Chapter 375: The Return

In the blink of an eye, half a month passed, and the wounded soldiers at that time gradually recovered and returned to the army one after another. During this time, Luga was promised the first reward for the nobles who participated in the financing of the Grand Sequanolen Province.

Within a month, the sparsely populated city was once again crowded with aristocrats from the province of Gran Sequanolen, who had been uprooted by the war, but now the city was reclaimed to Roman hands. Because they believe in Luga, and they believe that Luga will be able to hold this place firmly and never lose it again.

In return, Luga agreed to return all the property that once belonged to them, including the house. This was for the sake of the nobility, and of course the victory in the siege meant that Luga could get more financing, although there were no more men to recruit in Augusta-Treville.

Luga was wearing armor, although it was peaceful for now, but no one could pat his chest to guarantee that there would be no Bagunda rebels to harass him in the next second. So the state of preparation for war continued, but this time Luga walked out of the governor's palace and walked along the familiar street towards the city gate.

He could have ridden in a carriage, but Luga would not have sat down, preferring to carry heavy armor and follow Andrew towards the city gate step by step. Along the way, they cleared the streets of abandoned houses and tried to find some valuable gadgets inside to support their families, and Luga passed by them, casting strange glances that Luga simply ignored.

"I just don't understand." Andrew followed behind Luga and complained: "What are they worthy, we are the victors, this is undeniable, Luga, if you want to go, they should go to the Doge's Palace and admit their mistakes to you!" ”

"Oh, yes, yes! Andrew! Luga said, "You must be tired of walking, or you wouldn't be so complaining!" ”

Seeing that the old bottom was demolished, Andrew naturally had nothing to say, he snorted coldly twice, and followed behind Luga without saying a word.

A few minutes away, Luga and Andrew finally came to the north gate of Augusta-Treville, which was already crowded with carriages not far away, it can be said that now the nobles can't wait to return to this city that has just been recovered by Luga, in their eyes, it is full of many business opportunities that ordinary people can't see, and there is a lot of money to be made.

On the side of the road outside the city gate, there was a carriage that was different from the rest of the procession, and they were not in a hurry to squeeze into the city, but they were parked alone outside the city.

There were two people standing next to the car, which was familiar to Luga and Andrew, Arecio and Sebastianus, and the two of them had come here with the nobleman's convoy, of course, to fulfill the bet they had made with Luga at that time. Since they are old acquaintances, they naturally don't need so many meeting gifts.

It's just that Arecio doesn't look happy, his face is gloomy, and Luga knows in his heart that he doesn't like to lose, but he has to accept this reality.

"Hey, Arrecio, my old friend!" Luga smiled kindly and patted Arecio on the shoulder as if nothing had happened.

Faced with such treatment, Arecio seemed to tilt his head to the side unappreciatively, not giving the top boss any face.

"Well, did you bring everything?" Luga asked Sebastianus.

"Brought it, this is all Arrecio spent a lot of time preparing." Sebastianus said, pulling Luga around and into the small carriage. Sebastianus handed Luga a few pieces of parchment and said to him: "This is a detailed record of the disposition of all the rebels in Belgian Gaul, and now the news of your attack on Augusta-Treville has spread throughout Belgian Gaul, and of course most of the provinces of Gaul have learned about it. For the Purple Room, who is still in the province of Italy, it is only a matter of time before he knows this. ”

"I'd be glad to let Augusta know!" Andrew added, "After all, it is a city that has fallen for a long time, and this recovery will improve Luga's status in the empire!" ”

"Of course, it will also alert Aetius!" Luga said unhurriedly: "I think Aetius is now trying to maintain the balance of the Gallic provinces, and now this bold attack of mine has re-provoked the dispute in the calming provinces of Gaul, this is not another big melee, we must be fully prepared before the melee!" ”

"Luga!" Arecio, who had been silent for a long time, spoke: "I'll ask you now, you said that you promised to give me the title of Belgian Gaul, after all, you have already deceived me once!" ”

"Nature counts!" Luga replied solemnly.

"What guarantees do you have?" Arecio asked.

"My life!" Luga's words were extremely resolute, and the same tone also made Arecio feel that Luga was trustworthy at this time!

"Good!" Arecio nodded at Luga, then took out a huge parchment map from behind him, Arecio spread it out in front of Luga, and then said to Luga: "This is the detailed location of the Belgian Galuba Gouda rebels, you see! Pointing to the empty space between Agrippina and Dulotor Koram, Arecio said to Luga: "There are dozens of villages, large and small, and a large number of Bagouda rebels are stationed in them, they are no different from normal civilians, they just live here, but if they want to fight, they will take up arms and become a headache team, we can't slaughter village by village, so that even if we get to Agrippina or Dulotor Koram, our army will become extremely tired, Or we may be attacked by the rebels in the middle of the road, so we have no chance of winning. ”

"I've got a solution!" Speaking of this, Luga looked at Arecio and stretched out a finger to Arecio: "This method will allow us to break through this dense defense line without much effort. ”

"What?"

Everyone present stared at Luga with wide eyes, and they were all patiently waiting for Luga to tell him about this feasible plan.

"Don't forget." Lu Jia sneered and said: "We have a lot of money in our hands now, of course, as this fallen province, even if we carry the Purple Chamber and the Senate behind our backs, we can not only comply with the "Law of All Peoples" and the "Code of Theodosius", but we can also quickly form an army here to support us." ”

"Great idea!" Andrew slapped his thigh and said, "We can also use this method on mercenaries, maybe they will give up their high commissions to devote themselves to the battle for free." ”

"Is this plan feasible?" Arecio was still a little worried, as was Sebastianus, because this approach was undoubtedly too bold and challenged the authority of the law and the Purple Chamber.

"Whatever, as long as you can recover the lost territory, anything is feasible!" What Luga said cannot be denied!
