Chapter 25： Negotiation breakdown

As he approached the Persian cavalry, Felicius told Daves that the Persians headed by were the Aririus, Artauzus and Mitradat, and the three of them were the most trusted subordinates of the small Cyrus. . Another centered Persian, Davers knew, was the former Persian messenger Sister.

When the team officers walked about 20 meters from the Persian cavalry, they stopped.

"Please come near!" Alijos pointed at his horse.

The team officers did not move.

Sister couldn't help but sarcastically: "Is the Greeks so timid?"

"Because the Persians have repeatedly violated their promises, we have not dared to believe in the Persians again!" Xenophon retorted.

"Yes, the Persians are shameless villains, even God can deceive!" Crianno snarled in anger, his words resonated with other team officers, and he screamed.

"Please keep quiet! Listen carefully to the king's orders!!" Alijos shouted.

"That is your king, not ours. If you want to say it, don't say we will go back!" Daphus also shouted.

"We Greeks are free, unlike the Persians who are slaves to your king!" Tima Song is half proud and half ridiculous.

Ali Moss got angry and his nose fell. He turned to look at Sister. Sister nodded to him. He then unwittingly unfolded the papyrus in his hand and read aloud: "The Greeks, me, Artaxerxes Sri Lanka, the king of the Persians, the king of the nations, declared that Krilkus violated the oath and destroyed the truce, and the gods had already punished him with him. Prokhsinus, Menon, Achilles, Socrates, four The leader, because of his conspiracy, is being treated with the lofty courtesy of my Governor Tisafunis! In order to prevent such a terrible betrayal on the road, and for safety - "Ari Russ increased the volume, solemnly said:" Ask all Greek soldiers to surrender your weapons, because the money to buy these weapons comes from the rebellious little Cyrus, and his money comes from the Persian treasury, which should belong to me! Hand over the weapons, I go to the supreme **** Mazda Swear, promise you a smooth arrival in Ionia!"

"Ha ha ha!!..." Daphus laughed loudly: "The wolf scams deer as friends, and then eats them. The wolf who tastes good also wants to lie to all the deer to break the horns, so that the wolf can be assured of boldness. Enjoy their meat! Hahaha... Is this stupid person going to do this again, or is your king's head broken?!!"

"Bold!!" Ali Rouse angered Duffus: "Insult the king, to be burned by fire!"

"Enough, Ari Rousse, you shameless villain! And you are a few of the closest Cyrus comrades, you are not ashamed in front of the gods!" Kryano pointed to Alijos, Altazus and Mitradat, angry and yelling: "You have vowed with us to be an ally to the gods, against the Persian king, but now betray us, and cooperate with Tisfornis, the inhuman villain, Not only did they deceive Clareus, but they also tried to sell out the rest of us! Even if you are in **** and know what you are doing, you will curse you!"

Alijos unnaturally shrinks his neck, and subconsciously glances at Sister next to him. Sister has nothing to do with me, so he has to say: "The king really wants to send you back safely. Home, because the renegade - Little Cyrus has been subjected to the most fair punishment, you have only been deceived by him! The great king is kind, do not want to suffer a war of unnecessary in the Persian land! However, after Prokhsinus Their report, Clairkus began plotting against Tisafunis and the Persian army ten days ago, and spread rumors everywhere, trying to separate the relationship between the Greeks and the Persians, we have to take action against him!"

"Since you said that Prokhsinus exposed the Clairkus and got your reward, then please let them come here, so naturally they can resolve the suspicions between us, and as the leader they can also serve us both. The settlement proposes better advice!" Xenophon is still working to save Prokhsinus.

"That's right, let our leader come here, we will believe you!!" The team officers loudly screamed.

"Hey...Prok Sinaus, they accept the feast of Tisafunis...have been drunk...so..." Ai Rue said during the Arière period, Sister was already impatient, he said aloud. : "The king has orders, immediately hand over your weapons, in order to ensure that you go home safely, otherwise we will not provide any help for you!"

"Aris is on, the Greek soldiers will never discard their weapons, and they will be slaughtered!!" Tima Song hit the bronze shield with a stab gun and shouted.

"Who wants to take our weapons, we will fight with him!" Crianno yelled.

"Prok Sinaus, they can't come, not drunk, but they have been killed by you, right?!" Xenophon said with sorrow, he said the result was so serious, he wanted to force Alijos They spoke the truth, but they did not expect to provoke the anger of the team officers.

"The Persians want to kill us!"

"Revenge for the leaders!"

......

The irritated team officers surrounded them with Ari Russ. Sister looked bad and turned around and ran. Then Alijos followed them back. After running for a while, Sister turned back and saw that he had distanced himself from the Greeks. He remembered that he was a stranger of the Persian nobles and emperors. He was scared away by a group of Greek barbarians, and he was ashamed and angry, so he shouted: Greeks, you missed the best chance, and soon you will regret it!!"

"I don't know who will regret it until now!" Xenophon answered hard.

Watching the Persian cavalry leave, everyone is worried, and it is certain that the mercenary leaders will not be too good, and the Persians have tore their faces. What should they do now?

Surrender to the Persians? Even the brothers of Persia, the little Cyrus, were cruelly cut off their heads and cut their hands. Most of the team officials did not think that they would be better off after the surrender! Not being killed, it is likely to be a slave. For this choice, team officers are unacceptable and cannot accept.

In addition, they can only choose to fight again with the Persians in this strange land! Now they are led by the Persians on a marching route they have never walked before. They are far away from home. www.novelhall.com~ Without the help of the Persians, they can only explore the progress, don’t know How many races and villages are hostile to them, and they must guard against the attacks of the Persian army. The most annoying thing is that the Persians are fighting against them in the face, but they can't catch up with the Persians, and if they fail, they may be destroyed. It is because of these difficulties that everyone is frustrated and I don’t know what to do. When they went out to camp, the soldiers still had some spirits. When they returned to the camp, they all sighed and sighed.

Back to the barracks, when the team officers in charge of the battalions reunited, Daves naturally followed Felicius and participated in the discussion. Of course, as a newcomer, he rarely speaks, and more is observing these team officers. In the heated debate, they are more likely to expose their own personality: grumpy Tima Song, savvy Kryano, cautious Zatiparis, and other team officials have a good relationship with Agarcia...

Xenophon is much more active. He not only violently argues with others many times, but also exclaimed with excitement: "You, Clairkus, they have been captured by the Persians, we must immediately choose the new leader of each camp to replace They then convened a general meeting of the whole army, re-establishing the soldiers’ determination to fight the Persians and the confidence that we must rely on ourselves to return home. Otherwise, let this chaos continue, and we will all finish without waiting for the Persians to attack. !"

Davers thinks that Xenophon is right. Although he is just getting started in the military, he used to be a village official in his previous life. He was the head of the high-tech development zone and managed to manage more than 10,000 soldiers. Therefore, he is well aware of the importance of unifying thoughts and encouraging confidence in a group.

Tima Song seems to have some resentment of Xenophon's over-exaggeration. He doesn't look at Xenophon at all. He turned and said to others: "Don't worry, the guest Sophos will be back soon!"
