The Sparta person knows that northern Carl Keedick peninsula position of Greece is quite important, its shape looks like a harpoon, by the person nickname is „the Poseidon trident”, happen to card from Greece to Black Sea the center-section of the important route, moreover listened to the envoy saying that ‚Olynthos is sending for actively with Thebes and Athens relation’, therefore the elder powwow was almost unanimously passed „to rescue Macedonia” the resolution. 斯巴达人知道北希腊的卡尔基迪克半岛位置相当重要,它形状像一把鱼叉,又被人昵称为“波塞冬的三叉戟”,正好卡在从希腊本土至黑海的这一条重要航路的中段,而且又听使者说,‘奥林图斯正在积极派人同底比斯和雅典联系’,所以长老议事会几乎是全票通过了“救援马其顿”的决议。 Actually an important point, the Sparta kings and elders obvious, have not said: That is they need Macedonia this northern ally to coordinate the Sparta person, south-north extrudes Thebes and Athens of two strategic activities spaces of strong nations central Greece, simultaneously the Macedonia huge manpower resources and powerful cavalry also Sparta need. 其实还有重要的一点,斯巴达的国王和长老们心照不宣、没有说出口:那就是他们需要马其顿这个北方的盟友配合斯巴达人,一南一北挤压希腊中部的底比斯、雅典两个强邦的战略活动空间,同时马其顿庞大的兵源和强悍的骑兵也正是斯巴达所需要的。 After making dispatched troops to decide, Agesilaus stands, look dignified saying: „I think that we before sending out the army go to Carchi Dick, best first determine another important matter.” 在作出了出兵决定之后,阿格西劳斯站起来,神色凝重的说道:“我想我们在派出军队去卡尔基狄克之前,最好先把另一件重要的事情确定下来。” His saying, the elders complexion in conference site changes, they know the important matter that Agesilaus said is anything, because will expire with Theonia the agreement of ten years of treaty of alliance several months later, for these days elder powwow on „whether continues to conclude treaty of alliance with Theonia” the issue has conducted the discussion, the result argument is intense. 他这话一出,会场内的长老们都脸色一变,他们都知道阿格西劳斯所说的重要事情是什么,因为与戴奥尼亚的十年盟约的协议再过几个月就到期了,这几天长老议事会就“是否与戴奥尼亚继续缔结盟约”的问题进行过商议,结果争论激烈。 The radical faction elders headed by young Sparta king Agassi Polis think: After the Corinth war ended, Sparta has become the Greek overlord, does not need to be worried again Theonia becomes troublesome. On the contrary, Sparta must suppress the expansion of Theonia, cannot the ignores it conquer with the Peloponnese peninsula is only away from a Adriatic Sea Apulia area, because this will pose the threat to the security of Sparta territory, after all this is one disregards the Sparta authority, to dare to threaten the Sparta Greece kingdom. 以年轻的斯巴达王阿格西波里斯为首的激进派长老们认为:科林斯战争结束之后,斯巴达已经重新成为希腊本土的霸主,无需再担心戴奥尼亚成为麻烦。相反,斯巴达必须抑制戴奥尼亚的扩张,不能放任它征服与伯罗奔尼撒半岛只隔着一个亚得里亚海的阿普利亚地区,因为这样会对斯巴达领地的安全造成威胁,毕竟这是一个无视斯巴达权威、敢于威胁斯巴达的“希腊”王国。 But wait/etc. the safe faction elders headed by Agesilaus( also in involving the Theonia issue is quite steady) thinks: Although Sparta takes advantage of „king peace treaty”, led the Greek situation, but before the Corinth war compares, Sparta not only the national strength has been weaken, but also the prestige is also dropping, Thebes, Athens and other city-state possibly flee to oppose with Sparta momentarily. In completes truly before various Greek city-state complete suppresses and integration, not only do not provoke this powerful kingdom, but must prevent Theonia active countermeasures Sparta to exercise „king contract” in Greece the authority of performer, therefore the supplementary contract is very necessary! 而以阿格西劳斯等为首的稳妥派长老们(也只是在涉及戴奥尼亚的问题上比较稳重)则认为:斯巴达虽然依仗“大王和约”,重新主导了希腊本土的局势,但是和科林斯战争之前相比,斯巴达不但国力有所减弱,而且威望也在下降,底比斯、雅典等城邦随时都可能窜出来与斯巴达作对。在真正完成对希腊本土各城邦的完全压制和统合之前,不但不要去招惹这个强大的王国,而且还要防止戴奥尼亚主动干扰斯巴达在希腊本土行使“大王合约”执行者的权威,因此续约是非常必要的！ „The Agesilaus king, must expire to January of next year with the Theonia agreement, enough four months, letting us this important issue consideration clear, does not need such hurried makes the decision.” Agassi Polis's uncle and once prince regent Prakke Sittace unhurriedly saying: „After all it is extremely important, relates to the Sparta later ten years of development, we must be prudent!” “阿格西劳斯王,与戴奥尼亚的协议要到明年1月才会到期,足足有四个月的时间,让我们将这个重要的问题考虑清楚,没有必要这么匆忙的去做决定。”阿格西波里斯的叔叔、曾经的摄政王普拉克西塔斯不慌不忙的说道:“毕竟它太过重要,关系到斯巴达之后十年的发展,我们必须慎重！” „Because of the importance of this treaty of alliance, it not only relates to the Sparta later ten years of development, relates to the war that we will soon launch, therefore I want everyone to make the decision as soon as possible!” Agesilaus sincere saying. “正是因为这份盟约的重要,它不但关系到斯巴达之后十年的发展,更关系到我们即将发动的这一场战争,所以我才要大家尽快作出决定！”阿格西劳斯正色的说道。 „We to are not a war that Chalkidian League conducts, but is a fight, so long as our armies set foot on the Chalcidice peninsula land, waits for the Olynthos person can only be a disastrous defeat.” Is 30-year-old Agassi Polis's self-confident saying, in the ten years he grows by the immature new king into the Sparta king who to obtain the Sparta soldiers approves, experienced many fights, particularly commands the army to destroy Mantinea, won many praises for him, stands among one group of 60-70 years old elders, his young especially conspicuous. “我们对卡尔基狄克同盟所进行的不是一场战争,不过是一场战斗,我们的军队只要踏上卡尔基狄克半岛的土地,等待奥林图斯人的只会是一场惨败。”已经是30岁的阿格西波里斯自信的说道,这十年他由稚嫩的新王成长为得到斯巴达战士们认同的斯巴达王,经历了不少的战斗,尤其是率军毁灭曼丁尼亚,为他赢得了不少赞誉,站在一群六七十岁的长老们中间,他的年轻尤为显眼。 Compared with high-spirited Agassi Polis, the 50-year-old Agesilaus not only foot has been lame, is gray-haired, the back also somewhat bent, his moderate saying: „War is unable to forecast that otherwise ten years ago we have not expected , helping an allied country Kiess's fight merely, finally evolves to continue ten years of war unexpectedly, letting Sparta has to depend upon our once Enemies Persia, finished that wars that consumed our too many strengths......” 和意气风发的阿格西波里斯相比,已经50多岁的阿格西劳斯不但脚跛,头发花白,背也有些弯了,他语气平和的说道:“战争是无法预测的,否则在十年前我们也没有料想到,仅仅是帮助盟邦佛基斯的一场战斗,最后竟然演变成持续十年的战争,让斯巴达不得不依靠我们曾经的敌人-波斯,才结束了那场消耗了我们太多力气的战争……” The Agesilaus words make the elders fall into the recollection, then often sends out to sigh to sigh. 阿格西劳斯的话让长老们陷入回忆,然后不时发出喟叹。 „Now the soldier must be far away from Peloponnese, goes to us never to fight the northern Greek area- Carl Keedick peninsula, heard that there situation is very complex, not only there is an internal city-state battle, but also involves Macedonia and Thessaly two populous areas, even Thebes and Athens and they have the relation, can our interferences produce a new war? This must make our vigilance!” The Agesilaus words let the elders looking pensive. “现在我们的战士要远离伯罗奔尼撒,前往我们从未战斗过的北希腊地区-卡尔基迪克半岛,听说那里的情况十分复杂,不但有内部城邦的争斗,还牵涉到马其顿、塞萨利两个人口众多的地区,甚至底比斯、雅典和他们也有联系,我们的干涉会不会引发一场新的战争？这必须引起我们的警惕！”阿格西劳斯的话让长老们若有所思。 „Since expedites Carl Keedick possibly to have such fearful result, then the Agesilaus king, why you also supported to start this expedition a moment ago.” Prakke Sittace laughs at speaking insincerely of Agesilaus. “既然远征卡尔基迪克可能会产生这么可怕的结果,那么阿格西劳斯王,你刚才为什么还支持发动这次的远征。”普拉克西塔斯嗤笑阿格西劳斯的言不由衷。 Agesilaus as before not anxiously not angry rebuttal: „ I support the expedition, because this serves the Sparta benefit, whatever if Chalkidian League expands, but does not control, then other Greek city-state will take it as an example forms an alliance in abundance, this not only will make ‚king contract’ lose the potency, will vacillate Sparta in the Greek prestige. Let alone bosses around Macedonia, conquers Greek city-state on Carchi Dick island, helping us occupy the route to lead to Black Sea, with the aim of threatening Athens not to dare to oppose Sparta in the future. However to be cautious, before going to battle, we should continue with the Theonia union agreement, to guarantee works as the war expansion of northern Greece, Theonia will not meddle. 阿格西劳斯依旧不急不恼的反驳道:“我支持远征,因为这是符合斯巴达的利益,如果任由卡尔基狄克同盟壮大而不加管束,那么其他希腊城邦就会以它为榜样纷纷结盟,这样不但会让‘大王合约’失去效力,也会动摇斯巴达在希腊本土的威望。何况笼络马其顿,征服卡尔基狄克岛上的希腊城邦,有利于我们占据通向黑海的航道,以便威胁雅典将来不敢反对斯巴达。但是为了稳妥起见,在出征之前,我们应该将与戴奥尼亚的同盟协议继续,以保证当北希腊的战争扩大的时候,戴奥尼亚不会插手进来。 Even if we conquered Carchi Dick, Argos, Athens and Thebes...... these city-state harbor discontentedly to us, to restore to the Peloponnesian War later prosperity, Sparta also requires the time, therefore I do not hope that...... vigorously develops in Sparta in this period of time, presents similar Corinth in time of war in west Mediterranean ‚Persia’, is awkward with Sparta! Once renews a contract with Theonia, from the beforehand ten years, Theonian also keeps the word...... ” 而且就算我们征服了卡尔基狄克,还有阿哥斯、雅典、底比斯……这些城邦对我们怀着不满,要想恢复到伯罗奔尼撒战争之后的繁荣,斯巴达还需要时间,所以我不希望……在斯巴达努力发展在这段时间内,在西地中海出现一个类似科林斯战争时期的‘波斯’,与斯巴达为难！而一旦与戴奥尼亚续约,从之前十年来看,戴奥尼亚人还算是守信用的……” „We want to renew a contract, Theonia may not be possible to agree that renews a contract with us.” Prakke Sittace coldly said. “我们想要续约,戴奥尼亚可不一定会同意跟我们续约。”普拉克西塔斯冷冷说道。 „That happen to cannot survey Theonia to harbor the evil intention to Sparta, we can also make the prevention ahead of time.” Agesilaus calm reply. “那不正好可以探测出戴奥尼亚对斯巴达怀有恶意,我们也能提前做出预防。”阿格西劳斯冷静的回答。 „Makes us go with Theonia to renew a contract to the colony on own initiative, harms the Sparta prestige! Why didn't call Theonia to send for the Sparta supplementary contract?!” Agassi Polis some unwilling saying. “让我们主动到殖民地去跟戴奥尼亚续约,有损于斯巴达的威名！为什么不叫戴奥尼亚派人来斯巴达续约？！”阿格西波里斯有些不甘心的说道。 Agesilaus looks at this with the compound Sparta king, on the face appears a vague happy expression, persuaded by the tone of elder: „Sparta has a proverb, ‚magnificent clothes were inferior that the solid homespun cloth is durable.’ Since we summed to dozens years of Greek mortal enemy Persia on own initiative, and provokes the infamy for this reason, why also to care toward Magna Graecia goes to one! During Corinth war, is not we voluntarily requests and Theonia signs the agreement! All that we make for the great strength of Sparta, individual honor or disgrace were considered as anything!” 阿格西劳斯看着这位与自己并列的斯巴达王,脸上浮现一丝若有若无的笑意,以长辈的口吻劝说道:“斯巴达有一句老话,‘华丽的衣裳不如结实的粗布耐用。’既然我们都主动向几十年的希腊死敌波斯求和了,并为此招惹骂名,又何必在意往大希腊去一趟呢！难道科林斯战争期间,不是我们主动要求与戴奥尼亚签署协议的吗！我们所做的一切都是为了斯巴达的强大,个人的荣辱又算得了什么！” The Agesilaus words saying the elders again and again to nod, Agassi Polis is incapable of refuting. Although the Agesilaus danger dangerous sitting the throne, he biggest supporter Laishan virtue died in battle in the past less than several years, but he at elder powwow not only had not been treated coldly, but also after more than ten years of operations, the domestic influence actually increases day by day, particularly at elder powwow. Because these Sparta elders when is young is the fierce soldier, but now is the 60-70 years old old man, with its adventure, they mostly likes safely. 阿格西劳斯的一番话说得长老们连连点头,阿格西波里斯则无力反驳。虽然当年阿格西劳斯险之又险的坐上了王位,他最大的支持者莱山德没过几年就阵亡了,但他在长老议事会不但没受冷落,而且经过十多年的经营,在国内的影响力却是与日俱增,尤其是在长老议事会。因为这些斯巴达长老虽然年轻时都是勇猛的战士,但现在都是六七十岁的老头子,与其冒险,他们大多更喜欢稳妥。 But Agesilaus is one likes exceeding with the strategy exactly with the king of fist, initially was his first proposed that summed to Persia, when the elder powwow voted on this matter, overwhelming majorities approved that „immediately goes to Theonia discussion supplementary contract” the incident. 而阿格西劳斯恰是一位喜欢用谋略胜过用拳头的国王,当初就是他第一个提议向波斯求和的,因此长老议事会就此事进行表决时,绝大多数都赞成“立刻前往戴奥尼亚商谈续约”一事。 The envoy candidate is also quick to be chosen, he was the past years is responsible for signing the treaty of alliance with Theonia guest Lysippos. 使者人选也很快被挑选出来,他就是当年负责与戴奥尼亚签署盟约的客里索普斯。 .......................................... …………………………………… In the Sicily island inland central Siculians cities- Roy raises raises, many Siculians tribe leaders get together again. 在西西里岛内陆中央的西凯尔人城镇-凯法罗伊提昂,不少西凯尔人部落首领再次聚会。 The one who sits on head is Nick secure Tribe leader Acoris, he is taking a fast look around the people, said loudly: „Leader, Thurii spread the news, Rao Xi'an and Laixi Peyrat Tus and the others had been arrested by Theonian, it is said that must be placed on trial quickly, these matters that we did before definitely were also known by Theonian, perhaps they are arranging the army, must declare war to us!” 坐在上首的是塔尼克安部落首领阿科里斯,他扫视着众人,大声说道:“诸位首领,图里伊传来消息了,拉奥狄西安、莱西佩拉图斯等人已经被戴奥尼亚人抓捕,据说很快就要被审判,我们之前所做的那些事也一定被戴奥尼亚人知道了,说不定他们正在筹备军队,要向我们宣战！” Finishes speaking, in the crowd presents a big tumult. 话音刚落,人群中就出现一阵大的骚动。 The leaders are difficult to cover the shock on face, a leader stands, anxious asking: „Hacaud Captain, are you positive news obtained? Hearsay that hears?” 首领们难掩脸上的震惊,一位首领站起来,不安的问道:“阿科尼斯首领,你是得到的确切消息？还是听到的传闻？” „If I said that is the precise information, how you will do? Captain Ze Mathis!” Hacaud Nice stares the big eyes, like must eat the wild animal of person wickedly is staring at him. “如果我说是确切的消息,你会怎么做？泽马西斯首领！”阿科尼斯瞪大双眼,就像要吃人的野兽恶狠狠的盯着他。 „Naturally...... naturally is saying that sends people the whereabouts Theonia council explanation......” Ze Mathis to speak haltingly. “当然……当然是派人去向戴奥尼亚元老院解释……”泽马西斯嗫嚅的说道。 „What explained?!” With satire that Hacaud Nice relations close another leader Arpide despises: „Explained why you must annex other tribe, snatches to be own waiting on concubine the wife of other leader?!” “解释什么？！”跟阿科尼斯关系密切的另一位首领阿皮德斯鄙夷的讽刺道:“解释你为什么要吞并别的部落,把别的首领的妻子抢来做自己的侍妾？！” Nearby several leaders spread the laughter that disdains. 旁边几位首领传出不屑的笑声。 „Begs for mercy to Theonia is useless!” Hacaud Nice violent force pats the arm rest, „shouting” stands, looks at the leaders, said loudly: „Had a look at Theonia to treat the method of alien race person in the past! Lucania was annexed! Bruttii was annexed! Messapi compels to be annexed! Peuceti was annexed! Now they are also annexing Dauni! Theonia will not allow the alien race to exist independently! Perhaps in that greedy King Theonia in the eye, our Siculians has become his next annexation target! We violate the treaty of alliance, attacks and embezzles other tribe, has given him to start the excuse of war, perhaps the Theonia army is being dispatched on the Sicily road!......” “向戴奥尼亚求饶是没有用的！”阿科尼斯猛力一拍扶手,“呼”的站起来,看着首领们,大声说道:“看看戴奥尼亚以往对待异族人的手段吧！卢卡尼亚被吞并！布鲁提被吞并！梅萨皮逼被吞并！普切蒂被吞并！现在他们还正在吞并道尼！戴奥尼亚根本就不会允许异族独立存在！说不定在那位贪婪的戴奥尼亚国王眼中,我们西凯尔人早就成为他的下一个吞并目标！我们违反盟约,攻击和侵吞别的部落,已经给了他发动战争的借口,说不定戴奥尼亚的部队正在被派遣来西西里的路上！……” The leaders are in an uproar, everyone's anxious whispering. 首领们又是一片哗然,大家不安的交头接耳。 Some leaders ask immediately loudly: „Hacaud Nice, what to do should we?!” 有首领立刻大声问道:“阿科尼斯,我们该怎么办？！”
