Antony's daughters settled at Villa Prima, Octavian assumed the position of acting chancellor, and the six and twelve legions, who had received orders, were rapidly assembling towards the city of Rome, and the senate and Octavian ordered that the six legions must assemble on the outskirts of the city within three days and the twelve legions within five days.

As for poor Gaius, he first ran to the camp of the Sixth Legion, he asked to see the commander Angandinus, but the other party refused to see him, when he bribed the sentry, Angandinus reluctantly saw him, but the other party did not want to say more about the core problem at all, only said that he was ordered to move to the tun, "But my brother is the governor of Macedonia, and he is also your immediate boss." ”

"Things have changed now, haven't they? The Senate's urgent edict has long since reached me, and the dust has not yet settled on Antony's disposition, so my legion is now under the command of two consuls - yes, Gaius, you know, that it is my best effort to keep quiet when you meet with me. ”

After saying that, Gaius was quietly "gifted" out of the camp by Angandinus, and if there was a slight delay, he feared that Gaius would risk his life.

Gaius, who had no choice but to spend some money and hire a horse, ran towards the streets west of Brindi, and the next day he saw the camp of the Twelfth Legion, but Callernus was even more unkind, and directly called the centurion on duty to arrest and imprison him, stuff him in a mule cart, and march with everyone, on the grounds that "the chief justice's escape from the capital without permission is a very severe dereliction of duty."

"I'm not the chief justice officer anymore, you soldiers have been deceived, why would the Senate use your young Caesar, who is armed with no roots? It was a treacherous ploy by them to instigate a civil war between the two sides, and the Chosen Fathers were constantly trying to make Caesar's men kill each other. So Anthony repented. He told me to risk my life to persuade everyone. Caesar's party should unite, Antony has already learned his mistake, he does not want others to continue to make his mistakes, and when we all fall before the sword of our comrades, it will be the Senate that will reap the benefits of the fisherman. Gaius nestled in the prisoner's wagon, shouting to the centurions and soldiers around him until his voice became hoarse. But he turned his head to see that the city of Rome was getting closer and closer on the road ahead.

By the time the two legions had arrived at Mars' campus, Antony's irrational reply had been delivered to the Temple of Concord, which, as Cicero had expected, was filled with violent accusations and implicated his personal grudge against Cicero in the political position of the entire army.

Cicero triumphantly read his letter to everyone at a meeting of the Senate, "I am very surprised (Cicero reads the insulting words in it), and you say that Caesar is a king and a tyrant all day long. Don't you understand that the beeping Cicero is? When Caesar was in the war, he once controlled Cicero's life. But he forgave the beep, and now Cicero took revenge, and instead of helping Caesar's friends, he shielded Caesar's enemies all day long. That beepping Dehemoth is an example, wasn't it Dehemoth who tricked Caesar out and murdered him? When Dehemos was a member of Caesar's party, Cicero attacked and hated him all day long, but now when Dehemos became a murderer, Cicero beeped and sheltered him all day long. Yes, it was because of Dehemos's opposition to Caesar that Cicero loved him and was eager to lick his beep, and now upon the news of this, the soldiers of the five legions were particularly angry, and I myself was determined to make fun of this unjustified beep by any means, including the march into Rome. ”

As soon as this insulting remark was read, the Senate declared Antony an enemy of the Republic by an overwhelming majority, and that his legions must surrender and defect from the moment the order was issued, or else be punished as an enemy of the Republic.

At the same time, however, the Senate also made an appointment and formally appointed Brutus as governor of Macedonia instead of Dehemos and Antony; And Cassiio was the governor of Crete.

Octavian was furious, believing that the Senate was indeed taking advantage of Caesar's infighting to protect the murderer, and he stood in the courtyard of Cicero's house, constantly begging the "teacher" to give him an explanation, or a reasonable solution.

"I will call the Senate at once, hang your portrait in the synagogue, and advance your seat to the first three rows, and you will be able to attain the glory of a very young person worthy of a retired consul and an inquisitor." Cicero sat down on the couch with a smile of joy, unaware of the "student's" thoughts, and grinned with relief.

Young Caesar, who was opposite him, immediately showed a look of extreme satisfaction, and then hurriedly thanked Cicero.

After leaving Cicero's mansion and returning to the hall of the Executive Yuan, Octavian sat down in a circle chair sullenly and said to Agrippa, Juba the Younger, and Mecenas, "The Senate, including Cicero, is full of damned people, and they will not stop provoking and mutilating us, and now this group of people is naïve to think that these two legions have become a state, that is not good, these two legions are mine, and they are the backbone of my revenge for my adoptive father." Then he handed Agrippa a blank paperwork, "Tomorrow I will go to the Mars Colonel to review the Sixth and Twelfth Legions, and the speeches will be troublesome to you." ”

At this time, Mecenas, who was standing further behind, stared intently at Octavian's back, yes, Octavian's speech and writing skills were actually very poor, and he usually gave his manuscripts to Leo or Agrippa to ghostwrite.

The next day, in front of the Temple of the God of War, the masked priest stood in front of the sacrificial oxen, while the butcher behind him, armed with a stick and a sharp blade, asked the priest according to the ritual, "Is it okay?" ”

"It's time to give it to God." The priests nodded, and then the cow screamed, and the blood splattered to the ground, and the blood-stained Octavian, after finishing his prayer, turned to all the soldiers who were standing there, "Fellow soldiers, I have these honors because of your merits. In the same way, I have the right to command you because of your gifts. ”

As a result, the soldiers of the two regiments below, holding their flags, stood in their respective battalions, and no one should speak to him, nor did any expression of excitement, which was clearly evident even if Octavian had not actually commanded the troops before—this group of Qiuba had no intention of convincing him at all, and they only stood here reluctantly, with ceremonial respect, and only respect.

In the wind, Octavian became a little nervous, his voice began to become unsteady, and the following language stammered, "You know, I am grateful to you for these things, please believe this, yes, I am grateful, and when our cause is successful, I will be even more grateful to you." ”

But the soldiers of the two legions still did not move.

In embarrassment, Mecenas whispered beside him, "Say the promise of reward." (To be continued......)
