而此刻卡里阿斯走进另一个军帐,克洛托卡塔克斯和普林托尔斯正等在那里。卡里阿斯说了谎,他俩并没有前往阿哥斯,实际上克洛托克卡塔克斯可以直接拒绝与雅典使者见面,只是这位守礼的王子却认为这么做对像雅典这样的城邦来说是一种羞辱,所以才找了这么一个理由,而且还可以用“阿哥斯投降”这件事来刺激雅典。„Callias II, result of negotiationshow?”Asking that Crotokataxis interested.
“卡里阿斯,谈判的结果如何?”克洛托卡塔克斯感兴趣的问道。„Your highness, this Athenschiefgeneralsaid that mustgo backthis matterto discuss, butIthought that Athenswill not comply.”Callias IIsaidoneselfjudgmenttruthfully.
“殿下,这位雅典的首席将军说是要回去就此事进行商讨,但我觉得雅典不会答应。”卡里阿斯如实的说出自己的判断。„Athensfacedso the difficult position, theyhave not plannedto surrender, prepared and Athenscitydestroystogether?!”Crotokatax is not only surprised, andsomewhatregretted, althoughhecannotenter the Theoniaacademy, butsince childhood in the Thuriischoolstudies the resulthas been good, because the mostteaching material came from Athens, particularly the grammarrhetoric and speech( Athenianscreated the Greekcivilizationafter allmagnificent), makinginhishearthave a favorable impressiontoAthens.
“雅典都面临如此困境了,他们还不打算投降,难道准备和雅典城一起毁灭吗?!”克洛托卡塔克斯既感到惊讶、又有些惋惜,虽然他未能进入戴奥尼亚学园,但从小在图里伊学校读书时成绩一直不错,由于大半的教材都来自于雅典,尤其是文法修辞和演讲(毕竟雅典人创造了希腊文明的辉煌),让他心中一直对雅典有所好感。„Athenshad worked as the overlord in Greeceafter all, now is also the strongnation that Greeceranks among the best, is unwilling the mood of admitting defeat to understand.”PurinTowlesseeshisthoughts, reminded: „We , to attackAthens, but must firstattack and captureCorinth.”
“雅典毕竟曾经当过希腊的霸主,如今也是希腊数一数二的强邦,不甘心就此认输的心情可以理解。”普林托尔斯看出他的心思,提醒道:“不过我们要想进攻雅典,还得首先攻克科林斯。”„But the Corinthcitytall wallis thick, to attack and captureitin a short time, perhapsis not easy.”Although the Crotokatax words saying, but hope the vision of wingto go toPurinTowles.
“可是科林斯城高墙厚,要想在短时间内将其攻克,恐怕并不容易。”克洛托卡塔克斯话虽这么说,但还是将希翼的目光投向普林托尔斯。„Your highnesssaidright, the Corinthcitylike the commonGreekcity, itscitydefense facilityafter the carefulconstruction, does not pass throughoneto struggle hardobviouslyisimpossibleto capturehim.”PurinTowlesfacial expressionserioussaying.
“殿下说得没错,科林斯城不像一般的希腊城池,它的城池防御设施显然经过精心的建造,不经过一番苦战是不可能将其攻下的。”普林托尔斯神情郑重的说道。„Ithinkthispossiblyduring the pastCorinthwar the Spartaallied armiesstormCorinthcitywas for successive several years related, the Corinthpersonpassed throughthatferociousdefensewar, certainlyhow to defend the Corinthcityto havemanyexperiences.”Callias IIsaidin the one sidedigression.
“我想这可能跟当年科林斯战争期间斯巴达联军连续几年强攻科林斯城有关吧,科林斯人经过了那一场激烈的守城战争,一定对如何守住科林斯城有了更多的经验。”卡里阿斯在一旁插话道。„Thissomewhatwas troublesome......”Crotokataxto lookto worry the color, in moststartedDavosto makehimbe the expeditionarmycommandershisalsosomedid not prefer, butdisciplinedafterthese daysbattlefieldprofession, henot onlyadapted to the battlefieldlife, but also samestarted the honor that enjoyed the battlefieldsuccessfullyto bringwithotherhigh-ranking military officers, thereforehistrulysomewantedto go northat this timeeagerlywithPatroclusjoin forces, sharingconquered the glory of Athensthisgreat city.
“这就有些麻烦了呀……”克洛托卡塔克斯面露愁色,虽然在最开始戴弗斯让其担任远征军队指挥官时他还有些不情愿,但经过这一段时间的战场生涯磨练,他不但适应了战场生活,而且也和其他将官一样开始享受战场胜利带来的荣光,所以此时他确实有些急于想要北上与帕特洛克罗斯会师,共享征服雅典这座伟大城市的荣耀。At this time the guardenteredyour letterreport: „LübranchMeidesiseeks an interview.”
这时卫兵进来禀报:“吕科美德斯求见。”„Askedhimto come inquickly!”Crotokataxsaid,immediatelyreorganizes a clothing, welcomedto the tent/accountentrance.
“快请他进来!”克洛托卡塔克斯说完,立刻整理了一下着装,迎向帐门口。Crotokataxsocourteous receptionLübranchMeidesi, is not only becauseLübranchMeidesiisMantinea'shead, butMantineaispresentTheoniaon the Peloponnesepeninsulafirmest, is the onlyally( beautifulSeniaandRagognanowadaysbyTheoniacontroltwoareas, obeys the direction of Theoniacompletely, is not countedisallied country, Argosis forcedto surrender, stillwaits fortestloyally), becauseandLübranchMeidesicommands the armyto join the Theoniaarmypersonally, participatedto the combat of Argosarmy, aftercatches the whole lot in a dragnet the Argosarmy, healsotoCrotokataxproposed that „is willingto sayfallsArgos”, andfinallyis successful, thereforeCrotokatax. Will regard as importanthimespecially.克洛托卡塔克斯如此礼遇吕科美德斯,不光是因为吕科美德斯是曼丁尼亚的首脑,而曼丁尼亚是如今戴奥尼亚在伯罗奔尼撒半岛上最坚定的、也是唯一的盟友(美塞尼亚和拉格尼亚现今是被戴奥尼亚控制的两个地区,完全听从戴奥尼亚的指挥,不算作是盟邦,阿哥斯被迫投降,忠诚还有待考验),而且还因为吕科美德斯亲自率军加入戴奥尼亚军队,参与了对阿哥斯军队的作战,在将阿哥斯军队一网打尽之后,他还主动向克洛托卡塔克斯提出“愿意去说降阿哥斯”,并且最后获得成功,因此克洛托卡塔克斯才会格外看重他。„Your HighnessCrotokatax, Iwantsto solicityourpermission, went saying that fellCorinth.”
“克洛托卡塔克斯殿下,我想征得你的允许,前去说降科林斯。”LübranchMeidesi is really I hadn't had business I wouldn't have come, opened the mouthto giveCrotokataxto be pleasantly surprised, hewas busy atasking: „SirLübranchMeidesi, youhad confidence that lets the CorinthpersonKaesongsurrender?”
吕科美德斯果然是无事不登三宝殿,一开口就给了克洛托卡塔克斯惊喜,他忙问道:“吕科美德斯大人,你有把握让科林斯人开城投降?”LübranchMeidesiearnestsaying: „ Ido not have the fullassurance, butcantry. Iabout the Corinthpersonalsoquiteknew that do not look atCorinthis a strongnation, but the Corinthpersonis not good atfighting, theydo not have the fertilelandto cultivate, onlydependence conducts the sea and landtradeusing the isthmus, therefore the Corinthpersonmostlyis good atdoing business, theyhave nothingto insist, mostexcelstrims one's sails, forownbenefit, evencanmakeanyincrediblematter.
吕科美德斯认真的说道:“我没有十足的把握,但是可以试一试。我对科林斯人还比较了解的,别看科林斯是一个强邦,但科林斯人并不擅长战斗,他们没有肥沃的土地可以耕作,唯一依靠的就是利用地峡进行海上和陆地的贸易,所以科林斯人大多擅长经商,他们没有什么坚持,最擅长的就是见风使舵,为了自身的利益,甚至可以做出任何令人难以置信的事来。Iinoff-balanceheardyouto discuss the Corinthwara moment ago, actuallyinitially the Corinthpersoncanstall of the attack of Spartaallied armiesfor a long time, whatwere morewasdepends uponAthens and the unceasingsupport of Thebesarmyandcommodity, butat that timealso some lot ofCorinthpeoplejoined upquietly, surrenderedtoSpartapersonKaesong, ifwere not the reinforcementis prompt, thatlogic of war is completely different.
刚才我在帐外听到你们谈论科林斯战争,其实当初科林斯人之所以能够长期挡住斯巴达联军的进攻,更多的是依靠雅典和底比斯军队和物资的不断支援,而当时还有不少科林斯民众悄悄的联合起来,向斯巴达人开城投降,如果不是增援及时,那一场战争的结果就完全不同了。Butnowwehave beatenGreekAllied armies, Peloponnesebasicallyare also controlledbyus, butIheard that anotherin the Theoniaarmy that Thessalylands, has united the Thebespersonevento captureAttica. As the matter stands, Corinthpersonnot onlydid not have the dependence, will also be facing the hugedanger of both sidesconverging attack, Ithink that the intelligentCorinthpersonshouldsee clearly the situationatthis time, notstupidpreventsusto go north. ”
而现在我们已经击败了希腊联军,伯罗奔尼撒也已经基本被我们掌控,而我听说另一支在塞萨利登陆的戴奥尼亚军队,已经联合底比斯人甚至攻入了阿提卡。这样一来,科林斯人不但没有了依靠,而且还将面临着两面夹击的巨大危险,我想聪明的科林斯人在这时候应该会看清形势,不会愚蠢的阻挡我们北上。”„Good! Thattroubles the Siryouto go toCorinthagainpersonally!”Crotokataxhappysaying.
“太好了!那就麻烦大人你再亲自去一趟科林斯!”克洛托卡塔克斯高兴的说道。„Listened to the words of SirLübranchMeidesi, Ihave a smallsuggestion.”PurinTowlesinterposed: „The Athensenvoycame the campto request that a moment ago the trucesums-”
“听了吕科美德斯大人的话,我有一个小小的建议。”普林托尔斯插话道:“刚才雅典使者来营地请求停战求和-”„Can Athenianssurrenderquickly?!”LübranchMeidesiis somewhat surprised.
“雅典人这么快就要投降了?!”吕科美德斯有些惊讶。„Theyrequest the truce, butwas rejectedbyus . Moreover the AthensenvoyisCallistratus.”Callias IIsaid.
“他们只是要求停战,但被我们拒绝,而且雅典使者是卡利斯特拉图斯。”卡里阿斯说道。
After LübranchMeidesilistens, in the heartmoves, immediatelylooks the happy expression: „Iunderstood, Iwill mentionthis matterbefore the Corinthperson, believes that canconvincethemto fall!”
吕科美德斯听后,心中一动,顿时面露喜色:“我明白了,我会在科林斯人面前提及此事,相信更能够说服他们来降!”LübranchMeidesipublished the armytent/account, directly soars the Corinthcity. OncehebestowedTigerinferior (Asia)territorytoTheoniatoMantinea'sapproachis somewhat discontented, becausethisdirectlycausedMantineabyotherAkaDiazcity-stateisolatedconsequences, butthings have gotten to this point, LübranchMeidesihas toaccept the reality, andtransformed the idearapidly, firmconsidering„closelyfollowedTheoniais the DeanSyria'sonly way out!”
吕科美德斯出了军帐,就直奔科林斯城。曾经他对戴奥尼亚将泰格亚领地赠送给曼丁尼亚的做法有些不满,因为这直接导致了曼丁尼亚被阿卡狄亚其他城邦孤立的后果,但是事已至此,吕科美德斯不得不接受现实,并且迅速转变想法,坚定的认为“只有紧紧跟随戴奥尼亚才是曼丁利亚的唯一出路!”
When the TheoniaarmywithdrawsRagognaandGreekAllied armiessurroundMantinea, isheconvinced the people, has always perseveredandnot surrendered, welcomedtoday'sexcellent situation. Nowheonlyhopes that the completelymaximumeffort, makingTheoniaachieve the success of Greekwaras soon as possible, thuscashes inTheoniatoMantinea'spromise.
所以当戴奥尼亚军队撤回拉格尼亚、希腊联军包围曼丁尼亚之时,是他说服了民众,始终坚守、没有投降,才迎来了今天的大好局面。现在他只希望尽自己最大的努力,让戴奥尼亚尽快获得希腊战争的胜利,从而兑现戴奥尼亚对曼丁尼亚的诺言。
The Corinthpersonis truly intelligent, althoughCallistratusfalsely asserted that „hesees the remains of AthenscitizenCommanderTheoniawasin order togets back dead in battle”, butthiscould not deceivethem, theyhave known„the TheoniaarmycapturedAttica”news, thereforesuspected that Atheniansthiswaswants the truceto negotiate peace, ifAthenianssurrendered, Corinthcontinuedto persevere to be a fool!科林斯人确实聪明,尽管卡利斯特拉图斯诡称“他去见戴奥尼亚指挥官是为了能够领回战死的雅典公民的遗体”,但这骗不了他们,他们已经知道“戴奥尼亚军队攻入阿提卡”的消息,因此怀疑雅典人这是想要停战议和,而如果雅典人都投降了,科林斯继续坚守可就是个傻子了!WhenLübranchMeidesienters a city, after the Corinthhigh-levelexplanationpurpose in coming, theyare wishing for earnestly.
所以当吕科美德斯进城、向科林斯高层说明来意后,他们正求之不得。
The request that let aloneTheoniasetwas very easyto accepttoCorinth: JoinsnewGreekAlliance that the Theoniasacredkingdomleads.
更何况戴奥尼亚提出的要求对科林斯来说很容易接受:加入戴奥尼亚神圣王国所主导的新希腊联盟。LübranchMeidesihas not raised„letsCorinthdissolves the alliance” requirement, before helobbiedArgoshas not put forwardthisrequest, in factTheoniaonlyhad the requesttoAthens, becauseAthensmarineunionnot onlyincludedmanyislands on Aegean Sea, but alsoMacedoniaandThraceareacoastcity-stateandinyoudifficult adversaryinto the sea|nautical milecoastalcity-state of alsohad some allied countries, thisrange was too broad, this has a mind unable to permitinseriesMediterraneanDavos.
吕科美德斯没有提“让科林斯解散自己联盟”的要求,之前他游说阿哥斯时也没有提这个要求,实际上戴奥尼亚只对雅典有要求,因为雅典的海上同盟不但囊括了爱琴海上的很多岛屿,而且马其顿、色雷斯地区沿海城邦和攸克星海里的沿海城邦中也有一些它的盟邦,这个范围就太广了,这是有心于一统地中海的戴弗斯所不能允许的。JoinsnewGreekAllianceandjoins the PeloponneseallianceandGreekAlliance, regardinghas reducedfor the generalstrongnation, notoobigambitionCorinthandis no different, even the Corinthpersonalsofelt: Thiswill instead have very bigadvantageto the Corinthfutureseaborne commerce, becausesinceTheoniahas established, CorinthisinGreeceandTheoniatrade associationmanycity-state.
加入新希腊联盟和加入伯罗奔尼撒联盟、希腊联盟,对于已经沦落为一般强邦、没什么太大野心的科林斯来说并无什么不同,甚至科林斯人还觉得:这样反而会对科林斯将来的海上贸易有很大的好处,因为自从戴奥尼亚建立以来,科林斯就是希腊本土上与戴奥尼亚贸易来往最多的城邦。Crotokataxleads the armysmoothlyto enterCorinth, goes northalong the isthmuseastcoast, quickclose toisthmusincity-stateMegara.克洛托卡塔克斯率领军队顺利进入科林斯,紧接着沿着地峡东部海岸北上,很快就接近了地峡中部的城邦麦加拉。Megarasouthern and northernboth sideshave the mountain ridgeto take the barrier, ifithas a mindto defend, canprevent the Theoniaarmysome time, but the Megaranorth and Atticaareaborders on, couple days ago the city-statepeoplejustexperienced the Athenssoldierto retreat, the Theoniaarmyto invadeAttica'sscenedistressedlyin a threatening manner, the scaredMegarapersondoes not think that small and weakcanresist the both sidesconverging attack of powerfulTheoniaarmy, underCorinthperson'spersuasion, Megaralittle darlingjoinednewGreekAlliance.麦加拉南、北两面都有山岭作为屏障,如果它有心防御,是可以阻挡戴奥尼亚军队一段时间的,但是麦加拉北部与阿提卡地区接壤,前几天城邦的民众刚刚见识了雅典士兵狼狈溃逃、戴奥尼亚军队气势汹汹的侵入阿提卡的场景,胆寒的麦加拉人不认为弱小的自己能够抵挡强大的戴奥尼亚军队的两面夹击,在科林斯人的劝说下,麦加拉乖乖的加入了新希腊联盟。Crotokataxcommands the armywith easeacross the Megaraterritory, enters the Atticaarea, successfullyjoins forceswith the Patroclusarmy.克洛托卡塔克斯率军轻松穿过麦加拉领地,进入阿提卡地区,和帕特洛克罗斯的军队胜利会师。
The Athenscitizensintopnoticed that the Theoniamilitary compound outside citycame an enormous and powerfulTheoniaarmy, feels the palpitation.
在城头上的雅典公民们看到城外的戴奥尼亚军营又来了一支浩浩荡荡的戴奥尼亚军队,都感到心悸。Inthese days that Callistratusleaves, in the Athenscityhas been conducting the urgentmilitary mobilization, the citizen and foreigner who gentlemenallcanbattlewere organized( Athensto havemassiveoutsideto tie upperson, theysettle downinAtticafor a long time, payspayment of taxeslikecitizen, evenalsofulfillssomeduties of service, butdoes not have the Athenscivil rights), preparesto defend. Not only need safeguard the security of Athenscity, to havecompared withPiraeus and the longwall of connectionharborandcity.
在卡利斯特拉图斯离开的这几天里,雅典城内一直在进行紧急的军事动员,所有能作战的公民和外邦人士都被组织起来(雅典有大量的外绑人,他们长期定居在阿提卡,像公民一样缴纳赋税,甚至还承担部分服役的义务,但始终没有雅典公民权),准备进行防御。不光是要保障雅典城的安全、还有比雷埃夫斯港以及连接港口和城区的长墙。ButseveralAthenswell-knownoratorsheaded byIsocratesmanyplacesspokeinAthenscityAgramarketandDiRussia , NepalSos Theater, Athenasquareand the others in repeatedly, encouraged the citizens and public figure of foreign nationalitydefendsAthens, foughtwith the Theoniaarmybravely.
而以伊索克拉底为首的好几位雅典知名演说家多次在雅典城的阿戈拉市场、狄俄尼索斯剧院、雅典娜广场等人多的地方进行演讲,激励公民们和外籍人士保卫雅典,勇敢地同戴奥尼亚军队战斗。
