Vol 6 Chapter 3: Collins War


As a Spartan hero who defeated Athens, Laishande used to support the sectarian regime that was loyal to Sparta. Now he came to Asia Minor. The powers of these city-states came to visit him, followed him and made various demands to him, making him as if he was the real king, and Agassius was just a follow-up.
But very quickly, Laishande tasted the greatness of Agassius. Any request he made to Agrislaus, even if it was reasonable, was rejected by the king of Sparta, even Agger. Silos also secretly sent people out to publicize: Laishande is just an ordinary member of Sparta's "30-man military committee" and has no power.
As a result, Laishande promised that these people's demands could not be fulfilled, and the power-owners of these city-states realized that the situation had changed and turned to please Agassius.
And Agassius’s alienation from Laishande made Laishande feel uneasy. He finally realized that he had blinded his eyes at first. This new king is by no means a mediocrity.
At this moment, Laishande is not a brilliant Spartan hero a few years ago. The failure to conspire to overthrow the Spartan system and the other people’s guards against him in the elders’ council have already deprived him of his real power. In the end, he had to Proactively to Agrislaus: I am willing to go to the Hells strait, and draw the city-state that was attached to Persia before.
Agassius agreed with his request.
After rehabilitating the ambitious Laishande, Agrasus began to show his military abilities. His soldiers were more flexible than Deki Kiridas, and they revolved between the jurisdiction of the two Persian governors of Tissaforis and Fana Bazos, leaving the Persian army at a loss, and in the spring of 395 BC, Sardis In the First World War, the army of Tisafunis was devastated.
Due to this fiasco, the mother of the Persian king Artaxerxes, Palusatis, finally seized the opportunity to let his son dismiss Tisavnis and finally executed him, thus reporting his younger son, Juarez. hatred.
The news reached the army of Agassius, and the mercenaries who had experienced the "10,000-strong retreat" were thunderous. Xenophon also wrote a letter to Daves, far from Turui, to express The joy in his heart and the admiration of King Sparta Agassius.
Agassius’s military operations in Asia Minor gave Persia a lot of pressure. The Persian king had to mobilize troops from other areas to deal with Sparta’s offensive, which led to defensive deficiencies in other regions. In the Egyptian province farthest from Persia, the Egyptians who had been fighting the Persian rule finally seized this opportunity and rebelled under the leadership of Akoris, successfully driving away the Persians, realizing independence and rebuilding. The kingdom of Egypt, and Akoris also became the new Pharaoh (this is the 29th Dynasty in the history of ancient Egypt).
In order to recapture Egypt, Persia sent messengers to Agreslaus several times in 395 BC, but Agrasus rejected the Persians’ summation, and Persian king Artaxerxes saw Sparta The Daren did not intend to withdraw troops from Asia Minor. On the contrary, the ultimate goal of Agassius was himself. So he was angry and he sent people to Greece on the advice of the minister to start the relationship with Thebes, Corinth, Argos and so on. The generals and parliamentarians who have had a bad relationship have made a lot of money bribes. The only condition is that they must fight the Spartans.
The answer of these city-states is very similar: even without this money, they are eager to go to war, because the Spartans are too overbearing, not only do not respect them, but also repeatedly damage the interests of their city-states!
Under the shackles of the Persian messengers, these city-states began to quietly negotiate and form alliances. Among them, the Thebes were most active in declaring war on Sparta. They began to provoke their own ally Bonghris to Sparta’s ally, Fukes. In the conflict, when the Fukes finally invaded Rothris, the Thebes claimed that Fukes had invaded his own allies and declared war on Fukes in order to defend the alliance.
Thus, Thebes summoned the army into the territory of Fukis, and the weak Fukus had to ask for help from Sparta. Although Fukes is small, it is an important city state near the Delphi area, which is good for Spartans to intervene in Delphi’s religious affairs, and the Spartans also scorned and destroyed them before the Persian expedition. The memory of the temple was still fresh, so I was very happy to find the reason for attacking Thebes, and immediately decided to punish Thebes for being rude to Sparta.
Thus, the Spartan army broke into Thebes in two ways. One route, another Spartan king, Paulny Ass, led the army to the north, and the other was sent by the elders' council to Laishande, who had returned to Sparta, to Fukes, to organize a local coalition and attack the south. Sis. Laishande quickly completed the task and also attacked the Okomenus in the Piosha region.
In the face of Sparta's strong threat, Thebes turned to Athens, the nearest strong state, for help.
After the failure of the Peloponnesian War, the dark rule of the "Thirty Lords", and the restoration of the democrats, the Athenians faded away from the arrogance of the past and reconciled the democrats with a moderate system in the country. With the differences between the nobles and the nobles, the former allies were treated equally. Under this steady and pragmatic policy, after nearly a decade, the strength of Athens was rapidly recovering. With the strength of Athens, you want to get rid of Spartan's control and get real freedom in military and business.
So after receiving the help from Bibis, Athens held a citizen assembly. At the conference, the overwhelming majority of citizens voted for: to form an alliance with the former enemy, Thebes, and to fight with Sparta.
In the end, the leader of the democratic army, Syracuse, who led the rebel army’s hard work and eventually overthrew the "Thirty-Year Masters" rule and revived Athens, informed the Athenians of the resolution of the Athenians, and said with a firm tone: "... Although there is no city wall in the port of Piraeus, we in Athens will bravely face the danger and face the cruel Spartans side by side with your Thebes!"
The Thebes were moved, and the two city-states that had been enemies for decades quickly entered into a covenant, claiming that: Thebes had a long-standing alliance with Athens.
At this moment, the troops led by Laishande and Pasangiyas approached the Pioxia area, and they agreed to join the city near the city of Halytus in the south of Thebes.
However, after the arrival of Laishande, the army of Paulanias was still missing. Laishande tried to persuade the Haliatus to defect to Thebes.
The Jalathus pretended to agree and secretly delayed the time. When the reinforcements of Thebes arrived, they suddenly went out of the city and attacked the troops of Leshande before and after the army of Thebes.
As the founder of Spartan hegemony, Laishande unexpectedly died in this sudden battle, but in the following wars, the Thebes failed to completely defeat this disarmed army who lost the leader. lost heavily.
The next day, Paulanias led the team to come.
The Thebes saw that Sparta had many people, and the military was neat, and the morale was low.
However, Paulanias did not immediately attack the army, but camped nearby.
On the third day, the reinforcements of Athens also arrived.
The Thebes were immediately more confident, and they were with the Athenians to prepare for the Spartans.
Paulines did not immediately lead the army to approach the coalition, nor accepted the enemy's challenge, but recruited the team's officials to discuss: Is it an immediate war, or a truce treaty? In order to facilitate their recovery of the body of Laishande and other fallen soldiers.
Eventually the Spartans decided to take a truce.
After consultations between the two sides, the Spartan army withdrew the body of his comrades and evacuated Pio.
The ordinary citizens of Sparta saw the grief of Laishande’s body. They recalled the great contribution that Laishande had made to Sparta, turned grief into anger, and accused Sparta King Paulianas of deliberately delaying the time of the meeting. Killing Laishande~EbookFREE.me~ and his crime of retreating without a fight.
The elders of the Elder Council did not fully defend the Spartan king because of the great impact of the death of Laishande and the retreat of Sparta, which directly led to the conclusion of the four important Greek city-states. The Bada League, they are: Thebes, Athens, Corinth, Argos.
As a result, Sparta King Paul Sanyas was found guilty and was exiled.
The Spartans realized that this anti-Spartan alliance had caused great harm to Sparta’s hegemony and quickly summoned the army to attempt to eliminate this alliance.
The anti-Spartan alliance also quickly assembled the army in the Isthmus of Corinth, hoping to resist the attack on Sparta, and then counter-attack into the Spartan territory, completely burning the "Wasp's lair."
As a result, the two sides began a long-lasting battle in the Isthmus of Corinth...
...........................
Also in this year, there was a war in Sicily.
The fighting between the Syracuse and Carthage forces on the north coast of Sicily has lasted for half a year.
When the time entered 494 BC, the important countries and city-states of the Mediterranean were caught in the quagmire of war, while the Great Greece had enjoyed more than three years of peace.
Early in the morning, Lucassus came to the clinic to start cleaning and organizing things. As a medical apprentice, the preparation work before the clinic is his life. He believes that hard work can win the trust of the teacher and learn the real medical skills. Today, his mood is exceptionally good because he has to accompany the teacher. Far away.
When the doctor Nick Stratus came to the clinic slowly, Lucassus had already wrapped the parcel. Nikostratus, who had never been fond of trivial matters, only asked: "Is everything together?"
After getting a positive answer from Lucassus, he nodded and said, "Let's go."
