    The merchant bowed in fear and said: "Dear Sir, I have no objection to your price. It's only one hundred gold coins, and this woman belongs to you." "Quintas, pay!" Octavian said.  "Master, we didn't bring so much money. There are less than 50 gold coins in the money bag." Quintus whispered in Octavian's ear. Octavian let out a sigh, took the money bag, and put it in  He handed it to the merchant and said: "Take these gold coins first, and you can go to the Governor's Mansion to ask the financial officer for the rest today. Just say that I bought the slave, and he will pay you the remaining gold coins.  " "Yes, my young general, this woman belongs to you, and the gods will bless you." The businessman took the money bag and at the same time handed the chains that bound the slave girl to Octavian.  In the evening, another grand celebration banquet was held in the Governor's Mansion. Officials and nobles from all over the city were invited to come here to share the joy of victory.  The laughter in the banquet hall spread to every corner of the city.  Octavian was the first to leave the banquet. He was in no mood to enjoy the wine Caesar sent from the south.  Alone in the room, he was cleaning the Roman dagger given to him by his adoptive father a year ago.  "It seems that some people are not happy about Caesar's victory." Yang Rui opened the door and walked into Octavian's room with a kind smile on his face.  Octavian knew Yang Rui and knew that he was a centurion recently recruited by his adoptive father Caesar. He obeyed this man Caesar and therefore received extremely high treatment in the Julius family. Therefore, when he saw Yang Rui come into his own  He also stood up to express his respect, but he still didn't want to say another word.  "We haven't seen each other for a year, and you have grown stronger." Yang Rui looked at Octavian, nodding his head, and the care in his eyes was beyond words.  Octavian said frustratedly: "So what, I just stay at home and hang out. I can't go to the battlefield, let alone command the Roman legions." Yang Rui smiled and sat on the chair.  Said: "Your body has grown up, like your cousin Anthony, tall and strong, I am convinced of this. But, have you ever thought about what you lack?" "I lack  "What?" Amrius shook his head and replied stubbornly: "I think I don't lack anything. Anthony can lead the cavalry to attack the Southern Army, and I can do it." "Yes, you can do it, after all."  When you grow up, Yang Rui said with a smile: "As a legionnaire, you can fight with the enemy on the battlefield. But do you know what is most important as a general commanding the Roman army?" "It is bravery.  Being able to take the lead and charge into battle," Amrius rushed to answer.  "You are wrong, my dear child." Yang Rui suddenly stopped smiling and said solemnly: "As a general, your mission is not to let your soldiers die, let alone to die yourself. As a general, in the end,  The important thing is to examine and judge the changes in the battlefield situation, not to fight with the enemy. If you can only think of the answer to my question now, then you can still command the Roman legions, because the Roman soldiers want them.  The general led them to victory, and then returned home full of honors and rewards. "Seeing Octavian's silence, Yang Rui said kindly: "Pack up your things and follow me.  " Octavian looked up and asked: "Where are you going? " Yang Rui said: "Caesar has defeated the Southern Army and Pompey has fled to Cyprus. The Gallic Army is heading towards Rome. He said it is time for you to see the world.  "When he heard this, Octavian jumped up from his chair excitedly. He asked excitedly: "Are you going to take me to Rome?" Yang Rui nodded and said, "Of course, he has more important things.  The matter must be granted to you, so I have been ordered to personally escort you to the city of Rome." At the same time, the city of Rome was falling into extreme divisions due to Caesar's victory and Pompeii's defeat, and most of the people at the bottom had feelings for Caesar.  For the sake of goodwill, they were tired of the endless quarrels among the old men in the Senate all day long, which made it difficult for all matters of the Republic to proceed. They expected a brave and courageous authority figure to bring them more wealth, happiness, and more importantly  What matters is efficiency, and Caesar can do it all.  Therefore, they were not angry at Caesar's act of provoking civil war. Instead, they felt a kind of heartfelt joy and looked forward to the arrival of this historic change.  On the other hand, for the old aristocratic class, loyal supporters of the republic spend every day in fear.  In the history books they had read how the tyrannical Sulla destroyed the city and massacred all those who opposed his dictatorship.  Perhaps Caesar was the second Sulla, and his Gallic armyThe regiment was heading towards Rome.  Finally, early one morning, the bright red Roman eagle flag appeared in people's sight. The Roman legion entered the demilitarized zone of Rome for the second time in history, and his commander Caesar was once again welcomed by all the people in the city.  .  "Compared with the last greeting, this time the members of the Senate were more like surrendered defeated people, standing on the steps of the chamber waiting for the person who would determine their fate to appear.  Caesar appeared in front of them as always, with a kind smile and no trace of hostility. He shook hands with everyone in a friendly manner and made these frightened legislators feel that their lives would not end here.  .  Seeing Caesar's expression, the congressmen guessed that this man would not go on a killing spree like the crazy Sulla, because their fate was already in this man's hands. The soldiers of the Gallic Legion in the square had already made them shudder.  When the dust settled, no one needed to declare any information again. Caesar ruled the city of Rome without any dispute, and at the same time, he also firmly held the rights of the entire Roman Republic in his hands.  Caesar did not carry out a purge. He retained the positions of all senators and continued to let them play their roles. But one thing has changed, that is, any orders and bills of the Roman Republic must be approved by him.  Take effect.  In another grand athletic competition, Antony announced to the Roman citizens that the Senate had just appointed Caesar as dictator. The whole stadium was boiling, and the Romans shouted Caesar's name and waved to him.  Caesar saw all this, but he frowned because although his enemy had failed, he was still alive, which made him unable to sleep or eat well.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
