Chapter 5 Dark Tide (Part 2)
Anthony nodded, and then Li Bida pondered, "Call the Fifth Legion back at any time. We need more troops to suppress the city of Rome, so that the Senate cannot do whatever it wants - don't be afraid of the four legions of Gaul in Shannan. They were only fourteen, seventeen, and eighteen, the three legions that had had disgraceful service experiences. They were wiped out under Curio's leadership, and later reorganized, and there were also the newly recruited 19th Legion, all of which were unbearable for combat. Now Caesar's most precious asset, the veterans who retired after the war, were all placed around Rome, as well as Etruscan, Campenia, Lucania and other areas. Their intentions were still towards us, and the total number was as high as 20,000."
"Yes, we can take out Caesar's legacy. In addition to giving to the people and the legion, we can buy the veterans and demobilize them to serve as our guards, and serve as bargaining chips for negotiations with the Senate." Anthony inquired with a little excited.
At this time, Li Bida found that the Phillips and his wife were a little uneasy. This was of course. They were afraid that under the operation of the two cavalry commanders, the inheritance that originally belonged to Tulinus would be completely used up by these two people, because even Peidi and Diccias are not the opponents of these two people now. If Li Bida agrees, what should he do?
"Now, take out the part that originally belonged to Dehimos first. If it is insufficient, I can provide you with 500 Tarent funds at any time to help you Marco. The rest should not be moved, especially Mrs. Colpnia and Turinus, so that our reputation will be worse, and we will also ask Bisso to withdraw 100 Tarents from Saint Curry in public to prepare for Caesar's funeral." Li Bida immediately stopped Anthony's mischief.
At this moment, the Phillips and his wife looked gratefully, "These things are left to you. After Gaius returns with the army, we will further consolidate our power. I take over the province of Macedonia, and you accept the province of Syria, where there is reason to equip the most powerful army, and then Gaius promoted him to the official of the **. After the situation stabilized, Turinus and my son returned to Rome and ran for the civil guardian..."
"Encouragement for civil servants? But they are only sixteen or seventeen years old." Secredirus next to him questioned.
"It's okay, that's why I want the Legion to come to Rome. As long as we have the army and veterans, we can suppress more provinces to serve. Then the Senate will have no choice but to do anything to us. What's wrong with Turinus and Leo entering politics earlier? Don't be used to the seniority-related system left by Sura. A lifeless promotion system. A person's personality may be related to age, but his ability has nothing to do with it. As long as Turinus and Leo take office as civil servants, they can immediately make a request to the court or the civil society for the assassination of His Excellency Caesar. And Anthony's younger brother Gai
If Us takes office as the **, we are the commanders of the cavalry, and we will be invincible in this case. In this way, the whole party of Brutu is forced to death by us. If they stay in Rome, we can openly judge them, exile them or even push them down the rocks to kill them, and avenge Caesar; if they flee for fear of sin, then they can go in other provinces, and then we will take the remnants of Pompei and annihilate them together." Li Bida gently turned the ring of King Numa, and finally smiled and said calmly, "It's very simple, this is not even a game, because they will end up with defeat and death."
Several legion commanders kept applauding. As professional soldiers, their ideas were very simple, that is, they must avenge Caesar.
After reaching a collaboration, these people praised the host of the banquet. After a brief remark, they no longer had to taste the wine further in the middle of the night, so they dispersed.
In the study of Pulaima Villa, the lights were clear. Li Bida sat in front of the couch, standing in front of him that famous secret guest, Princia.
"You mean, Horace, Virgil and others stayed in Athens, but they only commissioned Piatius to send back the first manuscript of "Aeneas"?" Li Bida said as he read the letter.
"Yes, please, sir, please forgive the recklessness and ignorance of these young men. They were bewitched by the philosophical sticks in the city of Athens, and wanted to stay and say what to recruit troops to protect the republic, and even what to fight for the Athenian style for Rome, and what is that called?"
"Democracy." Li Bida added.
"What a mess!" Princia begged Li Bida with a flattering smile, "The people want to make the decision, why don't prostitutes be the masters of the madam? Oh, I really hope..."
Li Bida looked up and smiled and said, "It's okay, Horace and Virgil are people I like very much. I will do my best to maintain their consideration. Of course, I hope you, my dear, don't worry about this, but then again - what's the task I entrusted you with the arrangement?"
Princia immediately straightened her waist and said with a more charming smile that it was natural, "You have to be careful Anthony."
Now, Li Bida's smile disappeared. He slowly leaned back on the couch. Princia hurriedly brought the pineapple water, and then said with all his loyalty, "I'm absolutely true. Anthony is definitely unwilling to be under you. Although Fulivia and Claudia have exerted various influences on him, he is still extremely obsessed with it."
"His secret shouldn't tell me the Dumufeng who was placed beside him, right? Because Anthony always understood that Dumufeng was standing on my side." Li Bida took the pineapple water and asked in a low voice.
"It's a pity that Anthony doesn't seem so smart. Several times when he was exhausted by alcohol and bed affairs, he told almost everything to Domus, and then transferred to me. But please rest assured that Princia will never deceive you now, and I say everything." Princia said anxiously.
That was natural, her relatives and property were all in Li Bida's palm!
So the cavalry commander patted the beautiful woman's shoulder kindly, comforted her a few times, and then sighed, "Tell me all the steps of Marco's plan, and I will consider giving you a few plump apartments and villas, all good industries that were confiscated by the Pompeyers."
"Yes, yes!" Princia was flattered. "Anthony's plan was to seize Caesar's legacy as the captain of the cavalry, and then reach an agreement with the Senate, to lead him to seek provinces and legions. He said that it would be better to be the province of Shannan Gaul, who did not like to go to Syria, which was too far from Roman city. Then, he wanted to be Caesar's only heir, even if his name was not on his will."
"Poor Marco." Li Bida covered his cheeks and said softly. (To be continued, please search Piaotianwen, the novel is better and faster!
