Chapter 109: Recovering Cappadocia

"General, the front 3 Parasanga is Masaka, please instruct the general. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info" a scout reported to Eumenes.

"Okay, you take someone to lurk in first, and wait for my orders."

"Yes!"

"How do you feel about revisiting the old place?"

"I didn't expect to be back so soon, it's been less than three years since you left Nora last time. Unexpectedly, in just three years, the situation has changed so much, you have finally taken a big step towards your goal, and your persistence has finally borne fruit. "It was Silonimus who spoke.

"I have always believed in the revival of the Macedonian Empire. I was originally a colonial Greek from humble origins, and it was because of King Philip's appreciation that I had the opportunity to show my talents, and although I was ostracized because I was a Greek, I have been working as a secretary for more than twenty years, why is that? Eumenes stared straight at Sillonimus, "That's because both kings have given me enough trust and support, and I will remember their kindness for the rest of my life." Anyone who attempts to divide and destroy the Macedonian Empire, or harm the Emperor's heirs, I will be with you to the end, even my best friends. ”

Silonimus and Phoenix are both confidants of Eumenes, and both know who Eumenes is talking about. Antigonus was once one of the few people who admired Eumenes, but now she has become the sworn enemy of the king and Eumenes, which cannot but make people sigh.

"I think it's better to find out about the situation before it's too late." Sensing the dullness of the topic, Phoenix spoke his mind.

"Well, it's a bit of a risk to go directly to Amisus, in case he refuses to give in, he will be startled." Silonimus agreed.

"Then we need to take advantage of Amisus's carelessness and attack his weak underbelly, and we need to wait for the scout to come back and report the situation before making a specific decision." Eumenes said.

The spies soon returned and reported the situation in the city to Eumenes, who learned that Amisus had nothing to do and often went out to hunt, and that Cappadocia was mountainous and full of good hunting grounds, and that it had become very safe after eliminating many bandits. After learning this information, several people thought of the same plan.

"I didn't expect him to have the leisure to hunt at this time, Phoenix, what do you think?" Eumenes said with a smile.

"I think we can try to convince him, but if I go alone, I'm afraid that even if I have Hermes's eloquence, I won't be able to convince him, so ......"

"Hahaha!" Everyone laughed in unison.

"Go ahead, no matter how Amisus reacts, we still have Dmitry's trump card in hand anyway, and he will be the last straw that breaks the camel's back." Eumenes looked at Dmitry, who was alone in the distance, apparently not recovering from the grief of his father's death.

"Yes, Prime Minister." Phoenix said solemnly.

Outside the city of Masaka, a distance from Palasanga to the west is a deep mountain, where all kinds of tulips grow, tulips in plant taxonomy, is a kind of bulbous herbaceous plants belonging to the lily family tulipa (scientific name: tulipa), native from southern Europe, West Asia to East Asia in Northeast China, began to be known at the end of the 16th century Dutch merchant Gina from Turkey to introduce this flower, and then occurred 1634-1637 "tulip mania". The flowering period varies depending on the latitude of the growing area, and it generally blooms from late March to early May. This season, the tulips have passed the flowering period, but in the mountains where the average temperature does not exceed 25 degrees, the tulips are still growing strongly, and the mountains are full of colorful flowers.

"It's beautiful! I suddenly felt that it was a good thing to be such an idle governor, and that I could enjoy a good life without having to swords and swords all day long, and living in trembling. Amisus sighed. Whenever he is tired of hunting, he likes to come to rest in this flower-filled valley, where there is no lack of sunshine, but it is exceptionally cool and quiet, and because of this, the heat-resistant tulips can still survive tenaciously.

"Your Excellency the Governor is so interested! How enviable! One day, I really want to live this idle life like a wild crane. Phoenix's words are actually his own words, but others listen to them, but they are particularly harsh.

"Who are you? If you dare to be sarcastic about me, don't think about getting out of the way if you don't say why. Amisus was visibly furious, believing that he was being ridiculed for being an unambitious, pleasure-loving man. When the soldier saw the stranger, his nerves began to tense, and his weapons were clenched in his hands.

However, the person on the other side was not afraid, pondered for a while, and said: "The general is in the prime of life, it is the time to give full play to your talents, you should not covet a comfortable life early, I have a yearning for it, but I have never dared to slack off, because I am a soldier, and I will fulfill my duty if I do not retire for a day." ”

"I don't know what you're talking about, what's the matter with me." Amisus was confused by what he said, he didn't understand why the other party was telling him this, but then he thought of something, "You're a soldier?" Who are you? ”

"Phoenix!"

"Phoenix, you say you're Phoenix? The Greek who killed Craterus! Amisus, whose mind was still clear, thought of the owner of the name at once, and his pupils dilated, but not because of pain, but because of fear, and he seemed to anticipate something.

"That's right."

"Take it!"

"Slow!" Phoenix shouted with a loud shout, full of majesty, and Amisus's entourage actually stopped.

"I have come with no malice at all, I have come on the orders of the Prime Minister to ask the general to put things in order and join hands with us to assist His Majesty the King. The king is wise and martial, he is another generation of British lords after the emperor, and the king is the rightful successor of the Macedonian Empire, aren't you all Macedonian people? Phoenix said impassionedly, but it seemed that the other party did not cause a ripple, perhaps because the long-term war had made these people numb and lacked the most basic loyalty to the king, or they buried this feeling deep in their hearts. Either way, Phoenix knew that he had failed, and he never had the air of a tyrant, but this was expected by him.

"It turns out that you are here to visit, and you must have underestimated me Amisus, did I change my surname just because of your words? Don't forget that you're alone now, and I have hundreds! ”

"Hahaha, am I so stupid?! Do you think the man who killed Claterus is so capable? These words shocked Amisus, the person who can kill Craterus is incompetent, even if Craterus is just unaware for a while, then people must be good at seizing opportunities!

"Y-are you coming alone?" Amisus looked around, but he didn't see anyone else, but his heart was already beating a drum.

"I hope you can think about it, the battle of Babylon is obvious to you and me, Antigonus army is so strong that it was defeated at the hands of His Majesty, and it was defeated very badly, who else in the world can compete with the king?"

"That's because there's Babylon, the first wall in the world, that would have been the case?" Amisus retorted.

"You're right, without such a strong city, the situation would be completely different, but this also shows that Antigonus is ignorant of current affairs, arrogant, and his defeat is inevitable."

"Little did you know that now that Antigonus has joined forces with Cassander, Lysimachus, and even Ptolemy against Alexander the Younger, your king will soon be out of power! Without the walls of Babylon, would he have been able to withstand the coalition that still outnumbered him? ”

"It seems that you have not received the news yet, but ten days ago, Antigonus was defeated and killed near Alexandrita, a small town south of Issus, and except for Philip and Philetellus, who did not wait for 10,000 people to escape, they were either killed or captured. Soon, the land of Cappadocia will soon return to the king's rule. ”

As soon as he said this, Amisus chuckled in his heart and shouted, "Alert! But when Phoenix appeared before them, Amesus' fate was sealed. A large number of people with various weapons quickly sprang around.

"What do you want to do? Don't think I'm afraid of you. ”

"Amisus! If you dare to resist the king, don't blame me for being ruthless, and you and your men don't want to leave alive. Phoenix let out a cruel word, and the inward-looking Amisuston lost his temper, and everyone looked at me, and I looked at you, and I didn't know what to do.

"Of course, if you are willing to repent in time, Your Majesty will naturally be able to avoid the past." At this time, Eumenes appeared. A short sentence, but it weighed on Amesus's body like a boulder.

"You-you're here too, is it true-" Amisus said in a stunned manner, terrified to the extreme, if the war was not over, it would be impossible for Eumenes to come here to deal with such a small man as him, since several people came together, the probability of Antigonus's defeat was quite high.

"Soldiers, it's all over. From now on, we will have only one object of allegiance, and that is Alexander, the king of the Macedonian Empire. ”

After saying that, most of the soldiers under Amisus lost their weapons, Amisus was weak, he was not afraid, he knew that he would be fine, he was more surprised, he couldn't figure out that Antigonus had fought all his life, invincible, and would be defeated by a hairy boy, which was really unacceptable to him.
