Chapter 54 Inheritance
Oonos reaffirms:
"Your Majesty, do you really want the minister to be solely responsible for this matter?"
"Even if there is no such thing, if you come back, I will also make you the governor of the soldiers and horses.
You can do it when it comes to suppressing bandits and counterinsurgency. I will always support you in whatever decision you make, and the 1,500 elite Macedonian horsemen assigned to you will be commanded and dispatched by you from now on. Remember to call them back when they were done. You have my edict, and to see you is to see me, and you have full discretion to dispose of it.
Be safe. The widow waits for good news. ”
"Obey the order!"
Oonos soon gathered his cavalry forces. He then drew a group of skilled archers from Belasola, no more than 300 men.
Where the rule of the crowd is like the rule of the widow, the score is also; Fighting the crowd is like fighting widows, and the name is also; The crowd of the three armies can make those who are bound to be defeated by the enemy and not defeated, and it is strange and true; The addition of soldiers, such as those who cast eggs with shackles, is also virtual and real.
The general understands the stakes of using soldiers, so he can be entrusted to fight. Oonos was on the plains of Thessaly in Macedonia, testing his cavalry.
It is known as the most elite cavalry in Macedonia, with uniform movements and fierce momentum like a tiger and leopard, but its actions are fast and accurate.
He was secretly happy in his heart that the power to win was in his hands.
Now he can add a few thousand more infantry capable of resisting the line. He believed that the third brother would be able to find these manpower. So he went straight to Athens via Thessaly.
At this time, Oonos already had an army of 2,000 people, and no bull, ghost, snake, or god could stop him.
Oonos got his wish and incorporated 3,000 elite infantry in Greece, all of whom were from Sparta, the Guard-level hoplites.
In this way, Oonos had the most traditional and excellent classical strict phalanx in Greece. The infantry was small and fine. The total strength of the troops sent was more than 4,000, but the combat effectiveness was ferocious and abnormal. He was with the most elite army of Macedonia at the moment, better equipped than his Seventh Legion.
The army set out in a relaxed mood, and it was as easy for them to defeat the rebels as it was to chop melons and vegetables.
For Oonos, who only fights tough battles, these rebels and thieves are simply amateur mercenaries. No matter how many there are, they are vulnerable.
Counterinsurgency warfare is more like military training.
There were even some battles, before the formation was set up on this side, the iron cavalry on that side had broken through the defense line and locked the victory.
Those who were stubborn and couldn't defend it, he simply ordered the bandits' dens to be set on fire and flooded, and if they didn't work, the huge cannons and rocks would be smashed to pieces. No mercy, and no prisoners.
In less than two months, the army of Oonos attacked like a raging fire and a swift wind, almost like a game in a no-man's land.
They completed their mission ahead of schedule and completely wiped out all the rebel forces in the country.
Oonos became famous, and people everywhere praised this hero. Because he eliminated evil and promoted good for the people, and helped everyone restore the safety and peace of life.
The people hated the rebels and bandits, and when they heard about the rebels, it was as if they had heard of the arrival of the plague god. But the common people alone are powerless to subdue evil.
It is not an exaggeration to say that Oonos hates the rebels the most. So his extremely cruel and cold-blooded approach to them is a fact.
Completely wiped out.
The space for imagination can only be left for people to think for themselves. The Great General never said anything about how he treated these bastards.
But it is certain that the rebels must have regretted their participation in that kind of thing. But there's no chance.
Those little gangsters who are obsessed and are still in the embryonic stage are now 10,000 people who don't dare, and they have to be people with a dog face.
In addition to gaining rich combat experience and further improving their combat effectiveness, most of the soldiers who experienced this operation also developed bloodthirsty habits.
The fighters cherished this time together. On the way back, they repeatedly asked the general to incorporate them into a legion.
The soldiers admired General Oonos's military strategy and bravery.
Oonos said:
"In the midst of the battle, I found out earlier. You're all good, and you're a veritable elite force.
And I've found a lot of talent from you, and I'll continue to follow you in the future.
Do a good job when you go back.
The kingdom now values nothing more than people. Don't ask about the family, don't look at the noble and low. Merit will be rewarded, and responsibility will be punished.
There will always be a time when you will make a difference.
As for the legions, I do not have this authority now, and everyone must be loyal to the new king, and since he has promulgated benevolent government, then we will do our part.
Finally, I'm excited to work with you. ”
"General, long live!"
Greetings from the soldiers.
As agreed, Oonos returned victorious. Damasos came from Athens, and Garas set up a banquet to wash him away.
Once again, the three brothers came to the intersection where they had been separated for the first time, and had been delivered to Massos. Gueras set up a table in the open air, sent people to clean up the scene, and greeted them with good wine and food. At that time, they were all young men, but now their beards are stiff. They sat down to drink and catch up, and tonight they got drunk.
Gueras has been having a good ride lately, and life has become more and more comfortable. With the help of the second brother by his side, the new policy was implemented and the civil strife was pacified. When he thinks of this, he always thinks that he should give more to the people. Let the people of Macedonia also enjoy a high quality of life. At the same time, he was a pleasure-seeker himself.
There are many beauties in his harem, and honest people are often amorous. As time went by, the queen became more and more weightless.
He had recently been pampering a little girl who was eighteen years old.
If a country continues to prosper, it will establish a prince as soon as possible. Oonnos knew it, but he couldn't say it clearly.
First, he is in a high position and holds military power. It would be of no benefit to cause a misunderstanding of Garas.
Moreover, he occasionally had suspicions: Is it because the eldest brother is not at ease that he deliberately transferred me back to him. He knew that he had to be careful what he said now, and he couldn't rush out to do things.
Garrus has always been optimistic about his eldest son, Aloyos.
It's just that he hasn't decided for a long time, whether to give him a clear status as a prince now. He felt that he was still young and that he might not have to think about the heir now. Besides, even if something happens to me, according to the old Macedonian rule, Aloyos will inherit the throne in the first order.
This is something that Gallas is careless about. According to the law of the Macedonian king, if he did not choose who he would have after his death, then Oonos and Aloyos would have equal chances, and Oonos would have an advantage in terms of strength, seniority, and seniority.
And that's not counting the other heirs: Damasos, Abrias, Ducarros, Podare Ríos.
Those who plot against the odds even take advantage of family conflicts to instigate and provoke trouble. It caused the division and disintegration of Macedonia, and the power of the kingdom was short-lived, and the old king's life's efforts were in vain.
Garras was reluctant to make Aloyos the crown prince now, and the reason for the high-sounding was that he was still in the prime of life.
But in fact, the root problem is that the relationship between Aloyos and Gueras is not so harmonious, and the opinions are opposite.
This is manifested not only in day-to-day matters, but also in relation to military operations.
