What is relaxed is safe Magrath, the opportunity and Sparta that envoy he not only the use goes abroad on a diplomatic mission achieved in certain aspects consistently, before completing just before leaving, Callistratus to his commission, but also obtained not the poor wealth, this initial harvest is many, will increase him the influence in Athens people. 心情最为放松的是泰玛戈拉斯,他不但利用出使的机会和斯巴达使者在某些方面达成了一致,完成了临行前卡利斯特拉图斯对他的嘱托,而且还获得了不菲的财富,这一次的初始收获颇丰,将会增大他在雅典民众中的影响力。 Who knows to be contrary to what expects, returns to shortly after Athens, safe Magrath by the people are reported that said „he receives the bribe in Persia, betrays the Athens secret, betrayed city-state......”. In addition, in the Athens city also many rumors, were mainly said that „he was dreadful in the Babylon manner, was inferior Thebes Pelopidas performed well, received despising of Persians, lost the face of Athenians simply”...... 谁知事与愿违,回到雅典后不久,泰玛戈拉斯就被民众举报,说“他在波斯收受贿赂,出卖雅典的机密,背叛了城邦……”。此外,雅典城内也有不少流言,主要是说“他在巴比伦行为举止猥琐,不如底比斯的佩罗皮达斯表现优异,受到波斯人的鄙夷,简直是丢了雅典人的脸”…… Shortly , the Athens government tries safe Magrath, although he argued for himself vigorously, but also hired very good attorney, however the most citizens of jury think him to be guilty, finally he was sentenced to the death penalty. 没多久,雅典政府就对泰玛戈拉斯进行审判,尽管他极力为自己辩解,还请了很好的律师,但是陪审团的大多数公民还是认为他有罪,最终他被判处死刑。 But after Ruddick returns to Sparta, the strong request that Persians set also aroused very big mighty waves in Sparta. 而卢提克利返回斯巴达之后,波斯人所提出的强硬要求也在斯巴达激起了很大的波澜。 Always compares the Agesilaus vigorous opposition of attention to Theonia, he reminded loudly: „ After Theonia defeated Carthage, the national strength becomes more powerful, poses very big threat to our Sparta, has existence of friendly agreement luckily, in addition this kingdom always flaunts to observe the commitment, even if we had done some not good matter during the agreement to it, it also still has been staying the peace to Sparta. 对戴奥尼亚一向比较关注的阿格西劳斯强烈反对,他大声提醒道:“戴奥尼亚战胜了迦太基之后,国力变得更加强大,已经对我们斯巴达构成了很大的威胁,幸好有友好协议的存在,再加上这个王国一向标榜信守承诺,所以即使是我们曾经在协议期间对其做过一些不好的事,它依然还一直对斯巴达保持着和平状态。 But now we actually must cancel the agreement on own initiative, happen to gave the opposite party the pretext, once Theonia sends the army to get involved in this war, definitely will be coping with the Thebes Sparta army to bring the disaster full power! ” 而现在我们却要主动取消协议,正好给了对方口实,一旦戴奥尼亚派军队介入这场战争,必然会给正在全力对付底比斯的斯巴达军队带来灾难！” Another Sparta Wang Ke Leo Mbu Rotouss stands, the firm support meets the request of Persians, his reason is also compelling: „ This war continues now, our Sparta has somewhat been hard to continue, if different Theonia cut off the contact, we cannot have the support of Persia, if Persian king, then supports our enemy Thebes as he said that then Sparta faces the defeated huge danger. If cancels with the Theonia friendly agreement, we will obtain Persia fully supports, then we like the Corinth war, not only will end this war quickly, will also become the overlord in Greece. 另一位斯巴达王克利奥姆布罗图斯则站出来,坚决支持满足波斯人的要求,他的理由同样充分:“这一场战争持续到现在,我们斯巴达已经有些难以为续,如果不同戴奥尼亚断绝往来,我们就得不到波斯的支持,而如果波斯王真象他所说的,转而支持我们的敌人底比斯,那么斯巴达就面临被击败的巨大危险。而如果取消与戴奥尼亚的友好协议,我们却将得到波斯的全力支持,那么我们会像科林斯战争一样,不但会很快结束这场战争,而且会重新成为希腊的霸主。 By that time, even if Theonia declares war to us, we can still convene the strength of entire Greece to resist with it. Let alone these so threatens us to cut off the communication from Persia with Theonia time anxiously the situation looks like, Persian king is hostile to Theonia, he decides however meets fully supports we and Theonia makes war. We happen to can rely on this advantageous aspect, defeats Theonian, completely solves this to let our heavyhearted hidden dangers. ” 到那时,即使戴奥尼亚向我们宣战,我们也可以召集整个希腊的力量与之对抗。更何况从波斯这一次如此急切地威胁我们同戴奥尼亚断绝来往的情况看来,波斯王对戴奥尼亚是敌视的,他定然会全力支持我们与戴奥尼亚开战。我们正好可以凭借这一个有利的局面,击败戴奥尼亚人,彻底解决掉这一个一直让我们忧心忡忡的隐患。” „It is said Theonia in the war with Carthage sent out 100,000 armies, Peloponnese to be away from narrow Adriatic Sea from Theonia, once the friendly agreement relieved, Theonia really declared war to our Sparta, these 100,000 armies might land Peloponnese, how when the time comes should we deal?” Teacher Agassi serious asking. “据说戴奥尼亚在与迦太基的战争中派出了10万大军,伯罗奔尼撒距离戴奥尼亚就隔着一个狭窄的亚得里亚海,一旦友好协议解除,戴奥尼亚真的对我们斯巴达宣战,这10万大军很可能就会登陆伯罗奔尼撒,到时候我们该怎么应对？”阿格西老师神情严肃的问道。 When present Corio Mbu Rotouss does not have to be pushed up the throne terrified and immaturity initially in a hurry, he replied calmly: „ Don't forget, Dionysius had also led 100,000 armies in the past, attacks Sicily western Carthaginians. But we know actually, he truly powerful on that tens of thousands mercenaries, do you dare to say Theonia these 100,000 armies elite?! I look not necessarily. 如今的克利奥姆布罗图斯早已没有了当初匆匆被推上王位之时的惶恐和稚嫩,他冷静的回答道:“别忘了,当年狄奥尼修斯也率领过10万大军,进攻西西里西部的迦太基人。但实际我们都知道,他真正具有战斗力的就那几万雇佣兵,你敢说戴奥尼亚的这10万大军都是精锐吗？！我看未必。 On the contrary is we achieves the contract after various Greek city-state, if Theonia really dares to deploy the army to land Peloponnese, we happen to can summon that various Greek city-state resist the invasion of Theonia this outcomer together, forms an army with the help of Persians, defeats it, not only thorough solution Sparta concealed worry until now, but can also enhance the influence of Sparta in Greece. ” 反倒是我们与希腊各城邦重新达成合约之后,如果戴奥尼亚真的敢派遣军队登陆伯罗奔尼撒,我们正好可以号召希腊各城邦一起抵御戴奥尼亚这个外来者的入侵,在波斯人的帮助下组建起一支大军,将其击败,不但彻底的解决斯巴达一直以来的隐忧,而且可以重新提升斯巴达在希腊的影响力。” Agesilaus is frowning, reminds: „Theonia since establishment, they have gone through the war has not suffered the failure, even if their armies all are not elite, the battle efficiency absolutely is not weak. Moreover they stem from the army of same country, but even if we can summon that each city-state forms an army, this army is still inferior to them to unite inevitably, does not help direction-” 阿格西劳斯皱着眉头,提醒道:“戴奥尼亚自从建立以来,他们所经历过的战争就没有遭遇过失败,他们的军队即使不全是精锐,战斗力也绝对不弱。而且他们是出自同一个国家的军队,而我们即使能够号召各个城邦组建起一支大军,这次军队也必然不如他们团结,不利于指挥-” „Respectable Agesilaus!” Corio Mbu Rotouss sneers suddenly: „These years our Sparta which time does not direct other city-state allied armies to battle with the enemy, and wins many lost/carrying few, this is the ability that our Sparta general must have! More than 10 years ago you even also direct the Asia Minor person to battle with Persia, how saying that now on the contrary we do that are incorrect!” “令人尊敬的阿格西劳斯！”克利奥姆布罗图斯突然冷笑一声:“这些年我们斯巴达哪一次不是指挥其他城邦的联军同敌人作战,并且胜多负少,这本就是我们斯巴达将领必须具备的才能！十多年前你甚至还指挥过小亚细亚人同波斯作战,怎么现在反倒说我们这么做是不对的！” Has not waited for Agesilaus to respond, Corio Mbu Rotouss looks all around, enhances the volume suddenly, said loudly: „The so-called Theonia army is ever-victorious, that is because they have not met our Sparta! Everyone still remembers, in signs the friendly agreement before Theonia for the first time, these that King Theonia said threaten our words! These years he in the Adriatic Sea West bank is peeping at us like a poisonous snake, making us nervous, does not dare to idle, now perhaps to this/should solution this issue time! Fellow the elders and supervisory officers of wisdom, Sparta whether to go through this difficulty, looked at your resolutions!” 没等阿格西劳斯回应,克利奥姆布罗图斯环顾四周,骤然提高音量,大声说道:“所谓戴奥尼亚军队百战百胜,那是因为他们没有遇到我们斯巴达！大家还记得在第一次同戴奥尼亚签订友好协议之前,那位戴奥尼亚国王所说的那些威胁我们的话吧！这些年他就像一条毒蛇一样在亚得里亚海的西岸窥视着我们,让我们一直提心吊胆、不敢懈怠,现在或许就是到了该解决这个问题的时候了！各位睿智的长老和监察官们,斯巴达能否度过这个难关,就看你们的决断了！” Agesilaus looks that central gives the speech in the conference site fervently Corio Mbu Rotouss, does not know why in the mind actually appears for more than 20 years ago similarly is through defeats nephew Leotychides, to capture the throne here incontrovertibly that. 阿格西劳斯看着在会场中央慷慨激昂发表演讲的克利奥姆布罗图斯,不知为何脑海中却浮现20多年前同样是在这里自己通过雄辩击败侄子列奥提齐德斯、夺得王位的那一幕。 But now the old, weak, sick, and disabled, really doesn't the courage even have?...... Agesilaus hesitated: Breaks diplomatic relation with Theonia, offends Theonia, may produce the war ; However does not break diplomatic relation, will offend Persia, it will then support Thebes, the current war not only will not stop, will also become more difficult...... this is a difficult choice. 而如今自己老弱病残,难道真的连勇气也没了？……阿格西劳斯犹豫了:与戴奥尼亚断交,得罪戴奥尼亚,可能会引发战争;但是不断交,又会得罪波斯,它会转而支持底比斯,目前的这场战争不但不会停止,而且将会变得更加困难……这是一个两难的抉择。 Agesilaus grew opening mouth, finally has not refuted. 阿格西劳斯长了张嘴,最终没有反驳。 Then these 30 Sparta elders( including two kings) on „whether cancels with the Theonia friendly agreement” the incident votes. These years 60 Sparta aristocrat life experiences are perhaps rich, but mostly conservative, all things only strove for safely, because Theonia was freely nearer from Peloponnese, but has actually never stepped in Greece, on the contrary was Persia a thousand-mile away is actually exerting the influence on Greece, Peloponnesian War, the Corinth war, the help of Persia to Sparta was giant, but these elders without doubt were experiencing of these wars, deeply had the feeling. 接着这30名斯巴达长老(包括两位国王)就“是否取消与戴奥尼亚的友好协议”一事进行表决。这些年过60的斯巴达贵族或许人生经验丰富,但大多性格保守,万事只求稳妥,由于戴奥尼亚尽管距离伯罗奔尼撒更近、但却从未涉足过希腊本土,相反是远在千里之外的波斯却始终在对希腊施加着影响,无论是伯罗奔尼撒战争、还是科林斯战争,波斯对斯巴达的帮助都是巨大的,而这些长老无疑都是这些战争的亲历者,都深有感受。 But the final voting result is 20 : 20, is actually the influence of Agesilaus played very major role, compares still does not have Corio Mbu Rotouss of excellent performance militarily, many elders like to believe full of wisdom, prestigious Agesilaus. 但最终的表决结果是20:20,其实是阿格西劳斯的影响在其中发挥了很大的作用,相比较至今在军事上还没有出色表现的克利奥姆布罗图斯,很多长老更愿意相信有智慧、有威望的阿格西劳斯。 Now, the final decision-making power fell on the bodies of 5 supervisory officers. 现在,最后的决定权落在了五名监察官的身上。 The power that the Sparta supervisory officer has is very big, can examine and supervise the king and elder internally, outward the army that is responsible for the diplomacy and supervision goes to battle with, but they from the ordinary civilians, these civilians are actually undergoing the difficult military training since childhood, after being grown, unceasing fights, until 30 years old divorces from the collective life, they being skilled in military skill, most people and other aspects too did not understand the politics, diplomacy, experienced, has the citizen of political wisdom is not quite many like guest Lysippos, therefore Sparta these years always are quite outward strong, be only received the heavy setback, Will choose to flinch. 斯巴达的监察官所拥有的权力很大,对内可以审查和监督国王以及长老,对外则负责外交和监察出征的军队,但他们却是选自于普通的平民,这些平民从小就接受着艰苦的军事训练,成年后不断的进行战斗,直至30岁才脱离集体生活,他们除了精通军事技能之外,大多数人对于政治、外交等其他方面都不太了解,像客里索普斯这样见多识广、有着政治智慧的公民并不太多,所以斯巴达这些年对外一向比较强硬,只有受到了较重的挫折,才会选择退缩。 These 5 supervisory officer actually entirety of without any exception however this year choosing chose- breaks diplomatic relation with Theonia, the reason is very simple: With the Thebes successive years of war, without making any notable progress, the home is exhausted day by day, the soldier unceasing casualties, the people are miserable beyond description, the war-weariness is strong, supervises the choice reflection of officers is this time public opinion, the Sparta people wants to stop the war, regaining the peace urgently. As for possible, therefore causes more powerful enemy Theonia, they will actually not consider that far. 但是今年选上的这五位监察官却无一例外的全部选择了-与戴奥尼亚断交,原因很简单:与底比斯的连年战争,没有取得任何明显进展,国内却日益困顿,战士不断伤亡,民众苦不堪言,厌战情绪非常严重,监察官们的选择反映的就是此时的民意,斯巴达民众迫切的想要停止战争、恢复和平。至于可能因此导致一个更强大的敌人戴奥尼亚,他们却不会考虑那么远。 Such result has not made Agesilaus be disappointed, instead is to make him relax: Since the god is Sparta made the choice, he does not need to intertwine again anything. 这样的结果没有让阿格西劳斯感到失望,反而是让他松了口气:既然神祗已经为斯巴达做出了选择,他也不需要再纠结什么了。 Corio Mbu Rotouss noticed that Agesilaus stood, cannot bear contented saying: „The resolution that now and Theonia breaks diplomatic relation has been passed, you must refute is still useless even.” 克利奥姆布罗图斯看到阿格西劳斯又站了起来,忍不住自得的说道:“现在与戴奥尼亚断交的决议已经通过,你就算要反驳也没用了。” Agesilaus has not managed him, observes the situation the people saying: „Even if we decided that must break diplomatic relation with Theonia, but will still send the envoy who can speak, tactful with King Theonia explained reason that we have to break diplomatic relation, if we have enough sincerity, believes that will not enrage Theonian, at us and Thebes peace talks at crucial moment declares war to us.” 阿格西劳斯没有理他,环视众人说道:“就算我们决定要与戴奥尼亚断交,但是也应该派一个能说话的使者,委婉的跟戴奥尼亚国王说明我们不得不断交的原因,如果我们有足够的诚意,相信也不会激怒戴奥尼亚人,在我们与底比斯和谈的关键时候向我们宣战。” „I have said that Sparta does not dread at the Theonia combat, happen to can take this good opportunity, solves this greatly troublesome!” The Corio Mbu Rotouss's discontented reminder said. “我说过了,斯巴达不畏惧于戴奥尼亚作战,正好可以利用这个好机会,解决掉这个大麻烦！”克利奥姆布罗图斯不满的提醒道。 „Agesilaus king said is reasonable, if can achieve the peace talk with Thebes and Athens, can avoid Theonia provoking the war temporarily, naturally was best.” Not only most elders expressed the support, supervised the officers not to have the objection, but they had for the candidate of going abroad on a diplomatic mission. “阿格西劳斯王说得有道理,如果能够同底比斯、雅典达成和议,又能暂时避免戴奥尼亚挑起战争,当然是最好了。”不只是多数的长老们对此表示赞同,就连监察官们也没有异议,但是他们却为出使的人选感到头疼。 Instance that because only had to do with Theonia from the past several times, that King Theonia was not a person of good speech, therefore the envoy who sent, excels at diplomacy that he knew well to go to Thurii, the effect of definitely playing was much better, but guest Lysippos, Pharacidas had died in battle one after another, other Sparta people were completely strange to Theonia. 因为从以往仅有的几次与戴奥尼亚打交道的事例来看,那位戴奥尼亚国王并不是一个好说话的人,所以派一个他熟识的、又擅长外交的使者前往图里伊,肯定起到的效果要好很多,但无论是客里索普斯、还是菲比达斯都已经相继战死,其余的斯巴达人对戴奥尼亚完全陌生。
