Caburi Lancet complexion slightly embarrassed, explained in a low voice: „Morning time, the Theonia fleet approached compared with Piraeus, at that time had transmitted ‚border line of defense by the Theonia army breaks through’ the news, in the city is very chaotic...... to prevent accident/surprise, I ordered temporarily to close the harbor...... the Theonia fleet also to approach before compared with Piraeus several times, we also did that reason that but I have not thought of Theonia fleet time do that unexpectedly to cover up them wanted to attack and occupy attempt of Eghina!” 卡布利阿斯面色微囧,低声解释道:“上午的时候,戴奥尼亚舰队就逼近了比雷埃夫斯港,当时已经传来‘边境防线被戴奥尼亚军队攻破’的消息,城内很是混乱……为了防止意外,我下令暂时关闭了港口……戴奥尼亚舰队在之前也几次逼近比雷埃夫斯港,我们也都是这么做的,但我万万没有想到戴奥尼亚舰队这一次之所以这么做,居然是为了遮掩他们想要攻占埃伊纳岛的企图！” „I thought that you truly to we have said ‚Theonia fleet threat compared with Piraeus’ the matter, to prevent loss, closed the order of harbor we is also agrees.” Callistratus complexion becomes extremely ugly: „But Aiyina is attacked now, what to do should we?!” “我想起来了,你确实跟我们说过‘戴奥尼亚舰队威胁比雷埃夫斯港’的事,为了防止损失,关闭港口的命令我们也都是同意的。”卡利斯特拉图斯脸色变得极其难看:“但是现在埃伊纳遭到攻击,我们该怎么办？！” Caburi Lancet hesitated merely, decides to make up for one's faults by good deeds, he said resolutely: „Aiyina cannot be seized by Theonia, I requested that first leads the fleet to attack, attacks and leads away the Theonia fleet, you send the fleet delivery reinforcements, seizes the chance to enter the harbor, defends the Aiyina city!” 卡布利阿斯仅仅迟疑了一下,就决定要将功补过,他毅然说道:“埃伊纳绝不能被戴奥尼亚占领,我请求先率领舰队出击,攻击并引开戴奥尼亚舰队,你们派船队运载援军,趁机进入港口,守住埃伊纳城！” The generals know that Caburi Lancet's plan is risky, but at least half of people almost expressed the support without hesitation, because they are very clear: Although the Theonia fleet is powerful, but was unable to block the Athens sea lanes completely , because their stations south Peloponnese, every day sooner or later will travel, the total sometime crevice is unable to cruise in Saronic Gulf, but if made Theonia seize were away from the Athens close Eghina, because in Eghina had the perfect naval port facility, they can anchor the fleet in Eghina directly, looked like withstand/top with a dagger directly in the chest of Athens, can threaten compared with Piraeus 24 hours a day, regarding Athens that will be the giant disaster. 将军们都知道卡布利阿斯的计划非常冒险,但是至少一半人几乎不加思索的表示了赞同,因为他们都很清楚:戴奥尼亚舰队虽然强大,但至今还不能完全封锁雅典的海上通路,是因为他们的驻地在伯罗奔尼撒南部,每天早晚往返,总有一段时间的空隙无法在萨龙湾巡弋,但如果让戴奥尼亚占领了距离雅典近在咫尺的埃伊纳岛,由于埃伊纳岛内有完善的军港设施,他们就可以将舰队直接停泊在埃伊纳岛,就像是拿一把匕首直接顶在了雅典的胸口,可以全天24小时威胁比雷埃夫斯港,对于雅典来说那将是巨大的灾难。 „Generals, although I according to the request of Aiyina Crew, conveyed their request to you, but I do not hope that you send the fleet to leave port!” Official facial expression incomparably serious saying of this Evers port: „ According to the view of Aiyina Crew, Theonia came two fleets, surrounds Eghina, a blockade compared with Piraeus, their quantities possibly was over 600, therefore runs out of the Aiyina harbor 20 warships to be sunk completely, only then this express steamer taking advantage of their shields, crashed in the harbor finally...... “将军们,虽然我按照埃伊纳船员的要求,向你们转达了他们的要求,但是我并不希望你们派舰队出港！”这位比雷埃弗斯港的官员神情无比郑重的说道:“按照埃伊纳船员的说法,戴奥尼亚来了两支舰队,一支包围埃伊纳岛,一支封锁比雷埃夫斯港,他们的数量可能超过了六百艘,所以冲出埃伊纳港口的20艘战船全部都被撞沉,只有这一艘快船借着它们的掩护,最终冲进了港口…… But in compared with Piraeus, only then 75 warships, take risk to attack, perhaps will suffer the same misfortune, if Athens will not have the warship protection, perhaps the god will punish will arrive! ” 而在比雷埃夫斯港内只有75艘战船,冒险出击,恐怕会遭受同样的厄运,如果雅典会没有了战船保护,恐怕神祗的惩罚就会到来！” The generals listen, mind big quake. 将军们听完,心神大震。 In the past before the Persia army attacked, Athenians obtained oracle to Delphi: The wooden wall will defend Athens! 当年波斯大军来袭之前,雅典人向德尔斐求得神谕:木墙将保卫雅典！ Under Themistocles's misleading, the people think in oracle said „wooden wall” is a warship, therefore the consumption large amount of money, makes the warship wantonly, Thalami naval battle that thus leads with the Athens fleet becomes the turning point of Greco-Persian Wars, makes Athens people's oracle to Delphi believe in firmly, and is the continuation. 在地米斯托克利的蛊惑下,民众认为神谕中所说的“木墙”就是战船,因此耗费巨资、大肆建造战船,从而以雅典舰队主导的萨拉米加海战成为了希波战争的转折点,也让雅典民众对德尔菲的神谕深信不疑,并且代代相传。 Now Athens faced with huge danger, if regards as the warship of Athens dependence also to be destroyed completely, these generals will feel from the bottom of the heart terrified and is at a loss. 如今雅典面临巨大危险,如果视为雅典依靠的战船也将被全部毁灭的话,这些将军们从心底里会感到惶恐和无所适从。 At this time, a moment ago attitude firm Caburi Lancet also became somewhat vacant. 此时,就连刚才态度坚决的卡布利阿斯也变得有些茫然了。 „Negotiates peace with the Theonia truce.” Iphicrates sighed lightly: „Things have gotten to this point, only then this can save Athens!” “和戴奥尼亚停战议和吧。”伊菲克拉特斯一声轻叹:“事已至此,只有这样才能拯救雅典！” The Iphicrates words make the people one startled, in the room falls into immediately quietly, before he arrives, not no one has thought must negotiate peace with Theonia, but actually no one opens the mouth saying that because the general executive committee reached the identical view initially, will stir up Athens citizen's hostility to the Theonia wantonly, finally declares war to Theonia, must change string changed/easy stretch/open several months later, first proposed that the generals of this resolution must withstand Athens citizens more anger without doubt. 伊菲克拉特斯的话让众人心里一惊,房间内顿时陷入沉寂,在他到来之前,并非没有人想过要与戴奥尼亚进行议和,但却没人开口提出来,因为当初正是将军执行委员会达成了一致意见,才会大肆煽动雅典公民对戴奥尼亚的敌意,最终向戴奥尼亚宣战,如今才过了几个月就要改弦易张,最先提出这个决议的将军们无疑要承受雅典公民们更多的怒火。 But the Iphicrates words pierced this window paper, the Theonia army soon attacking army has reached the city, but Eghina of marine barrier was invaded, was confined Athens of Guatemalan city actually not to have other choices. 但伊菲克拉特斯的话捅破了这层窗户纸,戴奥尼亚军队即将兵临城下而海上屏障的埃伊纳岛又遭到入侵,坐困危城的雅典其实已经没有了其他选择。 On urgently ecclesia, when Callistratus proposed „to the Theonia peace negotiation” when suggestion, he thinks that will suffer scolding and obstruction of citizens, but not, because the citizen who is repulsed from the west border, follows Iphicrates, in Peloponnese went on an expedition several months of citizen, as well as daily in the citizen who on the warship with trepidation, the same Theonia fleet socializes...... their experiences without any exception to the great strength of Theonia army, urgent wanted to end this fearful war, simply did not have the thoughts investigated general executive committee the responsibility. 在紧急召开的公民大会上,当卡利斯特拉图斯提出“向戴奥尼亚议和”的建议时,他原以为会遭受到公民们的责难和阻挠,但是并没有,因为无论是从西面边境败退回来的公民、还是跟随伊菲克拉特斯在伯罗奔尼撒征战了几个月的公民、以及天天在战船上提心吊胆、同戴奥尼亚舰队周旋的公民……他们无一例外的见识到戴奥尼亚军队的强大,迫切的想要结束这场可怕的战争,根本没有心思去追究将军执行委员会的责任。 The proposition was passed quickly, Callistratus applied on own initiative becomes the envoy who went abroad on a diplomatic mission the Theonia army was also passed. 提议很快被通过,卡利斯特拉图斯主动申请成为出使戴奥尼亚军队的使者也获得通过。 2nd day early morning, outside the Athens city the land vibrates, the dust fills the air, the Theonia allied armies appeared in the field of vision of top sentry. 第二天一早,雅典城外大地震动,尘土弥漫,戴奥尼亚联军出现在了城头哨兵的视野里。 Obtains Athens citizens hurrying of news to dress the armor, takes up the shield lance, rushes to the top to prepare to defend in abundance. 得到消息的雅典公民们赶紧穿戴好盔甲,拿起盾矛,纷纷赶到城头准备防御。 At this time, the Theonia allied armies in the city following good battle formation, to have seen only the soldier, lance such as the forests and innumerable colors to flutter, the innumerable armor sparkles...... to see that wave of the Athens citizens eyes feel dizzy, the heart feels uncomfortable. 此时,戴奥尼亚联军已经在城下列好阵势,只见士兵如潮、长矛如林、无数军旗招展、无数盔甲闪耀……看到雅典公民们眼睛发晕,心头发紧。 „Hades!!! Hades!!! Hades!!!......” Theonia soldier in unison shouted loudly, was intermittent like the startling thunderclap, making Athens citizen soldiers two fight the war. “哈迪斯！！！哈迪斯！！！哈迪斯！！！……”戴奥尼亚士兵齐声高喊,如同惊雷阵阵,让雅典公民兵们两股战战。 Is under the Theonia army powerful situation, Callistratus had/left the city gate, walks into the Theonia army directly, saw commander-in-chief Patraud Krows of this army. 就是戴奥尼亚军队气势如虹的情形下,卡利斯特拉图斯出了城门,径直走入戴奥尼亚军中,见到了这支军队的总指挥官帕特洛克洛斯。 When he proposed that „Athens wants to discuss with Theonia when truce peace negotiation” incident, Patroclus actually shook the head to reject, and told him: With power of Greek Union armistice talks in the hand of another Theonia army commander Prince Crotokatax. 但是当他提出“雅典想要同戴奥尼亚商谈停战议和”一事时,帕特洛克罗斯却摇头拒绝了,并且告诉他:与希腊同盟停战谈判的权力在另一支戴奥尼亚军队指挥官克洛托卡塔克斯王子的手中。 Callistratus has also to propose: During Athens and Theonia negotiate, can suspend to the attack of Athens? 卡利斯特拉图斯只好又提出:在雅典与戴奥尼亚进行谈判期间,能否暂停对雅典的进攻？ Patroclus is the straightforward rejection: Only if ceasefire agreement signing, the Theonia army that otherwise he directs will not stop the attack to Athens city! 帕特洛克罗斯更是直截了当的拒绝:除非停战协议签订,否则他所指挥的戴奥尼亚军队绝不会停止对雅典城的进攻！ Hears this saying, Callistratus has to rush to Peloponnese immediately. 听到这话,卡利斯特拉图斯不得不立即赶往伯罗奔尼撒。 But Patroclus formation under the Athens city, but is demonstrated that the military might of Theonia allied armies, attacks the Athenians morale. His very clear Athens city is not easily can capture, therefore is quick he to issue the order: The army inside and outside two builds the camp in the Athens city. 而帕特洛克罗斯列阵于雅典城下,不过是展示戴奥尼亚联军的军威,打击雅典人的士气。他心里很清楚雅典城不是轻易就能攻下的,因此很快他就下达命令:军队在雅典城两里外修筑营地。 ............................................................ …………………………………………………… Callistratus whirls to south, crosses Megara, enters the Corinth city. 卡利斯特拉图斯一路向南急行,过麦加拉,进入科林斯城。 The Corinth person to him inquired on own initiative the north tactical situation, he falsely asserted: Athens draws in the soldiers in the city, first defends, now has repelled a Theonia army full power to attack a city with ease, is saving more strengths. His these requests that comes should the Athens people, discussed with Theonia, hopes can probably return died in battle in Peloponnese the remains of Athens citizen. 科林斯人主动向他询问北面的战况,他诡称:雅典将士兵们都收拢在城内,先进行防御,现在已经轻松的击退了戴奥尼亚军队一次全力攻城,正在积蓄更多的力量。他这一次来是应雅典民众的要求,同戴奥尼亚进行商谈,希望能够要回战死在伯罗奔尼撒的雅典公民的遗体。 The Corinth person is half believing and half doubting, but they a little can confirm: Athenians according to the city defense, impossible to have been sending the reinforcements to them. 科林斯人将信将疑,但他们有一点可以确认:雅典人已经在据城防御,不可能向他们派遣援军了。 In going to the Theonia military compound on the way, Callistratus saw Theonia army of formation under Corinth city, as well as they are using one that Iphicrates mentioned especially attacking a city instrument that called the crossbow artillery, the unceasing ejection marbles bombardment city wall, truly the momentum was astonishing, this made him feel that the situation was urgent. 在前往戴奥尼亚军营的途中,卡利斯特拉图斯看到了列阵于科林斯城下的戴奥尼亚军队、以及他们在使用伊菲克拉特斯特地提到的一种叫弩炮的攻城器械,再不断的弹射石弹轰击城墙,确实声势惊人,这让他更感到形势紧迫。 Iphicrates had also mentioned emphatically: The Theonia army is good at building the camp, has „at every place of visit builds camp” custom. 伊菲克拉特斯还曾经着重提及过一点:戴奥尼亚军队擅长修筑营地,有“每到一地就修筑营地”的习惯。 But this Theonia army builds the camp in side of Corinth harbor Isthmia's east isthmus, he listens to the Corinth person saying: The Theonia army arrived under the Corinth city shortly, launched the attack to Isthmia harbor full power, because their number were too many, attack to be violent, although the Corinth person conducted a reinforcement to the harbor, but the defense facility crude Isthmia port also supported the half of the day merely, was submerged by the turbulent black wave. 而这一次戴奥尼亚军队将营地修筑在科林斯在地峡东面的港口伊斯米亚的旁边,他听科林斯人讲过:戴奥尼亚军队抵达科林斯城下没多久,就全力向伊斯米亚港口发起了进攻,由于他们数量太多、进攻猛烈,科林斯人虽然对港口进行了一次增援,但防御设施简陋的伊斯米亚港也仅仅支撑了半天,就被汹涌的黑色浪潮淹没。 High place of Callistratus Station in coast, even can see in numerous Theonia warships that in the harbor anchor, he can start to launch the landing attack relates to the Theonia fleet to Eghina, because they seized were away from Aiyina not far Isthmia port, had the foothold, can nearby a better blockade compare Piraeus, continuous to landing the army of Eghina provided the support...... 卡利斯特拉图斯站在海岸的高处,甚至能够看到在港口内停泊的众多戴奥尼亚战船,他能够联想到戴奥尼亚舰队之所以开始向埃伊纳岛发起登陆进攻,正是因为他们占领了距离埃伊纳不远的伊斯米亚港,有了立足之地,可以就近更好的封锁比雷埃夫斯港,源源不断的向登陆埃伊纳岛的军队提供支持…… Callistratus with a heavy heart entered also crude Deolia Camp under the influence of Theonia team officer, entered a army tent/account. 心情沉重的卡利斯特拉图斯在戴奥尼亚队官的引领下进入了还较简陋的代奥利亚营地,进入了一座军帐。 In the army tent/account only then a person, before impressively unexpectedly is, had gone abroad on a diplomatic mission Athens Callias II. 军帐内只有一个人,赫然竟是之前曾经出使过雅典的卡里阿斯。 Callias II is with smile on the face, approaches to greet: „Sir Callistratus, welcome your arrival! Catches up from Athens, good work, please sit down quickly rests, I gave you to prepare the icy cold honey starch, you first relieved thirst!” 卡里阿斯面带笑容,主动上前迎接:“卡利斯特拉图斯大人,欢迎您的到来！从雅典一路赶来,辛苦了吧,快请坐下歇息,我给你准备了冰凉的蜂蜜浆水,你先解解渴！” Callias II observes formalities with great respect, no arrogant flavor, but that „Sir Callistratus” the name, still makes the Athens chief general feel the sharpness that in his words concealed, he increased security at heart, on the face actually the rapid reappearing smile: „Thanked! You thought too thoroughly!” 卡里阿斯执礼甚恭,没有一点盛气凌人的味道,但是那一句“卡利斯特拉图斯大人”的称呼,依然让雅典首席将军感觉到了他话里所隐含的锋锐,他加大了心里的警戒,脸上却迅速的浮现笑容:“非常感谢！你想得太周到了！” Saying, his sitting down unrestrained/no trace of politeness, carries Tao Ping on table, to oneself one cup, drank up, then carefree saying: „This starch is truly tasty!” 说着,他毫不客气的坐下,端起桌上的陶瓶,给自己倒了一杯,一口喝干,然后畅快的说道:“这浆水确实很好喝！” Callias II also returns to oneself seat, saying of face apology: „Sir Callistratus, you requests to see Your Highness Crotokatax, what a pity is he now not in the military compound, has no way to see you.” 卡里阿斯也回到自己的座位上,一脸歉意的说道:“卡利斯特拉图斯大人,你要求见克洛托卡塔克斯殿下,可惜的是他现在并不在军营,没法见你。”
