In the ditch under the new city of Merisus, a group of elders surrounded Tri Ali with a complicated expression, where Li Bida came with his guards, and the elders saluted the governor of Sardinia, "Tri Ali, you are really a lucky person, the goddess of fate is favoring you, Caesar's secret order has been issued, and you have been officially retained." As he spoke, he gave the smiling Tri Ali the board with Caesar's seal on it.

Since Merissus can be secretly pardoned, it is reasonable for him, who played a great role in the operation to kill little Cato, to obtain Caesar's real retention. Triari, however, did not dare to leave with him, fearing that he would be plotted by him on the way, so he treacherously demanded that he remain in the city of Merisus for another year, "for I am still in exile, and when the punishment is full, I will return to the city of Rome." ‘’

"Be careful, I advise you to stay as far away from Roman politics as possible, there are too many people there who want your life." Li Bida warned, and then turned his horse's head away from the newly erected scaffolding of the city wall.

When the figure of the general was gone, all the people present exhaled and hugged each other, and Triali was the most excited, and he declared to the new elders that I am the former tribune of the Republic, you know, second only to the consuls and the lawyers, as long as you treat me well for a year, and when I make a comeback, you will propose a plan to let the Republic grant you citizenship, and you will no longer have to look up to the snort of Liguria!

Everyone was thrilled and praised Tri Ali as the city's savior. Several of the elders also said with a flattering expression, "Merisu City wants to erect a statue for you in the Immortal Temple." Then the group pleaded with Tri Ali to see the temple's construction workshop. Triali didn't want to ruin the fun. I went with everyone.

In the workshop, there is a statue of a prime. But the appearance and figure were clearly revealed, and several elders bowed their waists and guided Tri Ali to his seat, Tri Ali was not a man who could appreciate art, but he also pretended to look at it for a while, but the more he looked at it, the more wrong it became, and he turned around and said, "This appearance seems to be wrong." It doesn't match mine at all. ”

"Really?" With a look of surprise, the elder also stepped forward to look at it, turned to Triali, and said, "That's right, this is the appearance of little Cato!" ”

Before Tri Ali could react, several "elders" quickly drew their swords against his chest and abdomen, pressed him against the statue's embryo, and then twitched back and forth a few times, Tri Ali's mouth was also covered, and he was killed very quickly. A sedan chair with a curtain flew in and his body was quickly stuffed in and pulled away. Then the elders dispersed. Leaving the workshop, as if nothing had happened, there was still a harmonious and monotonous jingle everywhere.

In the camp, looking at Li Bida, who was headed by Triari, he commanded: "Cut off your left hand and send it to Cato's house; The head was sent to the Palatine Hill to show Claudia and Frivia; In addition, Anthony wrote about 'how he forced little Cato to commit suicide during the siege' as Akuta and posted it in the main square. This is probably the only value of this person now, and there is no need to bear any responsibility for killing the exiled prisoner who has been deprived of his political powers—and sue the city of Merisus, and I can preside over the absolution of their city-state's indemnity. ”

Then, the next military measures after the capture of Massella began to be established, but in the eyes of Peternius, Paulus and others, this did not seem to need to be discussed, because the urgent document sent by Caesar was like snowflakes, requiring Li Bida to rush to Spain to strengthen his power after the military operation here.

"No, now there is a new situation, Caesar is a character who never gives up lightly." Li Bida obviously got the latest information, "After the rainy day was over, he did not let the soldiers count the losses, but left one of the strongest ten legions to contain the city of Elida, and the rest of the legions all cut down wood into boats, in the upper reaches of the Sikris River, avoided the attack of the Afranius stone bridge, and urgently built a pontoon bridge, and then all the legions quickly crossed, and when Afranius thought that Caesar was desperate, he asked the soldiers to dig several ditches thirty Roman feet wide, draining the water of the Sikris River, Turn it into a shallow beach that you can cross on foot. Now, Lord Caesar has opened a new supply route in the direction of Gaul in the new camp, restoring normal supplies! ”

Later, Li Bida stood up and said his new plan: Peternius led the fifteenth and sixteenth legions, carrying sufficient food, to Spain to aid Caesar, and once again form an advantage over Aphranius in the frontal battle; Itassos and the Ligurians remained in Masseria to stand by; As for me, with the six legions, a large number of ships were gathered, and I also rushed from Arl to Spain!

"But I'm going to the Temple of Mercury in the Hercules Circle and Lusitania, where there is a Viceroy Varro who can only write books and is on par with Cicero. Ladies and gentlemen, Caesar's greatest concern now is not whether Elida can defeat Aphranius, but to end the Spanish war as much as possible, so what he fears most is that Pompey's five legions will escape from Elida and organize a new line of defense to fight him for a long time. When Lybida said this, Peternius understood something, and the lieutenant had always been very cautious in his words and deeds after he had been put under Lybida's account, and this time he spoke in time: "That is to say, there are two barriers in Spain, one is the Pyrenees, and the other is the Eporo River after Taraco, and Aphranius's plan is to retreat to the Eporo River and continue to resist with natural dangers, waiting for Pompey's arrival." ”

"That's right, as long as we capture Lusitania, we can go north and advance north and south with Caesar's main force, forcing Aphranius from behind, and making his danger to death!" Li Bida said proudly, "In addition, to accomplish such a feat, we have two key figures, one is my confidential officer Saab Kemus, who is from the city of Gacheng, Italy, and is familiar with the local geography, so it is very suitable to act as a guide for our army." And the other one, which is a character I reserved in Lusitania back then, a big Malaysian bandit Cambano! If nothing else, he's already in Lusitania! (To be continued......)
