Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

The Syracuse people were temporarily relieved and confused at the same time: What are the Dionians ready to do? !

Not long after, there were spies rushing to report: the Diaonians are swearing at the swearing-in meeting, and their screams of "vengeance" can even be heard by people living on the northwestern border of the city.

The lawmakers suddenly became nervous again.

At this time, Taiaggenis finally put forward a suggestion: "You, the Carthaginians attacked the small town of Paragogna, killed all the Dionian soldiers in the city, plus the previous invasion of the Catania plains. The destruction of the Dalai Lama will inevitably provoke the anger of the Daonian reinforcements. They are the targets of the Dionyrians to revenge!

As for our Syracuse, it was only under the coercion of the Carthaginian army that we had to send troops to attack the Dainian League to help Tony. But when we talked about the friendship with Dionynia, we never had a full-fledged attack, which made Tonys safe and sound, and there were no casualties.

Now we should thank the arrival of the Daonian reinforcements, forcing the Carthage army to retreat, without the threat of Carthage, the security of Syracuse is guaranteed, and the peace with the former can be restored with Diaonia. ! ......"

Some generals and lawmakers were stunned: before, the alliance with Carthage and the declaration of war against Dionia, mainly from the proposal of the chief general, now in his mouth Syracuse has become a victim, this also It’s too much to reverse black and white!

But more people got the reminder of Taiaggenis, and they rushed to say: "Yes, yes, we have never declared war on Dionia, nor have we directly attacked Dionia, so there is no demand. The problem of the peace. The Diaonians should thank us, because we have a past friendship, did not seriously attack, and delayed the attack of the Carthaginians, which enabled Katane to be preserved."

"Let's temporarily keep peace with the Dionyns, let the Dionyrians and the Carthaginians do their best to kill them. When they are both wounded and exhausted, it is our chance to Syracuse."

......

"But we occupied Kamanina and controlled Pachinus. I don't think Dionia could turn a blind eye to it." Someone raised an objection.

Taiaggenis argued: "It is not the capture but the protection. It is because Syracuse has protected Pachnus and Cammanina that they have suffered the tragic experience of Gera and Agrigento. They should thank Syracuse, not to mention that they are not allies of Dionia. Based on this, I think Dionia should not react too much to this, of course, this requires our messenger to go to Kata. Nai good lobbying..."

Finally, the Syracuse Council passed a proposal to send messengers to Katanea to express their friendship to Dionia and to explore the attitude of the Diaonians.

The last time he negotiated with Marco, Teaggenis personally because he had the confidence that the Carthaginians would not be against him, but for Diaonia, he did not dare to be so big, so he recommended democracy. A very good parliamentarian, Sepanus, went to Katane.

That night, as he waited anxiously, the servant came in and told him: "Sebonus asks."

Taiaggenis immediately rushed to the courtyard and personally introduced it to the study.

"How is the situation? What is the attitude of the Dionians towards Syracuse? Do they agree to keep peace with us?..."

Taiaggenis has an eager appearance, and he is very arrogant when he is at the council during the day. This is probably the true attitude of the chief general in the current situation... Sebonus thought, On the surface, he did not dare to slack off. He said: "General, after I went to Katane, I did not see the King of Dionia, but I saw the original city of Katane, now said to be promoted to the west of the Governor of Sicily. ProLogis, his attitude towards me is not lukewarm, and indeed, as you expected, there is no mention of Kamanina or Pachinus. However, for our request to restore friendship between the two sides, West ProLogis proposed, 'Let us punish Falecus, Stacycos and Cuccias, and talk about restoring friendship.'"

"Penalty to Fracus, Stacycos and Cuccias, why?" Taiaggenis, despite vaguely aware of the reasons, still raised questions.

"General, how have you forgotten, it is because several of them led the army to besiege of Tonys, and Tonys is the ally of Dionynia, of course, Diaonia must be in its head!" Sebonus reminded.

At the beginning, Tergennis led the army to attack Kamanina, then forced Pachinus, and then successfully negotiated with the Carthaginians, thus gaining great prestige. This made the neutral generals feel embarrassed, so in the next military operation, they were strongly demanded to be generals in the generals of the generals. On the one hand, Taigengens did not want to be in a stalemate with the generals of the neutrals. On the other hand, he considered that the next war was dominated by the Carthaginians. The Syracuse army was only an aid and there was not much benefit. So he chose to give in.

At the moment, after listening to Sebanous, Taiaggenis felt a little fortunate in his heart, and also let him fall into thoughts.

"General." Sebbanus took a few steps and whispered: "This is a good opportunity! Falecus has occupied the committee for many years and has created so much trouble for you, seriously hampering the people who support you into the committee. Now may be a good opportunity to solve this trouble..."

Taiaggenis looked up at him: "The Dionyns did not say that they had punished Falecus and they resumed friendship with Syracuse."

"But they have not shown obvious malice to us, always try it." Sebonus continued to persuade.

Taiaggennis did not respond for a while, and pondered for a while, then hesitated and said: "Be careful that the Dionyns are playing tricks!... So... tomorrow, at the council, except for you." If Katanay’s situation is true, don’t say anything else. I will also inform our people in advance not to speak casually, to see other people’s reactions, and then to plan...”

.............................................

The next day, at the meeting in Syracuse, after the end of the request of Dionya by Sebonus, the entire venue was smashed.

Kuchias first jumped out in anger and accused it of being a ridiculous request.

Some neutral lawmakers also expressed their clear opposition, arguing that this is a shame on Syracuse.

Of course, it has also been suggested that for the benefit of Syracuse, there are no other grievances for Falekus and other generals. Anyway, it is just a gesture to satisfy Diaonia, then Syracuse can avoid Dioria's corps.

A small number of members from the port civilians agreed.

The two sides are arguing endlessly.

The democrats headed by Taigenes have been watching.

As soon as noon, the council suddenly got the news: the people in the city have seen a lot of panic and change!

It turned out that there were sudden rumors in the people of the city: the tens of thousands of Daonian troops are about to attack Syracuse, and the terrible consequences are caused by Teaggenis! It was he who forcibly demanded 'an alliance with Carthage and declared war with Dionya' to anger the Diaonians, and the Carthage he relied on retreated without any faith, leaving Syracuse into In the midst of danger, Taigenes must be responsible for this! And punishing Teaggenis may quell the anger of the Dionyrians...

The rumors spread quickly throughout the city, and the people gathered together to talk.

The news surprised the democrats, especially Taiargens, who knew that if this matter was not handled well, it would have a great impact on his prestige, so he proposed to temporarily suspend the meeting and send people to appease the people.

But at this time, Falekus and others expressed their opposition, especially Kuqias’s anger pointed out: “If you want to calm the anger of the Dionyrians, the most punishment should be Taiaggenis because he It is the chief culprit of all this! And as the chief general of Syracuse, he not only failed to fulfill his duties, but also brought disaster to Syracuse, and he did not deserve to be in this sacred position!..."

The words of Kuchias provoked an uproar.

The democrats headed by Taiaggenis are now more certain: the rumors in the city are most likely to be made by Falecus, which is used by them to achieve the purpose of shifting contradictions and fighting the prestige of Taigenes.

Therefore, Taiaggenis first attacked, slammed Falekus and others, and other democrats also helped.

The neutral generals and parliamentarians such as Falekus did not dare to show weakness and accused the democrats.

The originally controversial venue debate became a fierce quarrel. In particular, Falekus had long been dissatisfied with Taiagnis, and simply took Taigengens’s efforts to focus on the neutrals in the past year. The anecdotes, the purchases and other anecdotes are shaken one by one.

Teeggennis also did not want to be outdone, accusing the neutrals such as Falekus of uniting themselves to be crowded out during their tenure as chief generals, and they secretly forced themselves to unite with them to jointly suppress the port civilians...

There was no noise in the venue, and there was no order at all, even from being beaten.

Only a handful of port civilians headed by Hiktas stood by and stood by.

Eventually, the meeting did not reach any agreement and had to meet in advance.

Not long after, what happened in the venue spread throughout the city of Syracuse and affected the people in the city. Under the instigation of the people, the supporters of the neutrals began to swear the hypocrisy of Taiargenis and declared that the council should punish him to quell the war.

The views of the people who embraced Taiagnis are just the opposite. The two sides have disputes and have evolved into conflicts.
