Klotocatax was not surprised, he had been with Davers during this time, and Davers would ask him questions from time to time while dealing with government affairs, which he had become accustomed to, and forced him to always think about the reports and information that came in.

At this point, he walked over to the table and stared at the map of Samonai and Campania, lost in thought.

By this time, the rest of the tent had remained quiet.

Tolmid looked at Klotocatax, who was thinking about it, and couldn't help but sigh.

During his time in Latium, he often had to help Davos with military affairs, and he spent most of his time with Davos, and he had a long time of contact with Klotocatax, and he witnessed the prince of Dionya gradually become steady and thoughtful from the initial enthusiasm and immaturity, from the initial officials, generals and soldiers who looked at him with suspicion to gradually identify with him, thanks to Davers's teachings, and also inseparable from his own talents and efforts.

Judging by all indications, if nothing else, Klotocataques is likely to be the next King of Dionia! Tolmide thought in his heart: in the future, he should try to create conditions for his children to have more contact with Krotocatax! At the beginning, he lacked courage and did not follow Davos to come to Great Greece from the beginning, coupled with his limited talents, so he has today's status, which is almost the end, but the next generation ......

Just as Tolmid was thinking about it, Klotocatax had already cleared his mind and said to Davers: "Father, if we have completely defeated the Samonai Tribal Alliance, my opinion is ...... These Cautini towns in the eastern plains of Campania, with the exception of Naconia, should be incorporated into Dionia, so as to expand our territory, protect our alliance (referring to the Campanian League), and deter the races of the mountains in the vicinity.

But for these Samonai towns in the mountains, it is better to leave them to the Samonai themselves. On the one hand, the Samonai people are unruly, and the tribes there have little contact with us Dionia, and the culture and customs are completely different, and it is very difficult to send officials to govern, and it is easy to cause conflicts, and waste the energy and financial resources of the kingdom; On the other hand, the land in the mountains is barren, the environment is harsh, and the products are not abundant, and I am afraid that not many Dionian citizens are willing to migrate to the Samonai mountains, so it is difficult for us to assimilate the Samonian race in the mountains in a short time.

And also...... The two Samonai races, Putney and Caracheni, are bordered by other races in the northern mountains, and if we forcibly annex the lands of these two tribes, I am afraid that it will arouse the vigilance and hatred of the other races, and lead to unpredictable consequences.

So I think...... The alliance of the Samonai tribes can be dissolved, and the four tribes of Samonai can become dependent allies of the kingdom, but the position of the chief of the major tribes must be retained, so that they can avoid being weakened and can defend themselves against their former enemies in the north, and reduce our troubles......"

Before Davos could respond, Tolmid praised, "Your Majesty, Prince Cloto is very thoughtful, and I think his suggestion is very reasonable!" ”

Hennipolis looked at Tolmid, blinked and did not speak.

Davers smiled with satisfaction and said affirmatively: "Croto, your proposal is very inspiring to me, the Samonai tribal alliance should indeed be dissolved, and it may not be the time to completely annex the Samonai Mountains from now on, so it is still necessary to retain the original political structure of several tribes and allow the existence of the great leader to facilitate the kingdom's control over it......"

Davers' approval of his suggestion excites Klotocatax.

"But," Davers said, looking at him, "you haven't been careful enough when you think about the problem, and the treatment of the Samonai people is still relatively careless, and the situation of these four tribes is different, and the way to deal with them should be different.

Hirpine, as the largest tribe of Samonay and the one bordering the kingdom's territory, although its territory is in the mountains, we can't be too indulgent. Benevenum had to be incorporated into the kingdom, and in the mountains of Samone it was a rare and fertile lowland, and not so small, that I think the prospective citizens and freedmen of the kingdom would be willing to settle there. And its location is also very important, right in the heart of the territory of Hirpini and Cautini, next to Abenirum and Cautim, and with it we have the cornerstone of stabilizing the southern part of the Samonai mountains.

In addition, Abenirum has always been friendly with the kingdom, and has contributed a lot in this war, and has become a free city of the kingdom, and we should reward him by allowing Geirny to become the great chief of Hilpine, and to rule over the other Hilpinei tribes and territories except for Bereventum, so that he can become the second Pothenia of the kingdom, so that he can have the strength to resist the Penteni and Caracheni in the northern part of the mountains, and ensure the security of the northern part of the kingdom.

Cautini, this tribe is more special, its territory is either the eastern plain of Campania or the lowlands in the valley, in fact, it is very suitable for the people of the kingdom to settle. You are right that the towns of Kautini in the eastern plains of Campania should be incorporated into Dionia, but this appetite is not big enough, and since Beneventum is ready to be included in the kingdom's territory, then Kautim to the west of it, as well as the surrounding subsidiary towns, should also be included in our annexation plan, because in this way we can ensure that Beneventum is connected to the eastern plain of Campania, so that it will not be isolated from the kingdom's territory.

And don't forget Naconia, the people of this realm have been in contact with the kingdom for more than a decade, and they eventually joined our side, so it stands to reason that we should guarantee their territory. But the location of Naconia is more important, before the Samonians attacked the Campania League, captured Pompeii, Herculaneum and other city-states, now Zantiparis has recovered Pompeii and Herculaneum, until now, the Campania League has not proposed to let us return these two small cities, it is said that the Campanian League has suffered heavy casualties in this war, there are not enough people to cultivate these lands, my opinion is to send an envoy to negotiate with the Campanian League, and merge these two small cities into Dionia"

Henipolis's eyes lit up, and he interjected: "In this way, Bereventum, Kautim, the former town of Kautini in the eastern plain of Campania, as well as Pompeii and Herculaneum can be connected with the kingdom of Enona, but ...... Nakonia has become an obstacle ......"

"We can negotiate with the Naconians and let them move to the north of Capua, where there is the Voltuno River, and the land is more fertile, and we can allow them to have more territory than the existing Naconia, and at the same time allow them to elect the great chief of Cautini to rule over the Cautini tribes in the northernmost part of the original Cautini territory, which are adjacent to Sidisini, Oronchi, and Putney, and I believe that they will be willing, so that we can completely occupy the central part of Cautini." The southern land, and the connection with Enona, completely guarantees the security of our newly occupied land.

For the two tribes of Putney and Caracheni, their tribal settlements and towns are in the mountains north of Samonai, where the mountains are higher and the roads are more difficult to walk. The Caracheni tribe, in particular, is said to have lived in a thousand-kilometer high mountain range, so the land is more barren and the population is smaller. It is not necessary for us to occupy their lands, but they must submit to the kingdom, and the heads of their tribes must hand over their children and send them to Turii as hostages, and their chosen great chiefs must be confirmed by the kingdom before they can serve as ......"

After listening to Davers's plan for the disposition of the Samonai Tribal Alliance, Klotocatax savored it carefully, and said convincingly: "Father, your plan is much stronger than mine!" It's really more thoughtful than I am! ……”

"That's because you're too kind to the Samoneh tribe to think about it in terms of the greater good of the kingdom, the greatest weakening of our enemies, and the weakness of their rebellion." Davers pointed it out sharply.

"Father, but," Crotocatacuses asked, "Hilpinei and Cautini can accept your plan, but Penteni and Caracheni may not." ”

"Then continue to fight until they accept it, just leave this matter to Alexis and Zantiparis, since the war with the Samonai has begun, then through this war, even if it costs more, the problem of the Samonai must be completely solved, so as to prevent them from rebelling in the future!" Davers admonished him earnestly.

Klotockataks nodded thoughtfully.

Davers turned around and said, "Heni, what I just said, you have heard the plan for the disposal of the four major tribes of Samonai, right?" ”

"Hear me, Your Majesty."

"Then write a letter to the Senate, as I have just said, and ask them to pre-arrange the affairs of Samonai on this basis. Then write a letter to Alexis and Zantiparis to the same effect, so that they know how to adjust their strategy next. ”

"Understood, Your Majesty, I'll write it now." Henipolis said, pulling out the papyrus.

Clotocatacucks and Tormid's minds were still immersed in Davers's plan to dispose of the Samoneans, contemplating what effect it would have on the Samones, and the tent became quiet, so that the rustling of writing could be heard.
