„Theonia defeats Carthage, forces its signing ceasefire agreement” the news to spread over Kingdom of Theonia, each region people scene of jubilation. “戴奥尼亚击败迦太基、迫使其签订停战协议”的消息传遍戴奥尼亚王国,各地民众一片欢腾。 But shortly, this news also passed to Greece, making many city-state be shocked, particularly Sparta. 而不久后,这消息也传到了希腊本土,让很多城邦感到震惊,尤其是斯巴达。 Once in Theonia fell into under the dangerous situation that the influence besieged in every way, Sparta also attempted to pervert in secret, instigates the Apulia area to escape the influence on recapture oneself once territory, but now Theonia by one's effort, eliminates Rome neatly, surrendered Samnium, to defeat Carthage, indisputable became the western Mediterranean strongest influence. 曾经在戴奥尼亚陷入多方势力围攻的危险局面下,斯巴达还暗中做手脚,唆使阿普利亚地区逃亡势力去夺回自己曾经的领地,而现在戴奥尼亚凭借一己之力,干净利落的消灭了罗马,降服了萨莫奈、战败了迦太基,无可争议的成为西地中海最强大的势力。 But Sparta is to fall into the quagmire of wear now on the contrary, cannot open up the perspective in Greece, the Sparta elders of having a guilty conscience was worried before , own actions cannot hide the truth from the Kingdom of Theonia man of insight, if Theonia gets angry and to Sparta want the justice at this time suddenly, without doubt will make the situation worse. 而斯巴达现在反倒是陷入战争泥潭,在中希腊迟迟打不开局面,做贼心虚的斯巴达长老们担心之前自己的所作所为瞒不过戴奥尼亚王国的有识之士,如果此时戴奥尼亚突然翻脸、要向斯巴达讨回公道的话,无疑会让局势变得更加糟糕。 Therefore, Sparta hurries to send out the envoy, goes to Thurii, congratulated Theonia to win the war with Carthage among the name of ally, meanwhile exploratory statement requirements: Hopes Theonia can provide some aid for Sparta in war. 所以,斯巴达慌忙派出使者,前往图里伊,以友邦之名祝贺戴奥尼亚赢得了与迦太基之间的战争,同时还试探性的提出要求:希望戴奥尼亚能够为战争中的斯巴达提供一些援助。 Davos completely understood early the purpose in coming of Sparta person, he has not torn to pieces the facial skin with the Sparta person, accuses it these dirty matters that does during west Mediterranean war, has not complied with the Sparta person's request, but is the tactful expression: Theonia won the war, but after the war, rebuilds one's homeland and reorganizes the orders and comforting people, to restore the trade...... wait/etc a series of thorny business also to need the kingdom to work as one up and down, tries hard together, can gradually resume the pre-war prosperity, therefore does not have the energy and time cares about the business of other country. 戴弗斯早看透了斯巴达人的来意,他既没有和斯巴达人撕破脸皮,指责其在西地中海战争期间所做的那些龌龊事,也没有答应斯巴达人的请求,而是委婉的表示:戴奥尼亚是赢得了战争,但战争之后重建家园、整顿秩序、安抚民众、恢复贸易……等等一系列棘手的事务还需要王国上下同心协力,共同努力,才能逐渐恢复战前的繁荣,因此没有精力和时间去关心他国的事务。 Sparta felt relieved temporarily. 斯巴达暂时放下心来。 Davos also responded to later the Athens envoy who comes to seek help with the similar words. 戴弗斯又用相似的话语回应了随后前来求助的雅典使者。 As for the Thebes person, they are also in sieging of Sparta army at this time, runs about to deal with various attacks, is not quite clear and also does not have to the important matter of west Mediterranean the energy to understand. 至于底比斯人,此时他们还处于斯巴达军队的围困之中,疲于应付各种进攻,对西地中海发生的大事不太清楚、同时也没有精力去了解。 Although Davos gave a Sparta grain of reassuring medicine, but Spartan’s Gerousia felt the urgency of situation, they are discontented in Sparta Wang Ke lie Aum Bro Tus go on an expedition, actually unable to make the progress for a long time, finally the decision begins using more resourceful more and decisive Agesilaus to be the army commanders again. 戴弗斯虽然给了斯巴达一粒定心丸,但斯巴达长老议事会还是感到了局势的紧迫,他们不满于斯巴达王克列奥姆布洛图斯长时间征战、却未能取得进展,终于决定再一次启用更多谋善断的阿格西劳斯担任全军指挥官。 Agesilaus accepts generously, and declared: Since the elders and people think that he is the optiman, he settledly whole-heartedly! 阿格西劳斯慨然接受,并且宣称:既然长老和民众们认为他是最佳人选,他本人定当全力以赴！ He commands the army to go to the Sparta border to offer sacrifices, and demonstrates to the soldiers for the good omen, therefore the army is high-spirited. 他率军前往斯巴达的边境进行献祭,并向士兵们展示为吉兆,于是全军士气高昂。 Because has the large army defense of Thebes with the mountain ridge of Corinth isthmus neighboring Piaoxia area south edge, in addition Athens collaborates with Thebes, therefore surmounts the mountain ridge, to enter the Piaoxia area through the land route from the Corinth isthmus, not only path difficult line, but also is high-risk. 由于与科林斯地峡相邻的皮奥夏地区南部边缘的山岭地带有底比斯的重兵防御,再加上雅典又与底比斯联手,因此通过陆路从科林斯地峡翻越山岭、进入皮奥夏地区,不但道路难行,而且充满危险。 Agesilaus leads the army to accelerate to march, arrives not far the Xiji Wengcheng harbor after Corinth, goes by boat to stretch across the Corinth bay, beach landing in Piaoxia area. Because he has sent people to inform in a Sparta army that this/should area guards first to attack and occupy the distance beforehand to land not a far mountain ridge pass, therefore the army does not have the hindrance crossed the mountain ridge, enters to the down country of Piaoxia area, and rapid with supporting Sparta peaceful Spis( this/should city is located the Thebes west , be only 20 li (0.5 km)) collaborate. 阿格西劳斯率领军队加速行军,到达在科林斯西面不远的西吉翁城港口后,乘船横跨科林斯海湾,在皮奥夏地区的海滩登陆。由于事先他已经派人通知在该地区驻守的一支斯巴达军队抢先攻占了距离登陆地不远的一座山岭隘口,所以全军没有阻碍的翻过了山岭,进入到皮奥夏地区的平原地带,并且迅速同支持斯巴达的泰斯皮亚(该城位于底比斯的西面,相距只有20里)联起手来。 Agesilaus thinks own quick military action can disrupt the recovery deploy of Thebes person, finally he discovered that the Thebes person and its ally wanted the ground to cultivate/repair the stockade and earthen rampart in the Thebes city peripheral all strategies, construct the trench, to arrange the abati...... 原本阿格西劳斯认为自己快捷的军事行动会打乱底比斯人的防御部署,结果他发现底比斯人和其盟友在底比斯城周边的所有战略要地上都修起了栅栏和土垒、建造了壕沟、布置了鹿砦…… If the Sparta army wants to approach the Thebes city, must attack and capture 11 these important places, but Thebes army not no matter what it acts, where Agesilaus commands the army to attack, Thebes will send to guard there with large army. 斯巴达军队要想逼近底比斯城,就必须将一一这些要地攻克,而底比斯军队也不会任其施为,阿格西劳斯率军进攻哪里,底比斯就会派重兵驻守那里。 Because Thebes operates on interior lines, the reassignment military is more flexible fast, and Thebes army will not cling to tenaciously, they will also attack at the right moment, the attack was separated from the large unit or is eating meal the Sparta allied armies soldier of rest...... this series of defensive strategies mainly to stem from reach the hand densely thickly, makes Agesilaus deeply feel the headache very much, six months expedition cannot make the breakthrough progress. 由于底比斯是内线作战,调动兵力更为灵活快速,并且底比斯军队不会只是死守,他们也会适时出击,攻击脱离了大部队或者正在吃饭休息的斯巴达联军士兵……这一系列的防御策略主要出自伊帕密浓达之手,很让阿格西劳斯深感头痛,半年时间的征战也未能取得突破性进展。 By the autumn, the soldiers in Sparta allied country returned to the hometown in abundance, Agesilaus must lead the Sparta soldier to return to homeland, therefore he appoints Pharacidas to lead the mercenaries to remain behind the safe Spis subzone, and waits for an opportunity to attack Thebes. 到了秋季,斯巴达盟邦的士兵们纷纷返回家乡,阿格西劳斯也要率领斯巴达战士回国,于是他任命菲比达斯带领雇佣兵们留守泰斯皮亚地区,并伺机进攻底比斯。 Was adopted a more vicious strategy by Pharacidas of Thebes person hatred extremely, he sends out many small stock armies, bypasses the defense important place of Thebes person, slaughters hides in his rear Thebes people, continuously destroys Kida place...... 被底比斯人极度痛恨的菲比达斯采取了更加狠毒的策略,他派出多支小股部队,绕过底比斯人的防御要地,杀戮躲在其后方的底比斯民众,不断破坏其田地…… The Thebes person is quite angry, they do not attend to dissuading that reaches densely thickly, sets out the army rashly, attacks safe Spis. 底比斯人对此极为愤怒,他们不顾伊帕密浓达的劝阻,贸然出动军队,进攻泰斯皮亚。 Finally Pharacidas is prepared early, his targeted conducts formation, repelled the attack of Thebes army in the battle. In order to exploit victory, tempers the strength of Thebes person, he commands the army the hot pursuit routed troop personally, finally the cavalries and some infantries of Thebes person cannot choose the exact way because of flurry, escape in the canyon that is unable to pass. 结果菲比达斯早有准备,他有针对性的进行列阵,在会战中击退了底比斯军队的进攻。为了扩大战果,削弱底比斯人的力量,他亲自率军猛追溃兵,结果底比斯人的骑兵和一些步兵慌不择路,逃到了一条无法通过的峡谷里。 The Thebes routed troop of having no way out instead gathers, a decision at risk of life war, because at this time the pursuit speed is too fast, caused heavy infantry distant falling of safe Spis in behind, only then Pharacidas and several hundred Thrace peltasts kept off in the front of Thebes cavalry. 走投无路的底比斯溃兵反而集合起来、决定拼死一战,而此时由于追击速度太快,导致泰斯皮亚的重步兵远远的落在了后面,只有菲比达斯和几百名色雷斯轻盾兵挡在了底比斯骑兵的面前。 Matter happened extremely suddenly, Pharacidas just let these Thrace mercenaries arrange in order the battle formation recklessly, the Thebes cavalry from the upfront initiate the charge, over a hundred warhorses run the imposing manner of having to be without doubt fearful. 事情发生得太过突然,菲比达斯刚刚让这些色雷斯雇佣兵们列好阵势,底比斯骑兵就不顾一切的从正面发起了冲锋,上百匹战马奔跑起来所产生的气势无疑是可怕的。 After long-distance had run and very exhausted Thracian dread, but also without and other Thebes cavalries to the front, Thracian has started to retreat. 经过长途奔跑、已经非常疲惫的色雷斯人畏惧了,还没等底比斯骑兵冲至面前,色雷斯人就已经开始溃退。 The Thebes army makes use to fiercely attack, the Thrace mercenaries retreat on all fronts, Pharacidas mixes in the routed troop, attempts to escape. 底比斯军队趁势猛攻,色雷斯雇佣兵全线溃退,菲比达斯混在溃兵中,企图逃脱。 But how the Thebes cavalry will make him escape, has been fixing the eyes on him, quick its surrounding, and chaotic lance assassinates. Then they drive away the routed troop to the peaceful Spis heavy infantry who catches up with randomly later, the Sparta allied armies rout. 但底比斯骑兵怎会让他逃脱,一直紧盯着他,很快就将其包围,并乱矛刺死。接着他们又驱赶溃兵冲乱随后赶来的泰斯皮亚重步兵,斯巴达联军大败。 The Thebes army pursues the darkness, withdraws troops to return to the camp. 底比斯军队追击到天黑,才收兵回营。 This war, after the Thebes person first defeats wins, not only kills Enemy Pharacidas who they most hated, but also weakened the Thebes intimate trouble- the safe Spis strength, the Thebes people cheer, makes other be excited by Piaoxia city-state people of Sparta control. 这一战,底比斯人先败后胜,不但杀死了他们最痛恨的敌人-菲比达斯,而且还削弱了底比斯的腹心之患-泰斯皮亚的实力,底比斯民众为之欢呼,也让其他被斯巴达控制的皮奥夏城邦民众感到振奋。 Taking advantage of this favorable opportunity, Thebes even sends out the army again, attacks safe Spis on own initiative and periphery attached in Sparta city-state, forcing Sparta has to send out an army in the winter , helping defend safe Spis. 借此有利时机,底比斯甚至再次派出军队,主动进攻泰斯皮亚及其周围附属于斯巴达的城邦,迫使斯巴达不得不在冬季派出一支军队,帮助防御泰斯皮亚。 The second year early spring( in 377 B. C., the Kingdom of Theonia 17 years), Spartan’s Gerousia and supervisory officers appointed Agesilaus again are the coalition commanders. 第二年初春(公元前377年,戴奥尼亚王国17年),斯巴达长老议事会和监察官们再一次任命阿格西劳斯为联军指挥官。 This Agesilaus uses diversionary tactics, leading the army to take the land route, the rapid march through the Corinth isthmus, lacks the protection in while the Thebes person the situation, exceeds them in mountain ridge line of defense, storms into east of the Thebes city area, takes Platia as the base, trampled on without restraint this lands, although also achieved some success, but the resistance of Thebes person was still very tenacious, enabling the Sparta army to make the unprecedented progress. 这一次阿格西劳斯声东击西,率领军队走陆路,急行军通过科林斯地峡,趁着底比斯人缺乏防备的情况下,一举突破他们在山岭的防线,攻入底比斯城以东的地区,以普拉蒂亚为基地,大肆蹂躏了这一片土地,虽然也获得了一些胜利,但底比斯人的抵抗仍然十分顽强,使斯巴达军队未能获得突破性的进展。 By the autumn, Agesilaus has to withdraw troops again returning to homeland. 到了秋季,阿格西劳斯不得不再次收兵回国。 At this time, Thebes had the grain extreme shortages, because of the destruction of war, their lands two years had had no harvest at all, the Thebes person in the history of previous generation is sends the fleet to arrive at the grain that the northern Thessaly cities purchased, but this Pelopidas proposed: Buys the grain to Adriatic Sea sea opposite Kingdom of Theonia. 这个时候,底比斯出现了粮食严重短缺的状况,因为战争的破坏,他们的土地已经两年颗粒无收了,在前世的历史中底比斯人是派船队到北部的塞萨利城镇去购买的粮食,但是这一次佩罗皮达斯却提议:到亚得里亚海海对面的戴奥尼亚王国去买粮。 Some people raised the objection, thinks: Theonia and Sparta have signed the friendly agreement, relates closely, Theonia is impossible to buy the grain to give Thebes. 有人提出异议,认为:戴奥尼亚和斯巴达一直签署着友好协议,相互之间关系密切,戴奥尼亚不可能买粮给底比斯。 The reply of Pelopidas is: Is away from, journey to be very convenient in any case near, tries also no at the worst. But once succeeded, we not only opened the new buying grain channel, but also found out the attitude of Theonian to this war, the significance is great! 佩罗皮达斯的回答是:反正距离近、路途很方便,试一试也没什么大不了的。可一旦成功了,我们不但开辟了新的购粮渠道,而且还探得了戴奥尼亚人对这场战争的态度,意义非常重大！ Finally the suggestion of Pelopidas has been passed, Thebes sent out three three oar battleships, carries 10 Talent, when the naval blockade of winter Sparta person resting soldier and Corinth bay is lax, takes risk to drive out of the Corinth bay, crosses Adriatic Sea, arrived in the Port city Hodrum of Kingdom of Theonia east coast. 最终佩罗皮达斯的建议得到通过,底比斯派出了三艘三层桨战舰,携带十个塔连特,趁着冬季斯巴达人歇兵、科林斯海湾的海上封锁松懈之际,冒险驶出科林斯海湾,横穿亚得里亚海,到达了戴奥尼亚王国东海岸的港口城市-奥德鲁姆。 The Hodrum chief executive heard that the Thebes person comes to buy the grain, the political significance that considering that its behind contains, where dares to make a decision without authorization, immediately sends the messenger to rush to the Thurii instruction. 奥德鲁姆行政长官听说底比斯人前来买粮,考虑到其背后所包含的政治意义,哪敢擅作主张,立刻派信使赶往图里伊请示。 After Davos knows, with words that seems like the joke tune to this matter: „The Sparta people can let Apulia's escape member to our domestic tourism, why we cannot render the Thebes person small assistance, let alone this is only an ordinary business behavior.” 戴弗斯知道后,用一句看似玩笑的话给此事定了调:“斯巴达人都能让阿普里亚的逃亡分子到我们国内旅游,我们为什么不能给予底比斯人一点小小的帮助,更何况这只是一个普通的商贸行为。” Therefore, Hodrum city not only sold to Thebes the grain at the low price, but also sends out the freighter help to transport. 因此,奥德鲁姆城不但以低价将粮食卖给底比斯,而且还派出货船帮助运送。 In fact the Sparta fleet obtains „the Thebes person to send the fleet goes out to buy grain” the news, they have completed the arrangement, when other Thebes fleets return to the Corinth bay, its capture. 实际上斯巴达舰队已经得到“底比斯人派船队出外买粮”的消息,他们已经做好布置,就等底比斯船队返回科林斯湾时,将其捕获。 Finally when the Sparta fleet crew sees in the Thebes fleet on that several ship's sails to diagram the ships of Kingdom of Theonia flag, does not dare to act rashly, helplessly looks that the Thebes ship piles in northern Gulf lands, unloaded the cargo at a moderate pace. 结果当斯巴达舰队船员看到底比斯船队中那几首船帆上绘有戴奥尼亚王国旗帜的船只,愣没敢轻举妄动,眼睁睁的看着底比斯船堆在海湾北面登陆,不紧不慢的卸下了货物。 Afterward, the Sparta fleet commands to hurry this matter to return to Sparta, the elder powwow and supervisory officers shocks, quickly sends out the envoy to go to Thurii. 事后,斯巴达舰队统领慌忙将此事回报给斯巴达,长老议事会和监察官们都大为震惊,急忙派出使者前往图里伊。 Davos has not acted, council rotating president Androlis received the envoy, original words superficial response that facing Sparta person's interrogation, his by king: „This is only ordinary commercial and trade activities, should not make a fuss about nothing.” 戴弗斯根本就没出面,元老院轮值主席安塔奥里斯接见了使者,面对斯巴达人的质问,他以国王的原话轻描淡写的回应:“这只是一个普通的商贸活动,不值得大惊小怪。”
