Chapter 122 Paulsonius and Tiger

So even though Pausanias was expelled for his crimes, the Tigeras still regarded him as a guest of honor. In the following 10 years, Pausanias did not live in decadence, and he worked hard to become Tigerya and A bridge of communication between Spartans, and actively integrated into the Taigea society, not only became friends with many Taigea members, but also was elected to the Taigea noble council.

However, due to the long-term continuation of the Thebes War in these years, even as a close ally of Sparta, it is inevitable to provide a large amount of military rations every year, and to send citizens to assist in the battle, even if there is Baosang Nias tried to heal from it, but the growing trend of disaffected Spartan Taiga didn't change, so after the Spartan army's disastrous defeat at Leuctra, the Arcadians had to form an alliance again. , seeking to break away from Sparta, in such a situation that many Tigeans were inspired, and eventually the anti-Spartans prevailed in the parliament, and Tigea joined the Arcadia Alliance.

The pro-Spartans quietly informed Sparta of the news in time, and this is how "Sparta warned the Arcadians to immediately cancel the alliance, or else there would be war".

The Arcadia alliance headed by Mandinia categorically refused. Although there was a conflict in the city of Taigea, in the end Taigea decided to follow the alliance to fight against Sparta, seeing that the cloud of war was about to cover Taige. Ya, the Tygeans began to panic, Pausanias was going to take this opportunity to persuade the Tygeans to return to the arms of Sparta, but the Dionys suddenly invaded Messenia, and the whole situation became Big change.

Dionia... Pausanias vaguely remembers: it was a newly established city-state in Greater Greece. When Phoebedas returned from his mission to Greater Greece, he also spoke ill of this city-state, which was met by many people. The ridicule of Sparta, as the overlord of Greece, did not take that small colonial city-state in its eyes at all.

After Pausanias went into seclusion in Tygea, the news was even more obscure, and rumors were occasionally heard, "Dionia fought a war with Syracuse, and won... Dionia fought a war with Carthage, Victory..." He only sighed at the time: "This city-state is quite belligerent!" Then he forgot about it, and didn't take this city-state too seriously, after all, the affairs of the Western Mediterranean were far from Taigea. Inland city-states are still too far away, Pausanias is more concerned with the affairs of the Peloponnese.

And now the kingdom of the Western Mediterranean has sent an army across the sea to attack Sparta, and hit Sparta's dead spot as soon as it came, Messenia was captured, Sparta suffered heavy losses, and then Arcadia The alliance formed an alliance with Dionia, and the anti-Spartan faction in the city of Taigea completely dominated... Pausanias saw it in his eyes, and it hurt in his heart, and once had the idea of ​​leaving Taigea, but Where can he go when he is already old? !

These days, he has kept his house closed. On the one hand, he is to prevent being attacked by the anti-Spartans, and on the other hand, he does not want to see the bad situation again and make him worry.

That night, Paulsonius, who had eaten dinner, was walking in the courtyard to digest his food, and the servant came to report to him: "Master,

Someone is begging outside. "

"Who?"

"He said it was an old friend of yours, but the dress was a little mysterious."

Doubtful, Paulsonius came to the door himself.

Two men stood outside the door: a slave supporting the other with a hood.

"What's your business with me?" Paulsonius asked in a cold voice, his eyes widening to see the face of the hooded man.

The man said, "Pausanias, I haven't seen you for more than ten years, you are old!"

"Who are you?" The voice was both familiar and unfamiliar, and Paulsonius couldn't remember who it was.

The man lifted his hood at once, and Paulsonnie Aston was taken aback: "Agasilaus, why are you here?!"

"You scream louder, and my life will end." Agsilaus reminded half-jokingly.

Pausanias immediately woke up and quickly looked at the street outside the door. Fortunately, there was no one there. He hurriedly welcomed the two of them into the house and closed the door before he said in a deep voice, "Agasilaus, are you? The king of Sparta, the commander-in-chief of the Spartan army, ignored his army during the war and ventured to sneak into this place. Do you think Taigea is still the previous Taigea! Now it is very dangerous here! In case you are discovered, Captured, what a blow to the Spartan army! Can they still defeat the Dionysians! …”

Pausanias looked distressed, and his words were full of rebukes, as if he was still the king of Sparta.

Agsilaus smiled: "Although you have left Sparta for more than 10 years, you are still a Spartan."

"I don't have time to gossip with you now." Pausanias said with a serious expression: "You hurry out of the city now! If the person who arranged for you to enter the city does not dare to help, let me arrange it for you."

Agesilaus restrained his smile, looked at the old king, and responded with a very solemn expression: "I infiltrated Taigea to save Sparta! Only let Taigea be completely for Sparta. Only then will we have a chance to defeat the Dionian army, otherwise Sparta will cease to exist!"

Paulsonius was stunned for a moment, and then asked with concern: "The situation in Sparta is serious now?"

"Very serious!" Agesilaus immediately stated the difficulties and dangers faced by the Spartan army.

Pausanias stood there for a while, and when the worry covered his face full of ravines, he sighed: "Now the anti-Spartans in the city of Taigea have the clear upper hand, if you want to make Taigea in the It is very difficult to become an ally of Sparta again in a short period of time!”

"As long as we have your help, we can do it!" Agesilaus replied confidently, and then he explained his plan and everything.

Pausanias listened with a gloomy expression on his face. Thinking of the disaster that the Taiga people who had a good relationship with him were about to face, he couldn't help but say, "Will this be too cruel?"

"If you don't do this, the fate that Sparta will face will be more tragic than this!" Agesilaus said in a heavy tone.

Pausanias was silent for a moment, and then said with a resolute expression: "You just wait here, I will immediately contact all the most trusted and closest to Sparta and the most trustworthy Senator Taiga..."

"Pausanias!" Agesilaus stopped him and said solemnly: "I believe that after we defeat the Dionysian army, the council of elders, the Ombudsman and the people will forgive you for the crimes you committed. fault!"

At that moment, the 70-year-old former King of Sparta suddenly had tears in his eyes. He took a breath and said with emotion: "Agasilaus, you are getting old too! Bada...will be rescued by our two old fellows who are about to go to earth!"

………………………………………………

Since the siege of Mandinia resolved itself, the Dionysian army had remained in the camp, because Clotokataxes had taken Printoles's advice.

They had already received a message from Sekelian that the First Fleet had begun patrolling the Aegean Sea, cutting off the main supply channel for the Spartan mercenaries.

Although Clotokatax was worried that the actions of the First Fleet would arouse the dissatisfaction of other Greek city-states, Plintos was more concerned that the initiative of the First Fleet would make the Spartan army In a predicament, because Sparta’s national strength was seriously damaged at this time, and most of its former allies had defected. Unlike Dionia, which has an endless fleet of ships to deliver supplies to Mesenia every day, it does not There may be enough rations to sustain such a large army. As long as the Dionysian army can't hold fast, it will not be long before the Spartan army collapses on its own or is forced to take some risky military action, and then the Dionysian army can win the victory at a small cost. .

Therefore, when the mountain scout soldiers found out that about six or seven thousand soldiers from Sparta were joining the Spartan mercenaries in Taigea, Printoles not only did not feel nervous, but felt very relaxed. Because the addition of the Spartan army will undoubtedly lead to more tight rations, and the defense in Sparta will inevitably become empty due to insufficient troops. So he advises Crotokatax:

1. Continue to build the defensive measures of the camp to prevent the attack of the Spartan army.

2. Order Cykrian to continue trying to land on the coast of Spartan territory and put pressure on the Spartans.

3. Send more reconnaissance cavalry and reconnaissance soldiers, expand the scope of reconnaissance to the north of Taigea, and try to destroy and cut off the possible supply channels of the Spartan army.

Klotokatax adopted them one by one, and then Plintors persuaded the commanders of the legions to follow suit.

Half a day later, Clotokatax received another messenger from Thebes. The news that came out of his mouth not only surprised Clotokatax, but also changed Printols' mood. Badly: Priests of Delphi and Olympia, along with the Corinthians, are running around, plotting to form an alliance of Greek city-states, plotting against Dionia!

Whether it was Clotokatax or Printoles, from the day they set foot on the Peloponnesian land, everything went relatively smoothly, despite Davos's advice, As well as Leoticides' warning before he left, they still had the illusion that "the task given by King Davos should be able to be completed step by step". If it wasn't for the reminder from Thebes, they would never have thought of it. The arrival of the Dionian army will cause strong resistance in the Greek Holy Land, and prepare to set off a huge wave to drown them.
