Chapter 31 Blueprint (Part 2)
"The list of the Helveti people we seized before shows that before the migration, the Helveti people, combined with the other tribes they carried, had a total of 386,000 people, of which 92,000 were the first male. Now we have counted it, and there are about 110,000 left." The figures predicted by Li Bida for Chief Alobrokis were roughly the same as that of Chief Alobrokis: 300,000 were killed in battle and captured by 200,000, and only one-third of them could survive.
"I already know this number, and the food and money they have to go back to Lake Leman, Rabinus has also handled it. What else do you have?"
"Yes, that is, the enemy's losses are not up to the same number as our counting, and there are 13,000 people. And according to my detailed investigation, the 13,000 people lost should all belong to a small tribe called Vibichinas. He had previously settled on the island of the Renos River and later acted with the Helvetis."
"You mean they are still hiding in the Aduyi area?" Caesar's tone immediately became alert.
"Yes, being able to hide so well means that although this tribe is very small, the quality of leaders and personnel is very strong. I ask that after searching them, please forgive them and make them our combat power." Li Bida took the opportunity to speak in the good direction.
Caesar said no rush, anyway, this matter is left to you and the 12th Legion. Even if the Vibichinas hides, they can't run far. You should handle the "Gallic Conference". I won't talk much tonight, it depends on you and Rabinus.
As they said that, the two of them rode their horses and walked in front of the squad, talking and walking. Behind were wheat fields and villages with crescent crosses.
In Bibrakd's temporary residence, hundreds of representatives of the Gaul tribe. Standing in the hall, whispering to each other, there was only a young man with long yellow hair, sitting silently on the bench in the corner, as if all the situation had nothing to do with him. An elder dressed up and pressed his shoulder: "Vicentoli, take out some tribal representatives as a demeanor, and don't let the Romans see your dangerous tendencies."
"Uncle, what do I mean? I just came to the hall full of scum after my father was poisoned by pro-Roman people in the tribe. As a famous puppet, I came to the hall full of scum to watch the flattering performances of the Roman dwarfs by various Gaul tribes. Well, maybe I should prepare a few local small silver coins from Gaul to throw them to the guys who perform monkeys. Look, the short Roman governor is here! His hair is really like the Germans, all of whom are villains who covet our land and wealth." After saying that, the young Vicentoli stood up and applauded warmly with everyone, leaving his uncle with a face like a mortal face behind him. As if he had never said anything so ruthless, he stood on both sides of the porch, and welcomed Caesar and the generals who walked in high spirits.
When he walked to Vichintoli, Caesar paused and asked the tall young man, "If you remember correctly, you are the representative of the Alvini tribe. I feel deeply regretful of your father's tragedy."
"My father advocated dangerous remarks against Rome, and he should be executed publicly according to tribal rules. The Governor General does not need to express regret." Vicentoli talked about the cause of his father's death, as light as a stranger. "And I am willing to lead the tribal cavalry immediately and follow the Governor General to resist the Germans."
Caesar didn't say anything, but just bowed to Vichintoli. His uncle, the current Alvini tribe chief, nodded. Then the representatives fought forward and pulled the hand of Caesar and kissed Caesar. Li Bida, who was following Caesar, clearly saw that Vichintoli quietly retreated to the edge of the noisy crowd, looking at all with a cold look.
After the greetings, Caesar asked Libida and Rabinus to come forward and announced the reason why he wanted to hold the "Gallic Conference" for the real and credible reason. Libida would have the document stamped with the seal of German chief Alio Vistas and held it high in public:
"Everyone has heard of this document for a long time, and I don't need to hide it. That is, since the century, the Gaul tribe has been divided into two major regional groups, one headed by Alvini and the other headed by Idui. The battle between the two is not a secret."
Vicintoli, on the other hand, said, "This is why I hate this place. For those guys who often bring Romans to massacre the same race in the internal strife, when I take power, I will definitely be executed. Gaul must remove these tumors so that the body can have hope of rebirth."
As a result, his uncle was scared and he wanted to block his mouth.
"So when Alvini and the Seigni were defeated by the Aduis in the competition for Gaul hegemony, they came up with a solution, that is, to spend money to hire Germans in the Black Forest! If the Governor remembers correctly, Deviach of Iduis complained to the Senate three years ago, and the Alvini tribe invited 15,000 German mercenaries to Aliovestus. Now, the Germans settled in the Gaul area have reached 120,000.
Falling in love with the wealth and prosperity here, he was reluctant to return to his hometown full of forests. These Germans, with Alexandus as king, were ready to occupy the entire Gaul at any time. Before His Excellency the Governor took office, he wrote a letter privately, and used the bribe of 800 Tarantes to defraud the identity of the "allies of the Republic". Fortunately, Gaul was king and dominated and fought against dissidents in the name of the Republic." Li Bida's words were extremely lethal, and panic and angry screams suddenly appeared in the hall.
Caesar smiled firmly and comforted everyone's concerns, "Of course I did not agree, nor did I receive this bribe. Not to mention only 800 Tarants, even 8000, I will never abandon everyone and allow the Germans to set foot on the territory of Gaul."
In an instant, Li Bida then pointed to Vichintoli opposite and said to his uncle, "The representatives of the Alvini are here, and the chief of the Adui people, Deviach, Lesgus, and the former's younger brother Dunorex were also on the spot. Please explain it below."
First, Deviach came out to complain about the Germans' violence, saying that he was the only one in the entire Gaul area, but he had not offered hostages to Aliovestus, so he could only beg His Royal Highness Caesar to help All Gaul be rescued from the clutches of Aliovestus' enslavement.
Then, even Dunorex took the initiative to hold Caesar's hand and cry, saying that the reason why his wife, Helveti, left Lake Leman, offended the Governor, was mostly because of the helpless actions of the German barbarians infiltration and attacks. He also firmly expressed his firm gratitude for the reinvention of the Governor, and expressed his gratitude to the Governor, on behalf of All Gaul, and was willing to closely unite with the Governor to assist the Governor in defeating the Germans, so as to make the merits and sin.
