Aitia takes a look at a Magon excited facial expression, in the heart does not have one to be touched: Carthage in the Sicily hegemony? I look am your Magonid virtue families in the Sicily hegemony! 艾迪亚鲁巴瞅着玛哥一副激动万分的神情,心中却没有一丝被触动:迦太基在西西里的霸权？我看是你们马戈尼德家族在西西里的霸权吧！ In fact, Carthaginians received the race characteristics of Phoenician, likes the doing business trade, rather than military force aggression. For several hundred years, colonizing and trade of Carthaginians in Sicily island, except for having extremely few conflicts, whole time are the Greeks peaceful coexistence. Until more than 80 years ago, Syracuse oversteps authority to advocate Dillon to attack Himera, forcing the Himera overstepping authority lord to raise Luse to request reinforcements to the Carthage Magonid virtue family's head of the clan and his close friend Hamilcar. 事实上,迦太基人秉承了腓尼基人的种族特性,更喜欢经商贸易,而不是武力侵略。几百年来,迦太基人在西西里岛的殖民和贸易,除了有极少的冲突,大部分时间都是与希腊人和平共处的。直到80多年前,锡拉库扎僭主狄隆攻打希麦拉,迫使希麦拉僭主提里鲁斯向迦太基马戈尼德家族的族长、他的密友哈密尔卡求援。 Hamilcar just right angry in Syracuse receives not fairly treats( Hamilkar's mother in his female clan is the Syracuse person), in has not obtained in the situation of council unanimous approval, shelled out to organize Sicily to expedite, finally was defeated by Dillon in Himera, Hamilkar also died in battle, therefore the Magonid virtue families will defeat Syracuse to regard the mission, but also towed to launch the Carthage people, henceforth Carthaginians and Syracuse contended for dozens years...... 哈密尔卡正好恼怒于他的母族在锡拉库扎受到不公正的对待(哈米尔卡的母亲是锡拉库扎人),在未获得元老院一致同意的情况下,自掏腰包组织了一次西西里远征,结果在希麦拉被狄隆打败,哈米尔卡也战死,因此马戈尼德家族就将击败锡拉库扎当成了使命,还将迦太基民众也拖下了水,从此迦太基人与锡拉库扎相争了几十年…… Now the Magonid virtue families had lost them in the absolute rule of Carthage, but also wants to instigate the people to invest into the endless Sicily war in again...... understood Aitia who some inside stories snorts contemptuously, he coughed several, coldly said: „Goes to war to need the person. First makes Carthage lose too many citizens in view of the Syracuse war that and you were started by your Elder Brother twice, perhaps they did not want and not have the ability to join to a new war in again!” 现在马戈尼德家族已经失去了他们在迦太基的绝对统治,还想再怂恿民众投入到无休止的西西里战争中……了解一些内情的艾迪亚鲁巴对此嗤之以鼻,他咳嗽了几声,冷冷说道:“打仗需要人。前两次由你哥哥和你发动的针对锡拉库扎的战争让迦太基已经失去了太多的公民,他们恐怕不愿意、也没有能力再加入到一场新的战争中去！” Aitia words point to the painful foot of Magon, making his slightly feeling blush, some saying of becoming angry out of shame: „Does not need the citizens to enter the war, so long as there is an enough mercenary, I can command the army to overrun to under the Syracuse city!” 艾迪亚鲁巴的话直指玛哥的痛脚,让他微感脸红,有些恼羞成怒的说道:“不需要公民们参战,只要有足够的雇佣兵,我就可以率军攻到锡拉库扎城下！” Aitia laughs, said: Relaxedness that „Sir Magon, you said that enough many mercenaries?! That also needs enough Jin Yinlai to pay their pay! Now your mercenary hand/subordinate has made the Carthage state treasury become serious, but also wants to recruit more soldiers again, not only council will not agree, the people will also oppose, because that means that must levy taxes. Moreover too many mercenaries will also be anxious, Sir Magon, you also said a moment ago, ‚, once is unable to pay enough pay on time, these mercenaries likely have the riot.’” 艾迪亚鲁巴哈哈一笑,说道:“玛哥大人,你说的轻松,足够多的雇佣兵？！那也需要足够的金银来支付他们的薪酬啊！现在你手下的雇佣兵就已经让迦太基的国库吃紧了,还想再在招募更多的士兵,不但元老院不会同意,民众也会反对,因为那就意味着要征税。而且太多的雇佣军也会让人担忧啊,玛哥大人,你刚才也说了,‘一旦无法按时支付足够的薪酬,那些雇佣兵们就可能发生暴乱。’” Magon is at a loss for words for a while, after a while, unwilling clenches teeth saying: „Even if not increase the military, with the Sicily existing army, I can still certainly recapture city-state and land that lost initially merely! Also asked Sir Aitia to pass on to council, reconsidered this matter again!” 玛哥一时语塞,过了一会儿,才不甘心的咬牙说道:“就算不增加兵力,仅仅用西西里现有的军队,我也一定可以夺回当初失去的城邦和土地！还请艾迪亚鲁巴大人转告元老院,再重新考虑这件事！” Aitia categorically rejects: „Sir Magon, Carthage present condition you do not know! Carthage needs to resume the prosperity, the people hope can the calm and steady life, no one be willing again for sacrificed own life with they uninterested these lands and inexplicable reasons! We achieve the peace with Syracuse with great difficulty, now you want us to tear up with their peace talks, restarts the war, not only this will enrage the Syracuse person, likely will cause just to establish relation some disaffection of Theonian with us, Carthage will not make such crude decision!” 艾迪亚鲁巴断然拒绝:“玛哥大人,迦太基现在的状况难道你不知道吗！迦太基需要恢复繁荣,民众希望能够安稳的生活,没有人再愿意为与他们毫无关系的那些土地和莫名的理由去牺牲自己的生命！我们好不容易与锡拉库扎达成和平,现在你要我们撕毁与他们的和议,重启战争,这不但会激怒锡拉库扎人,也可能会引起刚刚和我们建立起了一些联系的戴奥尼亚人的不满,迦太基不会做出这样鲁莽的决定！” Magon was enraged by his words: „Aitia, I also thought that before you are somewhat unyielding, has the independent opinion and view in council, now looks like you and attaches to Hanno(Hannonian) these fellows is not different, knows how the people called their!” 玛哥被他的一番话激怒了:“艾迪亚鲁巴,以前我还觉得你有些硬气,在元老院有自己独立的见解和看法,现在看来你和依附汉诺的那些家伙没什么两样,知道民众是怎么称呼他们的吗！” Facing offending of Magon, Aitia suppresses the anger, the sinking sound said: „My view from the Carthage benefit, will not always consider that who the supportor is, opponent is the decision that , Sir Magon you make actually, really for Carthage?! I want to remind you, council in view of the fact that the present is the sensitive period, will send a senior statesman to be the Sicily supervision officer, in order to avoid these mercenaries do not obey the director, will only trigger some accidents/surprises!......” 面对玛哥的冒犯,艾迪亚鲁巴强忍怒气,沉声说道:“我的看法一向是从迦太基的利益出发,不会考虑赞成者是谁、反对者是谁,倒是玛哥大人你所做出的这个决定,真的是为了迦太基吗？！我想提醒你,元老院鉴于现在是敏感时期,将派遣一名元老担任西西里监察官,以免那些雇佣兵们不听指挥,只会引发一些意外！……” This meeting, two people part on bad terms. 这一次的会面,两人不欢而散。 When Aitia Robba leaves the governor mansion can also hear Magon at inside roaring sound, he sets firm resolve finally, agrees to proposition in private Hanno(Hannonian): Sends out the envoy and Theonia as soon as possible reaches the agreement. 艾迪亚罗巴离开总督府邸时还能听见玛哥在里面的咆哮声,他终于下定决心,同意汉诺的私下提议:尽快派出使者与戴奥尼亚达成协议。 On going to harbor road, bumps into with the mercenaries who various voices and wear vary unceasingly, this makes him frown: The necessity that the Sicily military defense area has not had completely, can through the peace and benefit that the negotiations can obtain, why must pass the war...... 在去港口的路上,不断碰到操着各种口音、穿着各异的雇佣兵们,这都让他皱起眉头:西西里军事防御区完全没有存在的必要,能通过谈判就能获得的和平和利益,又何必要通过战争…… .......................................... …………………………………… At night, a harbor silence of Scylletium, only then the sea tide is whipping the wharf gently, sends out gently sound. 黑夜,西里庭的港口一片寂静,只有海潮轻轻地拍打着码头,发出温柔的哗哗声。 In the sky a full moon, scatters on this day within blackness with the gentle silver light, brings several points of security for the night navigation. 天空中一轮圆月,用柔和的银光驱散这天地间的漆黑,也为夜间的航海带来几分安全。 Dionysius and Pharacidas one group of arrived at the wharf quietly, Leptines has prepared the ships for them. 狄奥尼修斯、菲比达斯一行人悄悄地来到码头,莱普提涅斯已经为他们准备好了船只。 Dionysius very rare is patting Schiepe Sars's shoulder with the affectionate stance, look serious saying: „Schiepe Sars, did not need to deliver again, in order to avoid the soldiers discovered exceptionally. These days, here army all gave you, I will lead the reinforcements to catch up as soon as possible!” 狄奥尼修斯很难得的用亲昵的姿态拍着法西佩萨斯的肩膀,神色郑重的说道:“法西佩萨斯,不用再送了,以免士兵们发现异常。这段时间,这里的部队就全交给你了,我会尽快带援军赶来！” Dionysius gives western France to cultivate the heavy responsibility of SARS to make him feel that the pressure is very big, passed the half-day time, the forehead were for many several points to fold, but he is unable to tell at this time again own depression, can only send out the blessing: „Sir, wishing Apollo to bless you smoothly to return to Syracuse!” 狄奥尼修斯交给法西培萨斯的重任让他感到压力很大,才过了半天时间,额头就多了几分皱褶,但此时他无法再诉说自己的苦闷,只能送出祝福:“大人,愿阿波罗庇佑你顺利回到锡拉库扎！” „Don't forget, concealed the news that I left to the soldiers temporarily, to avoid the army having the confusion!” Dionysius also reminded one. “别忘了,暂时对士兵们隐瞒我离开的消息,以避免部队出现混乱！”狄奥尼修斯又提醒了一句。 Western France cultivates SARS to nod to indicate to understand. 法西培萨斯点头表示明白。 Looks that Schiepe Sars turns around to leave, the Dionysius rapid reclamation vision, said to Leptines: „Now blockade of Theonian to harbor how?” 看着法西佩萨斯转身离开,狄奥尼修斯迅速的收回目光,对身旁的莱普提涅斯说道:“现在戴奥尼亚人对港口的封锁怎么样？” „Sentry return according to lighthouse, outside harbor, only then 34 Theonia express steamers, they are impossible to block such wide leaving port sea level in the night, proposes Luse's exercise ship technology definitely to be able by Larke with ease the breakthrough their impediment!” “根据灯塔的哨兵回报,港口外只有三四艘戴奥尼亚快船,在夜间他们不可能封锁住这么宽的出港海面,以拉克提鲁斯的操船技术完全能够轻松的突破他们的阻挡！” Listens to the Leptines confident words, Dionysius was slightly relaxed, he is gazing at oneself brothers, usually his mediocre and incompetent makes him indignantly with helpless frequently, but his loyalty and meticulous performance order make him feel to feel relieved, therefore he sends other city-state to hold the post of the overstepping authority lord several other brothers, but alone kept the side...... to see this simple and honest younger brother this at this moment, in his heart did not have the complaint, but there are the kinship, he said in a low voice: „The sound in close attention city, once discovered that the situation is not right, immediately brings the fleet to run out of the harbor, returns to Syracuse!” 听完莱普提涅斯充满信心的话语,狄奥尼修斯稍微轻松了些,他注视着自己的这个兄弟,平时他的平庸和无能经常让他气愤和无奈,但他的忠诚和一丝不苟的执行命令又让他感到放心,所以他将其他几个兄弟都派到其他城邦担任僭主,而独将这一位留在了身边……此刻看着这个憨厚的弟弟,他心中没有了埋怨,而有的是亲情,他低声说道:“密切关注城内的动静,一旦发现情况不对,立刻带着舰队冲出港口,返回锡拉库扎！” „!” Leptines nearly is astonished screams. “啊！”莱普提涅斯惊愕得险些叫出声。 Dionysius stared his one eyes ruthlessly, made an effort to pinch his hand, shouted in a low voice again: „Remembered!” 狄奥尼修斯狠狠的瞪了他一眼,使劲捏了一下他的手,低声再次喝道:“记住了！” Leptines then vigilant repetitive nod: „Yes! Yes!” 莱普提涅斯这才警觉的连连点头:“是！是！” Dionysius pays no attention to him again, under supporting by the arm of own health/guard, jumped up the express steamer of swaying. 狄奥尼修斯再不理他,在亲卫的搀扶下,跳上了摇晃的快船。 „Exhorted?” Pharacidas already on ship, at this time meaningful asking. “都嘱咐完了？”菲比达斯早已在船上,此时意味深长的问道。 Dionysius selected under one. 狄奥尼修斯点了一下头。 „Will you also come back?” The question of Pharacidas is so always straightforward. “你还会回来吗？”菲比达斯的问话总是这么直白。 The Dionysius complexion changes, he has not paid attention to Pharacidas, but to raises Luse to say in Larke of stern: „Sets sail!” 狄奥尼修斯脸色微变,他没有理会菲比达斯,而是对在船尾的拉克提鲁斯说道:“开船！” Larke raises Luse to make the sailor untie the cable immediately, the raising ship's sail. Now what although in the sea level blows is the east wind, is not the south wind, raises Luse regarding experienced Larke, this is not the issue, he is proficiently operating the ship's rudder, outside the express steamer likely arrow general moveing to harbor. 拉克提鲁斯立刻让水手解开缆绳,升起船帆。虽然现在海面上刮的是东风,不是南风,对于经验丰富的拉克提鲁斯来说,这都不是问题,他熟练的操纵着船舵,快船像箭一般的驶向港口外。 Dionysius is out of control to look, sees only Leptines also to stand beckoning that non-stop in the wharf. 狄奥尼修斯禁不住回望,只见莱普提涅斯还站在码头不停的招手。 The Dionysius look is low-spirited: He wants to lead the reinforcements to return to Scylletium, to defeat Theonia, again wins the prestige for him and Syracuse. However judged from all sorts of signs of present, after these returns to Syracuse , that suffers is not only several thousand people of Theonia armies, in the difficulty that in all probably encounters ensure he is stable in the Syracuse power, this is most important! Without the power, oneself and family members will die without the burial ground! 狄奥尼修斯神色黯然:他何尝不想率领援军返回西里庭、击败戴奥尼亚、重新为他和锡拉库扎赢回声望。但是从现在的种种迹象来判断,这一趟回锡拉库扎之后所遭遇到的困难绝不只是一个几千人的戴奥尼亚军队,在所有可能遇到的困难之中确保他在锡拉库扎的权力稳固,这才是最重要的！没有了权力,自己和家人都将死无葬身之地！ Dionysius is sober, to serve this purpose, other can discard! 狄奥尼修斯对此非常清醒,为了达到这一目的,其他的都可以舍弃！ .................................... ……………………………… The Syracuse allied armies surround the Theonia first regiment and refugee, must beat this landing force shortly at one fell swoop, the news of allied country riot but spreads one after another makes the Syracuse allied armies be thrown into confusion, to choose to retreat finally. The Theonia first regiment seized the chance to counter-attack, causing the Syracuse allied armies by retreating to turn retreated greatly. 锡拉库扎联军包围戴奥尼亚第一军团和流亡者,眼看就要一举击溃了这支登陆部队,但接连传来的盟邦暴乱的消息却让锡拉库扎联军阵脚大乱,最终不得不选择撤退。戴奥尼亚第一军团趁机反攻,导致锡拉库扎联军由撤退变成了大溃退。 Matthias led the cavalry to dash about wildly more than 20 li (0.5 km) to south, entered the broad Catania plain, this stopped escaping, started to send out the cavalry, drew in the routed troop everywhere, gathered more than 4000 people until the dusk. 马西阿斯带领骑兵一路向南狂奔了20多里,进入了广阔的卡塔尼亚平原,这才停止了逃跑,开始派出骑兵,四处收拢溃兵,直到黄昏才聚集了4000多人。 At this time, the mounted scout returned: The front Catania city sends out the army to attack and arrest the routed troop everywhere. 这时,侦骑回报:前方的卡塔奈城派出部队四处袭击和抓捕溃兵。 Matthias to be safe, has to lead the remnants to shift to the west. 马西阿斯为了安全,不得不率领残兵败将向西面转移。 They passed through several villages. In fact these villages were the Catania mercenary, but the slaves attacked once master, then followed the riot successful team to enter the Catania city, they also carried off the grain that in the village stored up. 他们途经了好几个村庄。实际上这些村庄原属于卡塔奈雇佣兵所有,但是奴隶们袭击了曾经的主人,然后跟随着暴乱成功的队伍进驻了卡塔奈城,他们还带走了村庄里储存的粮食。 Except for seeing a corpse of place, the routed troops have not plundered food that many can eat, although the Catania mercenaries in team a face is angry, but at this moment is difficult insurance including oneself , can only shed tears secretly. 除了看到一地的尸体,溃兵们没有搜刮到多少能吃的食物,队伍中的卡塔纳雇佣兵虽然一脸愤怒,但此刻连自身都难保,也只能暗暗垂泪。 The routed troops of despondency endure to be hungry and exhausted, the limping vanguard in the night, the edge southwest Catania territory, discovered finally a village had not been impacted by the riot. 士气低落的溃兵们忍着饥饿和疲惫,在黑夜中蹒跚前行,终于在卡塔纳领地西南面的边缘,发现一个村庄没有受到暴乱的冲击。 Facing so many soldiers, the villagers feel scared. 面对如此多的士兵,村民们感到恐慌。
