Davos coughed slightly and said seriously: "Peropidas, someone told me that Thebes can regain independence and can fight against the Spartans for many years, and still have a slight advantage. , You played an important role in it!"

Pelopidas lifted his spirits. In these words, he felt the slightest hint of kindness revealed by Daves, and immediately replied humbly: "Thebes can have today. It is for all the people who love Thebes. As a result of the common struggle of the citizens, I just exerted all my strength like them. And this thing I have done is not worth mentioning compared with the powerful kingdom you have created."

"You are too modest." Daves smiled slightly. Apart from Plato, he was the first time he heard such a high evaluation from a powerful figure in Greece. He felt slightly complacent in his heart, so he patted the armrest and asked. Said: "What did you come to Turey for this time?"

"Your Majesty the King." Pelopidas solemnly said: "Ten days ago, Thebes was invited to Sparta to discuss the truce. The war lasted for so many years, and the land of Thebes suffered. When the Spartans wantonly destroy and the people’s lives are very difficult, we are very willing to stop the war and restore peace.

But Athens betrayed us during the negotiation. They joined forces with the Spartans, and with the strong support of the Persians, they pressed us together and forced us to dissolve the Piorcia Alliance, and their own alliance. But it was retained through such a contract..."

Pelopidas briefly summarized the content of the contract, and then said angrily: "Our messenger resisted the pressure and did not sign the contract, because once they agreed to their request, Pio was dissolved. Xia Alliance, if Sparta violates the contract again and launches an attack on Thebes, we will not be able to fight against it.

Because of our refusal, the Persians threatened us, saying that they would fully support Sparta and impose severe punishment on Thebes... So today I came to Turii to represent Thebes to Dio. Niya seeks support! "

After Pelopidas finished speaking, seeing Daves sitting firmly on the throne, stroking his chin, and groaning silently, he continued: "Before this peace talks, I heard that both Sparta and Athens One after another, people were sent to Persia to seek support. I also went to Babylon as an envoy of Thebes and was summoned by the king of Persia.

In the presence of our three envoys, the King of Persia clearly asked us to stop the war, and also said,'Dionia has ambitions for Greece, and only the united states of Greece can resist the Dionian army. The invasion of...' That's why the King of Persia sent envoys to vigorously promote this peace talks in Sparta. "

Daves’ heart moved: He didn’t think that Peropidas lied in order to seek Dionia’s support, because what he said is also corroborating why Persia had to let Sparta end early. On the peace agreement of Onia, it seems that the Persians have already started a game against Dionia!

Thinking of this, Daves looked at Pelopidas and slowly said: "Then you Thebes would think that Dionia is a threat to Greece?"

"I think what the King of Persia said is just a joke!" Pelopidas said indignantly: "The Persians are aliens. Since the beginning of the Hippo War, they have been delusional to annex the land of Greece and enslave the Greek people. In the past few decades, I have never stopped interfering in the political situation of the mainland of Greece. Nowadays, there are constant wars in Greece, which have a lot to do with Persia; and Dionia is a kingdom formed by the Greeks and has been living in harmony with the mainland of Greece since its establishment. There have not been any conflicts or wars. Who is good and who is bad is known by comparison.

That’s why I have come to ask your noble king to extend a helping hand to help Thebes and fight the coalition forces of Persia and Sparta, so that the cities of Greece can regain freedom and peace and no longer be under their control! If Dionia did this, it would not only smash a series of Persian conspiracies against Dionia in advance, it would also allow Dionia to win the prestige in Greece and the support of most city-states! "

Davos nodded and showed embarrassment: "You have some truth in what you said, but... Dionia and Sparta have been in friendly relations for more than ten years. The messenger said,'They will not be punished for ending the friendly agreement early -'"

"Your Majesty the King!" Pelopidas immediately persuaded: "Dionia keeps its promises and is famous in the Mediterranean Sea. It is admirable! But just after you earnestly fulfilled the friendly agreement with Sparta. What did the Spartans do for many years?

As far as I know, they violated the content of the agreement and secretly maintained contacts with Syracuse, taking the initiative to take in some of the remnants of Great Greece who hated Dionia. During the war between you and Carthage, these forces He also formed an army to invade the territory of Dionia. It is hard to say that there is no Spartan instigation...

The Spartans are insidious and cunning, as long as it is beneficial to them, they can do whatever it takes, the same is true for Thebes, and the same is true for Dionia. We must speak faith with them, just like cows and sheep facing evil wolves, we are always the ones who suffer!

Also, it has been almost a month since the Spartans tore up the agreement with Dionia. During this month, you did not have any hostile actions against Sparta, but you have fulfilled your promise. In addition, because of the truce negotiations this time, the war between Thebes and Sparta has ceased for a while, and peace has appeared in the eyes of the Greek people.

If Dionia and Thebes are allied, Sparta will attack Thebes again, it will let the Greek people know more clearly who the real war perpetrators are, and it will also let Diony The Asian people are more aware of how the Spartans treat the Dionians that they have maintained for more than 10 years! Of course, if they can take Dionia into consideration and really restore peace in Greece, I think it will be a good thing for everyone! "

Daves sighed and said, "It seems that you were treated by the Persian king on your visit to Persia. It is true that you can really persuade people."

Pelopidas was overjoyed, but humbly responded: "That's because what I said is the truth."

Davers finally said with a serious face: "In this case, I agree that the Kingdom of Dionian and Thebes form a military alliance. I hope this time our sincere dedication can be treated sincerely by each other!"

Although Pelopidas had some confidence in gaining Dionian’s support, he did not expect that King Dionian would be willing to form a military alliance with Thebes. It was immediately difficult to suppress the joy in his heart. All his faces are smiling.

Soon, Dionian Foreign Secretary Ancitanos and Pelopidas began to discuss alliance matters.

One day later, Ancitanos came to the palace and reported to Daves.

"Peropidas wants us Dionia to support Thebes in unifying the Piotsia area?" Daves frowned.

"Yes, Your Majesty. It seems that the Thebans have a strong obsession with this. I heard that when they negotiated contracts in Sparta, it was because Sparta forced them to dissolve the Thebes. And it led to the breakdown of the negotiation..." Ansitanos reminded euphemistically.

Davers tapped the wooden table with his hand, pondered for a while, and said, "Promise him."

Ansitanos hasn't responded yet, and Henipolis on the side asks with some doubts: "Your Majesty, judging from the current situation, Sparta will definitely attack Thebes again. At this time, our alliance with Thebes has already given the Thebes tremendous support, and now we have to help them unify Piotsia. Isn’t that a little——"

"Somewhat too high a look at Thebes?" Daves took his words and said seriously: "Heny, you should look a little longer and don't just stare at this point in front of you. Small interests, even if the Thebes really unified the Piotia area, the land area would not be as large as Mesapi, Puchetti and other areas, and would not pose any threat to us. But the Thebes In order to achieve this goal, we dare to confront Sparta, Athens, and Persia, which shows how important it is to the Thebans! We can help them, and we will naturally get their gratitude, which will help us to establish a foothold in Greece in the future. , Will be of great help!

What's more, making our allies stronger, able to compete with strong Greek states such as Athens and Sparta, will be more helpful to our Dionian entry into Greece in the future, and will be more conducive to the stability of the local order in Greece. ……"

"Your Majesty, you still think about the long-term!" Hernipolis praised loudly, convincingly.

Daves didn't accept his feelings, pointed to Ansitanos, and said, "You, just didn't think carefully. When your teacher came to report to me, he had already considered these pros and cons. I understand it in my heart."

Henipolis looked at Ancitanos immediately.

Ansitanos said calmly: "Your Majesty, Hernipolis is not an official of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. It is impossible to understand the intricate relations of the Greek city-states in detail, and it is impossible for us to think about how to get it every day. Good thing, how could he make a very correct judgment..."

"Herney, I see it, or your teacher cares about you." Daves said jokingly, with a smile on his face, he suddenly remembered something, and said sternly: "But you just said that That’s right, Dionia has given Thebes so much support, and deserves more in return. Ansitanos, your Ministry of Foreign Affairs can add requirements to the covenant when negotiating with Peropidas. For example, when Dionia took military action on the mainland of Greece, Thebes must give full support and so on..."
