Chapter 12: The Mission—The Grand Chapter
PS: Ask for a monthly pass! Ask for recommendations! 30,000 manuscripts were lost, vomiting blood and making up for it overnight, and today I finally broke out 10,000 updates, and the brothers have a lot of support.
Speaking of the last word, Caesar smiled self-deprecatingly.
He said slowly: "Pompey's move is very vicious, once it is successful, the 13th Army Corps, which has been fighting abroad all the year round and is homesick, will definitely have a floating military spirit, and many contradictions hidden under the victory will erupt in a concentrated manner." Pompey can logically care about the situation in Gallic in the name of the Senate, send someone to replace me and go back, and by the way, pick up the peaches on the ground himself. If the flag cannot be recovered, morale will continue to be low, and there will be mutinies and defections. Then it's not just about me going back, it's just going to go to court. ”
Anthony said in a vicious voice: "This dead fat man and political animal who can only slap horses and steer the rudder when the wind blows has long harbored ill intentions towards you, how can it be today?" He had long betrayed his early political promises and thrown himself into the arms of the aristocracy, issuing a special decree to oppose the violent rebellion of the commoners against the aristocracy and safeguard the interests of the aristocracy. He used his power to point his finger at you, proposing a law that there should be a five-year interval between the consuls and the prefects of Rome and the governors of the provinces at the end of their terms. He then used his authority in the Senate to prevent you from extending the term of office of the governor of Gaul. I said a long time ago, sooner or later there will be a battle between you and him! ”
He said generously: "That guy from Pompey, if he hadn't seen the wind and steered himself and took the boat of the dictator Sulla, how could he be in the limelight today?" In order to befriend Sula, he even abandoned his knotted wife and went to marry Sula's daughter! During the Battle of Sucro Town that year. Pompey's army was defeated, he himself was seriously wounded, and he was almost captured, and then in the Battle of Segongtia, Pompey's army suffered another defeat. From Greece to North Africa, from Spain to Syria, to the Mediterranean bandits, which victory was not piled up by Pompey with more than ten times the force? This guy still dares to say that he can use soldiers? ”
Anthony talked endlessly, and Pompey was deeply damaged from character to ability. But Caesar looked at the generals below. The faces of those generals had more or less disapproving looks. Yes, Caesar's conflict with Pompey is Caesar's own business. Pompey represents the Senate, the will of Rome. If he declares Caesar an "enemy of the Fatherland." These generals and legions. How many people are still willing to die for Caesar?
It has already been said before. After 8 years of wanton plundering and massacre, the current Caesar's legion is no longer the poor bastard and called Hanako when it first entered Gaul. Even if they are ordinary fighters. Everyone has a lot of money, a lot of private treasures, slaves, beautiful women, and trophies that can't be loaded, not to mention these Qiu Ba generals, who represent the war, are even more profitable, eager to end the Gallic war, return to Rome triumphantly, carry the wealth of the rich country, fresh clothes and angry horses, and enjoy life.
The so-called ass determines the head, these Roman legionary generals who are only loyal to the country and not to the individual, who cares who will be the governor of Gaul? If you work with Caesar to rebel against Pompey, isn't that tantamount to opposing Rome? Treason? Not only did he have to take the great risk of defeat and death, but Caesar could not get the reward corresponding to the risk. This kind of thing that puts the rich man alone, but wants to rebel and kill the head, which fool is willing to do it?
Not to mention, these Roman generals are famous in their respective families, what the Cepian family, what the Julia family, all of them are based in Rome, and this rebellion, won't the family all suffer? Anyway, even if Pompey destroyed Caesar, he would need to be familiar with the generals of Gaul to sit in the Gallic army, and the sin would not be able to get behind the famous family of these specific affairs. To tell the truth, even if Pompey is powerful, it depends on the faces of these Roman founding era that are meritorious and noble, what are they afraid of? Not to mention that Pompey represents the interests of the aristocratic faction, these famous generals are themselves aristocratic factions, and if they want to reform the lives of their own factions, they are afraid that it will be difficult to ascend to the sky.
Looking at the human attitudes of the Roman generals below who were either smiling or smiling, or with angry expressions, calm hearts, or simply putting on a businesslike face, even Caesar and Antony could only shake their heads secretly. These powerful generals refuse to rebel, can they still kill people and establish their authority?
Kirk was keenly aware of this anomaly, and snickered in his heart, it seems that although in the legends of later generations, the peerless famous generals made brilliant achievements, slaughtering cities and destroying the country while talking and laughing, but every specific problem needs to be carefully scrutinized and solved. Now the Gallic legions are determined not to rebel, even the god of war Caesar, is at a loss.
Finally, Caesar stopped Antony's generous statement, this is not the way, he sneered slightly, since you veterans who don't eat oil and salt don't want to fight, then I will make a gesture and let you die for Pompey!
He tapped his finger on the table: "I still know Pompey, although he has repeatedly sent people to frame me, but as the governor of Gaul and the commander of the legions, everything must be based on the interests of the whole and everyone." You have been fighting with me for so many years, and now, because of Pompey's opinion of me personally, it is not worth it for everyone to risk being declared treason by the Senate. In this way, I decided to give up all my interests and merits, and sent a negotiating team headed by Antony to Rome to talk to Pompey about how I could spare our Gallic legions. It's okay for me to be wronged myself, the important thing is that he can raise his noble hand and let our soldiers go. You should be the heroes of Rome, the heroes of Jingbian, by the Senate to hold a triumphatory ceremony, and return to Rome in style. As for me, I'm old, and as long as I live, whether it's exile or dismissal, it's up to Pompey to decide! ”
Hearing this, everyone's hearts moved. Although these Roman generals were reluctant to oppose Rome, they were Caesar's cronies who were trained and promoted by Caesar, and to say that Caesar was gone, this contrast made them feel sad. At that time, some stunned young people jumped out and shouted, they wanted to follow Caesar back to Rome and make Pompey's rebellion.
Caesar smiled indifferently, the kind of indifferent fame and fortune that has been successful and retired and left unintentionally is really the legacy of Zhuge Wuhou, but Kirk has long seen through this old fox's strategy of wanting to capture and retreat, and he is naturally unmoved.
Caesar whispered to Antony: "Cut off the head of Pompey's adjutant and marinate it." Sent to Pompey's house on a fast horse, it was said to be a gift from his old friend Caesar. ”
Antony immediately understood that Caesar had no sincerity in peace talks, and this trick was to pour all the dirty water that caused the civil war on Pompey!
Pompey's lieutenant was killed, the head was sent, and he had the righteousness and military superiority of the Senate, and if he could endure it and agree to make peace, it would be hell!
Anthony was going to Rome to negotiate peace. Naturally, you have to lead a subordinate. He was very appreciative of Warrennos. This time the flag mission Volonos was also well accomplished, so he was asked to follow. Warrenos was also homesick and wanted to go back to Rome to see his wife Nyopor and several children, so he agreed.
Plo was also admired by Anthony. is also in the ranks of casual obedience.
Kirk didn't have to go. But a delicate face suddenly flashed in his mind. Rome, that's the home of Illisia.
This thought was out of control, and the figure of that Yiren always lingered in my heart. From the space bounty task, you also need to move around a lot. Observe everywhere. Rome, as the center of this plot world, is naturally the object of key investigation. Besides, Kirk's [Veronesia's Lucky Bracelet] can no longer use the life-saving skill [Favor of the Roman Gods] since he used it, and he can only use it with +7 luck. The space was also unable to repair this item from the Roman realm, suggesting that Kirk would need to be blessed by Malfona, the goddess of luck in the Temple of the Gods, before he could continue to use it.
In addition, Kirk's [Gift of the Lord God of Rome] also needs to be probed a lot in order to get news of other parts as soon as possible.
Octavian was supposed to go with him, but Caesar refused to allow him to make the trip, considering that he had just come all the way from Rome and had traveled a long way.
Under the watchful eye of Caesar, Antony immediately set off with the negotiating team and headed for Rome, the Eternal City.
Since this trip is all elite warriors, the horses galloped along the way, and the speed was extremely fast. It took only a few days to cross the hills of North Gaul and the fields of South Gaul, over the Alps and into the Apennines.
It's autumn harvest season, and along the way, the wheat fields are undulating, barley, grapes, olives and other crops are lined up, and a large number of slaves are toiling in the fields, sweating like rain, showing the prosperity of the Roman Republic.
To Kirk's amazement, Rome was so open. This guy likes to gallop all the way, run to the front, and then disappear from everyone's sight, and disappear for a long time. Xiaopang, a caring person, found it a few times, and with a finger of his hand, Kirk was speechless.
It turned out that this guy actually ran to the surrounding hills, held down the shepherdess, and actually did that unseemly thing in the woods.
Not to mention that Wang Han blushed and took a bite of indignation, the other Roman soldiers were obviously not surprised, Anthony saw it, and laughed and scolded a few words, obviously only appreciating Plo's behavior without reproach.
But the shepherdesss had no shame of being coerced, and while watching the galloping crowd, she screamed so loudly and debauchedly that the hearts of these big-headed soldiers, who had been in the barracks for several years and could only watch mares, suddenly jumped.
What's even more infuriating is that this guy Plo chased after him while tying up his trouser pockets, while proudly boasting to everyone about his brilliant achievements, carefully analyzing the differences and connections between the Outer Gaul shepherds, the Gallic woman, the Roman prostitute, and the Spanish barbarian.
Over the years, Pu Luo has really fought on three legs on the left and right, two guns up and down, and has traveled all over the mountains and rivers of beauties of all ethnic groups in the Mediterranean. If it weren't for Wang Han's fierce phoenix eyes, Xiaopang would almost immediately bow down and bow down, kneeling and calling God.
Kirk decided that if there was such a specialized science, Plo would have been able to write a million-word masterpiece such as "On the Comparative Study of Women in the Mediterranean World."
However, in the Roman legions, in addition to the heroic killing, the soldiers and even the officers can boast about it can only be this little affair. Rao was like this, so even Anthony couldn't help it, and his identity could not go to the shepherdess, so he ordered Warrenos:
"If the wild donkey can't control his third leg, he'll be gelding."
Plo was dancing with his eyebrows and bragging about the essentials of the movements of a Gallic woman by the side of a tree, and when he heard Volonos convey the general's military order, he unwillingly muttered two sentences of "envy, jealousy, hatred" or something, but he no longer dared to make a big statement.
Not much. The majestic walls of the city of Rome are already vivid. Several people entered the city of Rome.
Although Kirk's love for Illicia was burning, he followed Anthony all the way to Pompey's mansion to visit.
Pompeii was a dear man, and this luxurious mansion on the banks of the Tiber River spread over hundreds of acres, with a stream of snow-white marble from the eastern mountains, shining in the sun as if it were made of silver. The fountain is bubbling and the garden is full of exotic flowers and plants. Dot. Statues of philosophers, heroes, beautiful women, and war horses are dotted among them, and it is a beautiful place in the world.
Approaching the interior of the room, Anthony led a group of soldiers and Grandma Liu into the Grand View Garden. The air was filled with the pleasant smell of musk from rest. Beneath your feet is the soft cloud-like touch of a Persian rug. On the side are the most beautiful and gentle Gallic beauties in hot clothes, and on the walls are the precious ivory and Spanish bone carvings of North Africa, on top of the golden roof. It is a large-scale drawing depicting the various deeds of the owner of this mansion against Marius, against Sulla, against the Sulla, against the pirates, the appeasement of Spain, and the earthquake in Central Asia. When he was young, Pompey's heroic posture and military exploits suddenly jumped to the top, which was impressive.
Antony spewed out a "hum" word from his nostrils, he himself is a military expert, and naturally understands that Pompey is boastful, although there are indeed a lot of military achievements, but most of them are achieved by using the huge military machine of the Roman Republic with ten times the number of troops. Compared with Caesar and himself in Gaul, who repeatedly won more with less, and with the great merit of the weak and the strong, like a firefly to Haoyue, how to convince him?
Pompey's receptionist simply coldly brought in the soldiers, and when he reached the vestibule, he ordered the soldiers who followed Antony to be grounded, and only Antony was brought into the inner court.
Kirk and the others had to wait in the outer hall. Who knew that this would be a day.
Watching the sun rise from the east to noon, and then sunset in the west, Anthony was never seen to come out, and if it weren't for the fact that the whistle of the assassination in Antony's hand had not sounded, and there was no abnormality around, Warrenos would have almost rushed in with someone to savior.
It wasn't until the lights were on, and the Pompey Mansion was lit up, that Antony walked out in a rage.
He hated and yelled: "Pompey, this dog thief! There is no sincerity at all! ”
And they followed him out of the house. After some wild running, entering Caesar's mansion in Rome, and taking his seat in the main hall, Antony roared angrily: "This greedy old ghost! He saw the head of the adjutant we sent back the day before yesterday, and he dared to ask me what was the matter as soon as we met? Why kill the envoy he sent to Spain on business? ”
Warrenos said in a deep voice, "It looks like he wants to throw the blame for stealing the flag and pretend not to know." Even if we were to testify against him, there would be no witnesses or witnesses. ”
Anthony gritted his teeth and said, "I asked him, what is the bottom line of peace?" He actually said that now he was only interested in the trial and the exile of Caesar! It seems that Caesar had only two ways to go, either to be exiled or to be altogether! ”
He stretched out his right hand and swiped it viciously on his neck!
Kirk looked at Anthony with interest. This ambitious militant was not satisfied with the little wealth he had received from Gaul, and he wanted to follow Caesar in his quest for greater political power and wealth!
Antony thought for a moment and sneered: "Although Pompey covers the sky with one hand in the Senate, don't want to blind the eyes of the Roman citizens. Pulo! I will hand you a letter from Caesar to the citizens of Rome, and you will have someone with you to copy many copies of it for me this evening, and I will see this big-character poster all over Rome tomorrow before the Roman Senate speaks in place of Caesar! ”
He waved his hand: "I'm going to visit some old friends in politics and the military tonight, you don't have to follow me." Warren North, go home and see your wife and children. And a few of you, let's go out and relax. Each received a hundred ores and went to the red light district of Rome to put out the fire. Come back and let Plo's spring stallion who only wants the number know that the woman of Rome is the real woman! He used to work as a sow. ”
Wang Han and Chubby finished receiving Ole, and turned around to see that Kirk was gone.
Chubby asked, "Does the eldest brother still have acquaintances in Rome?" Ran away again on this big night? ”
Wang Han said viciously: "I hope he is captured by the virus." ”
Kirk hummed "What a beautiful summer night" as he navigated the streets of Rome. He had entered Rome in the world of Blood and Sand, and was very familiar with the general location of the place.
Although he did not know where Elisia was now, it was not difficult to inquire about the residence of the famous First Legion and Reserve Commander Grebour. Half an hour later, Kirk was already outside Grabo's residence.
To say that this sinister and vicious Grebo is really unlucky, his wife was stolen by Kirk, not to mention, Kirk came again as soon as he entered the space.
In the space, he has already inquired, as long as it is the progress of the space based on his own team, the relationship between the characters is still based on the progress of the group leader, supplemented by others. In this case, Elisia is still the noblewoman she loves.
He rolled over with a harrier, climbed the 3-meter-high outer wall as lightly as a cat, and then jumped down again, barely making a sound.
The so-called wife is not as good as a concubine, a concubine is not as good as stealing, and the pleasure of stealing jade and stealing incense is simply the greatest pleasure for men. The rice is fragrant next door, and the wife is good for someone else's family. (To be continued......)
