“简直是荒谬!”马尔多尼奥斯大声打断特瑞巴苏斯的话,气愤的斥责道:“未战就撤退,任由敌人占领我们的国土已经是够丢脸了!还要让我们自己去驱赶民众,破坏他们的财物,你是嫌他们不够厌恶军队、想激他们起来暴乱吗!”„King, the Theoniaarmyviolates a border, situationto be tensenow, TerryBassouswill only disrupt the kingdomwiththislaughablescheme, affects the armycombat, Irequested that conducts tohimpunisheslayer on layer/heavily!”HalperGossealsoinitiatesimmediatelyscolded.
“大王,如今戴奥尼亚大军犯境、局势紧张,特瑞巴苏斯用这种可笑的计谋只会扰乱王国,影响军队作战,我请求对他进行重重处罚!”哈尔珀格斯也随即发起责难。Artaxerxessamesurfacepresentunhesitating, butremembersTerryBassousconsistentlyquiteto have the strategy, ishisfavored minister, is suppressing the unhappiness in heart, asking that coldly: „Does TerryBassous, whywantthis?”阿尔塔薛西斯同样面现不豫,但想起特瑞巴苏斯一向颇有智谋,又是他的宠臣,强忍着心中的不快,冷冷的问道:“特瑞巴苏斯,为什么要这样做?”TerryBassousdisregardsMuldorNiaositheirscolding, facial expressiontranquilsaying: „ King, KingTheoniais a greedyperson, heannexedcity-stateover the past dozens years, controlledentirewestMediterranean. Thisheinvades the kingdomtime, does not wantto occupyAsia Minor, Syria, PhoeniciaandCanaan, hisgoalinevitablyisourentirekingdom, thereforeheshipped about 200,000armiesfrom the thousand li (500 km).
特瑞巴苏斯无视马尔多尼奥斯他们的责难,神情平静的说道:“大王,戴奥尼亚国王是个贪婪的人,过去几十年他吞并了一个又一个城邦,控制了整个西地中海。这一次他入侵王国,绝不只是想要占领小亚细亚、叙利亚、腓尼基、迦南,他的目标必然是我们的整个王国,所以他从千里之外运来了近20万大军。Howeverthese200,000army'sdailyconsumptionsare huge, solelydepends upontheseareas that heseizesto provide the suppliesisnot enough, butwesternMediterraneanfromthousand li (500 km)ships in the grain and commodity, the transit routeis long, mustconsumelots oftime and manpower, oncelet alone the TheoniaarmycontinuesfromSyriatoeastadvances, the transportation and replenishmentwill be more difficult, best the wayregarding the Theoniaarmyreceivesto blow the grain and commodity.
但是这20万大军每一天的消耗都非常巨大,仅仅依靠他所占领的这几个地区提供补给是远远不够的,而从千里之外的西地中海运来粮食和物资,运输路线过于漫长,要消耗大量的时间和人力,更何况一旦戴奥尼亚军队从叙利亚继续向东推进,运输补给将会更为困难,对于戴奥尼亚军队而言最好的办法就是就地收刮粮食和物资。
The Mesopotamiarichest in the world, the peoplejustcomplete the food harvestnow, can definitely meet the needs of Theoniaarmy, but- ” TerryBassoussaidwith emphasis: „Oncewetakethesemeasures that Isaida moment ago, exhibiting to strengthen the defenses and clear the fieldsandreturn to base the Babylonstance, thatKingTheoniawill certainly worry, becausehewill be worried after hisarmycaptures the Mesopotamiaplain, is unable to obtain the supplies, butBabylonis the famousfirmcity, there is a defensewith large army, is nottheirshorttimecanattack and capture, toavoidhaving the sobadcondition, hewill certainly initiated an attack, seeksfights a decisive battlewithus!”美索不达米亚富甲天下,现在民众又刚刚完成粮食丰收,完全可以满足戴奥尼亚军队的需要,但是-”特瑞巴苏斯加重语气说道:“一旦我们采取了我刚才所说的那些措施,摆出要坚壁清野、回防巴比伦的姿态,那个戴奥尼亚国王一定会非常着急,因为他会担心他的军队攻入美索不达米亚平原之后根本无法就地获得补给,而巴比伦是著名的坚城,又有重兵防御,不是他们短时间能够攻克的,所以为了避免出现如此糟糕的状况,他一定会主动出击,寻求与我们决战!”„Hehe, saidsuchsimply, but the Theoniaarmywas not swindledby some chance, withdrawsas in the campmotionless!”Orontesis sneering, raised the question.
“呵呵,说得这么简单,可万一戴奥尼亚军队不上当,依旧龟缩在营地里不动呢!”奥戎塔斯冷笑着,提出质疑。„Hasn't SirOrontes, youunderstood what is heardmymeaning?”TerryBassous is also sneering the response: „ThatKingTheonia the thousand li (500 km)expedites, wantsto conquer our hugekingdom, can only the quick victory, maintain such a hugemilitarynot to takeanyactionat the Syrianareafor a long time, the bigconsumptionTheonianational strength, thatKingTheoniasowill not be only stupid!”
“奥戎塔斯大人,你还没有听明白我的意思吗?”特瑞巴苏斯同样冷笑着回应:“那个戴奥尼亚国王千里远征,想要征服我们这个庞大的王国,只能速胜,长时间在叙利亚地区维持这么庞大的一支兵力而不采取任何行动,只会大大的消耗戴奥尼亚的国力,那个戴奥尼亚国王不会这么蠢!”„After perhapshewill wait forGreekAllied armiesmeet, toeastattacks.”HalperGossethenraised the question.
“也许他会等待希腊联军会合之后再向东进攻。”哈尔珀格斯接着提出质疑。„Wecanhaveenoughtimeto withdrawwest ofBabylonallpeople, does not give the Theoniaarmyto leave behindgrain of grain, then the lineuphugeTheoniaarmymustmarch more than 1000li (0.5 km), goes toBabylon, is unable nearbyto obtain the supplieson the way, butourpowerfulcavalries can also bypass the main force of Theoniaarmy, perhapsunremitting attacktheirmilitary baggagetransport teams, as the matter stands, the Theoniaarmyhas not arrived atBabylon, will collapse...... thatambitiousKingTheonia not to seethissituationemergence, thereforeIthink that hewill certainly command the armyto pursue!”
“那我们可以有足够的时间撤走巴比伦以西的所有民众,不给戴奥尼亚军队留下一粒粮食,那么阵容更加庞大的戴奥尼亚军队要行军一千多里,前往巴比伦,途中无法就近获得补给,而我们强大的骑兵还可以绕过戴奥尼亚军队的主力,不断攻击他们的辎重运输队,这样一来,恐怕戴奥尼亚军队还没有到达巴比伦,就会崩溃……那位野心勃勃的戴奥利亚国王是绝不愿意看到这种情况出现,所以我认为他一定会率军追来!”HalperGossescoffsto say with a smile: „Certainlywill pursue?! TerryBassous, Theonianis notyoursubordinate, will listen toyourwords, these that yousaidguessed,but the kingdomactuallymustact according to your guesses, pays such bigprice, thisis unworthy!”
哈尔珀格斯嗤笑道:“一定会追来?!特瑞巴苏斯,戴奥尼亚人不是你的手下,会这么听你的话,你所说的这些不过都是猜测,而王国却要根据你的这些猜测,付出这么大的代价,这根本不值得!”Ironicsay/way that TerryBassousalsorefuses to admit being inferior: „SirHalperGossestartsto carepeople that unexpectedlyMesopotamiaplain, thisalso is really rare! Iremember the army that youleadhas the disputeto be mostwiththisarea'speople, after the kingpromulgates the newmilitary orderalsorefuses to mend despite repeated admonition.”
特瑞巴苏斯也不甘示弱的反讽道:“哈尔珀格斯大人居然开始关心美索不达米亚平原的民众了,这还真是难得!我记得你所率领的军队是与这个地区的民众发生纠纷最多的,在大王颁布新的军令之后还屡教不改。”HalperGossebecomes angry out of shame, curses angrily: „Youare anything, dares-”
哈尔珀格斯恼羞成怒,怒骂道:“你是个什么东西,竟敢-”„Good!”Artaxerxesmakes an effortto pat the seat, shoutedwith deep veneration: „Hereis notyourailsanddemonstrates the private grudgesmutually the place! TerryBassous, youdetermined that the Theoniaarmywill leave the camp, to conduct the decisive battlewithuson own initiative?!”
“好啦!”阿尔塔薛西斯用力拍着座椅,肃然喝道:“这里不是你们互相谩骂、展示私怨的地方!特瑞巴苏斯,你确定戴奥尼亚军队会离开营地、主动与我们进行决战吗?!”
After thatargueda moment ago, saw that the MuldorNiaosithreepeoplesilentsneerin the one side, TerryBassoushas been unable to back down, hedeeplyinspires, saidresolutely: „The plan that so long asaccording tomesaida moment agoimplements, the Theoniaarmywill be certainly driving! Wewill pay a bigprice, so long ascandefeat the Theoniaarmy, thenkingyou not only can regainSyria, Phoenicia, Canaan and Asia MinorwestandCyprus, but can also seize the chanceto recaptureEgypt, controlsGreece, threatens the Theonianative placeagain......, thereforeall these are worth!”
在经过刚才那一番争辩之后,又看到马尔多尼奥斯三人在一旁无声冷笑,特瑞巴苏斯已经是骑虎难下,他深吸了口气,毅然说道:“只要按照我刚才所说的计划实行,戴奥尼亚军队一定会主动出来!我们是会付出了不小的代价,但只要能够击败戴奥尼亚军队,那么大王您不但能够收复叙利亚、腓尼基、迦南、小亚细亚西部、塞浦路斯,还可以趁机夺回埃及,重新控制希腊,再次威胁戴奥尼亚本土……所以这一切都是值得的!”DefeatedTheonia, to recaptureEgypt, to controlGreece, to retrieval the easternMediterraneanhegemony...... TerryBassous'swordsto moveArtaxerxes, thisoldkinghopeachieves a magnificentsuccess, scrubs the failure that hesufferedin the past, butthisdecisionwas importantafter all, hea littlehesitated, will therefore look at the silenttrusted aideto love: Paceyraises, whatview do youhave? ”
击败戴奥尼亚、夺回埃及、掌控希腊、重获东地中海的霸权……特瑞巴苏斯的话打动了阿尔塔薛西斯,这位年迈的君王渴望获得一场辉煌的胜利,来洗刷他以往所遭遇的失败,但这个决定毕竟事关重大,他还有点犹豫,于是将目光投向一直沉默不语的心腹爱将:佩西提达伊,你有什么看法?”Paceyraisedto haveself-knowledge, althoughhisstatuswas also prominent, butcompared withthesekingdomhigh-ranking court officials, stillfell far short, thereforehedid not planto participate during thesegreat people'squarrels, butnowfacing the inquiry of Persian king, consideringoneselfandTerryBassousis the officials close to the thrones of king, usuallyTerryBassousalsoquitehad the attendancetooneself, heconsideredto say a word, tactfulsaying: „King, the advantage of ourarmylies in the cavalry and archer, ifattacks the Theoniacamp, the cavalrydefinitelyis unable to play the role, the might of archerconsiderablyis also weaken. Ifcantempt the Theoniaarmyto engage in a decisive battleinMesopotamia, the broadplaincanmake the cavalrygallopwillfully, enabling the arrowarrowto be ablenotby any shoots towardsenemy of hindrance, wewill have confidencewins.”
佩西提达伊有自知之明,虽然他的身份也算显赫,但和这几位王国重臣相比,仍然差得远,所以他本不打算参与到这几位大人物的争吵之中,但现在面对波斯王的询问,考虑到自己和特瑞巴苏斯都是国王的近臣,平时特瑞巴苏斯对自己也颇有照顾,他斟酌了一下言语,委婉的说道:“大王,我们军队的优势在于骑兵和弓箭手,如果攻打戴奥尼亚营地,骑兵完全无法发挥作用,弓箭手的威力也大大减弱。而如果能够引诱戴奥尼亚军队在美索不达米亚进行会战,广阔的平原可以让骑兵任意驰骋,让箭矢可以不受任何阻碍的射向敌人,我们将更有把握获得胜利。”Artaxerxesnods, is hesitatinga moment later, sets firm resolvefinally, helooks all around the people, enhances the volumesuddenly, making the soundsomewhathoarse: „Idecided that- acceptsTerryBassous'ssuggestion, peripheral and westpeopleallwithdrawsBerthaCousse, burns downallvillages, destroysBerthaCoussecity, simultaneouslyallarmieswithdrawtoNiceyFonniinferior (Asia)-”阿尔塔薛西斯点了点头,在沉吟片刻之后,终于下定决心,他环顾众人,骤然提高音量,使得声音有些沙哑:“我决定-采纳特瑞巴苏斯的建议,将塔波萨库斯周边及其以西的民众全部撤走,焚烧所有的村庄,破坏塔波萨库斯城,同时所有部队后撤至尼塞丰尼亚-”Saw that the MuldorNiaosithreepeoplewantto speak, hewavesto stopimmediately, simultaneouslysharp-eyedlookstoTerryBassous, saidsternly: „IfTheoniaarmynotas you saidsuchpursues, butcontinuesto withdrawin the camp, Iwill not continueto carry outsuchmeasureagain, butyou- mycertainly notlightbonus!”
看到马尔多尼奥斯三人想要发言,他立刻挥手制止,同时目光锐利的看向特瑞巴苏斯,厉声说道:“如果戴奥尼亚军队并没有如你所说的那样追上来,而是继续龟缩在营地内,我是不会再继续执行这样的措施,而你-我也绝不会轻饶!”ArtaxerxesonlyacceptedTerryBassoushalf ofsuggestions, has no recourse, for these yearsattacked the rebellion of failureandAsia Minor of Egypt, to lose the controland other series offailuretoGreecemakes the Artaxerxesprestigelose, subjectto be discontentedgreatly, thereforethisheonlydaresto make the smallattempttime, butdoes not dareto make the residents on mostMesopotamiaplainbe homeless, avoidancefell intocompletelypassivelybyoneself.阿尔塔薛西斯只采纳了特瑞巴苏斯一半的建议,也是迫不得已,这几年来进攻埃及的失败、小亚细亚的叛乱、失去对希腊的控制等一系列的失败使得阿尔塔薛西斯的威望大失、臣民不满,所以这一次他只敢作小小的尝试,而不敢让大半个美索不达米亚平原上的居民都无家可归,避免让自己完全陷入被动。AlthoughTerryBassousis a little disappointed, buthe is also that clear the reasonPersian kingdoes that therefore can only do intentionallyconfidentacceptance. ButMuldorNiaositheyas ifsaw the miserable fate of political opponent, no longerquestioned. The Persiaarmyupper echelonsreached an agreementlike this.
特瑞巴苏斯虽然有点失望,但他也清楚波斯王这么做的原因,所以只能故作坦然的接受。而马尔多尼奥斯他们仿佛看到了政敌的悲惨下场,也都不再质疑。波斯军队高层就这样达成了一致。........................................................................

在听完了伊扎姆介绍波斯军队的详细情况之后,所有在任的戴奥尼亚军团长都强烈要求尽快与波斯大军进行决战,而在退役的老将们中除了菲利修斯和吉奥格里斯比较谨慎、希望能够等待与希腊联军汇合之后再行动之外,阿莱克西斯,阿明塔斯等人也提出“应该趁着己方军队士气正盛、而波斯军队的组织还较混乱之际,尽快率军东进,寻找战机”。
The high-ranking military officersfightintentabundant, strengthened the determination of Davos.
将官们战意盎然,也坚定了戴弗斯的决心。

第二天他下达了“准备东进的命令之后,各军团士兵开始打点行李,各辎重营开始装载物资,工程营检查各种设备和预备一些木料……Meanwhile, DavosalsoinformsTheoniaCombined Fleetcommandermeter/riceDorotheus: Leads the fleetto catch up with the campas soon as possible, after waiting for the Theoniaarmyto leave, allfleetinfantriestake over control ofthis/shouldcampimmediately, toguarantee the security of rear base.
与此同时,戴弗斯还通知戴奥尼亚联合舰队指挥官米多拉德斯:尽快率舰队赶来营地,等戴奥尼亚军队离开之后,所有舰队步兵立即接管该营地,以确保后方基地的安全。Althoughsaid that the Theoniaarmyis well-trained, but a hugearmymustgo to the strangebattlefield, launch the attackto the Persiaarmy, isneedsto plan the arrangement and rigorousactionorganizationin detail, thereforespent34days of time, the Theoniaarmypreparedeast-bound.
虽然说戴奥尼亚军队训练有素,但是如此庞大的一支军队要前往陌生的战地、向波斯军队发起进攻,是需要详细的策划安排和严谨的行动组织,因此足足花了三四天时间,戴奥尼亚全军才做好了东进的准备。

而等到第五天军队主力开拔之时,侦骑急匆匆的赶回汇报:盘踞在塔波萨库斯附近的波斯大军正在驱赶当地的民众向东撤退,同时他们还焚烧田地和村庄、甚至在破坏塔波萨库斯城……ThisnewsmakesDavosbe startled, buthehas not therefore ceased the action of army, to hold the military conference, to discuss that Persiansthis actiswhatintention.
这个消息让戴弗斯吃了一惊,但他并没有因此停止全军的行动、重新召开军事会议、商讨波斯人此举到底是何用意。In his opinion: No matterPersiansstrengthens the defenses and clears the fieldsandretreatsin the choice the tactic of defense, withcheatingto draw backto tempt the Theoniaarmyto advance recklessly, not onlywill not change the plan of Theoniaarmy, insteadwill strengthenwithit conducts the determination of battle.
在他看来:不管波斯人是在选择坚壁清野、撤退防御的战术,还是用诈退来引诱戴奥尼亚军队冒进,不但不会改变戴奥尼亚军队的行动计划,反而会增强与之进行会战的决心。
