Chapter 26: Farewell to Tima Song
"Tima Song!" a somewhat familiar voice shouted in front of him.
He looked in the sound and a man in purple precious Botton stood at the temple gate to wave to him.
"Agarcia?!" Timasong walked towards the man who seemed extraordinary and unbelievable.
"Please call me Lord Agarcia! I am now the senator of the Tua Alliance Senate!" Agarcia shook her sleeves, exposed her left hand, then gently held the sleeves of the robe, half of which was on her waist (this is the so-called noble move that the Tuliyi often did in the meeting), and then said jokingly.
"You really became the master of a city-state as the rumor said...masters?!" Timasong looked at him and asked in a trembling voice.
"It's not a city-state, but the masters of two city-states!" Agarcia stretched out two fingers and explained seriously: "Davs is the lifelong consul of these two city-state alliances!"
"Lifetime consul?! It's hard to believe..." Tima Song murmured: You know that after only more than half a year, the memory of Davers and the others was still very clear when they parted. The status of him and Davers was already a world of difference?!
"What I said is true! If you don't believe it, Artenis will be inside. I will go in and swear to her!" Agarcia was a little anxious, pointed to the temple behind her and said seriously.
Timasong shook his head and looked at Aggarcia thoughtfully: "I believe you! What's wrong with you coming to me this time?"
"Although we have successfully changed our status, we have not forgotten our comrades who were born and died!" Agarcia stretched out his hand and said sincerely: "Consul Davers sent me to invite you to Great Greece!"
…………………………
Tibron has been very angry lately.
Since he was sent to Asia by the Council of Spartan Elders to serve as the governor of Sparta in Asia, he has led his army to fight against Tissaffonyis, the governor of Asia Minor of Persia, and captured many Persian cities, forcing Tissaffonyis to not dare to attack the Greek city-state of Asia Minor again, and thought he was making great contributions to Sparta. It was just because he encountered some difficulties when attacking Larissa and failed to take it for several months, but suffered some minor losses. The damn inspector actually asked him to give up Larissa and attack the Karia area! Even though he was angry, he dared not refuse to obey.
Since Lesander gained great reputation for defeating the Athenian Navy in the late Peloponnese War, in order to strengthen his power, he proposed some proposals to the Elders' Council and passed them. One of them was to expand the power of the ombuds, so that these civilian-born inspectors could go out with the army and find problems, whether ordinary generals or kings could question them at any time. Once the problem was serious, they could also propose to the Elders' Council for punishment.
Tibron had no choice but to lead his army back to Ephesus, preparing to rest here for a while and then set out to attack Kalia. Unexpectedly, a few days later, he heard bad news: several Greek city-states in Asia sent envoys to Sparta and accused him of indulging his soldiers to plunder Sparta's allies in Asia.
He first angrily threw down all the precious statues in the living room, and then became worried about gains and losses, because the accusation of these city-state envoys of Asia Minor was true. At the beginning, there were 5,300 soldiers who brought to Asia, including one thousand liberated Black Rous, four thousand other Peloponnese people, and 300 Athenian cavalry. Of course, this force could not be fought against the powerful Persia. After arriving in Asia, with the help of the allies, many soldiers were recruited, most of whom were mercenaries who participated in the expedition to Persia with Cyrus, making the troops reach one
There are 15,000 soldiers, and there is almost no real Spartan warrior in this huge team. The salary of so many soldiers cannot be maintained for a long time by donating the Greek city-states in Asia Minor, so it is inevitable that the captured Persian cities and territories will be plundered and plundered. However, when the troops passed by their own allies, those mercenaries who had regarded plunder as a habit could not control their hands and feet, and robbing the property of their fellow citizens often happened. Tibron did not use military discipline to restrain him, but instead believed that since he fought hard for you, it was appropriate to pay a price!
Now the revenge of the Greeks in Asia Minor is coming.
That night, Tibron couldn't sleep.
The next day, the inspector Kerithops came over and told him coldly: "Tibron, the Elders Council has sent De Chiridas to take over your position, and you must return to Sparta for investigation! You must stay in this house now and not leave without authorization until De Chiridas arrives!"
Tibron sat down dejectedly, watching Kerithops arrange soldiers to guard his door, he couldn't help shouting: "Don't worry, I won't run away like Cliercus! Even if I go back to Sparta for investigation, I will be acquitted!"
Kerithops didn't even look at him and replied, "I hope so!"
Kerithops walked out of Tibron's house and finally breathed a sigh of relief. He was very welcome to the Senate's investigation into Tibron because he was the mastermind!
The reason for doing this was Kerithops, because he knew very well that Sparta made a great decision and spent a lot of money to start a war with Persia, was strategically considered. The radicals led by Lesander believed that they should take advantage of the defeat of Athens and regain the Greek hegemony, go out of the narrow Greek land, extend their power to the broader and rich Asia Minor, defeat the Persians, become the protector of the Greek city-state of Asia Minor, and then become the overlord of the Eastern Mediterranean, and complete the generations of Spartans.
Dream. It was precisely because Kerithops went to the Persian hinterland with the Expeditionary Force and saw the vastness and prosperity of the Mesopotamian plain that he agreed with the radicals and deeply understood the painstaking efforts of Lesander and others. However, Tibron was a pure Spartan warrior. He did not consider anything else in his mind. While fighting and killing Persians, he condoned soldiers to plunder in the allies, which made the allies in Asia Minor complain about his troops and began to feel dissatisfied with Sparta.
It was just as the efforts of more than half a year were going to be in vain that Crithops advised Tibron several times. Tibron first pretended to obey but did not implement it, but then he simply refused to listen.
In desperation, Kerithops secretly encouraged the allies of Asia Minor to go to Sparta to complain, and now his goal has finally been achieved. For the upcoming De Kiridas, he has always been known for his resourcefulness and is a Spartan general who can think about problems with his brain. Kerithops believes that he will not make the mistake of Tibron and will cooperate well with him.
