So even though Pausanias was expelled for sin, the Taigeya people still regarded him as a distinguished guest. In the following 10 years, Pausanias did not live by decadence, and he worked hard to become a Thai A bridge of communication between Geya and Sparta, and actively integrated into the Taigeya society, not only became friends with many Taigeya councillors, but also was elected to the Taigeya Noble Council.

However, due to the long-term continuation of the Thebes War in recent years, even the Taga allies, which are close to Sparta, will inevitably provide a large amount of military rations every year and send citizens to assist in the fight, even if There are Pausanias trying to bridge it, but the trend of increasing numbers of Taga who are dissatisfied with Sparta has not changed. So when the Spartan army was defeated in Leuktra, the Arcadians again To establish an alliance and seek to break away from Sparta, many Tagaians were inspired in this situation. Eventually, the anti-Spartans prevailed in the parliament, and Taga joined the Arcadian League.

The pro-Spartan faction quietly informed Sparta of the news in time, and then "Spartan warned the Arcadians to immediately cancel the alliance, or war will usher in".

The Arcadian Alliance headed by Mandinia categorically refused. Although there was a conflict in the city of Taga, Taga eventually decided to follow the alliance and fight against Sparta, seeing the cloud of war approaching. Enveloping the Taga, the Tagaians began to panic. Baosanias was ready to take this opportunity to persuade the Tagaians to return to the embrace of Sparta. As a result, the Dionians suddenly invaded Messenia. The situation has changed drastically.

Dionia... Pausanias vaguely remembered: It was a newly established city-state in Great Greece. After Phoebeidas returned from his mission to Great Greece, he even said bad things about this city-state. Many people laughed at that, as the overlord of Greece, Sparta did not pay attention to that small colonial city at all.

After Pausanias settled in Tagaia, the news became more blocked, and occasionally heard rumors, "Dionia and Syracuse were at war, and they won...Dionia and Carthage. There is a war and victory..." He only sighed at the time: "This city-state is quite militant!" Then he left it behind and didn't take this city-state too seriously. After all, things in the Western Mediterranean are far from Thailand. Geya, an inland city-state, still seems too far away, and Pausanias pays more attention to the affairs of Peloponnese.

Now that Western Mediterranean kingdom sent an army to attack Sparta across the sea, and it hit Sparta’s cul-de-sac. Messenia was seized and Sparta suffered severe losses. The Alliance of Cardia and Dionia formed an alliance, and the anti-Spartan faction in the city of Tygoa had the upper hand... Pausanias saw it in his eyes, pained in his heart, and for a time there was a need to leave Tygoa. Thought, but where else can he go when he is already old? !

These days, he keeps his house closed, on the one hand to prevent anti-Spartan attacks, on the other hand, he does not want to see the bad situation again and make himself annoyed.

This evening, Pausanias, who had had dinner, was walking in the courtyard to eat, and the servants came to report to him: "Master, there is someone outside asking for a visit."

"Who?"

"He said he was an old friend of yours, but his outfit seemed a little mysterious."

With doubts, Pausanias came to the door in person.

Two people stood outside the door: a slave supported another with a hood.

"What are you looking for with me?" Pausanias asked coldly, his eyes widened to see the face of the man in the hood.

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

"Are you?" The voice was familiar and unfamiliar, and Pausanias couldn't remember who it was for a while.

The man lifted his hood suddenly, and Paul Sonny Aston was taken aback: "Agsilius, why are you here?!"

"Scream louder, my life will be over." Agcilius reminded him half-jokingly.

Paul Sanias immediately woke up and quickly surveyed the street outside the door. Fortunately, it was silent. He hurriedly welcomed them into the house and closed the door. Then he said in a deep voice, "Agsilius , You are the king of Sparta, the commander-in-chief of the Spartan army. During the war, you ignored the army and ventured into this place. Do you think Taigeya is still the old Taigeya! Now it is very dangerous! In case you What a blow to the Spartan army to be discovered and captured! Can they still defeat the Dionians!..."

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

Agsilius 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 right now." Pausanias said solemnly: "You go out of the city now! If the person who arranged you to enter the city dare not help anymore, I will arrange it for you."

Agsilius suppressed his smile, stared at the old king, and responded with a solemn expression: "I sneaked into Taga to save Sparta! Only let Taga do it completely. Only by using Sparta can we have a chance to defeat the Dionian army, otherwise Sparta will no longer exist!"

Paul Sannias was taken aback, and then asked with concern: "The situation in Sparta is very serious now?"

"Very serious!" Agcilius immediately explained the difficulties and dangers faced by the Spartan army.

Paul Sanias stood there for a while, and when worries covered his gully face, he sighed: "Now the anti-Spartans in Taigeya have a clear upper hand, if you want Tai It is difficult for Geya to become an ally of Sparta again in a short time!"

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

After listening to Pausanias, his face was gloomy and uncertain, thinking of the imminent disaster of the Taigeya who had a good relationship with him, and couldn't help saying: "Will this be too cruel?" /

"If you don't do this, the fate that Sparta will face will be even more tragic than this!" Agcilius said gravely.

Paul Sanias was silent for a moment, and then resolutely said: "You are waiting here, I will go and contact all the closest Spartan and most trustworthy representatives of Taigeya..."

"Paul Sanias!" Agcilius stopped him, and said solemnly: "I believe that after we defeat the Dionian army, the Council of Elders, the Ombudsman, and the people will forgive you. The mistakes you have committed!"

At that moment, the former King of Sparta in his 70s suddenly seemed to have tears flashing in his eyes. He sucked his nose and said emotionally, "Agsilius, you are getting old too! I didn't expect it. Today's Sparta... will be rescued by our two old guys who are about to land!"

Since the siege of Mandinia was resolved, the Dionian army has been staying in the camp. This is because Cloto Cataxes adopted Plintor's advice.

They have received news from Sekerian that the First Fleet has begun patrolling the Aegean Sea, cutting off the main food delivery channels for the Spartan mercenaries.

Although Klotokatax was worried that the actions of the First Fleet would arouse the dissatisfaction of other Greek city-states, but Plintors considered that the initiative of the First Fleet would cause The Bada army was in trouble, because the Spartan national power was severely damaged at this time, and most of the former allies were rebelled. Unlike Dionia, it itself has an endless fleet of ships to deliver supplies to Messenia every day. , It cannot have enough rations to maintain such a large army. As long as the Dionian army can’t stand out, the Spartan army will soon collapse on its own or be forced to take some risky military actions. By then, the Dionian army will be able to win victory at a relatively small price. .

So when the mountain detectives discovered that there were about six to seven thousand soldiers from Sparta who were joining the Spartan mercenaries in Tagia, Plintors did not feel nervous, but felt very emotional. It is relaxation, because the addition of the Spartan army will undoubtedly lead to tighter rations. At the same time, the defense in Sparta will inevitably become empty due to insufficient troops. Therefore, he suggested to Croto Kataks:

1. Continue to build defensive measures for the camp to guard against attacks by the Spartan army.

Second, order Sekelion to continue to try to land on the coast of the Spartan territory, and put pressure on the Spartans.

3. Send out more scouts and scout soldiers to extend the scope of investigation to the north of Taga, and try to destroy and cut off the possible food channels for the Spartan army.

Klotokatax adopted them one by one, and then Plintors persuaded the commanders of the corps to do the same.

Half a day later, Klotokatax received a messenger from Thebes again. The news from his mouth not only surprised Klotokatax but also Priintoles. The mood becomes bad: the priests of Delphi and Olympia, as well as the Corinthians are running around, planning to form a Greek city-state alliance, plotting against Dionia!

No matter it’s Croto Kataks or Plintors, from the day they set foot on the Peloponnese, everything went smoothly, despite the presence of Daves They still had the illusion that "it should be possible to gradually complete the task assigned by King Dafus". If it were not for the reminder of the Thebes, they would have Never expected that the arrival of the Dionian army would arouse strong resistance from the Holy Land in Greece, and prepare to set off a huge wave to drown them.
