"Chapter 135: Personnel Adjustments"
When a person embarks on the path of inner introspection and says, "I want to find inner freedom," it means that he wants to take the course of his life into his own hands.

After the matter of the Auxiliary Legion and the Tuntian Legion was decided, another issue that Bai Feng did not want to mention but had to mention was brought to the table, that is, Lu Quis's appointment of Lucas was actually beyond the scope that Bai Feng could accept.
Bai Feng, who has never been a narrow-minded person, the most unacceptable thing in his life is the betrayal of the people around him, and Lucas's betrayal of Bai Feng in the Roman world has always been a thorn in Bai Feng's heart, as long as he thinks about it, he will be angry.
Even if Bai Feng knew that Lucas in this world would never betray him, he still couldn't entrust Lucas with a heavy responsibility, which is why, it was clear that Lucas was a capable system general, but he never got Bai Feng's reuse.
The assistant of Luquis, the supreme military commander of the city of Rome, a position that seems to be extremely prominent, but in fact has no real power, Bai Feng put Lucas in such a position with no real power, to some extent, in order to idle Lucas.
As Bai Feng expected, when Lucas assigned the army, he actually appointed Lucas as the commander of several legions, making his status instantly above the legion commander, making him the deputy of the supreme military commander of Rome in the true sense.
Such a result is obviously not what Bai Feng wants to see, especially under the premise that the situation in Rome City is very good, Bai Feng, who has a deep prejudice against Lucas, is even more unlikely to allow Lucas, who once betrayed him, to take power in a high position.
When Adrien personally reported the recent situation of Lucas to Bai Feng, Bai Feng's heart must be false if he was not angry, but when he calmed down, he would not really blame Lucis for this incident.
No matter what Lucas has done, it can't change Luques's loyalty to him, and Bai Feng still knows this, but Luques's appointment of Lucas has given Bai Feng a wake-up call, no matter what, Lucas is Luques's own brother.
Bai Feng believed that Lucas would never be able to put Lucas before the interests of the city of Rome, let alone put Lucas above his loyalty to himself, and even so, Luques's appointment of Lucas was still an indisputable fact.
In order to avoid further improvement of Lucas's status in Rome in the future, Bai Feng decided to have a good talk with Lucas about Lucas's appointment;
"Luquis, after this battle, I have found that if you are the commander of the Fifth Legion, it will affect your command of the army. As soon as he spoke, Bai Feng didn't go straight to the point, but said on the matter: "I plan to reappoint a legion commander, what do you think?"
"But by the Governor's orders!" Luquis was always so meticulous in such matters.
So, Bai Feng said in an inquiring tone: "I intend to let Lucas succeed him as the commander of the Fifth Roman Legion, what do you think?"
"Lucas?" Luques, who raised his eyebrows slightly, shook his head and refused: "Governor, Lucas has never held any position in the Fifth Legion, and his sudden transfer to the Fifth Legion as the commander of the Legion may cause dissatisfaction among officers at all levels of the Fifth Legion." ”
"Then do you have any good suggestions?" the undeniable Bai Feng asked lightly, "To the Fifth Legion and Lucas." ”
"In the case of the Fifth Legion, I propose that Aldington, the former lieutenant of the Fifth Legion, succeed him as the Legion Commander. Without the slightest hesitation, Lucas directly gave his own advice: "His qualifications and abilities are enough to take on the responsibility of the commander of the legion." ”
"More importantly, he was promoted step by step from centurion, captain, and wing commander to the adjutant general of the Fifth Legion; ”
At this point, Lucquis paused for a moment before continuing, "As for Lucas, his qualifications and abilities are good enough to be the commander of the legion, but it is also a kind of training to keep him by my side as an assistant until there is no suitable place for him. ”
Luquis's arrangement of the Fifth Army and his evaluation of Lucas can be regarded as truly avoiding relatives outside the outside and not avoiding relatives inside, but the crux of the matter is that such a result is not what Bai Feng wants, and he is unwilling to keep Lucas by Luques's side.
"If Lucas is really good enough to be the commander of the legion, then we in the city of Rome will form a new Eighth Legion. Bai Feng smiled and said: "Thousands of troops are easy to get, and it is difficult to find a general, I am reluctant to do such a wasteful thing to idle a general." ”
"Moreover, all the Roman soldiers we need for the full strength of our seven Roman legions have been recruited last month, and with the new month approaching, we have thirty more recruiting places available in the city of Rome, and it is time to form a new Roman legion. ”
Lu Quis, who was not dissatisfied with Bai Feng's opinion, after thinking about it carefully, hesitated slightly: "Governor, General Bashirek has not officially served as the commander of the legion, is he a little anxious to form the Eighth Roman Legion for Lucas at this time?"
"Luquis, you don't have to think too much. Bai Feng shook his head lightly and said: "Bashirek is different from Lucas, he is proficient in cavalry warfare rather than foot combat, and after returning to Rome, I will hand over Antio's Heavy Hammer Legion to Bashirek, this is his legion." ”
"Give the Hammer Legion to General Bashirek, even if General Antio has no opinion, the proud generals of the Heavy Hammer Legion may not easily accept General Bashirek;
"It doesn't need to be that much trouble. Bai Feng waved his hand and said, "If Bashirek can't recover even a single heavy hammer legion, then what qualifications does he have to be among the legions of our Roman City? I'm sure Bashirek won't let me down!"
Seeing that Bai Feng had made up his mind, Lu Quis, who no longer hesitated, took the initiative to take the initiative and said: "Since this is the case, then I will start to prepare for the formation of the Longbow Wing of the Eighth Roman Legion, and when the army returns to Rome City, I will build the framework of the Eighth Legion as soon as possible." ”
"No, Luquis, your mission is to raise three auxiliary legions and assist Gamilios in the creation of twenty-seven new Tuntian legions. In this regard, Bai Feng simply refused: "I will personally arrange the formation of the Eighth Legion, so you don't need to be distracted." ”
"No!" Luquis, who instantly understood in his heart, immediately responded respectfully.
After Luquis left, Bai Feng also paid attention to Aldington, who was about to be promoted to the captain of the Fifth Roman Legion, and it didn't matter if he didn't pay attention to it, but it scared Bai Feng to pick it up, it turned out that Aldington had been promoted to a system general!
