Chapter Thirty-Four Oh, Sparta
"Shut up! Drag this Lukari traitor and chop it up and feed it to the dog!" Cincinnag shouted angrily. He must not let Hemon hype the benefits of the Greeks here, which may disintegrate the fighting spirit of the tribe.
"Kill me? OK! The consul of Dionys is the most protective person! When you attacked his camp, he annihilated the Lucanian coalition forces! The Crotones invaded his territory, and he captured all the Crotones as prisoners! You kill me, a citizen of the Dionysian coalition, believe it or not, the army of Dionysian coalition will come to the city of Grummentum tomorrow!" Hemon let the soldiers come up to hold his hands and shouted fearlessly.
Cincinnager's face twitched a few times, and changed his words and said, "Turn him...out for me!"
Hemon laughed in his heart. He had long heard that Picossis's chief was a soft boy who bullies the weak and fears the strong. As expected, this was true. If it were Akpiru, he would not dare to recommend himself to die: "Don't you want to hear the good news I brought?!"
Cincinnager waved his hand in the air.
"What good news?!" the leaders asked anxiously.
Hemon pushed away the guards and said loudly: "As the messenger of the Dionysian Union, I was assigned by the Senate to discuss the possibility of peace with Grummentum and Pixis!"
When Cincinnag heard this, his heart was shocked.
"The Greeks don't come to attack us?!"
"That's great! We don't have to give up on Grummentum!"
"You can't believe the Greeks! Since you want peace, why should you occupy Niutum?!"
...
The leaders exuded a sense of relief in the fierce debate.
"Silly Picoses, have you forgotten the old sayings of us Lucanians. 'If you hold a big stick in your hand, you will not be afraid of evil wolves.'" Hemon laughed: "If the Diorian League did not occupy Niutum, would you be willing to sit down and talk with the League?! The Greeks who love the sea were actually not interested in the land of Lukari. There are mountains everywhere, the land was barren, and the roads were also bad. It was very difficult to do business or travel. If it weren't for the Lucanians that always attacked Turiyi through Niutum, the League occupied Niutum in order to protect the territory from invasion, and blocked your way to the south..."
When the leaders thought, it was indeed the case and stopped talking.
Cincinnag asked again uncertainly: "The Greeks really plan to talk to me?"
"Of course it's true! Otherwise, what am I going to do?!" Hemmon said angrily.
Cincinna Gerton felt relaxed, he leaned on the back of the chair and said, "Is Niutum still very messy, afraid that I will take the opportunity to attack?"
"Big leader, are you saying the opposite?" Hemon sarcastically.
Cincinnager coughed awkwardly and said, "Okay, let me hear the conditions of your Dai...Dioria League."
…………………………
Both sides have the will to be peaceful, so the negotiations naturally went smoothly.
One day later, the agreement was reached: the border between the Dionysian City-Constitutional Union and Picosis and Grummentum is bounded by the pass between the two rivers, and they do not invade each other, and both sides can open markets at the junction; the Dionysian Union shall not support Picosis's enemies, and there are small tribes not under Picosis's rule or wandering mountain people surrender to Niutum, and Picosis shall not intercept...
The agreement lasts for one year. Originally, Cincinnager hoped that the term was five years, but was rejected by Hemon. His reason was that many people in the league expressed doubts about whether the Picoses could keep the agreement. If Picoses won the trust of the veterans of the Dionian League with a good performance of one year, the next contract renewal period would be extended.
Cincinnag was angry, but there was no way, because he needed this peaceful agreement more than the Greeks, so that he could do his best to deal with the hostile tribes in Grummentum without any worries, and then deal with Potendia who accepted Lusaou. As for the Dionian League, it was at least after he became the leader of the Lukari...
…………………………………………………………
Before the Dionian League signed the contract with Cincinnag, Avinogis of Laus had reached a new agreement with the league: First, Raus agreed to build the Turiyi-Niutum-Laos Avenue and was willing to provide a large number of labor (there were originally a large number of Greek slaves in the city of Laus, mainly descendants of Sobaris, and now they have become free people, but Avinogis could not allow them to obtain land and could only sell their labor to make a living. In addition, the Lukari people in the city of Laus were either killed or turned into slaves). At the same time, Avinogis also planned to provide all the funds for road construction. On this point, Davers politely declined his kindness and finally proposed that both parties share the same.
2. Without Lausian permission, the Dionian League shall not convert Lausians who enter or escape into the league into alliance citizens and shall be responsible for sending them back.

At the southernmost end of the Peloponnese Peninsula, there is a land called Lasidimeng, and now it is a region called Laconia. This land is surrounded by some natural barriers. It faces the sea in the east and south. There are dark and terrible mountains in the north. The desolate and tall Tigertos Mountains are lying across the west. Its five peaks that stand like sharp claws are often covered with snow even in the hot summer. The small plains protected by these dangerous terrain are run through the turbid and turbulent Eurotas River from north to south. The red rocks on the cliffs of the cape at its mouth are the grave of Helen, who once had a gorgeous Greek and triggered the Trojan War for ten years. And along the estuary, it reaches a city without a wall on the bank of the river in the middle of the river. Its name is Sparta.
This is a rather rustic city. Although it looks large in area, except for temples, other buildings appear low and simple, it has a kind of tranquility and peace that is unique to the countryside, without the noise of market vendors, and without the play of drama actors. In the early morning, people in the city get up early, Hei Luoshi goes to the fields to farm, housewives do housework at home, some men go out to participate in military training, and some participate in political affairs.
The Elders Council and the Supervisory House are the two major power institutions of Sparta. On this day, both institutions were dealing with affairs about Asia Minor at the same time. For the Supervisory House with great authority, Tibron's crazy words to Kerithops in Ephesus were only a joke. The evidence of his malfeasance was conclusive, not to mention that the messengers of the allies of Asia Minor were still waiting for the result of the trial in Sparta. No one dared to plead for him. He almost had no chance to defend, so he was fined and sentenced to exile.
At this point, Tibron will be driven out of Sparta.
In the Elders Council, except for King Akith who was unable to attend due to serious illness and entrusted his younger brother Agesilos to attend temporarily, the other twenty-nine elders arrived on time, and first discussed the aftermath of the city-state of Alis.
The city-state of Elis is located near the Olympia region of the Peloponnese Peninsula. It has always been supported by Sparta to seize the right to host the Olympian Games from another city-state, Pisa. Unexpectedly, during the Peloponnese War, it surrendered to Athens and also prevented the Spartan king Akis who went to Olympia to sacrifice to the Temple of Zeus because of the Delphi Oracle...
These things finally angered the Spartans. Six years after the surrender of Athens, they declared war on Elis and sent the humiliated king Akith to invade Elis. If it weren't for the earthquake, Akith thought it was not a good omen and took the initiative to withdraw his troops. Then the war would have ended at the beginning of the year. Under the urging of the inspector, a few months later, Akith led his troops to attack Elis again, burned, killed, looted, destroyed fields and buildings, and captured huge numbers of livestock and slaves. Finally, the troops came to Elis, a city that was also not protected by the walls, trembled under the threat of Sparta's powerful force. The people rioted because of fear. In the end, although the riot was suppressed, the national strength of the city-state of Elis was greatly damaged.
Akis did not take the opportunity to capture the city of Elis. After all, it was an ancient Greek city-state. As the host country of the Olympian Games, it enjoyed a reputation among the Greek city-states. Akis withdrew his troops and returned to his country and fell ill soon after.
After discussion, the elders agreed that if Elis, who had lost strength, would come to the peace talks if he did not want to be attacked by Sparta next year. Sparta must force Elis to allow Frixsa, Epitalion, Epitalion and other towns to be independent from their subordinates, further weaken their strength and make it unable to resist Sparta. If Elis agrees, Sparta also allows it to have the right to host the Olympian Games and jurisdiction over the location of the Temple of Zeus in Olympia.
The reason why the Spartan elders were unwilling to return the right to host the Olympian Games and the jurisdiction of the Temple of Zeus to Pisa (because Olympia and the Temple of Zeus were already within the territory of Pisa) is because they believe that since the Olympian region was separated from the Pisa territory by Sparta a hundred years ago, Pisa has always had a good relationship with Spartans' mortal enemy, Argos.
After dealing with Elis, Elder Lesander stood up and said, "All elders, I believe everyone has read the report sent by Kerithops in Ephesus. The Supervisory Office hopes that we can come up with a handling opinion as soon as possible."
An elder muttered dissatisfiedly: "The Supervisory Office is too domineering now, and he has actually commanded us!"
Everyone present seemed to have not heard it, only King Baosunias suddenly said: "It's not because of the support of Laysander!"
Laishande also seems to have never heard of it.
