"Comrades have worked hard!" Zhao Yu shouted affectionately, this sentence used to be shouted by others when he watched others, but now he finally has a chance to enjoy it!

It's a pity that these ancient people didn't know how to continue to serve the people.

Pacifying the agitated Communists, several leaders held a small meeting in the forest.

Present at the meeting were six senator-level slaves, as well as four gladiator representatives, and both the 'military and political' worlds were united.

"Let's report to the chairman first!" Friday reported from memory: "Two thousand seven hundred and fifty-six slaves escaped from the uprising that night, and during this time some of them were seriously wounded and died unexpectedly, and now two thousand seven hundred and ten survive!" They are already staunch communists! ”

"Good!" Zhao Yu praised that as long as the number of people does not drop below five hundred before the end of the challenge time, his punishment challenge will be fine!

"Of these, 2,300 were originally ordinary slaves, and 1,000 were old and young, women and children." Friday, encouraged by the chairman, reported again: "Four hundred and ten men are the original gladiators, which is considered the largest armed force in the party. ”

"Well, to arm all the party members who can be armed, gladiators alone are not enough, the revolution needs a lot of people and a lot of strength!"

"Chairman, we've done it! And with the help of General Leony, everyone's strength grew rapidly, and now the total number of armed men is eight hundred! (Nearly a hundred people were lost in five hundred sets of equipment)

"Very well, do you have any problems in life?"

"Everyone has adapted to life in the woods, and they have also set up simple huts, and occasionally they can hunt some food, and the beasts of prey have been driven away, but the food has not kept up with the consumption, and now in addition to the armed forces, they have begun to control, and they can only eat two meals of porridge a day, and even so, they will run out of food for seven days at most."

This is already a very dangerous number, only drinking porridge and food is basically not enough, and seven days is not enough time to even raise money, after all, transportation in this era relies on manpower, which is very time-consuming.

"Hmm... Who of you knows where there is a lot of food? The journey in three or four days. "Zhao Yu is not too familiar with this place, so he has to ask them first.

"The nearest one must be Carthage City, but there are too many garrisons in Carthage, it is easy to fight out of it, and it will be difficult to enter it again!" The first thing that comes to mind on Friday is Carthage, a city of many disasters.

"Carthage can't do it, it can't be beaten and it can't be digested!" Zhao Yu denied it, this is not a good target, although the troops of Carthage City were disabled, but the cavalry did not lose anything, the total garrison can be more than 2,000, plus there are many materials to defend the city, it is not a few hundred armed forces can gnaw down, even if it is defeated by a trick, tens of thousands of people inside cannot be controlled.

"Except for the city of Carthage, there are not many supplies in the small city nearby." As a gladiator, Leoni traveled more and had more insights: "But there is a good target on the other side of the forest!" ”

"Tell me?" Zhao Yu said with interest.

"Passing through the forests and mountains, continuing to the northwest, you will come across a large lake called Bizerte, and along the northern part of this lake, you will find a bay city, Bizerte Grande!" Leoni elaborately described: "It was a medium-sized city, with a population of about 20,000, and I used to play gladiatorial games there. ”

"The defense of that city is not strong, mainly the sea troops, I have inquired, there are about two thousand people, nearly fifty ships of the navy, the land force should only have one brigade, five hundred people like this!"

"Then there are also 2,500 people, isn't it difficult to fight?" Friday asked suspiciously, such a comparison, it is better to hit Carthage.

"It's a matter of season." Leoni smiled confidently and explained: "It's now May and a half, and the fishermen who have just experienced winter have gone out to sea to fish, and the small channel leading to Bisse is also open, as the navy will keep cruising the sea at this time to drive away pirates, so as long as the luck is not too bad, we will only face five hundred garrison brigades, and no more than five hundred guards and the navy left behind." ”

"Not bad!" Zhao Yu also felt that it made sense, the navy was not like the army, and it had been stationed: "What about the materials in this city?" Is there enough food? I mean official! ”

"Plenty of it! Bizerte is a grain-exporting city, and a lot of grain is shipped to Rome every year, because of the great lake of Bizerte, the grain output is very high! ”

"Time? How long do you expect it will take our large force to get there? "Time is what the Communist Party lacks the most.

"Hmm... Last time I took the sea route, it took more than a day to arrive, the land route is very difficult to walk, to cross the mountains and mountains, I expect to take at least five days, go slower, or take the wrong way, that ten days may not be able to arrive. ”

“。。” Zhao Yu was speechless, it seemed that it was too late to go, and he couldn't bet that he would be able to get there in time, if he took the wrong path, more than 2,000 people would starve to death.

"Zhao, you forgot, Carthage is also by the sea, and there are sea ships." The rice bucket prompted on the side, he hit the core the first time he spoke, and if he couldn't go by land, he would take the sea route, and there would be no boat? Grab it!

Zhao Yu thought carefully about the feasibility, and then instructed Friday to count the people who could drive the boat and swim, and then discussed with Leoni the plan to seize the boat.

"Hi Old Neo! Your caravan is back! Early in the morning, a merchant was supervising the loading of goods at the port, and saw a fleet of ships docking, which turned out to be the caravan of an old friend: "Let's go have a drink in the evening!" ”

"Hello! Grote! I was lucky enough to come by the wind, and I haven't met a pirate yet! Thank goodness for that! Old Neo smiled at the bow of the ship with a big belly: "Now that the price of grain in Rome has come down, it will be cost-effective to exchange some goods next time!" ”

"I just bought a warehouse of wine, wine from Senatia Winery, good quality, just waiting to be loaded!" Grote proudly pointed to the wine barrel beside him and said, "Rome is about to hold a gladiatorial tournament, this thing must be a hot seller!" ”

"My God! You're such a genius! Neo exclaimed, "That's a great idea, and if nothing else, you'll be able to make a fortune with these shipments!" ”

"Of course! After making this money, I will go and buy another boat, the more boats this year, the more insurance! ”

"Indeed, I also think that I have fewer ships, hey, you are really in a hurry to get rich, you actually hired so many slaves to carry them, and you have a lot of money!"

"Haha, is it much?" Grote smiled and said, "It's only a dozen... Eh, who of you called it? I didn't do so much hard work! ”

"Hehe, we are just righteous and brave, help you finish it quickly!" A big black man with mud on his face, a wine barrel in one hand, and a stupid smile: "Don't worry, I don't want your money!" ”

"Oh, I don't need money, there is such a good thing." Grote was bewildered by his simple appearance for a moment, and then asked, "Eh! Why are you driving my crew off the ship? Also threw my wine!! ”
