Where is this discussion, this is obviously a naked threat, it may be that he is used to dealing with these old guys in the Senate, Aetius always speaks so kindly, so compared to Luga is aggressive, but his attitude is more real, but now Diodoric's tough attitude has led to Luga's arrogance and unreasonableness.

No matter how you say it, it will be threatened, or the land of the three parties, and it is also the interests of the three parties. If even one of them refuses to budge, then all the discussions will end in failure.

Verbal threats are trivial, and there is nothing more fearful than to really do it without saying a word, and such heavy losses may not be able to withstand even Aetius, a dignified soldier captain.

It doesn't matter, Luga, a young fellow, never knew what it meant to be in moderation. The most critical thing is Theodoric's attitude, if it is not a problem to divide these grains and gold equally, then the most important thing is to see whether Theodoric is willing or not, which is also where Aetius's heart disease lies at this time.

"Son of a bitch!" Aetius clenched his teeth, his fists clenched involuntarily, a thousand sheep, what can this little thing do?

Theodoric was clearly finding an excuse to keep himself out of the matter, as Aetius could see. He just regretted that he didn't find out this guy in time, and forgot that this was originally a struggle of interests.

"No, I can't just pay for this almost farce-like request!" Aetius kept shouting in his heart, at first he wanted to embarrass Luga, and then grab some tricks or something from it, but he didn't expect Theodoric to put himself in it at all, but he has always been a one-man show actor who continues to direct and act by himself.

"Lord Theodoric." I saw Aetius sitting straight at Theodoric and said, "This is a security issue related to the entire Gaul region and northern Iberia, and we can't afford to think about it carefully." ”

"Then how do we suppress the Suebi?" Theodoric then retorted, "And the Alans from southern Iberia, where did these guys come from!" Also, they claim to be allies of the Romans, so they show off their might right before us. I can't understand how you Romans can indulge your allies! ”

Theodoric was very decisive in his words, because he did not want to be involved in it, so there was no friendship at all or that the enemy of his enemy was a friend. The three people present were all fighting for their own interests, not to mention that Luga was threatening him again.

"You must pay today, Theodoric!" Aetius glared at Theodoric and thought to himself.

"Hey, Roman boy!" Theodoric naturally didn't give an inch, he stared at Luga, and said in a deep voice: "Don't dream, you can't get any of them from me!" ”

"Okay, that's okay!" Luga spread his hands and shrugged his shoulders, "Then, I will tell the barbarians stationed in the Belgian province of Gaul that there is enough food for them to eat in the Kingdom of Visgothic for ten years, and when the time comes, I will watch, Your Excellency, how you fought on two fronts!" ”

"Smack!" Theodoric I slapped the table and stood up directly, he glared at Luga, and his tone was full of coldness: "You are threatening me!" Flavis. Luga. ”

"You think I'm going to be afraid of you?" Luga looked at Theodoric and sneered, not at all afraid. "I don't know how long my army will be able to control this group of barbarians, anyway, now that I have suffered enough heavy losses, such a large group of barbarians going south, you and Lord Aetius will not have a good end!"

"Oh? Is it. Anyway, I wouldn't mind chopping you up for food to appease those damn barbarians! ”

"That's enough!" Aetius finally couldn't pretend to be calm, he slammed the table and shouted, "Is it possible that quarrel will solve the problem? You know, maybe another barbarian will cross the river in the middle of this quarrel! ”

After speaking, seeing that the two of them were silent, Aetius felt that things might still turn around, so he looked at Theodoric I and said in a slightly softened tone: "Lord Theodoric, no, Lord King, we really need to face the great barbarians together now instead of endless quarrels here!" ”

Then he said to Theodoric I, "Your Excellency, I could pay for ten million pounds of beans and barley for such a distribution of grain, and a thousand cattle and three thousand sheep for your own sake. As for the gold, I suggest that we split it in half, three thousand pounds on one side. ”

"Hmph, that's easy." Aetius's proposal was not met with approval, but with a sneer from Theodoric, "If I give you all the cattle, sheep, and gold, then what will my soldiers on the front line eat and what will they pay for their salaries?" I don't have food and I still have military pay, so how can I command soldiers to fight again? How else was the Iberian war against the Suebi fought? ”

This can be regarded as pouring out a stomach of bitter water, but Theodoric's words clearly mean that in order to maintain the integrity of the Roman territory, he actually wants to take the opportunity to annex the territory of the Suebi to expand his own strength. This was clear to Aetius and Luga, but it could not be said, lest the hot-tempered barbarian be displeased and go away because he had lost face.

"So, Lord Luga." Aetius looked at Luga again, and said with a smile: "You see, the price you have offered has really stumped me and His Excellency Theodoric, but can you, I mean, be more accommodating, for God's sake, because the cold climate has not allowed me to get a good harvest on the farms in my jurisdiction." ”

"Not a grain of wheat is missing!" Luga's answer was about to suffocate Aetius, and Luga looked really difficult to speak at this time, "Your Excellency Aetius, I think you also know the fighting power of these barbarians, and I can't make them hungry. But then again, you are also a person who has fought on mercenaries, would you bargain with mercenaries? ”

"It's different..."

"How is it different? Lord Aetius! Luga directly interrupted Aetius, leaving Aetius speechless.

Now it's only up to Theodoric, if this guy says a "no" again, then this hard-working meeting will really be over!

Aetius did not believe in this evil, and he still wanted to try, so he cheekily asked Theodoric I, "If you don't think about it, your Excellency......"

"Then let these damned barbarians come!" Theodoric stood up and turned to walk away, leaving only Luga and Aetius in the room.

"It doesn't seem to be going as far as your wishes would like." Luga sat down in his seat and laughed, and said a word to Aetius, who bowed his head, "Perhaps Your Excellency has forgotten the fact that he, Theodoric, is also a barbarian. With that, Luga got up, bowed slightly to Aetius, and withdrew from the venue.

Seeing that the whole scene was at an impasse because of the distribution of food and money, the meeting broke up with Theodoric leaving, leaving Aetius alone with his fists clenched.
