    After listening to Yang Rui's words, Caesar picked up the helmet on the shelf and walked out of the tent, and said: "No matter who you are, you are here to help me. You are my friend. Come with me!" Yang Rui followed Caesar and left.  In the tent, the Gallic governor ordered his men to bring in two war horses.  He and Yang Rui mounted their horses and left the military camp.  In the very center of the hilly area is the last fortress of the Gauls. This fortress has been surrounded by 100,000 Roman legions, but the strong Gauls are still holding on, without any intention of retreating.  Caesar urged his horse to reach the high slope, looked at the towering fortress and the Roman military camps surrounding it, sighed and said: "This is the last stronghold of the Gauls here. I have been besieging it for four months.  "Yang Rui said: "You don't want this war to end prematurely." "That's because I haven't figured out the next plan yet."  "I have pointed out the way for you, you can give the attack order." Caesar was silent for a while, then resolutely walked down the high slope and came to the front.  The front line was crowded with dirty-looking Roman soldiers. They all sat on the grass and ate unpalatable military rations. When they saw the commander-in-chief Caesar appeared in front of them, they all had expressions on their faces and no trace of respect in their eyes.  Caesar looked at this group of demoralized soldiers and shouted: "Great Roman soldiers, I know that you are exhausted to the extreme, but right in front of you is the last fortress of our enemy. I assure you that after the victory in the war, the high morale will be high."  All the wealth of Lu will be given to you, so that you can return home with gold coins that you can¡¯t carry! This is my solemn promise to you, Caesar!¡± When the Roman soldiers heard Caesar¡¯s words, they almost didn¡¯t believe their ears.  They didn't cheer.  They whispered to each other, thinking that Caesar in front of them was joking with them again.  Caesar continued to say solemnly: "Please believe me, the generous Caesar will distribute every gold coin of Gaul to you! This is my oath!" After saying that, Caesar urged his horse forward and waved his dagger to kill a side of the Senate.  The flag was cut into two pieces.  Suddenly, a burst of cheers broke out in the military formation, and all the soldiers shouted: "Long live Caesar, great commander!" It was also the first time for Caesar to face such cheers, and he seemed particularly excited.  At this time, there was movement in the Gauls' fortress.  The gate of the fortress opened, and countless women and children poured out.  The Roman soldiers quickly arranged their battle lines under the organization of the generals, fearing that the Gauls would play some tricks.  A total of 30,000 women and children rushed to the Roman front, but their steps were stopped by Roman daggers.  A centurion asked: "Where are you going?" A Gallic woman who spoke Roman shouted: "We are all women and children, please let us go. There is no food in the city. Our hands  Lysippus agreed to our departure, and all the men will fight you to the end!¡± The news soon reached Caesar, and he turned to Yang Rui and asked: ¡°What should I do with these 30,000 women and children?¡±  Rui said calmly: "Kill them all!" "Kill them all?" Caesar was surprised and asked: "Why is this? They are all innocent." Yang Rui stretched out two fingers and said: "Two reasons, the first  First, test the loyalty of these soldiers to you, and secondly, make the Gauls tremble when they hear your name. In this way, Gaul will be your eternal rear! " Caesar also said.  Some hesitated and said: "This is too cruel!" Yang Rui said: "For your will to be conveyed. Any sacrifice is worth it. If you can't do this, you can go back to Rome now and pray for those  The congressmen can give you a way out!" Caesar heard this.  He drew out his dagger and said to the centurion: "Pass my order to kill all these women and children, leaving no one behind!" The centurion felt a little confused.  I was afraid that I had heard wrongly, so I stood there blankly without moving.  Caesar opened his eyes and shouted: "Why are you still standing there? One head costs three gold coins. The soldiers carried the head to my quaestor to get the money! Go and give the order!" After receiving this exact order, the centurion went crazy.  He ran into the military formation and shouted: "Kill all these Gauls, three gold coins per head! Hurry up and act!" Before he finished speaking, a shocking roar broke out from the Roman soldiers' formation, and the sharp daggers were like mountains of knives.  They slashed at the wailing women and children. On this gloomy afternoon, the entire land of Gaul was stained red with blood.  When the setting sun in the sky fell behind the mountain with a strong scarlet color, the three women and children were killed.  XingThe Roman soldiers lined up in front of the quaestor's tent with their heads in hand, preparing to receive their rewards.  Those soldiers who received the money had smiles on their faces, and they had already forgotten the crime of murder.  Yang Rui looked at this scene with an intriguing smile on his face.  Caesar asked beside him: "It seems you are right, the soldiers' emotions are higher than before." Yang Rui said: "The Gauls in the fortress have witnessed all this, and they have been intimidated by your reputation. I  I believe this news will be spread back to Rome soon. You are sure to be called a bandit." Caesar smiled and said: "I like this title!" Yang Rui said: "Then don't insult this title. There are still five in the fortress.  Thousands of Gallic men are waiting for your butcher's knife." Caesar shouted: "Gather the troops and launch the final attack tonight! After the war, all the wealth of Gaul will belong to every Roman soldier!"  Crazy Roman soldiers captured the last Gaulish stronghold and killed all 50,000 Gaulish soldiers overnight.  After that, the land was bright red for a long time.  The war was over. Caesar fulfilled his promise, distributed all the wealth to his soldiers, and signed a contract to grant them further land in the future.  As spring blossoms, the Gallic Legion of the Roman Republic returns to Rome under the command of Caesar.  The march was filled with laughter and laughter, and each Roman soldier¡¯s backpack was filled with gold coins. This was the reward given to them by their commander Caesar, which was enough for them to enjoy half their lives.  At this time, the order from the Roman Senate arrived at the right time. The herald read out the will of the Roman Republic. Caesar must surrender his military power before crossing the Rubicon River and return to Rome as a civilian.  Yang Rui said: "The Rubicon River is ahead. At this time, it was the practice of the Roman Republic that any Roman general would surrender his military power when he set foot on the south bank of the river. Do you think so?" Caesar shook his head and said, "I don't know.  !" Yang Rui said: "The 100,000 Roman soldiers behind you have sworn allegiance to you, what do you have to worry about?" Caesar looked at the river with deep eyes and said: "I am questioning my heart now.  It's not about breaking the oath he made to safeguard the interests of the Republic. "Yang Rui said: "Those people in Rome have already violated their oath. What else do you have to worry about?" At this time, Caesar turned his head and looked at the legions.  The generals and centurions asked calmly: "Cross this river for me and return to Rome. You have a share of the wealth of the Roman Republic! Will you follow me?" There was silence behind Caesar, although  No one spoke, but he already saw the answer in everyone's eyes.  Caesar waved his whip, urged his horses across the Rubicon, and stepped firmly onto the south bank.  The herald from Rome blocked Caesar's way and asked loudly: "Caesar, are you going to rebel?" Caesar swung his dagger and chopped off the herald's head, and then shouted: "Follow me into Rome.  ! "To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
