In the tent was silent for a while, and then I heard Olivers say: "It's a shame that Cyrus died in battle! Although he is a prince of Persia, he is very polite to people and likes to help people. He is also very handsome and loved by women. Even the queen of Silesia has become his mistress. If he does not die, he will be a good king!"
Good-looking, can pick up girls, is a good king? What kind of **** logic! Daves slandered himself secretly.
"Yes! Little Cyrus does not look down on us like other Persians. He is sincere to us Greeks! If he becomes king, the relationship between our Greeks and Persians will definitely get better!" Gio Gris said.
"And he is a warrior, not as weak as other Persians!" Matonis echoed.
"The most important thing is that he is generous! He gave us a lot of gold coins!" Olivers emphasized again, and everyone even claimed to be.
Is this a memorial service for Cyrus? Daves was amused. According to the memory of his body, he couldn't help but said: "Is Cyrus a generous? I don't think so! You see, first of all, he owes us more than three months of salary, and he hasn't given it until Afterwards, the King of Silesia reviewed the troops and only paid out four months of money."
"When we suspected that Cyrus the Younger was preparing to fight with the King of Persia and refused to move forward, in order to persuade us, he agreed to increase our salary from one Dalik to one and a half. Two months later. Did he give it? Don’t forget, he once ordered us to threaten the King of Silesia, and the timid king gave him a lot of money. When we knew Cyrus’ plan, we made a lot of noise at the rally When the young Cyrus promised to take Babylon, he would give us five mena's silver coins. But did he give it?"
For a long while, Olivers replied bitterly: "He is dead!"
"Look, little Cyrus did not spend a silver coin of his own, so he took us to this place about three thousand miles away from Greece-on a land full of dangerous enemy countries. If at first, he Just tell us to go to war with the Persian king, will we agree?"
The three people shook their heads like puppets.
"He concealed the truth. Give a little benefit at a time, just like using grass to lure the sheep forward. In the end, you can't agree to disagree." Daves sighed and said, "Little Cyrus is a clever liar. ! Without paying any price, let us more than 10,000 Greeks fight to the death for his conspiracy. It's amazing!"
There was another silence in the tent, and soon I heard Olivers scolding: "Damn little Cyrus! Damn Persian! And that idiot Menon! Actively let us be the vanguard every time, saying yes Little Cyrus will be grateful to us, and can give us more in return. Menon, this fool, not only has a rotten mouth, but also a rotten head. Sooner or later we will be killed by him!...Oh...My stomach...I all I'm starving to death!"
Daves was funny when he saw Olivers making a fuss there. Not to mention the intrigue that I used to see in the government before, the Kangxi Emperor, the Qianlong dynasty... in the TV are endless, even if I have never eaten pork, I have seen pigs run!
Little Cyrus was born in the palace, the conspiracy base camp of mankind. How simple is it to be the military commander in western Persia. Just by watching him flicking the Greeks around, you can see that his wrists are great. As for Menon, I am afraid that he is not stupid. As a mercenary leader, he may have known little Cyrus's plan to push his compatriots into the fire pit, but it was just lustful.
"Davers, you couldn't say such things before. You are really...really..." Matonis asked cautiously.
Davers knew that Matonis had a good relationship with "self" because of their similar personalities. So he said: "Martonis, no matter what happens. I am still me, and I have always been your good brother! I have always been thankful for your care for me! I hope you can continue to help me!" Daves wants to talk about the "God" in a vague way. If he wants to play a 19-year-old simple-minded Greek, he doesn't want to pretend, and he can't pretend. , It's better to let others just think so, this should be... good. Therefore, he neither denies nor admits the vague answer.
Unexpectedly, it lifted Matonis spirit: "Don't worry! With me, no one dares to bully you!"
"Daves, can we go home?" Georgris' voice was full of worry.
Obviously, Daves' revelation of Cyrus the young made them doubt their own abilities.
Davers smiled bitterly. Although he did not understand the development process of this historical event, Chinese history told him that the emperor of a feudal dynasty hated nothing more than treason. It should be the same if you want to come to the West. Moreover, they are still Gentiles, invaders. Unless the king of Persia is mentally ill, he will absolutely wipe them out to frighten all those who have different intentions!
As for attacking the Persian army, take Babylon. Daves is not optimistic, otherwise the name of this event should be called "The Great March of the Greeks", not the "Great Retreat". However, he said: "Don't worry! We can go home smoothly."
He tilted his head and looked at the other people's expressions clearly more relaxed, and sighed inwardly: This group of simple-minded guys would be better. Without thinking about how dangerous the current situation is, it is also a kind of happiness to put my life on my "oracles".
Daves was thinking, with a move in his heart, he suddenly remembered a movie "2012" that he had seen in his previous life: When the disaster comes, those rich and powerful can easily sit on seven Noah’s Ark, but ordinary Common people depend on luck...Yes, being a chess piece can only be at the mercy of others; as a chess player, you can control your destiny in your own hands! But how can one become a chess player?
………………………
In the afternoon, the Hiros team was allocated half a bag of wheat flour and a dozen dates.
Everyone struggled and started making bread. Daves actively helped, asking questions as he did it, because he got the theory out of memory.
The practice of ancient Greek bread is actually similar to Chinese pasta, and the most important thing is fermented products. Bread is the staple food of the Greeks, marching and fighting, yeast is also carried with them, and it is well preserved.
After kneading the flour, place it on an iron plate and bake it with the picked firewood. In the evening, everyone ate the simple bread. I filled my stomach and fell asleep in a hurry.
In the early morning of the next day, Hiros woke everyone up and told them: "The messenger of Alireus is here, and it is said that he is going to take the troops back to his hometown of Asia. The leaders are not willing to go back empty-handed to him. He promised, "If Alireus is willing to continue to attack Babylon with them. They are willing to treat him as the king of Persia, and they sent Grithorpes and Menon to follow the messenger to persuade Alireus."
"Why send Menon?" Matonis asked puzzledly.
"Don't you know that Menon has a good relationship with Alireus?" Olivers smiled ambiguously.
"Can they convince Alireus?" Geogris said worriedly.
Everyone turned their eyes to Daves, and after one night, he had become their spiritual backbone. Daves felt a lot of pressure, but he did not escape, he pondered for a while, and then shook his head: Alireus is a Persian nobleman, and it can be said that he was forced to participate in the rebellion as an adjutant of Cyrus. Now if he confesses with the Greeks again, once he fails, not only will he be finished, but his family may also be implicated. If he is really ambitious, he should take over everything about Cyrus the first time he learns of the death of Cyrus, and unite with the Greek mercenaries in time. It was not until today that he wanted to go home. Obviously, he made a decision after repeated consideration.
Received negative answers, disappointed expressions appeared on everyone's faces.
"Brothers, these should be things that the leaders should worry about. Let's do what we should do." Shiros said hurriedly, "Menon asked us to slaughter all the excess animals in the squad and prepare more food. ."
Finally I'm full! The news temporarily dispelled the gloom in everyone's hearts.
