Chapter 107

Clotokatax was attracted by the story, and he asked curiously: "Since that rogue man is not good at leading troops, why did he win in the end?"

"There are two main reasons for his victory." Davers looked at his son, slowed down his speech, but intensified his tone: "First, he is good at employing people, and he let the excellent people who are good at handling administrative affairs manage and conquer for him. Provide sufficient logistical support and troops, let those who are good at commanding operations serve as generals, lead the army to fight, and let those who are good at strategy make suggestions for him... All those who rely on him can use them and make the best use of their talents;

The second is that he is good at absorbing the correct opinions of his subordinates and correcting mistakes, so he can always grasp the entire battle situation more accurately and formulate the correct strategy... This is the reason why he can finally win. "

After hearing this, Clotokatax fell into deep thought.

Davos said earnestly and softly on the side: "As a king, you don't need to master the ability to command troops, but you need to master the ability to command generals, give them tasks that suit their talents, and let them charge for you. The main energy is to analyze and grasp the trend of the whole war. For this reason, I will appoint Printoles as your staff officer, and Karias as your accompanying diplomat, to provide you with advice at any time...

Dionia established the country with military force, and the citizens honored their military exploits. If you are blank in the military, you will lack prestige among the people in the future. Moreover, the Ministry of Military Affairs is the most important department of the kingdom. It only belongs to the king's jurisdiction. If you want to make those generals with great military achievements fully obey, you must also do something in the military. When you were just an adult, you spent a period of time in the staff office, you should have some understanding of the military affairs of the kingdom, and you once prepared military provisions in Rome for the army that went to Gaul. If you add this lead to the battle, You have a comprehensive understanding of the entire military operation of the kingdom, and no one can fool you in this regard in the future..."

Davos's good manners moved Clotokatax, he said solemnly: "Father, I am willing to go to Messenia!"

"Good! Good!" Davers nodded in relief.

"But—" Clotokatax hesitated for a moment, and then said with a serious expression: "The citizens of the kingdom can't farm and do business with peace of mind, and spend more time on military training, thinking about fighting and thinking. Making meritorious deeds in the long run... I am afraid it will not be conducive to the stability of the kingdom."

Davos restrained his smile and looked at him sternly: "You can see this, I'm very happy! The reason why Dionia rewarded the expedition is because since the establishment of the kingdom, it has been surrounded by powerful enemies. Under the circumstances, in order to survive, we have to do this, and it is definitely not possible to carry out this way for a long time, but it must also be after the powerful enemies that threaten us have been defeated and the security of the kingdom has been guaranteed.”

Clotokatax was relieved, originally he was worried that his father would not listen to his opinion.

Davos sighed lightly and said to him with a solemn expression: "But you must understand that the system of rewarding expeditions has been implemented for so many years, and it has been deeply ingrained among the people, and it cannot be changed all at once. The efforts of generations have changed it little by little.

In addition, you must also understand that even if we defeat all the powerful enemies in the Mediterranean now, we cannot completely put down our guns and shields. This will make the people of the kingdom gradually indulge in comfort, become cowardly, and fear war, and eventually they will become like the Taiji was wiped out by a new rising force! Therefore, how to control the balance between the two is a headache for me, for you, and for our descendants in future generations, but it is a very important problem! "

Late at night, Clotokatax returned to the mansion on the mountainside, and after taking a shower, went into the bedroom.

Dido is sitting on the edge of the bed, holding the child, humming Ge Yao softly.

Seeing her husband come in, Dido asked the female servant standing beside him to carefully carry the sleeping child in his arms to the outhouse to sleep peacefully, and then asked in a low voice, "You're back, what did your father tell you to talk about?"

Clotokatax didn't answer immediately. He looked around and asked in a low voice, "Why didn't you see Chris?"

"I was left on the mountain by your mother again." Dido said coldly.

Hearing the anger in his wife's words, Clotokatax quickly comforted: "Mother loves Chris, and she will take good care of him. It's close anyway, so you don't have to worry."

"How dare I worry, your mother is a princess who is deeply respected by the people of Dionia, and even your father has to listen to her."

Dido sneered to express his dissatisfaction, and Clotokatax kept silent. He was used to it and knew that it was best not to speak at this time.

Sure enough, Dido just vented, and then asked, "Father told you to go, what did he say?"

"My father wants me to be the commander-in-chief of the expedition to Peloponnese." Clotokatax said truthfully.

If it was an ordinary woman's first thought of her husband's safety, but Dido's idea was different from that of ordinary people, she immediately asked in surprise: "Isn't the commander of that army Prosous? He has already led the army to capture it. After Messenia has made military exploits, how can you be taken over by you? Could it be that my father is going to send another army?"

"General Prosous is the prince of Sparta..." Clotokatax briefly described the situation.

"It turns out to be like this." Dido's pretty face showed joy: "I'm relieved now! You've been idle for so many days after coming back, and I'm still a little worried. Now it seems that my father is already prepared."

"This is my first time leading an army to expedition, why don't you worry about my safety, in case..." Clotokatax said half-jokingly and half-seriously.

"Father dared to let you go, he must have made thorough preparations, how could you be in danger. Dido bowed slightly, his chest half-covered by his pajamas showed a snowy white, she smiled, and the bedroom was bright: " Your Royal Highness, I first wish you a victory and return as a hero of the kingdom! "

Clotokatax swallowed: "Then do you want to give me some rewards in advance?" He then pushed his wife down on the bed...

…………………………………………

In the early morning, the Amendolara Mountains were shrouded in mist, and the houses on the mountain were shadowy, making it difficult to see them clearly.

The open space in front of the temple of Zeus on the top of the mountain (some people proposed to convert the temple of Zeus into the temple of Hades, the protector of the kingdom many years ago, but the old people opposed it, they thought it was because of the protection of the temple of Zeus , Many Amendolaras survived the invasion of the Lucanians. Due to their persistence, this temple has now become the only temple of Zeus in Greater Greece, and people from other towns often come to worship ), hundreds of young men in military uniforms stood in neat ranks.

In front of the team stood an old man with white hair and beard. Although his face looked old, his figure was relatively strong. He was Ketisus.

At this moment, he said solemnly: "Alsinis, are everyone here?"

"To...not yet...there is still one missing." The young man at the head said hesitantly.

"Who's missing?!" Ketisus shouted vigorously.

"Um...that...Tependez."

"Alsinis, although you are only temporarily serving as a company captain for military training." Ctisus rebuked dissatisfiedly: "But since you have become a team officer, you should strictly perform your duties instead of trying to cover up. My friends, you must know that military law is unforgiving, the reason why the Dionysian Legion is invincible is because we have strict discipline, do you understand?!”

"Understood, military training officer!" The youth responded in unison.

"Immediately form a column and march 50 laps around the square!"

A circle around the square of the Temple of Zeus is about 150 meters, 50 circles is 7500 meters, and the young people are all wearing armor and holding wooden sticks and wooden shields (because it is only training, so no real gun shields are used), This exercise is quite large. But none of the youths raised any objections, and the action began immediately.

At this time, a young man hurried into the square: "Report!"

"Tepandes, you're quite early!" Ketisus glared at him.

Hearing this, Terpandes shivered subconsciously.

"Alsinis, according to military law, what should be the punishment for being late in training?" Ketisus asked coldly. This time Alsinis didn't hesitate: "Ten army sticks should be fined!"

"Tependez, did you hear that?!"

Trepanderston panicked and actively tried to defend: "Uncle Ketisus, I'm because—"

"There are only soldiers and instructors on the training ground, get down!" Ketisus strode over and kicked Tepandes unceremoniously.

Terpandes didn't dare to dodge, and after taking a hard kick, he obediently lay on the ground, which was still a little wet.

It seems that Terpandes is very well-behaved, but in fact his background is not ordinary. The second son of the army commander Trotiras, of course, these young people are almost all from noble backgrounds, such as Matonis, Olivers, Georgius, A Garcia... The sons of many generals and ministers of the kingdom are among them. The Alsinis who was temporarily designated as the company captain is the adopted son of the army commander Melisanda.

After all, Amendolara, the birthplace of the Dionysian Holy Kingdom, is a special case. Therefore, many retired soldiers of the Legion have shunned the post of military trainer in Amendolara, but Ketisus is different. He is a former Persian mercenary. The first captain of the legion, with enough prestige, dared to train these young people strictly in accordance with the military law, and the young people who were punished did not even dare to go home and file a complaint, because not only did it not work, but he would be beaten up by his father.
