"War also has its rules, which both good and brave men must follow." -- Camillus

Soon Antony entered the tent in a rage, and Curio and the servants rose to meet him, and he shouted that the bastards of the Senate had attacked me from behind.

"So what about the current plan?" Curio asked hurriedly.

After saying that, the two of them stared at Leo in unison, but Leo didn't seem to see it and didn't say a word.

"Tell me what you think, boy." Curio spoke in a threatening tone.

Leo looked at him, then sat down on the bench by the tent, thought for a moment, and said, "Dear father, Lord Antony, you should take five legions and go to my father, and throw in the towel to him—so that all men will not have to kill each other, and I believe this is what Young Caesar would like to see." ”

But before he could finish his sentence, Anthony began to roar, saying that you need not say any more of this toss-and-over words, or I will enforce military discipline and imprison you and whip you.

"To make a position adjustment, the Ninth Legion will continue to besiege the city of Mutina along the small battalion that has just been captured today, and the Eleventh Legion will act as a guard on the flank of the main camp to guard against possible reinforcements from other areas. Then you and I, with the most elite of the 5th, 8th, and 10th legions, together with all the cavalry, will first turn around and completely defeat Octavian's army, and then turn back to settle the city of Mutina and Dehemoth. Curio made this plan after judging the situation.

"However, the loyalty of these three legions will be very problematic. If only they knew the army they were facing. It was the words that Caesar brought in. "Anthony is by far the most worried. That's the problem.

"Deceive them, and say that the Senate has made an agreement with Dehemoth, and that they will not only shield Brutus and Cassius from fleeing to the provinces, but also recruit new legions to attack us, or we will avenge Caesar." "With a bit of bounty, it's no problem, we need a quick and sharp game. Break the backbone of young Caesar at once. ”

"What if we kill him?"

"That's even better, just to save trouble, directly to the soldier to his corpse, accusing the young Caesar of rebelling against his father's cause before his death."

Anthony couldn't help but nodded, and then he looked at Leo, Nunu's mouth, meaning you get out of here, and then he waved his hand again, and called a few centurions of his cronies to put Leo under supervision. He and Curio then walked over to the topographic table

"It's not a big problem here, but if you look at the country as a whole. What is Li Bida's movement now? Will he break through the narrow passages of Naipor and Liguria into southern Gaul to stir up trouble? After listening to Curio's tactical plan, Anthony expressed his approval, but also raised such questions.

"The spies and scouts have made it clear that the two wings of the troops left by Lybidaeus are stationed in the province of Naippo and the area of Aquitaine respectively to guard against our and the Spanish Pompey, and as far as I know, the Senate has issued an amnesty decree for him and the younger Pompey brothers at the same time, with the obvious purpose - to have Libida and the young Pompey slaughtered, and Octavian to be killed with us, so that the specially selected fathers can have the last laugh. Therefore, my judgment of Li Bida is that he will take the Seventh Army and the Twenty-eighth Army to Sardinia, fight to isolate Troureas and Pompey in Spain, cross the sea to Italy, fight for the Senate, and then wait for the end of the battle between Octavian and us. ”

"So what are you waiting for? We can join forces with Li Bida to kill Tellureas and Young Pompey, and then raze the Senate, so that all the murderers will be ruined, ruined, you know! The world is getting more and more lively, and I am so happy. Anthony shouted, and it was clear that the idea was right for him.

"But Tellureas has four legions in his hands, and the fleets and soldiers of Aquila, Malclous, and Maximus in Sicily will also reinforce him, and the young Pompey brothers and Rabinus also have fleets in their hands, and can raise five or six barbarian legions in Iberia in a short time, how long can Lipida support himself with these two legions, and why should we bet on him? Even if Li Bida can hold on to his base, the battle situation will at least be seen long later. Curio hurriedly dissuaded, and as he spoke, a strange and ugly smile appeared on his torn lips.

At this time, Antony also came to his senses, "So, Li Bida inadvertently acted as my shield, that is to say, now I will defeat the men and horses of the young Caesar in a short time, and then seize the whole of Mutina, no, the entire southern Gaul region, so as to collect the remaining elite of the young Caesar and Dehemoth, and my hands will soon be able to swell to eight or even ten legions, and then I will go south, control the whole of Italy, and do whatever I want." ”

"That's right, Marco, when the time comes, neither the rushing Rubicon nor the towering Surat Mountain will be able to become an obstacle to our progress, and we will smash it all with our hands raised."

In the port of Yar, about four hundred flat-bottomed transports, with nearly a hundred warships with decks and equipment, formed a very imposing procession, facing a sea of clouds dyed golden by the sun, and sailing with purple sails, sailing towards Sardinia, which was formed by Lybida gathering himself and all the elites of the three city-states of Liguria and Novo-Massella, with Adanguis, Macmillan, and Gable as commanders, and indeed carrying the Seventh Legion and the Twenty-Eighth Legion, as Curio had expected.

In the command room in the bridge tower, Gallius was asking about Lypida's strategy, "Are you so relieved that Vicintoli should guard Aquitidany and watch the Pyrenees Pass?" ”

"Of course, he is now the king of Averny, the most powerful city-state in Gaul, and his dream is to become the recognized king of all Gaul, but since Averny's defeat at the hands of Rome a hundred years ago, the hegemony has been ceded to the Adouis, but this does not mean that my adopted son-in-law has no chance-the Adoui climb Caesar, he can climb to me, and if the Spanish army invades Gaul, then he will be obliged, because that place is his own confiner. Just like General Itassos, he will do his best to protect the Ligurian borderlands. Li Bida squinted his eyes and slowly explained as he gestured to the model mountains, oceans and rivers on the map with his gold-plated baton.

"So you're only asking them to provide a team of minions?"

"Of course, what I urgently need now are cavalry and ships, for all my Matthia cavalry has been assigned to Saab and is on my way to Fort Lypida, and now Viccintoli has personally provided me with fifteen hundred Averni cavalry, and has brought in five hundred Trevelli cavalry, the best cavalry in all Gaul on the west bank of the Renus; In addition, I have hired eight hundred cavalry from the Supis of the Germanic lands at great expense, and as for the Ligurian city-states, which alone have provided me with half of the consignments, I have nothing to complain about—but I must take you with me, for you are the easiest and most likely to defect of all men. Like this, Li Bida said to Galius with a smile. (To be continued......)
