After the defeat of Ptolemy XIII, the whole of Egypt has actually fallen into Caesar's pocket, but ruling a region is far from being as simple as conquering by force, the legion defeated Ptolemy XIII, and the subjects of Egypt and Alexandria will not be so willing to submit to Roman rule, so Caesar made a very rational decision at this time, he followed the ancestral instructions of the Ptolemaic dynasty, and let Cleopatra and another young prince inherit the throne of Egypt together. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoThis strange ancestral training Apis has always been very incomprehensible, but this is the reality of the people.

Then, before Appis could enjoy his leisure time in Egypt, another hard war awaited him, a rebellion on the eastern shore of the Mediterranean, the rebellion of Pharnacis. In fact, this rebellion had taken place a year earlier in the fierce battle between Caesar and Pompey in Greece, but at that time, no one was able to take care of this rebellion in the East. Ruling a huge country is not as simple as the game, such as siege, slaughter, and enslavement, so simple, over the years, Apis has seen how Caesar deals with trivial affairs in the occupied areas, to respect the local folk customs, religious beliefs, and freedom of trade, and the rule of the Romans often causes riots against them, so it is very necessary to reduce the tax rate in a timely manner, open up some ports for free trade, retain the religious beliefs of the conquered areas, and punish some corrupt officials who should be punished, these are very necessary, Just like the ancestors of Great China said, it is easy to fight the country, but it is difficult to defend the country.

Now, with Caesar's own letters, Apis will visit the regions that the Romans had conquered, Syria, Palestine, Antioch, Silesia, and so on. Caesar himself, after a long and tired battle, was to stay in Egypt and sail the Nile with the beautiful young queen Cleopatra, though it sounded like it was to find the source of the Nile......

The legionaries of Pharnacisse were divided into two routes, one led by Lepida and marched by sea, and the other led by Appis by land, while Antony took advantage of the absence of northwest winds in the Mediterranean to sail to Rome to deal with the complicated affairs of Rome.

As for the historical Battle of Alexander, it did not happen after all, although it was so full of romantic feelings in the pen of countless literati and ink writers, the futon that was carried into the room was slowly opened, and a young and beautiful Queen Cleopatra came out of it, and then, persecuted by traitors, the first warrior of Rome angrily drew his sword in order to protect the queen, and fought with tens of thousands of enemies...... When the flames of war ignited the Library of Alexandria, Caesar jumped over the sea and swam across the sea full of arrows to capture the Lighthouse of Alexandria...... Everything, after all, did not happen, although Apis also expected such a storyline, but the reality is that after the occupation of Egypt, the alliance with the queen, the defeat of Ptolemy XIII, and a series of events, Caesar showed an extremely calm and steady style, and did not do anything for the sake of beauty as in the plot of later movies......

At least the Library of Alexandria hasn't burned down, and the majestic and towering Lighthouse of Alexandria can still be seen from the Roman giant warships moored in the harbor. All this, under the beautiful scenery of the sunset, still shows a proud demeanor, looking at everything beautiful in front of him, Appis even has a feeling of tears in his eyes for a moment.

From Alexander to Syria, along the way, Apis strictly carried out Caesar's orders, and with Caesar's will, returned Jaffa, the main port of Judea, to the Jews, and relieved them of the obligation to provide food for the winter camp of the Roman legions, exempting them from the Jewish provincial taxes for three months, these things were supposed to be promulgated and executed by Caesar himself, and now, it has become Apis's promulgation and execution on behalf of Caesar, and for the first time after the crossing, Apis saw the worship and pursuit of countless people, although in fact, they were grateful to Caesar, but Apis, who was touring Syria on behalf of Caesar, was also treated with great friendliness.

Appis sometimes felt that Caesar was very good at ideological work, and the people of the province who supported Pompey in the civil war originally thought that Caesar had won the victory and would punish and retaliate against them, but after a few months, whether it was Greece, Egypt, or Syria, all of them were not punished by Caesar, on the contrary, those who originally supported Pompey were forgiven, including Brutus.

In Syria, Appis also met with the Sixth Legion, which Caesar had sent to arrive long ago, and Domitius stood outside the barracks like a resentful woman, waiting for Caesar's belated reinforcements.

Because, before this, Caesar only sent a legion to resist the army of Pharnaciss, and as a result, the poor Roman general was in the case of only one legion at hand, stubbornly resisted the attack of Pharnacis's army for three months, and then was beaten back to Syria alive, under the defense of the high walls of the wall, only to this day, the arrival of Apis became a matter of course, so that the Roman army and the rebellious Pharnassis army were equal in strength.

"Pharnaciss, perhaps the Eastern Legion he leads is not a good legion, but he himself is definitely not to be underestimated, we have lost many soldiers in these months of hard fighting with them, a legion of five thousand, a thousand dead and the plague, and now there are only a thousand left, to be honest, I don't know how long I will be able to hold out in Syria until you arrive."

Upon arriving at Caesar's Sixth Army camp in Syria, Domitius began to talk about his war with the rebel king Pharnacisus for the past three months. Apis listened carefully to his every combat experience and process, although the whole battle process was unremarkable, there was no subtle layout and tactics, and there was no wonderful battle performance, but Apis still listened carefully to the whole process. After all, when encountering a new opponent, the level of his strength cannot be concluded in advance, even if the Ninth and Tenth Legions are Caesar's elite divisions.

"By the way, did Caesar send you here alone? I mean, only two legions? I read in the letter that Caesar was going to send four legions to encircle Pharnaciss, but why did I see only two? ”

Domitius talked endlessly, and after talking about the situation of the battle, seeing that Apis still did not speak, he continued to ask.

"I brought the Ninth Legion and the Tenth Legion first, Lepida will lead the rest of the Legion to the north, but I don't know why it hasn't arrived yet, maybe the sea breeze will affect the navigation of the ship in real time, I can only guess and explain it like this, but, judging from the battle report you said, Pharnasis may not need the four legions to encircle and suppress it with all their might, maybe the three legions we have together will be enough to solve this rebellion in a short time."

Appis said calmly. (To be continued.) )
