When the Locri person learns of the news, the shock also had several points to awe. For decades, Locri asked to win to Crotone, but was unavailable, but the Theonia alliance that newly was established can actually defeat a numerically superior enemy to defeat Crotone for successive two times. 洛克里人得知消息,震惊之余也有了几分敬畏。几十年来,洛克里对克罗托内求一胜而不可得,而刚成立的戴奥尼亚联盟却能连续两次以少胜多击败克罗托内。 Naturally, to Locri, what is more important is Crotone loses seriously, but also falls into with struggle of Theonia, this is really a good time! Locri cannot wait for the envoy Metofeles news, starts to plan to attack the Crotone union, to rout mortal enemy at one fell swoop, they while in the union conducted the war mobilization, but also by Dionysius wife's Elder Brother Locri chief general virtue motor Kase requests reinforcements to Syracuse. This time Syracuse had started to the Carthage war, the powerful army is capturing cities, only then the navy has not met the enemy temporarily, besides some warships along the coastline for the army escort, other stays in the Syracuse Dagang awaits orders. 当然,对洛克里来说,更重要的是克罗托内损失惨重,还陷入与戴奥利亚的苦战中,这真是一个绝佳的时机！洛克里等不及使者梅特洛菲尼斯的消息,就开始策划进攻克罗托内同盟,为了一举击溃死敌,他们在同盟内进行了战争动员的同时,还由狄奥尼修斯的妻子的哥哥-洛克里首席将军德摩多卡斯向锡拉库扎求援。此时的锡拉库扎已经发动了对迦太基的战争,强大的陆军正在攻陷一座座城镇,只有海军暂时未遇上敌人,除部分战船沿海岸线为陆军护航外,其余停留在锡拉库扎大港内待命。 On the one hand stemming from the Locri friendship, what are more will be prepares for the future, Dionysius sends out more than 20 triremes to aid the Locri person. 一方面出于对洛克里的友谊,更多的是为将来做准备,狄奥尼修斯派出了20多艘三层桨战船援助洛克里人。 Had Syracuse to be the backing, Locri launched the war impatiently. 有了锡拉库扎做后盾,洛克里迫不及待的发动了战争。 Who knows, Theonia again with the Crotone truce, not only signed the defensive alliance treaty, but also released the complete captive, envoy Metofeles feels is deceived, indignant returns to homeland. 谁知,戴奥尼亚再次与克罗托内停战,不但签订了防御同盟条约,还释放了全部的俘虏,使者梅特洛菲尼斯感到被愚弄,愤而回国。 Native of Locri anger: Theonia again and again disregards the Locri good intention, plan of unintentional hindrance Locri, because must cope with mortal enemy Crotone at present full power, does not want to cause complications, temporarily endured this tone, will wait calculates in the future. Meanwhile, Locri starts to be vigilant to Theonia. 洛克利人愤怒了:戴奥尼亚一而再、再而三的无视洛克里的好意,有意无意的阻碍洛克里的计划,只是由于目前要全力对付死敌克罗托内,不想节外生枝,暂时忍下了这口气,以待日后再算。同时,洛克里开始对戴奥尼亚有所警惕。 Then with the battle of Crotone, although has small frustration, but the naval battle actually wins total victories because of the Syracuse reinforcements, loses the Crotone army that the navy protected to be understrength, was transferred by the Locri person back and forth, is beset with problems, falls into passively. 接着与克罗托内的会战虽有小挫,但是海战却因锡拉库扎的援军而大获全胜,失去了海军保护的克罗托内军队兵力不足,被洛克里人来回调动,捉襟见肘,陷入被动。 In Locri sees the victory hope, there is a news to transmit: The envoys of Crotone union get together in Thurii, to Theonia request reinforcements! 就在洛克里看到胜利希望时,有消息传来:克罗托内同盟的使者齐聚图里伊,向戴奥尼亚请求援军！ Matter that the Locri person most is worried about happened. In view of the fact that the performance of former Metofeles was not entirely as desired, they send out eloquence best Pan Ti Kapes immediately, however his arrival, not only cannot make Theonia change the mind, instead the acceleration facilitated the establishment of south intent Union. 洛克里人最担心的事情发生了。鉴于之前梅特洛菲尼斯的表现太不尽如人意,他们立刻派出了口才最好的潘提卡佩斯,但是他的到来,不但未能让戴奥尼亚改变主意,反而加速促成了南意同盟的成立。 Pan Ti Kapes when leaving Thurii, indignant, but said to the Theonia council senior statesmen: „Apollo can witness, our Locri person has had the respect to the Theonia heart, but each offering olive branch, trades is actually the Theonia malicious deceit and deceiving. Starting today, Locri and Theonia are enemies! Next time when we come again, no longer has the peace envoy, but is the Ares anger and powerful army!” 潘提卡佩斯在离开图里伊之时,愤而向戴奥尼亚元老院的元老们说道:“阿波罗可以见证,我们洛克里人对戴奥尼亚一直心有敬意,但是我们每一次奉上的橄榄枝,换来的却是戴奥尼亚恶意的欺骗和愚弄。从今天起,洛克里与戴奥尼亚将是敌人！下次我们再来时,不再有和平的使者,而是阿瑞斯的怒火和强大的军队！” The senior statesmen complexion changes, Davos said calmly: „Before previous Crotonians launches the war, their envoys also stand in you are standing now the position, has spoken similar words, but now?” 元老们脸色微变,戴弗斯则平静说道:“上次克罗托内人发动战争之前,他们的使者也是站在你现在所站着的位置,说过类似的话,而现在呢？” Davos displays although very with ease, but he knows that now the Locri person dominates in the sea, after Theonia declares war, likely repeats the previous Crotone fleet again to the past event that Theonia makes. Therefore, he convenes the Ledes troop, along the coastline patrol, restarts Philesius simultaneously is the measure that to deal with the Crotone fleet surprise attack takes, but council also suspended to the resettlement of Aprustum and Krimisa. 戴弗斯尽管表现得很轻松,但他知道现在洛克里人在海上称雄,戴奥尼亚宣战后,很可能再次重演之前克罗托内舰队对戴奥尼亚所做的旧事。因此,他将莱德斯的骑兵队重新招集起来,沿海岸线巡逻,同时重启斐利修斯为应对克罗托内舰队突袭所采取的措施,而元老院也暂停了向阿斯普鲁斯图姆和克里米萨的移民工作。 However several days pass by, anything has not happened. 但是几天过去,什么事都没有发生。 ................................. …………………………… The first regiment arrives in the Aprustum city , more than 1000 garrisons join the army, causes to participate in the population of fight increasing to more than 10,000 people. 第一军团到达阿斯普鲁斯图姆城,又有一千多驻军加入军队,使得参与战斗的人数增加至一万多人。 Five in the future, the army arrives in the Caulonia city, is smooth, has not had any accident/surprise, reason that the arrival time compares with the beforehand plan to be much for two days, then south the bad condition of path to Magna Graecia estimates insufficiently, when way Scylletium, warm hospitality of there people. 五日后,军队到达考伦尼亚城,一路还算顺利,未发生任何意外,之所以到达时间较之前的计划多出两天,则是对大希腊南部道路的恶劣状况预计得不够,以及途径西里庭时,那里的民众的热烈款待。 After the Theonia reinforcements arrive at the battlefield, the Caulonia person danced with joy, prepares to wait for the Theonian recuperation to finish, immediately launches the attack to the city south Locri camp, but without thinking of this plan has not implemented with enough time, Locri sent out the envoy of peace talks...... 戴奥尼亚援军到达战场后,考伦尼亚人欢欣鼓舞,准备等待戴奥尼亚人休整完毕,立刻向城南的洛克里营地发动进攻,但没想到这一计划还没来得及实施,洛克里就派出了和谈的使者…… Hundred years ago, Crotone defeats Sybaris, rapidly becomes the Magna Graecia strong nation, produced the ambition that lords over south intent, starts the attack to south repeatedly. Most serious one time, under its attack, Locri and peripheral city-state army retreats in defeat again and again, finally to avoid returning to the Sybaris road, Locri and Rhegion join up, while the Crotone careless opportunity, launches the counter-attack, caused heavy losses to the Crotone army. 百年前,克罗托内战胜绪巴里斯,迅速成为大希腊的强邦,产生了独霸南意的野心,多次向南发动侵袭。最严重的一次,在它的进攻之下,洛克里与周边的城邦军队节节败退,最终为了避免重蹈绪巴里斯的覆辙,洛克里与利吉姆联合起来,趁克罗托内疏忽大意之机,发动反击,重创了克罗托内大军。 The Crotone strength damages greatly, for a while south is incapable of attacking, to prevent Crotone restores the strength, Locri and Rhegion started long-term the counter-attack to Crotone allied country, even they also north indigenous Bruttians union with Crotone union. The Crotone for dozens years are trapped in north Bruttians, south Locri and Rhegion soldier/weapon front threaten, always run about to deal with, are unable to reappear the past power and influence again. Therefore, when Athens must establishes the Thurii city in the Valls plain, it also can only make to make concessions, signed the agreement. 克罗托内实力大损,一时无力南攻,为防止克罗托内恢复实力,洛克里、利吉姆开始了长期的对克罗托内盟邦的反击,甚至它们还和克罗托内同盟北面的土著布鲁提人联合。克罗托内几十年来受困于北面的布鲁提人、南面洛克里和利吉姆的兵锋威胁,始终疲于应付,再也无法重现当年的威势。因此,当雅典要在叙巴里斯平原建立图里伊城时,它也只能做出退让,签订了协议。 However, the cooperation of Locri and Rhegion is not intimate, once the threat of Crotone is weaken, the contradiction between both starts to appear. The biggest conflict is both city-state is a coastal city, to is also very near, the competition of harbor trade is inevitable. Because Rhegion controlled half of Messina channels, therefore gets the winning side in sea trade, but Locri opened from Locri to Medma and Xibonian( these two is the Magna Graecia West coast city) on the road the trade line, enabling the Greek merchants to arrive at the West coast through the land road, but did not need to pass through the Messina channel payment high tariff, therefore snatched many Rhegion to take west Mediterranean trade relay harbor profit...... 但是,洛克里、利吉姆的合作并非亲密无间,一旦克罗托内的威胁减弱,两者之间的矛盾就开始显现。最大的冲突就是两个城邦都是海滨城市,相距又很近,港口贸易的竞争不可避免。利吉姆因为控制了一半的墨西拿海峡,因此在海贸方面占据上风,而洛克里则开辟了从洛克里到麦德玛、希伯尼安(这两个都是大希腊的西海岸城市)的路上贸易线,让希腊商人可以通过陆上商道到达西海岸,而不用经过墨西拿海峡缴纳较高的关税,因此抢了不少利吉姆作为西地中海贸易中转港口的利润…… These contradictions accumulate, finally erupts several years ago. 这些矛盾累加起来,终于在几年前爆发。 Just became Dionysius of Syracuse plenary powers generals, because the wife in the beforehand power struggle was killed by the angry people, he of losing one's spouse wanted the second marriage, simultaneously this was also a politics marries regarding the overstepping authority lord, to consolidate his power and influence. Therefore he married in the Syracuse city after the daughter who supports his renowned aristocrat, then also wants to remarry one, his vision looked to with Sicily only one channel great distance Rhegion. On the one hand is because the Rhegion geographical position is extremely important, on the other hand is also in the Rhegion city has a woman reputation four to broadcast. 刚当上锡拉库扎全权将军的狄奥尼修斯因为在之前的权力斗争中妻子被愤怒的民众杀死,丧偶的他要再婚,同时对于僭主而言这也是一种政治联姻,以稳固他的权势。因此他娶了锡拉库扎城内一个支持他的著名贵族的女儿后,然后还想再娶一房,他的目光瞄向了与西西里仅一个海峡相隔的利吉姆。一方面是因为利吉姆的地理位置太过重要,另一方面也是利吉姆城内有一个女人美名四播。 However the Rhegion person rejected, they to becoming Syracuse overstep authority main Dionysius to fill vigilantly, they have not forgotten for dozens years ago similarly is Syracuse oversteps authority to advocate coveting of Eilon being in power period to Rhegion, causing Rhegion has to form an alliance with Carthage, to protect itself. 但是利吉姆人拒绝了,他们对当上锡拉库扎僭主的狄奥尼修斯充满警惕,他们没有忘记几十年前同样是锡拉库萨僭主希埃隆当政时期对利吉姆的觊觎,使得利吉姆不得不与迦太基结盟,以保护自己。 Dionysius has to propose to the Locri person, but Locri agreed that this caused the alliance relationship of Locri and Rhegion bursts thoroughly. 狄奥尼修斯只好向洛克里人求婚,而洛克里同意了,这导致了洛克里与利吉姆的同盟关系彻底破裂。 Why doesn't look for Crotone and Crotone as for Dionysius? Because during Peloponnesian War, Crotone and Thurii stands when Athens, even in the Athens army attacks Syracuse, but also provided the aid ; But Taranto is the child nation of Sparta person, is always intimate with Sparta, are little significance to Dionysius. 至于狄奥尼修斯为什么不找克罗托内、克罗托内？因为在伯罗奔尼撒战争期间,克罗托内、图里伊是站在雅典这一边,甚至在雅典大军进攻锡拉库扎时,还提供了援助;而塔兰图姆是斯巴达人的子邦,向来与斯巴达亲密,对狄奥尼修斯而言没有多大意义。 Departure of Rhegion makes Locri be unable to do it alone, difficult to make trouble again to Crotone. Until Theonia causes heavy losses to Crotone twice, makes it renew the hope. 利吉姆的离开使得洛克里孤掌难鸣,再难给克罗托内制造麻烦。直到戴奥尼亚两次重创克罗托内,才让它再次燃起希望。 Locri when conducting the war mobilization, but also sent out the envoy to Bruttians, before always these to Locri invitation performance positive Bruttians actually rejected the request of Locri time, the reason that they give is: Last year Bruttians attacked Terina alone, the result loss was serious, needs the recuperation. 洛克里在进行战争动员的时候,还向布鲁提人派出了使者,以前一向对洛克里的邀请表现积极的布鲁提人这一次却拒绝了洛克里的要求,他们给出的理由是:去年布鲁提人独自进攻特里纳,结果损失惨重,需要休整。 But the Locri envoy actually discovered that Cosenza extremely nearby Bruttii tribe seems to be making some transformation. 但洛克里使者却发现科森扎极其附近的布鲁提部落似乎在做某种变革。 The Locri person under the aid of Syracuse navy, attacks the Crotone union. Facts showed that even if the Crotone strength damages greatly, the camel of skinny is still big. Although Locri gets the winning side, is actually not able the quick victory. 洛克里人在锡拉库扎海军的援助下,进攻克罗托内同盟。事实证明,即使克罗托内实力大损,瘦死的骆驼依然比马大。洛克里虽然占据上风,却无法速胜。 Now Theonia joined in the war, regarding Locri, situation racing under. 现在戴奥尼亚加入到了战争中,对于洛克里而言,局势急转而下。 In is defeated after the Theonia diplomacy, the Locri person first whereabouts Syracuse requests reinforcements, in Sellin Nuse city that Dionysius was just seizing receives the Locri envoy who caught up in a hurry. 在对戴奥尼亚外交失败后,洛克里人第一时间去向锡拉库扎求援,狄奥尼修斯在刚刚占领的塞林努斯城内接见了匆匆赶来的洛克里使者。 After listening to messenger's request, Dionysius is frowning, thought deeply about the moment merely, straightforward saying: „Syracuse and Carthage war at crucial moment, I am not having the reinforcements to send! You sum! When I stilled Sicily, this account I will help Locri ask for!” 在听完使者的请求之后,狄奥尼修斯皱着眉头,仅仅思索了片刻,就直截了当的说道:“锡拉库扎与迦太基的战争正在关键时候,我没有援军可派！你们求和吧！等我平定了西西里,这笔账我会帮洛克里讨回来！” Envoy helpless return Locri. 使者无奈的回到洛克里。 The Locri person is not a fool, without reinforcements, it has no chance, the summation is the only outlet. Hits to stop from time to time with the entanglement of Crotone in dozens years is the common matter, Locri has been familiar with, will not insist on conducting a hopeless fight because of what honor. 洛克里人不是傻子,在没有援军的情况下,它没有任何胜机,求和就是唯一的出路。在几十年与克罗托内的纠缠中打打停停是常有的事,洛克里已经习惯,不会因为什么荣誉而执意进行一场没有希望的战斗。 Therefore, the Theonia first regiment comes in high spirits, a result fight has not happened, passive becomes the mediation role. 所以,戴奥尼亚第一军团兴冲冲而来,结果一场战斗也没发生,被动的成为了调停的角色。 Luckily, south intent allied country to first time Theonia army that presents in south central Italy has the favorable impression greatly, particularly the Caulonia person, they discovered builds the Theonia soldier's in camp surprisedly outside the Caulonia city continuously peaceful staying during the negotiations in the camp, does not have any harassing behavior, this point even does compares is Crotonians of Caulonia dozens years of ally is also much better. 幸好,南意盟邦对第一次出现在南意中部的戴奥尼亚军队大有好感,尤其是考伦尼亚人,他们惊奇的发现在考伦尼亚城外筑营的戴奥尼亚士兵在谈判期间一直安静的呆在营地内,没有任何的扰民行为,这一点做得甚至比已经是考伦尼亚几十年盟友的克罗托内人还要好一些。 But accompanies the armed forces to arrive at Caulonia Terina envoy Siprus after the negotiations ended, returns to Terina, to the powwow reports time, has a more detailed and comprehensive narration to the Theonia army. 而随军到达考伦尼亚的特里纳使者西普洛斯在谈判结束后,回到特里纳,向议事会做汇报的时候,对戴奥尼亚军队有着更加详细和全面的评述。
