Anaxochos was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, fidgeting. And then simply sit back and watch and indulge yourself in women and alcohol.

The army is on the verge of splitting and disbanding. Bo Long was heartbroken, the once invincible army of tigers and wolves had fallen into a situation of scattered sand.

That morning, a communications soldier came to see Anaxaxos. When he saw that it was the king's messenger, he climbed up to meet him and accept the decree.

Is the king's warrant:

It is necessary to calm the morale of the army and cancel all military operations.

Inform all the soldiers,

The widow will arrive at the Alesian military camp as soon as possible to personally comfort and reward the three armies. Then the official handover and change of guard work will be carried out, and then the soldiers will be organized to go home.

- Aloyos

Anaxachos received this trick and immediately complied.

Sure enough, the army was much quieter. When the warriors heard the name of King Aloyous, they felt as if they had regained their faith.

Seeing that things were improving, Anaxaxosus immediately used his best tricks. Looting people's wealth on a large scale, providing drinks for the soldiers, and employing a large number of military prostitutes to indulge in the greed for pleasure and stop making trouble.

In addition, the spies of Aloyos have long been in action and carry out a mission codenamed "Dead Room". That is, to spread rumors in the Alesian military camp that the king personally commanded an army of 300,000 soldiers, all of whom were elite soldiers from Macedonia and Rome, whose intentions were unknown, and that they might want to suppress the rebellion.

(The reason for the code name "dead room": the art of war says, so there are five rooms: there is a cause room, there is an inner room, there is a reverse room, there is a death room, and there is a life room.) The five rooms are all up, I don't know the way, it is called the god era, and the treasure of the human king. Because of the intermediary, because of the villagers to use it. Those who are in the middle are used because of their officials. Those who oppose it are used because of their enemies. Those who are dead, for the sake of telling the outside world, let us know it, and spread it among the enemy. Those who are alive will also be repaid. ）

When the soldiers heard this, they were afraid, and who did not know that Aloyos was like a god, and fought bravely, and did not take prisoners. 300,000 elite troops, as well as ace divisions that participated in the Roman Civil War. And their own group of dragons have no leader, a plate of scattered sand, each with different intentions, how can they have combat effectiveness. Under coercion and temptation, the soldiers wavered in their positions.

Marching quickly, deploying troops, and waterways are especially convenient and fast. This is also an important reason why the Kingdom of Macedonia has always paid attention to the development of its navy.

In this operation, Aloyos also put the speed of the soldiers in the first place. He ordered the concentration of the three major fleets and some merchant ships and transport ships, and the main fleet, the Aegean Fleet, and the Eastern Mediterranean Fleet all participated in the operation to escort the king and the main army.

They set out from Rome and traveled along the coast, soon reaching Marseille. It then travels north from Marseille through Lyon to its destination. In about a week or so, the king had made the decision to come, to arrange the affairs of the court, to gather troops and fleets, and to march over in a hurry.

When King Aloyos and his army appeared outside the Alesian barracks, the soldiers of the Northern Front cheered. Amazed, they threw themselves on the five bodies that the king admired, and once again fanatically worshipped Aloyos as a hero.

Aloyos was even more gracious, giving a moving speech in which he reassured the soldiers of their peace of mind, for everything was fine at home and in an unprecedentedly good condition. He then affirmed the merits and facts of the warriors who fought hard for their families and Macedonia to win honor.

Speaking of this, most of the soldiers wiped their tears, and some cried loudly. It's as if I was greatly wronged a few days ago.

At this time, Aloyos immediately understood that the warriors had become extremely empty because of the loss of Oonos, and it was difficult to unite because of the lack of a core.

After a pause, he continued:

"My children, you are the most loyal defenders of my kingdom of Macedonia. Defend the country and expand the territory. What manly duty have you not fulfilled?

I've always been proud of you.

At this juncture, on behalf of the Kingdom and on behalf of all the Macedonian people, including your families, I must thank you for what you have done, for your valor, for your blood and for your hard work.

I brought the elixir and jade liquid, I brought delicious food, and at noon, I will drink with all the soldiers and get drunk!

Because Macedonia has not forgotten your merits, nor has it forgotten your blood and sweat. This is my reward to you on behalf of the Kingdom. ”

The soldiers listened very happily and smiled lightly.

The king went on to say:

"What's more, I've heard that many of you want to go home.

Why not? I totally agree with letting my soldiers go home and be reunited with their families.

Return to that peaceful, peaceful, warm world. The wife has a happy family life, children and grandchildren are around the knee, wealthy, and respected. Because you are the heroes of Macedonia.

There's just one thing that I need everyone to understand. The war is not over, and the comfortable life in our rear requires the soldiers at the front to prop up the defensive line.

So, I can't dismiss you all at once and let you go back.

Please believe me, I will arrange for you to return home in batches and in an orderly manner as soon as possible.

Long live Macedonia, my compatriots! ”

"Long live my king! Long live the hero King Aloyos! ”

The warriors cheered, long ceasing whether their king would keep his promise.

Aloyos had been a dusty journey, as tired and tired as the soldiers on the way. This passionate speech made his mouth dry.

But his eyes were full of tears, and so were the soldiers. They were deeply affected by each other's happy understanding and blending, and the generosity and pride between the men.

The king did not write empty checks, and effectively implemented the policy of veterans' discharge. Implement a military merit point system, and you can go home if you reach six points. The content of the points involves the time of conscription and departure, the number and size of meritorious service, the status of male heirs in the family, and so on.

The first batch of soldiers to return home was not many, only a small number. Of these, the Seventh Army arranged a quarter, and the Invincible Army arranged a fifth. The Germanic Legion simply did not declare their return home.

In short, the arrival of the king and the sincerity of his speech stabilized the morale of the army. Many people changed their minds and offered to stay.

Aloyos resolved the dispute in good faith, and with the right approach, the problem was solved. He did so, he was considerate.

First, he didn't want to send soldiers who only wanted to go home to the battlefield, such an army lacked morale and had no combat effectiveness.

2. The Macedonian kingdom acquired large tracts of land through conquest and had to be governed by loyal Macedonian citizens. They will be a reliable foundation for the kingdom to rule. It cannot be caused to destroy the battlefield.

The army selectively cleared out the negative factors and injected more and better fresh blood. This is exactly the process of completing the update.

The king seemed to be compromising with his soldiers, but it was not.

The objective situation is that the Macedonian army will be more cohesive and more combative.
