Chapter 84: Amnesia

At this time, it was October, and the weather was cold, and Jiu'er made a waistcoat for Seleucus in the legion using the kapok cloth obtained from the Indian army, which was the most fashionable clothing at that time.

The legion then marched on to Babylon, Susa, Uxili, and then Persepolis, and it is not known whether Genno was there or if he was safe.

Jiu'er was so anxious that the army would immediately enter Persepolis.

Darius had fled from the battlefield of Gaugamela, with him the Royal Relatives and most of the Golden Apple Spearmen, and with him two thousand Greek mercenaries.

Darius deduced that Alexander the Great should march next on Susa and Babylon, so the king of Persia took another direction - Media.

He was not mistaken, Alexander immediately walked on the road to Babylon after dealing with the battlefield of Gaugamela, and not far from Babylon, he met soldiers and civilians from various districts holding flowers and various delicacies, they had come to meet the Greek legions, and the priests and dignitaries of the city also came.

The Babylonians are still very wise, since they can't defeat it, they will bow down, and besides, the city of Babylon did not belong to Persia in the first place, and it was the former Persian Cyrus who incorporated it into the territory of Persian jurisdiction by force, so it is not surprising that they surrendered the city today.

After Alexander entered the city, he instructed the inhabitants to restore the temple of Bair, which had been destroyed by the Persian king Xerxes, and Alexander reorganized the administrative institutions of Babylon, and the emperor's moderate way of ruling was recognized by the Babylonians, and the Babylonian historical records record that although Babylon fell, the young ruler did not disturb the people.

Leaving Babylon, the Greek legions continued their march on Susa.

In the battle of Gaugamela, the leaders of various places clearly realized that resistance is destruction, and surrender is survival. Susa, like Babylon, chose the latter. The son of Susa Governor took the residents, holding a wreath to greet him halfway, and the young man's face was full of smiles, which even made Jiu'er think that he was greeting his relatives, and the person who knew the times was Junjie, a young man, and there was development.

The residents put garlands on the heads of Alexander and the generals, and Mo Jiu snatched a wreath from the old and young heads and put it on his head.

"The maid in front of the palace, you dare to snatch the garland of this general, are you looking for a fight!" Philotas shook his fist at Mo Jiu in an angry manner.

"If you want to hit me, try it." Jiu'er looked at him with disdain.

"Philotas and our Imperial Maiden are fighting fists, you are not an opponent!" Alexander the Great teased, and everyone laughed.

Along the way, the soldiers talked and laughed, and the colorful garlands set off the faces of the soldiers more clearly.

The old general Parmanuel and the one-eyed general Antigonus watched the young man laugh and laugh, Jiu'er hadn't seen the old general Antigonus for a long time, and he had been carrying out important combat missions in the rear.

Due to the long distance, it took the troops more than 20 days to reach Susa, but the road was relatively easy, and there was a well-established post road from Babylon to Susa, which was very smooth.

This post road was built during the reign of Darius I, and it led west through Mesopotamia to the Aegean coast of Asia Minor. It was the largest trunk line of the Persian Empire at that time, also known as the "Royal Road", a bit like the Imperial Road of the Qin Dynasty at the same time, in the Persian and Greek periods at that time, the traffic of various countries mainly relied on waterways, and the smooth and long Royal Road was a great spectacle at that time, which fully verified the strength and wealth of the Persian Empire at that time.

Soon to the Persian capital of Susa, the soldiers were full of anticipation, Herodotus said: Whoever has the wealth of Susa can fight with Zeus for riches.

I don't know how heroic Susa is, through a long colonnade, the magnificent Susa palace is displayed in front of me, the degree of luxury is beyond my imagination: the main hall is fan-shaped open to the open, dozens of Greek-style columns decorated with bull heads stand around the palace, white marble columns, with gilded bull head sculptures; The palace wall is inlaid with glittering glazed brick reliefs, engraved with patterns of various animals and strange beasts, this kind of glazed brick bas-relief, is the ancient Chinese classics recorded in the blue glaze, is the world-class high-level decoration art at that time.

Along the extra-long corridor into the Persian king's reception hall, according to the governor, this reception hall is 10,000 square meters, the walls of the clay bricks are pasted with colored glaze, this glazed bricks are bright and clear, shining.

The roof of the main hall is supported by six columns of colonnades twenty meters high, the top is decorated with golden ox head carvings, the decoration in the palace is extremely luxurious, bringing together rare treasures from all over the world, gold and silver products can be seen everywhere here, there are colorful Persian tapestries hanging on the wall, the king's throne in the middle is made of ebony ivory inlaid with gold, shining dazzling gold in the sunlight, the luxurious Susa, one of the four capitals of Persia, let Jiu'er see the wisdom and extreme luxury of the ancients.

Alexander sat on the king's throne, Susa gave 50,000 silver tarons and royal treasures, and Alexander gave more than 3,000 taruns to his friend Minis, who asked him to hand over some of them to Antipater, who was now leading his soldiers in Macedonia to fight against Rastimon and needed funds.

Alexander gave the remaining 2,000 taluns and treasures to his generals, and of course the Nine Daughters of Moore also got some, but the jewels were of little meaning to Jiu'er, and they couldn't bring them back to modern times.

Jiu'er transferred his share to the guards who served in the main hall.

This move attracted the cynicism of the old and young, "Our imperial maid is generous, no wonder the emperor appreciates you so much, a woman who doesn't take wealth seriously, who doesn't appreciate it?" ”

"Money is something outside the body, and the nobility of my dignified maiden is comparable to you?" Jiu'er pursed her lips and looked at Philotas, feeling cool about money like dung.

But Mo Jiu understands, who doesn't take money seriously? Jiu'er can't take it back, this has to be in modern times, so many jewels, Jiu'er can't buy a safe to lock it.

No way, "poor transportation", take jewelry and send a favor, in case there is anything that needs help in the future, Jiu'er is an outsider who is not familiar with the place, and he must not learn to be smooth.

"By the way, the Nine Daughters of Moor, there will be a sports meeting starting tomorrow, you haven't participated in so many sports meetings?"

Firotas said, and several generals next to him echoed him.

"Isn't that a men's event? What do I attend? ”

"Aren't you a man? Isn't it possible for a man to attend such a major state event? Which of the big and small things in the legion didn't you participate in? Women are not allowed to participate in any of this. ”

In the past, Mo Jiu thought that Philotas was joking with himself, but today's words are in his words, Mo Jiu as a woman does appear too often in public, but this is allowed or even required by Alexander the Great, it seems that Jiu'er will pay attention in the future to avoid some soldiers chewing on the root of their tongues behind their backs.

People are like this, they are extremely united in times of trouble, and once they are comfortable, they have their own hearts.

This Philotas is not a scheming person, he can't hide things in his heart, and he can say whatever he thinks in his heart.

Mo Jiu looked at Philotas with strange eyes, "General Philotas is dissatisfied with me, I am the emperor's maiden, it is normal to participate in some state gatherings, although I am a woman, but I have also contributed to the legion, have you forgotten who helped you defeat the cat demon in the Egyptian desert?" ”

Forgetting that it was time for her Mo Jiu to save everyone's lives, she dared to openly find fault with herself here, Jiu'er squinted at Philotas.

"Hahaha......" Philotas and the other soldiers laughed, "Our Imperial Maiden, your prophecy is indeed accurate, but you can't make up funny jokes to deceive us?" Also a cat demon? You won't defeat Zeus, will you? ”

actually wanted to slander Jiu'er's merits, "I risked my life in the desert to save you, and your dignified seven-foot man pretended to forget?" ”

Jiu'er turned back to Hephaestion for help, "Hephais, you give me a judgement, is Philotas ungrateful?" ”

Hephaestion smiled at Jiu'er and turned his face to Philotas, "Philotas, don't keep joking with the women, after all, it's a girl, let it go." ”

"Hephaestion, you're a good person, it's okay to let it go, but you can't talk nonsense? What kind of cat demon, isn't this a rumor? "Philottas has a tough attitude.

"What can you do if what the female priest says is true, you are always more serious, the female priest is just joking with us, are you there? Isn't it just a cat demon.... Haha......" It was Ptolemy, who laughed before he finished speaking, and he didn't even admit the matter of the cat mound?

Mo Jiu turned his head to look at Seleucus, but he didn't even look at himself; Look at Alexander again, laughing more than anyone else.

"Okay, the former maid, you must have been too tired recently, blame the king, ignore you, after all, it's a woman, and it's time to take a good rest when you fight around with the legion."

Looking at everyone's situation, Jiu'er suddenly had a bad guess, they really forgot about the cat mound.

"Let me ask you, if the cat demon's business is my untruthful, then where do you say my Fei'er has gone?"

Jiu'er stared at the generals to see what they would say.

Seleucus walked up to me and patted me on the shoulder, "Merjiu, I know that you have a good relationship with Fei'er, but Fei'er has been missing for so long, you should learn to be strong." ”

Seleucus actually said that Fei'er was missing, and Jiu'er's tears fell in anger.

Jiu'er glared at Ling'er, "Ling'er, why did you say Fei'er didn't have it?" ”

Ling'er replied in a trembling whisper, "Disappeared in the desert." A line of sad tears flowed.

"Ling'er! Didn't you say you wanted me to resurrect Fei'er? You forgot? Jiu'er shouted.

Ling'er couldn't cry, "I didn't say it, Miss, what's wrong with you...... Are you too sad...... Miss, don't scare me......" Ling'er cried into tears.
