- Wang Weiyi knew that he could leave Rome again. He had completed his mission here.
And what about Caesar? How would this ambitious and arrogant man treat Rome who betrayed him?
The answer will soon be available.
Pompey sent the Senate's order to Caesar with the fastest and best knights as soon as possible. When Caesar received the Senate's order, as no one expected, his Anger cannot be expressed in words at all.
Although he was frustrated and annoyed by being defeated by barbarians several times, this time he was completely angry. £® £® £® £® £®
Caesar believed that he had done too much for Rome. Without him, there would not have been so many victories, let alone the Gallic province of the Roman Republic.
And now? Now they actually want to recall themselves!
Caesar knows better than anyone what recall means. He will never be able to return to Gaul, no longer be able to command his powerful legions to continue fighting, he will lose his freedom in life, and he will lose everything.
Especially power, this is the thing that Caesar can¡¯t bear to lose the most. £® £® £® £® £®
"Kaleni, what do you think?" Resisting his anger, Caesar asked coldly.
"I don't know, my most respected Governor" Kaleni knew the stakes too well, but the mystery behind it was not something he could guess at will.
"What about you, Gaius?" Caesar turned his attention to Gaius again.
"I don't know either, my Caesar." Gaius replied respectfully.
But at this time, Gaius had a vague idea of ??what was going on, Ernst. Brahm once said that Caesar will definitely encounter a terrible disaster, and that time will also be the moment to decide his fate. £® £® £® £® £®
He was fortunate to be able to recognize Ernst. Brahm, fortunately, he was able to stand on the right team, otherwise, his name must have been among the people recalled. £® £® £® £® £®
He made up his mind to get out of the central crisis as soon as possible no matter what, even if he fell out with Caesar.
"Aren't you willing to say it?" Caesar sneered: "Because none of you dare to disobey the orders of the Senate, and none of you are willing to offend the Senate. You are afraid that your future will be destroyed because of this, and you are afraid that you will be in Rome. My family will be implicated because of this, but have you ever thought that even if I do return to Rome and lose my asylum, will your future and family be able to be saved?¡±
Kaleni and other Caesar¡¯s men nodded involuntarily. They and Caesar were a whole and no one could leave the other. Once Caesar loses power, they will inevitably be implicated.
Of course, Gaius¡¯s name must be crossed out among these worried people. £® £® £® £® £®
"Caesar, we are willing to follow you and do anything." Kaleni seems to have made up his mind: "No matter what you want to do, I will always be by your side!"
"Yes, we will always be by your side." The rest of the people said together, even Gaius reluctantly expressed this attitude.
Caesar nodded with satisfaction: "Thank you, my friends, I promise you that I will do my best to ensure that you will not be implicated in the slightest. But before that, we must find out the Senate and Pompeo¡¯s real purpose.¡±
¡°The esteemed Caesar Mark Antony is here.¡±
At this moment, a report interrupted Caesar's thoughts, and his face suddenly showed joy: "Call Anthony in quickly."
When Antony appeared in front of Caesar, the governor of the Gallic province couldn't wait to say: "Antony, you just came back from Rome. No one knows the situation in Rome better than you. Come, tell me what happened in Rome." whats the matter?"
"A very terrible thing." Antony answered without any hesitation: "Pompeo instigated everything, and most of the senators were on Pompey's side. They were jealous of your great military exploits and your prestige. So they just found an excuse to bring you back to Rome, and then put you to death. As your relative and most loyal subordinate, I firmly oppose your return to Rome, where the despicable sword is waiting for you. arrival"
The room was quiet, no one spoke. £® £® £® £® £® They knew that the situation was very serious, but they did not expect that it would become this serious.
"Are you sure, Anthony?"After a long time, Caesar asked slowly.
"I can be sure, Caesar." Anthony nodded vigorously: "This is what Senator Splius told me."
"Congressman Splius, who is that? Why have I never heard his name?" I started to be a little curious, maybe it was because I had been away from Rome for too long.
"Theas Melius Splius, a young and promising senator, is also a person whom Pompey values ????very much" Antony quickly replied: "Caesar, although she You have gained the respect of Pompey, but I can see that he still respects you infinitely. He told me carefully about the crisis in Rome, and repeatedly asked me to tell you, you must not go back, there is a huge trap there. Waiting for you!"
Caesar was silent again. £® £® £® £® !
He must make a choice, obey the orders of the Senate and return to Rome, then he will lose everything he has from now on; or refuse to obey the orders of the Senate, then he will have to face a direct war with Rome !
What choice should be made? He looked at his subordinates and found that everyone was looking at him with extremely nervous eyes. He knew very well that he was their backbone and everything he did would have the most direct impact on them.
Caesar was silent, silent. After a long time, he slowly said: "My aunt Julia's family is the descendant of the emperor from the maternal side, and the descendants of the immortal god from the paternal side. Because Mal The family of Theus Lux can be traced back to Ancus Marcius, and the family of Julius can be traced back to Venus. Such reverence for a god to whom even kings are subject."
As soon as his subordinates heard these words, they immediately understood that this series of narratives meant the divine right of kings. Caesar was deifying himself, thinking that he was a descendant of the king and a descendant of God, paving the way for seizing the supreme rule in the future.
Caesar has decided not to return to Rome. £® £® £® £® £®
He took a deep breath: "I know what consequences will be waiting for me and you once I go back. I promised you that I will share wealth with you, but before that, I need you. Share the suffering with me. My friends, the bravest generals of Rome, will you follow me?"
"I do, Caesar!" Antony was the first to kneel on the ground and said in emotional words: "No matter what choice you make, I will be with you. No matter where you go, I will always be by your side. You can see Mark Anthony¡¯s figure, no matter what kind of enemy is in front of you, Mark Anthony will be the first to charge for you!¡±
Before Caesar had time to express his gratitude, he heard Kalleni say loudly: "No one has followed you longer than me. Why should Antony take away my glory? Caesar, I should be the one at the forefront. That¡¯s right!¡±
"Thank you to all my friends!" Caesar raised his voice in one confession of allegiance after another: "With you by my side, I will have nothing to fear.
¡°And you, Gaius, why don¡¯t you speak? Don't you want to be with me? "
Gaius calmed down his emotions: "Caesar, you misunderstood. Like Kaleni, I always follow you, but I must think more about you. If we leave here, it will be so barbaric What do people do? I¡¯m not sure they¡¯re going to give up on your best chance of not being here.¡±
Caesar and his generals found themselves facing this serious problem.
Yes, once they become powerful, what will happen to those barbarians? Judging from their current situation, they will launch a new round of attacks on Gaul without hesitation. Once the main force is taken away by Caesar, the remaining people will not be able to withstand the attack from the barbarians.
"You raise a problem that gives me a headache, my friend, but I thank you for giving me a headache like this." Caesar hesitated: "Gaius, if I order you to stay here, you can make the barbarians feel Are you afraid and will you defend Gaul for me?"
"I cannot make the barbarians fear me, nor can I defend the entire Gaul with the strength of one legion." Gaius said matter-of-factly.
Caesar did not blame him. With so many troops unable to stop the barbarians, how could it be possible by relying on him alone?
No one among his subordinates is willing to stand up. Even the bravest Gaius is afraid. Do others think they are braver than Gaius?
Caesar suddenly smiled: "In that case, weJust negotiate with the barbarians. "
"What? Negotiating with barbarians?" Everyone shouted.
This was incredible to the Romans. Should the noble Romans lower their noble heads to meet the unreasonable demands of the barbarians?
"Caesar, we will never negotiate with the barbarians." Antony said angrily: "I brought my own legion, and I will launch the most ferocious attack on the barbarians and let them stay on the other side of the Rhine. , let them understand their identity!¡±
"Anthony, I admire your courage and have no doubt about your desire for victory, but you underestimate the barbarians too much." Caesar sighed: "At least under the current circumstances, we are incapable of defeating the barbarians. If If both sides fight at the same time, we will get nothing. We can only fail, and then either Pompey will chop off our heads, or the barbarians will chop off our heads. "
Anthony opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he still didn't say anything.
Yes, my time here is indeed too short. £® £® £® £® £®
Caesar looked at his men calmly: "Then, who is willing to take on the responsibility of negotiating with the barbarians?"
No one answered him. If these people were to go to the battlefield and die for Caesar, most of them would not hesitate at all, but negotiating with the barbarians was another problem.
Not only is this a dangerous mission, but no one knows what the consequences will be in the future.
If Caesar could gain face against Rome, their move would be remembered as a heroic feat and forever remembered in history. But what if it fails? Not only did they become traitors to Rome, but the stain of bowing to the barbarians would bring shame to their families that could never be washed away!
Caesar was slightly disappointed. When his eyes fell on Gaius, Gaius finally said: "If you really don't have a more suitable candidate, then I am willing to take on this responsibility for you."
"Gaius, my most trustworthy friend." Caesar was overjoyed: "Don't worry, I will never forget everything you did to me, and your loyalty will also be rewarded with my most loyal loyalty!"
Until this time, Caesar still didn¡¯t know that Gaius had actually betrayed him. Everything he did was for himself. £® £® £® £® £®
Gaius was also thinking about what he should do. Negotiating with barbarians is actually negotiating with Ernst. Brahm is just negotiating, there is no danger. But what should I do next?
Gaius is still unable to answer himself, maybe Ernst. Brahm will make proper arrangements. £® £® £® £® £®
"Then, while Gaius is negotiating with the barbarians, prepare all the legions!" Caesar's voice rang in everyone's ears: "Let those in Rome know what will happen if they betray us. Horrible punishment!"
Caesar has made up his mind, and he firmly believes that victory will belong to him!
He asked most of his generals to prepare, leaving only Kaleni and Anthony, his closest confidants, and then asked lightly: "What do you think?"
Anthony and Caraini looked at each other, and neither one knew how to answer.
Finally, it was Caesar himself who said: "I fought in Gaul for almost less than ten years, but I swept more than 800 cities, conquered 300 peoples, and fought for a long time at different times with a total of 3 million soldiers. In the battle, one million enemies were directly eliminated in hand-to-hand combat, and far more people were captured. In the whole of Rome, no one made a greater contribution to Rome than me!¡±
Having said this, he paused briefly and continued: "And I have 10 battle-hardened, well-disciplined legions who are willing to fight with me anywhere. Such a power, even if the entire Rome combined, I don't have it. Huge. Did they think of this when the Senate decided to betray me? No, they didn't. They naively thought that I would do whatever they asked, without resistance or different voices, but they did. I forgot one thing, I am Caesar!¡±
They forgot to read one thing - I am Caesar!
When he said these words, Anthony and Kaleni felt inspired as never before.
They believe that as long as they follow such a commander, the final victory will definitely belong to them!
Caesar then asked again: "Antony, tell me, have any outstanding generals appeared in Rome?"
"There is one, that is Pompey's adopted son Jaculius." An.Neni quickly replied: "He performed very well in the battle with the Parthians, but he lost to a man, Servius, at the Poseidon Festival!"
"Servius?" Caesar's expression turned serious: "Has Servius started to show his face again?"
He was still a little afraid of Servius. Servius had made great military exploits for Rome. Caesar, who was still the consul of Rome at that time, was jealous of Servius's military exploits and dismissed him. Caesar has always believed that this person is the only one worthy of being his opponent.
"Yes, Servius." Anthony answered very definitely: "Servius not only defeated Jaculius at the Poseidon Festival, but also regained the power to command the legion. His legion will soon be Arrived in Gaul to share power with you."
"Then, let's defeat the Servius Army first!" Caesar immediately made up his mind: "This man is very good at fighting and has great commanding skills. I also know Pompey's purpose. He wants me to fight with him. Only by losing both sides can he gain the greatest benefit.¡±
"Caesar, please appoint me as the forward." Anthony said excitedly: "I admit that Servius can fight, but will I lose to him? If you cannot agree to my request, then this will be regarded as a shame. I will even commit suicide to wash away this shame!"
"Antony, apart from you, I will not appoint a second person to be my forward force!" Caesar patted Anthony on the shoulder: "I just said that I have ten legions, but in fact I was wrong, I should Counting you, I have eleven legions, and you will bring me the greatest glory! And of course, you, my friend, will be the first to enter Rome for me!¡±
"That would be our pleasure, Caesar!" Anthony and Kalleni said together.
Caesar was not worried about Pompey and the guys in the Senate, he was only worried about the barbarians on the other side of the Rhine. Will they be willing to negotiate? Can Gaius complete the mission he has given him? If the barbarians refuse to negotiate, what should they do?
Caesar does not want these things that he is worried about to appear. He must eliminate all hidden dangers before the decisive battle! - Didn't finish reading?
