After the final division, only more than 60% of the new territory truly belongs to Stoby!
More than 30% of the land was divided up by Xia Zhe.
However, the Prime Minister and the other three did not feel that they were at a disadvantage due to this small loss of territory.
Because the places Xia Zhe marked out were all not-so-good places.
Either the area is surrounded by mountains and its development is restricted, or the area is densely populated and difficult to pass through, or it is too open and easy to attack but difficult to defend.
Moreover, without exception, they are all places that directly border Macedonia!
Giving these places to the allies was equivalent to adding a large buffer zone between Stobia and Macedonia.
And it is also a buffer zone for the alliance with Stoby!
In this way, Stoby's defensive ability is also greatly improved!
In fact, the truly fertile part of the newly occupied land is still in Stoby's hands.
After the announcement of this division plan, it once again triggered a new round of enthusiasm among the allies for King Stoby!
The kings of the city-states had already given up their territorial claims, but they never expected that King Stobi would not keep the territory to himself!
Stoby is still thinking about these little brothers!
No matter how small the land is, it is still territory!
The allied countries that received land were all grateful to Stoby.
They sent their elite troops to garrison the newly acquired territories!
For every king, being able to expand the territory during his reign, and occupying the territory of Macedonia, a first-class power, is definitely a great achievement that will be recorded in history!
Especially the six small city-states in the east!
In this battle, their army did not join forces with the Stobi army, but was always cooperating with the Metonian defense.
The six kings were initially a bit depressed, frustrated by their geographical location. As long as they weren't implicated by Methonian, they'd be lucky!
Unexpectedly, Xia Zhe attached great importance to the six city-states in the East!
In order to protect the future capital, Xia Zhe gave them the most and richest land!
Having reaped the greatest benefits, the kings of the six city-states were extremely excited!
They all set off overnight and rushed to the city of Stobi to meet King Stobi to show their loyalty!
Xia Zhe was flattered by this unprecedented courtesy and could only try his best to remain calm.
What surprised Xia Zhe the most were those city-states that were originally far away from Macedonia and could not be managed even if the land was allocated to them.
For example, the Five Cities of Dalmatians!
They declined Xia Zhe's most-favored-nation treatment and asked for nothing, only asking Stoby to provide a letter of authorization.
Authorize them as vassal states of Stobi and declare war on city-states that oppose Stobi!
This request was quite strange, and Xia Zhe was confused.
Now, isn’t Macedonia the only enemy of my Stobi?
Authorizing you to declare war on Macedonia is to help me share the pressure, of course!
However, they did not expect that just a few days after receiving the authorization letter, those dozen distant countries joined forces to send troops, destroyed the five small city-states nearby, and divided up their territories.
The reason is very plausible.
——Let the city-state that deceived King Stobi pay the price!
After careful inquiry, Xia Zhe finally understood.
It turned out that those five small city-states were the only ones that did not send troops in the battle to capture Thessaloniki!
They were not optimistic that Stobi could win, so they chose to protect themselves and not provoke Macedonia!
He had already joined the alliance, but when the order came, he actually became a coward!
After the victory of the decisive battle, a group of distant allies had long been dissatisfied with them!
Now we can see that the allies close to Macedonia have benefited.
After everyone discussed it, they immediately came up with this method: to take land from those five small city-states in the name of King Stobi!
After understanding all this, Xia Zhe was quite helpless.
never mind!
Anyway, those five city-states that are difficult to tame will be a hidden danger if they stay in the alliance, so it’s better to split them up!
At least, after a big battle, everyone can get something sweet!
Everyone is happy!
Seeing that the suzerain country turned a blind eye, the dozen or so countries that benefited from it hurriedly gave gifts to Stoby.
It not only compensates the nearby land and population, but also donates various precious resources!
Count to the end.
In the war of annihilation among the five nations, the one who gained the most was still Stobi!
All of this was seen by the dormant Alexander.
Admiration for King Stoby arises spontaneously.
Alexander understood that the Great Northern Alliance had gained the upper hand, and Macedonia had no choice but to lay low.
You can only take action when major changes occur.
And this big change, Alexander believes, will come soon.
at the same time.
Chalcis, the capital of Eubia.
As a country founded on maritime trade, Eubia has strong economic strength.
Relying on the charm of money, King Ramsa of Euboea unified the vast Euboean Islands very early!
In the magnificent palace, Ramza was listening to the report from his subjects.
"Report to my king! According to reliable information, Aristotle has left the north and arrived at my Euboean Islands a few days ago. But strangely, he has changed his previous flamboyant behavior and chose to live in seclusion!" said General Hippias.
"Of course he has to live in seclusion! This old guy thought he was so great that he called on 200,000 believers to go north to join the war. In the end, he was completely defeated! Now, I'm afraid he doesn't have the face to go back to Athens!" Ramza laughed.
Always worried about Macedonia's southward advance, Ramsa never stopped investigating the situation in the Great North.
After the death of the great ruler Philip, Macedonia was defeated by a coalition of small city-states.
