The waves of the Atlantic Ocean were rough, and three hundred elite Roman infantry, led by Caesar himself, landed on the northern beaches of Gaul on a stormy night. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

For this reason, the transport ship almost capsized, and I have to lament how difficult Julius Caesar was on the way, and the conquest of Gaul, in the eyes of outsiders, may be because of the strength of the end of the Roman Republic, the trend of the times. But Roman veterans and officers who fought in this war knew that, in fact, Caesar had taken great risks to conquer all of Gaul in just eight years, an area equal to the size of France in all his later years.

"Quick, all land, destroy the ships when they go ashore. Just tonight, destroy the ship. ”

On a stormy night, Caesar first set foot on the unknown beach of Gaul and then shouted to the legionnaires behind him.

Behind, three hundred legionnaires were struggling to climb ashore, they had no armor, and almost all the loads they carried were the necessary rations for the rest of the day, or Caesar had no intention of resisting the Gauls at all, so he removed all his weapons and equipment, and each of them kept only a short sword for self-defense.

"Anthony, this is the most adventurous of all my experiences, and I dare say Caesar is a madman."

Caesar had already landed on SH Beach, directing everyone behind him to step up the landing, and at the same time, each landing soldier had a pickaxe in his hand, ready to destroy the ship, and then these ship-breaking tools would disappear forever with the ship on this beach.

Rabienus was drenched in rain and seawater, and he cursed jokingly, he and Caesar were close friends, so a lot of jokes could be casual, and this seemed to be his prerogative, in the army, no one dared to say Caesar, not even Antony.

"Hah, then you still want to follow him?"

Mark Antony, who was also a cynical Roman general, echoed the same jokingly.

"He is my dear friend, and that's all, if it weren't for that, I would have been lying in my villa, enjoying the sun and rain of Capua, and would not have run here, in the wilderness, to do such an adventurous act with this madman."

"Who is a madman? Rabbi Enus? ”

Caesar could hear it from such a distance, and shouted at Antony and Rabienus in the pouring rain.

Such a picture suddenly gave Apis a different understanding of Caesar, perhaps as Octavia once said, Caesar was a warm and kind father and friend in front of friends and relatives. He was amiable and approachable, and even after the Gallic War, after he achieved glory, money and status, he still regarded his comrades and partners as his own.

But at the same time, great personalities are always so changeable and complex.

In politics and management, Caesar showed a cold, cunning side of his character. In order to win over Pompey, he did not hesitate to marry his daughter to a man old enough to be her father. In order to achieve political power, he did not hesitate to borrow money from all his relatives and friends, owed usury, bribed Roman nobles, and even commoners and slaves. All in order to be able to make a difference in Roman politics. This is a terrible man, and his scheming may not be able to be seen through.

Including the Gallic Wars, perhaps at this moment, everyone still thinks that Caesar is expanding the territory of the Republic and gaining glory and wealth for the Republic. However, only Apis knew that Caesar's march into Gaul was actually a game of chess on his big chessboard.

The conquest of Gaul was perhaps only a small step in Caesar's plans, and with the help of the Gauls, Caesar raised a capable army capable of fighting and dedicating himself to him. In the future, this legion will also be under his command only, and they will know only Caesar, not the Senate, and not the Roman Republic.

And with this legion, Caesar's voice in the Senate will shake the entire republic, and his every word will become a wake-up call for the senators who are sleepless day and night.

"Oh, Caesar. Your ears are getting better and better, and I promise you that I won't dare to speak ill of you so close to you in the future. ”

Rabienus smiled earthily, and the picture of this moment was so harmonious, although there were few people, they were unusually united. Everyone works towards a common goal.

And this small boat will carry historical figures who would later change the course of the entire Roman Republic. Julius Caesar, Mark Antony, Rabienus, Lepida. These people, gathered together, Appis suddenly felt a wave of heartfelt excitement. Experience it for yourself and stand with these great people in history. The period of Rome may be like the Three Kingdoms period of TC, an era of many talents.

Two days later, the Roman squad of three hundred, risking being captured by the barbarians and attacked by wild beasts, shuttled through the forests of northern Gaul, leaping over small rivers and waterfalls, all of them wearing the red wigs of Gauls and wearing savage clothing, and all the troops marched in a hurry, and Caesar did not allow anyone to camp and light fires at night, and all operations were carried out in secret. Even Caesar didn't even notice the legions that were about to join us, and Brutus might have been asleep in the camp. I don't know what Caesar is on my way to.

"Come here, hurry up, brothers, we are about to make history, and Rome is about to be glorified in our hands."

In the forest, Caesar walked in front again and again, shouting at the soldiers behind him. Personally cutting the bushes and thorns in front and making the way for those behind, he is like an energetic young man, not a middle-aged man who lacks passion. There was always hope on his face, though it might not have been so in his heart.

……

"Rabienus, we are parting here, and in front of us is the garrison of the Thirteenth Legion, and I will take a hundred men and go to that camp, while you, with the remaining two hundred, will be diverted from here to the north, to the Germanic tribe of the Upi, and with my paperwork, and all our gold coins, and go there to urgently recruit a thousand Germanic cavalry from the Upi. Vicintoli must have prepared enough Gallic cavalry for this rebellion, we need a cavalry force that is enough to fight and deal with them, the Germanic cavalry can do it, only they can do it, remember, this task is very important, you must complete it! ”

On the fifth day, Caesar's squad was about to arrive at the garrison of Brutus' legion, and in a hidden woodland, Caesar assigned the final task to his most capable general, Rabienus.
