    After taking the city of Massilia, Vanius suddenly felt like he didn't know what to do next.

    Originally, according to his plan, he should leave the field legions to guard the Alpine passes and completely cut off the Romans' overland access to Gaul. Then he would personally lead the Guards and Servants into Spain to fight with Caesar.  .

    But now, after he had occupied the city of Massilia and the Romans had not yet responded, Vanius could not help but start to hesitate.

    You know, Spain is a famous ghost place with complex and rugged terrain, impassable roads, and fierce folk customs. It has always been known as the European quagmire.

    Historically, both the Romans and later the French were stuck in a quagmire and could not extricate themselves. Rome began to invade Spain in 218 BC, but it was not until 206 BC that Scipio completed the invasion of Spain.  The conquest took a total of 12 years; then, when Sulla died and the democrats broke out, the democrats entrenched in Spain not only resisted Pompey for five years, but even defeated Pompey until he could not be found.  North; and later French Emperor Napoleon's war against Spain fully proved Spain's cheating.

    Therefore, at the beginning, Vanius gave advice to the Pompeians and suggested that they go to Spain to develop, in order to fully plunge Caesar into the Spanish quagmire.  But the Pompeii faction was too weak and was defeated by Caesar in a few strokes - in this way, Spain became the home court of the Romans again - and whether to lead the army to Spain to fight Caesar, Vannius  I couldn't help but mutter.

    Before time travel, I was a half-hearted history buff.  He knew a little bit about everything, but knew nothing about Spain. What Vanius knew about Spain was limited to the Pyrenees, matadors, and flamenco, as well as the history of the big city where whoever entered would be unlucky.  Quagmire.

    What¡¯s even more deceptive is.  Currently, there is no one in the Praetorian Guards under Vannius who can discuss such a major matter with him.  The old men in the Germanic Kingdom who could discuss with him all presided over daily affairs in the Germanic Youth Commune.  And he was worried about the many allies who accompanied the army.

    With such hesitation, Vanius stayed in Massilia for an additional five days.

    On the sixth day, Roman warships appeared outside the harbor of Massilia.

    However, what reassured everyone was that the warships did not move into the port.  Instead, he sent a team of envoys and asked to see Vannius by name.

    Such a request immediately made the Massilians breathe a sigh of relief - no matter what, as long as they are not here to come.

    As a result, it didn¡¯t take long.  Vanius was informed that a group of Massilian deputies, surrounded by several Romans, had come to see him.

    Hearing the news, Vanius was relieved - no matter what, he could wait until he met the Roman envoy before making a decision.

    So Vanius ordered to welcome the Roman envoy.

    but.  This time, it was obvious that the Romans did not have any good feelings toward Vannius.

    The Roman named Magnus rebuked Vannius¡¯s treachery with righteousness and anger, and expressed strong condemnation and protest against Vannius¡¯s daring to invade the Roman province.  Finally a warning was given - unless Vannius could immediately withdraw his troops and make amends for his crimes.  Otherwise, the Roman army would inevitably bleed the stupid Germanic barbarians into rivers of blood.

    At the beginning, Vanius was still patiently listening to the other party¡¯s nagging.

    After listening to it for a while, I found that it had no nutrition at all.  Vanius lost his patience and directly asked the other party whether he was sent by the nursing home or Caesar.

    Unfortunately, although there are countless talents in Rome, this one is obviously not the kind of person with a bright mind - it seems that due to the majestic reprimanding of the enemy chief before, but the other party's silent state, Maggo  Nuss had a misunderstanding, and it seemed that it was because there was a strong Roman fleet behind him as a strong backing. This person still did not understand Vannius's attitude.

    Therefore, after hearing that Vannius was so rebellious that he turned the Senate into a nursing home, Magnus became furious and sternly rebuked Vannius for his vulgarity and arrogance - he dared to slander Rome.  Legal ruler.

    Then, Vanius, who had completely lost interest, knocked the opponent down with one punch, and then put his bare hands on the six guards beside him. The Massilians who came with him were frightened, and they sat down on Magnus' back.  He got a small dagger from the guard and cut off the first knuckle of Magnus's little finger, who was still scolding him.

    Ten fingers connected to the heart.  Under the surprised gaze of a group of Massilians, Magnus's curses immediately turned into howls.

      Signaling the guards to hold down the Roman guards, Vanius ignored Magnus's miserable howl and expressionlessly cut off the second knuckle of the injured little finger.

    He did it expressionlessly, allowing the Roman envoy to experience the pain of having his fingers connected to his heart for a while, before Vanius spoke again.

    The question remains the same - are you sent by the nursing home or by Caesar?

    This time, Magnus was much smarter, and before Vanius cut off his third knuckle, he tremblingly replied - Caesar is still in Spain, and he was sent by the Senate.

    This question satisfied Vannius, so Vanius took something out of the leather bag beside him and stuffed it into his mouth, chewed it for a while, spit it out, and put it on Magnus's wound¡ª  - This made the Roman envoy scream again - but then, the Romans noticed a cool feeling coming from the wound, and it seemed to be less painful.

    So, Vanius¡¯s second question came¡ªwhat¡¯s the situation in Asia Minor?

    This question made Magnus hesitate for a while.

    Then, Vanius misunderstood.

    Then, accompanied by screams, Magnus once again lost a section of his little finger - that is to say, he no longer had a little finger on his left hand.

    Vanius repeated his question again.

    Facing such a domineering guy, Magnus completely lost his moral integrity and told everything he knew while trembling.

    First of all, after learning that Lucullus was rebelling, Caesar's lieutenant immediately led his army to conquer Lucullus, and was later defeated.

    Originally, the Senate was preparing to mobilize troops from Syria and Greece at the same time to attack Lucullus and suppress the rebels.

    But Vanius jumped out "in time" and attacked the Roman province.

    In this way, Rome suddenly became surrounded by enemies on three sides - almost all barbarians in the north, the remnants of Pompeii in the west, and new opponents in the east.

    The remnants of Pompey in the west were insignificant and were already facing Caesar's crusade; although the people in the east were against Caesar, they were Roman's own people after all, and they were forced to fight back because of the attack. Peace talks were not impossible - only in the north  The Germanic barbarians, as well as those Gauls who had renewed their rebellion against Rome, were enemies that had to be destroyed.

    So, after careful consideration and without Caesar's permission, Caesar's lieutenant general who was in charge of staying in Rome made a difficult decision after discussing with the senators - to surrender Lucullus.

    Magnus did not know how the Roman envoy persuaded Lucullus.  But in any case, the envoy fulfilled his mission and made Lucullus content to keep his actual control area in Asia Minor and not go south or westward. At the same time, Lucullus also promised that he would do whatever he could to protect his country when necessary.  It was time to extend a helping hand to the Syrian region to resist possible Parthian attacks.

    And shortly after the Roman envoys brought back the news that Lucullus agreed to maintain peace, the Massilians also sent a messenger to explain to the Romans their position of having to surrender.

    After hearing these words, several Massilia members around him looked at Vannius in fear - but Vanius just let Magnus continue speaking with an expressionless face.

    So, Magnus continued talking obediently - after hearing that Vannius had not only defeated the Arologese, but also marched into Massilia, the senators suddenly panicked - what if  Vannius used the city of Massilia as his base and landed directly across the sea in Rome. The senators might have had to escape from Rome again.

    In order to avoid landing on Rome, the senators immediately assembled a fleet of more than twenty triremes from Italian ports and Sicily to Massilia - although they could not recapture Massilia  The city can at least destroy Massilia's fleet and prevent the Germans from landing operations.

    Hearing the news, the Massilians were shocked - you know, in addition to warships, there were also a large number of fishing boats and merchant ships in Massilia - it was obvious that the Romans' purpose was to destroy all ships.

    At this moment, the messengers rushed in from outside again and reported to Vannius that they saw cries and firelights on the other side of the city of Massilia.

    After receiving this news, more than one of the Massilians sat down on the ground with pale faces, and even the captured Romans turned pale - under normal circumstances, as envoys, they should be protected and enjoy immunity.  But if they launch an attack while they are still negotiating, it will definitely cost their lives - you know, those who command the fleet on the ship don't knowThis would be the scene in Daovanius's tent.

    However, Vanius didn't care at all, and asked the question he was most concerned about at the moment - how is Caesar currently in Spain, and where are the veteran legions who fought with Caesar, such as the Tenth Legion.

    This time, before Magnus could even hesitate, the dagger in Vanius' hand had already cut off one of Magnus' knuckles again.
