When several leaders catch up in high spirits in Davos meeting, sees the sad scene in canyon, scalp tingles, looks to the Davos look, does not control self were many for several points to awe, just as such that Xenophon said: „...... Davos...... you...... you worthily are...... Hades...... god family!” 当几位首领兴冲冲的赶来于戴弗斯会合时,看到峡谷里的惨象,也不禁头皮发麻,看向戴弗斯的眼神,不自禁的多了几分敬畏,正像色诺芬所说的那样:“……戴弗斯……你……你不愧是……哈迪斯……神眷者！” Davos similar state of mind difficult draw, his unceasing consoled itself in the heart: This is the war! This is the war! 戴弗斯同样心绪难平,他不断的在心中告慰自己:这就是战争！这就是战争！ „How these do Persians handle?” He noticed that the soldiers are capturing the weapon and mail-armor and helmet of surrendered soldier, suddenly is a little tenderhearted, asks guest Lysippos. “这些波斯人怎么处置？”他看到士兵们正在收缴降兵的武器和甲胄,突然有点心软,问客里索普斯。 The reply of guest Lysippos is exceptionally callous: „ Captured their weapon and armor, their hand muscles and foot muscles, cuts off completely, stabs the thigh, puts to make the Tissaphernes headache go again. 客里索普斯的回答异常冷酷:“等收缴完他们的武器和盔甲,就把他们的手筋、脚筋,全部砍断,刺伤大腿,再放回去让蒂萨弗尼斯头痛去吧。 Davos is silent, he understands certainly intention that guest Lysippos does that: Mercenaries not unnecessary food, without the unnecessary manpower comes to see to manage them, but Tissaphernes also scores points the manpower to look after these injured Persians, attacked their soldiers naturally to reduce. 戴弗斯默然,他当然明白客里索普斯这么做的用意:雇佣军没有多余的食物,也没有多余的人手来看管他们,而蒂萨弗尼斯还得分出人手来照看这些受伤的波斯人,攻击他们的士兵自然就减少了。 „Davos, you do is very good!” Guest Lysippos observes the situation all around, said: „I think that Persians sees here scene, will frighten to break their gallbladders!” “戴弗斯,你做的很好！”客里索普斯环视四周,说道:“我想波斯人看到这里景象,会吓破他们的胆！” When Davos leads his army is going out of the canyon, soldiers along the way to them who the whole body is bathed in blood extend the biggest cheers, because they know: This young leader led the small number of people to block a large number of Persians ways, made the mercenaries achieve a perfect success. 当戴弗斯率领着他的部队走出峡谷时,沿途的士兵们纷纷向满身浴血的他们致以最大的欢呼声,因为他们知道:正是这位年轻的首领率领少数人堵住了数量众多的波斯人的去路,才使得雇佣军获得了一场完美的胜利。 Young Davos won the approval of army officers with his practical action. 年轻的戴弗斯用他的实际行动赢得了全军将士的认可。 .............................. ………………………… In the afternoon, the Tissaphernes army arrives at the canyon slowly. 下午,蒂萨弗尼斯的大军才姗姗来到峡谷。 When Tissaphernes saw that the sad scene in canyon as well as lies down the wounded soldier who place, struggled to wail, he throws the ground oneself helmet angrily, then sends out young some trusted subordinate armies to handle the damage control, other armies forbid to enter the canyon, but bypasses the mountain peak, takes other paths. 当蒂萨弗尼斯看到峡谷内的惨象以及躺了一地、挣扎哀嚎的伤兵,他愤怒地将自己的头盔掷到地上,然后派出一小部分亲信部队去处理善后,其他部队禁止进入峡谷,而是绕过山峰,走其他道路。 Follows Tissaphernes Ariaeus throughout remains silent, he has not seen Artau Suss's body, but surely in this countless corpse piles. These in three days, two strove for the power general dead in battle with him, at this moment he did not have a joy, instead the feeling of if the lips are gone , the teeth will be cold...... 跟随蒂萨弗尼斯的阿里柔斯始终保持沉默,他没有看到阿尔陶祖斯的尸体,但必定在这不计其数的尸堆之中。这三天内,两个跟他争权的将领都先后战死,此刻他却没有一丝喜悦,反而有一股唇亡齿寒的感觉…… This match, Persians died more than 3000 people, was injured more than 3000 people, no one escaped ; The casualties in Greek mercenaries may ignore. 此役,波斯人死亡三千多人,受伤三千多人,没有一人逃脱;希腊雇佣军方面的伤亡可忽略不计。 Perhaps, was really said by guest Lysippos, Persians was scared, for several days has not appeared again. Enables the Greek mercenaries quite relaxed grabs and marches, arrives by a Tigris river river city- Larissa. 或许,真被客里索普斯说中了,波斯人被吓破了胆,一连几天都没再出现。使得希腊雇佣军能够比较轻松的一路劫掠、一路行军,到达底格里斯河河旁的一座城市-拉里萨。 This is a grand big city. Its city wall lower half is the stone builds, the upper half is the cob brick, wall about 30 meters in height, the wide approximately eight meters, the perimeter is about ten li (0.5 km). The so palatial city wall, making the Greek mercenaries not capture its interest completely, moreover before this city, compared with city that in the Tigris river bank meets, is deserted, the paddies and rural cottage outside city also mostly leave uncultivated, seems somewhat bleak. 这是一座宏伟的大城。它的城墙下半部分是石头砌成,上半部分则为土砖,墙高约30米,宽约八米,周长大约有十里。如此巍峨的城墙,让希腊雇佣军完全没有攻略它的兴趣,而且这座城和之前在底格里斯河畔所遇到的城市相比,行人稀少,城外的田地、村舍也大多荒废,显得有些荒凉。 „Larissa, its beforehand name was Kara it is said that earliest was the big city of Assyria period, afterward was won by Medians. Great Cyrus the Great defeated. the bottom, but actually cannot break through this city, finally was sun god Mitra camouflaged the light of Kara city with the dark cloud, caused its daytime and night is equally dark, the residents in Kara city were scared extremely, thinks that the god abandoned them, therefore abandoned the city to escape in abundance, Cyrus the Great captured this city......” Marigi to say the meter “拉里萨,据说它以前的名字叫卡拉,最早是亚述时期的大城,后来被米底人夺走。伟大的居鲁士大王打败了米底,可是却一直未能攻破此城,最后是太阳神密特拉用乌云遮蔽了卡拉城的光明,使它的白天和黑夜一样黑暗,卡拉城的居民恐慌万分,认为神抛弃了他们,于是纷纷弃城逃亡,居鲁士大王才夺取了此城……”马里吉说道。 Since Davos learned „understanding terrain” from guest Lysippos there after a series army general importance, he takes the guide Marigi, side follows. Xenophon as the Hieronymus adjutant, all things is encumbered, impossible to run to chat with the Davos relaxed speech like before. But Marigi takes the merchant, is not only familiar with the surrounding terrain, but also is familiar with the historical anecdotes of two river basins, was the Davos tense and tired marching journey increased many pleasure. 自从戴弗斯从客里索普斯那里学到了“了解地形”对一名统军将领的重要性后,他就将马里吉作为向导,伴随身边。色诺芬作为希罗尼穆斯的副官,诸事缠身,已不可能像之前那样跑来同戴弗斯轻松说话聊天了。而马里吉作为商人,不但熟悉周围地形,而且对一些两河流域的历史轶事如数家珍,为戴弗斯紧张而疲乏的行军旅程增添了不少乐趣。 „Hey, your Persia has the sun god, we have Apollo, who is quite fierce?” Matonis in convoy guard said suddenly. “喂,你们波斯有太阳神,我们也有阿波罗,到底谁比较厉害？”在护卫队里的马托尼斯突然说道。 Shot a look at one in Marigi of Davos body side backward, disdain said: „Mitra is the natural control, safeguards the vegetation sumptuously, fertile, people to enjoy a good and prosperous life, therefore was worshipped by the myriad things! It is not a trivial young god can compare!” 在戴弗斯身侧的马里吉向后瞥了一眼,不屑的说:“密特拉是自然的主宰,保障草木丰盛、土地肥沃、人民安居乐业,因此受万物崇拜！不是一个区区小神所能相比的！” „What did you say?! You dare to insult Apollo!!” Matonis wants to go forward to punch Marigi angrily, held on by Hielos. “你说什么？！你竟敢辱骂阿波罗！！”马托尼斯愤怒地想上前去揍马里吉,被希洛斯拉住。 Marigi frightens behind hides toward Davos, Davos said to him sternly: „The Matonis issue has not offended you, but you insulted the god who our Greeks venerated! If you did not apologize immediately, I will not stop them to retaliate to you angrily!” The superiority feeling that this Persians braves unknowingly makes him a little have a headache, should give him a lesson. 马里吉吓得往戴弗斯身后躲,戴弗斯却对他厉声说道:“马托尼斯的问题并没有冒犯你,而你却侮辱了我们希腊人尊崇的神祗！如果你不立即道歉,我不会阻拦他们对你愤怒的报复！”这个波斯人是不是在不经意间冒出来的优越感让他有点头疼,是该给他一个教训了。 Marigi then sees in the soldiers eyes to brave the angry flame, he knows Davos, he will certainly be ripped the fragment. As the merchant, understanding flexibly is its natural disposition, he bends over rapidly, sincere apology, even gave back to a oneself slap in the face. 马里吉回头看见士兵们眼中冒着愤怒的火光,他知道要不是戴弗斯,他一定会被撕成碎片。作为商人,通达权变是其本性,他迅速弯腰低头,诚恳道歉,甚至还给了自己一个耳光。 Saw Marigi to obtain forgiving, before Davos asked him, continuously the issue of doubts: „Why does this city look so bleak?” 看到马里吉获得了原谅,戴弗斯才问出了他之前一直疑惑的问题:“为什么这座城看起来如此荒凉？” Cheeks that Marigi is covering blushing, ambiguous saying: „Because here resident is mainly Medians.” Said that his silent did not speak. 马里吉一手捂着发红的脸颊,含糊的说道:“因为这里的居民主要是米底人。”说完他闭口不语。 Davos thinks carefully, is suddenly enlighted: „The Persian king courtyard does not take seriously this stretch of area, because here was the past meter/rice bottom and Assyria core area, feared their old fire reignition, even adopted the suppression policy, is right?” 戴弗斯仔细想想,恍然大悟:“波斯王庭不重视这片地区,因为这里是昔日米底和亚述的核心地区,怕他们旧火重燃,甚至采取打压政策,对不对？” Davos sees Marigi surprised looks at itself, knows oneself guessed correctly the main point, somewhat happily said: „Makes me guess again which methods used. For example frequently reassigns here person to enlist in the military to go to war? Collection higher tax?......” 戴弗斯见马里吉吃惊的看着自己,知道自己猜到了要点,不禁有些得意的说:“让我再来猜猜都用了哪些方法。比如经常抽调这里的人去参军打仗？征收更高的税？……” „Captain Davos, if you are really what god family who you said that you truly with your , only then the muscle does not have the subordinate of mind to be completely different!” Marigi gasps in admiration is looking up to immediately Davos, because suffered a loss a moment ago, he said in a low voice: „If you are Persians, and is the Persia official, it is estimated that can also develop very well!” “戴弗斯首领,如果你真是你们所说的什么神眷者,你确实和你那些只有肌肉没有头脑的手下完全不同！”马里吉叹服的仰望着马上的戴弗斯,因为刚才吃了亏,他低声说道:“如果你是个波斯人,并且是波斯的官员,估计也能发展得很好！” Davos smiles, said: „Persia, although is the great nation, what a pity I do not like.” 戴弗斯一笑,说道:“波斯虽然是大国,可惜我并不喜欢。” „Because you are Greeks?” “因为你是希腊人？” Davos had not replied, he is looking at Larissa of not far away, is lost: Is he Greeks? Except for this body, his soul and his thought that think until now from the bottom of the heart oneself is a Chinese, the tradition and culture of Greece could not assimilate one in the 21 st century came the person, even cannot have anything to affect to him, was only the realistic helpless and sincere war friendship, making him approve this group. Do not look that he usually „our Greece anything......” that is flickering these Greeks, raises the morale, highlights the position of his leader, a few words- to survive! Therefore, if Persia is more superior than Greece, offers the olive branch to him, he can does not have any hesitant turning in the past, but he cannot have a liking for Persia, because the political systems of Greek most city-state look like the country of the 21 st century, even Athens is more democratic than the modern society, this to advocating free the modern people have the natural warm feelings...... 戴弗斯没有回答,他望着不远处的拉里萨,怔怔出神:他是希腊人吗？除了这个身体,他的灵魂、他的思想,至今为止从心底都认为自己是个中国人,希腊的传统和文化同化不了一个二十一世纪的来人,甚至对他起不了什么影响,只是现实的无奈和诚挚的战友情,使他认同了这个团体。别看他平时一口一个“我们希腊什么什么……”那都是在忽悠这些希腊人,鼓舞士气,突显他这个首领的地位,一句话-为了生存！所以,如果波斯比希腊更优越,又对他伸出橄榄枝,他会没有任何犹豫的投靠过去,但他看不上波斯,因为希腊大部分城邦的政治制度更像21世纪的国家,甚至雅典比现代社会更加民主,这对崇尚自由的现代人有天然的亲切感…… ................................. …………………………… Next day, they march to arrive at Metz Boyle. 第二天,他们行军到达梅斯波拉。 „Before this is , the Capital Nineveh of Assyria kingdom. It is said that last meter/rice bottom king wife Medea after our Persians captures the Medians kingdom, once in this city sought asylum. Great Cyrus the Great commands the army to besiege this city, because this is the Medians final castle, for a long time has not attacked. army god close to Hera in god sees the Persians casualty is too many, therefore sends out earth-shaking thunderous, shocks the entire city, was attacked and captured......” Marigi is holding the post of the guide as before and „narrator” the duty. “这就是以前亚述王国的首都-尼尼微。据说,最后一个米底王的妻子美狄亚在我们波斯人夺取米底人的王国之后,曾经在此城避难。伟大的居鲁士大王率军围攻此城,由于这是米底人最后的城堡,长时间没有攻下来。众神中的军神巴赫拉姆见波斯人死伤太多,于是发出惊天动地的雷鸣,震撼全城,才被攻克……”马里吉依旧担任着向导和“解说员”的职务。 „Hehe, the Persians god is really good, but also is helping the fight.” Matonis taunted in behind, has yesterday's lesson, Marigi had not managed him. “呵呵,波斯人的神真不错,还帮着战斗。”马托尼斯在后面嘲讽,有了昨天的教训,马里吉没有理他。 Davos is looking into this also to be located in the Tigris river bank immediately the city. The capital of this your presence Assyria kingdom is only the wall base of city wall has approximately 17 meters high, Kara has calculated a grand big city, may seem like also only then Nineveh 1/3, when conceivable past this founded a nation the Assyria kingdom that sweeps away Western various kingdoms by the military the great strength and prosperous of national strength! But at this time the capital city is desolated broken, in the city wall the insane long weeds and innumerable thorn clumps swing the retrievable arrow with a string attached to it in river wind, seems telling its present misery. 戴弗斯在马上眺望这座同样位于底格里斯河畔的城池。这座前亚述王国的首都光是城墙的墙基就有约十七米高,卡拉已经算一座雄伟的大城,可看起来似乎也只有尼尼微的三分之一,可以想象当年这个以军事立国的亚述王国横扫西方诸王国时国力的强大和繁荣！而此时都城已是荒芜残破,城墙上疯长的野草和无数的荆棘丛在江风中摇弋,似乎在诉说它现在的凄凉。 A traces left by time of history floats the heart spontaneously, making Davos natural before remembering that „, does not see the ancient, latter does not see the future, read long of the world, alone dark blue, however under tears” the eternity famous phrase, he will sigh: „The powerful country also has demise time!” 一股历史的沧桑感油然浮上心头,让戴弗斯自然的想起了那首“前不见古人,后不见来者,念天地之悠悠,独沧然而涕下”的千古名句,他感叹道:“再强大的国家也有灭亡的时候啊！”
