When the messenger had gone, Antony asked Octavian with some anger: "Why do you agree to these conditions, what is there to pity those old fellows who can only sleep with boys?" ”

Octavian glanced at Yang Rui beside him, and Yang Rui asked Antony, "What is our purpose?" ”

Antony thought for a moment and said, "Take the city of Rome." ”

Yang Rui said: "In this case, as long as we agree to their conditions, the city of Rome is ours, and we can also minimize our losses, why don't we agree to such a thing." ”

Anthony argued, "But the murderers will be pardoned, and don't forget that we are here for revenge." ”

Yang Rui said with a smile: "From the moment we entered the city, Rome was ours. When the time comes, the fate of those parliamentarians will be in our hands, and it will be up to us to decide whether they live or die. ”

Antony looked at Octavian suspiciously, Octavian nodded and said, "Rui said everything I wanted to say. ”

Anthony suddenly realized, and also smiled, and said, "You really have Caesar's cunning." ”

Octavian said: "Because we are all descendants of the Julius family. ”

The next day, an army of 200,000 marched into the city of Rome. For the first time, the citizens of Rome saw legions marching for themselves pass before their eyes.

Octavian and Antony rode on tall horses and looked down at the Roman citizens on both sides of the road, Antony's face was full of smugness, while Octavian looked preoccupied.

Yang Rui came to Octavian's side and said, "I have prepared this for you. ”

After saying that, he put a parchment scroll into Octavian's hand, and Octavian opened it to see that there were dozens of charges against the Senate, each of which was enough to put these people to death.

Octavian asked Yang Rui, "Is this okay?" ”

Yang Rui said: "Your army of 200,000 is enough for all the citizens of Rome to accept this. ”

Octavian nodded, handed the parchment back to Yang Rui and said, "Then do it." ”

Yang Rui said: "Why didn't you hesitate this time? ”

Octavian said, "I have entered Rome, and if I had been as merciful to them as Caesar was, I would have been the next to die in the Senate." ”

Yang Rui smiled and said, "You have finally grown up." ”

Octavian shook his head and said, "No, I have grown up, and as you say, I am convinced that God chose me. ”

In the square of the Senate, the councillors once again greeted the new warlords of the Julius family, and the crowd, led by Bruce, stood on the steps of the murder of Caesar, looking at the red eagle banner in their eyes, and their hearts could not help but feel uneasy.

Unexpectedly, Caesar's death did not bring the result they wanted, but forced Caesar's two descendants to rebel, and it had come to their eyes.

Although the messenger brought the news that Octavian and Antony had agreed to the terms of the peace talks, the old men behind him were powerless to resist in the face of an army of 200,000.

Bruce greeted Octavian and Antony, and just as he was about to introduce the two young men to the councillors, Antony suddenly ordered the guards behind him to surround them.

Immediately, Yang Rui took out the parchment scroll, read out aloud the charges of the Senate, and announced that from now on, the murderer will be severely punished and the Senate will be dissolved!

Bruce and about three hundred councillors, all tied up by Roman soldiers, shouted, "Octavian, Antony! You really are not as merciful as Caesar, you can't do this to us! ”

Octavian said coldly: "It was because of Caesar's mercy that he lost his surname and died at the hands of his closest companions!" You're all going to pay for it! ”

Bruce shouted, "You promised our terms, you can't be untrustworthy!" ”

Octavian said: "Credit is void against the enemy!" ”

Later, the whole city of Rome learned the truth, Caesar did not betray the state, but those councillors collaborated to murder the hero of Rome.

The anger of the whole of Rome was ignited, and the citizens gathered in the square to demand the execution of the murderer and the dissolution of the damned Senate. This is exactly what Octavian and Anthony wanted.

That night, several of the killers of Caesar, led by Bruce, were brought to the square, where a roaring fire had been lit. The reddened light of the fire illuminated countless angry faces.

Bruce kept shouting, "Octavian, Antony, you are all shameless villains, complete liars. ”

However, he had lost his voice, and was pushed by the executioner to the front of the fire, where he knelt on the ground, and then was pierced through the chest with a sharp dagger, and the bright red blood flowed all over the ground, and the body was thrown into the fire and burned until it turned into a wisp of black smoke.

Over the next month, the city of Rome hosted a number of grand arenas, with hundreds of arrested councillors pushed into the arena to be killed, mutilated, and even eaten by beasts and gladiators.

Their flesh and entrails became the catalyst that ignited the passion of Rome, and one by one they fell and died in front of the eyes of the Roman citizens in a loud cheer.

In the main stand, Octavian watched the slaughter in silence, after which he poured a glass of wine and handed it to Yang Rui behind him, saying: "This is my respect for you, you have helped Caesar and now you have helped me, so I must thank you." ”

Yang Rui took the wine glass and said slowly, "Do you have any plans for the next step?" ”

Octavian was taken aback and asked, "What do you mean by that?" ”

Yang Rui pointed at Anthony, who was indulging in killing, and said: "Now Rome belongs to the two of you, but a state function has a leader, who do you want to be the leader?" ”

Octavian was silenced by this question, and he pondered for a long time before asking, "You mean there will be problems between me and Antony." ”

Yang Rui said with a smile: "It's not just a problem, it's a big problem." You will eventually start another civil war because of the ultimate control of Rome! ”

Octavian was surprised and asked, "Really?" ”

Yang Rui asked rhetorically: "Are you willing to hand over everything you got now?" ”

Octavian shook his head and said, "Of course not." ”

Yang Rui said: "So you have to plan ahead. ”

Octavian asked, "How is it planned?" ”

"Anthony is now stumbling over that Egyptian woman, and he will definitely return to Egypt immediately," Yang said. You can promise him everything, and even bring all the riches of Rome to Memphis to support Anthony's lavish life. As long as the city of Rome is in your hands, you will be the victor in the future! ”

As soon as Yang Rui finished speaking, Antony turned to Octavian and said, "I want to go back to Egypt in a few days." ”

Octavian glanced at Yang Rui and said, "You are gone, what will happen to the city of Rome?" ”

Anthony laughed and said, "With you, I have nothing to worry about." ”

Octavian asked, "Do you really believe me?" ”

Anthony nodded and said, "Of course! After all, we are an alliance. ”

Octavian thought for a moment and said, "Then tell me about your plans!" (To be continued.) )
