Chapter 4: The Downtrodden General (Part II)
"You don't need a centurion, just serve as the chief lieutenant general in this Restoration Legion of Liberidaus, of course, this legion is informal, I'm afraid there is only one lieutenant general." As Caesar spoke, he pointed to "Calabis" beside him, and this time it was Peternius' turn to open his mouth wide and almost close.
"Welcome, my old superior, you read that right, the plan for the expedition to Egypt is about to be adopted. How, are you willing to join us and become a strong member? Caesar's side Li Bida smiled and stretched out his hand to Peternius, "I knew about your family situation yesterday, so I will first send 300,000 Cesdes to express your gratitude, so that your salary for going to Egypt is 100,000 drachmas for a year, and you have one-fifth of the spoils of war." ”
Now Peterneoston calmed down, and when he heard this price, he immediately dismissed the request to seek a military position in the province of Gaul, what good is that, he is fully aware of the riches of Egypt, so he immediately turned his head at Li Bida respectfully, obviously he has reacted, this man is by no means a leader of the guard in Caesar's army, "Dear Lord Calabis, please allow my loyalty to the Republic to be temporarily turned into the courage to serve under your battalion!" ”
"There is no need to call this name, Calabis is now my lieutenant general, the treasurer of Illyria, and the commander of the Twelve Legions." Caesar said with a smile.
Then Li Bida asked, now that I have determined the source of troops and the plan for the expedition has been approved, Ptolemy XII and his daughter, under my "careful protection", can we apply for the recruitment funds of the provincial government office. Went to southern Gaul and Rome to recruit the Thirteenth Legion? When I'm done, I'll send the legions to the camp in Milan. Wait until the end of the winter camp in Besançon. You then assign the right person.
"How do you say that? The Thirteenth Legion, wasn't it raised by Liberidaus? Caesar's words made Li Bida stunned, but the other party's explanation below made Li Bida immediately realize that this bald man is simply a master of the "white wolf with empty gloves", and he is just as ruthless as anyone who attacks:
For Caesar has now spent all the spoils of the war against the Sewvertes, worth twenty million Cesses, all of which he has spent—you must know that one of my political enemies in Rome (formerly), the Grand Counsel of Pinzel, has changed his position. Turning to support me, I paid off the debt of forty million Cestricks for him, and Caesar's spending was insane, crazy to the point of never being reckless.
Therefore, Caesar's current plan is to recruit only one fourteenth legion in the Po River valley, and as for the thirteenth legion, he will only give the number to Li Bida, and promise that this legion will also be under Li Bida's command, but now there is no spare money to turn the number into a substance. Caesar's plan was that Li Bida was not about to take a mercenary group mixed with three sects and nine streams. Go to Egypt to fight Alexandria, and when it is successful, let Li Bida come back with this experienced mercenary group, and then upgrade it to the "Thirteenth Legion of Illyria".
"I have designed the totem logo of this auxiliary legion for you, a lion of Africa, how can it be very appropriate, because it is said that the palace of Pharaoh Alexandro is full of such animals." Caesar's warm and thoughtful act made Li Pida's face distort with excitement, and after he had finished saluting His Excellency the Governor, he said that I would leave the village of Lussel at once, and proceed with the relevant matters, and then leave with Peternius.
scolded fiercely in his heart: This shameless bald man!
As the two men reached the courtyard, there was a sudden commotion at the door, and the two men violently pushed away the servants who stood in the way, walked in with their heads held high, and said to the Spanish swordsman who was striding forward with the hilt of his sword, "Please report to Your Excellency the Governor, that Cassiio of Apollonia and Quintus are here to standby!" ”
Just when this scene was full of seriousness, a yellow-haired woman in a strange pattern behind the Cassiyo also pushed away the crowd loudly, and there were two children behind her, and a woman with thick black hair shouted: "May I ask the commander of the Thyme Twelfth Legion, Li Bida, is here or in Besançon?" ”
This voice made Li Bida, who was still angry just now, tremble, he hurriedly stepped forward and pushed away the swordsman guards, only to see if Yulia's stubborn amber eyes touched him, and in the quiet courtyard, behind her, Potty bent over and patted little Leo and Corinna on the back, signaling them to go and hug their father, his eyes and cheeks were already full of tears, and in the whispering crowd outside, the little pigeon's head was struggling to see if his adoptive father was okay.
Li Bida, who hugged his children intimately, felt that the autumn sun over Lussel Village was very delicate and warm.
"It was my negligence, I didn't expect the herald to die on the way, I really can't imagine what kind of suffering you have been these days."
Before Potty could speak, Yulia pulled the pins of her hair and said, "There is no suffering, I have arranged the team on the road properly, you and my two children are also obedient, and I have been escorted by these two generals." ”
At this time, Li Bida put down his children, greeted and hugged Cassiyo very cordially, introduced himself to each other, and continued to hold Quintus's hand, "You are a noble man, and I have no resentment because of my confrontation with your brother, and I swear to do my best to assist your brother in returning to Rome this year." ”
At the end, Li Bida stood opposite Yulia and said, "I used to think that I was the role of the helper, but now, no matter what, I admire your bravery and steadfastness, and Potty and the children have to be helped by you. ”
"What nonsense, I'm just going to deal with your property, and we're going to settle down in Milan this time." Yuria's tone was very flat, but with some pride, although it was also a calm pride, and later Porti saw her under her neck with pale golden fluff, a slight flush.
"Industry, what kind of industry to deal with?" Li Bida asked curiously.
Yulia then swept all around, and with a smug expression, whispered to her husband, "I understand your letter, and I dare not sell the Laconia region, so I will sell the rest of the property in exchange for the lack of funds. ”
As soon as he heard this, and then remembered the constraints of Caesar's bastard just now, Li Bida put down his children, suddenly felt dizzy, and then a mouthful of old blood rolled in his heart, looked at Yulia with a sluggish face, and shouted in his heart, "Ruthless enough, you old lady of a loser" (to be continued......
