The Julius family of Flavis was about to invade the territory of the Germanic barbarians, so naturally they had a specific understanding of the information about the rise of the Germanic barbarians and the seven Germanic tribes; In response to these circumstances, Flavies also developed a plan for the Julius family.

If the Julius family had simply sent troops from the Norikum region directly to the Germanic barbarians of Agripgumat, then the Germanic Mainz tribe that ruled Aglidigumat would soon be supported by the other six tribes; It would be extremely unwise to use the power of the House of Julius against the armies of the entire Germanic barbarians.

Even though the army of the Julius family had an absolute advantage in weapons and equipment, those who were more familiar with the Germanic lands had an unparalleled geographical advantage; Coupled with the bravery of the Germanic warriors and the unity of the Germanic tribes, the Julius family did not actually have much advantage.

More importantly, the Julius family wanted not only to occupy the territory of the Germanic barbarians, but to maintain their own family rule after the occupation; Otherwise, it would not be easy to occupy the Germanic lands, and if you were not careful, these newly occupied lands would become places where the Julius family was buried.

When the weak Germanic barbarians faced the invasion of the powerful Gallic barbarian army, they did not give up resistance after losing their land, but fought an all-out war in which all the people were soldiers; Now that the Germanic barbarians are so powerful, will they easily give up their former glory and accept the rule of the Romans with peace of mind?

The answer is naturally no, as long as the army of the Julius family enters the territory of the Germanic barbarians, it means that the all-out war between the Julius family and the Germanic barbarians has officially broken out; Even if the Julius family occupies all the lands of the Germanic barbarians, it does not mean that the war is over, perhaps, that time is the beginning of the test of the Julius family!

In order to avoid Julius being caught off guard when dealing with the counterattack of the Germanic barbarians, from the very beginning of the preparation for the war, Flavis thought of a way to solve the problem of the Germanic barbarian counterattack; It turns out that it is difficult for a scheming man like Flavis to come up with a good enough solution to such a dead knot.

The unruliness of the Germanic barbarians is not something that can be subdued by any human means, and perhaps, the only effective way may be to attack with strong force; In addition to the Roman aristocratic corruption of the Germanic barbarian nobility in those lands after the conquest of those lands, strong force should be the best way to suppress them.

Of course, Flavies was one of the most prominent figures in the Roman Republic, and his methods of intrigue were far more vicious than outsiders might think; How to disperse the strength of the conquered Germanic barbarians, and convert the conquered Germanic barbarians into the strength of the Julius family, for Flavis, there are still some solutions.

However, before these measures could be implemented, the first thing Flavis had to do was to lead the army of the House of Julius to victory in the war; Only by conquering the entire Germanic barbarian tribe in one fell swoop could the Julius family gain the greatest initiative.

As for how to conquer the Germanic barbarians as soon as possible, Flavis had already consulted with the generals of the Julius family to come up with a good solution; That is, to first send troops to take the region of Poheim to the east of the Agripgumat region, and then attack the Mainz tribes of the Agridiggumat region and the Macomani tribes of the Macomani region of the Macomani region of the Germanic barbarians from Norikum and Boheim at the same time.

Geographically, the Poheim region is a strategic point connected to the Germanic barbarian regions of Agridigumat and Makomani; As long as the Julius family can successfully take the Poheim region, they can gain the strategic initiative.

In the event of war, the forces of the Julius family of Norikum would attack the Mainz tribes in the Agripum-Culmat region with lightning speed; After the occupation of the region of Agripgumat by the forces of the House of Julius, the Upper and Lower Germanic regions of the Germanic barbarians were completely cut off from the rest of the East.

The army of the Julius family, who had occupied Poheim, could also march north and attack the Germanic barbarian region of Macomani; You must know that behind the Macomani region is the Cadi region, the core of the Germanic barbarians, which is the primary goal of the Julius family in this war.

As long as the army of the House of Julius can successfully capture the Macomani region and enter the Cadi region; Then the whole Germanic barbarian will be divided into three regions that are completely unable to support each other, and the western Upper Germanic and Lower Germanic regions will have to rely on each other, and the Gothic regions in the east and the Saxon region in the north will have to fight alone.

Once such a strategic goal was accomplished, it was almost impossible for the Germanic barbarians to organize large-scale counterattacks and decisive battles; At that time, the Julius family only needed to carry out large-scale division and suppression in the Germanic barbarian lands that they had occupied, and they might not be able to obtain the refuge and service of some small Germanic barbarian tribes.

No matter how powerful the Germanic barbarians are, it is impossible for everyone to be a warrior who would rather die than give in; Even a warrior who is fearless in the face of death may not be able to be hard-hearted in the face of money, beauty, and extravagant life.

Moreover, the core of power of the Germanic barbarians has always been the seven tribes that rose in the war with the Gaul barbarians; Haven't other tribes, big or small, never had the ambition to take their place?

These were the weaknesses of the Germanic barbarians that the Julius family could exploit, and they were also an important means to ensure that the Julius family could successfully divide the Germanic barbarians and conquer the Germanic lands; With these established policies established, the Julius family's plan to conquer the region of Eupoheim was about to begin.

The Poheim region, a region that has survived on both sides surrounded by extremely aggressive Germanic barbarians, is still very powerful in the Lovosice tribe that rules the region; It is a miracle that the Lovosice tribe has an army of 20,000 people, with a mere Poheim region as its rule.

You must know that in the original Norikum area, there were only 5,000 barbarian warriors and 3,000 barbarian infantry; That's the number of armies that the Norikum region has if it's close to civilization and can be funded through trade.

The only thing where the Lovosice tribe is stronger than all the other barbarian tribes is that there are no other tribes in the entire Poheim region to disperse manpower and material resources, and only one Lovosice tribe rules the Poheim region without any rivals.

Such a single barbarian tribal model of rule allowed the Lovosice tribe to gather more troops in the Poheim region; In addition, the race of the Lovosice tribe also belongs to the brave and warlike Celtic branch, and their combat effectiveness can also be guaranteed.

The large size of the army and the strong combat power of the army allowed the Poheim region ruled by the Lovosice tribe to successfully maintain its independence under the coercion of the Germanic barbarians; Now, the Julius family will put an end to the era when the Poheim region was ruled by the Lovosice tribe.

Rabinus's Fifth Legion and Varus's Sixth Legion, as well as Cecil's Seventh Legion, were the armies that Flavis used to attack the Lovosice tribe and conquer the Poheim region; And their commander is Caesar, who is not yet an adult!

Flavies is not very old, and if nothing else, it is okay to fight for the Julius family for another ten years; However, meaning is always everywhere, and Flavis must train a qualified and powerful new family leader for the Julius family during his lifetime, and this person is naturally the little Caesar.

Caesar's political and military acumen was what Flavies admired the most, and Caesar also had a discerning eye, Flavis really couldn't think of any shortcomings in Caesar that were unsuitable for succeeding to the position of family leader; However, Caesar also had his own fatal weakness, that is, he was too young and inexperienced.

The rapid rise of the Augustan family made Oscar, the young family leader, a legend sung throughout the Mediterranean; The relationship between the Julius family and the Augustan family was one of rivalry, even hostility, but Flavis himself made no secret of his admiration for the Oscars.

And Caesar of the Julius family, in the eyes of Flavies, is a legend who is more amazing and brilliant than the Oscar of the Augustus family; Flavies firmly believed that as long as the gods were willing to give Caesar enough time to grow, the future world would be a struggle between Oscar and Caesar, and that the others and their forces would not have to worry at all.

The crux of the matter is that even Oscar, who created the myth of the rise of the Augustan family at a young age, took over the Augustan family when he became an adult, leading the leaderless Augustan family to rise and become powerful.

In this respect, Caesar's age disadvantage was too great; And the stronger starting strength of the Julius family has also become an obstacle to Caesar's strength to some extent, after all, the rightful heir to power of the Julius family is not Caesar, but Caesar's great Boquintus Julius!

In view of this, Flavies had to cultivate Caesar's political and military experience early, and build a solid force base for Caesar; This time, Caesar served as the main general to lead the army, which allowed him to accumulate valuable experience, and the commanders of the three legions on the expedition were also generals who swore allegiance to Caesar, and it was especially important to cultivate trust between them and Caesar.
