„...... I pretend to be the Thurii envoy, arrives at Sparta after several efforts finally, told to the Sparta elders at the elder powwow the disaster that Thurii suffers, and requested the reinforcements to them. The Sparta elders expressed the sympathy to our Thurii bitter experience, but does not have the reinforcements to send, but gave a proof that recruits the permission......” “……我冒充图里伊使者,经过几番努力终于到达斯巴达,在长老议事会上向斯巴达长老们讲述了图里伊所遭受的劫难,并向他们请求援军。斯巴达长老们对我们图里伊的遭遇表示了同情,但没有援军可派,而是给了一张招募许可的证明……” „Intelligent!” When Burkes at this point, Friis is out of control to commend loudly, several other generals also relax, it seems like Sparta is Athens provides the help to Thurii the matter, has not cared. “聪明！”布尔科斯说到这里时,斐瑞斯禁不住大声称赞,其他几位将军也松了口气,看来斯巴达对图里伊为雅典提供帮助的事,并没有太在意。 „Luckily we took the measure promptly, Sparta can by such approach we.” Kunogelata said in the one side, several generals expressed the support. No matter Sparta because whether Thurii expels the attitude that the Athens descendant's behavior changes, has not cared Thurii from the start, these once at pursuing Athens descendant matter had expressed the generals of support and approval need this false approval, scatters innermost feelings feeling of guilty. “幸亏我们及时地采取了措施,斯巴达才能以这样的态度对待我们。”库诺戈拉塔在一旁说道,几位将军表示赞同。不管斯巴达是否因为图里伊驱逐雅典后裔的行为才改变的态度,还是压根儿就没有将图里伊放在心上,这些曾在驱逐雅典后裔这件事上表示过支持和认同的将军们都需要这种虚假的认同,来驱散内心的罪恶感。 Burkes took a fast look around general one eyes , to continue saying: „I arrived at Miletus, in recruiting Drakos, Sesta and other mercenaries in period, I heard much led the Greek mercenaries about Cyrus the Younger, attacked Persia, the news that attempted to usurp the throne.” 布尔科斯扫视了众将军一眼,继续说道:“等我到了米利都,在招募了德拉克斯、塞斯塔等雇佣军的期间内,我听到了不少关于小居鲁士率领希腊雇佣军,进攻波斯、企图篡位的消息。” Several generals nod, do not look at Thurii far away from the Asia Minor thousand li (500 km) outside, but this news they are know that did not say Mediterranean East and West frequent merchant ship contact, is that group of mercenaries of earliest arrival, although can only be stationed outside the city, but has the small traders and peddlers unceasingly even ** goes to the military compound to do business, thus disseminates in some news and stories the city. 几位将军点点头,别看图里伊远离小亚细亚千里之外,但这消息他们是知道的,不说地中海东西方频繁的商船往来,就是最早到来的那批雇佣军虽然只能驻扎在城外,但是却不断有小商小贩甚至**前往军营做生意,从而把一些消息和故事传播到城里来。 „The Greek mercenaries rout the Persian king army, although Cyrus the Younger died in battle, but they are returning to Greece on the way of also beats Persia Governor Asia Minor repeatedly Tissaphernes, Armenian governor the Orontes army, it is said also killed Persia several famous general! Their marching thousand li (500 km), unceasing with the local indigenous fight, has makes Persians feel that much the headache mountainous region race, general, you said such Greek mercenaries are the fight experience are rich? Is the battle efficiency astonishing? Whether compared with the Sparta person?” “希腊雇佣军大败波斯王的大军,虽然小居鲁士战死,但他们在回希腊的途中还多次击败波斯小亚细亚总督蒂萨弗尼斯,亚美尼亚总督奥戎塔斯的部队,据说还杀死了波斯的几位著名的将领！他们行军千里,不断的与当地的土著战斗,这其中有不少让波斯人都感到头痛的山地种族,诸位将军,你们说这样的一只希腊雇佣军是不是战斗经验丰富？是不是战斗力惊人？是不是能够与斯巴达人相比？” „The army that you hire is-” in general some people could not have borne call out in alarm said: „Is that only expedites the Persia Greek mercenaries?!” “难道你雇佣的这支军队就是-”将军中有人已经忍不住惊呼道:“就是那只远征波斯的希腊雇佣军？！” „Yes, general.” Burkes saw the facial expression that the people surprisedly and interweave excitedly, in the heart a stone falls to the ground finally: „Our fight with Lucanians is defeated previous time, not only because of Axi Koulodo Kaess's carelessness, because also the citizens live for a long time in the peace, lacks the fight experience.” “是的,诸位将军。”布尔科斯看到众人惊奇与兴奋交织的神情,心中一块石头终于落地:“我们上一次与卢卡尼亚人的战斗之所以失败,不仅是因为阿西库洛多亚克斯的疏忽大意,也因为公民们长期生活在和平之中,缺乏战斗经验。” Actually after at that time the Thurii person repelled the invasion of Lucanians, storms into the Lucanians territory on a large scale on own initiative, is not Axi Koulodo Kaess wish, the entire Thurii entire citizens are promoting including the generals, this type intense wants to urge the army to have a low opinion of the enemy to advance recklessly on the land of enemy to the desire of Lucanians retaliation, finally is almost annihilated. 其实当时图里伊人打退卢卡尼亚人的入侵后,又大举主动攻入卢卡尼亚人领地,并非阿西库洛多亚克斯一人的意愿,整个图里伊全体公民包括将军们都在推动,这种强烈的想向卢卡尼亚人报复的欲望促使全军在敌人的土地上轻敌冒进,结果几乎全军覆没。 At this time Burkes is contrary to convictions advances after the responsibility for an offense on Axi Koulodo Kaess( this was also disastrous defeat at that time, scapegoat who Thurii ecclesia looks for), noticed that the generals nod the approval, despises secretly, but on the mouth is earnest saying: „ I think, if can hire such an army, the danger that then Thurii faces not only can be relieved, but can also give Lucanians by the huge blow. Therefore I arrange to be stationed in the tavern and inn, inquired the whereabouts and trend of Greek Expeditionary force momentarily. Soon, I knew that they arrive in the Heraclea city of you coastal area of Xinghai , Croatia, but I know simultaneously another not good news, ‚Sparta and Persia will soon make war, Sparta general raises Boulon even to be appointed as Governor Asia Minor, rushes to Miletus to start to recruit the army.’ I am afraid this Greek Expeditionary force to be recruited by Sparta, therefore rushes to Hellespontos by the express steamer at the same night, and found them in Byzantium. 布尔科斯此时违心的将罪责推到阿西库洛多亚克斯身上(这也是当时惨败之后,图里伊公民大会找的替罪羊),看到将军们点头赞同,不禁暗自鄙夷,但嘴上还是认真的说道:“我想如果能够雇佣到这样一支军队,那么图里伊面临的危险不但能被解除,还能给卢卡尼亚人以巨大的打击。于是我安排手下驻扎在酒馆和客栈,随时打听希腊远征军的下落和动向。不久之后,我得知他们到达攸克星海沿岸的赫拉克利亚城,但我同时知道了另一个不好的消息,‘斯巴达与波斯即将开战,斯巴达将领提布隆甚至被任命为小亚细亚总督,赶到米利都开始招募军队。’我害怕这支希腊远征军会被斯巴达招募,于是连夜乘快船赶到赫勒斯滂,并在拜占庭找到了他们。 However most mercenaries have been weary of the fight, is not willing to be far away from the hometown, to the remote and strange Thurii combat, the army that only then Captain Davos leads under the seduction of high pay I proposed, after I agreed to accept their some requests, agreed to accept the employment. But after I lead them goes by boat to leave Byzantium, but also by the Sparta fleet is intercepted, originally Sparta Governor Asia Minor raises Boulon to send the envoy to make the entire Greek Expeditionary force battle for him, Davos the army is in the expeditionary force is most outstanding, Persia several general in fact are dies in their hands. Because in my hand has the signed employment agreement, recruiting that also some Spartan’s Gerousia draw up permitted, simultaneously paid half Talent to bribe the Sparta envoy, can make the fleet allow to pass...... ” 但是大部分的雇佣兵都已经厌倦了战斗,不愿远离家乡,到遥远而陌生的图里伊作战,只有戴弗斯首领率领的这一支部队在我提出的高薪酬的诱惑下,在我同意接受他们的一些要求后,才同意接受雇佣。而就在我带领他们乘船离开拜占庭后,还被斯巴达的舰队截住,原来斯巴达小亚细亚总督提布隆派来使者想让整个希腊远征军为他作战,戴弗斯的这一支部队是远征军中最优秀的,波斯的几位将领实际上都是死在他们手中。只是因为我手中有已签署的雇佣协议,又有斯巴达长老议事会开具的招募许可,同时又自己付了半个塔连特贿赂斯巴达使者,才得以让船队放行……” „, Burkes after accepting us gives his duty, after dangers and difficulties, even is also in danger, he has not dreaded and not given up, but is utilizes his ability and wisdom and tenacity, finally completed recruiting, should say that completed the recruiting task more than we expected! Not was only Thurii brought in the strong help, meanwhile allowed us to understand attitude of Sparta to Thurii, we should thank him! The Thurii citizens should thank him!!” Friis said excitedly, takes the lead to applaud. “诸位,布尔科斯在接受我们赋予他的任务后,历经艰难险阻,甚至还有生命危险,他没有畏惧、也没有放弃,而是运用他的才智和坚韧,最终完成了招募,应该说是完成了超出我们预想的招募任务！不但为图里伊引来了强援,同时还让我们了解了斯巴达对图里伊的态度,我们应该感谢他！图里伊的公民都应该感谢他！！”斐瑞斯激动的说完,率先鼓起掌来。 Other generals also follow to applaud, the applause continued good one. 其它将军也跟着鼓掌,掌声持续了好一阵。 Burkes does not know that at this time should say what good. 布尔科斯此时倒不知该说什么好。 Kunogelata walks to go forward, face sincere saying: „Burkes, you are the Thurii hero! Please forgive the words that I spoke a moment ago, I should not to your such suspicion, but the Thurii financial problem made us have a headache recently very much. Are you willing to accept my apology?!” 库诺戈拉塔走上前,一脸真诚的说道:“布尔科斯,你是图里伊的英雄！请原谅我刚才所说的话,我不该对你那样的猜疑,只是最近图里伊的财务问题让我们很头疼。你愿意接受我的道歉吗？！” The Burkes nod indicated to accept. 布尔科斯点头表示接受。 Then, Nianses also expressed the apology. 接着,涅昂西斯也表达了歉意。 Another general Ansitanos said: „We should visit this Greek mercenaries leader who expedites Persia, to express Thurii to their welcome?” 另一位将军安西塔诺斯说道:“我们是不是应该去拜访这位远征波斯的希腊雇佣军首领,以表示图里伊对他们的欢迎？” „Ansitanos, I know that you want from their mouth to understand many Persia situations, to complete your teacher Herodotus that great «History» continuing do.” Kunogelata sincere saying: „But the present is not a good time, I acknowledged the army battle efficiency that Burkes said is truly astonishing, but they after all are the mercenaries, is a foreigner! But we represented Thurii! People need to know that was used to slaughter the soldier who bloody, while deterring enemy , may threaten itself, such example was not rare. We cannot indulge they, making them have the unnecessary fantasy. Moreover attaching great importance to do they, how another mercenaries think?! How do the Taranto reinforcements think?!” “安西塔诺斯,我知道你想从他们口中了解更多波斯的情况,以完成你老师希罗多德那部伟大的《历史》的续作。”库诺戈拉塔正色的说道:“但现在并不是好时候,我承认布尔科斯所说的这支部队确实战斗力惊人,但他们毕竟是雇佣军,是外邦人！而我们则代表了图里伊！大家要知道,习惯了血腥杀戮的士兵,在震慑敌人的同时,也可能会威胁自身,这样的例子并不少见。我们不能娇纵他们,让他们产生不必要的幻想。而且过于的重视他们,另一支雇佣军会怎么想？！塔兰图姆的援军又会怎么想？！” „Said right! They are only some freemen, is we spends to hire them to come to go to war for us!” Nianses calls loudly. “说的没错！他们只是一些自由民,是我们花钱雇佣他们来为我们打仗的！”涅昂西斯高声喊道。 Kunogelata seized the chance to continue, continued saying: „Nianses said right! The mercenaries are strong, mercenaries. We pay money, we are the employers. Do not carry out this relations instead!” 库诺戈拉塔趁机接过话头,继续说道:“涅昂西斯说得没错！雇佣军再强,也还是雇佣军。我们付钱,我们才是雇主。诸位别将这个关系搞反了！” Although with some differences of Kunogelata in the governance concept, Friis also has to nod saying: Right that „Kunogelata said. We press the beforehand mercenaries treatment to treat them, does not need to attach great importance.” 虽然与库诺戈拉塔在执政理念上有些分歧,斐瑞斯也不得不点头说道:“库诺戈拉塔说的对。我们就按之前的雇佣军待遇对待他们,没必要过于重视。” At this time, Nianses said: „Since we had the powerful reinforcements, Lucanians will soon launch the attack, do we want to discuss the response again?” 这时,涅昂西斯说道:“既然我们有了强大的援军,卢卡尼亚人又即将发动进攻,我们是不是要再重新讨论一下应对方案？” Kunogelata says immediately: „The village and farm outside city were restored, the wheat seed has also sown seeds, we must before Lucanian destroys the property of citizen again repels them!” 库诺戈拉塔立刻说道:“城外的村庄、农场都被重新修缮,小麦种子也都已经播种下去,我们必须在卢卡利亚人再次破坏公民的财产之前打退他们！” „The previous our disastrous defeats are time because is reckless, causing more than 10,000 citizens to be killed, therefore we must be prudent! Must know news that the basis spreads, Lucanians army quantity possibly over over ten thousand people.” Friis prudent saying: „However our soldier numbers add on the mercenaries, and Taranto reinforcements, most are about 9000 people, these also include many ages over 40-year-old citizen.” “上一次我们惨败就是因为过于冒进,导致一万多名公民被杀,因此我们必须慎重！要知道根据传来的消息,卢卡尼亚人的军队数量可能超过上万人。”斐瑞斯慎重的说道:“而我们的士兵数量加上雇佣军,以及塔兰图姆的援军,最多也不过九千人,这其中还包括不少年龄已超过40岁的公民。”
