"We should support Antony, who made countless contributions to Caesar during his expedition to Gaul, and when Caesar was at his most desperate, Antony still stood by his side and never betrayed, and Octavian was only a teenager under the age of eighteen, what could he do? I even suspect that Caesar's suicide note was tampered with by some sinister person, and that Octavian only inherited Caesar's legacy, however, it seems to me that he was a superficial teenager who did not understand anything, and he could not even ride a war horse. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info come, brothers, follow me to support Anthony and go to Anthony! ”

"You traitor! Octavian inherited the name of Caesar, this is a fact that everyone knows, and you, who have denied Caesar's heir, for the sake of Caesar's name alone, we are worthy of our allegiance until the blood is shed, this is our oath to Caesar, do you want to break your own oath? Depolis, tell me, how much benefit have you taken from Anthony in this matter? He gave you a villa? A group of women? Or a cart of gold? Say it, confess it yourself! ”

The arrival of Antony and Octavian intensified the struggle for military power, and just as Appis had anticipated, Antony spent a lot of money bribing the commanders of the legions, the centurions. However, not all of the soldiers obeyed the arrangements of their superiors, and all the legionary veterans even openly stood up against the instigation of the centurion who took the lead, saying that they were willing to support Caesar unconditionally as long as his heir was Octavian, because Caesar's name could not be questioned or violated, and they had made an oath and must be loyal to Caesar.

Compared with Antony's efforts to curry favor with the soldiers, Octavian's approach was more clever, and he appeared directly in the legion camp in a red cloak, just like Caesar had when he led his troops into battle. Octavian stood in front of all the soldiers of the army and spoke loudly on the stage.

"Soldiers, before me, before I arrived, many people had doubts, suspicions, and mistrusts of me, and they would have told Octavian that he was a small, feeble, emaciated young man. Now, then, I will let you see what kind of person Octavian really was. Indeed, he was thin and sickly. However, his mind was much more resolute than that of ordinary people, because he was the son of Gaius Julius Caesar! Soldiers, I know the purpose of your return this time, and I will not choose to force you to do anything, nor will I spend money to bribe you, because Caesar's soldiers are holy and faithful, and cannot be purchased with money. I stand here today and I just want to tell you one thing. I am Octavian, Caesar is my father, and I will inherit his name and will to continue the unfinished business of Rome until the completion of Rome that my father had hoped for. My perseverance and my determination will not be shaken by anything, it will not be questioned! ”

Octavian stood on the high platform of the barracks and spoke loudly, which had a much better effect than originally thought. Summoned by a strong sense of mission and pride, many soldiers expressed their willingness to follow Octavian. Octavian's actions and rhetoric reminded them of Caesar's time. Moreover, Octavian in his speech said that the loyalty of the Roman soldiers could not be bought with money. This further boosted the sense of honor and mission in the hearts of the soldiers. Yes, Octavian used this simplest way to awaken the long-lost sense of national mission in the hearts of Roman soldiers. Moreover, he successfully used Caesar's name to summon soldiers, and many of the Roman soldiers who conquered Parthia were Caesar's old subordinates. When they heard that Caesar's heir would carry out Caesar's will and will without hesitation, many soldiers were touched by the magnificence, and they saw a young man eager to avenge Caesar, a young man full of faith and perseverance, and a young man who inherited Caesar's spirit.

"Damn, that bastard recruited such a number of legions under the banner of Caesar!"

Antoine was annoyed to hear that most of the legionnaires had defected to Octavian, and he kicked over the bounty intended for the Thirteenth Legion, and the servants hurriedly gathered the money. I'm afraid that Anthony will be angry and take their lives with a sword.

"What are we going to do next? It would be very detrimental to us to allow Octavian's power to grow in this way, and since Octavian absorbed the eight legions left behind by Caesar, his strength could not be underestimated. ”

Domitius asked Anthony worriedly.

If there was anything that could make Anthony feel disgraced, the fact that he had money on hand but couldn't buy soldiers was undoubtedly unbearable for him. Caesar's veteran rejected the deal in front of him, and Anthony felt like a clown standing on the stage for ridicule.

"I can't take it lightly, and I'm about to teach this hairy boy a bloody lesson. Tomorrow, Domitius, we will set out on our way north along the Avenue of Abia, and use this money to buy soldiers who are willing to follow me along the way, and I will let Octavian know what will happen to me if I am humiliated. In addition, you personally go to Aletine and ask DJ Brutus to hand over the military power, he has two private mercenaries in his hands, with a sum of money, to buy his people, and in a month, I will attack Octavian's camp with 50,000 soldiers! ”

Antoine was annoyed and sat down in a circle chair and began to dictate to Domitius.

"But Antony, I don't think DJ Brutus will give up the legions easily, after he fled Rome, he did not hesitate to spend all his assets to hire those two legions, just to protect his personal safety, but we want to deprive him of his military rights, which is tantamount to taking his life, and the civilians of Rome and the veterans of Caesar's old ministry will kill him."

Domitius kindly reminded Antony. What he meant, perhaps Antony could not be in a hurry about this, and if he wanted to fight Octavian, he would have to mobilize the armies of the northern provinces and Gaul. DJ Brutus probably won't hand over his private army so easily.

"Then force him to hand over the legions, and if he does not obey, I will take a mob to his house, arrest him, and beat him in the streets. The local poor would probably like to see that happen. ”

Anthony returned fidgetily.
