The husband who was sitting next to her didn't answer anything directly, "Yulia, everyone has the wisdom and means to survive in this troubled world, and they also have the luck to avoid disasters. As for the little pigeon, he was in a warehouse full of dead people, and he survived until the moment when I went to save him, and even a character like Heblida had plans, so you have to trust my good daughter - she won't be a lonely she-wolf like Adiana. ”

After saying that, the couple hugged and snuggled together on the shoulder seat a little sleepy, enjoying the warmth of the autumn sun, and slowly walked towards the city of Korduba.

In the end, the four legions left by Li Bida to pacify Spain were the 13th Legion, the 19th "Isthmus Legion", the 21st Legion sent by Antony, and the 27th Legion of Combano. In addition, after dismissing a part of the previously captured Spanish barbarian soldiers, Li Bida distributed the rest to the two outstanding Odax and Bratias in the previous battle, and personally carved out two territories in Iberia, so that they became the "Four-Divided Monarchs" together with Combano, so before leaving, in the city of Korduba, Li Bida and his wife Yulia set up a banquet to entertain all the generals who stayed behind or wanted to accompany the high priest to continue the expedition.

"I followed you in the Catiline Rebellion, and now you are my chief lieutenant, and after so many years of saddle horse fatigue, all the tasks have been accomplished perfectly. So I am the first to salute you with this wine. "On the feast. Li Bida sat around a large dining table with everyone. The couches were arranged in a centripetal fashion, and the first object of his toast was Peternius, a veteran who had always been in charge of strategy and logistics in strategic operations, and now in charge of the pacification of Spain, which was also considered a great achievement, and then the high priest asked him the question, "Then in the coming year." Would you like to be my second consul? ”

After this sentence came out, the generals and staff present began to show complicated expressions, you must know that there is no doubt about the position of the chief consul now, so his assistant, that is, the second consul, is the place where everyone is determined to win.

At this time, Petneus was very bland, as if he had seen through the ups and downs of life, and finished his drink, "I am close to sixty years old, and I will be this consul again." It will only make others laugh at my twilight and resentment of important positions. So if the High Priest still thinks I have the talent to command the legions. Appoint me governor of Lusitania, and I will guard the frontier for the high priest for a few more years. ”

When he heard this, the high priest was very moved, and he announced on the spot: Peternius will be the governor of Lusitania for the next five years, with the highest salary of all the governors, 500,000 ceses a year, and eight fascist servants who have been bound to open the way, and he also has the position of priest in the city of Rome, and his person is sacrosanct.

The old general expressed his sincere gratitude to the high priest for his generosity, and then he turned around and said to everyone intentionally, "In the future, the republic will not be a competition between two consuls and a few judicial officers, and so many high-ranking departments in the Executive Yuan will be places where talents can give full play to their strengths, and these new public offices will be much more glorious, more pragmatic, and longer than the original municipal officials and tribunes, and everyone will not have to spend their energy on the annual election in the future. Rather, it is to contribute to the country and the people in their duties with peace of mind. This sentence was obviously addressed to this group of generals who were eager to glorify the ranks, because Peternius deeply understood that because there was spoils of war during the conquest, everyone would do their best to achieve a goal, but it was rare that after the end of the conquest, there was a question about the rationing of the meritorious ones - so Peternius's words were very clear, that is, in the new system of official ranks set up by the high priest, everyone would have a suitable position, whether in the capital or in the locality.

"Let's work together for the republic!" Li Bida took the opportunity to raise his glasses as well, so everyone agreed, and the whole banquet soon entered a cheerful rhythm again, and the harp, drums, and dancing surrounded the people again.

"Immediately I took the legion of Leus and arrived first in Sardinia by sea, and then the rest of the legions, led by General Secutilius, marched from the Pyrenees along the coastline of Nepogall, and we endeavoured to assemble under the city of Rome in two months." In the music, Li Bida is accompanied by the deployment of military operations.

At this time, the commander of the Sixth Legion, Angandinus, with a certain look of displeasure, stood up, covered his chest and said to the High Priest Jianyì, "Your Excellency, the Sixth Legion is the army of your sons and daughters personally recruited by you and your wife in Sardinia, and it is the most trusted by you, not to mention that the temporary destination of your trip happens to be this island, if you follow this marching route, throw your children in Spain and Gaul, and go with the new legions recruited from Cyrene, This will undoubtedly cool down the enthusiasm and loyalty of the soldiers of the Sixth Legion. ”

Li Bida laughed and said Okay, I respect the Tiyì of Angandinus, and I will take my own Sixth Army with me on this voyage!

"For the glory of the High Priest, for the glory of King Numa!" A few days later, in the harbor of Osetani, ships with sails lined up, and the High Priest himself and his guards, to the shouts of more than 5,000 men of the "Massella" legion, boarded the deck of the vanguard ship and sailed towards Sardinia.

At the same time, in front of the harbor of Lilibal City, Leo stood on the dock, wrapped in a dark and rough cloak, with the sword-wielding Lusitanian Guard beside him, and in front of him was the provincial envoy Malclus, with the fleet commanders Macmillan and Maximus, the commander of the twin legions, Tellureas, and the director of naval engineering, Gable, "Ladies and gentlemen, I have to regret to inform you that you are not here to see me off, but to join me with my father at the Ophilenu estate in Sardinia. Discuss the mutiny of some of the previous Twin Legion's brigades. ”

Although Leo's words were very gentle, there was no doubt, and everyone present, especially Malclus, knew in their hearts that the muddy waters in this mutiny were extremely deep, and what kind of turmoil, no, even an earthquake, would the oath of the letter "JL" bring to the evidence of the whole country?

"Yes, we will all guarantee to make a true and valid oath in the presence of the High Priest!" Malclus, with the rest of the people, replied almost in unison.

"If that's the case, my father and I will be grateful." Leo smiled as he bared his white teeth. (To be continued......)
