Who wants Caesar to shrug his shoulders and say that you only need to guarantee that Egypt and Cyprus can provide us with sustainment and money, that place in Britannia can just declare military power and let the citizens of the republic fall into some kind of fanaticism, but in fact that place is so poor that I have no great interest in it, and maybe it can be used to create an imaginary enemy when the Senate questions my war, poor pity, I heard that the people of that place mainly drink milk, how dirty and backward!

"Oh, I see." Li Bida did not expect that the earliest Britannia would be like this in the eyes of the Romans.

Leave him alone, anyway, I can get out and go to Egypt and take back my inheritance. Li Bida, who quickly returned to his house, wrote a letter to the legion still in Besançon, asking Milou, Pope, and Little Hortensius to temporarily manage the legion, and Tagus, Sabo, and Dussonvier took a thousand-man infantry brigade and a subsidiary cavalry brigade to the village of Lussel to get it, and then Cassiio also used means to let Quinnus go to be the default commander of the 14th Army (still recruiting), and he took the first step and went to the port of Aquileia (adjacent to present-day Venice) to take over the fleet and prepare supplies for the expedition.

Three days later, Li Bida kissed the slaves at home one by one at the gate of the Lusail Manor, "Please!" Then he hugged and kissed the children warmly, "Let the children be educated, whether it is little Leo or Corinna, they must quickly master the ability to write, and they can tell Corinna that she has a husband in the future, who is now four years old, and is changing her diapers on the Cow Head Street in Palatine Hill, Rome City!" ”

When he walked in front of Yulia, Li Bida shook it slightly, and the other party turned his face sideways. Leave the cheeks to the new husband. Then he asked, "Let's stay here." Is it equivalent to becoming a hostage of Caesar, so that you will inevitably come back when you go to Egypt? ”

"Don't you want it to be okay, Caesar won't be like this, and take on the duties of the hostess." Li Bida kissed Yulia's cheeks on both sides and asked.

Afterwards, Li Bida stepped on horseback with Tagus, Petneus and others, waved goodbye to the cheers of the crowd, and then all the trumpets were played by the thousand-strong brigade of the Twelfth Legion. As for the Illyrian Thirteenth Legion, only one flag-bearer and one trumpeter beside Peterniusma, both recruited improvised around Roussel, walked staggeringly with a scarlet splendid lion flag.

Lipida needed to recruit troops in Milan and Aquileia before he could cross the sea to Egypt with them.

In order to complete this as soon as possible, Li Bida immediately spread the news that the new knight of Etrunia (under the wing of Li Pida, Kaimais quickly accumulated nearly a million Sesdeus fortunes, and wore a gold ring on his right hand, becoming a knight) Kaimais. Go to the settlements of Etrunia up to the Campeña region and recruit veterans from five hundred to a thousand Pompey. This was not difficult, and many of them, when they had been given a large amount of fertile resettlement in advance, had signed a contract with the committee to which Crassus and Lybida belonged: they had the duty to fulfill their obligations if they needed to.

There were also a few people, all of them were recruited idle people from around the area, probably more than a thousand people were also put together, and Li Bida led them to the port of Aquileia, ready to board the ship and set off.

Because of these two thousand people, it is enough to form several infantry brigades, and the most important thing left is the auxiliary troops, after the baptism of Lusitania and Gaul, Li Bida believes that the weakness of the Roman legion is the lack of powerful auxiliary soldiers, once the powerful ballista, cavalry and projectile and the legion's solid infantry and fortifications are carried forward, then the Roman legion is really invincible.

But in this area, there is only the existence of dense phalanx soldiers, whether it is the sword and shield system of the Romans, or the copycat Greek heavy infantry system of the Etruns earlier, or the rough phalanx of the Gauls, anyway, there is no long-range projection that Li Pida wants to get, even the 800 Vibichinas who followed, it is only in his half-forced and semi-persuasive way that he uses the new tactics of dismounting and shooting, chasing on horseback, and cooperating with infantry combat. In the classical era, perhaps what was most lacking was not the limitation of techniques, but the rejection and numbness of new techniques.

Therefore, when it came to the surplus money for recruitment, Li Bida hid part of it privately, and allocated part of it to the soldiers' committee, determined not to continue recruiting in this area for the time being, and he wanted to go to the east to try his luck.

No sooner had the barracks of Aquileia been set up than Ptolemy XII arrived with his whole swagger, and Yulia had said that her husband's two thousand talents were welded on the pharaoh's body, and sooner or later they would melt away like summer ice. The pharaoh sat on a huge gilded sedan chariot carried by sixteen men, behind which were the smaller chariots of his daughter and concubines, in the front were dozens of black slaves dressed in embroidered gold silk with feather fans and portraits, flanked by twenty dead men on horseback with the handle of "golden apples" in imitation of the Persian monarchs, and behind the sedan chairs were dozens of small wheeled shrines (full of spices, precious stones, and streamers) dedicated to the gods of the Ptolemaic royal family, as well as the numerous indigenous gods of Upper and Lower Egypt. Behind the top are all kinds of court maids smeared with precious spices

"It's a moving luxury palace." Li Bida, who was standing outside the barracks to greet ten stadias, couldn't help but sigh when he saw this lineup.

"I must warn you, Your Excellency, that you may call an engineer from the barracks, and let Pharaoh and his concubines stop and set up camp for them, otherwise this pomp will seriously damage our morale. Our army is originally full of new recruits" Before Sabo's suggestion was finished, Peternius over there let out a loud cry of envy, which made the young staff officer very unhappy.

At this time, out of the ranks of the pharaohs came a big man, clearly dressed as a legion, with a helmet with multicolored horsehair, a bell-shaped cuirass, a decent silver ornament, shin armor, and the biggest difference between a centurion and a soldier - a strap around the shoulders and armpits, on which the fighting sword was hung, while the ordinary soldier was tied to a belt, and ran straight towards the hillside where Li Bida was stationed, which was obviously the in-laws of the commander of the Restoration Army, "the eternal low-rank Highbrida".

"Hebrida, the former non-commissioned officer who stayed behind in the city fortress, requests to return to the team, Your Excellency Commander." Hebrida, who was standing straight in front of her horse, stretched out her hand and saluted.

"Run ten Stadia forward, go to the barracks and put on the chief centurion emblem, Hybrida!" After the other party ran away from the hill in high spirits, Li Bida whispered to Peternius, "He is also my in-laws, but don't give in to me because of my relationship." (To be continued......)
