Chapter 6 Dissent (Part 1)

"Anyone who goes out to eat but does not make a will is a fool. How many deaths will occur when you pass through the open windows." Yuvinaris complained about the garbage and heavy objects dumped from apartment buildings on the streets of the ancient Roman city.

=============================================================================

"What you mean is to let me vote for the Republicans." Li Bida questioned bluntly.

Kasio shook his head and said, "There are no civilians, no noble republicans. Especially for us, I am a speculative person, I am a fenceman, what about you?"

This sentence snatched Li Bida, and he hurriedly changed the topic, "But now that Caesar is going to solve the work of dealing with the Belgians in the winter camp, he not only needs two new legions, but also needs someone to train and be responsible for supplies, so I am trapped. What can you do?"

Kassio said don’t worry, we can ask someone to help you, who is an old acquaintance with you.

"Geneus Pompeius?"

"Yes, you are such a smart person, and that's why I said that to you before." Kasio said in amazement.

It turned out that in the Big Three, the weakest part was still the great Pompei. Especially when Caesar achieved glorious military achievements in Gaul, Pompei was still stranded in Roman city to build a dream theater. He sometimes returned from Villa Alba to the streets of Paladin Mountain. Looking at the gate at the foot of the mountain, Caesar's confidants threw the slaves and gold jewelry brought back from Gaul to the looted citizens. When he learned that more than 5,000 slaves were sold to the city in one day in Ostia. When he knew that there were some special fathers who accepted bribes in the Senate. He was also singing to support the Gallic War and wanted to hold a triumphant ceremony for Caesar, his heart was jealous and involuntarily churned.

Why is Julius Caesar? When I fought in the East, he was just a debt-ridden road administrator from the down-and-out nobles in the Subra District. When the three of us formed an alliance, he was the least capital, but he climbed the dragon and flew up to the high branches. If it weren't for the concern of Caesar's daughter, Pompey really wanted to...

Undoubtedly, Brutu noticed Pompey's thoughts and sent a message through Demethlius: Caesar's base in the army is not particularly deep, and the only objects that can be relied upon are Rabinus and Libidaus. The former has strong principles and ideas, and we don't need to buy them out (it will have a counterproductive effect). The latter can be attracted without principles and the latter invested nearly two thousand Tarant in Ptolemy, so if you can use your power to help him control Egypt and fight for it from Caesar, then Caesar's power will be greatly weakened.

Here, Brutu proposed a bold "replacement plan" - Pompei began to write to Caesar, because he was the governor of Spain at that time, but did not go to the local area to take office, but handed over the provincial affairs to his son and staff, and he had been living in Alba. In addition, the situation in Spain has been stable for many years and there were not so many legions, so he could lend the "Spanish First Legion" to Caesar for three years, and Caesar needed to cope with the requirements of the Senate.

Because Katu from Rhodes said "very timely", he had successfully convinced Ptolemy of Cyprus to accompany him to Rome to surrender and apologize to the Republic, but he was hated by Egypt. Alexander's fleet began to block the sea route between Cyprus and Rhodes and attacked passing ships arbitrarily. Even I was the one who hoped that the Republic could send an army, about 4,000 people, to take the medium-sized fleet guards to allow me to fulfill the mission entrusted by the Republic.

"Now, Caesar has no reason to hinder your career, a win-win career with us. Caesar is a shrewd man, one is the Thirteenth Legion with only a number, and the other is the First Legion of Spain, full of veterans in history. He will agree to this deal."

Is that true? Li Bida fell into deep thought. At this time, Casio struck while the iron was hot and continued, "Curio and Anthony are waiting for you. Curio is willing to fund money, Anthony is willing to give up people. And I heard that Claudi, the civil guard in the city, is also fully supporting you. Why should you stick to a boring position - war, make money, and gain greater power, this is what you and I should do - Brutu has formed a fleet and entrusts me to command, the implication is that I will go to the East with you."

Is this the counterattack of the new generation? Is the new four-headed little monster alliance that I had organized before finally going to work? Li Bida was angry at this time and said to Kasio, let our navy and army army carry flowers and reputations to enter Alexander City!

"Very good. I heard there are three hundred bathrooms, three hundred libraries, fifty markets and thousands of gold, silver and bronze sculptures, and tens of thousands of shops with abundant savings." Kasio painted the picture of Alexander, just like talking about his backyard, and then he stretched out his hand, "Let us form an offensive and defensive alliance together!"

So the two of them held their hands tightly together, and Li Bida felt a wet and cold chill in Kasio's palm...

The secret counterattack of the noble Republicans quickly took effect. After quickly browsing several Akutas and letters, Caesar in the village of Russels decisively judged the best deal. Pompeii would send the first legion with strong combat power and tenacious combat power, and Li Bida should also obey the Senate's declaration: Because the situation in Egypt and Cyprus is tight, the Governor of the Gaul area should set up a legion to assist in defense.

"Well, it seems that the Temple of Concorde is very concerned about Egyptian affairs. This time, I don't even need the word "volunteer" and I just send a genuine legion. Libidaus, this is great!" Caesar said hypocritically, "Let's bring your thirteenth legion number. I sponsor you one hundred tarante's recruitment funds, and the treasury will allocate three hundred tarante and ask you to recruit about three thousand paddlers in Talindon and Brindisi. By the way, how about your own funds? Can you deal with it?"

"My wife sold some of her property and raised some money. I think the problem should not be big." Li Bida deliberately confused the specific amount. He didn't want Caesar to erase the sponsorship of one hundred Tarante.

Caesar said it was very good! In three days, you will set off with the team.

"Not only the Thirteenth Legion, I need the Thousand-man brigade of the Twelfth Legion, but also the affiliated cavalry, Dussenvier, also follow me. Governor, I will definitely bring three legions back to Gaul in two or three years, but I can help you - conquer Britannia." Li Bida's eyes began to shine. (To be continued...)
