Chapter 27: The Bridge of Pursuit (Part II)

"What honorary title is this person?" Rabinus knew that there were no formal and strict official positions in the Gallic tribes, and most of them were ruled by blood and glory.

Lesgus looked at Diviaci next to him, and his tone was even more hesitant, he only said that this figure did not have any conspicuous titles, but his power and prestige were great, and most of the Edui followed his advice, and he also had great power in money and private control, and before Caesar became governor of the province of Gaul, this man spread a dangerous opinion among the Eduis: "The Edui, who had always been a great tribe independent of Gaul, now humiliated at the feet of the dwarf Latins, Then even if the spineless Aedui could no longer dominate Gaul, they should accept the rule of another Gallic tribe instead of a foreign race, Rome. ”

Just when Rabinus was about to get angry, and then got to the bottom of it, Li Bida saw the nervousness and embarrassment of Diviachi's expression, and the other party's hand kept stroking the hilt of the gem-encrusted sword on his waist, and he looked very anxious, so he quietly whispered two words to Rabinus, and Rabinus sighed, and his tone to the two chiefs softened:

"I am the Acting Commander-in-Chief, and I am also in charge of the two important duties of the Garrison and Logistics, but I am ashamed that I have not been able to carry out the Governor's requirements perfectly, so I sincerely hope that the two of you will be able to do all your best to urge the collection of military rations." With that, Rabinus dissolved the council and sent the two chiefs back to their respective tents.

However, Libida stayed, and told Rabinus that the reason why he had been persuaded to be angry was because he had discovered that Deviaci was behaving strangely.

One who can preach dangerous rhetoric in the Republic Servant Tribe. There are also huge financial and military resources. It can't be a freeman in a tribe. It must also be a "relative of the imperial family", and this person should also be related to Diviatchi, otherwise it is impossible to explain the different performances of the two chiefs just now.

"In addition, this man may also have close ties to the Helvetians, and he is helping the Doge's enemies in disguise." Li Bida judged.

"You mean, you mean, he said that the Aedui should be ruled by another Gallic tribe?" ”

"That's right, another Gallic tribe. In the context of the present situation, who else but the Helvetians, the enemies of Rome, could there be! ”

Rabinus opened the tent door and summoned a capable confidential servant to investigate now: Is there a relative of the chief of Edui, Diviatchi, who is also close to the Helvetians?

It was not long before the secret slave went to the camp of Lesgus, and when he saw that Deviachi was not with him, he told the Romans the truth that Deviachi had a brother. Called Dunorex, and then Lesgus was reluctant to continue.

"You don't see the splendid armor of Deviachi, the jeweled sword. And expensive ornaments? Look at the simplicity and shabby nature of the other chieftain, Lesgus, as far as I know, both of whom are of noble origin, but the former is obviously much richer and more powerful than the latter, where does this Diviache's wealth come from? If I guessed correctly, it was his brother named Dunolex, and this man was the man as Lesgus called him. In the tent, Li Bida's tone was fierce, and he suggested that the chief lieutenant should act immediately, because he found out from the army roster that the commander of the two thousand auxiliary cavalry of Eduy was none other than Dunolex, who was fighting with Caesar at the moment, and it was no wonder that the barbarian cavalry of our legion had always been at a disadvantage in the battle against the Helvetians, because of the result of Dunolex secretly releasing water, if such a person was allowed to continue to make trouble in the crucial battle in the Santoni area, the army would suffer terrible losses.

Rabinus was evidently aware of the seriousness of the problem, for Caesar's army had been on the march for several days, "and the Edui have a large and rich market town called Bibrakd, and both sides of the war will certainly go there to obtain food, and as you say, the commander of the XII Legion, if Dunolex were to do something there, His Excellency would be in danger." ”

Under the flickering candlelight in the tent, Rabinus gritted his teeth and said to Lybida, "I will run the whole camp at once, and with the Twelve Legions, I will hurry across the bridge to the area of Santony to support and remind His Excellency the Governor, while you will take my servants and go directly to the camp of Diviaci, "Take him under control, and then take him to Santony, but be careful with measure, for even if his brother is a villain hostile to the Romans, Deviaci still loves Rome and is loyal to the Republic, esteemed Libidaus, Do you have the confidence to do this? ”

"Of course." As soon as he finished speaking, Li Bida and six fascist servants with sticks and axes walked through the corridor of the camp and directly into the camp of the Edui, where the sentry in charge of the guard stopped him, and Li Bida asked the interpreter to pass the order to the other side, "I have come to consult with the two chiefs of your department on the secret matter of moving the camp to fight on the order of Your Excellency the Governor and the Acting Commander of the Chief Adjutant General. ”

The sentinel hesitated, the rules of the Roman Republic, even if the servant tribe provided auxiliary troops, the middle and low-level chiefs were still the chieftains and nobles of the original tribe, but the supreme commander was still the Romans, but the two supreme chieftains of the headquarters were also here, and it was always unreasonable to be called by the Romans in the middle of the night. Just as the sentries were whispering and preparing to send someone to ask for instructions from Diviacchi and Lesgus, Lesgus appeared, followed by several soldiers with torches, bowed to Li Bida, and said, "I will take you to Diviaqi's camp to discuss the matter."

With the help of this person, Li Bida then drove straight in, and when he and the bundle stick appeared in front of Diviachi, the other party saw the cold and shining axe in the bundle stick, and was a little surprised and dissatisfied, so he complained to Li Bida and Lesgus, Am I not sincere enough to Rome? You must know that in this battle, I alone paid 400,000 cesdes, mobilized 2,000 cavalry to assist His Excellency the Governor, and I did not expect to see the axes of the fascists to punish the prisoners in my own tent.

"Terrible King Adoui, I have only come to inform Your Excellency that my brother has been suddenly seized in the area of Santony, and then His Excellency the Governor has sent an urgent letter asking the lieutenant General Rabinus to keep you under control as well, and we are still in the dark about the details." Li Bida's tone was very flat and polite, and then he stretched out his hand and asked the translator to convey the words to Diviage. (To be continued......)
