Chapter 23 Blood Banquet (2)

Li Bida said no, through this period of observation, I learned that Maximus is for the sake of principle, and even the old master Pompey can deviate from, you republicans should not mix sand to me. Even if Terry Ali is a waste, in my hands, the waste can shine.

"You are so generous, I have nothing to say." Kassio stood up and said goodbye with a smile, and seemed quite satisfied with the final exchange conditions. "By the way, Caesar's recent transfer order asked me to go to Gaul as soon as possible to form a new naval army, because he needed to fight a barbarian with a powerful fleet. The bald man was a little anxious. He did not issue a transfer order to the Thirteenth Army? I heard that his military strength is very tight now."

"I didn't receive any transfer orders." Li Bida leaned on the chair with a smile.

After Kassio left, Li Bida took out a few plaque boards from the box beside the table and handed them to Sabo for a look. "Gebinus asked you to go back to Cyprus, and then went to Syria to accept the command of the Governor Bibruce, to guard against the invasion of Parthia and Armenia and other countries. This is... Caesar asked you to return to Rome and prepare to resist the election of Consul Dumigos, the brother-in-law of Little Gatu, the consul Dumigos, in the coming year, because Crassus and Pompei wanted to share the power of the consul, and they did not want the obstruction of Little Gatu." It seems that Li Bida had deceived Kasio just now and had received the transfer order from the two governor's palaces.

After reading, Sabo pouted and looked at the commander-in-chief, not knowing how he should deal with these two conflicting orders.

"I will not obey both. For the time being, I don't want to go to Rome to endorse the bald man, nor do I want to go to Syria because I haven't established a foothold in Egypt. I will need at least a year to control the trends in Egypt in the next few years. In fact, once Pompei joins hands with Crasus, Katto will not be an opponent at all. Whether or not I will go back to Rome will be the same. "Li Bida thought about it, "This is why I let General Deger die."

"You mean that when General Deger died, would his tribes stationed in the western frontier be detrimental to Prince Ptolemy of Cyrenega?"

"Yes, this is the planning between Xiao Yan and me, to allow new rebels to appear in Libya, Cyrenega and western Egypt, and it would be best if the little prince died in this turmoil." Li Bida said that. Then he hit Sabo's back, "Navidi is just your lover in the Egyptian court. You must go back to Rome immediately and form a suitable marriage."

"But!" Sabo finally did not talk about Nevdidi's affairs, but changed the subject, "Will the more than a thousand people of the Holmahi Legion immediately let them go to the Kingdom of Meerro?"

"No need now, because Tihaka, the king of Meerro, has personally presented two copper mines and one gold mine to me through Alp. He expressed great obedience. From now on, the remaining guys of Holmahi will pass by the border of Cyraniga, and of course our main legion will follow them and wait for an opportunity to deal with all the problems."

After the blood feast and the purge of the Jewish district, the royal court in Egypt was "changed in a new atmosphere". Kasio led most of the fleet to sail, leaving Libida with a Triali, who took thirty single-row Librnas, which was Kasio's cunning.

But Li Bida was not worried. He, Tuna, was also an excellent naval general. He fought with the Mitradati fleet in Cyprus, Rhode Island and Crete and won a great victory. He naturally copied the fleet's rules and precautions from Pina's book.

"Are you saying that there is an agent to manage the copper and gold mines at the second waterfall?" Joseph asked Li Bida in a very light tone, a small and sturdy tower under the harbor lighthouse. The other party turned around in the flat observation window. He was just watching Triali's training for thirty Librners, and said, "I want to use the income from the mine to build a foundation. The Naval Foundation, paddlers, combatants and ship construction and maintenance costs will be paid from this foundation. Joseph, you calculate, how much is needed to be enough."

Joseph thought for a while and said that it was about four hundred to six hundred tarantes, and you could have a medium-sized fleet that could protect and support the two legions. Then the Jewish merchant asked in confusion, "I have two questions. One is that Egypt actually lacks the fine wood to build ships, and the second is who should the command of this fleet be? Republic, general, you are your personal or the Egyptian royal family?"

Faced with this problem, the commander-in-chief smiled and asked Sabo to send a light signal in the command room, asking Triali to finish the training and come to see me. Then he whispered to Joseph, "Excellent wood can be obtained from Lebanon and Nubia, excellent cedar wood, and resin that can speed up the ship. Isn't my foundation set up for this? I'll leave these businesses to you, how about it?"

"Of course, I am honored that you and Her Majesty Queen Eubert are our righteous people. I promise to assist you in the army with the most affordable and affordable materials." Joseph nodded and left quietly. Then, Terry Ali jogged all the way with an exaggerated respect, making a very tired and dedicated look, and appeared in front of Li Bida.

"How to train?" Li Bida spread some drafts on the desktop, asking about the hull structure and sea charts without looking at it.

"According to your instructions, although we returned the ships captured by Ptolemy before, many helmsmen, observers, and paddlers were dug up by us with a lot of money. In addition, the personnel you recruited in Cyprus and Rhode Island have no problems with the personnel!" At this time, Sabo handed over a glass of cider, and Terry Ali was flattered and took it all and drank it all, and then continued to report with an admiring smacking voice: "The color and style of the sailor suit are also unified, all light blue. Now we are waiting for the dock you presided over by you to complete!"

"General Terry Ali, they all blamed you wrongly. When I recognized your ability and hoped that Kasio would keep you, the other party also said a lot of bad things about your talents. Now in my eyes, this is a rough and unreasonable accusation. I rely more and more on your ability. Are you satisfied with the distribution of the spoils?" Li Bida raised his head, and it was a compliment that hit the nail on the head.

But Terri felt very helpful. He rubbed his hands and said that the money of the trophy was very satisfied, enough for him to make a comeback in Rome.

"Very good, then I'll ask you something else, is that OK?"

"I would like to ask the Commander-in-Chief to tell you whether it is a matter of ship construction. At least I will follow Kasio and Maximus for a while. I still understand the mystery of it. This is not a boast at all."

"Oh, it's not such a trivial matter. I hope you will return to Rome in a month."
