The news that the Crotone army defeats passes to the Crotone city, the entire city is shocked. 克罗托内大军战败的消息传到克罗托内城,全城震惊。 The powwow that convenes in the city hall urgently is conducting the vigorous argument. 在市政厅紧急召开的议事会里进行着激烈的争论。 Chief general Milo gives scolding Amendolara despicable( refers to sneak attack) and incompetent of Melanseus, the proposition organizes an army to crusade against Amendolara again, sets up the Crotone prestige again. 首席将军米隆一面痛骂阿门多拉腊的卑鄙(指偷袭)和梅兰修斯的无能,一面提议再组织一支军队去讨伐阿门多拉腊,重树克罗托内的威名。 Lysias attacks Milo, thinks: His burning city order caused the anxiety of surrounding city-state, is hostile to Crotone, now Crotone suffers the rout, should not again the resorting to arms soldier, in order to avoid encounters Locri, Taranto, Amendolara and other city-state besieging. 吕西阿斯则抨击米隆,认为:正是他的焚城命令引起了周围城邦的不安,转而敌视克罗托内,现在克罗托内遭遇大败,不应该再动刀兵,以免遭到洛克里、塔兰图姆、阿门多拉腊等城邦的围攻。 both sides have the fan respectively, was unyielding. 双方各有拥趸,争执不下。 After quite a while, Amendolara Thurii after alliance(, is called Tua Alliance) deliberately the news of dissemination to transmit again: Tua Alliance captured more than 5000 Crotonians, captures Aprustum and Scylletium approximately 1000 people, captures Krimisa and Roscianum 1200 people, freeman and slave more than 1000 people...... 半天之后,阿门多拉腊-图里伊联盟(以后简称图阿联盟)刻意散播的消息再次传来:图阿联盟俘虏了五千多克罗托内人,俘虏阿斯普鲁斯图姆和西里庭约一千人,俘虏克里米萨和卡斯特隆一千二百人,还有自由民和奴隶一千多人…… The sad Crotone people heard this news, saw the hope. They gather, exerts pressure on the powwow to the city hall, the request redeems their family members. 悲伤的克罗托内民众听到了这个消息,看到了希望。他们集合起来,到市政厅向议事会施压,要求赎回他们的亲人。 But at this time also had the news to transmit: Tua Alliance and Taranto become offensive and defensive alliance. 而这时又有消息传来:图阿联盟与塔兰图姆成为攻守同盟。 Milo no longer stickles finally, the powwow after the discussion, decided finally sends Lysias to take the envoy, goes abroad on a diplomatic mission Thurii, redeems the Crotone captive in Tua Alliance hand, when necessary can sign a truce to conduct peace talks. 米隆终于不再坚持己见,议事会经过讨论,最终决定派吕西阿斯作为使者,出使图里伊,赎回图阿联盟手中的克罗托内俘虏,必要时可以签订一个停战和议。 Lysias leads the envoy group to travel by boat toward north, is catching up running free, quite a while the time was less than arrived at the Crati river estuary, here he saw surprised one: The innumerable merchant ship dense and numerous arrangements in Hekou, just like together the railroad tie wall, among the wooden walls often has the ships to drive out, and has the ships from collect unceasingly in all directions...... 吕西阿斯带领使者团坐船往北,正赶上顺风,半天时间不到就来到了克拉蒂河入海口,在这里他见到了惊奇的一幕:无数的商船密密麻麻的排列在河口,犹如一道道木墙,木墙之间不时有船只驶出,而又不断有船只从四面八方汇集过来…… Wasn't the Thurii city burnt down? How many do such merchants come the trade? The Lysias heart has the doubts. 图里伊城不是被焚毁了吗？怎么还有这样多的商船来贸易？吕西阿斯心有疑惑。 Quick, his doubts the explanation, a crude fishing boat welcomed: „Hi, you are buy and sell the thing, discussed the matter?” A bow man said loudly. 很快,他的疑惑得到了解答,一艘简陋的渔船迎了上来:“嗨,你们是来买卖东西的,还是来谈事的？”船头一个男子大声说道。 After accompanying the instruction of Lysias, asked back: „Are you to do what?” 随从得了吕西阿斯的指示后,反问道:“你是干什么的？” „Saw design that on the ship's sail draws up.” The male facial expression favorite hand refers to upward, on the ship's sail the black hair twines weapon that central cold light is sparkling like the flame- that is Hades symbol bident: „Knows that our archon Sir Davos is the Hades descendant! I called Sekrian, the present is the bombardier-navigator who commercial officer Sir Marigi appointed, was responsible for maintaining unobstructed of route, you must tell me you are make anything, otherwise I can only ask you to leave, in order to avoid the route of block following ships.” “看到船帆上绘制的图案了吗。”男子神情得意的手往上指,船帆上黑发如同火焰缠绕着中央的一件寒光闪闪的武器-那是冥王的标志双股叉:“知道吗,我们的执政官戴弗斯大人是哈迪斯的后裔！我叫塞克利安,现在是商务官马里吉大人任命的领航员,负责维护航道的通畅,你必须告诉我你们是来做什么的,否则我只能请你们离开,以免挡住后面船只的航路。” Lysias hesitant, makes the decision resolutely, shouts to the opposite party: „We the envoy from Crotone, come to negotiate with Tua Alliance especially!” 吕西亚斯犹豫了一下,毅然作出决定,向对方喊道:“我们是来自克罗托内的使者,特地来与图阿联盟谈判的！” Angry, has not had the insult and other unusual mood, Secli secure facial expression is instead tranquil, nods saying: „Your Crotone also really can calm down, now. Roscianum, Krimisa and Scylletium envoy came early!” 没有愤怒、没有辱骂等异常情绪,塞克里安反而神情平静,点点头说道:“你们克罗托内还真沉得住气,现在才来。卡斯特隆、克里米萨、西里庭的使者早来了！” In the Lysias heart moves, accompanies curious asking: „How aren't you angry?!” 吕西阿斯心中一动,随从则好奇的问道:“你怎么不生气？！” „Why I must be angry, because you are Crotonians.” Secli secure shrugs: „You burnt Thurii, but I am not the Thurii citizen, I am only a freeman. On the contrary, I am very grateful your Crotone.” “我为什么要生气,就因为你们是克罗托内人。”塞克里安耸耸肩:“你们烧了图里伊,可我不是图里伊公民,我只是一个自由民。相反,我还挺感激你们克罗托内。” Kerien mysterious smiles, then said: „First did not tell you, walks toward in my ship quickly, do not keep off the route.” 塞克里安神秘的一笑,然后说道:“先不跟你们多说,快跟我的船往里走,不要挡着航道。” Secli Ann's fishing boat is leading Lysias travels by boat to enter Crati river, swims the navigation upward. 塞克里安的渔船领着吕西阿斯的坐船进入克拉蒂河,往上游航行。 Lysias looked into the north bank Hekou, the faintly visible shore put up several simple wooden wharves, had the cargo to unload from the merchant ship unceasingly, from conducted the back the car(riage) to transport the cargo arrives to the wharf not far fortified village, its position as if on the Sybaris old city. 吕西阿斯眺望北岸河口,隐约可见岸边搭起了几个简易的木质码头,不断有货物从商船上卸下,由一个个驮车将货物运送到离码头不远的土围子里,它的位置似乎就绪巴里斯旧城址。 Lysias frowns. Initially Crotone sent the envoy to interrogate why Thurii violated the agreement is to obtain the powwow complete personnel agreed that but regarding dispatching troops to attack Thurii and for the envoy revenging incident, Lysias has the opposing opinion, he thinks: Accepts the apology of Thurii, obtains many compensations, has served the Crotone purpose, does not need to dispatch troops to go to battle again, not only tires the people and squanders resources, and will fear will have the accident/surprise to happen. Finally, after Crotone disastrous defeat, now Thurii does not need to care about the Crotone attitude finally, restarts using the Sybaris old city. 吕西阿斯皱起眉头。当初克罗托内派使者质问图里伊为何违反协议是获得议事会全部人员同意的,但对于派兵攻打图里伊、为使者报仇一事,吕西阿斯是持反对意见,他认为:接受图里伊的道歉,获得更多的赔偿,已经达到了克罗托内的目的,没必要再派兵出战,既劳民伤财,又怕会有意外发生。结果,克罗托内惨败之后,如今图里伊终于不用在意克罗托内的态度,重新开始利用起绪巴里斯旧城。 „You had not said why can thank our Crotone?” In envoy group some people in bow curious loud asking. “你还没说为什么要感谢我们克罗托内？”使者团中有人在船头好奇的大声问道。 Where on Secli fishing boat replied loudly: „This is not the obvious matter! Without your Crotone burns down Thurii, will not have Amendolara and Thurii forms an alliance, will not have Davos, when our archon . He is the Hades descendant, the status is so noble, may actually extremely care to the people, also has the slave to our freemen not only has not discriminated, but also quite friendly, like treating citizen! You had heard was proposed «Amendolara Immigration Law» that and formulated by Sir Davos? It should not be called «Tua Alliance Immigration Law» now.” 塞克里安在渔船上大声回答:“这不是明显的事吗！如果没有你们克罗托内焚毁图里伊,也不会有阿门多拉腊与图里伊结盟,也就不会有戴弗斯当我们的执政官。他可是哈迪斯的后裔,身份那么高贵,可对民众却非常关心,对我们自由民还有奴隶不但没有歧视,而且相当的友好,就像对待公民一样！你们听说过由戴弗斯大人提出并制定的《阿门多拉腊移民法》吗？哦不,它现在应该叫做《图阿联盟移民法》。” Crotonians shakes the head. 克罗托内人摇头。 Secli secure „you are friendless and unlearned” the facial expression, said the Immigration Law approximate content loudly, then exciting saying: „Sir Davos said that and other Thurii cities construct initially, this bill must start to be implemented. All wants to become the Thurii citizen, the freemen who and good behavior can arrive at household register officer there to apply to register, heard that becomes the preparation citizen, can enlist in the military to go to war, obtains the share place! Now my companions are working desperately, wish one could to be able Thurii to construct tomorrow, perhaps when next time you will come, I have become the official citizen!” 塞克里安一副“你孤陋寡闻”的神情,大声将移民法的大致内容说出来,然后兴奋的说道:“戴弗斯大人说等图里伊城初步建好,这条法案就要开始实施。所有想要成为图里伊公民、并且表现良好的自由民都可以到户籍官那里去申请登记,听说成为了预备公民,就能参军打仗,获得份地！现在我的同伴们都在拼命干活,恨不得明天就能把图里伊建好,说不定下次你们来时,我就已经成为正式的公民了！” Sees a Secli secure being infatuated appearance, some people cannot bear refute saying: „Had not heard which city-state readily will make the outsider the citizen, perhaps this what Immigration Law is deceives people, to let you goes all out works to arrange for them!” 看到塞克里安一副陶醉的样子,有人忍不住驳斥道:“从来没有听说过哪个城邦会这么轻易的让外来人成为公民,说不定这个什么移民法是骗人的,为了让你们拼命的为他们干活才编出来的！” „Shuts your mouth, do not speak irresponsibly!” Secli secure is angry: „Sir Davos stands in the bill that in front of all our freemen and slaves announced possibly is how fake! Who is Sir Davos?! Initially facing the threat of Thurii, rather broke diplomatic relation, the escape slave who must take out money to give the commitment was free! Compels under the city facing your Crotone army, rather battles with you, does not hope breaks diplomatic relation with seized Thurii! Sir Davos with the fact certificate he is a person who sticks to the commitment, the words that therefore he spoke I believe that all of us believe! Because you are the envoy who negotiated, I deliver you to feed the fish to the river in now!!” “闭上你的嘴,不要乱说！”塞克里安大怒:“戴弗斯大人站在我们所有自由民和奴隶面前宣布的这条法案怎么可能是假的！戴弗斯大人是什么人？！当初面对图里伊的威胁,宁可断交,也要掏钱给予承诺的逃亡奴隶自由！面对你们克罗托内的大军逼到城下,宁愿与你们交战,也不愿与被占领的图里伊断交！戴弗斯大人用事实证明他是一个坚守承诺的人,所以他说的话我信,我们所有人都信！要不是因为你是来谈判的使者,我现在就送你到河里喂鱼！！” The Crotonians bulge is blushing, cannot bear wants to shout insults, Lysias stopped the impulsion of accompanying. 克罗托内人胀红着脸,忍不住就想大声辱骂,吕西阿斯制止了随从的冲动。 Gaze that Secli secure coldly rear area the sound of this ship, seeing the aspect is quickly peaceful, instead is a little disappointed, he spat a phlegm toward the side rear river surface intentionally loudly, then no longer responds them. 塞克里安冷冷的注视着后方这艘船的动静,见局面很快安静下来,反而有点失望,他故意朝侧后方的河面大声吐了口痰,然后不再搭理他们。 Lysias is lost in thought: According to him, Thurii present citizens perhaps not over 3000 people, but the Amendolara citizen most estimated that only then 4000 people, Crotone is only this city citizens reaches as high as more than 30,000 people, attached Aprustum and union city-state Scylletium, Caulonia wait/etc, the strength is completely huge difference. But if Tua Alliance can uses for it here over ten thousand freemen and slaves, truly needs to bring to the attention. This hurriedly makes from various localities, various foreign land people of bosom disloyalty the city-state citizen, how many their loyalty to the city-state can with be the indigenous people of city-state citizen compares? 吕西阿斯陷入沉思:据他所了解,图里伊现在的公民人数恐怕不会超过三千人,而阿门多拉腊公民最多估计只有四千人,克罗托内光是本城公民人数就高达三万多人,还有附属的阿斯普鲁斯图姆、同盟城邦西里庭、考伦尼亚等等,实力完全是天壤之别。但如果图阿联盟能将这里的上万自由民和奴隶都为它所用,确实就需要引起注意了。只是这样急匆匆的让来自各地、各怀异心的异邦人成为城邦公民,他们对城邦的忠诚能与几代人都是城邦公民的原住民相比吗？ Lysias deeply was skeptical. 吕西阿斯深深表示怀疑。 He is staring at the river surface, seeing on many ship's sails to diagram the bident design the fishing boat to come and go exceptionally busily,...... 他凝望着河面,看见有不少船帆上绘有双股叉图案的渔船来来往往、异常忙碌…… When the front river bank presents the city wall that stands tall and erect, Lysias knows that the Thurii city will draw near, his vision will look to the overlooking the river turret in city wall, in the past these two barriers confronted sky over the turret that will look at to connect a iron chain, will be quite magnificent, when the enemy ship will attack, the iron chain will put down, preventing the enemy to enter the Thurii city from the waterway, finally this Melanseus use traitor within, will storm into south city directly, making this iron chain not play a role, but now has disappeared, should cutting off...... remembers Melanseus by Melanseus, although Lysias will relate with Melanseus is not quite good, even governance concept completely. On the contrary, but when after hearing his pitiful fate,( the Thurii people kill, covered with blood, completely cannot see human appearance), feels sad. 当前方河岸出现高耸的城墙,吕西阿斯知道图里伊城快到了,他的目光看向城墙上的临河塔楼,以往这两座隔阂对峙而望的塔楼上空连接着一条铁链,颇为壮观,而当敌船来袭时,铁链就会放下,阻止敌人从水路进入图里伊城,结果这一次梅兰修斯利用内奸,直接攻入南城,让这条铁链没发挥一点作用,而现在已经不见踪影,应该是被梅兰修斯给砍断了吧……想起梅兰修斯,虽然吕西阿斯跟梅兰修斯关系并不太好,甚至执政理念完全相反,但听闻他悲惨的下场后(被图里伊民众打死时,血肉模糊,完全看不出人样),也不禁感到悲戚。 Secker Lyan's wharf of fishing boat in Thurii city approaches shore, he first disembarks, one team of soldiers of running whereabouts guarding in wharf reported the situation. 塞科利安的渔船在图里伊城的码头靠岸,他先下了船,跑去向驻守在码头的一队士兵汇报了情况。 That team of soldiers under team leader's leadership, walk quickly to here. 那队士兵在队长的带领下,很快向这边走来。 Crotonians notices even in city, this team of soldiers are still maintaining the complete formation. 克罗托内人注意到即使是在城内,这队士兵依然保持着完整的队形。 „General, we should disembark.” Accompanies to remind pondering Lysias. “将军,我们该下船了。”随从提醒正在思考的吕西阿斯。 Recovering Lysias is observing the situation the surroundings: He had come Thurii several times, at that time the harbor of Thurii city had more than ten wharves, stone made/system, wooden, hundreds and thousands of ships anchored, harbor area had the warehouse, hotel and house to be close, was lively and disorderly. But now here only has several alone stone system wharves, everywhere is burned black one piece, naturally this is the Crotonians masterpiece! 回过神来的吕西阿斯环视着周围:他曾经来过图里伊几次,那时候图里伊城的港口有十几个码头,石制的、木质的,有成百上千船只停靠,港口区有仓库、旅馆、住宅鳞次栉比,繁华而杂乱。而现在这里只剩下几个孤零零的石制码头,到处是焦黑一片,当然这都是克罗托内人的杰作！ Lysias look tranquil disembarking, that team of soldier similar look tranquil inspections they, after the confirmation is the Crotone envoy rolls, immediately soldier equitation whereabouts council report, but makes the envoy group continue to wait same place. 吕西阿斯神色平静的下了船,那一队士兵同样神色平静的检查完他们,确认是克罗托内的使者团后,立即有一名士兵骑马去向元老院汇报,而让使者团继续在原地等候。 Secli secure returns to the fishing boat, the eye is pouring the ashore powerfully patrol team leader, for a while is somewhat in a daze unexpectedly. Until the companion reminded him: „Secli secure, should leave the wharf!” 塞克里安回到渔船上,目注着岸上威风凛凛的巡逻队长,一时竟有些发呆。直到同伴过来提醒他:“塞克里安,该离开码头了！”
