Chapter 18 Communication (Part 1)
"Pompey's failure lies in the fact that his army did not lack a mind or a goal. On the contrary, Caesar was his army, and his army was Caesar." - British Colonel Dodge evaluated the battle between Pompey and Caesar's war of hegemony.

Habaruka changed his clothes, took Karabis's money box and account books diligently, followed everyone's butt and said that, the theme was that the Libida family in Sardinia is now very down. After Sula's death, Sula's subordinate, Old Libida, attempted to seize power and proclaim himself the dictator of "Dick Thido", but was attacked by the Senate, and Pompei was the commander of the siege.
At that time, the plan for the response of Old Li Bida and his ally Old Brutu was like this. Old Li Bida defended the northern part of Italy and blocked Pompei's attack. Old Li Bida led the main force to take advantage of the situation and went south to Rome, forcing the Senate to let him be the second consul, and even Dirk Thiddou. But after the war began, Old Li Bida surrendered to Pompei because of his unstable will and fear of becoming a sinner of the republic, causing Old Li Bida's plan to go bankrupt.
But the surrendered old Brutu failed to end well. Pompei's generals took him to a remote village and secretly executed him. Afterwards, Pompei was widely criticized and had to come up with some ambiguous statements to make a lie for himself.
When Old Li Bida saw that the situation was not good, he also fled to the base of Sardinia. Since then, he declared that his family and Pompey are irreconcilable, but it is useless to talk nonsense. Soon after, Old Li Bida became regretful and passed away. The entire family is in a slump this time. Even the heirs disappeared in Xiaoya's war. This is also the old thing about twenty years ago, but Habaruka is well known.
Karabis's heart was moving quickly, and then he asked Habaruka, "Old Libida died so quickly. Is it because of his frustration in politics that he was afraid of Pompey's revenge?" Habaruka did not treat Karabis as an outsider. He directly revealed, "In fact, he discovered the love that his wife committed adultery with outsiders. He died of resentment."
This family is really full of disasters, and Karabis continued to ask: "Who is your current master?"
"Oh, before the old master died, he abandoned his unfaithful wife and left the house. He hated his heir Box and deprived him of his property inheritance. As a result, Box was demoted to a knighthood and immigrated to Xiaoya to make a living. He suffered a massacre in Mitradati. Life and death are uncertain. However, the old master's property inheritance rights are just an empty shell. I have calculated that there were only fifty Tarants left before, but now because of Yulia, oh, she is Box's daughter and the granddaughter of the old master. She invested randomly and lent all the property to Kathirin. I hope that after he was elected, he could issue a decree to let our family contract the business of transporting wheat to Rome. Now - a fuck!" Habaruka pouted with a helpless expression.
Hearing all this, Karabis nodded and asked Habaruka to live in a tent with him, and waited for Claudi to issue the order to change defense.
It was heard that Metra, Neruda, Claudi and Petternius had secretly discussed for a long time that night. Neruda first shed a lot of tears at Katilin's body, condemning the injustice and cruelty of fate. Then, after asking a few people to make a case, he passed an order to the auxiliary brigade that occupied Fesuele City, allowing them to withdraw from Fesuele within two days. The entire Etruscan region was occupied by Neruda and Metra's troops in subdivisions, and the spoils were also properly divided.
The next day, Claudi came to Karabis happily and said that everything was done.
As a result, Karabis calmly invited him into the tent and asked, "Your army just needs to divide the looted things. If it really doesn't work, it will be established on the spot to sell it. I can help contact the buyers. But you must not touch the real estate of Etruscan and Fesuele - mines, villas, farms, factories, etc."
Claudi immediately felt insulted. It was not because Karabis's proposal made him unable to accept it, but the tone of this new citizen was actually domineering and couldn't help but angrily: "Can you, the scale officer, also have the right to discuss the matters of Etrunia after the war!"
"No, I'm not here to discuss with you. I'm here to deliver the message for Crasus. This is the original words of the Senate inspector. The plans you said to Neruda before were the original words of the high priest Caesar." Karabis bounced the dust on his body and respectfully handed Claudi a glass of wine.
Claudi was stunned for a moment, then his expression changed very quickly. After showing a handsome smile, he took over the wine from Carabis and asked: "The military affairs are easy to deal with, but according to regulations, the industries obtained after the war must be auctioned publicly. There will be supervisors in the city of Rome, how to deal with it at that time."
"Just say that Fesuele had a plague because of the war." Karabis reminded.
Three days later, the entire army entered the city of Fesulay in Etruscan. Before the war, there were still a colonial city with 5,000 people and veterans as the main residents. However, the auxiliary brigade that captured this place in advance, although only a few hundred people, could show its power to rob. Except for villas, city walls, houses and temples, which could not be taken away, no one could be left, and all the women and children in the city were killed. When the two sides changed defenses, when Karabis led the team, he saw with his own eyes that several soldiers from the auxiliary brigade held whips and led several leopards stolen from the arena, and left with his long...
Next, the soldiers removed all the wooden boards and windows from the houses in the city, built a crematorium in the square, and kept the dead bodies on it. They burned them for a day and a night, and then dug holes to bury the ashes to prevent the epidemic.
The military market was soon established. The soldiers mainly sold prisoners in Pistonia, clothes and rings removed from dead bodies, as well as seized supplies. In short, except for the corpses of Katilin and the eagle flag of Marriott, they sold all the things they could sell. The military market was equipped with tents of various colors, with colorful tents, soldiers, vendors, military slaves, and prostitutes carrying small bags and busts, and they shuttled back and forth with chickens, ducks, and goats, which was extremely lively.
On the street outside Etruscan, a merchant group drove ox carts and mule carts, carrying coins and goods, preparing to take the lead in grabbing the top spot and acquire the Etruscan industry at a cheap price. But when they arrived at the border, they saw a clean wooden tower and a stretch of wooden fences. There were fully armed and murderous soldiers standing at the passage.
