    A day's training had exhausted Pompeii's Southern Army to the extreme. Due to the fact that sufficient food and military pay had not yet arrived, coupled with the bad weather in the southern part of the Italian peninsula, the soldiers were full of complaints.  Haiernuo sat listlessly in the tent, facing a table full of sumptuous food but had no appetite.  The oath of Pompeii has now become pale and feeble.  Almost like a lie no one believes anymore.  All kinds of rumors in the army filled his ears.  He became irritable and restless, and beating and scolding his attendants became a way for him to vent his anger.  It was getting dark every day, and the soldiers huddled in the tents tiredly.  The meaningless garrison made them lose their fighting spirit.  The coach's incompetence made them complain.  The feeling of homesickness makes everyone listless and drowsy.  There is no hope of knowing what will happen tomorrow.  Late at night, the soldiers of the Southern Legion felt the earth shaking slightly.  From slight to louder, from far to near, the "rumbling" sound is endless.  Everyone walked out of the tent curiously and looked around.  Nothing was seen.  Just the dark sky and faint starlight.  This tremor continues, unstoppable, and shocking.  What it could be, everyone was whispering among themselves.  "What happened?" Haiernuo, who was fooling around with a few female slaves, also felt the tremor and walked out of the tent naked to ask the guard.  The guards were also confused and didn't know what happened.  ¡°Go and call someone to see what happened!¡± Herno II shouted to the herald.  "There are cavalry!" Suddenly the sharp voice of the sentry on the observation post pierced everyone's eardrums.  Before the voice fell, 1,000 cavalry led by Antony rushed into the camp of the Syracusan army like a sudden eruption of hot volcanic lava.  The massacre began, and it was extremely easy for the cavalry to eliminate the infantry that was not united.  They chased and intercepted them everywhere, using their spears to end the lives of their enemies one by one.  Wails, shouts, and the neighing of war horses were heard.  Massacre is always accompanied by fire.  Antony ordered his men to set fire to the camp in preparation for the surprise attack.  There were so many corpses that the horses had to trample them, and Antony's cavalry was in units of ten.  Hunting this group of panic-stricken Confederate legion infantry like sheep.  The blood dyed the snow-white uniforms of the cavalry red, making them forget the fatigue of the journey and become even more excited.  They shouted loudly, brandished their spears, and randomly selected targets to kill among the fleeing crowd.  This hunting game made their confidence rise again, firmly believing that Caesar was the undisputed overlord.  News that Caesar¡¯s cavalry had attacked the southern legion¡¯s camp quickly reached Rome.  At night, the Senate's political hall was brightly lit, and the warring and peacemaking members were red-faced and quarreling like shrews in the market.  Someone from the Peace Party shouted: "Herno's failure is a manifestation of his incompetence. We cannot sacrifice the lives of our noble Roman soldiers for cowards like them. Caesar is not a beast, he is reasonable, and we can negotiate."  " The war faction booed, and someone immediately retorted: "Caesar is a careerist. He attacked the army of the Roman Republic. This is already a traitor. For the traitor, we can only fight! " The war faction shouted!  Said: "Caesar has 20 legions in his hands, and they are well-trained. The soldiers are all loyal to him, so why should we fight against him!" The main war faction said: "We also have the Southern Legion and the Roman Republican Guard!" Yes  The leader and faction sneered at this suggestion: "You can still count on the young men of the ancient families in Rome**. Adultery, molesting boys, and alcoholism. These dirty words are always mixed with these people and become the afterthoughts of others."  The city of Rome has enough soldiers to recruit at least 10 legions. However, most of these recruited soldiers are from the upper class families, and their exaggeration has not been tempered by wearing armor.  The combat effectiveness is not worth mentioning. It is barely enough to deal with the rioting slaves. If they face the battle-hardened Gallic Legion, they will be beaten to pieces. "The main war faction shouted: "We still have Pompeii, and we still have Pompeii.  The 150,000 southern legions are enough to deal with Caesar's treason!" At this time, everyone's eyes were focused on Pompeii in the corner.  At this time, Pompeii was suffering internally.  He had already dug Caesar's grave.  It was when Caesar was losing both sides after fighting the Macedonians that his southern legions dealt a fatal blow to his old friend.  However, he underestimated Caesar's ability. In just two weeks, he defeated the Macedonians, seized two important cities at the southern foot of the Alps, and completely blocked the Macedonian attack attempts.  ¡°Subsequently, with the help of the Egyptians, he suddenly appeared in southern Italy without anyone noticing, and attacked his garrison in Taranto, fighting with the North.?'s troops united to form a north-south pincer attack on Rome.  Pompeo did not expect this. Seeing all the MPs turning their attention to him, he stood up, walked to the middle of the crowd, looked around and said: "What else can I say? As a  Consul, I have no choice!" After saying that, he shouted loudly: "Gather the troops!" Suddenly, the cheers flooded the entire meeting hall. The faces of the senators were filled with smiles, but the faces next to them were filled with confusion.  Sad look.  At the same time, Caesar also received news that the Senate was at war with him. He asked Yang Rui: "This time I have no way to turn back." Yang Rui smiled and said: "Along the way, the people of Rome welcomed you.  , they don¡¯t feel any shame for your behavior.¡± Caesar asked: ¡°I also saw it, why?¡± Yang Rui said: ¡°Human beings are fragile, and they call for heroes to save them, and in this situation.  At that time, if someone can play this role, no matter whether he is good or bad, people will support him." Caesar asked: "What should I do?" Yang Rui looked at the huge marching team and said firmly: "Give them.  If you want, indulge them, but at the same time discipline them, they will be your slaves." Caesar smiled and said: "It seems this is a difficult proposition." Yang Rui said: "Stop all rights.  When you enter your arms, you will feel that this is not a difficult thing." Caesar took a deep breath and said: "I hope it is like you said, there is no turning back, all my bets are on it.  Go up." Yang Rui said: "Believe me, you will definitely win."
