Greek, like other languages, has gone through many different changes throughout history.
The Greek language commonly used in later generations was slowly formed in the ninth century AD, which was almost the golden age of Arabia. There is actually a relationship between the two, but for Li Ning, it is a huge difficulty to understand classical Greek in BC.
Fortunately, Greece's rapid decline in modern history has made them eager to regain their national self-esteem. Therefore, words that imitate ancient times began to appear in their language. Although these words are widely used in literary terms. In this way, Li Ning, who has not systematically studied classical Greek writing, can still guess some of the meanings of ancient Greek through the Greek imitations of later generations.
However, this can only be called "decoding". Compared with Arabs who have been immersed in this industry for hundreds of years, he is still far behind.
Since the ninth century when the Greek language changed was a period of prosperity for Arab translation, it is very likely that the Greek language before and after the change was familiar to Arabs.
As a result, Li Ning, Pu Yane and others finally established communication with this group of Greeks without even guessing.
Of course, since their spoken Greek is too low, their communication method is limited to: written conversation!
Of course, written conversations cannot be conducted with a brush - Ptolemy had never seen this thing before, so he had to find a sand table where children could learn calligraphy, put a knife on the necks of the captives, and chatted with them one by one.
Pang Ji stood not far away and watched, while Li Ning stood in front of him without saying a word, hoping to leave a good impression on him.
However, after the exchange or interrogation, the information obtained made Li Ning extremely depressed.
"It's really them!"
"Yes, Alexander from Linkas has confessed. They are the Macedonians we are most worried about."
Li Ning trembled when he heard this and couldn't help but look up to the sky and let out a long sigh!
Pang Ji felt bad, but he didn't rush to ask. This young man seems to be scheming, and it is not good to expose information too much.
But Li Ning could no longer care about him at this time. A powerful enemy was right in front of him. He was not limited to the people next door chasing him for thousands of miles. This matter had to be handled carefully.
So he asked: "Have you found out the identities of these people?"
"I have found out, they are all troublesome guys." Puiana swallowed, "In addition to Alexander, who has already confessed, there are two generals, one named Menelaus and the other named Ptolemy. These two are Brother, he is the son of Ragus.”
"It's really them?! I didn't expect that we actually defeated one of the best armies in human history!"
"What human history? Only dead people are called history, living people... You mean, the Macedonians we met are not the ones who lived in Byzantium, but the ones who conquered Persia 1,300 years ago of……"
Li Ning slowly turned around and uttered a name that the other party did not want to hear: "Alexander the Great!"
"Oh Allah, how could this happen?" Puyana obviously couldn't believe it, but his reason quickly allowed him to find more evidence - the fabrics of these people's clothes were too rough, and the manufacturing process of the weapons was too rough. in this way. This should actually be seen during the day. Perhaps Li Ning made his guess earlier through these observations.
However, there is still a question that needs to be answered urgently: "How did they get here?"
"We have to continue communicating to find out the truth." Li Ning replied with a sigh.
Puyane pursed his lips, turned and rushed to Alexander of Linkas, kicked him to the ground, and cursed in poor Greek that everyone present, including the Greeks, could not understand: "You You bastard, please explain how you got here right away?"
Alexander of Linkas was kicked to a pulp, and he couldn't help but beg for mercy.
Although he didn't know what the other person was asking, he knew what he should say.
The biggest secret was discovered not long ago, and even Ptolemy and Menelaus around them didn't know it. This is undoubtedly a good opportunity for him. After all, the other party may let him live because of his active cooperation.
Does this guy care about his own life? Yes, I care.
In the original history, he defected to Persia because he was afraid that Alexander the Great would liquidate Philip II's death.
Persia, on the other hand, was a country that could not bring defeat to it, but the enemy in front of them had just given them a defeat.
This was his confession logic, and it had been like this from the beginning, but he didn't directly say the most important thing.
But now, he knew it was impossible not to say anything. Obviously the other party has noticed the existence of the secret.
"I said. It's a light curtain. We came to you through it, not Asia Minor where we are going. Ptolemy and Menelaus said that the language here is very different from Asia Minor. It is clearly not where we are going. place. However, after Amyntas led the people back through the light curtain, they found that the other side was where we originally deployed our formation. And there were traces of the Persians fleeing in panic on the other side of the river. This proves that we... we I was indeed taken to another place by the light curtain!”
"You bastard!"
Others did not understand what Alexander said, but his compatriot Ptolemy knew very well that this guy had betrayed a secret that even he did not know. This is an unquestionable act of treason!
So, Ptolemy broke free from the dealer who was controlling him, rushed forward and gave him another hard kick.
Alexander, a Linkas man, flew out on the spot and was still unconscious when he landed.
Li Ning, who didn't understand, quickly stepped forward, choked the future Egyptian king from behind, then kicked Menelaus and said, "Go and write down his words."
As he spoke, he pointed in the direction of the sand table.
Menelaus, like everyone present, did not hear Li Ning's words at all.
But he realized what the other party meant and at the same time reacted as a soldier should.
He grinned, then shook his head in denial.
Li Ning was very satisfied with his performance, but at the same time he snatched the shovel from the banker next to him, turned around and knocked him to the ground.
After glancing at his masterpiece, he looked at the surrounding soldiers, but someone quickly smiled brighter, which made Li Ning have no choice but to say to Pu Yane: "Splash water on that loser just now!"
This time Li Ning spoke in Chinese, and the Greek soldiers couldn't understand it even more. But when the bankers approached Alexander with basins of water, all the prisoners realized something. They tried to break free like mad dogs, but the numerous guards quickly jumped in to suppress them. After a spade slap, the Macedonian warriors turned into cucumbers on the chopping board and collapsed to the ground.
"This is a tough bandit!"
Pang Ji couldn't help but comment.
With a snort, Li Ning couldn't help but respond: "They are an army! One of the best armies in history! Their military exploits are as outstanding as those of the Tiger and Wolf Army of Qin."
Pang Ji was stunned for a moment. This young man's attitude changed a little quickly, and why did he mention the Qin State thousands of years ago?
The answer was soon revealed.
As expected, Alexander from Linkas was awakened by cold water, and then wrote about the secret on the sand table.
Pu Yane was secretly frightened when he saw it, but before he could think about it, Pang Ji asked him, and he had no choice but to tell the truth.
"Light screen? What is that? It has such power that it can bring people thousands of miles away here?"
"This is time travel!" Li Ning, his colleague, immediately threw out the standard vocabulary and said to Puyana, "Ask him the name of the then Athenian consul. We have to make final confirmation."
Puyan did as he was told, and soon Alexander wrote the answer. Puyan called Li Ning to go over and take a look, but it was an unfamiliar name: "Ctesicleus."
Li Ning murmured for a moment, still a little unsure, so he had to say again: "Ask him how many years it has been since Xenophon died?"
Answer: "21 years."
"Ask again, where did they march into Asia Minor?"
Answer: "Granicas River."
"What month was it?"
"The month of Tartagthenon in the Athenian calendar."
Li Ning stroked his forehead: "That's right. The names of the three of them, plus the time of the Battle of Granikas, should be correct."
When Pang Ji saw that Li Ning had finally come to a conclusion, he hurriedly asked: "Sir, who are these people..."
"Executive members!" Li Ning said helplessly, "They did come from time travel 1,300 years ago and are not from our era."
There was another thunderous bang, and everyone present was shocked.
Even Li Ning was in a daze: "Is the power of that light curtain actually like this? Then I can see Emperor Qin, Han Wu, Tang Zong..."
At this time, Pang Ji finally understood why Li Ning mentioned Qin. But immediately his face turned pale - Li Ning just said that this is a tiger and wolf army that is no less than the Qin State, so isn't the Fujian Road he is in charge of facing the threat of this tiger and wolf army? This is intolerable! So he asked: "Who can defeat them?"
"I'm afraid no one can defeat them! The foundation they have laid exceeds 60% of the Qin Dynasty's territory."
Pang Ji was so frightened that his hands trembled, Mom, what kind of opponent is this!
The surrounding Arabs actually knew more details, so they fell into a denser fear.
They even began to regret fighting these people. But Puyana clearly realized that this group of people came back again and again, and the number of people increased, and they were traveling by water and land. No matter how you looked at it, they had ulterior motives.
Of course, some people thought they were here to consolidate friendship, but someone immediately pointed out that they were more likely to come to grab food.
The advantage of opening up people's wisdom is that everyone has their own opinions. Therefore, this group of Arabs, stimulated by their glorious century-old translation movement, has long since become a group of keyboard warriors without keyboards.
However, no matter how they guessed, the intelligence they later obtained fully proved that the two men sent by Alexander I were not well-intentioned at all.
However, since Alexander of Linkas had seen through that this was not Asia Minor, why didn't he tell his master and still followed the order to attack?
Is this guy at work with ulterior motives, or does Alexander the Great have a short-circuit in his mind and insist on causing extra problems on the way to conquer Persia?
He told Poiana his doubts, and the latter immediately went to torment the Linkas man.
Li Ning turned around and walked to Pang Ji, bowed and asked: "Mr. Chun, you were so negligent just now. I still hope to see Haihan."
"It's easy to talk. Sir, do you have any clever ideas to deal with this group of enemy troops coming through time?"
"I don't know the situation on Fujian Road, so I don't dare to speak nonsense. I would like to ask Chun Zhi to make it public. I will fill in the gaps and find a comprehensive strategy."
"What a great idea!" Pang Ji clapped his hands, but since it involved secrets, naturally he couldn't talk about it here, so the two of them walked out of the hall, walked behind a rockery, and discussed, "I recently purchased Xuan Yi Army archers in Fujian. Although The training has not been long, and Dan may be of use. All he needs to do is deliver a secret letter from me to Fuzhou, and Qianjia will lead his men to rescue Quanzhou."
"Archers are crucial. But we have to have infantry, heavy infantry with armor and helmets. The same kind as them, so that we can fight head-on. Then, we use archers to win. It's just about where to fight, and where to fight. If the place is suitable for an ambush, I'm afraid I'll have to trouble Lord Si to discuss it with you all."
Pang Ji knew that he felt that he was in a low position and it was inconvenient for him to get involved too much. This man's knowledge seemed to be extraordinary, so he immediately said: "Sir, you are being too modest. We don't know anything about bandit soldiers, and I'm afraid we will still bother you."
Li Ning lowered his head and took a look at his clothes. He expected that he was not old enough to accept the honorific title calmly, so he had to hand it over quickly: "How dare you? How dare you, but you have a destiny, don't you dare to die?"
Pang Ji was overjoyed and walked back to the hall with Li Ning holding hands.
But Li Ning was a little unhappy.
According to Pang Ji's wishes, the letters coming and going, plus the army's departure, would probably take ten days. In that case, Quanzhou City may be captured, and the surrounding villages may even be looted. By then, the manor where they live may be in danger of being overturned.
So after returning to the hall, Li Ning immediately told Pu Yane: "Prepare ships and take refuge at sea."
In fact, Puyane has already had this intention. I'm afraid there are more than ten thousand enemies coming, and it is impossible to defend just a small manor. Therefore, making early plans is what the question should mean.
But when he heard that the Song Dynasty army might not be able to come within ten days, he couldn't help but feel even more depressed.
"I knew this group of soldiers was bad, but I didn't expect it to be so ineffective. Do you know what their king thinks? He felt that we were deceiving him, so he beat us."
"What kind of logic is this? In the conscience of heaven and earth, we didn't lie to him!"
"Isn't that true? But his crony Amyntas said that he could find the road he walked. What does this prove? It proves that they are still in Asia Minor. So we lied to him, because what we did seemed to All prove that this is not Asia Minor.”
"But this is not the place to begin with... I understand, that idiot didn't notice the traveling effect of the light curtain at all."
"Yes, he told the soldiers that it was the protection given to him by his ancestor Achilles."
"Bless your ass, it's more of a lie. By the way, those people won't treat this place as Asia Minor and beat them up, right?"
"What do you think? They have already attacked Quanzhou City. Our poor little manor has not been spared. I'm afraid the entire Fujian Road will be in chaos."
Li Ning turned to look at Pang Ji, whose expression was extremely ugly.
"I'm afraid we can't afford the damage caused in ten days."
"What do you think we should do, sir?"
"Still according to the original plan. But we can't wait for Fuzhou's army. Also, tell the villagers not to reveal their wealth, so as to make the other party feel that this place is not worth their while."
"Okay!" Pang Ji immediately turned around and ordered, "Go to the surrounding Baojia Lizheng and convey your message to the teacher. Colleagues will go to Quanzhou to see if there are any forbidden troops for food. Xiang troops are stationed there. If they find local soldiers, they will also be sent to them." Come here. Just say I am here!"
All the servants said "hey" in unison and went their separate ways.
After they had run a certain distance, Pang Ji's instructions came from behind: "Let them wear armor and dress smarter. We must let that Macedonian know that our Song Dynasty also plays tricks on infantry phalanxes." .And we also have archers, very important archers!”
