Anthony shook his glass, cleared his mind and said, "I hate the weather in Rome, the sun in Memphis always makes me happy, so Egypt is the perfect place for me to live." And, Cleopatra has been complaining that there is no palace for the two of us to live in, so I want to ......"

Octavian interrupted Antony's words and said, "You can rest assured that after the raid of the homes of the three hundred councilors, all the property obtained will be transported to Egypt, which is my respect for you and Cleopatra, and if it is not enough, just tell me, I will give you the greatest support." ”

"Really?" Antony did not expect Octavian to have such an attitude, and he was somewhat unconvinced of the promises he heard.

Octavian nodded seriously and said, "Of course it's true, are we an alliance?" ”

"Besides......" Octavian thought for a moment and said, "since we have been given the leadership of Rome, then I have an idea, I wonder if you are interested?" ”

Anthony said with interest: "Say it, I'll listen." ”

Octavian said: "With the central line of the Mediterranean Sea as the boundary, all the southern lands of the whole north and south of the republic, including Jerusalem and Damascus, are under your rule, and the affairs of the north are under my control. ”

When Antony heard this, his eyes lit up, and he almost exclaimed, "You have given me the richest land in Rome." Egypt and North Africa, where is it simply a treasury, are you willing to give it up? ”

Octavian took Antony's hand and said, "You deserve it." ”

Antony laughed, all his requests were met, but in his delight, he did not see that Octavian had a sharp sword hidden deep in his eyes.

A few days later, Antony went to Egypt with a large amount of wealth, and although he took half of the Roman legions with him, the number of troops left to Octavian was still considerable.

At this time, the city of Rome belonged to Octavian alone, and he could do whatever he wanted.

First of all, he reconstituted the Senate, and of course the new members of the Senate were all subservient to him, and his own will could be promulgated by the Senate in a step-by-step manner to achieve his own goals.

In order to consolidate the war-torn northern border, he signed an armistice with the Germans, ceding large areas of northern forests to the Germans, not as a surrender or a compromise, but because Octavian knew he had more important things to do.

When the fighting on the northern frontier subsided, a large number of legionnaires were transferred to Naples to assemble and train more rigorously, ready to go to war again for Octavian's will.

The soldiers' momentum was high, because at the suggestion of Yang Rui, Octavian completely solved the worries of these veterans who had been fighting for many years, and they all received land and property without retiring from the army, and Octavian, like Caesar, promised to give half of all the property to the soldiers and the other half to the other half of the conquered areas not ruled by the Roman Republic, and this promise allowed the young man to quickly gain the support of the Roman army.

While Antony and Cleopatra were living happily in love, Octavian was on the move, putting down the rebellion in the Iberian Peninsula and taking the peninsula firmly in his own hands, and he also carried out a powerful diplomatic offensive against Greece and Cleopatra, two powerful enemies in the East, and under the pressure of money and army, the Greek Commonwealth and the countries of the Persian region also recognized Octavian's rule over Rome.

At the dinner after the signing of the agreement, Octavian, while watching the emissaries of various countries talking happily, said to Yang Rui: "As you say, I have completed all the tasks you have assigned me in five years, so what is the next step?" ”

"Cleopatra has already given birth to offspring for Antony, and this benevolent father has unilaterally declared that all the land south of Sicily will be handed over to these children for inheritance," Yang said. Also, as far as I know, Antony has always wanted to attack and rest, and Cleopatra has prepared for him an army of 150,000 men and enough gold. What do you think will be the next step? ”

Octavian pondered for a moment and said, "I need to support Antony until the power of Rome is fully consolidated." ”

Yang Rui nodded and said, "Very wise idea, in a few days Antony's envoy will arrive in Rome, asking you to provide enough legions to support him in attacking and resting." ”

Octavian looked at Yang Rui seriously and asked, "You don't know, who are you?" ”

Yang Rui smiled and said, "I'm here to help you." ”

Octavian said, "I hope so." ”

Yang Rui said: "A series of victories will make Anthony lose himself, and God must first make him crazy before he dies!" And you, Octavian, must remain calm, at this time the scales of victory have not yet tipped in your favor, and you still have a long way to go. ”

A year later, with the help of his lover Cleopatra, Antony successfully defeated the Empire of Sabbation and conquered the beautiful and rich region of Armenia.

He held a grand procession in the Egyptian capital, in which he announced that he would divide the provinces of Rome among himself and the children born to Cleopatra. But none of this matters.

The only fact that shocked all the Romans was that Caesar and Cleopatra had a boy named Caesarian. Anthony released a message without authorization, canonizing Caesarian as Caesar's only acknowledgement.

The news soon reached rainy Rome, and Octavian, feeling that his position was most seriously threatened, called Yang Rui and asked, "What should I do?" It was Caesar's own flesh and blood. ”

Yang Rui smiled and said, "That's just a child, and the power of Rome is in your hands." Moreover, Antony has gone mad, and he has become king of kings in Egypt, which is a blatant challenge, and it is time for him to be destroyed. ”

Octavian said: "But Antony occupies all of Egypt, and has no less than 15 Roman legions in his hands, and with the full support of that bitch, I don't know if I will be able to defeat him." ”

"Caesar wasn't sure enough to rule Rome when he crossed the Rubicon, but he did!" It's all about action, go for it, my child! Victory is yours. ”

Octavian stood in front of the window and looked out of the city of Rome and said quietly: "At this time I miss my life at home, there is no trouble, only happiness." ”

Yang Rui said: "All this is your own choice, you choose to be extraordinary, you have to bear such pressure, and even the threat of death." ”

Octavian nodded and said, "All this is my choice, and I will definitely be able to bear it." (To be continued.) )
