"Promote Scava to the rank of Chief Centurion of the Tenth Legion, Azirius to the rank of Centurion, and the six centurions of the Chief Brigade of the Twelfth Legion who came with me to reinforce will all be promoted to Chief Centurions with equal treatment, and reward eight warriors with two hundred thousand Cesses." Caesar said generously, holding the blood-stained arrow in his hand.

By this time, the three legions of Li Bida had arrived at the crossing of the Gimmons River, in other words, he was equal to Caesar's position and the port of Dickhachan, and happened to be at the center of both sides.

Li Bida suddenly ordered the camp to be camped, and then he summoned all the officers to carry out a military council.

"To Dikhachan, or to Kocula?" This is the topic of resolution proposed by Li Bida, which is beyond the expectations of all his subordinates, isn't Caesar's order to reinforce Dickharchan!

At this time, the lieutenant General Petronius, who was slowly feeling the taste, said, "Forgive me for trespassing, I do not think that the orders of His Excellency Dictor are in line with the changes in the battlefield now. ”

"Tell me what you think, my assistant." Li Bida asked him to plan a new plan.

"Because even if we go to the harbor, it happens to be in the hands of the enemy Rabinus, and the real decisive decision is in these three days, the problem of food supply, on the contrary, has taken a back seat, and now only we can solve the situation of Kocula and win, 'the situation has reached the time when the reserve should be put in'!" Peternius said clearly, "And we are the 'reserves'. ”

"That's right, we are the 'reserves' of His Excellency the Dictator, and what about Dikhachan, or Olicum? My fleet has just arrived in Sardinia. It will take some time to count on them to be thrown into battle. But passively wait for the words. And the fighter planes will be delayed, and the most basic thing is that I hope Caesar will win, so starving for a few days and losing some territory, this is not a problem at all, I can't be led by the nose by the enemy, and in turn my three legions are thrown behind the city of Kocula. It can really be a weight that determines the outcome of the entire war. Libida soon "approved" Petnius, and then he ordered that the three legions at hand should temporarily set up camp at the Gimmons River, keep a certain distance from Caesar's blockade in the north of the city of Cocula, and actively make contact with the Ninth and Eleventh Legions, and report to His Excellency Caesar: This of mine is to be used as a reserve mobile decisive force, and if the main force of Pompey's side is really going to raid the harbor, I will go to support there; If Rabinus still puts his main force on Coculla, then I am at a critical moment. Join the siege of him on the annihilation.

The arrival of Li Bida undoubtedly increased Caesar's confidence in besieging Kocula. But then after the victory of his army, there was a great trouble - after the battle, a group of Gallic cavalry, to be exact, the Alobrogis, this is the tribe of Lipida's friend gladiator Opric, they were also persuaded by Liberda to join Caesar's servant army, many of whom were very loyal to Caesar, and Caesar also granted them citizenship, so now this group of cavalry can complain to the dictator as citizens against their two officer leaders, Laugilus and Elgus, These two were brothers, the two sons of the tribal king Adminils (see the previous book "The Three-Headed Monster"), who were always in charge of the servant cavalry in place of their father, and also made many military achievements, and Caesar was also kind to the two brothers, so he put them in the Senate at the same time.

But now the two brothers have committed a crime against the wrath of the people, and they are the children of their own people, and the crime handed before Caesar is "to steal the spoils of war and eat empty wages." ”

To tell the truth, Caesar was unmoved when he saw the previous accusations, and when he saw the latter accusations, he first laughed dumbly, and then sighed: what even the Romans had not invented, the Gallic nobles had learned not long after entering the Senate, and it seemed that they had fallen faster than Mercury.

On the indictment, it was all the signatures of the children of the tribe, and those who did not know Greek and Latin had fingerprints instead, densely packed, Caesar called the slaves to count them, and the answer was six hundred and forty-seven, "Bastard, these two guys have been paid 1,200 people!" Caesar angrily pressed the papers, but he calmed down for the time being, and after consulting the generals, he decided that the great battle was imminent, and the difficulties were not yet gone, and it was not appropriate to punish the brothers, not to mention that they also had a large number of followers, and also implicated our diplomatic relations with this tribe.

Caesar then comforted the complainants, and said that they would make up the full amount of their seized wages, and then called the brothers to them, only reprimanded them, and warned them not to take money in the name of friendship with my Caesar, or it will only cause harm and misunderstanding to all of us." ”

But Laugilus and Elgus, when they returned to the camp, were indignant and terrified, "Although the dictator Akari did not punish us, it is more disturbing, isn't it?" Who knows what he will do to us in the future, if we are deprived of the right to wear red-rimmed robes by the Inspector after the crime is carried out, it will surely become the laughing stock and shame of the whole clan, and the glory will fall into the mud. At this time, the younger brother Elgus thought of a figure, and said to his brother, "Why don't you beg General Lybidaeus, who is now Caesar's chief lieutenant and has a great relationship with our tribe." ”

"It's too late, it's not on the same battlefield at all." Laugilus interrupted him in a panic, and the brothers fled with more than 100 domestic slave cavalry and threw themselves into Rabinus's camp.

"Of course I welcome your renunciation of darkness, but you must also show sincerity, Laugilus and Elgus, we have known each other since we were in Gaul, and I persuaded you both at that time that sooner or later you will be prosecuted for corruption, and I did not expect this day to come at this time." Rabinus spoke to the brothers in a gentle tone.

"Originally, we were going to kill the cavalry captain next to Caesar as a gift, but we couldn't do it." Laugilus gasped.

"What do I want this worthless head to do?" Rabinus also seemed to be in a hurry, "What I need now is information on three aspects, the corps configuration of Caesar's three-sided blockade line, the number of troops in each stronghold, and the tactical character of the leading officer. ”

Hearing this request, the brothers were dumbfounded, this obviously exceeded their psychological bottom line, if it was said that they would turn their backs on Caesar and kill a cavalry chief as a greeting gift, it seemed to be reasonable, but to sell such a big secret was tantamount to self-destruction.

However, it was this momentary hesitation that made Rabinus understand that the brothers understood Caesar's subordinates, and he said sharply, "Now you have a choice!" (To be continued......)
