Augustus Road

The husband sitting next to her did not answer directly, "Yulia, everyone has the wisdom and means to survive in this troubled world, and they also have the luck to avoid disasters. When you were burdened with heavy debts and wanted to sell, When you were a slave at home, didn't I show up at the right time to save you? As for Little Pigeon, he survived by drinking dirty water in a warehouse full of dead people until the moment I went to save him. Even Heibrida was like this. All the characters have plans, so you have to believe that my good daughter will not become a lonely she-wolf like Adiana.”

After saying that, the couple sleepily hugged each other on the shoulder seats, enjoying the warmth of the autumn sunshine, and slowly headed towards the city of Cordoba.

In the end, the four legions left by Lepidus to control Spain were the Thirteenth Legion, the Nineteenth "Isthmian Legion", the Twenty-first Legion sent by Antony, and the Twenty-seventh Legion of Combano. The commander-in-chief was Pater. Nieus, the deputy general is Combano, a Malaysian bandit who is familiar with the local customs. In addition, Lepidus demobilized some of the previously captured Spanish barbarian soldiers, and distributed the rest to Odacus and Bratias, who had performed well in the previous battles, and personally drew a line in Iberia. The two territories made them and Combano the "Quarterly Territory Monarchs" together. So before setting off, Lepidus and his wife Yulia held a banquet in the city of Corduba and entertained everyone who stayed. Or the generals who would accompany the high priest on his expedition.

"During Catiline's turmoil, I followed you on the expedition. Now you are my chief lieutenant. After so many years of hard work, all tasks have been completed perfectly. So I am the first to salute you with this glass of wine." At the banquet. Lepidah and everyone were sitting around a large dining table. The couches were arranged in a centripetal pattern, and the first person he proposed a toast to was Petnaeus. This veteran general had always been responsible for coordination and logistics in strategic operations, and now he was also in charge of the Spanish governor. The priest asked him this question, "So in the coming year. Do you want to be my second consul?"

After these words came out, the generals and staff present began to show complicated expressions. You must know that the seat of the Chief Consul is no longer in doubt, so his assistant, the Second Consul, is the competition position that everyone aims to win. .

At this time, Petnaeus calmly finished his drink, as if he had seen through the ups and downs of life, "I am already close to sixty years old, and if I continue to be the consul, I will only make others laugh at my old age. It is an important position. So if the high priest still thinks that I have the ability to control the army, just appoint me as the governor of Lusitania, and I will guard the border for the high priest for a few more years."

After hearing this, the high priest was very moved. He announced on the spot that Petnaeus would be the governor of Lusitania for five years in the coming year. His salary would be the highest among all governors, five hundred thousand ce per year. Stacey, and had eight fascist followers with beams to clear the way. In addition, he also held a position in the priesthood of the city of Rome, and his person was sacred and inviolable.

The old general expressed his sincere gratitude to the high priest for his generosity. Then he turned around and deliberately said to everyone, "In the future, the republic will no longer be a competition between two consuls and a few legal officers. There are so many high-power departments in the Executive Yuan." , will be a place where talents can show their strengths. These emerging public offices will be much more glorious and pragmatic than the original alderman and tribune, and their terms will be much longer. In the future, everyone will not have to devote their energy to Instead of spending time on the annual campaign, you can concentrate on your duties and contribute to the country and the people." This sentence was obviously meant for this group of generals who longed for glorious ranks, because Petnaeus deeply understood it. I fully understand that during the conquest, because there are spoils of war, everyone will work hard towards the same goal, but it is rare that after the world's conquest is over, there is an issue about the distribution of meritorious deeds - so Petnaeus's words are very clear, that is, in the high priest In the new official hierarchy set up, everyone will have a suitable position, whether in the capital or locally.

"Let us work together for the Republic!" Lepidus took the opportunity to raise his wine glass high, and everyone responded. The entire banquet soon entered a cheerful rhythm again, with harps, drums and dances once again surrounding people.

"Immediately I led the legion of Lius to Sardinia by sea, and then General Thecydelius led the rest of the legion to march from the Pyrenees Mountains along the coastline of Nebo Gaul. We strive to Two months later, the assembly was completed under the city of Rome." In the music, Lepidus made arrangements for military operations.

At this time, the commander of the Sixth Legion, Angandinus, stood up with a somewhat displeased expression, covered his chest and suggested to the high priest, "Your Excellency, the Consul, the Sixth Legion is for you and your wife in Sasha." The legion of sons recruited by Dinnia personally is the most trusted by you, not to mention that the temporary destination of your trip happens to be this island. If you follow this marching route, your sons will be thrown away between Spain and Gaul. If we go there with the new legions recruited from Cyrene, this will undoubtedly cool down the enthusiasm and loyalty of the soldiers of the Sixth Legion. "

Lepidus laughed and said, okay, I respect Angandinus's proposal, and I will take the Sixth Legion with me on this voyage!

"For the glory of the high priest, for the glory of King Numa!" A few days later, at the port of Ossetani, ships with sails were lined up, and the high priest himself and the guards were surrounded by more than 5,000 "horses" Celia", with the shouts of the soldiers of the legion, they boarded the deck of the leading ship and set sail towards Sardinia.

At the same time, in front of the port of Lilibi, Leo stood on the dock, wrapped in a dark and rough cloak. Next to him was the Lusitanian guard with a sword, and in front of him was the provincial envoy Marcus. , together with fleet commanders Macmillan and Maximus, twin army commander Trureas, and naval engineering director Gable, "Everyone, I have to regret to inform you that this time you are not the former The one who came to see me off was to join my father at the Manor of Ofelenus in Sardinia - to discuss the previous mutiny of some groups of the Twin Legion. "

Although Leo's words were very gentle, there was no doubt that everyone present, especially Marcus, knew in their hearts that the muddy waters in this rebellion were extremely deep. The abbreviation of "jl" What kind of turmoil, no, even an earthquake, will the oath bring to the entire country's evidence?

"Yes, we will all promise to make a true and valid oath in front of the high priest!" Malclus and the others replied almost in unison.

"If this is the case, my father and I will be grateful." Leo showed his white teeth and smiled. (To be continued...)
