Zhou is closest to Qi, while Zhai Qiang is near Chu. These two men want to vilify Zhang Yi from Wang Wei. When Zhang Yi heard about it, he sent his men to be misers' ambassadors and monitored the people who visited Wang Wei, so that no one dared to slander Zhang Yi.
This officialdom is bloody enough. Stay away from strangers!
Ok, let's take a look at Ariane's Alexander expedition!
(4) At this time, it took Alexander twenty days to build the wall he wanted to create. The following people have also been arranged to settle in the city: any Greek mercenary willing to settle here, people from nearby tribes who voluntarily participate in the construction of new settlements, and all those in the Macedonian army who are not suitable for active service can settle in the city. Then, he offered sacrifices to the gods he often worshipped, and held horse riding and sports competitions. He saw that the troops of West Xu Ya had not left the river bank, and they kept shooting arrows into the river (this section of the river was not wide). He also sneered loudly and abused Alexander to the effect that Alexander did not dare to move the West Xu people; If he dares to move, he will understand the difference between West Asians and Asian Man Zi people. Alexander was very angry after hearing this. He planned to cross the river and attack them, and ordered the troops to make animal rafts to prepare for the strong crossing. However, when he offered sacrifices and asked if crossing the river was auspicious, the sacrifices showed ominous signs. Alexander was deeply disturbed by this. But he still controlled himself and looked at it honestly. However, the people of Xixu continued to shout and abuse. So he offered a sacrifice and crossed the river again. Aristide said the omen was still dangerous. Alexander replied that he had surrendered to almost all of Asia now, and at this moment, he became the laughingstock of the people of Sisyphus, just like Xue Xisi's father Darius long ago. He would rather take the biggest risk in the world than be such a person. As for whether the omen is auspicious or ominous, although Alexander hopes to get a different explanation, Alistair can't change his statement just because he hopes so.
Alexander was angered by Sisyphus. Aristide, as a fortune teller, can't misinterpret the results of divination, which is a bit like the insistence of eastern historians on objective truth, but how can divination be objective? Like today's budget.
When the rafts crossing the river were all ready and the troops drove to the river to set up their positions, Alexander ordered the Xixi people flying along the river on the other side to send stone bullets with slingshots. Some enemies were shot and injured. Even a stone bullet can penetrate a person's shield and armor and knock him off his horse. Seeing that the stone bullet could hit so far and killed the biggest one of them, the Sikhs retreated a little from the river bank. Alexander saw that they were hit by stone bullets, and the order had begun to be out of order. He immediately ordered the sound of the March, personally took the lead in crossing the river, and the whole army immediately followed. Command archers and catapults to land first, so as to shoot arrows and throw stones at Sikhs before all cavalry cross the river and prevent them from approaching the landing infantry phalanx. After the whole army landed and assembled, it first sent a regiment of mercenaries and four squadrons of lancers to attack West Asia. Sicilian is strong and ready to fight. Later, they sent some cavalry to outflank the small Macedonian troops who kept shooting arrows and throwing stones at them, but the main force escaped easily. So Alexander gathered all the archers, Agrian troops and other light troops under the command of Balaklas, personally led them and pursued Sikhs with cavalry. When approaching the enemy, order the three cavalry regiments and all javelin soldiers to attack the enemy immediately. He himself led the rest of the cavalry squadron to pounce on the enemy at full speed in the form of a column. Therefore, the west Xu Ya forces can't outflank like just now. Because the Greek cavalry has pushed very close, at the same time, the light troops and cavalry also prevented them from making any sure outflanking. In fact, Sisyphus's failure has now been decided. They killed thousands of people, including a commander named Sartre Rasis; 150 people have been arrested. The pursuit was rapid, but the pursuit was really hard, because the weather was very hot and the whole army was thirsty. Alexander himself runs a horse and drinks water at the same time. That water is really dirty. Suddenly he had diarrhea. So it is impossible for the troops to kill all the troops in West Xu Ya. If it weren't for Alexander's illness, I believe Sisyphus would be wiped out. Alexander's illness was so dangerous that he was taken back to the camp. Aristand's prediction was thus verified again.
Bad weather, polluted water, Alexander was infected.
(5) Not long after, King Xu sent a representative to see Alexander and expressed regret over what had happened. They said that this incident was not the overall action of the west Xu Ya countries, but the actions of some robbers who ransacked their homes. Nevertheless, the king himself is willing to take responsibility, and he will do whatever Alexander asks him to do. Alexander gave them a polite answer. This is because if you don't trust their king, he must continue to pursue it; If you don't pursue it, it will be very disgraceful; And now is not the best time to pursue, so I have to go down the steps.
Alexander is finally going to compromise. Hey! Can man conquer heaven? If you listen to divination, what about patience?
At the same time, the Macedonian defenders who were monitoring the Maraquin fortress rushed out to fight back while Spitamini attacked them, killed an enemy, drove away the main force, and then returned to the fortress safely. Later, when Spitaminis heard that Alexander's troops sent to Darius Maraquin were approaching, he immediately lifted the encirclement and pretended to retreat to the capital Sogdiana. Just as we were approaching the border of Sogdia, Fanucus and his accompanying officers were eager to drive all the enemies away, so they hurried after them and launched an all-out attack on the herdsmen in west Xu Ya. Seeing this, Spitaminis took the opportunity to attract 600 riders from West Xu Ya to join him. With this group of allies, he had the confidence, so he waited with them for the arrival of the Macedonian army. On a flat land near the desert of West Xu Ya, he arranged his troops. They are not passively waiting for the enemy to attack, nor are they ready to rush them when the enemy comes; But as soon as the Macedonian army arrived, it ran around the infantry phalanx and kept shooting arrows at them. When Fanucus led the attack on them, they easily dodged. Because their horses are full of energy and run fast; At that time, the horses led by Andlau Marcos were exhausted because of the long journey and lack of forage. Therefore, whether they want to hold their ground or retreat, Sisyphus are constantly impacting them. Now, because a large number of soldiers were injured by arrows, some people fell to the ground. Therefore, the officers assembled their troops into a phalanx and retreated to the mitas River in Politi. There is a valley by the river with many trees, which is not easy for Sikhs to shoot. And their own infantry can also play a greater role.
Now it's Alexander's turn to retreat.
At this time, the cavalry commander Caranas ordered the cavalry to cross the river without asking Andlau Marcos, in an attempt to escape on this side of the river. So the infantry also crossed the river and retreated behind the cavalry without any instructions. In a panic, they jumped into the river from the cliff-like shore. Seeing that the Macedonian army had made a mistake, sicilian, who was riding a horse, rushed into the river from all directions, and some people chased those who had crossed the river and were continuing to retreat. Some just cross the river and drag the people who are about to cross the river into the water; The two wings shot arrows at Macedonians at random from the shore; Others pursued those who had just entered the river. At this point, the Macedonian army was cornered and concentrated on an island in the middle of the river to escape. Sicilian swarmed in, and Spitamini's cavalry formed a circle and shot all Macedonians. Some of them were captured alive and hacked to death.
Is Sisyphus Alexander's nemesis?
(6) However, in Aristo Bohr's account, it is said that most of this unit was ambushed and destroyed. It is said that Sikhism was originally hidden in a clearing in the mountains. As soon as the fighting started, they rushed out of their hiding place and made a surprise attack on the Macedonian army. Because at that time, Fanucus gave the command to the officer who came with him. The reason is that he is not familiar with the military, and Alexander sent him only to deal with the affairs of indigenous tribes, not to let him command the battle; They are all friends of Macedonian officers and the king. But Andlau Marcos, Caranas and Mini dimas refused to accept this order. On the one hand, they feel that accepting orders will go beyond the scope of Alexander's instructions and take action without authorization; On the other hand, it is also because, at such a critical juncture, if you are defeated, you will be responsible as a commander. When condemned for dereliction of duty, collective responsibility is always much lighter than individual responsibility. In the confusion of mutual concessions and nobody's responsibility, Sikhs pounced on them and cut them down. As a result, less than forty cavalry and about 300 infantry escaped.
Explain the reasons for this encirclement and suppression.
After reporting this situation to Alexander, he deeply regretted the tragic disaster suffered by his men. Decided to attack the Spitamini and those indigenous troops at full speed. So he led half the cavalry, archers and Agelii's troops, drew the lightest troops from the phalanx, and charged at Marakun. Upon arrival, I learned that Spitaminis had returned with his troops and surrounded the troops guarding the fortress. It took Alexander only three days to cross the platform of1500m and reach the city at dawn. But when Spitaminis heard the news that Alexander was approaching, he ran away without waiting for him to arrive. Alexander followed. When he got to the place where the original battle took place, he buried the dead as generously as possible and chased the enemy to the edge of the desert. Then he went back and completely destroyed the whole area. They also killed all the tribal natives who had been hiding in the fugitives' fortress, because they were said to have participated in the attack on the Macedonian army. Alexander led his troops all over the valley of the mitas River in Politi until the end of the river, and then the desert. Although the amount of water in this river is large, it all flows into the sand and disappears. The same is true of some big rivers that flow all the year round in this area. For example, the Epadas River in Madia, the Arias River in Arias region (named after the river), and the Eti Mandelas River in Thai region of Joerg. Compared with the Pinas River in Thessaly, which flows through the Sea of Taibbi, all these rivers are not small. The mitas River on the Polidi River is much bigger than the Pinas River.
Alexander revenged the fallen soldiers.
(7) After Alexander finished this, he arrived in Spa, Zarija. It's past winter there. During this period, many people came to see Alexander. Among them, Stassano, who was originally sent by Paasia to supervise Flata Furniss to Arria to arrest Asami, also came and took Asami away with chains. Together with him, Bazzanis, who was appointed by Bertha as the supervisor of Paasia, and other leaders who rebelled with Bertha. At the same time, Poe, Silas and melanie Das, as well as Ptolemy, commander-in-chief of Thrace forces, also came from the seaside. Earlier, they went to the seaside with some treasure escorted by the Allies and Minnie. Arthur is here; Arcaz came from the sea with a group of Greek mercenaries, Syrian director Bess and deputy director EsKlippi O 'Dollas.
This paper introduces Alexander's winter in Da Zarija Hot Springs.
Then Alexander called a meeting with his generals, put Bertus in front of everyone, condemned him for betraying Darius, ordered his nose and earlobe to be cut off, and then put him in EkPlatthana, where all the Medes and Persians executed him. I don't agree to use such an excessive death penalty on Bertha. I think it is barbaric to behead a prisoner with a broken limb. Some people say that Alexander went too far in copying the luxury of Medes and Persians and treating his subjects as inferior animals when imitating barbarian toast. I agree with this statement. I don't approve of him wearing Medea clothes instead of traditional Macedonian clothes, especially because he is a descendant of Hercules. In particular, he was not ashamed to replace the Macedonian hat he had worn for a long time as a symbol of victory with the headscarf of the conquered Persians. I don't agree with all this. I think Alexander's brilliant achievements can prove-if anything can really prove my point: no matter how tall and magnificent a man is, no matter how noble and distinguished his family is, no matter how lucky he is in the war, he can surpass Alexander in these aspects, and even accomplish what Alexander wanted to do but failed to do, that is, lead the fleet around Libya and Asia and conquer all places, even places outside Libya and Asia, plus Europe, the third continent. All this is of no benefit to his happiness. Only when he completes these magnificent undertakings in front of the whole world can he learn how to be his own master, which is not in vain.
Ariane's evaluation of Alexander's behavior and achievements.
(8) Here, I want to talk about the death of Cletus (the son of Dropudia) and some things about Alexandria later. Although all these things happened later, I think it may be reasonable to talk about them here first. Every year when they arrive in bacchanalia, Macedonians hold a feast to celebrate the festival. Alexander also offered sacrifices to Dionysus, the god of wine, at this festival every year. It is said that only this year's festival, Alexander ignored Dionysus and offered sacrifices to Dioscuri, probably because he had some reasons to make such a decision. However, because the banquet dragged on, Alexander had developed the habit of savage binge drinking, during which people had an argument about Dioscuri. Some people say that their father is not Tindarius, but Zeus. Among the people attending the banquet, there is a kind of person who has done some harm to the interests of the incumbent king in the past and will continue to do so in the future; But at this banquet, in order to please Alexander, they touted Alexander and his achievements, saying that Caster and Pollack could not be compared with Alexander at all. There are also some drunkards who are not interested in wine, and they list many heroes, saying that they are not as good as Alexander, and even Hercules is not as good as him. They say that the living British refugees are not respected by their contemporaries only because people are jealous of them.
Alexander was touted.
Cletus thinks Alexander's style is becoming more and more savage, and the words of those who flatter him are really disgusting. He has long been tired of these situations. At this time, under the excitement of wine, he could no longer tolerate these people slandering the gods like this; Moreover, they think that they are trying to please Alexander by belittling ancient heroes, which is completely malicious. He felt that Alexander's achievements were not as great and magical as they boasted. Moreover, these achievements were not created by Alexander alone, but mostly by the joint efforts of Macedonians. After he said these thoughts, Alexander was deeply hurt. I don't like Cletus being so outspoken. I think when people drink too much, they'd better swallow your words and ignore the flatterer's mistakes. But later, some people even talked about Philip's achievements, unfairly saying that Philip did not make great and amazing achievements, which was of course to please Alexander. Gal, Kritas couldn't help myself. He trumpeted Philip's contributions and belittled Alexander's achievements. Because he was drunk at that time, and even accused Alexander endlessly. He even said that if these words reached home, he would have saved Alexander's life. Alexander wouldn't be alive today if he hadn't fought Persian cavalry on the Kass River in grani. The most unbearable thing is that he proudly held out his right hand and shouted, "At that time, it was this hand that saved your life, Alexander!" " "Alexander had had enough of Cletus' drunken ravings, and immediately became angry and jumped up to beat him. But I was held up by my drinking buddy. However, Cletus did not stop, and still kept insulting Alexander. Then Alexander shouted at the guard, but no one listened to him. So he began to complain that he was in the same adversity as Darius, that is, his subordinates, Petrus and his gang, locked him in a prison car and ran around. Now he is like this himself, with nothing but a nominal king. At this time, his friends can no longer stop him. He jumped up at once. It is said that he took a spear from a guard, stabbed Cretors and killed him immediately. Others said that he took a pike from the guard and stabbed him to death with it. But Aristo Bohr doesn't think so. On the one hand, he didn't describe the cause of the drinking trouble. On the other hand, he put all the blame on Cletus. He said that when Alexander jumped up angrily to kill him, Ptolemy (one of the guards, the son of Lagas) quickly pulled him away and let him escape from the door. He escaped over the city wall and moat. Things are in the fortress, and this city wall and moat belong to the fortress. However, because Cletus could not control himself, he ran back to the fort. Alexander just shouted, "Cletus! "He just broke in again. So he also shouted: "Alexander, look! Cretas is here! " As soon as the voice fell, the pike came and he died on the spot.
Hey! Alcohol makes people crazy. Finally, I lost my mind and caused a great disaster.
