但波里多鲁斯却不知道,命令发出之后,位于前队的波里弗隆脸色铁青,胯下的战马被他狠狠的拽下了一把鬃毛,痛苦的嘶鸣不止……Late at night, the Thessalyarmyreturns to the camp outside Fulecity, the soldiers who are exhaustedcrashed into the dreamlandquickly.
深夜,塞萨利军队回到菲莱城外的营地,疲惫不堪的士兵们很快就坠入了梦乡。ReceivesPolyDohlus of tensionpuzzleactuallyto toss and turnandbe hardat presentto go to sleep.
受到眼前紧张局势困扰的波里多鲁斯却辗转反侧、难以入睡。Suddenly, hehearsout of the doorto connectseveralbigsounds, subconscioussitting up, shoutedone: „FellowKaess( guard of entrancetaking turn on the watch), whatmatter did outsiderelease?”
突然间,他听到门外接连有几声较大的响动,下意识的坐起,喊了一声:“菲洛克斯(门口值岗的卫兵),外面放生了什么事?”No oneresponded, butthenheheard„thump thump thump” the sound of footsteps, a bigperson's shadowsuddenlyappearedbeforehim, was actually PolyFlond, hisappearancewas fierce, in the handtook the short-sword that cold lightis sparkling.
没人回应,但接着他就听到“咚咚咚”的脚步声,一个高大的人影突然出现在他面前,却是波里弗隆,他面目狰狞,手中拿着一把寒光闪闪的短剑。PolyDohlusis alarmedonestartled, immediatelyshoutsloudly: „Third Brother, you are-”
波里多鲁斯怵然一惊,当即大声喊道:“三弟,你这是-”PolyFlondstares the roundeyes, makes an effortto wield the short-swordrapidly, delimitstogether the bloodybigmouthonPolyDohlus'sface, the blood and severe painmakeshisshoutstop suddenly, hetumblesface upon the bed.
波里弗隆瞪圆双眼,迅速而用力地挥出短剑,在波里多鲁斯的脸上划出一道血淋淋的大口,鲜血和剧痛让他的喊声戛然而止,他仰面跌倒在床榻上。PolyFlondis without hesitationpunctured the short-swordtowardhiselder brother'schestcontinuously, the bloodsplashed his face, untilPolyDohlusstoppedstruggling, hestood up, gazes at fixedlyis pouring the brothersinpool of blood, wickedsaidin a low voice: „Coward, youdamn!

波里弗隆毫不迟疑的紧接着朝着他哥哥的胸膛连续刺出短剑,鲜血溅了他一脸,直至波里多鲁斯停止挣扎,他才站起身,瞪视着倒在血泊中的兄弟,恶狠狠的低声说道:“胆小鬼,你早就该死了!接下来我会让伊阿宋知道,只有我才能拯救塞萨利!”..................................................................
…………………………………………………………When the dusk, Pusimessengerrode a horseto rush toAthenson this day.
在这天黄昏的时候,奥罗浦斯的信使骑马赶到了雅典。GeneralAthens the executive committeeheld an emergency meetingquickly.雅典将军执行委员会很快就此召开了一个紧急会议。„Everyone, Ijustobtained the news that Pusipersonspreads.”Callistratuskept a serious looksaying: „Theircrewdiscoverieshavelarge number ofTheoniawarships and troop carriersenter the MariaKaessbayandPhkabay, andfor a long timestays......”
“各位,我刚刚得到奥罗浦斯人传来的消息。”卡利斯特拉图斯表情严肃的说道:“他们的船员发现有大量的戴奥尼亚战船和运兵船进入马里亚科斯海湾和帕加萨海湾,并且长时间停留……”
After othereightgeneralshearthisnews, feelsshocking, somepeoplecannot bearcall out in alarm: „TheonianthisismustlandThessaly!”
其余八名将军听到这个消息后都感到震惊,有人忍不住惊呼:“戴奥尼亚人这是要登陆塞萨利啊!”Saying that alsosomepeopleworry about: „MaylandsThessalynot only, ifmakesTheoniansuccessfullylandin the MariaKaessbay, they can definitely attack and occupyHeracleaandThermopylae, thencontinuesto go south, canattackKiess'scity-state......”
也有人担忧的说道:“可不光是登陆塞萨利,如果让戴奥尼亚人在马里亚科斯海湾成功登陆,他们完全可以攻占赫拉克利亚和温泉关,然后继续南下,就可以进攻佛基斯的城邦……”„Sincebattle, ourAthenshas possibly conducted to landto guardtoTheonian, Thessalyshouldalsoguard, the Theoniaarmymay notsuccessfullyland.”Generalindefinitesaying.
“自开战以来,我们雅典就一直对戴奥尼亚人可能进行登陆有所防备,塞萨利应该也有所防备吧,戴奥尼亚军队不一定能够成功登陆吧。”有一名将军不确定的说道。„How manyarmies does keyneedto look atTheonianto send out?”CaburiLancetasked: „How manyTheoniatroop carriers did Pusipersonsaysomeprobably?”
“关键要看戴奥尼亚人派出了多少军队?”卡布利阿斯问道:“奥罗浦斯人有没有说大概有多少戴奥尼亚运兵船?”„Ihave asked.”Callistratusreplied: „Theyare unable to say a specificdigit, buta littletheybelieve firmlyvery much, the Theoniawarship and troop carrier that theyseedefinitelywere overthousand.”
“我问过了。”卡利斯特拉图斯回答:“他们无法说出一个具体的数字,但是有一点他们很确信,他们所看到的戴奥尼亚战船和运兵船肯定是超过了千艘。”„Thousand......”CaburiLancetis estimating: „If the Theoniaentirefleetcalculatesaccording to1000, even if the troop carrieronlyaccounts forhalf, thatstill has about 25,000soldiers. Moreoverwe are very clear, the warship and transportation fleetcomposite, the warshipnumberoftenonlyoccupies14 of entirefleet, evenare less, removessometransportationcommoditiesagain the ships, Iestimated the Theoniaarmy that conducts landingat leasthas30,000people......”
“千艘……”卡布利阿斯估算着:“如果戴奥尼亚的整个船队按照1000艘来算,即使运兵船只占到一半,那也大约有25,000名士兵。而且我们都很清楚,战船和运输船队混合编队,战船数量往往只占到整个船队的14,甚至更少,再排除掉一些运输物资的船只,我估计进行登陆的戴奥尼亚军队至少有3万人……”„30,000people!......” Several other GeneralAthenslook at each other in blank dismay, one of them hugswas sayingby luck: „It is reported that defendsinPeloponnesehasover30,000people of Theoniaarmies that ourGreeceAllied armiesattack, canbe the Theoniamain force that defendsinbeautifulSeniaandSpartawill transportnorth?”
“3万人!……”另几名雅典将军面面相觑,其中一人抱着侥幸说道:“据悉,在伯罗奔尼撒防御我们希腊联军进攻的就有超过3万人的戴奥尼亚军队,会不会是他们将在美塞尼亚和斯巴达防御的戴奥尼亚主力运送到了北面?”„Shouldnot be!”Saying that CaburiAskerndecides: „ IfTheoniantook awayin the Peloponnesearmy, then the surplussoldiersare definitely not enoughto resist the attack of GreekAllied armies, oncebeautifulSeniaandSpartawere recapturedbyus, was equal toshutting off their just the escape route of armylandedinnorth, Ithink that Theonianwill not make such bigmistake!
“应该不是!”卡布利阿斯肯定的说道:“如果戴奥尼亚人抽掉了在伯罗奔尼撒的军队,那么剩余的士兵肯定不足以抵挡希腊联军的进攻,一旦美塞尼亚和斯巴达被我们夺回,就等于是切断了他们这支刚刚在北面登陆的军队的后路,我想戴奥尼亚人不会犯这么大的错误!Also, severalyears ago when TheoniaandCarthagehave the warhad set out100,000armies, thisnorthTheonialandingarmy likely was just the newarmy that sends outfromtheirhome...... ”
再说,几年前戴奥尼亚与迦太基发生战争时曾经出动过10万军队,这北面的戴奥尼亚登陆军队很可能就是刚从他们国内派出的新军队……”„Theoniasets out100,000soldiersto be only the hearsaywith the news that Carthagebattles, cannotdetermine that real, whoknows that isTheoniaexaggerates the factintentionally, is usedto frighten the peripheralinfluence.”Thatgeneralrefutedas beforeobstinately: „Eventhatis the fact, thatisbecausetheywere the native placebattledat that time, butnowdeliverstens of thousandssoldiersfromTheonia, tobeing separated byseveral hundredli (0.5 km) away Thessalylanding, consumptionandexpenditurebig, theseyearsyoucommanded the navy to be very clear, Ido not think that Theoniahadthisstrengthto mobilize soldiersfromtheirterritoriesagain!”
“戴奥尼亚出动10万士兵同迦太基作战的消息只是传闻,并不能确定是真的,谁知道是不是戴奥尼亚故意夸大事实,用来吓唬周边的势力。”那名将军依旧执拗的反驳道:“就算那是事实,那不过是因为当时他们是本土作战,而现在从戴奥尼亚运载几万名士兵,到相隔几百里远的塞萨利登陆,这其中的消耗和花费有多大,这些年你统领海军应该很清楚,我不认为戴奥尼亚有这个实力重新从他们的领地内调兵!”CaburiLancet'searnestsaying: „DuringPeloponnesian War, ourAthenscansend out40,000armiesto expediteSyracuse, the territory that nowKingdom of Theoniacontrolsmaybe oldermuchthanthenus, theycan certainlyachieve.”
卡布利阿斯认真的说道:“在伯罗奔尼撒战争期间,我们雅典就可以派出4万大军远征锡拉库扎,现在戴奥尼亚王国所控制的领地可比当时的我们要大得多,他们当然更能够做到。”Thatgeneralsneers: „The Kingdom of Theoniaterritorytrulyis much bigger than ourAthens, maymostlybe the barbaricbarren land, howpossiblyto compare favorably withthenAthensto be wealthy, that timewecontrolled the entireAegean Seatrade!-”
那名将军冷笑一声:“戴奥尼亚王国的领地确实比我们雅典大得多,可大多是野蛮贫瘠之地,怎么可能比得上当时的雅典富裕,那时的我们可是控制了整个爱琴海的贸易!-”„Everyonedo not quarrel!”Callistratusseriouspersuasion: „The Theoniaarmy that no matterlandsinThessaly, ships from the Kingdom of Theoniaterritory that reassignsfromPeloponneseagain, presentissueThessalydomesticdefenseshouldbe very void, perhapsis very difficultto resistsuch an a huge number ofarmy, whatregarding this should wemake?!”
“大家都不要吵了!”卡利斯特拉图斯神情严肃的劝说道:“不管在塞萨利登陆的戴奥尼亚军队是从伯罗奔尼撒抽调的、还是重新从戴奥尼亚王国领地运来的,现在的问题斯塞萨利境内的防御应该十分空虚,恐怕很难抵御这样一支数目庞大的军队,对此我们应该做些什么?!”„Immediatelysends peopleto informKiessandvariousLocricity-state ‚ Theonianin the news that Thessalylands, makingthemwhilestrengthening the citydefense, sends peopleto verify the Theoniaarmyas soon as possibleinThessalydomestictrend.”CaburiLancet'scalmsaying: „Simultaneouslyweshouldsend peopleto hurry toPeloponneseimmediately, toldJasonthisnews, hewill certainly command the armyto return toThessalyas soon as possible, defeated the Theoniaarmy, eliminated the northhidden danger, when necessarywe should also dispatch troopsto reinforce.”
“立即派人去告知佛基斯和洛克里斯各城邦‘戴奥尼亚人在塞萨利登陆的消息,让他们在加强城池防御的同时,尽快派人探明戴奥尼亚军队在塞萨利境内的动向。”卡布利阿斯冷静的说道:“同时我们应该马上派人赶去伯罗奔尼撒,告诉伊阿宋这个消息,他一定会尽快率军返回塞萨利,击败戴奥尼亚军队,消除掉北面的隐患,在必要的时候我们也应该派兵增援。”„CaburiLancet, yourproposition, I can only agree withhalf.” A leisuresoundconveysfrom the corner, the person of speechis a silver-hairedold person, hehas been sitting in repose with eyes closedbefore, butthisopened the mouthto capture the attention of peopleimmediately.
“卡布利阿斯,你的这个提议,我只能同意一半。”一个慢悠悠的声音从角落里传来,说话的人是一位白发苍苍的老人,他之前一直在闭目养神,可这一开口就立刻吸引了众人的目光。HisnamewasAghourRios, the Athensaristocrat, one of the onceDemocratic Partyheads, oncewas elected asGeneralAthensrepeatedly, tried hardwithThrasybulus together, makingAthensgraduallygo outwith the shadow that Spartadefeated, startedto restorein the paststrength, moreoverhepursued„the city-statebenefitwas supreme” the principle, facilitateddirectlyproduction that observed the playsubvention system, thereforereceived the love of Athenspeoplevery much. Buttheseyearsheno longerparticipates in the campaign of GeneralAthens, too oldis only a reason, whatis more importantisheisCallistratus'sfather, hemustprominenceandhave the son of granderambitionto allow to pass through.
他的名字叫阿古尔里奥斯,雅典贵族,曾经的民主派首脑之一,曾经多次当选雅典将军,同色拉西布洛斯一起共同努力,让雅典逐渐走出了与斯巴达战败的阴影,开始恢复往昔的实力,而且他奉行“城邦利益至上”的原则,直接促成了观剧津贴制度的产生,因此很受雅典民众的爱戴。但这些年他不再参与雅典将军的竞选,年岁太大只是一个原因,更重要的是他是卡利斯特拉图斯的父亲,他要给已经声名鹊起、有更大抱负的儿子让路。Twomonths ago, a Democratic Partygeneralserious illnesscannot the director, recommendhimto replace itself, ecclesiafinallyadoptedthissomewhatabsurdresolutionunexpectedly, the possiblereasonisCarrariStellaTusandSpartasuccessfullysigns the contract, pushes asideThebes, isAthensgets very biginterests, won the hugeprestigeforhim. In addition, infacingTheoniamilitary invasion, the Spartadecline, ThebesriseandThessalyambitiouslyand otherinsituations of Greeksituationbig change, onceexperiencedPeloponnesian WarandAghourRios of Corinthwarto assume the generalexecutive committee, it is estimated thatwill make the GreekPeoplefeel relieved, thereforealsopresentedpair of fathers and sonsto hold the post of the anecdote of GeneralAthenssimultaneously, thiswassinceAthensadopted the democratic systemhas never had the matter.
两个月前,一名民主派将军重病不能理事,推荐了他来代替自己,公民大会最终竟然通过了这个有些荒谬的决议,可能的原因是卡拉利斯特拉图斯与斯巴达成功签署合约,排挤掉底比斯,是雅典获得很大利益,为他赢得了巨大声望。此外,在面临着戴奥尼亚军队入侵、斯巴达衰落、底比斯崛起、塞萨利野心勃勃等希腊本土局势大变的情况下,曾经经历伯罗奔尼撒战争、科林斯战争的阿古尔里奥斯坐镇将军执行委员会,估计更会让希腊民众放心,所以也就出现了一对父子同时担任雅典将军的轶事,这是自雅典采取民主制度以来从未有过的事。„At presentGreekAllied armiesbeautifulSeniaandSparta who mount a large-scale attackTheonianto occupy, is in the absoluteadvantage, perhapsneedsseveralagaindays or more than tendays of time, canbreak through the defense of Theonian, expelsPeloponneseitthoroughly......, ifwetoldthatGooseThessalyencounteredTheoniaarmy attack ’ the newsatthis time ‚, heleads certainly the armyto return toThessalyimmediately, at least2-3monthslatermightjointoGreekAllied armiesin......”
“目前希腊联军正大举进攻戴奥尼亚人占据的美塞尼亚和斯巴达,正处于绝对的优势,或许再需要几天或十几天时间,就能够攻破戴奥尼亚人的防御,彻底将其赶出伯罗奔尼撒……如果我们在这个时候告诉那个塔古斯‘塞萨利遭到戴奥尼亚军队攻击’的消息,他一定会立刻率领军队返回塞萨利,至少2-3个月之后才有可能重新加入到希腊联军之中……”AghourRioswith the deepvisionglancepeople, fallsononeselfsonfinally: „Even may also not lead the main forceto go southagain, toavoidThessalybeing attackedagain! According to the return of Iphicrates, the quantity of Thessalyarmynot onlyaccounted forhalf of GreekAllied armies, but also the battle efficiency was also very strong, was the allied armiesattacks the main force of Theoniaarmy. Once the Thessalyarmyleaves, battle efficiencybigweakening of allied armies, will also knock the confidence of otherGreekcity-statearmies, by that timeGreekAllied armies are not only unable to have the advantageagain, but alsopossiblybyfailure!”
阿古尔里奥斯用深沉的目光扫视众人,最后落在自己儿子身上:“甚至也有可能不会再率主力南下,以避免塞萨利再受攻击!根据伊菲克拉特斯的回报,塞萨利军队的数量不但占到了希腊联军的一半,而且战斗力也很强,是联军进攻戴奥尼亚军队的主力。一旦塞萨利军队离开,联军的战斗力会大大的减弱,还会动摇其他希腊城邦军队的信心,到那时希腊联军不但无法再占据优势,而且还可能遭受失败!”InCallistratusheartmoves, somewhathesitantsaying: „Father, you mean...... we do not tellJasonthisnewstemporarily. Butas the matter stands, Thessalyondanger, oncemadeTheoniaseizeThessaly, they not only can Greecefromnorththreat, evenpossiblythreateneduschildnationImphalPolisnorthMacedonia...... in the long run, wewere the gains don't equal the loss!”
卡利斯特拉图斯心中一动,有些犹豫的说道:“父亲,您的意思是……我们暂时不将这个消息告诉伊阿宋。可这样一来,塞萨利就危险了,一旦让戴奥尼亚占领了塞萨利,他们不但可以从北面威胁中希腊,甚至可能威胁到我们在马其顿北面的子邦安菲波利斯啊……从长远来说,我们是得不偿失啊!”AghourRioshas not respondedimmediately, the eyes of hispollutionare looking at the front, hassomerecollections, at a moderate pacesaying: „ Youknow that Ioncewas the war of ImphalPolis a( essentialfight in Peloponnesian War, Athensdefeated, causeitfromyoustar seato the Athenstransportinggrainchannelshut off) the survivor, butyoudo not know that beforethatfight, IoncetreatedinThessalyafter a period of time, hadcertain understanding of Thessaly......
阿古尔里奥斯没有立刻作出回应,他浑浊的双眼望着前方,带着些许的回忆,不紧不慢的说道:“你们都知道我曾经是安菲波利斯之战(伯罗奔尼撒战争中的一场关键的战斗,雅典战败,导致其从攸克星海到雅典的运粮通道被切断)的幸存者,但你们不知道在那场战斗之前,我曾经在塞萨利境内待过一段时间,对塞萨利有一定的了解……Therelandis smooth, is populous, amongcity-state the battle, the surroundingsmountain ridge are also year to year many are aggressivecombativeindigenous, with the Thessalianwar...... Jasoncanitsunification, actuallymakemebe startledunceasinglyfinallyvery much. UnifiedThessalyresists the Theoniamain force, butsimilarly is also the threat of Athens, Ithink before , Jasonhad fully demonstratedhisambition!
那里土地平坦广阔,人口众多,城邦之间常年争斗,周围山岭又多是凶悍好斗的土著,与塞萨利人战争不断……伊阿宋最终能够将其统一,其实很让我吃惊。一个统一的塞萨利是抵抗戴奥尼亚的主力,但同样也是雅典的威胁,我想之前伊阿宋已经充分的展示了他的野心!Ido not believe, can only conquerThessalyanditsneighboring regionasTheonia of externalalien racewiththese30,000soldierscompletely, biggerpossiblyistheywill arouse the antiforeignThessaliananger, invadedPiaoxialikeformerSparta, thoroughfell into the quagmire of wear. Butfalls intochaoticThessalynot to have the threattoourAthens...... ”
我不认为,作为外来异族的戴奥尼亚仅凭着这3万士兵就能够完全征服塞萨利和其周边地区,更大的可能是他们会激起排外的塞萨利人的怒火,就像之前斯巴达入侵皮奥夏一样,彻底的陷入战争的泥潭。而一个重新陷入混乱的塞萨利对我们雅典就不在存在威胁……”Note: According to the historyrecords, after Jasonwas killed, hisbrothersPolyDohlustook overisGoose, heandPolyFlondwent toLarissa dead a violent deathto perishtogetheron the way, subsequentlywas taken overThessalyGoosebyPolyFlond.

注:根据历史记载,伊阿宋遇刺身亡之后,他的兄弟波里多鲁斯接任为塔古斯,他和波里弗隆一同前往拉里萨途中暴毙而亡,继而由波里弗隆接任塞萨利塔古斯。由于波里多鲁斯死得突然,事前没有任何征兆,当时不少人认为是波里弗隆趁着波里多鲁斯在夜里熟睡时将其杀害。
