    When Yang Rui returned to the Western Continent, it was experiencing the baptism of severe cold. The vast land was filled with snowflakes. It was the coldest time of the year. On the hills, a huge military camp appeared in sight.  Inside, the Roman eagle flag looked particularly dazzling under the iron-gray sky. Countless tents were neatly located on the withered grassland, and curls of smoke were spreading in the cold and humid air. Yang Rui came to the ground and turned into  A Roman centurion, wearing armor and a Roman dagger hanging from his waist, strode into the military camp. The atmosphere in the military camp was silent at this time. Every face Yang Rui saw was filled with helplessness and depression.  Walking through the huge camp, thinking about the tallest tent in the center. This large tent is made of bison hides and looks extremely strong and heavy. The door curtain is sewn with bearskin, blocking all the wind and snow. The guards at the door  Seeing Yang Rui come in, he stood there dumbfounded. Still, this stranger strolled into the big tent. The tent was warm and cozy. There was a map of Gaul on the huge walnut table, which was filled with soldiers.  Model, judging from the situation, the Roman legion has surrounded the last stronghold of the Gauls. And in the innermost part of the tent, beside the fire that was waiting for a while, there was a person lying on the comfortable soft bed, with short chestnut hair.  Close to the scalp, the high cheekbones showed the vicissitudes of time, but a pair of eyes were extremely alert, staring straight at the top of the tent in a daze. Hearing footsteps, the man glanced at Yang Rui and asked, "You  Who is it? Who asked you to come in?" After saying that, the man picked up a dagger from the side and glared at Yang Rui who was gradually walking in. Yang Rui calmly picked up the wine bottle from the shelf and gave it to him.  He poured himself a glass of sparkling wine and drank it in one gulp. The man asked: "Centurion, answer my question. Do you know what kind of punishment you will suffer if you break into my tent like this?"  After Yang Rui drank the wine, he glanced at the man with a smile and said, "What? Are there any worries that are troubling you?" The man jumped out of bed and pointed a dagger at Yang Rui in a more serious tone.  Asked: "I ask you again, who are you?" Yang Rui said: "Is the brave Caesar still afraid of the threat of a centurion?" Caesar was stunned and looked straight at Yang Rui's peaceful face, as if  Seeing no hostility, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I've never seen you. You're not from my legion. Pompeii sent you here?" Yang Rui said, "Of course not, I don't represent anything.  Faction, I only represent myself." Caesar asked again: "Is it possible that you brought the order of the Senate to announce the removal of my military power?" Yang Rui said: "Why are you so afraid of these empty documents?  "Is it effective?" Caesar scratched his head, put down the dagger, and poured himself a glass of wine. He looked a little frustrated and said: "What can I do? The army does not belong to me. It belongs to the Roman Republic. The Senate has  "You have the right to remove my military power and let anyone replace me, even a fool." Yang Rui said: "Why not make the army your own?"  "Hearing this, Caesar looked at Yang Rui doubtfully and asked: "Who are you?  Yang Rui smiled and poured another glass of wine for Caesar and said, "I'm here to help you." "Help me?"  "Caesar didn't believe what Yang Rui said. Yang Rui smiled and paced back and forth in the tent and said loudly: "Caesar, a hero in the eyes of the Roman Republic and a great man respected by the people, fought consecutively on the battlefield in Gaul. Ordinarily,  Now is the time to achieve success and fame, but he is cowering here. He has clearly surrounded the enemy, but he is still unwilling to take action. He is afraid that after the war is won, he will be penniless." Caesar was a little frustrated. He shook his head and said, "I  What can be done? Countless pioneers in Roman history were like this, and I am no exception." Yang Rui asked: "Why no exception?  "Caesar asked: "What do you mean?  " Yang Rui said: "I think every time you enter the city of Rome, you will realize the greatness and glory of this city, and you will also feel resentful of the power held by Rome. But you can get all of this, why not give it a try?  "Try it?" Caesar said to himself: "Try it?"  Yang Rui said: "Yes, give it a try. If you eliminate the Gauls step by step, then the moment the war ends is also the moment you return, and all your twenty years of efforts will be in vain."  The parliamentarians, including your good friend Pompeii, are not willing to see a heavily armed Caesar coveting the land of the Italian Peninsula north of Rome." What he said made Caesar a little moved. He said: "But it's still me.  just"That sentence, the Roman legions are under the jurisdiction of the Republic, and I have no right to let them participate in unplanned actions." Yang Rui smiled and said: "It's the same sentence I just said, why not turn these soldiers into loyal people to you?  Where is the army?" Caesar snorted and said, "How is this possible?  " Yang Rui said: "Why is it impossible?" Caesar asked: "Then how to do it?  " Yang Rui said: "Look outside, those soldiers have been exhausted after many years of war, and the fate waiting for them is the same as yours. After the war is over, although they have escaped the threat of death, what is waiting for them?  They have nothing, they are all compulsory soldiers, and after the war is over, they will return to their hometowns. Maybe their wives in their hometowns have been abducted long ago, and their land has been occupied by their neighbors. What awaits them will be poverty and hunger. No wonder they all have such expressions on their faces.  "Sad face" Caesar nodded in agreement and said: "Please continue, my friend" Yang Rui continued: "You have been fighting in Gaul for more than ten years and plundered a lot of wealth, which is exactly what your soldiers need.  Wealth, why not distribute it to them, and promise them land, sign a contract, and never regret it?" "But all that wealth belongs to the Republic." Caesar said plausibly. Yang Rui laughed and said, "Come on, you have to be generous.  My dear Caesar, when the wealth is dispersed and people's hearts are restored, are you afraid that you won't get much wealth by then?  " Seeing that Caesar was still hesitating, Yang Rui continued: "What these soldiers live and die for is to get wealth, and you can give them this. If you do it, the twenty Roman legions in Gaul will be loyal to them.  When you get there, this will be your qualification to negotiate with the Roman Senate, and even your ability to realize your ideals in the future, don¡¯t you think?¡± These words made Caesar¡¯s blood boil, and he was a little impatient, but his reason allowed him to recover.  Calmly, he said: "If I do that, I will be an enemy of Rome. No one will forgive me, and everyone will turn against me." Yang Rui said: "Then kill those who oppose you, and the rest will  The next one is the one who agrees and loves you." Looking at Caesar's expression, Yang Rui finally said: "Then let's start with the Gaul enemies in front of you." To be continued)q
