Chapter 21: The Promise to Taotie (Part 2)

The female family of Anthony settled in Villa Pulaima, Octavian took office as the acting officer, and the Sixth and Twelve Legions, who received the order, were quickly gathering towards the city of Rome. The Senate and Octavian's order was: within three days of the Sixth Legions and within five days of the Twelfth Legions, they must arrive at the suburbs of the city.

As for poor Gaius, he first ran to the camp of the Sixth Army. He asked to meet the commander Angandinus, but the other party refused to see him. After he bribed the post, Angandinus reluctantly met him, but the other party was reluctant to say much about the core issue, just saying that he was ordered to move, "But my brother is the Governor of Macedonia and your immediate boss."

"The situation has changed now, isn't it? The Senate's emergency edict has long been in my hands, and Anthony's handling has not yet been settled, so our army is now under the jurisdiction of two consuls - OK, Gaius, you must know that it is my greatest effort to not speak for your meeting with me."

After saying that, Gaus was quietly "gifted" by Angandinus. If there was any delay, he was afraid that Gaus would have his life.

Gaius had no choice but to spend some money, hired another horse, and ran towards the street in the direction of Brindisi. The next day, he saw the camp of the 12th Legion, but Karenus was even more unceremonious and asked the centurion on duty to arrest and imprison him, stuff him in a mule cart, and march with everyone, on the grounds that "the chief official left the capital privately, which was extremely serious crime of dereliction of duty."

"I am not the Chief Secretary. You soldiers are all deceived. Why did the Senate use your armed young Caesar, who has no foundation? That was their plot to instigate the civil war between the two sides. Those specially chosen fathers wanted to kill each other at all times. So Anthony repented. He asked me to risk my life to persuade everyone. The Caesar party should unite. Anthony knew his mistake. He did not want others to continue making his mistakes. After we all fell down in front of the sword of our comrades, we would still be the Senate." Gaius was nestled in the prison car and kept shouting at the centurion and soldiers around him until his voice was hoarse. But he turned around and looked, the distance between the city of Rome was getting closer and closer on the road ahead.

After the two legions arrived at the Mars Colonel, Anthony's irrational reply had been sent to the Temple of Concord. As Cicero expected, it was filled with violent accusations, and it involved the private grudges against Cicero and the political stance of the entire army.

Cicero read his letter in front of everyone at the Senate rally, "I was very surprised (the insulting words in it are also read without any mistake). You said that Caesar was the king and the tyrant all day long. Don't you understand that Cicero is? Caesar had controlled Cicero's life in the war. But he forgives this man. Now Cicero is revenge and is unwilling to help Caesar's friends, but he protects Caesar's enemies all day long. Dihemoth is an example. It's hard to

Didn’t Dehimos trick Caesar out and make him murdered? When Dehimos was a Caesar party, Cicero attacked and hated him all day long, but now when Dehimos became the murderer, Cicero protected him all day long. Yes, because Dehimos opposed Caesar, Cicero loved him and wanted to lick him. Now after receiving this news, the soldiers of the five legions were particularly angry. I myself decided to use any means, including entering Rome, to make fun of this unreasonable decree."

Once the insulting words were read, the Senate immediately declared Anthony as the public enemy of the Republic with an overwhelming majority. His legion must surrender and turn against him at the moment of this order, otherwise he would also be treated as a public enemy.

However, at the same time, the Senate also passed the commission, formally appointing Brutu as governor of Macedonia instead of Dehimos and Anthony; while Kasio was governor of Crete.

Octavian was very angry and believed that this was indeed the Senate taking advantage of the internal strife of the Caesars to protect the murderer. He stood in the house of Cicero and kept begging the "teacher" to give himself an explanation or a reasonable solution.

"I will call the Senate immediately, hang your portrait in the synagogue, and advance your seat to the first three rows, and you can get the identity glory that is equivalent to a retired consul and an ombudsman in a very young status." Cicero sat on the couch with joy, unaware of the "student"'s thoughts, and comforted him carelessly.

The young Caesar opposite him immediately showed an extremely satisfied expression, and then hurriedly thanked Cicero.

After leaving Cicero's mansion and returning to the Executive House hall, Octavian sat in a coffin in a coffin and said to Agripa, Juba, and Mesenas, "The Senate, including Cicero, are all damn people... Their provocation and harm to us will not stop. Now this group of people actually naively think that these two legions have become the country, that's not possible. These two legions are mine, and the culprits who want to avenge my adoptive father." Then he handed a blank document to Agripa, "Tomorrow I will go to the Mars Grand Collegiate Field to review the Sixth and Twelve Legions, and I will trouble you with the speech."

At this time, Mesenas, who was standing behind, looked at Octavian intently. Yes, Octavian actually has poor speaking and writing skills. He handed over the general manuscripts to Leo or Agripa for his writing.

The next day, in front of the Temple of War, the masked priest stood in front of the sacrificed cow, and the butcher holding a stick and a sharp blade behind him asked the priest according to the ceremony, "Is it OK?"

"It can be dedicated to God." The priests nodded, and then the cow cried and blood fell to the ground. After the blood-stained Octavian turned to all the soldiers standing there, "Comrades, I can enjoy these honors because of your achievements. Similarly, I can enjoy the command of you, thanks to your gifts."

As a result, the soldiers of the two legions below stood in their own brigades, no one responded to his speeches, and no one showed any excitement. Even if Octavian had not actually commanded the team before, he could clearly see that these group of Qiu Ba had no intention of being convinced of him. They just stood here, holding etiquette respect for him, and it was just respect.

In the wind, Octavian was a little nervous, his voice began to become unstable, and the following language stuttered, "You know, because of these things, I am grateful to you, please believe this, yes, I am grateful. When our career is successful, I will thank you even more."

But the soldiers of the two legions remained motionless.

In the embarrassment, Mesenas whispered to remind him, "Tell me the promise of reward." (To be continued, please search for Piaotianwen, the novel is better and faster!
