Chapter 5 Brutus' Confusion (2)

Just because of the eyeliner in Brutu, who was placed in Rome, also received news that Turinus was exiled and imprisoned, and it was known that the entire Rome city was holding a warm and lasting celebration. The consul election had just been settled, and new officials were returning the votes of the people in the form of competition, racing and dining. ∽↗

"The four legions of Libida have just arrived in Lucania and have not yet gone to Brindisi or Ravenna in the north. It seems that he is still hesitating before spring comes!" At the military meeting in Athens, Brutu pointed to the map hanging on the wall of the chamber and said to all the subordinates of the Generals, "That is, our freedom period is still three to four months. I am determined to give up the winter camp and lead the previous four legions and the newly recruited two new recruits. Starting from Athens, we will first defeat the seven legions left by Caesar in Epirus who were rushing for the loss of the commander!"

"Are you sure?" Sitting in the seat, the young Horace had bright eyes and exchanged a confident attitude with Virgil, and then asked Brutu, who might not need an answer, but Brutu's passion to answer the question.

"Of course I'm sure that the combat power of these seven legions is nothing more than two or three second-rate legions under Caesar's camp, and there are three new recruits. When Caesar was still there, the seven of them were not our opponents. Now I have no reason to be afraid of them! As long as we annihilate these seven legions, we will have the strength to compete with Li Bida in the next year. If we do nothing in this winter camp, then the final chance will be lost." Brutu clenched his fists and answered Horace's question loudly.

So all the young generals, with poets as the main representative, stood up and cheered and clapped to respond. They were full of passion and passion. It seemed that in the previous war, they could no longer hold any opponents in their eyes. Now all they needed was to follow Brutu and the battle flag of the Republic, destroy all the enemies blocking them and kill them.

But Sibalas, Karata Femius, and the general of the Etolian cavalry, expressed opposition.

Sibalas was the financial officer appointed by Caesar in the province of Bitinia, and he was the oldest in this camp. He also received support from Italian veterans (these veterans were the backbone of Brutu's army), so others recommended Sibalas to speak, and he stood up to advise Brutu:

"Master, if Turinus is compared to a swan bird, it has broken its wings and cannot fly, which is indeed a great news for us. But if we want to take advantage of the situation, we must have a careful judgment on the enemy's situation. This is also the greatest advantage and mystery of Caesar's military use in the past. He will never give up on himself because of failure. He will not be bold and bold because of success. As far as I know, the two brothers Agripa are now the two brothers Agripa Xian in the battle formation. In the past, it can be said that Turinus, as the head coach, has dragged the performance of this young man - and his brother Lucius is Libida's confidant, so if Libida did not conduct the winter camp, and reinforced to join Epirus's battle group, our chances of victory and escape would be very slim. I hope to think twice about this, Master Brutu!"

Brutu first politely expressed his sincere gratitude to the veteran's advice, and then explained, "Li Bida exiled Turinus and removed Anthony. Now the city of Rome over there is a confusion and chaos. The power is in disguise and the enemy's legions will be integrated. But in other words, this opportunity is the only chance we may have left. If we watch it slip away, the Republic will be doomed."

"No, I don't agree with the decisive battle." Athenian Karata Femius continued to stand up and retorted, "Now our main attack direction should not be placed in the west, but in the east. The defense of the thieves of Libida there is relatively weak - the three legions of Lufio in Egypt are still swaying, and Libida's only vassal state of Libida is enemy of me, and Kasio has just made great progress in the war against Rhode Island - so now we should leave a legion to defend Athens, and the rest of the main forces advance eastward, subdue important maritime strongholds such as Crete, Cyprus, and Respos, block Libida from overseas, and then specialize in the attack on Ionia and Silesia in Xiaoya, and gain a foothold."

"Do you even want your hometown Athens? Everyone knows that at the latest when winter ends, Li Bida will surely urge the army to come and capture Athens!"

"Even if it makes great sacrifices, as long as we control the transportation and advantages of the sea and stick to my hometown in turn, we can defeat Li Bida's offensive. For the sake of republic and democracy, Athens is not the first time to sacrifice, and I hope this is not its last time." Carata Femius was passionate and reached the ** on the entire meeting.

"But Li Bida still has two main legions, namely the Sixteenth Legion and the Twenty-Eighth Legion, which are still in the hands of Sabo of Li Bida Fort, which may threaten our flank rear path." At this time, someone added worriedly.

So the meeting soon entered the stage of debate and discussion, and everyone expressed their opinions. This is also the characteristic of the military democracy of the Brutu camp. No, it cannot be said to be military democracy, but democratic military.

Under this situation, Brutu had no choice but to give it to all the generals for two days, but they had to reach a consensus in the end, otherwise, they would have to conduct secret voting to determine the combat plan.

At the same time, Li Bida had secretly ordered the Skylark Legion, the Seventh Legion and the Twelfth Legion to secretly jump through Sicily and Malta, and headed towards Cyrani in a transport fleet.

Then the high priest got the news that the former chief virgin Li Xilia was already critically ill. Before she died, she hoped to see the high priest to express her heart.

In the Virgin Apartment on the street of the round Kitchen God Temple, there were dark blue vines hanging on the courtyard wall. Li Bida passed through the fountain and fish pond and came to Li Xilia's room on the edge of the first floor. She was once elegant and elegant, now her skin was shriveled and her eyes were sunken. She lay quietly on the raised couch, surrounded by other Virgins, including Zeno.

Upon learning that the high priest was standing in front of the bed, Li Xilia tried hard to say to Zeno, "You must stand in the corridor, and don't close the door of the room. Even if I am old, I still need to avoid gossip. This is the conscious pride of being a virgin and a great sorrow."

When Li Bida walked in, Zeno passed by him, then lowered his tears and walked out with the other virgins as instructed.

"Come on, please sit next to my bed. It's so rude." Li Xilia opened her eyes and said leisurely. (To be continued, please search Piaotianwen, the novel is better and faster!
