Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece - Chapter 1302

[Chapter 251 Izam’s Persian Experience]

“I have heard these things from my clan, and my eldest brother even said gratefully, ‘Without their help, his tribe would not have become the largest tribe in Dukeya’! Thank you, Your Majesty! Thank you Lord Mariji! “Izam salutes both of them sincerely.

Marigi hurriedly avoided, and said in a flat tone: “It’s nothing, everything is for the kingdom!”

“Izam, I went to Dukya, how can I not be like you.” Davers said jokingly. : “Don’t say any more words of thanks. What I want to hear now is the details of your adventure to Dukeya this time! Come, sit down, let’s talk slowly.” The

guards moved wooden chairs, and several people sat down Afterwards, Izam began to narrate: “…after I arrived in Egypt with the vanguard of Karsidis, I boarded a ship in the city of Naukrates, which was actually owned by his Persian friend and arranged by Lord Marigi. The Egyptian merchant ship took it into the port of Issus, and then followed a caravan arranged in advance by the Persian merchant to the Mesopotamian plain—”

“Your Majesty, this Persian merchant is the one I mentioned to you before. Mazayas who has been there,” Marigi interjected.

“After we got here, did you send someone to contact him?” Davers asked with interest.

“Your Majesty, I sent someone to Issus to find him… but unfortunately he was not at home. I heard from his servants that he was still doing business near Babylon and did not return…”

Davos noticed that Marigi was there .

There was a trace of hesitation in the answer, so he said in a gentle tone: “Persia is his mother country after all, and it is understandable that he is not willing to fall completely to us, but we must not forget the help he provided, and after the victory, we will definitely Give him a reward!”

“Thank you, Your Majesty!” Mariji breathed a sigh of relief and immediately expressed his gratitude.

“Izam, you continue.”

“…I followed Mazayas’ caravan along the north bank of the Euphrates and headed eastward. At first, it was relatively smooth. Later, it was said that the news that our army entered Egypt and some of the Greek coalition forces landed in Asia Minor had spread to Babylon. The king of Persia issued an order for military mobilization, and the order in the towns along the Euphrates River became somewhat chaotic. The caravan I was in was intercepted by the town checkpoints several times, and the temporarily formed troops wanted to detain them for various reasons. The materials carried by the caravan, although Mazayas has some means, can finally let them release, but after discussing with me, he decided to go north ahead of schedule after replenishing enough water in the city of Corsotti.

Who knows, The order on the Mesopotamian plains was even more chaotic. Not only was my caravan looted, but several people were killed and wounded. I had to pretend that I was a messenger sent by the Duqya people, claiming that the caravan was carrying goods. It was used by Duqya to form reinforcements… Maybe it was the prestige established by the Duqya people who defeated the Persian King’s army that year, which made the Persians fearful.

After that, the caravan was no longer harassed by the garrison in those towns. We passed through Caine, Larisa, Mespira relatively smoothly… and arrived at the Duqya Mountains smoothly—”

Having said this, Izam seemed a little proud, and then his tone became low again: ” When I saw my people, I learned that my father had passed away 10 years ago. My elder brother and several brothers died in the war against the Persians… Now I am in charge of the tribe. My second brother Remi, although he was surprised by my sudden appearance, he was not very surprised. According to him, his tribe had been in close contact with Mazayas and other caravans over the years. I learned some things about Dionia, and even learned that not only did I not die, but I also became a high-ranking official in the kingdom… Since Mr. Mariji let these caravans help the tribe all the time, my second brother was very interested in the kingdom. I am very impressed, he is very happy that I can come in time, otherwise he doesn’t know what to do next.

Because the king of Persia has sent messengers to Duqya, asking the tribes to send warriors to participate in the war against the kingdom, more than half of the tribes They all expressed their agreement one after another, but only some tribes headed by our tribe did not make a statement because of my second brother’s opposition, which led to the Dukeya tribe meeting not making a final decision for several days—”

“Isn’t the war between Dukeya and Persia won! How can the Persians still instruct Dukeya at will?” Davos was a little puzzled.

Izam hurriedly explained: “Your Majesty, I heard Remy say that although Dukya won that war, Dukya suffered a lot, and the Persians made concessions after that, such as reducing the annual tribute. Jin, put some disputed areas under the management of the Duqya people… Therefore, the Duqya tribes are still willing to attach themselves to Persia in the end, and because the Persians’ oppression on Duqya has eased in the following years, the two sides have The tension has improved a lot. This time the Persians also promised some benefits in order to let Dukeya participate in the war, so many tribes were tempted…

But because the Kesokant tribe is now Dukeya The most powerful tribe in the mountains, my second brother objected, and it was difficult for the entire Duqya tribe to reach a unified opinion. The Persian messenger pulled several tribe leaders to persuade Remy for several days, and even threatened at the end, ‘Even if the Kesokant tribe refuses to join the war, other tribes will join, but after the war, Persia will treat the Kesokant tribe differently!’ This put Remi under a lot of pressure

. He relayed your plan, Your Majesty, although he was a little moved by your promise (allowing Dukeya to become independent after the war is won, and even the kingdom will fully support him to become the King of Dukeya), but he was still a little worried, and I asked him again After a detailed analysis of the military strength of Dionia and Persia and the current situation in the Mediterranean Sea, he reluctantly agreed and decided to agree to the request of the Persian envoy to lead the army into the war.”

“Your second brother persuaded other Duqya tribes to participate in this plan together. huh?” Marigi interjected.

“I also asked him this question, but he was very cautious, and he told me that two of these tribes in Duqya had a bad relationship with the Xoxokant tribe, and if he ventured to secretly contact other Tribe, it is difficult to guarantee that the news will not leak out. Once the Persians know, the Kesokant tribe will be in a dangerous situation, so he will not take this risk, but he has gathered all the young and middle-aged people in the tribe, More than 5,000 people have come to participate in this war. This force is very important among the Dukeya tribes. At the critical moment, as long as he secretly persuades the tribes that are closely related to the Kesokant tribe to act together, I believe that they will definitely be able to fight against the war situation. Great impact!” Izam said confidently.

Davos smiled and praised: “Very good, your second brother is calm and considerate, but it makes me believe that our cooperation with the Kesokant tribe will be successful! Issam, you will follow your tribe later. Did you arrive at Tabosacus together?”

“Your Majesty, after the Dukeya Tribe Conference reached an agreement, the tribes successively formed armies to go to Mesopotamia. Although Remy led the most warriors, he was the first to set out. , I dressed up as a Kesokant tribe warrior and followed my second brother all the time.

We left the Duqya Mountains and went down the Tigris River. The towns along the way should have been ordered to provide us with a certain amount of food. Supplies, after we reached the city of Opis, the Persians would not allow us to go further south, we were stationed near the city of Opis, and waited for the other troops of the Dukeya tribe to come and meet.

During this period, every day All the armies convened by the towns in the upper reaches of the Tigris River went to the city of Sitak further south of Opis City to meet—”

When Izam said this, Davos suddenly sighed, and said with some sigh: “Opi Si… Sittak… We also visited

back then…” Marigi answered immediately, “Your Majesty, this time you have plenty of time to visit these familiar Persian towns again.”

Davos looked at him and took the lead. With a nostalgic tone, he said, “Maligi, the first time I saw you was in the Median region, right?”

Marigi said excitedly: “Your Majesty, it has been more than 30 years, and you still remember it so clearly! Thanks to the blessing of Hades, I met you when I was in danger at the time, and my future life was born. Earthshaking change! I just hate that I didn’t meet you earlier and serve you earlier!”

Listening to the sincere words of compliments mixed with Maliji, Davos nodded slowly and said softly: “I can get you With the help of Mersis, UU reading www.sonicmtl.com is also my greatest luck! You, take care of your health, I am still waiting for you to take me around Persia after this war is over!”

“Yes… Yes… Your Majesty, I will be a good guide…” Marigi’s trembling voice was slightly choked.

Davos suppressed the surging emotions in his heart, and then asked: “Izam, how long have you been in Opis?”

“All the Dukeya tribal troops have been there for more than two months, why is it so long ?

There was no action at all, and I heard that mainly the Persian king was waiting for the Persian army and the Indians from the far east. During this period, I also saw the army from Amelia, Tauchia, and even And the Cardans…”

Having said this, Izam’s expression became a little dignified: “Afterwards, the large area closest to the two rivers was full of military camps and soldiers, and there were countless soldiers. How many troops… My relatives have also been shaken about whether to continue to support Dionia. Fortunately, during this period, the Greek coalition defeated the Persian army in Asia Minor, our fleet defeated the Persian fleet, and Your Majesty led the army yourself. Conquered Canaan… These news came one after another, and I had to persuade them to strengthen their confidence again!…”
