The capital of the Roman Empire, the main hall of Caesar's Palace. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

At this time, Julius Caesar, the supreme man of the Roman Empire, sat in the center of the court, the throne that represented his power and status. However, what is daunting is that Julius Caesar's face is covered with clouds! No one dares to speak first, because no one can guess what Julius Caesar's heart is measuring at this moment, but at least it can be determined, as long as anyone has a bad brain, who dares to speak out at this time, there is no doubt that it will definitely hit the muzzle of the gun.

Therefore, the entire palace hall is in a silence that makes people's backs chill.

Julius Caesar looked at the officials of different shapes below with a cold face.

This group of people, usually the imperial court supports these individuals with real money, but when it comes to the need for them, no one dares to say anything to the point.

However, Julius Caesar also thought of his aging body, and he couldn't help but feel sick in his heart - he really hated this feeling of powerlessness.

Indeed, in recent years, Julius Caesar has rarely left the palace, and his energy does not allow him to go too far, only to move within the capital, let alone go to the battlefield to personally supervise the battle. Therefore, recently, as long as it is not a special case, all small and medium-sized wars, Julius Caesar is basically handed over to his generals or his sons, while he himself retreats into the background, in fact, more to enjoy the wonderful feeling of being in control.

Julius Caesar was lucky at the same time. Based on the prestige of the Roman Empire, before the emergence of Yi Xingchen's Xinghua Empire, there was no country that dared to challenge the Roman Empire alone. Therefore, Julius Caesar has lived a comfortable life for a long time.

Julius Caesar was a fifth-level knight, and the stability of the Roman Empire also made his imperial life extremely extravagant, not to fight, and greedy for beauty, and his body was losing money day by day, as if his body could afford it. In fact, if Julius Caesar hadn't experienced such a period of overly comfortable and extravagant life, logically speaking, Julius Caesar would have been able to live past one hundred and fifty years old, but now, it is obvious that he does not have such sufficient physical capital.

Julius Caesar was aware of this, but he was reluctant to openly admit that he was beginning to weaken. You must know that at the beginning of the establishment of the Roman Empire, Julius Caesar was founded by force! The entire Firmament Continent has hardly forgotten the prestige of Julius Caesar.

Therefore, even if Julius Caesar is over eighty years old at the moment, he cannot, especially in front of the ministers of the empire, show the slightest weakness, and even in order to show his might in front of everyone, Caesar not long ago specially designated to marry the sixteen-year-old princess of Greece.

Caesar was always looking to maintain his prestige, especially in the face of the enemy.

In fact, what made the palace of the Roman Empire panic today, and Caesar's ministers were hotly discussing, was the upcoming battle of the kingdoms in the East.

This battle was regarded by many officials of the Roman Empire as a war to conquer the East, referred to as the "Holy Roman Crusade".

It's just that the officials in this hall, what they are discussing enthusiastically is not how to lay out and win the final victory of this sacred battle, but how to distribute the spoils after the victory. Julius Caesar looked at these people, who had been talking very hotly just now, and his face gradually turned cold.

Just now.

"Your Majesty, the Grand Prince Octavian will surely achieve the final victory, and let the glory of the Roman Empire shine on the East...... The Presbyterian Church, hoping to obtain the right to develop the East. A member of the Presbyterian Church, who was older than Caesar, was the first to stand up and speak to Caesar.

Hearing this, Caesar frowned, but he still couldn't bear to speak, but thought to himself: These elders of the presbyterian church are really insatiable and arrogant, and they have thought that they are so self-righteous that they have not yet won the victory, and they are already thinking about dividing the fruits! What kind of officials has his Roman Empire raised all these years?

It's just that he can't speak up and dismiss the opinion of the Council of Elders at once, the existence of the Council of Elders is already binding on him, and sometimes, in terms of political opinions, he has to be more patient with these old fellows.

However, these Elders' fellows, at this time, in the face of such a major battle, did not seriously focus on how to deploy troops, and discussed such a self-righteous topic. In Caesar's heart, he tried his best to hold back the anger, but even with it, Caesar's perception of the Grand Prince Octavian was also a little worse. In fact, even in Pinsuri, Julius Caesar preferred the second prince Antony, because Antony would please him, while the great prince Octavian obviously preferred to please the presbyterians of the Roman Empire.

The difference is that the support of the Presbyterian Church can even play a decisive role in the succession to the throne of Julius Caesar. Octavian had a better chance of succeeding Julius Caesar to the throne. Isn't Octavian's ability to become the commander of the crusade this time the result of the support of the Council of Presbyterians?

It's just that in the eyes of Julius Caesar, this is a pimple in his heart that cannot be ignored. After all, although as an emperor, it is naturally inevitable to establish a prince who will inherit his throne, but as a father, he naturally does not want to see his son dependent on others because of power.

Seeing that these old fellows of the Council of Elders were still waiting for his statement, Caesar Leng replied coldly: "The Eastern Crusade has not yet been won! The fruits of victory should belong to the soldiers of the Eastern Crusade and the Empire!"

His words still did not show direct agreement with the opinion of the Presbyterian Church, but he made it clear that he was against their move to divide the fruit now. In fact, Caesar didn't like the attitude of the Council of Elders to meddle in everything, which seriously violated the authority of the Emperor, and this time, it was like a monkey, and for the first time, he used a majestic attitude to give these old fellows of the Council of Elders a little bit of power.

When the elder heard this, his face changed slightly, but he still respectfully stepped aside, after all, in terms of the state system of the Roman Empire, Julius Caesar has always been the unique emperor of the Roman Empire, and his authority cannot be questioned.

Therefore, there was also this meeting, and Julius Caesar looked at the terrifying atmosphere of the ministers and elders with a cold face.

After a while, when everyone almost smelled suffocation, Julius Caesar finally spoke again, but this time, he directly issued a military order: "Antony, you go to the city of Hashara and give your brother to be responsible for the security of the rear." ”

The second prince, Anthony, stood up happily and replied: "Thank you, Your Majesty, the retainers will do their best to assist in the Eastern Crusade." In Antony's understanding, this was the opportunity given to him by his father to balance Octavian, and he had to seize the opportunity, grasp a certain amount of power, and build an armed force.

Caesar didn't know what his son was thinking, but when he saw Anthony receiving the order, he encouraged Anthony to learn how to manage and lead the army.

After a while, Caesar found the council boring, and he didn't like the presbytery, so he dissolved the council and let the people leave the temple.

Back in the harem, the most favored and youngest concubine, with a cheerful smile, came to greet her. Caesar picked up the sixteen-year-old Greek concubine horizontally, smiled, and walked into the dormitory......

In the city of Hasara, Octavian did not know that his brother Antony would come to fight him.

At this time, Octavian led a Roman legion of 50,000 and was stationed in the city of Hasara.

Octavian had to wait for the coalition of the small countries of the Western Regions, and if they broke through the Loulan Kingdom, the Roman legions would enter the Western Regions as the leader. If the alliance of small countries fails, it will also consume part of the strength of Lou Lan, and the Roman Imperial legions will be dispatched again to destroy Lou Lan and all other countries that resist the Roman Empire.

"Our army, are you ready?" said Octavian, sitting on an ornate animal skin, and asked his number one general, Lucius.

"Your Highness, fifty thousand Roman troops, ready!" Lucius replied, paused, and continued, "The lord of Hasara City has not expressed any intentions. ”

Octavian smiled slightly and said: "The city of Hasara is a big city, and the lord of the city is also a powerful person, not only a wealthy family, but also has 30,000 Roman legions, and he has the confidence not to be loyal to me. ”

"Your Highness, after all, he underestimated you. Lucius replied dissatisfied.

Octavian smiled and said, "As long as I prove that I am the best heir to the throne of the Roman Empire, he will support me." Have you ever asked what the problem is in Hasara City?"

"Your Highness, there is indeed a difficult thing in Hasara City. To the east of Hasara City, there is a very active gang of thieves called the Blades of Zihada, who repeatedly rob the goods of the nobles of Hasara City. It is said that the nobles suffered heavy losses. If we can clear this group of bandits, we will definitely be able to gain the support of the nobles of Hasara City. What's more, the Blade of Qihada has robbed a lot and is very rich. If we sweep them away, we'll be able to make a lot of money. Lucius said with his own suggestion.

Octavian thought for a moment and said, "Your suggestion is good! How many soldiers do we need to send?"

"Your Highness, please give me five thousand Roman cavalry, and a thousand spear-throwing soldiers, and I will personally destroy them and bring you victory!" said Lucius.

"No, you're my best general, and you should be focusing on the crusade, not some unruly bandits. General Gilles is capable of good, what do you think?" Octavian did not want Lucius to suppress the bandits, in his eyes, it was best to occupy the Loulan country, take revenge, promote the power of the empire, and make him famous.

When Lucius heard this, he was moved: "Thank you, Your Highness, for your trust! General Giles is a talented general, and I also think that he should be able to destroy the bandits." ”

Octavian smiled and nodded, and said, "Then give him the task of suppressing bandits!"

The Blade of Zihada is a bandit organization created by Zihada, the deputy leader of the Mountain Eagle Special Combat Team. They were often in the Hasala region of the Roman Empire, carrying out robbery. Some of the looted wealth was handed over to the Mountain Eagle Special Combat Team, and some of it was left behind to continue to develop the Blade of Qihada.

In this way, Zihada led some special operations soldiers, while looting, while collecting the poor young and out-and-out soldiers in the Roman Empire, and continued to grow and develop.

Therefore, when the number of Qihada Blades was at its highest, it reached two or three thousand bandit teams.

Some time ago, under the order of Wei Zhouquan, Zihada led the elite personnel of Qihada Blade to return to the Mountain Eagle Base and successfully robbed the Roman legions of Dirac in Dila City...... After a period of time, with the efforts of Zihada, and several run-ins, the members recruited by the Zihada Blade in the Roman Empire were integrated into the base of the Mountain Eagle Special Combat Team.

At this time, Wei Zhouquan and other officers of the Mountain Eagle Special Combat Team had just made a decision to attack the logistics supply lines of the Roman legions and the allied forces of other countries. They did not expect that Octavian's Roman legions were also plotting to destroy them and rob them of their wealth.

"Know yourself and know your opponent, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles. Wei Zhouquan said, "If our Mountain Eagle Special Combat Team wants to win this war, intelligence is very important! Now, we don't have to rush to find a target and attack the Roman convoy. I need you to observe all the Roman outposts, the main camps, and the range of the cavalry in this area. Write down what you see, and we'll have a dedicated intelligence officer analyze it. As long as we have detailed intelligence, we are half the victory. "Wei Zhouquan deliberately pulled out fifty outstanding team members, they are all the elite of the special combat team, not only excellent combat skills, but also have the ability to calculate and draw. Wei Zhouquan appointed them as scouts to completely control the situation in the Roman Empire in the area between Loulan City and Anhua City.

"Rest assured, sir, that we will complete the mission given to us by the Empire!" replied the fifty scouts.

Wei Zhouquan scattered scouts, and then consulted with Zhao Zhan and Qihada, and the Mountain Eagle Special Combat Team was once again divided into three teams to create chaos for the enemy.

Wei Zhouquan mastered the elite of the Mountain Eagle Special Combat Team, leading 200 soldiers, Zhao Zhan led 100 soldiers, Qi Hada led 100 Mountain Eagle soldiers, and Qi Hada Blade's 800 bandits.

The remaining more than 100 Mountain Eagle soldiers stayed at the base to guard their homes, and nearly 500 bandits and their families who had joined Mountain Eagle.

Each of the three officers of the Mountain Eagle leads a team, and the goal is also very clear. Wei Zhouquan and Zhao Zhan will cooperate to carry out an effective attack against the allied forces of various countries. As for Zihada, he was familiar with the area around the city of Hashara, and their task was to carry out delaying tactics once or twice in the vicinity of the city of Zihada to bring trouble to the enemy.

After arranging tactics, the three teams continued to hide and await the results of the Scout's investigation.

After three days, fifty scouts returned to the base, bringing with them the latest information.

"Sir, we've found something!" the two scouts reported the results of their investigation to Wei Zhouquan and the others. (To be continued.) )
