Chapter 5: The High Priest's Expedition (I)
"You can't pity those who don't bathe." - Ancient Roman poet Galatas
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
"Boom", the young Caesar's eyes continued to be full of angry bloodshots, and with his bruised hands, he pushed open the bronze door of his inner hall, and then when he passed through the lobby, he directly pulled out the robes and underwear on his body, and walked into the bath in the shed in the backyard.
"Don't you keep the water in the bath at a constant temperature at all times?" Then came the cry of rage.
The maid who took the lead was directly kicked over by the naked young Caesar, and then she slapped her mouth like a bow left and right, and the maid's nose was already bleeding all over her face, but she still knelt on the ground, not daring to resist, not even moaning and breathing, letting the stormy fists and feet fall on her body, and with the owner's venting shouts, the rest of the maids did not dare to slack off, and were still trembling and constantly pouring hot water into the pool, coming and going, as if they had not seen anything.
"Fools, all fools, don't dare to do anything without instructions in place, slaves are like that, worthless slaves bought from Gaul." Finally, the young Caesar was tired, and his hands were full of the golden hair of the slave girl, but he still did not stop, and quickly pulled up the head and face of the slave girl with a blue nose and swollen face, and forced his lower body into her mouth, and then continued to hold the other party's blonde hair. Desperately tugging back and forth
After that. The slave girl nodded her head mechanically. Shrugging his scarred shoulders, holding the barrel, holding back his weeping, his face was blue and red, and his torn and unkempt hair was lifted, he limped towards the back room, "Go and give her ten dinars, and then ask the herbalist to give her some medicine, our Julius family has always been merciful to our subordinates." "Vent the end of the young Caesar. He said to the servant who was bent down and ordered by him, "Remember, don't rub oil in the middle, whether it's money or whatever, I say ten is ten, or I'll treat you the same way." ”
After giving the order, the young Caesar took a breath and walked back into the bath.
"My God, you treat slaves like a merciless war, even though you are a pure Roman in this respect. But it should also be learned from Leo, who was gentle with his slaves. And the topic of kindness to slaves has been raised by philosophers, and it is time to draw your attention, and if you beat him today, he will take revenge more ferociously tomorrow when the limelight changes, and this time the public enemy declares that it is very obvious. At this time, Octavia, who had just arrived to stop the commotion, stood in front of the curtain outside the bathroom, and persuaded her brother who was immersed in it in surprise.
"My dear sister, I hope you don't mention this name in my ear again. Slaves, what is a slave? They're not even human, the unlucky ones just deserve their bad luck, and they have nothing to do with slaves. Young Caesar was tired and angry, and then he looked up at his sister, "Look at you, you are now the sister of the Grand Counsel, but you are still like an ignorant lady from a well-off family, with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, what are you still doing at home?" Do you wait for something even more stupid to happen to do what all Roman women of your age should do, to marry little Phillips? ”
The elder sister, who was still standing by the curtain, was so surprised that Cheng Dù couldn't be more excited, she really didn't understand why her current brother had become like this, sadness and despair came to her heart, and she immediately knelt down and sobbed.
At the same time, at the Villa of Prima, "Paluma followed me on the expedition, and Leo went to Sicily as a deputy envoy, equivalent to the former provincial treasurer, and cooperated with the new envoy Helcius, to make a good supply of materials between Sardinia and Sicily, and the base was set up in the city of Liliba; Then the new governor of Africa, Malclus, will cooperate with you in the transportation work. Remember, take a good look, and logistical tasks such as soldiers, grain, and timber will be left on your shoulders. Li Bida was on the couch and instructed Leo and Vivia, who had come to greet him.
"Yes, Father. That is, you are preparing to attack Spain from Africa, from Numidia? I thought you would go through the province of Naiba and enter enemy territory from the Pyrenees Pass. ”
"No, you don't have to go there, then the logistics will be hindered by Anthony's guy, and that bastard is probably angry with me right now!" Li Bida said with a smile, "But it doesn't matter, he can't change his nature, and he always puts personal grievances first, so he will still come to me, like a docile war horse." In addition, the two sea-separate passages to Spain are now under my control, Rabinus and Séctus. Pompey had nothing to do, they were completely passive, and the strategic plan this time was to march from Numidia and crush the opponent without any strange tactics. ”
At this time, the little pigeon Paluma handed over a few sealed word plates, and Li Bida opened them and read them one by one, "Very good, the Ninth and Tenth Legions have joined my expeditionary force according to the joint mention of Pisso and Cicero, and my current front-line military strength includes seventh, ninth, tenth, twelfth, thirteenth, fifteenth, twenty-seventh, and the original that has been officially reorganized into the nineteenth legion." The Isthmus Legion', and a new infantry legion from Cyrenaica, and a cavalry legion, were given the names of the Twentieth and Twenty-second Legions, respectively, and in addition to the agreement that Antony had sent a new legion to assist him, and together with the Twenty-fifth Legion of the Numidian envoy Celeste, and the men of the local Hitius, I now have a full fifteen legions, and most of the treasury rations. Little pigeon, the new cavalry regiment will be under your joint command with Dusonville, and I will also give you the Mattia cavalry and the Vibichina cavalry that have crossed the sea, and strengthen your forward force. ”
"I will be fully familiar with the characteristics of each cavalry, and turn it into a sword in my father's hand." Paruma generously stated, "And Brother Leo is the shield in his father's hands. ”
"That Vivia is the feather feather on my father's helmet." At this time, Li Bida's beautiful daughter-in-law with wheat-skinned skin rushed to say mischievously that she was only a girl less than twenty years old after all.
"No, Vivia, you are by no means a gorgeous feather, when I go to the front line after leaving with the man, you and Yulia Mama are the guardians of the family, protect Poti and all the others, you should always carry the consciousness and responsibility of a mistress like Yulia Mama - so remember, when anything happens in the city of Rome, you should not rush to meet Leo, but you should go to Sardinia first, and be with Yulia Mama, she always has a way, and this is also the secret I have reserved for you." Li Bida stood up, touched Vivia's head, and reminded. (To be continued......)
