"After three glasses of wine, the wise guest should take his leave and go home." - The ancient Greek playwright Ebius

Just half a day before the mutiny, Caesar was still in front of the immortal temple in the city of Marcelia, and led many generals and officials to hang the coffin of Cato the Younger, and asked to transport it back to the cemetery of Rome for burial.

"I will never be able to defeat Cato Jr., because he chose to die unyieldingly, and he defeated me forever in spirit and position."

As soon as the words fell, the token officers of the fifteenth and sixteenth legions of Li Bida ran to the deserted square, and then the ten legions also came, Caesar's face changed suddenly, and he quickly gathered his subordinates, and the chief centurion of each legion, because they were directly in charge of military discipline, and rode without any lingering, and quickly left the city of Marcelia, and headed towards the town of Pinocencha, preparing to dispel the grievances of the soldiers along the way.

The first to gallop to the barracks of Li Bida, when the chief lieutenant was in the joint camp with the Sixth Legion, heard that Caesar was ten miles away, he immediately lifted the blanket and cloak from the couch, and ran out like a fly, and told Sabo and the centurion on duty to immediately announce the cancellation of the curfew of all soldiers, and they could walk around the barracks at will, because the Sixth Legion did not show any sign of mutiny at all under his control, and the Fifteenth and Sixteenth also stopped in half a day. But Li Bida is very shrewd, he can't let Caesar lose confidence in himself, but he can't make the other party wary. "If this time even Caesar's Ten Legions are in a commotion. If all three of my legions don't fly. What would Caesar think of me? ”

So when Caesar rode to the camp of the Sixth Legion, the soldiers shouted and walked around, and summoned the chief lieutenant general Li Bida from the centurion who was about to shout and curse in front of the tower, but was quickly stopped by Caesar in the face of the cold, and then Caesar asked the centurion who was full of foul words and discipline, "What is your chief lieutenant doing in the camp?" ”

As soon as the centurion saw Caesar wearing his iconic cloak, he knew that this was His Excellency the Consul, and he would blow it when he wrote his memoirs later. Immediately, he replied excitedly and unabashedly: "The chief lieutenant general supervises our legion, and he said earlier that he was tired of sorting out the accounts, so he found an excuse to push off the mission of hanging that and slept in the camp tent!" ”

"Could it be that the access control is abolished like this, and it doesn't matter if the soldiers are allowed to walk around!" Caesar looked very angry, and straightened his face, so frightened that the centurion suddenly felt that he had lost his words, and trembled, and hurriedly justified, "The reason why the soldiers are running around is because of the commotion of the marching regiment in front of them." The soldiers' hearts were also in turmoil. ”

"Hmm" Caesar's face immediately softened, and then he saw it in the passage of the main entrance of the camp. Li Bida looked disheveled, very panicked with his servants on horseback, carrying horns and flags, after seeing Caesar, Li Bida shouted, "It is said that the army in front has mutinied, and sure enough, what should I do today!" ”

"First of all, put your legion in town, I believe the source is not here, but in the Ninth Legion in the town of Pinocencha." Caesar replied quickly.

So, Li Bida was in front of him, pretending to spend half a day, pacifying the sixth, fifteenth and sixteenth legions, Caesar was stationed outside the camp gate to watch, in the face of the expected mutiny, he did not seem to have the original urgency and panic, "what should have happened still happened", this is probably Caesar's heart, "It's okay, take this opportunity to rectify military discipline and re-ask the soldiers to swear allegiance!" ”

Finally, seeing this scene, Caesar had an indescribable peace of mind at the chief lieutenant, although it took some time but it was worth it, when the three legions subsided, Caesar immediately asked Li Bida to elect their respective chief brigades, and then came to the camp of the Tenth Legion in the evening, when many soldiers were making a lot of noise, Caesar dismounted at the main gate, and the soldiers of the brigade brought behind them lined up to fight, and the spirit of slaughter was everywhere, and then Caesar did not say a word, in front of the centurion and soldiers of the Tenth Legion, He took off his cloak and armor, put on his undershirt, and lay down in front of more than 10,000 soldiers with a golden sword, and then he cried out: "If you want to raise the eagle banner and abandon the consuls and the camp, then there are only two options left, one is that you all go out through the back door, and that is to admit your guilt, for only the soldiers who have violated military discipline will go out from there; One came out of the front, yes—stepping on me, Julius. Caesar's body walks over!"

Is that okay? Li Bida was dumbfounded, and he really didn't know whether to say that this Julius was a sincere man or a pure scoundrel.

"Could it be that our Tenth Legion is the team that will cross over with the Archon lying under his crotch?" After a period of silence, the situation immediately changed abruptly, and many soldiers who were still noisy just now and wanted to propose all kinds of tricks and conditions began to be heartbroken, ashamed of their arrogance, and fell down on their knees, after all, they were abandoned by Pompey in the Eastern Battlefield, thanks to Caesar's containment to achieve today, so they are also the most loyal to Caesar, seeing this desolate lying at the door of their camp, they can't stand anything.

In this way, in less than half an hour, the mutiny of the Tenth Legion was resolved, and Caesar hurriedly called the chief brigade of the Tenth Legion to follow him, and continued to the camp of the Eighth Legion.

The Eighth Legion was originally lacking in confidence, when he saw the consul coming with four brigades, his legs and stomach were shaking immediately, and at this time Caesar did not play the trick of lying down again, but took the guards with a fierce attitude, and made a speech to all the soldiers, saying, "You are not a recruit legion, but now you are being instigated, this is really a great shame, don't let me have a feeling of distrust of your legion, in the future, when charging into battle, I feel that the Eighth Legion still needs to be considered, in that case, How would the commander who has led you for so many years, General Gobale, feel? After saying this, and seeing the flags of the four brigades outside, the officers and men of the Eighth Army knew that this mutiny was destined to be suppressed, and they all rushed to give in, and the centurion shouted to report the name of the soldier who was the first to make trouble, and asked the consul to continue to trust the Eighth Army in the future, and many began to curse and scuffle with each other, and the whole scene was almost out of control.

"No one will be truly punished, but the centurion who is on duty today, and the chief centurion of the entire legion, must be whipped and set an example in public!" In Caesar's stern tone, he actually exonerated the sins of the Eighth Legion.

The soldiers regrouped and stretched out their hands together to express their great remorse, and then Caesar demanded that they swear allegiance, and said that the bounty would be paid in the next three months, and the soldiers all expressed their sincerity and wished to continue fighting under the consul - "It seems that Pinocencha's Nine Legions are really losing their skin this time, and what a clever tactic Caesar has been in attack!" Li Bida guessed with certainty. (To be continued......)
