"Why don't we support another..." Phoebe Das suggested.

Agcilius' eyes lit up, and then he thought of something, raised his head and smiled at Phoebe Das with a self-deprecating smile: "Now I support Dionysius, or support the Syracuse rebels, this It’s no longer up to our Spartans to call the shots."

Phoebe Das was taken aback, and subconsciously said, "Who will call the shots?" Then he understood.

Agsilius looked at him and said solemnly: "Dionia defeated Syracuse and caused such a heavy loss to Syracuse. It has become the dominant force in Great Greece and Eastern Sicily. Who...

Furthermore, as you said earlier, Dionia now has a huge army of at least 50,000, and the military organization that constitutes this army, which they call the "legion", is very powerful, and they also have the ability to Defeat the huge fleet of the Syracuse Navy! ...... How can such a powerful force rise behind Sparta, how can I not worry about it!

What's more, Crythorpes had visited Turei before, and the new king of Dionia was quite dissatisfied with our Sparta’s assistance to Syracuse’s invasion of Greece! After Dionia, who was hostile to Sparta, ended the war with Syracuse, in case...join the war that is going on in Corinth, against us Sparta..."

Although Agsilius didn’t finish his words, from his eyes that lost his sharp light, Phoebe Das could feel the Spartan king’s hidden fear of Dionia: Yes. ! At this time, Sparta, which was constrained by the war in Asia Minor and the Corinthian War, was simply unable to prevent tens of thousands of troops from landing on the coast of Sparta under the leadership of a powerful fleet!

But Phoebedas moved in his heart, and he hurriedly said: "When the Dionians were besieging Syracuse’s army in Siritian, I went to meet the King Daves of Dionian. He implicitly stated,'As long as Sparta is not an enemy of Dionian, Dionian has no intention of being an enemy of Sparta'."

"Really?! Tell me in detail about the situation when you met!" Agassilaus came to his spirits.

After listening to Phoebedas’ narration, Agsilius pondered for a long time and sighed: “Dionia may want to be the second Syracuse, but it is indeed not bound by Sparta. Syracuse, it makes us feel very difficult... Phoebe Das, did you know that Tarantum sent an envoy to Sparta yesterday, hoping to get our help, because Dionia wants Taran Tohm merged into its alliance."

"What?! Dionia wants to annex Tarantum, this is never allowed! Tarantum is our sub-state!" Phoebedas was taken aback and expressed his opposition without hesitation.

"The young new king of Dionia is very ambitious, but now no Greek city-state can stop him!" Agsilius looked a little helpless, and he fell into contemplation again.

Finally, Agsilius made up his mind. He held down his left leg with one hand and propped the wooden table with the other. He said to Phoebe Das with a serious expression: "Now we must first stop the Dionians from facing the tin. Rakuza and his allies will further suppress and even occupy! Tomorrow, I will propose in the Council of the Elders... Since Dionysius has lost control of Syracuse, we can only temporarily support the rebellion. The army, quickly restore the strength of Syracuse to counter the power of Dionia in the Western Mediterranean. At that time, you will go to Syracuse as a Spartan envoy to resolve its civil strife as soon as possible!"

"I see!" Phoebe Das nodded immediately.

"In addition, since the new king of Dionia has expressed no hostility towards us, we will send Grithorpes to Greater Greece and have a good talk with him, hoping to make an agreement. , To be able to restrain Dionia, but also to let us feel at ease!"

Phoebedas felt a little uneasy after hearing what Agsilius said. He wanted to remind a few words, but he didn't know where to start.

Agsilius did not notice the expression of Phoebe Das, he was still immersed in his thoughts: "...Ah, our war with Persia...There are also Corinth, Thebes, Athens, Argos The war has lasted too long! If this continues, it will only weaken our Spartan power and reduce our prestige in the Greek world. On the contrary, it will benefit powers like Dionia! We have to find a way to end this A meaningless long war!"

……………………………

After the siege failed, Silos summed up his experience, rebuilt the siege equipment, and made a siege plan.

Two days later, Hiros launched another attack on the city of Medema, and the battle was fierce until the city broke in the afternoon, and the combined forces of Dionia and Lijim occupied Medema.

According to Davos's order, Hiros did not have any mercy this time. He captured the Medima people in the city, demoted them all to slaves, and sent troops back to Turei.

This act of killing chickens and scaring monkeys shocked Lorry and Tarantum, especially Lorry. The loss of Madmar meant that the Dionian army to the west could no longer be hindered and could Enter Lokri territory through the mountain road, and Lokri will also face the two-sided attack of Dionia and Corenlia.

What worries Lorry even more is: through the understanding of the battle in the north during this period, they sadly discovered that Syracuse’s expeditionary army itself is still difficult to protect, and it is impossible for Lorry to bring any hope!

The chief general Demodocas, under the pressure of most council members, had to decide to betray his brother-in-law and send an envoy to the Siricin Court to appeal to Dionia.

However, when Daves has an absolute advantage, how can he easily spare Lockey? He put forward two conditions: first, Demodocus and his cronies must be expelled; second, Lorraine must be merged into the Dionian League.

The news came back to Lockley, and the people were in an uproar.

Daves had no intention of caring about Lockrie, who had already stirred up an uproar by his remarks, and he was ready to accept the surrender of the Siracusa army in Siritin.

Initially, Facipesas sent an envoy to the Dionian camp, just for a truce and peace.

However, Daves categorically refused, and he unquestionably proposed to the messenger: The Siracusa army in Siriting must surrender unconditionally, and Dionia will protect their lives!

Of course, he made a promise: Dionia will return them safely to their hometown in no more than three months, but this does not include the mercenary cavalry who killed countless Dionia people!

At the same time, Daves also took the initiative to introduce the current situation in eastern Sicily to the messenger, and showed him the letters written by the city states of Katane, Siculi, Leottini, etc., requesting attachment.

The shock in the messenger's heart could not be added, and he returned to Xiliting in despair.

As soon as he entered the city, he was stopped by the soldiers and couldn't wait to inquire about the negotiation situation.

Faced with the soldiers who surrounded him on the third floor and the third floor, the messenger finally confided the negotiation process truthfully.

The soldiers never thought: they went thousands of miles away to fight, but there was already a riot in their hometown. No wonder Dionysius would leave them behind and fled back to Sicily alone!

Compared with the left-behind fascipesus and other Siracusa generals who were skeptical of the news brought back by the messenger, the soldiers were completely panicked. They gathered again in front of the commander’s mansion, shouting "Promise to wear The slogan that the Onyas demanded, we want to go home, and even wounded the guards several times, trying to forcibly break into the house, frightened Fasipezas and others.

At this moment, the Numibian cavalry, who learned that they would not be spared by the Dionians, tried to escape from Siritin in order to survive, and suddenly launched against the defenseless Syracuse garrison soldiers. Attacked.

At the same time, Leptinius, who realized that the situation was not good, led more than 20 warships willing to follow him to leave the port, and were intercepted by the Dionian fleet that had been prepared in advance.

After a chase at sea, seven warships fled. The remaining ships were either captured or sank. This included the ship of Leptinius, who was taken out of the sea by Dionian sailors. Rescued and became a prisoner.

On this day, the city of Xiliting was in chaos and the hustle and bustle was shaking the sky.

The Dionian scouts outside the city are 100 meters away from the city wall, and you can hear the screams and screams in the city.

They immediately reported the news to Daves.

Daves took no action.

The turmoil in the city continued for a day.

The next day, the gate of Siriting opened wide. Generals such as Facipesas led soldiers who took off their armors and threw away their shields and spears, as well as more than 30,000 people including freedmen and slaves. surrender. At the same time, they also presented the heads of the hundreds of Numibians who caused chaos in the city yesterday and were eventually besieged and killed.

The entire Dionia camp was full of cheers, and after months of **** and bitter battle, the invading army in Syracuse was finally wiped out!

Daves ordered these tens of thousands of prisoners to be imprisoned, and led his army into Siriting City, arranging for manpower to re-clean and repair the city that had been dilapidated by the Syracuse army.

…………………………………

The Syracuse rebel envoy Ferrosanus originally planned to land in Crotone and came to the Dionian camp. He did not expect to be intercepted by the Dionian fleet in the sea near Siritian. Living.

Only then did he know that Syracuse's army had all surrendered to Dionia, and he couldn't help being surprised. He originally wanted to use the "persuade to surrender the Syracuse army" as a bargaining chip to negotiate with Dionia, but now he failed.

Uneasy, he went ashore in the harbor and soon saw Daves.

Daves had heard of the famous Sicilian poet from Ansitanos, but he obviously didn’t chant the poems right, but straightforwardly dealt with the money he wanted to return to the Syracuse prisoners. Rosanus said: Dionia and Syracuse are in a state of war, so it is impossible for Dionia to release them at this time, so that they can take up the shield and spear to fight Dionia after returning. !
