There was silence in the tent for a while, and Oliver was heard saying, "What a pity that little Cyrus died in battle!" Although he was a Persian prince, he was very polite to people, and he liked to help people, and he was also very handsome and liked by women, and even the queen of Silesia became his mistress. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoIf he doesn't die, he will definitely be a good king! ”

Good-looking, can pick up girls, is a good king? What bullshit logic is this! Davers secretly slandered himself.

"Yes! Cyrus the Younger does not look down on us like other Persians, he is genuinely good to us Greeks! If he becomes king, the relationship between us Greeks and Persians will definitely be better! Giogris said.

"And he is a warrior, not as weak as other Persians!" Martonis echoed.

"The most important thing is that he is generous! Gave us a lot of gold coins! Oliver emphasized, causing the crowd to claim yes.

Is this a memorial service for Cyrus the Younger? Davers was amused, and according to the remnants of this body, he couldn't help but say, "Is little Cyrus generous? I don't think so! You see, first of all, he owes us more than three months' wages, and he never paid them until the king of Silesia later inspected his troops, and he paid them for four months. ”

"When we suspected that Cyrus the Younger was preparing for war with the king of Persia and refused to proceed, he agreed to increase our pay from one Daric to one and a half in order to persuade us. Did he give the money for the next two months? Don't forget, he once ordered us to threaten the king of Silesia, and this cowardly king gave him a large sum of money. When we knew of Cyrus the Younger's plan, and when there was a big commotion at the rally, Cyrus the Younger promised to give each of us five mena of silver after the capture of Babylon. But did he give? ”

After a while, Oliver replied bitterly: "He's dead!" ”

"You see, Cyrus the Younger, without spending a single silver coin of his own, has brought us to this place, about three thousand miles from Greece, in a land full of dangers of an enemy nation. If he had told us from the beginning that we were going to war with the king of Persia, would we have agreed? ”

The three men shook their heads like puppets.

"He hid the truth. Giving a little benefit at a time is like luring the sheep forward with grass, and in the end, you can't agree with it. Davers exclaimed, "Cyrus the Younger is a clever liar!" Without paying any price, let us more than 10,000 Greeks fight to the death for his plot, amazing! ”

There was silence again in the tent, and soon Oliver was heard scolding: "Damn little Cyrus! Damn the Persians! And that fool Menon! Every time, he actively let us be pioneers, saying that little Cyrus would be grateful to us and could give us more rewards. Menon is a fool who not only has a rotten mouth, but also a rotten head, and sooner or later we will be killed by him! …… Ouch...... My tummy ...... I'm starving! ”

Davers was amused when he saw Oliver making a fuss there. Not to mention the intrigue that I was used to seeing in the government before, the Kangxi Emperor and the Qianlong Dynasty on TV...... There are endless ones, even if you haven't eaten pork, you've seen pigs run!

Cyrus the Younger was born in the court, the stronghold of human intrigues, and it was not so easy to achieve the position of military commander in western Persia. Just by looking at the way he flickered the Greeks, you can see that his wrists are powerful. As for Menon, I'm afraid he wasn't stupid, as the leader of the mercenaries, he probably knew about the plan of Cyrus the Younger, pushing his compatriots into the fire pit, but it was just a desire for profit.

"Davers, you couldn't say that before. Are you really...... Really ......," Mattonis asked cautiously.

Davers knew that in the past, Mattonis and "himself" had a good relationship. So, he said, "Mattonis, whatever happens. I'm still me, I've always been your good brother! Thank you so much for taking care of me all the time! I hope you can continue to help me! Repeatedly and vaguely mentioned the matter of "divine favor", Davers now also wants to open, if he wants to play a nineteen-year-old simple-minded Greek with more than 30 years of social experience in his previous life, he doesn't want to disguise, and he can't disguise, it is better to let others think like this, this should be...... There are benefits. Hence the vague reply that he neither denied nor admitted.

Unexpectedly, it actually lifted Mattonis's spirits: "Don't worry! With me, no one dares to bully you! ”

"Davers, can we go home?" Giogris's voice was full of concern.

Apparently, Davers's revelation of Cyrus the Younger made them doubt their own abilities.

Davers smiled wryly. Although he did not know much about the development of this historical event, Chinese history taught him that the emperor of a feudal dynasty hated nothing more than rebellion. It should be the same when you come to the West. Moreover, they were Gentiles and invaders. Unless the king of Persia is sick in his head, he will absolutely destroy them completely to deter all those who have different intentions!

As for attacking the Persian army, take Babylon. Davers was not optimistic, otherwise the name of the event would have been "The Great March of Ten Thousand Greeks" rather than the "Great Retreat". However, he said, "Don't worry! We were able to get home without any problems. ”

He tilted his head sideways, looked at the other people's expressions were obviously much more relaxed, and sighed in his heart: these simple-minded guys are good. I don't even think about how dangerous my current situation is, and it is also a kind of happiness to put my life on my "oracle".

Davers was thinking about it, and his heart moved, and he suddenly remembered a movie "2012" he had seen in his previous life: when the catastrophe of the end of the world came, those powerful and rich people could easily sit on seven Noah's Arks, while ordinary civilians depended on luck...... Yes, being a chess piece can only be at the mercy of others; Only by being a chess player can you take your destiny into your own hands! But how do you become a chess player?

………………………

By the afternoon, the Shilos team had distributed half a bag of wheat flour and a dozen dates.

Everyone struggled to get up and started making bread. Davers actively helped, asking as he went, for he had nothing to gain theories from memory.

Ancient Greek bread was actually made in a similar way to Chinese pasta, and the most important thing was the fermented product. Bread was a staple food of the Greeks, marching and fighting, and yeast was carried with them and well preserved.

After kneading the flour, it is placed on an iron plate and baked with the collected firewood. In the evening, everyone ate the simple bread. I filled my stomach and hurried back to sleep.

In the early morning of the next day, Shilos woke up the people and told them: "The messenger of Arilius has come and said, 'He is ready to return to his native Asia with his army.'" The chiefs did not want to go back empty-handed, and promised him that 'if Arilius would go with them in the attack on Babylon.' They were willing to make him king of Persia, and sent Cresopus and Menon with messengers to persuade Arijus. ”

"Why did you send Menon?" Martonis asked, puzzled.

"Don't you know that Menon is on good terms with Arirous?" Oliver smiled ambiguously.

"Will they be able to convince Arilius?" Giogris said worriedly.

All eyes were on Davers, and as the night passed, he had become their spiritual backbone. Davers felt a lot of pressure, but he didn't run away, pondered for a while, and then shook his head: Arilius was a Persian nobleman, and it could have been said that he was forced to participate in the rebellion as the lieutenant of Cyrus the Younger. Now, if he rebels with the Greeks again, if he fails, not only will he be doomed, but his family will also be implicated. If he was really an ambitious man, he should have taken over everything from Cyrus the Younger as soon as he learned of his death, and united with the Greek mercenaries in time. Only today did he say that he was going home, and apparently he made a decision after much consideration.

After receiving a negative reply, everyone had disappointed expressions on their faces.

"Brothers, these are the things that the leaders should worry about. Let's do what we have to do. Shilos hurriedly said, "Menon told us to slaughter all the surplus livestock in the baggage team and prepare more food." ”

I'm finally full! This news temporarily dispelled the gloom in everyone's hearts.
