the navy commander in search of fighters. Battle with the Persian fleet at sea.
The Ministry of Military Affairs will also mobilize other main armies in the kingdom's territory. I will personally lead them and then head to the Eastern Mediterranean... Now the preliminary plan is to land in Egypt, but whether there will be changes then depends on the development of the war. ... In the end, the three armies met in the Near East of Persia and marched towards the core hinterland of Persia together and fought a decisive battle with the Persian army. "
Daves spoke plainly, but Leotichides had already felt the magnificent war scenes from his words, and his heart was unavoidably agitated: This is an unprecedented battle!
He tried his best to calm his excitement and asked: "How long do you give these allies to gather their soldiers?"
"Two months, because they need to complete the harvest of the farmland before they can go out to fight." Davers said calmly: "Although it has been a little slower, it is also a good thing from another perspective, at least when the coalition forces land in Asia Minor. After that, they can raise food on the spot to reduce their dependence on logistical supplies. Then they will rush to Philae in Thessaly within 15 days to complete the final assembly of allied forces... This is what I propose to all the allies participating in the Persian war. They have all agreed to the request.
You can assemble the Tenth and Eleventh Corps first and arrive at Larissa in Thessaly earlier to prepare for the attack on Asia Minor. "
Having said this, Daves stood up, looked at this outstanding commander with expectation, and said solemnly: "Persia is vast, and Asia Minor is even more complex. The Ministry of Military Affairs and I will not give specific instructions. After all, you led some officers and staff to Asia Minor three years ago to support and observe the operations of the Persian rebel army. You are more familiar with the situation there. All military actions are determined by you. I believe you will It’s better than the Agcilius of the year!"
Leotichides lifted up his spirits and immediately replied: "Please rest assured, your majesty, I will definitely complete the conquest of western Asia Minor as soon as possible, and join the main force of your army as soon as possible!" 361 reading
After sending Leotichides away, Daves said to Hernipolis: "Go to Calcidis (Commander of the Eighth Army) and call in."
……………………………………………………
After Persia spent several years quelling the rebellion in Asia Minor, its national power was too great to conquer Egypt and had to retreat. This made Artaxerxes’ second military action to attack Egypt failed, causing his prestige to decline further. .
In order to frighten his subjects, he followed Trebasus’ advice and wanted to liquidate the rebellion in Asia Minor. Many officials and local nobles in Asia Minor were implicated. They were punished or decapitated. A lot of wealth and land were confiscated. It was then transferred to the nobles of eastern and central Persia who supported Artaxerxes, and many Persian noble officials centered on Susa were transferred to western Asia Minor to be appointed to important positions.
Artaxerxes' repeated actions won the praise of the Persian nobles. They no longer urge the Persian king to continue preparing for the war against Egypt, but instead spend their energy on the fight for the fat of western Asia Minor.
But Altaxerxes, who suffered several setbacks in his own expeditions, completely extinguished his thoughts of obtaining martial arts, and decided to stay in Babylon with peace of mind and enjoy the rest of his life. Who knows that the house leaks in the evening rain, and soon the harem is out again problem.
Altaxerxes is very old. A few years ago, he began to look for a successor to this huge empire. He has many heirs, but he did not hesitate to decide to pass the throne to the eldest son Darius, just like his father back then. The throne was passed to him, and Darius has been allowed to wear a crown symbolizing the king of Persia in public.
According to Persian traditions and customs, heirs can publicly propose a favor from the parents. As long as it is within the authority of the parents, it must be agreed and not rejected arbitrarily. But Darius put forward the request of "grant to Aspasia".
Aspasia was once one of the most beloved concubines of little Cyrus, and was later brought into the palace by Artaxerxes. Of course he was reluctant to bear it, but due to custom, he made a perfunctory claim: Aspasia is already free. She can’t force her to go against her will, if she willingly obeys Darius, he will be happy to make it happen.
To his surprise, Aspasia publicly chose Darius as his lifelong support. Artaxerxes could only follow the Persian law and hand her over to his son, but his heart was full of anger. . Before long, he snatched Aspasia away from Darius and sent her to the Temple of Anadis in Iqbaltana, where she dedicated her to the gods and became a priestess. She must be strict for the rest of her life. Of Zhen Shou.
Altaxerxes was very proud that he had punished the woman who had betrayed him in such a gentle way, and taught his son a lesson, but he didn't know that the heir to the kingdom was so angry that he began to plot a rebellion. It didn't take long for many people to participate. In Darius’s rebellion, just as he was about to put it into action, an **** who was involved in the conspiracy reported to Artaxerxes because of fear. UU看书www. uukanshu.com The king of Persia was furious. He not only killed Darius with his own hands, but also executed many Persian officials implicated by this. For a time, Babylon was bloody.
A secret spy told the king of Persia: Darius seemed to have sent someone to lobby Trebasus, and he might have also participated in the treason.
However, the intelligence department could not produce any conclusive evidence. The only reason that can be cited is that Trebasus and Darius are in the same situation.
It turns out that many years ago, in order to win over his confidants, Alta Xerxes had promised to marry his daughter Amestris to Trebasus, just as he married his other two daughters to Orontas and The son of Phanabazos was the same, but the Persian king quickly turned back because he himself married Amestris. So he changed his promise, and wanted to marry his youngest daughter Atosha to Trebasus. But then he was obsessed with Atosha, unable to extricate himself, and did not keep his promise at all. This incident made Trebasus a joke of the Persian royal court, but he himself has been very calm and never complained. However, the intelligence department believed that he might still be dissatisfied, so Darius could not fail. Contact him.
