The soldiers guarding the camp gate saw Daves and Antonios and let them go directly. Stop the Hiros and the others. Daves didn't have time to pay attention to their yelling, and followed Antonios just running north. After running for a while, I saw a group of people in front of me.
Clearkus was walking and talking with the younger brother Sister of the Queen of Persia who was here to greet him, and suddenly heard a shout from behind: "Stop! Stop! This is a conspiracy! A Persian conspiracy! !!!......"
The five leaders, more than a dozen squadron captains, and two hundred soldiers who escorted them and prepared to go to the market to buy them were all startled, and immediately stopped and looked back.
Davos rushed to them, faced many strange eyes, and said out of breath: "This is a conspiracy!... Tisafonis is ready to... ready to kill you all! So we don't have a leader, so It will fall into chaos and lead to the destruction of the whole army!"
Several leaders subconsciously looked at the Persian messenger Sister.
Sister pointed at Daves very angrily, and shouted: "Who is he?! To say such a thing! It is you who asked for the meeting, and Tisafonis responded to Clearkus's request. Treat him warmly, and this is how you are reporting back to the Persian commander-in-chief Tissafunis?! This not only insults him! It also insults our king!! You go back! I will report this to Tissafunis And suggested that he report to your majesty and suggest that your majesty cancel the agreement with you Greeks!"
Several leaders hurriedly stopped his horse and apologized.
Daves did not expect that this meeting was the request of Klarkus, and he did not care much, and said eagerly: "Even if you want to meet, not all the leaders and captains should go to the Persian military camp! Haven't we been on guard against the Persians all the time! Who knows that Tisafonis has been friendly to us for more than ten days, not to numb us?! Have you forgotten his previous treachery?!"
As soon as Daves’s voice fell, Menon jumped out to curse and vent his anger over the past ten days: "Bold fanatic! Shameless liar! You not only cheated the soldiers in the barracks, incited them to oppose Me! Now I want to destroy the peace between us and the Persians! Do you want to make everyone unable to get home!!! Come on, get me arrested!!"
However, none of the soldiers obeyed his orders. First, he only brought two squadron captains with no other entourage; second, some soldiers recognized Daves as the long-rumored "favorite" in Menon's barracks, and they were whispering.
At first, several leaders heard Davers's words and hesitated in their hearts. Who knew Menon's scolding immediately made them hate Davers. Although Menon is of poor character, after all he has been with him for a long time, and several leaders also know that he is not weak. It is undoubtedly a taboo of the leaders that an ordinary soldier dared to rebel against the commander.
Clearkus has a different idea. He was surprised to think that Menon had hired a soldier to act here and wanted to disrupt the meeting. Because this meeting had another purpose: Tissafunis promised him that he was willing to point out in public who was fornicating with the Persian army and creating rumors among the mercenaries.
Clearkus always guessed that it was Menon. Because from the beginning of the invasion of Persia, Menon had openly competed with him for the command of the Greek mercenaries, and now he has been staying with Alireus, who is already close to Tisafonis, and has been with Socrates several times in private. , Achilles contacted the secret chat, definitely to oppose him. This time, he must expose his villain face in public to consolidate his command. Because he firmly believes that only he has the ability to bring the army back to Greece intact. This is also why he hates the Persians, but he bears the humiliation to negotiate with Persia. He hates any villain who destroys the unity of the team.
So, he immediately followed the boat and said: "Since Menon has said so, then take this clown-like man and send it back to the camp for interrogation when we come back!"
He looked around and said decisively: "Now I'm going to negotiate with Tisafonis! Those who believe in me will go with me, and those who don't believe in can go back!" After speaking, a few soldiers will go over and wear them. Firth pressed down, Antonios stepped forward to stop him, and was also taken down.
Clearkus strode northwards, Proxinus and the others hesitated and followed. Menon spit on Davers's face, proudly cursing: "When I come back, you are dead!!" After finishing speaking, he moved forward with a big smile. Most of the soldiers followed their leader and only a few soldiers who had heard of Daves' miracle stayed in place.
Davos didn't care about Menon at the moment, he was pressed to the ground and took a mouthful of dirt. He struggled, yelling in the direction where the leaders were leaving: "Clearkus, you idiot! Your stubbornness will not only harm yourself, but also the whole army! You will regret it! By the time, the time comes. You must have no time to regret it!..."
However, his cursing did not bring back Klarkus, and the figures of the leaders grew further and further away and blurred. Finally, Daves calmed down and sat down on the ground. Before, he thought that Clearkus was a "famous general" and he should be sober-minded, but he didn't expect to be so stubborn that he couldn't listen to any opinions. In fact, Davers didn't know that most Spartan men were conservative and stubborn, and made up their minds, often not hitting the south wall and not looking back. The most famous is that before the Battle of Platia in the Hippo War, the commander of the Greek coalition forces ordered the troops to retreat, but a Spartan general believed that retreating in front of the enemy was against the Spartan tradition, and repeated persuasion. Refusal to retreat caused the Spartan army to drag behind the team, almost leading to the defeat of the battle.
The marching team continued to move forward, and the soldiers escorting Daves pushed him back. Instead, the soldiers who stayed stepped forward to introduce themselves and comfort Davers.
At this time, Antonios had time to spare, and asked: "Davers, the chiefs are they really in danger?"
"The sheep go to negotiate with the wolf, what good results will there be!" Davers sighed. Such scams are countless in the history of ancient and modern China and abroad. The main reason why Tisafonis's strategy was successful was that Clearkus and the others had illusions about the peace talks, and the trust of others in Clearkus outweighed their worries about their own safety. I still don't have enough influence!
"What should we do?" Antonios panicked.
What to do? Of course it's self-help! ! Daves suddenly thought of Xenophon. Why did he boast in his book that he led this retreat? It turned out to be because of this-more than 20 mercenary leaders and captains were massacred, and the entire Greek mercenary leadership was facing a reshuffle! !
Thinking of this, he cast aside his frustration and re-energized: "Quick! Let's go back!"
…………………………
Along the way, Menon added fuel and vinegar to Proxinus and they talked about Daves’ "wrong deeds", which successfully aroused their anger, secretly cheering in their hearts: This time it can be considered to be able to completely clean up this big trouble. NS!
Before arriving at the Persian military camp, most of the soldiers who were going to the market to buy and sell bid farewell to the leaders.
Entering the Persian military camp, the sight that Klarkus saw was no different from what he saw when he left here yesterday. There were even some casual Persian soldiers who looked at them curiously and talked about "Why so many Greek barbarians" "Come to our barracks" and the like, on the contrary, made Klarkus and the others relieved.
At the big account of Tissafunis, Sister went in to report and came out and said: "Five leaders, please come in, the others are waiting outside the account for the time being!"
Clearkus was the first to enter. The light inside the tent was dim. He squinted his eyes and found that there were many people in the big tent. He was shocked. Before he could react, he heard a shout: "Take it down." !!!"
