Death of Cyrus

In his last battle, Cyrus aimed to suppress the Iranian people of Scythian descent, who were killing and looting by attacking the border regions of Iran.. He moved towards the northeast of the country, between the border of Iran and the land of the Scythians, there was a river that Koresh's troops had to cross.. When Koresh reached this river, the queen of the Scythians sent him a message that he had two ways to fight.. Either cross the river and fight in the land of the Scythians, or allow the Scythian armies to cross the river and fight in Iran.. Koresh shared these two proposals with his generals. Most of his Persian generals chose to fight on Iranian soil, but Croesus, the former emperor of Lydia, who remained loyal to Cyrus as an advisor until the end of his life, suggested fighting on Scythian soil.. Hearing his argument, Cyrus agreed and crossed the river. The result of this battle was the death of Cyrus and the defeat of his troops. After this defeat, the Iranian troops returned to Iran under the leadership of Kambojie, the eldest son of Cyrus.
