This region of Asia was both familiar and unfamiliar to Alexander, familiar with the history and geography of Asia, Alexander's theoretical level was quite attained, and unfamiliar was the region of West Asia where he was now, he had never been to it before, and even if he was knowledgeable, he could not grasp some of the details of this era when history was scarce, and he could not understand the distribution and control of the Diadochi here. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 This is what Alexander is more worried about, because he does not have a powerful spy organization in his hands, so it has a great constraint on his future strategic planning, which is an important reason why he has not made a decision for a long time.

"Your Majesty, the generals have been privately discussing when to prepare for the expedition recently, and I think they can't wait." Arestonos said.

"I still don't know what Ptolemy's intentions are, and I don't know what the situation is in the East, am I not waiting for news? Attacking rashly, in case Ptolemy stabbed me in the back, it would not be miserable. ”

"And when are you going to go?"

"Wait a minute, the spies sent out have not heard from them for a long time, and I don't know what they are eating."

"Hold on, I think they'll be back soon."

"Report-" A soldier rushed into the main hall and said breathlessly, "Your Majesty, there are people outside asking to see you." ”

"Who?"

"One is Philip the merchant, and the other is I don't know who."

"Oh, please!"

The two arrived at the city hall in a few moments, Philip was no more than 30 years old, and next to him was a balding old man, who looked to be at least 60 years old.

"Please sit down, I don't know what is the so-called visit today?"

"Your Majesty, I'm here to provide you with some information." Philip said.

"Intelligence? What intelligence? Alexander wondered.

"Of course, there is important information, there is military information, there is also political information."

"Who is this?" Alexander asked Philip, pointing to the old man.

"This is my father, Eumorpos."

"Are you the spy chief who has been in Macedonia since my grandfather's time and has provided a great deal of information to the Empire, Eumor of the city of Soli?" Alexander stood up and asked in unusual surprise.

"That's right, it's me, it's the honor of my life to serve the royal family of Ajid, I have provided a lot of information about the Persians to the empire countless times, and I have been on the verge of life and death countless times, but fortunately, I survived in the end. Originally, I had already retired, but when I heard that the young king had defeated Cassander and had come to Tyre, I couldn't control my legs, old man, and I insisted on coming to see you. Eumor Pos was full of flattery and told him what he had done.

Alexander knew that this old man was very cunning, and that he was almost executed by the Persians, so he immediately pretended to be his grandson, and expressed his willingness to provide the Persians with information about Macedonia in exchange for his life, that is, to be a double spy. Of course, Eummorepos was shameless after that, but he also showed his loyalty to the Macedonian royal family by not keeping his promises. As a result, Eumor Pos was a natural spy, and his whole body was full of the characteristics of a spy: sinister, cunning, flattery, cheeky, good at disguise and concealment of heart.

"I thought it was just a legend, but I didn't expect you to really exist."

Eummelpos was embarrassed for a while, and he didn't know whether this sentence was a compliment or a derogation, but it was only a matter of a moment, and he immediately said with a smile on his face: "Your Majesty has been deeply honored to hear my humble name, and it is not in vain that I have a lot of love for the kings of my ancestors. Your Majesty, from today onwards, I will continue to serve you, together with my son, to help you achieve great things, and I hope that Your Majesty will not dislike my old age. ”…,

"I'm glad you have this heart, but you're so old that you should enjoy family fun at home, so why bother with it?"

"Alas...... I have dedicated most of my life to the Macedonian Empire, but in the end, the empire fell apart in an instant, I really couldn't bear it in my heart, I thought that I had no skills to return to the sky, but I didn't expect Your Majesty to turn the tide. I believe that as long as you are there, the revival of the Macedonian Empire is just around the corner. Therefore, I will dedicate this body to the great cause of the restoration of the empire. ”

"Very good, I am really glad that you have this heart, and I also believe that the great cause of revival will succeed sooner or later, but what can you do for me?" Alexander seemed to be moved by the sincerity of the other party, after all, he is not very powerful now, although he is a potential stock, but the future is uncertain, the other party does this, which shows that he does have feelings for the royal family of Ajid.

"Your Majesty, my son is a businessman, and the merchants of Tyre are all over the world, and we can always know what is happening thousands of miles away, so don't underestimate the ability of the merchants. And I'm too old to spy on any more information, but I can train a lot of spies for you, what do you think? ”

"Well, very good, I believe in your ability, in the future, you will be the Minister of Intelligence of the Empire, you will select about 200 qualified personnel for training, you tell me how much money you want, I will arrange it for you."

"Okay, don't worry, I, Eumorepos, will definitely train qualified assassins and spies for you." Euland Morpos said excitedly, his eyes full of confidence, and the wrinkles on his face could not hide his strong spirit, as if he was ten years younger, which satisfied Alexander.

"Your Majesty!" Philip interrupted the king's thoughts, and he said solemnly, "The weapons and armor you have made for me are being produced in an orderly manner, and I think it will not be long before they are done." ”

"There is still a batch of weapons to be produced next, but I have been busy dealing with government affairs and neglected it some time ago, and then I have to devote my energy to weapons, if this weapon is produced, it will greatly change the direction of future wars!"

"Oh! I don't know what kind of weapon it is, it must be very powerful if it has such a big effect, right? ”

"Of course, I have seen the stirrup invented by His Majesty, and that is enough to change the combat mode of the entire cavalry in the future. The next weapon must also be the work of His Majesty's great work. Eumorpos said.

"Yes, although the stirrup is an epoch-making work, and its effect is obvious, we can only use it for a while, and when our enemies have this information, they will quickly produce a large number of cavalry with stirrups, and then our advantage will not be there." Alexander said with regret, but soon, his eyes shone again: "But the following weapon cannot be produced by anyone, nor anywhere. ”

"What kind of weapon is it?" Father and son said in unison.

Alexander looked at the two of them mysteriously, then looked into the distance and said meaningfully, "Soon you will know." ”
