After seeing the war report, Alexander was very happy, the direct murderer of Alexander IV in history, Glousias, was killed in the chaos is more in line with Alexander's wishes, if this guy surrenders, then Alexander is really unhappy, but he still ran away to Cassander, this guy only ran to the northern barbarian settlement this time, because Pela no longer has many troops, and when Alexander IV, the descendant of the Macedonian Ajid royal family, comes to the city, how many people will still be loyal to Cassander?

"Your Majesty, this time you have won a great victory, I wonder if you will turn around now to deal with Lisimachus and the barbarian coalition?" Antignis tried to ask, he had just made a great achievement, and his silver shield soldiers easily shredded the defenses of Cassander's left flank, proving the strength of the silver shield soldiers once again.

"No, send someone to inform the big camp in Hedong, withdraw all the people, and return to Pela with me."

"Your Majesty, why don't you fight? Is it just for them to be left alone? Ares asked, puzzled.

"Why, do you doubt His Majesty's decision? When was Your Majesty's decision wrong? Garras said.

"The reason why Your Majesty did not go to deal with Lysimachus was not because he wanted to let him go, but because now he was united with the barbarians, ready for a decisive battle. But once we know that we have completely defeated Cassander, the morale of the coalition will be greatly damaged, because without Cassander, the coalition will no longer be in an advantageous position. Next, either they will come to us for a decisive battle, because after a long time, the food supply of those barbarians is a big problem, and with the liberation of Macedonia, we may not need to fight, and the barbarian army is likely to disband on its own, and then it will be easy for us to deal with Lysimachus, or even surrender directly. In any case, the initiative is always in our hands. Eumenis analyzed.

"The general is really smart, and only the general can understand His Majesty's mind and admire it." Oldmouth flattered.

"I don't think Lysimachus will have the courage to chase after him, just like the general said, he wants to find us for a decisive battle, and the battlefield is completely chosen by us, he has no geographical advantage at all, let alone people. We can also deal with them slowly and defeat them in one fell swoop when they run out of food. Patrocles said.

"You have a lot of credit this time, that ambush consumed a lot of his troops and morale, and he had almost no losses, if it weren't for the lack of troops, he could have won a big victory." Alexander said with a pleased look at Patrocles.

"Your Majesty, this is what I should do, one of my subordinates Carlos is a good general, very capable, this time he made a lot of efforts to block the way for Cassander's retreat, so that Cassander had no way to escape back to his lair but fled to the north."

"Well, I see, when I get back to Pella, I'll be rewarded."

It was Cassander's younger brother Simmons who guarded Pella, and when he saw that it was not Cassander's army that came back, Alexander's army was suddenly left without a master, and finally he was directly beheaded by the heart and sacrificed to Alexander. However, Alexander did not have a good face for this kind of traitor seeking glory, but he was rewarded with some wealth.

Lysimachos was shocked when he learned that Cassander was defeated and disappeared, although he could have about 50,000 men and horses after uniting with the barbarian army, he didn't think that he still had any chance, and was urged several times by several barbarian envoys, but he never responded.

At this time, the camp of Lysimachos was gloomy.

"Your Excellency Governor, are you still worried about what to do next?" Onesi Cretas said.

"Yes, big brother, this time it's a big trouble, do you think there is still a chance to fight next?" Antolicus asked sadly.

"Opportunity? It's too small, Alexander's strength has surpassed ours, even more than Antigonus at its peak, and now he is only part of the army, he still has a lot of troops in the East, and he can also pull up a team of tens of thousands of people at any time, but we are different, we can't afford to lose, losing means losing everything, Antigonus, Cassander has been defeated one after another, and Ptolemy, although the last time in Gaza was only a small defeat, but when Alexander solved the war in Europe, it was his turn next. "Philateros' words are cruel and true.

"So what are we going to do? Surrender? Hearing Onesikritas say this, Antolicus was completely desperate.

"Surrender? It's all already like this, can Alexander still accept my surrender? Hehe, I can't fight, and I don't know where to go when those barbarians go back, is my Lisimachus's martial arts really over? Alas......"

"Perhaps, there is someone who can answer your questions." Onesi Cretas said mysteriously.

"Who?"

"Siloni Muster, please come in."

Silonimus entered the tent and said to Lysimachus excitedly: "If you have come to solve the problems of the Governor this time, as long as the Governor can follow my advice, then you will have no worries at once, and you will even be able to keep your position as Governor." ”

"What do you say? You're not kidding me, are you? Lisimachos was stunned for a moment, and then said in a slightly embarrassed tone.

"Of course it's not a joke, Your Majesty is merciful, and hereby orders me to come over and persuade the Governor, hoping that the Governor will return to His Majesty's command, you were the close guard of the first emperor back then, loyal to the first emperor, and now loyal to the son of the first emperor, that is a natural thing, you say yes?"

Lysimachos was so embarrassed that he could barely squeeze out a smile, but it was worse than crying.

"Your Majesty said that as long as you can do one thing, then you will still be the governor, and you will still be able to enjoy the power and wealth in your hands." Silonimus's words were like a heavenly sound, shocking everyone and excited at the same time.

"Really? What the hell is going on? Lisimachos had a faint sense of foreboding, he didn't believe that there was a pie in the sky, his rebellion was a sure thing, and as a king, no matter how merciful he was, he probably wouldn't say that he wouldn't be held accountable.

"Your Majesty means that while the leaders or generals of several barbarian tribes are here, you can set up a banquet to greet them, and then—" Sylonimus smiled heavily, and then made a head-killing motion.

"What! Your Majesty wants me to kill them?! Lysimachos exclaimed, a cold sweat breaking out on his forehead.

"Shhhh Otherwise, how can you, the governor, sit firmly! ”

"Why can't you sit still, what the hell do you mean?" Antolicus exclaimed, he was not a fool either, he still understood the concept of betraying allies.

"Your Majesty appointed you as the governor of Gaita, and asked you to help him guard the northern frontier and conquer all the barbarians in northern Macedonia, this power is very great, and then the entire north will not be all your world?"

"What are you kidding, with my current strength, let me fight over, what's the difference between that and looking for death?" Lisimachos immediately retorted.

"So if you solve these tens of thousands of people in front of you first, won't that greatly weaken their strength? If you need help, Your Majesty will send troops to help you, but I think that with your ability, you shouldn't need to bother Your Majesty to send troops again, right? ”

Lisimachos sat down decadently and said gloomily, "You let me think first. ”

"Okay, then I'll wait for good news, but what Your Majesty says always counts, I don't think you need to worry about this, as long as you do what Your Majesty asks you to do, what you promise you will definitely count." With that, Silonimus swaggered back.

"What a vicious strategy! This is to drive me completely against the barbarians! Governor Geta, hehe! As long as I agree to his request, it is equivalent to forming a life-and-death enmity with all the northern barbarians that will never be resolved, and without his help in the future, I will never be able to sit in this position. This trick is amazing! Leave me alone, it doesn't take much to wipe out the tens of thousands of barbarian armies, and you can also drive a nail in the north, and the most hateful thing is that this hatred will be recorded in my name, when will I, Lisimachus, live so cowardly! Lysimachos angrily picked up a cup and threw it on the ground hatefully, venting his depression.

"Big brother, what are you hesitating about, let's do it."

"Yes, General, it's all up to this, do we still have a choice? Do you really want to be beaten and run away like Cassander, not knowing whether you are alive or dead? ”

"General—" Phileteros persuaded as well.

That night, Lysimachus led the army into the camp of the barbarians, these aliens did not expect Lysimachus to attack them, so the defense was very lax, after several sentry posts were shot, the Macedonians successfully broke into the camp, and the barbarians did not have the habit of arranging secret sentry at all. Soon the shouts of killing were heard, and Lysimachus easily burned down their camp. Although these northern barbarians were brave but had always had little discipline to speak of, in such a chaotic situation, there was no way to stop effective resistance, it was simply a one-sided massacre.

"What the hell is going on?" Prince Geita Desebazo asked angrily.

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, it was Lisimachos who suddenly attacked, and we were not prepared at all, and we were caught off guard!" A centurion cried.

"Bastard, didn't he let us attack Alexander together? How can it attack us in turn? Desebazo asked, both angry and puzzled, but everyone looked at each other.

"Is this a bureau at all? But it is clear that Lisimachus sent troops to participate in Antigonus's coalition against Alexander, how could they still be united, this is really incomprehensible. Bastania General Leo said angrily.

"Prince, let's go quickly, it's too late, since Lysimachus has defected, it means that either he has been defeated and surrendered to Alexander, or it means that this is a game at all. In short, there is no way for us to fight them, we have to escape. The centurion shouted in despair.

"Damn, Lysimachus, Alexander, I must avenge this revenge, you stay behind the palace, and we will go." Desebazo said hatefully.

In less than an hour, Lysimachus had annihilated most of the barbarians, more than 10,000 were captured, and only a part of the cavalry and a few infantry escaped, after all, on the plain, it was difficult for the infantry to escape, and only by the darkness of the night did the lone infantry not attract attention, and after running north for a while, they escaped into the mountains of the Balkans.

At this point, Alexander's return was over, and it took almost no effort to occupy Macedonia and southern Thrace, as well as the whole of Greece, and to inflict heavy losses on the barbarians in the north.
