There are many mountain ranges in the Idalaria Mountains, and after observing the terrain, Chang'an chose a narrow mountain road as an ambush site.

The five thousand men had a clear division of labor and moved quickly, dug deep trenches and traps, and then arranged camouflage on them.

The sides of the mountain road seem to be littered with dead branches and leaves, and the top of the mountain is lined with rolling wooden boulders, just waiting for the enemy to enter the ambush circle.

A day later, the magistrate led the Roman army into the valley, and probably underestimated the strength of the rebels, believing that a group of rebellious slaves would surely hide in the city of Mutina and tremble when they heard that the army was coming.

The army did not have the vigilance and precautions it should have, and when all the soldiers entered the valley, Chang'an gave an order, and the boulders at the mouth of the valley fell to cut off the enemy's retreat.

Before the Roman soldiers could react, the rolling wood and thunder stones on the top of the mountain fell one after another, and there was a cry of ghosts and wolves, and the valley was in chaos, and the archers who were lying in ambush on the top of the mountain shot rockets to ignite the firewood and grass in the valley.

Chang'an ordered the soldiers to shout loudly on the top of the mountain, the momentum was huge, and the Roman army in the valley did not know the truth, and they were scurrying around, and they could not retreat but could only advance.

And the trap in front played a role, the bottom of the trench was a sharp weapon, countless people died in the trench, and there were soldiers who were lucky enough to climb up from the ditch, but they did not stand firmly, and after a few steps, they fell into the new trench trap again.

Or, do you think you'll be fine if you climb through three trench traps? Wrong! There are seven more trenches waiting for you ahead! And a dense rain of arrows on the top of the mountain is waiting for you!

The battle was fought heartily, and all the enemy troops were annihilated, and there was not a single casualty among our troops.

After clearing the battlefield, Chang'an led the 5,000 army to continue south, taking the opportunity to take the city of Lucca, which was adjacent to Mount Idalari.

After the war, there was a special person in charge of management, and the city of Lucca had a good foundation of citizens and actively responded to the new policy.

Recruitment was well underway, and the slaves of the nearby estates rushed to take refuge when they heard that the rebels had taken Lucca, and the training of recruits was in full swing.

On the other side, in the battle of Umbria, Selbas won a big victory and successfully took the city of Asculum.

After the handover of Lucca City was completed, Chang'an Xingcheng rushed to Rome City alone day and night.

Defeat on the battlefield, the Senate was furious, and the city of Rome was heavily guarded.

Outside the city of Rome, there was a row of crosses nailed to fugitive slaves, which was an example to punish and deter those who dared to flee.

Using [Concealment] and [Illusion] to easily enter the city, Chang'an can easily find out where Cthulla's mansion is located in the city.

The man's prestige in the city of Rome seems to be good, and both the commoners and the beggars on the side of the road agree that Mr. Sursula is the most congenial, approachable, and generous man in all of Rome.

Cus Licinius Csura was a Roman military strategist, statesman, and the richest man in Rome at the end of the Republic. He was good at speculation, and he accumulated thousands of family fortunes through the slave trade, mining operations, and speculative real estate trading.

Politically supportive of Sulla's faction, Sulla's power was hit hard after Sulla's retirement, and Khathula later brutally suppressed the Serbas uprising, giving him a certain position in the Senate.

Cthulla, Pompey and Caesar formed a three-headed political alliance, which was brilliant for a while, but because of his eagerness to establish his military exploits, he hastily launched a war against the Sabbatarian Empire, and was completely wiped out in the Battle of Calais, and was killed by the enemy.

Csura was an outlier among the Roman magnates, the only one who did not make a fortune by mistreating slaves and waging war.

He inherited his father's business and engaged in lowly business activities in the eyes of the aristocracy, but he achieved achievements that made everyone envious, jealous and hated.

He owned countless gold and silver mines, had a large number of slaves, and personally instructed the education of the slaves.

He was both generous and stingy, and was good at buying people's hearts, and it is said that he often feasted on the common people in his home; No matter how lowly the other person's status is, he can call the other person's name as long as he greets him, which has earned him a lot of popularity among the citizens.

He often lent money generously to his friends without interest, but as soon as the loan expired, he immediately and ruthlessly forced the debt, without showing any mercy, so he did not have many friends.

It doesn't sound like a nuisance to be a person too much, but it's a principle that all the enemies that stand in the way of Serbas's rise to kinghood should be cleared.

In the Senate, Cthulla was used to it, he was a man who knew the difference between public and private, and political setbacks did not affect his personal mood.

He walked leisurely on the way back to the mansion, smiling as usual and greeting the people he met.

"Mr. Cthulla, please wait!" A crisp female voice stopped him, and Khathula turned around, a young and beautiful girl, dressed in ordinary clothes, looking depressed, and cramped.

"Hello, beautiful young lady." Cthulla was sure she didn't know the girl in front of her, but she greeted politely.

"Mr. Cthulla, I have heard that you are the most generous man in all of Rome, please help me! Only you can help me, I really have no other way but to be cheeky and ask for your help! The girl begged intermittently with tears in her voice.

"Oh, beautiful young lady, what can I do for you?" Killing Surla often encounters people who turn to him for help, and a good favor can earn him a good reputation.

"What a good man you are, sir! Can you lend me some money? My mother is sick, we have no money for treatment, my mother is dying, please, borrow some money to save my mother, I will repay you! The girl spoke eagerly of her misfortune and begged the kind people to help her.

"How much money do you need?" Cthulla listened patiently, her face calm.

"Oh, a hundred dinars! What a kind man you are, sir! ”

Cthulla's hand stiffened, his face sank, and his good upbringing kept him from getting angry, and he nodded slightly and turned away.

After a few seconds, Crulla spun back again, placed a copper coin in the girl's palm, and left again.

Chang'an looked at the back of Khatsula leaving, what happened? Isn't it the richest man in Rome? What about the generosity of the good? Sure enough, he is stingy in his bones.
