Chapter 90 Decision to Declare War on Sparta (3)

"Then notify the chief executives of these two towns to arrange for these prestigious citizens of the kingdom from Messenia to come to Turii as soon as possible to come to the palace to discuss how to rebuild Messenia. Lord Lysias , you are responsible for arranging this matter."

Although Lycias opposed Dionia's involvement in the Greek war, he did not dare to disobey the order given by Davos, and reluctantly replied, "Yes."

Davos looked at him, and then turned his eyes to another person who had remained silent until now: "Prosous, the victorious general of your kingdom, who was born in Argos, should treat Sba I am familiar with Da, what advice do you have for the next military action the kingdom will take?"

Leoticides was a little stunned, then his expression became indifferent, and he said, "Your Majesty, I have no opinion."

In Davos's impression, although Prossius was taciturn, when he talked about military affairs, his words would become more and more insightful, which is a bit abnormal today.

Davos looked at him again and said, "After the meeting, you should have a good discussion with the Ministry of Military Affairs, because this time you send troops to Greece, you will be the commander of the army."

Alexis and other generals were not surprised when they heard this appointment: since there is the First Legion in the army designated by His Majesty Davos to go to Greece, then Plesius, the commander of the First Legion, must be the commander The best candidate for an official, in today's Dionian army, the only one who can overpower Prosousus in terms of record, seniority, and multi-corps command ability is Alexis, but as the Minister of Military Affairs, he is usually a Impossible to be in battle.

As for Amintas, not to mention that he has retired now, and the people of Turii have complained a lot about him in recent years, because the First Army he led in the Western Mediterranean War suffered too many casualties.

As for the rising stars in the army, such as Patroclus, Sextus, and others have their own heavy responsibilities, and with the First Legion on the expedition, it is impossible for them to serve as commanders.

The ministers present took this appointment as a matter of course, but Leoticides hesitated for a while before answering: "...Yes."

Davos glanced at him again, then stood up, his deep eyes slowly swept over everyone's faces, and said solemnly: "Everyone, since we have made it clear that we are going to go to Greece, no matter whether there is any objection in our hearts or not How will the war situation in Greece develop in the future, you must all concentrate your efforts, unite and cooperate, and carefully prepare for the next significant expedition!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!!"

After the ministers are gone,

Davos called the intelligence minister Aristillas (after Davos took advantage of that great dispute, reformed the Senate, and completely stripped the executive decision power from the Senate, he established a new kingdom not long after The Intelligence Department made the intelligence organization of Aristiras, who had secretly served him, be completely and publicly transferred to the public. Its highest-ranking intelligence officer was at the highest level of the middle-level officials, and did not step into the senior level. This is also Davos. A little compromise with other ministers).

"Has something happened to Prosous recently?" Davos asked seemingly casually.

Aristillas thought for a while and replied, "Lord Prosous is the same as before, living a regular and monotonous life, nothing unusual... His home is also very peaceful."

"Well..." Davos tapped the table with his fingers, recalling the scene of the meeting just now, Prosous was obviously a little absent-minded, it was the first time he saw this situation from this victorious general: " Send a few more people to observe me more carefully in the next period of time, preferably to understand his diet, sleep, etc..."

"Yes, Your Majesty, I'll make arrangements now." Aristillas responded immediately.

"I'm going to go to Greece soon, but I can't make any mistakes..." Davos muttered in a deep voice, then looked up at Aristillas: "Has the situation of the Frontier Legion paid off recently?"

"Yes." Aristillas was ready, and immediately took out two papyrus rolls from his arms, one of which was obviously much thicker.

Davos took the thick papyrus roll first, but did not open it immediately, but asked: "This one is from the Po River region (after the conquest of Mount Gaul, the kingdom of Dionia was established here) the middle Po region)?

"Yes."

Davos opened it with interest and took a closer look. Sure enough, it was still the same style. Not only did he record the daily words and deeds of the regiment commander Hasdruba and the main officers of the frontier regiment, the mobilization and attack of the regiment, but also more detailed It records the consumption and changes of grain and baggage, and even describes in more detail the customs and customs of the Liguria region that the corps passed through... In addition, it also includes some views of the recorder on the defense and counterattack of Ligurian tribes, and Some suggestions on how to better deal with the Ligurians and further their assimilation.

From the standpoint of monitoring and providing information, the recorder was obviously unqualified, but the information he submitted was of great reference value to Davos, so Davos stopped Aristilla from the beginning. The way he wanted to be ordered to change.

"I remember that the source of this information is Maximus, a Roman, who used to serve as the city official of the former Rome..." Davers carefully rolled up the papyrus: "He became Dionia last year. Official citizen? What position do you hold in the Po frontier army now?"

"Your Majesty, it was your special approval last year that made him a full-fledged citizen. Now he is the baggage officer of the Frontier Corps, and has won the trust of Hasdrubal."

"Transportation officer... His position in the legion is no longer low." Davos looked down at the papyrus scroll, and said in a deep voice, "Such a person is only an ordinary member of the intelligence department, and he is a bit of a condescending talent! I think when the Ligurian riots are quelled, I will find someone to replace him, I have another use for him."

"Your Majesty." Aristillas hurriedly bowed and said: "The intelligence department is newly established, and there is also a shortage of people with profound knowledge and ability to coordinate the organization like Maximus!"

"Since that's the case..." Davos pondered for a while and said, "Then transfer him back as soon as possible to help you reorganize, plan and manage the Intelligence Department. After all, the Intelligence Department is now the official administration of the kingdom. Department, it must have a formal appearance, I don't want the Supervision Department to accuse you every three days!"

"...Understood, Your Majesty." Aristillas bowed again, and a cold sweat broke out from his intuition.

After Aristillas went out, Henepolis walked into the chamber and saw Davos with his hands behind his back, staring at the map of the Mediterranean Sea on the wall.

He said softly, "Your Majesty, here I am."

Davos didn't look back, and said slowly, "Heney, how many years has Klotto left Turiyi?"

Henipolis felt a move, and immediately said: "I remember that in the fourteenth year of the kingdom, you, Your Majesty, led an army north to attack Rome, and His Royal Highness Croto also followed, and has stayed in Rome since then, until now. It's been thirteen years, and it's been a long time since I left Tuliy!"

"Yeah, it's been a long time!" Davos sighed softly, turned around, and said meaningfully: "Although he has done a good job in Rome, and has been the administrator of Rome for almost 3 years, he left Turui is too long, but it is easy to be forgotten!"

Henipolis' eyelids twitched slightly, and he couldn't help but remember what Ancitanos had said here before, and immediately stood in awe and remained silent.

"Pick up your pen," Davos said.

"Yes." Henepolis immediately sat down at the wooden table and quickly picked up the pen and paper.

"I gave instructions to the deputy ministers, saying that Krotokatax had been away from Turii for many years, and Princess Cristoia was sick of missing her, so she was allowed to resign in advance and returned to Turii to serve her mother, Rome. The successor of the Chief Executive is up to them to discuss and decide..." Davos had just finished dictating, Henepolis had already written it, and was about to hand the order to Davos.

Davos said: "I will give them another order, saying that Ancitanos wants to step down as foreign minister. I have approved it. The successor is Tapirus. I hope they will complete the handover as soon as possible to avoid affecting the succession. Down the military operation against Sparta."

Henipolis' hand holding the pen trembled slightly, and after a while he replied softly, "...Your Majesty, it's done."

It was already dusk when Leoticides came out of the military department and set out on his way home.

Initially, Leoticides' home was in the port area of ​​Turii; later he became a legionnaire, became a citizen of Dionysus, and most of the lands awarded for his military exploits were concentrated in Croatia. Rimisa, so there is also a house there, but he seldom lives there, because at that time he was already the commander of the Eighth Legion and stayed in the Catania camp all the year round; later, he entered the Senate , plus its brilliant achievements, the kingdom gave him a piece of residential land in the outer city of Turiyi, not far from the Temple of Hera, and their whole family has lived there since then.

The elders living in the inner city, because they are very close to the Grand Council and the Victory Square, mostly walk home; the elders living in the outer city, because of the long distance, and in order to avoid the disturbance of pedestrians on the road, most of them return by sedan chair. At home, only a few people choose to ride horses, and the horses are all reported to the city guard and approved, Leoticides is one of them, and he has 4 riding entourages around him to protect him. security.
