Then, Li Bida put on a blue wool cloak, put on a gilded helmet, on which were colorful and bright feathers, surrounded by many servants and generals, and walked to the high platform outside the tower, where ballistas and stick throwers were laid to control the walls and docks of the entire port of Brindisi, it happened to overlook the square below, and the camp outside the city, and at this moment, Li Bida saw the wooden towers, camps, fences, and passages that stretched along the walls of the entire city. The smoke from the cooking smoke lit by the soldiers was like flowing clouds, everywhere were patrolling cavalry on duty, javelins and shields arranged on wooden fences and weapon racks, like neat rows of bushes, and the ships moored in the bay were high walls on the water, and all the centurions of the four legions he had in his hands now, exactly two hundred and forty men, all stood at the bottom of the tower, but it was not only these people, all the remaining veterans and elite soldiers under it, together there were about a thousand people, all ready to listen to Li Bida's speech, "Where are you taking us, former cavalry commander?"

In front of everyone, the first thing Li Bida said when he held the battlements was "Isn't Caesar merciful enough!?" ”

"Brutus, Cassillo, and other ugly creatures, couldn't Caesar have been able to kill them with a finger at will? Let me now enumerate these very convincing things: Brutus and Cassiio were captured by Caesar on the sea outside Ephesus, and he forgave them; Spinzer was unable to breathe because he had previously been saddled with a debt of 40 million Cestrius, and his political career was coming to an end, and it was Caesar who generously helped him pay off all his debts. so that this bastard can continue to eat in the synagogue like a human; Casca. Yes. Casca, who had previously served as governor of the province for nothing and had wantonly plundered the people, was prosecuted three times after leaving office, each time Caesar used all kinds of power to help him out of the quagmire; Aetius, who had previously publicly cursed Crassus when he set out on his expedition, led Crassus to die in the desert, and many of the soldiers of the Legion were disgraced in a foreign land. Is it not because of the leniency of His Excellency Caesar that such a person, such a man with sinister intentions who wantonly attacks the country and the army, can continue to talk nonsense and do whatever he wants in the meeting place of the senators? Many of the murderers will use such words to deceive the ignorant people, saying that Caesar is a king and a tyrant, but can this kind of talk deceive us, we have fought with Caesar for many years, and Caesar eats and lives with us on the battlefield. They lived in tents together, and they slept together on the march in the wilderness. He never called any of us 'soldiers', but 'friends' and 'comrades', and in the midst of his civil war, he never killed any person at will because of personal grudges or hostilities, and when he knew that some of the soldiers in the legion were not from good families, he would pay for them himself, or mobilize those who were well-off to help them, and the soldiers asked themselves, have not all of you ever received his favor? After speaking, Li Bida waved his hand, "I, like everyone else, am a soldier, and the concept of a soldier is very simple, don't be ungrateful, you must have a beginning and an end." I remember that when I was on the banks of the Rubicon, Caesar's legionnaires had sworn a collective oath that they would follow Caesar to the ends of the earth in order to wash away the disgrace of his commander-in-chief, but now I will say that Caesar had long since turned into a cold corpse, the victim of a despicable assassination, and fell to the synagogue, and he died unguarded, because all the people who killed him were man-eating beasts that he regarded as friends and children! Speaking of this, in front of everyone, Li Bida tore off the buttons of his cloak, grabbed his chest, and shouted angrily, "I really want to cut open the chests of these man-eating beasts now to see how their hearts grow!" ”

"Kill all the beasts, avenge the death of the dictator, whether we chase us to the ends of the earth, we will also fulfill the promise we made on the banks of the Rubicon!" Polo, the chief centurion of the Thirteenth Legion, was the first to take the lead in shouting, and then everyone should follow this slogan, like a raging wave.

"Perhaps at this time, the Senate will be afraid of us, and will send some judge to come and make all sorts of empty promises to stop us, but soldiers, please keep away from this ridiculous and humble obstacle! We will not stop until the murderers have been punished severely, but on the contrary, as soon as the murderers are brought to justice, we will immediately lay down our arms again and return to our respective places of settlement in peace. This was Li Bida's request, so the next day, the flag bearers of the four legions, holding high the emblems of their respective legions, walked in the first column on the embankment outside the city of Brindisi, and behind them was an endless marching procession of elite soldiers, cavalry, brigade infantry, ballistas, baggage vehicles, and military slaves, and their destination was only one, and that was the city of Rome.

A few lightly armed scout cavalrymen galloped on the periphery, and Li Bida gave these people the order, "Tell the towns along the way to give up resistance and provide food and straw for our army, and the other officer will make a quick detour to the city of Mutina, and tell my guardian to young Caesar, and tell him to wait for the arrival of our main army before launching an attack on Antony." ”

After arranging this qiē, the corners of Li Bida's mouth, who was pulling the reins, appeared again.

A qiē is in the 榖.

Halfway through, Maluas sat down in the car and staggered down the street, until he saw several scout cavalrymen hurrying in under the shadow of the poplar trees on the side of the road, all wearing thyme petals, which were the signs that Li Pida's subordinates liked to put up on him, so he hurriedly asked one of the cavalrymen to stop and ask him what was going on in Brindisi.

"The former cavalry commander, His Excellency Liberdaus, decided to rely on the strength of the legion to avenge the death of His Excellency Caesar, and urged the Senate to do everything possible to issue a resolution on the murderer." The cavalryman replied without expression, apparently knowing these things by heart beforehand.

"But the Senate, having reached a resolution at the initiative of His Excellency Cicero, is about to issue an edict on the murderer, and this time I have sent a contemptible person to hope that you will stop and wait for the public opinion of the Temple of Concord." Ma Luras was so anxious that he said.

"We can't wait." When the horseman said this, he raised his whip and threw him on the side of the road, so that he ate his mouth full of dust and fell into a daze.

"Let's go back first, it seems that Li Bida's anger is very loud, I will go to see him, I am afraid that he will directly meet the same fate as Aquila and be killed." Without thinking much about it, Marulas gave the order to turn, and later decided that it was not possible to return to Rome, so he simply took off his robe and fled to the manor villa of Lucania, where he hid and never cared about political affairs.
