"Yes, there will always be some 'professional' soldiers, so I will secretly replenish some men for the Sixth Legion and the Twenty-seventh Legion......," Li Bida said very secretly, and then he flicked his fingers twice and said to Sabo, "I will leave this matter to you, recruit six hundred people, but remember, even veterans have a gap, I want to be of moderate stature, look simple, obedient to discipline, satisfied with the current salary, don't recruit those gamblers and drunkards." ”

Sabo was ordered to leave, and only Li Bida and Milu were left in the camp tent, so the two began to chat, "After leaving the legion, is it still customary to stay in the camp as a veteran and non-commissioned officer?" ”

"What's not used to, staying by the side of the consul as a guard, the security is much higher, until the end of the road, I don't need to personally carry a sword to fight, and the salary is twice that of an ordinary centurion, there is nothing to complain about." Milou replied easily, "But Calabis you are getting more and more advanced now, according to my calculations, you have several legions of troops at your disposal now, right?" Six Corps, Twenty-seventh Legion, Twelfth and Thirteenth, Fifteenth and Sixteenth. ”

"You forgot it, the Eleventh Legion was also brought out by me, in the Bosphorus, but now the relationship with this legion is estranged, and Apis has also joined the hostile camp, so the combat effectiveness of this legion has not improved, and now in the province of Illyria, sooner or later it will be defeated by Pompey's legion in Macedonia." After judging, Li Bida and Mi Lu both laughed.

At this time, an officer who had given the order hurriedly walked into the camp tent and took out a secret order from the box, and Li Bida took it. It turned out to be from Aquiano. And the news is very strong: the barbarian Venettes, who were temporarily subservient to Caesar. Formally accepting Pompey's distant bribes, these Gallic barbarians, who had always been impulsive, happened to have a gap in obtaining information, that is, when they learned that Caesar had suffered a crushing defeat at Ilelda, they immediately killed the Roman soldiers and officials who had come to collect food, declared a rebellion, and when Caesar reversed the situation and pacified Spain, they felt that they had already rebelled. At this time, it was really lacking the necessary virtue and glory of the tribe, so he resolutely continued to persevere, and contacted the Pictish barbarian allies throughout Brittia and Britain, and officially prepared to cross the Royal River and approach the city of Orleans, the hub west of the entire Alps.

Li Bida was so absorbed that he didn't even notice Milou saying goodbye to him, and then he spread out the map that had been carefully drawn in Rome beforehand, and slowly figured out the geographical location of the Venettes, Caesar's lieutenant general. That is, Dehemoth, who was still in command of the army in Syria, led the navy to defeat the Venets. And in the "Akuta", which Caesar himself narrated and presented to the Senate, the Venettes were openly called barbarians, who could use ruthless means. In addition, Caesar also described the tribe's specialty: they were good at sea warfare, and their ships were very distinctive, strong, large, and light, and they were not to be underestimated as a barbarian tribe of the sea.

After groaning, Li Bida felt that the time had come to use the power of Vice Admiral Xi, he summoned Galius, Combano, and Vicintoli, and then recounted the situation of the new life straight to the point, and then pointed his finger at Vicintoli, and the other party was also obviously eager to try, "I will put all six hundred veterans into the twenty-seventh legion, plus the seven legions, and send them to Orleans to assist you in driving out the invasion of the Venettes." But I will not be in the provinces of Gaul, because the war between Greece and Africa is raging at the moment. ”

"Two legions, plus my Alveni tribe, are enough to quell the rebellion of the Venettes." Viccintoli said confidently.

"Don't despise the enemy, the commander of the other two legions, I hope you can put yourself in the right position, now the seventh legion because the original commander Tellureas has a new responsibility, through Caesar's will, let Galius assume the new commander position, he is the commander of the battle, and you and your clan are auxiliary armies." Li Bida's tone suddenly became rapid and stern, but in the eyes of everyone present, he didn't feel anything unusual, because Plotch was barely Li Bida's adopted daughter, so Vicintoli, who married this woman, can be regarded as the other party's son-in-law and adopted son, "In addition, my other adopted son Paluma will enter the army and serve as a military tribune, you have to strictly supervise him, and mobilize the entire clan to provide logistics for the army." ”

Sure enough, Viccintoli replied cheerfully, "This is natural, the whole Alveni tribe is your Krion disciple." ”

In a small farm fifteen miles outside the camp, when Vicintoli and his two legions had already set up, and Caesar, who had presided over the tour of Corduba, began his journey, in the bright evening sun, Marcus . Varro was sitting in front of the orchard, explaining how the slaves had obtained the bees, because they happened to find an empty beehive on the side of the road on the farm.

It happened that Li Bida was patrolling with Hu Cong, and he had just passed by this place, so he ordered Hu Cong not to be disturbed, and he got off his horse, looked at the back of old Varro through the fence, and listened.

"You must know that honey is a sacrifice that both men and gods like to drink, and that the little bees, like us, are creatures with a state, and they have kings, governments, and social organizations, and they are very fond of cleanliness, and do not tolerate filth and filth—yes, their country seems to be stronger than ours in this respect. According to the principles of agriculture, bees can be obtained from the carcass of a bull, we can lock a sturdy bull of thirty months old into a house, kill it with an iron rod, and then seal the doors and windows with thick mud, and when the three bazaars come in later, the carcass of the bull melts away, and in its place is the whole house of bees, so in the Roman vocabulary, bees are also called 'cattle eaters'. Varro gasped and finished the knowledge in fits and starts, and the slaves widened their eyes and wrote down the scroll in great detail, before one of the youngest asked, "Shall we do the same now, and let the bees fill this hive again?" ”

Varohaha laughed, and then, in an old and hoarse tone, looked at the sunset, and then at the stupid young slave, and said, "A method is a method, but no farmer in this world would be so stupid as to kill a bull of much greater wealth in order to drink some honey wine—this is what I want to tell you, agriculture is the science of calculating giving and recycling, like commerce." ”

Then he laid the ash hive to the ground, and said in a sad and resolute tone, "This kingdom of bees has perished, and don't expect it to be revived." (To be continued......)
