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.

Mariji hurriedly avoided, and said in a flat tone: "It's nothing, everything is for the kingdom!"

"Izam, I went to Dukeya, how come you don't look like you anymore." Davers said jokingly: "Don't say thank you anymore, what I want to hear now is your adventure to Duke this time. Ya's detailed passage! Come, sit down, let's talk slowly."

The guards brought wooden chairs, and after several people sat down, Izam began to tell: "...After I arrived in Egypt with the vanguard of Karsidis, I boarded a board in the city of Naukrates, arranged by Lord Mariji. An Egyptian merchant ship actually belonging to his Persian friend, took it into the port of Issus, and followed a caravan prearranged by the Persian merchant to the plains of Mesopotamia—"

"Your Majesty, this Persian merchant is the Mazayas I mentioned to you before," 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 servant that he was still doing business near Babylon and did not return..."

Davos noticed the hesitation that Marigi showed in his answer, so he said in a gentle tone: "Persia is his mother country after all, and we can understand that he is not willing to completely fall, but we cannot forget what he has provided. Help, and after the victory, he will definitely be rewarded!"

"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 a bit 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 drinking water in the city of Corsotti.

Unexpectedly, the order on the Mesopotamian plain was even more chaotic. The caravan I was in was not only robbed, but also killed and injured several people. The materials carried were used by Dukeya to form reinforcements... It may be that the prestige established by our Dukeya people who defeated the Persian King's expedition army that year made the Persians fearful.

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

Speaking of this, Izam still seemed a little proud, and then his tone was low again: "When I saw my clan, I learned that my father had passed away 10 years ago, my eldest brother, and a few others. The brother died in that war against the Persians... Now my second brother Remi is in charge of the tribe, he was surprised but not very surprised by my sudden appearance, according to him all these years His tribe has been in close contact with Mazayas and several other caravans. Through them, he learned some things about Dionia, and even learned that not only did I not die, but I became a high-ranking official in the kingdom... ...Because Mr. Mariji let these caravans help the tribe all the time, my second brother is very fond of the kingdom. He is very happy that I can arrive in time, otherwise he doesn't know what to do next.

Because the King of Persia had already sent messengers to Dukeya, asking the tribes to send warriors to participate in the war against the kingdom. More than half of the tribes agreed one after another. Only some tribes headed by our tribe did not make a statement because of my second brother's opposition. As a result, the Dukya Tribe Assembly did not make 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 On the contrary, 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...

However, because the Kesokant tribe is now the most powerful tribe in the Dukeya Mountains, my second brother objected, and it was difficult for the entire Dukeya tribal alliance to reach a unified opinion. The Persian messenger pulled several tribal 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 in, but after the war is over, Persia will fight against the Kesokant tribe. The Saucant tribe treats them differently! ' It put a lot of pressure on Remy.

I told Remy about your plans, Your Majesty. Although he was somewhat tempted by your promise (allowing Dukeya to become independent after the victory of the war, and even the Kingdom will fully support him to become the King of Dukeya), he was still worried. I further analyzed the military strength of Dionia and Persia and the current situation in the Mediterranean to him in detail, and he reluctantly agreed and decided to agree to the request of the Persian messenger to lead the army into the war. "

"Has your second brother persuaded the other Dukeya tribes to join in the plan?" 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 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. Together to Taposacus?"

"Your Majesty, after the Dukeya Tribal Conference reached an agreement, the tribes successively formed armies to go to Mesopotamia. Although Remy led the most warriors, they were the first to set out. I dressed up as a Kesokant. The tribal warrior has always followed the second brother.

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. Well, we'll be stationed near the city of Opis, waiting for the rest of the Dukeya tribe to join us.

During this period, every day the armies rallied from the towns of the upper Tigris went to the city of Sittak further south of the city of Opis to meet--"

When Izam said this, Davos suddenly sighed, and said with some sigh: "Opis... Sittak... We also visited back then..."

Marigi answered immediately: "Your Majesty, this time you have plenty of time to re-visit these familiar Persian towns."

Davos looked at him and said with a nostalgic tone: "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 changes! I just hate myself for not meeting you earlier and serving you earlier!"

Listening to Marigi's sincere words of compliments, Davos nodded slowly and said softly, "It's my greatest luck to have the help of you and Mersis! You, take care of yourself, I still After this war is over, you will take me around the whole of Persia!"

"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 Duqya tribe troops stayed there for more than two months, and the reason why they did not move for such a long time, I heard that the main reason was that the Persian king was waiting for the Persian troops and Indians who came from the far east. During this period I also saw armies from Amelia, Taukia, and even the Cardans..."

Speaking of this, Izam's expression became a little dignified: "Afterwards, the large area closest to the two rivers was full of military camps, soldiers everywhere, and I can't count how many troops...my relatives Because of this, I have 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 to conquer Canaan... These news The news came one after another, and I had to persuade them to strengthen their confidence again!"
