MoreoverDavosonceworried- in the situation of namelyhowin the Persianswith large armydefensemade the armycrossbroadEuphrates riversmoothly, butas a result ofwithdrawing of Persiaarmy, thisworriednot to exist.
而且戴弗斯曾经有一个担忧-即如何在波斯人重兵防御的情况下让军队顺利渡过宽阔的幼发拉底河,但由于波斯军队的后撤,这个担忧不复存在。Inthese daystime, the projectcamphad put upthreewooden bridgesin the campfrontAoRongTees River, in150,000soldierveryorderlycrossingSyriaAoRongTees River, enormous and powerfulmarches forwardtoeastdirectly.
在这几天的时间内,工程营已经在营地前方的奥戎提斯河上搭起了三座木桥,15万名士兵很有秩序的渡过叙利亚境内的奥戎提斯河,浩浩荡荡的径直向东行进。Sixdayslater, the leading troopshad been close toBerthaCousse.
六天之后,先头部队已经接近了塔波萨库斯。In the mountain rangefromAsia Minorgallops, butEuphrates river, flowingfrom north to southin the westernmost of Mesopotamiaplain, andconvergesmanyriversone after another, formeda series ofbroadlakes, when toDattasBerthaCousse, itfoldstoeastflows, causingitsriver surfaceto squeezesuddenly, thusbecomes the Euphrates riverupstreambestfordingsection, the Persian kingcourtyardconnects the Asia Minorimperial roadto passfromhere, thereforecaused the prosperity of BerthaCoussecity.
从小亚细亚东部山脉中奔腾而出的幼发拉底河,由北至南的流淌在美索布达米亚平原的最西端,并且接连汇入多条河流,形成了一连串宽阔的湖泊,到达塔波萨库斯附近时,它折向东流,导致其河面骤然收窄,从而成为幼发拉底河上游最佳的渡河河段,波斯王庭连接小亚细亚的御道就是从这儿通过,也因此导致了塔波萨库斯城的繁荣。When the Theonialeading troopsrush to the Euphrates riverWest bank, the pleasantly surpriseddiscoveryPersiaarmyhas not burnt down the bateau-bridge of river bankwhenretreatingunexpectedly, moreoverthisbateau-bridgeis spacious, cansimultaneouslyhold10soldiersto pass throughabreast in row, omits the projectcampto build the labor of bateau-bridgeagain.
等戴奥尼亚先头部队赶到幼发拉底河西岸时,惊喜的发现波斯军队在撤退时居然没有烧毁河上的浮桥,而且这浮桥非常宽敞,能够同时容纳十名士兵并排走过,省去了工程营再多搭浮桥的辛苦。Next dayDavosfollows the army, arrived atwest bankEuphrates river. Hestopsstands and waits for a long timenear the bateau-bridge, the eyepoursis wearing the unpadded garment, to shoulder the soldiers who the weaponarmorwraps, ontheirfaceshassomeexpectation, the stepfirmsteppingbateau-bridge, crossedbroadEuphrates river, steps the strangeMesopotamiaplain......
第二天戴弗斯跟随中军,来到了幼发拉底河西岸。他停伫在浮桥边,目注着一个个身穿单衣、背负武器盔甲包裹的士兵们,他们的脸上带着某种憧憬,步履坚定的踏上浮桥,渡过宽阔的幼发拉底河,踏上陌生的美索不达米亚平原……Ridesdoes not attend to the weary, stiffupper bodyinimmediatelyDavos, the rightfistpastesin the left chest, looks solemn. Followshispalace guardalsoto turn toward the soldiersto salutein abundance.
骑在马上的戴弗斯不顾疲劳,挺直上身,右拳贴于左胸,神情肃穆。跟随他的宫廷卫队也纷纷向着士兵们行礼。Seesthisvia the soldiers of bridge head, firstissurprised, is then excited, butlong lineforwarddoes not allowanybodyto stopgoing forwardrolling, buton the shoulder the heavypackageandmakesthemleapnot to act, thereforethesemost probablyinTheoniawas born, under the innumerablevictoryglorygradually influence the youngsoldiers who growto gaze at the closekingdomfounders, to create the kingdomhighestmilitarycommand of multiplemilitarymiracleby the vision of incomparablerespect, excitedshouting loudly: „Your majestyfor victory!”
途经桥头的士兵们见到这一幕,先是惊讶,而后激动万分,但是滚滚向前的长龙不允许任何人停止前进,而肩上沉重的包裹又让他们腾不出手来,于是这些大半都是在戴奥尼亚出生、在无数胜利荣耀熏陶下成长起来的年轻士兵们以无比崇敬的目光注视着近在咫尺的王国缔造者、缔造多次军事奇迹的王国最高军事统帅,激动的高喊:“陛下万胜!”„Your majestyfor victory!...... Your majestyfor victory!!...... Your majestyfor victory!!! When......”juststarted the scattered aboutshoutgathers the samesoundquickly, reverberatesinthisbridge head, andrapidlytoteamarounddisseminates, knew the soldiers who newsjust likehit the stimulant, puts behindexhausted of making a long and wearisome journey, quickened the step of advance......
“陛下万胜!……陛下万胜!!……陛下万胜!!!……”刚开始时七零八落的喊声很快汇聚成同一个声音,回荡在这桥头,并迅速向队伍的前后传播,得知消息的士兵们犹如打了兴奋剂,忘却了长途跋涉的疲惫,加快了前进的步伐……Looks atthisexcitingone, Epiphanescannot bearsigh: „30years ago we are also here, just liketheselittle fellows, hopefulis stepping onthisbateau-bridge, enteredfront the bountifulMesopotamiaplain......”
看着这激动人心的一幕,埃皮忒尼斯忍不住感叹道:“30年前我们也是在这里,和这些小家伙一样,满怀希望的踩着这浮桥,进入了前面富饶的美索不达米亚平原……”„Don't forget, Menoledusas the armyvanguardat that time, but1st the Mesopotamiaplain of entry!”Partlylay downAmintasoncarriagecontinued, quiteproudsaying.
“别忘了,当时梅农率领我们作为全军的先锋,可是第一个进入的美索不达米亚平原!”半躺在马车上的阿明塔斯接过话头,颇为自豪的说道。Hislower limbparalysis, is unable to walk, ismade the servantlifthimto marchwith the woodenpalanquin, but the speedslow, is unable to follow the large unit, thereforeDavosspecially permitshimto take the small-scalehoodcarriage. Since the armylandsEgypt, becauseis unaccustomed to the climate, hisphysical conditionhas been unsatisfactory, maywork as the armyto stepin the pastCyrus the Youngerafter the route that Babylonmarches, hisspiritactuallybecamewell.
他下肢瘫痪,无法走路,原本是让奴仆用木轿抬着他行军,但速度缓慢、无法跟上大部队,因此戴弗斯特许他可以乘坐小型的敞篷马车。自从大军登陆埃及之后,由于水土不服,他的身体状况一直不佳,可当军队重新踏上当年小居鲁士向巴比伦进军的路线之后,他的精神却变得好起来了。„Amintas, thissayingyoualsofeel all rightto say!”Oncewassaying that Agasias of anothermercenariesteamdisdained: „In the pastMenorushed to work as the vanguard, said that mustexplore the wayfor the army, butwhounderstands that hewantsfirstto rush to the Mesopotamiaplainto plunder, thereforeCyrus the Youngeragreedhisrequest, thenissued the orderto the army, forbadeto plunderon the Mesopotamiaplain, were youverydisappointedat that time?”
“阿明塔斯,这话你还好意思说出口!”曾经属于另一支雇佣军队伍的阿加西亚不屑的说道:“当年梅农抢着要当先锋,说是要为军队探路,可谁都明白他不过是想最先赶到美索不达米亚平原上抢掠,所以小居鲁士同意了他的要求,然后向全军下达命令,禁止在美索不达米亚平原上抢掠,你们当时是不是感到很失望?”„Ihaveanythingwelldisappointed-”Amintasis just aboutto refute, suddenlythought ofanything, saidintentionallyloudly: „SheroNims, a moment agowhatyousaidis‚we’! Do not forget, in the pastyour majesty was also ‚we’one!”Saying, healsoreferred toDavos that in the frontstands out of respect.
“我有什么好失望的-”阿明塔斯正要反驳,突然想到了什么,故意大声说道:“希罗尼姆斯,你刚才说的是‘我们’吗!你可别忘了,当年陛下也是‘我们’中的一员!”说着,他还指了指在前方肃立的戴弗斯。Hearsthissaying, a littlefeels nervousinAgasias that inthisgroup of veteransalwaysdoes not show one's selfat this time, urgentlyargued: „Do not speak irresponsibly, I...... I-”
听到这话,在这帮老将中一向不显山不露水的阿加西亚此时有点发慌,急切辩解道:“你别乱说,我……我-”„Actually, wejoined the mercenariesin the past, isCyrus the Youngerdevotes life, alsotosurvive.”OncewasSheroNims of anothermercenariesleaderspokepromptly, reduced and solved the awkwardness of Agasias: „Even ifactuallyCyrus the Youngertosolve the anxiety of military expenses, stillonceallowedusto plunder the Asia Minorarearepeatedly, reason thatdoes not allowusto plunderMesopotamia, possiblyishethinks after hecaptured the throne , under Mesopotamiawill behewill rule the core area, thereforecannotmakeherepeoplebe resentfulabouthim.”
“其实吧,我们当年之所以加入雇佣军,为小居鲁士效命,也都是为了生存。”曾经是另一支雇佣军首领的希罗尼姆斯及时说话,化解了阿加西亚的尴尬:“其实就算是小居鲁士为了解决军费的紧张,也曾经允许我们多次抢掠小亚细亚地区,之所以不允许我们抢掠美索不达米亚,可能是他认为等他夺得王位之后美索不达米亚将是他统治之下的核心地区,因此不能让这里的民众对他心怀怨恨。”Alexiusheaved a deep sigh: „Asia Minorispart of Persianational territory, butCyrus the Younger, Artaxerxeshas not treasuredthatlength and breadth the land, insteadregards as the alien racetherepeople, demands everything, how the Asia Minorpersoncannot rebel! How other Persiaareas'peoplepossiblytrulyare also loyalinPersia!”阿莱克西斯长叹一声:“小亚细亚是波斯国土的一部分,但无论是小居鲁士、还是阿尔塔薛西斯都没有珍惜那一片广袤的土地,反而将那里的民众视为异族,予取予求,小亚细亚人怎能不叛乱!波斯其他地区的民众又怎么可能真正忠诚于波斯!”„WeshouldthankPersiansto do this, becausejusttheydo not regard as the person on one's own sideotherraces, wehave the opportunityto storm intothisgeneralnational territory, ultimatelyconquersthispowerfulenemy!”Matonisis pointing at the firstregimentsoldier who crosses the river, proudsaying: „Theselittle fellowsare luckier than us, wein the pastwere only the tools in Persianshand, whatmeaninglesswasfighting for power and profit of Room Persian kingdied in battleonthisstrangelands, but theyare repeatingourpastroutes of march, is actually fightingforthemandfor the kingdoms, theywill create the unprecedentedgreat victory!”
“我们应该感谢波斯人这样做,正因为他们不将其他种族视为自己人,我们才有机会攻入这片广大的国土,最终战胜这个强大的敌人!”马托尼斯指着正在渡河的第一军团士兵,自豪的说道:“这些小家伙比我们幸运,我们当年只是波斯人手中的工具,毫无意义的为波斯王的争权夺利而战死在这片陌生的土地上,而他们虽然重复着我们当年的行军路线,却在为他们自己、为王国而战斗,他们将创造前所未有的伟大胜利!”„Realstick that said that Matonis.”Amintasdepends on the sittingcot of carriagesupinely, saying that in the feelingtaunted: „Inteam that althoughyoudid not directinmein the past, butIhad heardyouat that time, strongfierce, but the temperamentcrude, makes the recruit who the teamofficershave a headache aboutvery much...... whonot think that dozensyearsin the pastyouunexpectedlybecamehigh-ranking military officer who directsover ten thousandsoldiers, moreoverspeakssystematicalsoso......”
“说的真棒,马托尼斯。”阿明塔斯仰靠着马车的坐榻,感慨中略带嘲讽的说道:“虽然当年你不在我指挥的队伍中,但我那时就听说过你,一名强壮勇猛但脾气粗暴、让队官很是头疼的新兵……谁也不会想到几十年过去你居然成了指挥上万士兵的将官,而且说话还如此的有条有理……”„SirAmintas, Ihad also heardyouin the past.”Matonisrebuttalunrestrained/no trace of politeness: „Knows why Iamn't willinghundredpeople of teams that in the pastgoes toyouto direct? Becauseeveryonesaid that you are a Menomad dog, althoughleads the teamto rush aheadfrequentlyin the forefront, butthere is no tactic, moreovereach timecasualtiescasualtiesbig......, butwill fearto followyou dead in battle the mercenaryhereneverto thinkin the past for dozensyearslateryouwill become the star who a high-ranking court officialandpeople in powerfulkingdompraised.”
“阿明塔斯大人,我当年也听说过你。”马托尼斯毫不客气的反唇相讥:“知道我当年为什么不愿意去你指挥的百人队吗?因为大家都称你是梅农手下的一条疯狗,虽然经常率队冲杀在最前面,但却没什么战术可言,而且每次伤亡都伤亡不小……但恐怕当年跟随你战死在这里的雇佣兵永远不会想到几十年后你会成为一个强大王国的重臣、民众口中称颂的名将。”
The Matonisunkindwordstouched the Amintasheartstrings, hehas not refuted, insteadfacial expressionpainsilentmoment, then the sinkingsoundsaid: „OurthesecomesPersiatime, not only need revengetoPersian king, scrubbingpastshame, whatis more importantfoundin the past the startlingbone of allies, brought back to the family/homethem......”马托尼斯刻薄的话语触动了阿明塔斯的心弦,他没有反驳,反而神情痛苦的沉默了片刻,然后沉声说道:“我们这一次来波斯,不光是要向波斯王报仇,洗刷当年的耻辱,更重要的是找到当年战友们的骇骨,将他们带回家……”Thissaying, the peoplefell intoquietly, the atmospherebecomessomewhatdignified.
这话一出,众人都陷入了沉寂,气氛变得有些凝重。Has listened attentively to the record, unable to bearforHeniePolis of biographycollectionmaterial the futuremustwritein the one side asks a low voice: „FellowSirs, yousaidso manya moment ago, can...... saythat timeyour majestysimply? Heshouldbe a youngrecruitat that time, is right?”
一直在一旁倾听记录、为将来要书写的传记筹集资料的赫尼波里斯忍不住低声问道:“各位大人,你们刚才说了这么多,能不能……简单的说说那时的陛下?他那时应该还是一名年轻的新兵,对不对?”AlexiusandFeelyHughes, Tolmidesand the others do not seem to heardHeniePolisto speak, the start of acting in a completely informal or uninhibited mannertalked to each other.阿莱克西斯、菲利修斯、托尔米德等人仿佛没有听见赫尼波里斯说话似的,旁若无人的开始相互交谈起来。Even ifusuallyspokeAmintasandEpiphanes of notabooalsoto fearwas pesteredat this momentbyannoyingHeniePolis, butclosing one's eyespretended to be sleepingsimply.
哪怕是平时说话无禁忌的阿明塔斯、埃皮忒尼斯此刻也怕被烦人的赫尼波里斯纠缠,而干脆闭眼装睡。In the pastandDavoswithis drawingGiorgrisin a squadandtoheextremelyfamiliarMatonis, on the grounds of„musturge that the soldierssped upmarching”, left the crowd.
当年和戴弗斯同在一个小队、对他极为熟悉的马托尼斯更是拉着吉奥格里斯,以“要催促士兵们加快行军”为由,离开了人群。
It is not because the age, could not have recalledin the past the performance of King Davosinthisplacein the course of time, on the contrarytheirclearremembering: When the mercenariesarrive atthisEuphrates riverbank, at that time when youngDavoswas shocked, steps the bateau-bridgeactuallytwolegsbythisexceptionallybroadriverbecomes tender, almost the entire journeywas supported by the armbyMatoniswas arriving at the opposite shore......
并不是因为年代日久、已经记不起当年戴弗斯国王在此地的表现,相反他俩清晰的记得:当雇佣军来到这幼发拉底河畔,当时年轻的戴弗斯被这条异常宽阔的大河所震撼,踏上浮桥时竟然两腿发软,几乎全程都是由马托尼斯搀扶着走到了对岸……IftheirtruthfullyDavosthesedirty businesswill sayin the past, will have the big impact on today'sKingdomPeople?! Let alone, 30years later todaytheyvisit familiar place, review the past events, in the heartsissigh with emotion: Comparedthese dead in battlein the companion of thisplace, theywerewhat kind ofluck! Under not onlyinbesieging and pursuing of Persiaarmyblocked offescapeslived the day, but can also killin the lifetime, the invinciblepowerful enemywill once step on the under foot, washed off the shame! All thesearethatperson who because the frontstands and waits for a long time, will be impossibleunderhisleadershipbecomespossible, created the unprecedentedmiracle!
如果他们如实的将当年戴弗斯的这些糗事说出来,会对今日的王国民众造成多大的冲击?!更何况,30年后的今天他们旧地重游,回顾往事,心中更是感慨:相比较那些战死在此地的同伴,他们是何等的幸运!不但在波斯军队的围追堵截下逃出了生天,而且还能在有生之年重新杀回来,将曾经不可战胜的强敌踩在脚下,洗刷耻辱!这一切都是因为前方伫立的那个人,正是在他的带领下才将不可能变为可能,创造了前所未有的奇迹!Inthis moment, the gratitude and respecttoDavoswere full of the feelings.
在这一刻,他们对戴弗斯的感激与崇敬充满了胸臆。Alsohas not knownhow long, Davosturned head, high-spiritedsaying: „Brothers, weshouldcross river!”
也不知过了多久,戴弗斯回过头来,意气风发的说道:“兄弟们,我们该过河了!”People'sloudresponsewith one voice: „Compliant, your majesty!”
众人异口同声的大声回应:“遵命,陛下!”........................................................................

尽管周遭的环境变得有点恶劣,但戴弗斯依旧下达命令:全军就在塔波萨库斯城附近修筑营地。
