Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Caesar died, and the greatest hero in Roman history was killed by a group of old men in front of the Senate.  When Caesar's guards rushed into the Senate, except for the corpse, there was only a trickle of blood on the steps.  That afternoon, the Senate of the Roman Republic suddenly issued an order to seal up Caesar's official residence in Rome. All properties were confiscated and all personnel were restrained. Of course, Yang Rui was not included here.  By this time, he had arrived in the distant Germanic jungle, where the Roman legions were besieging the barbarian races hiding in the jungle, and victory was already in sight.  Octavian was sitting in the big tent and was debating the next action plan with the legion generals. Suddenly Yang Rui opened the door curtain and barged in. Octavian was surprised and asked: "How did you get here? Caesar wants you to pass the message to me.  Is the message coming? " Yang Rui glanced at the people in the tent. They were all veteran soldiers who had followed Caesar for many years. Their loyalty to Caesar was higher than their fear of God.  Yang Rui pulled out a dagger from his waist and placed it on the table covered with maps. Octavian recognized the dagger as belonging to Caesar and asked: "How did this sword get into your hands?"  Come on, tell me, what happened in Rome?" Yang Rui said slowly: "Caesar was murdered!" After saying this, there was a commotion in the whole tent, and everyone couldn't believe their ears. They couldn't believe it at all.  Believing in the fact that the great Caesar would be murdered in the city of Rome, they shed tears that the hero would die on the battlefield or die of old age, and that murder was beyond their imagination.  Octavian suddenly jumped up from his chair and walked up to Yang Rui. His eyes were full of fear and despair, and he said: "Rui, please take back your joke. I don't have that kind of sense of humor." Yang Rui nodded and said  : "I'm telling the truth. Caesar was murdered. The murderers were the senators led by Bruce. They killed Caesar in front of the chamber, sealed the official residence, confiscated the property, and detained all the people.  "I escaped!" "And!" Yang Rui continued: "The Senate has declared Caesar a public enemy of Rome. The messenger who I want to remove your military power is on the way and will be here soon."  After listening to Yang Rui's words, Octavian lowered his head feebly, with tears in his eyes. He asked in a low voice: "What should I do? This happened so suddenly. No one is mentally prepared." Yang Rui  He helped Octavian sit down on the chair and said seriously: "There are two choices before you. First, surrender to the Senate, hand over military power, and recognize Caesar as a public enemy of Rome, so that you can save your life.  Second, choose to resist like Caesar and become the leader of the new generation. "Octavian was silent for a long time and said: "I am still young and I don't have the courage and wisdom of Caesar. How can I be the enemy of the entire Roman Republic?" Yang Rui said.  : "As long as you win, the Roman Republic will be yours." Octavian raised his head and looked at Yang Rui seriously and asked: "There are only 7 Roman legions here. They can't fight against the Roman Senate at all. They can recruit more than 20 at will.  Legion. I will not win." Yang Rui said: "Dear child, Caesar chose you as his successor because of your wisdom. You still drove the Germans to a dead end without his guidance.  . This is what you have. The only thing you don¡¯t have now is courage. With courage, you can challenge any authority in the world.¡± Octavian asked: ¡°Can I do it?¡±  There were footsteps at the door of the tent. Yang Rui looked back and saw a Roman soldier standing at the door. He recognized the face as Samael's.  Samael did not speak, but nodded to Yang Rui. Yang Rui smiled and said: "I have made plans for you. Anthony, who is far away in Egypt, has agreed to form an alliance with you, and Egypt will also send troops to help you.  Revenge for Caesar! You have all the conditions, now show up with courage." Octavian asked: "Why me? Antony is better than me!" Yang Rui suddenly smiled and said: "Because God has chosen you.  You." The next morning, the herald from Rome stormed into Octavian's tent, loudly read the Senate's order, and stretched out his hand to demand that Octavian hand over the Roman eagle flag immediately.  Octavian sat on the chair and glanced at Yang Rui beside him. At this time, the young man's eyes had changed from the sadness and fear last night to calm and calm. He then glanced at his guards.  The guard immediately drew his dagger and stabbed the herald to death.  The guards behind the herald tried to resist, but they all died in the tent.  Octavian stood up and said to Yang Rui: "Let's return to Rome." Yang Rui said: "This is aA wise choice, Anthony's African Legion is already on the way.  " Octavian's army returned south to Rome. When crossing the Rubicon River, Octavian said: "I finally realized what Caesar felt when he crossed this river.  " Yang Rui asked with a smile: "What kind of mood is that?  " Octavian said: "Complexity, the unknown of the future and the desire for victory.  Yang Rui asked again: "If you return to Rome, what will you do?"  Octavian turned around and said, "Do you have any good suggestions? Caesar always obeys your words."  " Yang Rui said: "Don't follow Caesar's old path, be merciless to your enemies, and firmly hold on to your power. Rome is yours.  Caesar was so confident that he lost the necessary precautions and ended up being murdered.  " Octavian said thoughtfully: "You mean to overthrow the Senate?  " Yang Rui said categorically: "Kill them, leave no one behind!  " After hearing Yang Rui's words, Octavian looked at the hills ahead for a long time. Suddenly a strange look came into his eyes. He turned to his men and shouted: "Soldiers, speed up your pace, Rome is ahead!  Occupy her and she will belong to you!  " After Caesar's death, Octavian and Antony attacked the city of Rome from the north and south. In that midsummer season, 200,000 Roman troops and hundreds of thousands of Egyptian mercenaries surrounded Rome. This was the first time in Roman history, and it was also  The only time he was besieged by his own people was that after a month of resistance, the Senate in Rome announced its surrender and sent the envoy out of the city to seek a peaceful solution. Octavian asked the envoy: "What does the Senate want?"  ¡± The messenger said: ¡°Forgive them for what they have done and retain their property, so that the Senate will be willing to dedicate Rome.  " Octavian and Antony looked at each other with smiles. Antony said: "Those old men surrendered so easily?  And they shamelessly asked for our pardon. So when they murdered Caesar, why didn't they think about what would happen today?  The messenger was speechless and just said: "I just came to convey their message and bring back your opinions. I don't know anything else."  Octavian interrupted Antony and said to the envoy: "Go back and tell the senators that as long as the city of Rome is handed over, we will agree to all their conditions!"  "(To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!
