    Caesar and his Roman legions, who were invincible in the eyes of the Romans, finally began to march.

    Nelia's recovery made Caesar feel good. As for those barbarians, he didn't care at all.  Although he had to admit the stubborn resistance of the barbarians, even after suffering the first punishment from the Romans, they still did not give up the fight.

    However, when the Roman legions formed a neat formation, roared and launched an overwhelming attack, all resistance would disappear.

    And I will continue on the path of conqueror!

    A great cause and great glory are waiting for him ahead!

    In the Roman team, riding on two horses were Wang Weiyi and Richthofen.  To be honest, Richthofen is a nobleman in the traditional German sense. He has been learning equestrian skills since he was very young, so he is no stranger to horseback riding. However, Wang Weiyi is different.

    His title of nobility was conferred by His Majesty the German Emperor for his outstanding performance on the battlefield. Although he had ridden a horse, he was not as adaptable as Richthofen.

    ¡°Probably before this, Wang Weiyi had never thought that one day he would actually fight on a horse.  £®  £®  £®  £®  £®

    They used their own weapons and shields, which Caesar had seen before. They were so well made and sharp that they were far beyond the weapons used by Roman soldiers.  Regarding this, the best excuse Wang Weiyi gave was the weapons from the Eastern Han Empire.

    Caesar was convinced of this, and because of this, Caesar became more and more curious about the distant Eastern Empire.

    "Have you notified the Four Blades?" Richthofen asked in a low voice, looking around.

    "Notice, they should be ready with Germania." Wang Weiyi also lowered his voice: "Later tomorrow, Caesar will complete the rendezvous with Gaius' army. At this time the day after tomorrow, they  Will enter the ambush and be attacked by the Germans."

    No matter in terms of numbers, weapons, or the combat quality of the soldiers, the Germanians are far inferior to the Roman legions. The only thing they can count on now is their sturdiness and the suddenness of the attack.

    Richthofen suddenly discovered that Ernst did not seem to be worried about the upcoming battle at all, as if there was nothing in the world that could scare him.

    This feeling is really too familiar to Richthofen.  £®  £®  £®  £®  £®  What he can be sure of is that he must have fought side by side with Ernst.  £®  £®  £®  £®  £®

    The team was advancing slowly. Even when it was time to eat or camp at night, the Romans were still very vigilant. This valuable quality made it difficult for sneak attacks to succeed. This was also very important for the Roman legions to continue to win.  conditions of.

    At night, Caesar hosted a banquet for Ernst, Richthofen and Gaius, and then he couldn't wait to return to his tent to visit Nelia, who had not recovered from her illness.

    "The Governor cares too much about this woman" Returning to his tent, Gaius sighed: "I remember when I first followed the Governor, he was more concerned about his soldiers. But he ended  His life as a supreme governor changed a lot.

    From his words, it seems that he has a lot of opinions about Caesar.

    Wang Weiyi didn¡¯t know much about their relationship and didn¡¯t dare to interrupt rashly.  Gaius said at this time: "Ernst, what do the citizens of the Dalmatian province where you come from say about the Governor?"

    "A great conqueror." Wang Weiyi was satisfied with finding out the other party's true intention and said calmly: "Just like all the supreme consuls in Rome, all Roman citizens in the province of Dalmatia also worship Caesar.  ¡±

    "Ah, really." Gaius smiled faintly: "Yes, Caesar who has achieved countless successes never knows what failure feels like. Everyone is so insignificant in front of him."

    "Lord Gaius, you seem to want to say something else." Wang Weiyi said calmly.

    "Richthofen, you can go back and rest first." Gaius sent Richthofen away specially. When only he and Ernst were left here, Gaius spoke again:  "But you know, many people in the Senate have shown serious dissatisfaction with Caesar."

    "Oh, really?" Wang Weiyi said still very calmly: "I am in the province of Dalmatia. Please forgive my ignorance. I am not particularly clear about what happened in Rome.Chu.  "

    "Yeah, you don't know very well, but I can tell you." Gaius' behavior today was a bit abnormal: "Before attacking the Celtic barbarians, I received a letter from Rome. It was my wife.  You wrote it to me, would you like to know what was written in it?"

    "If you will tell me, then I will listen"

    Wang Weiyi's answer made Gaius very satisfied: "Yes, being good at listening is a necessary condition for a successful person. So, now I can tell you what happened in Rome. Caesar's power has grown stronger and stronger.  His military exploits were increasing, which must have threatened some people in Rome. £®In the letter, my wife told me some news about Caesar¡¯s strongest ally.  "

    Wang Weiyi was a little frightened when he heard this. Why did Gaius tell him all these things that were supposed to be top secrets among the top officials in Rome?

    But he did not show any abnormality, and continued to listen to Gaius: "Gaul has been conquered, and those barbarians are not our biggest threat. Maybe this time we can make them surrender completely.  But what will happen after this? How will the Senate and Pompey treat Caesar? What will happen to us people? Ernst, I have followed Caesar for a long time.  As early as when I was fighting against the Spartacus thugs, I was already following Caesar. We were still so young at that time, so many people knew about my friendship with Caesar, and they all knew that no matter what.  I am Caesar¡¯s most trustworthy friend.¡±

    Wang Weiyi now somewhat understands the purpose of Gaius looking for him today.  £®  £®  £®  £®  £®  But he suppressed such thoughts in his heart.  £®  £®  £®  £®  £®

    "I can do anything for Caesar, even die for Caesar" Gaius said slowly: "But, I have to think about my wife and children. They all  In Rome, if there is any problem with Caesar, it will inevitably involve us, and it will inevitably involve my family, so I am worried every day here.

    "Lord Gaius, is there anything I can do for you?" Wang Weiyi finally asked.

    In fact, he has already guessed why Gaius came to him today and why he said these things to himself that he should not have said in the first place.

    Sure enough, Gaius was silent for a while and then said: "What do you think you can do for me?"

    "Anything, as long as I can do it." Wang Weiyi said with a smile: "For example, I can spend a lot of money to bribe those powerful Romans to ensure that in a crisis, you and your family will not be harmed.  I can also be responsible for relocating you and your family to a safe place. £®

    "I'm afraid it's impossible to transfer them." Gaius sighed: "I have to tell you honestly, I owe a huge debt. Even if the people in the Senate are willing, I'm afraid my creditors won't  Agreed.¡±

    Wang Weiyi smiled, this was a common thing in Rome.

    In Rome, even the most powerful people did not have huge wealth.  Their sources of funds were limited, and military generals were able to quickly accumulate good wealth through various wars and plunder, but it was not enough to cope with their extravagant and luxurious life, so almost everyone was in debt.

    Even Caesar had such a downbeat career back then.

    Before Caesar left for Spain to take up his post as administrator, creditors came to seize his luggage. It was Crassus who guaranteed Caesar's huge debts.

    ¡°Otherwise, I¡¯m afraid Caesar will not have any future achievements.

    Even if the wealth obtained in the war may not all belong to those commanders.  For example, when attacking the Celtics, Gaius promised tens of thousands of sesterces, but he could not get these tens of thousands of sesterces at once. He had to divide them from the spoils after the war.  Fulfill his promise.

    Because often in a battle, not many of them fall into the hands of these commanders.

    It is precisely because of this that a rich man can easily gain respect and a large number of "friends" in Rome.

    "I think 30 Oris have helped you pay off those debts." Wang Weiyi said calmly.

    "What did you say?" When Gaius heard this, his tone changed:

    "Yes, 30 Oris." Wang Weiyi said very seriouslyReally nodded: "If necessary, I can take out some more."

    Gaius looked at the other person in disbelief. God, how much wealth does this young man standing in front of him have?

    Thirty Oris, in his mouth, are so worthless.

    "Please believe in my financial resources, Lord Gaius." Wang Weiyi completely ignored the other party's surprise: "As for the work in the Senate, I can also complete it. You can just stay here without worries."

    Shocked, grateful, relieved.  £®  £®  £®  £®  £®  All expressions were present on Gaius's face.

    To be honest, with his current identity and status, he should stay in Rome and enjoy life, but the heavy debt makes him unable to breathe at all.  Forcing him to continue to follow in Caesar's footsteps to complete new conquests, and then he could use those spoils to barely pay off some debts.

    And once something goes wrong with Caesar, his future and his family will be completely destroyed.

    But it just so happened that at this moment, this one was named Ernst.  Brahm's people appeared like saviors.  £®  £®  £®  £®  £®  Gaius had no idea how to express his gratitude.

    "You will be my lifelong friend." Gaius calmed down his excitement: "If you can really do everything you promised, I don't know how to express my inner gratitude. Tell me,  Whatever repayment you need, as long as it is within my power, I can do it.¡±

    "Look, I am a businessman, as you probably know" Wang Weiyi said calmly: "Any successful businessman will always make the most beneficial investment at the most suitable time.  Except, every time I spend, I always expect to get ten times or more in return.¡±

    Gaius understood immediately, but he seemed a little embarrassed: "I don't know what I can give you"

    "Don't worry, don't worry." Wang Weiyi comforted him with a smile: "What I'm thinking about now is not rewards, because the time has not come yet. What I want to do now is to help you gain a higher status. The bigger thing is,  If you can become the governor of a province, it will be of great help to you."

    Gaius¡¯s eyes lit up immediately.  God, a governor of a province, what a huge power that is, what a huge source of money will it be?  From now on, I no longer have to worry about those things.

    But then he hesitated, could this young businessman help him do all that?

    "Lord Gaius, I have some doubts." Wang Weiyi saw his thoughts: "Caesar became the supreme consul and served as governor of many places. His money continued to flow into his bag like water.  He can enjoy the best wine and the most beautiful women, but what about you? Did Caesar provide you with the necessary help when you needed it most?"

    Gaius shook his head in frustration.  £®  £®  £®  £®  £®

    When it came to dividing the spoils of war, Caesar was never stingy. He would generously let his subordinates with meritorious military exploits choose as they pleased, as long as their carriages could carry them.

    But outside the battlefield, Caesar would never use a sesterces to pay off any debts for his men.  In his opinion, the battlefield is a battlefield and life is life, and the two must not be confused together.

    In fact, there is nothing that Caesar can be blamed for doing this.

    But now that Wang Weiyi mentioned this point to Gaius, a different kind of emotion arose in his heart.

    "Look, I probably guessed it." Wang Weiyi said easily: "I noticed something particularly interesting. For all the victories, you can only get a small part of the credit, and most of the credit goes to  Regarding Caesar, I think this is unfair. For example, in your attack on the Celtics not long ago, you came to the battlefield in person regardless of the danger and almost died at the hands of the Celtics before completing it.  For the conquest of those barbarians, what did you gain?

    "Do you want to drive a wedge between me and Caesar?" Gaius stared at the other party.

    "No, why should I sow your relationship? What's in it for me?" Wang Weiyi shrugged: "I said that I am a businessman, and the businessman's first priority is to make profits, and you are my new  Investment object. If you are not willing to cooperate with me, you can kill me now or give me to Case."

    Gaius thought for a long time and finally sighed: "So can you tell me, how can I work with you?  "

    "It's not just about cooperating with me, it's more about yourself." Wang Weiyi knew that the other party had taken the bait: "Keith's reputation and wealth are completely pinned on his continuous victories. If he suffers several consecutive victories,  So what will Rome think of him? Who stands to gain the most from these defeats?

    "Youare you talking about me" Gaius asked without being particularly sure.

    "Is there anyone else besides you?" Wang Weiyi smiled: "You are the bravest commander under Caesar. You have created victory after victory for Caesar. No one is more qualified than you. Even I am willing to pay for it.  You compose a song of praise. But now I am more concerned with seeing Caesar fail!"

    Gaius was completely moved. The luxurious and debauched life in Rome had gradually made him lose himself. Only on the battlefield could he regain his blood. However, Wang Weiyi's words completely stirred up the secrets in his heart.

    "What should I do?" Gaius asked with difficulty.

    The smile on Wang Weiyi's face became even brighter: "I can pay a huge sum of money to buy some barbarians to launch an attack on Caesar's legion, and your troops can stay still and send troops to rescue Caesar when he is most in danger.  In this way, Caesar's undefeated myth will be shattered, and his prestige will be dealt a heavy blow, but you will be more respected by him for rescuing Caesar, which will also directly increase your reputation.  What do you think of my opinion?¡±

    Gaius was silent. He knew that people like Ernst could easily bribe a group of barbarians. After a long time, he slowly asked: "Can you ensure that Caesar's life is not harmed?  "

    Wang Weiyi said to him solemnly, "I can completely guarantee you this!"
