Chapter 28: Dunolex (Part II)

Just when Caesar frowned violently, and before he could carefully judge the truth of Li Bida's statement on this matter, the herald outside hurriedly came in and reported the military situation outside to Caesar.

It was a long time before he sighed and said, "The Aedui have always been the scout cavalry in the vanguard, and it turns out that I have been misled by these hateful fellows for so many days!" ”

After patting the clipboard vigorously, Caesar asked the two of them, did Diviache stay at the camp in the Ara River, or did he come with the two of you? Rabinus said that it was in a tent somewhere that Caesar, furious, wanted to summon the fascist men with axes, and grabbed the brothers in public, cut off their heads, and "warn these shameless brutes in trousers."

Who would have thought that Rabinus would calmly say no, (he had already reached a tacit agreement with Li Pida), as soon as he heard the words of the chief lieutenant, Caesar immediately suppressed his anger, "That's right, killing Deviachi is equivalent to losing the assistance of the entire Aedui tribe, and it will also arouse the suspicion of other servants, and this place is close to their territory, and it can't be ruined because of a momentary anger." ”

Seeing that His Excellency the Governor had come to his senses, Li Bida said, "Actually, we can take advantage of this matter in reverse. ”

On the podium of the large square of the camp, the governor of Gaul, Julius. Caesar began to speak in the midst of a loud crowd, first thanking the legions for their heroic performance in the battle of the Ara some time ago, and then praising the eleventh legions, which had been roaming the outer lines, "Although I have not yet met Appis, I will step on the corpses of the whole Helvetian clan in the future." Walk through the Santoni area. Find him further north. And he placed a crown of pure gold on his head in recognition of his toil and perseverance during this time, and he succeeded in blocking the enemy's path. ”

Then the tribunes, centurions, and soldiers began to clamoring loudly, and many of them were not interested in Caesar's account of his exploits, but only asked when the next supply day would officially come, for the news of the "running out of food" was now spreading throughout the barracks.

But the lack of food is nothing, and the lack of military pay is nothing. Li Bida remembered that when he was in Lusitania, Caesar borrowed money directly from the lieutenant generals, tribunes, and centurions, and then distributed it to ordinary soldiers, and this lack of food could not stop him from continuing to fool around, "My dear children, please allow me to call you so, for I have long regarded you as my dearest relatives, and the temporary food shortage has been completely resolved, and the food and meat that the Aedui have sent enough to sustain us for six supply days (i.e., three months) of war are on the way. It can be reached in four or five days at most. And then," Caesar said, and took him by the hand very affectionately. With an embarrassed smile on his face, and Reax with a real smile, he stepped forward and said, "This is the most beloved Divi of the Adoui tribe, and my dearest trouser friend, oh, in three years he will be my robed friend, and I will send him to the Roman Senate." Let him tell you, and the food will be settled soon. ”

Amid the howls and doubts of the soldiers, Devi Archie tried to keep his composure, and Li Bida behind him kept muttering: "Your Excellency, think of the sharp fascists, think of your beloved brother in the audience, don't say anything superfluous, don't say anything excessive." ”

"I have full confidence in Your Excellency the Doge, and I assure you of the Republic that not only will the large quantities of rations for Aedui be delivered, but I will also have drinks and provisions ready for Bibrakde, which is only a dozen miles from this camp, and that Your Excellency will take you there to feast and then fight the Helvetians to the death!" This was Diviatchi's "utterly unsuperfluous words", which made all the soldiers present cheer, and the previous doubts and indignation also disappeared.

Li Bida was also very satisfied, in front of nearly 30,000 soldiers, Di Wei Archie's words were arranged by him in advance, and all the inducement information that should be covered by the operation strategy was covered, because Li Bida clearly observed that among the barbarian servant cavalry standing on the west side of the podium, there was a tall and arrogant young nobleman with only half of his beard, and this eye-catching feature showed that he was Dunorex, and he smiled very happily.

"But the camp of Helveti is less than ten miles from us," Caesar said logically, "but the camp of Helveti is less than ten miles from us, and these men are like this these days, not daring to turn back to fight the valiant legions, but are vilely ready to attack us at any time. If we want to go to Bibrakde, we have to cross in front of their opposing line, which is quite a dangerous move, so we have to hit this group hard at once, so that the other side can't interfere with the Legion's plan to go to Bibrakde, I need a legion. ”

At this time, Li Bida stepped forward and stood in front of Caesar and stretched out his hand to salute, "Your Excellency the Governor, please be sure to consider the contemptible Twelve Legions." ”

Caesar kept a very satisfied expression and said, "Absolutely yes, Lybidaeus, rest assured, as long as all the auxiliaries of the Twelfth Legion will be granted full citizenship after this expedition." ”

The above is the gratitude of the grace of the encounter, and the following is the joy of the hope that the desire of the mouth is satisfied, and the matter is thus "successfully resolved" on the scene, and then the group that entered the commander's camp, after being untied of his sword and dagger, stepped forward with an arrow, put his arms around Caesar's neck, kissed each other, and cried and pleaded: "For I am your closest friend, if that stupid brother of Dunolix is punished, then in my capacity in Adoui, and in my kinship with him, No one would not believe that Dunolex acted at my behest. My dear friend, Your Excellency the Doge of Gaul, do not let me be spurned by all Gaul, and do not extradite my brother to Rome for trial and execution. ”

At this time, Gallic nobles such as Reax also began to intercede for Diviatchi.

Caesar turned around, grabbed the other party's right hand, and said softly: "Since I didn't say this matter at the soldiers' meeting just now, I will never make it public again, but what I hope now is that you and your brother will be separated for a while, and I will not deprive your brother of the right to command. ”

After stabilizing the Diviache, Labinus and Lipida stood under the banner in the sub-camp of Edui, "The scouts of the Secongnes reported that the camp of the Helviti was at the foot of a hill eight miles away from Rome on the opposite side, and that His Excellency the Acting Commander-in-Chief would personally lead the spearhead to reconnoiter the hill, and then my Twelfth Legion would follow up with your auxiliary cavalry, occupy the top of the hill and the main road, and make a surprise attack on the Helvetian camp at the bottom of the mountain, and if the results were great enough, His Excellency Caesar would lead the main force to kill them."
