Chapter 4 Three Sentences (Part 2)

Just as Vonteuz was confused and Turinus slowly came to a silence, the Senate of Rome was in urgent consultations on the Greek theater, although they had no right to make decisions now - and in fact, the Executive Yuan had already begun to prepare supplies for the Brutu War, and Leo, as a senior municipal officer, began to allocate bricks, marble, and wood from all over the place, and began to build more theaters, libraries and colleges - "But no matter what, please maintain the dignity of the special father and the natural power proposed. n∈" Cicero persuaded you.

The Senate proposed to the High Priest a month later, because Cicero's judgment was that Libida's main legion had arrived in Gaul, Shannan, and there were seven legions in the Epirus area. If all these legions were allocated to the High Priest, he would soon defeat the republican coalition forces such as Brutu.

But the high priest did not comment, which was equivalent to throwing the Senate's order aside. He said to Leo, "Turinus' exile was a critical opportunity for the war. First of all, Brutu must have believed that the seven legions he left in the Epirus area had no heads, and would inevitably be unable to hold back and give up the winter camp in Athens and come to attack. In addition, the legions under my jurisdiction would not follow the Senate's reminder and go to Epirus. The passage area there was too narrow and the land was very barren, and it would be impossible to provide the supply of the army, so the battle would inevitably be difficult."

"Then father, do you mean?" Leo placed the map sand table in front of his father and asked.

"My legion will take advantage of this time to go to Cyrene from the sea and then gather at the port of Brundim. When the spring of the following year comes, we set sail and divide into two groups - all the way to Peloponnese. Cut off the flank of Brutu; all the way to Rhode Island. Help the sea state to rescue, defeat the fleet of Kasio, and enter Xiaoya, preparing to join the army of Adianna and Diotalus, and annihilate the main force of Urabella. Then, Brutu's main force will usher in his doomsday in Athens."

After saying that, Li Bida sat down and continued to speak to his son. "In addition, before the formal war, there is another biggest problem to be solved, that is, Marco Anthony and his Shannan Gaul."

Leo frightened, and then he carefully investigated his father's tone, "So, my father's army suddenly stopped in the state of Liguria, for this?"

"Yes, there is not much time left for Anthony now. I will issue an edict of the consul. I require all the people of the Julius family to stay in Rome. I will serve as a clergy for the newly established Caesar priesthood. Anthony is no exception. I give him a very honorable position, chief magistrate, and can be directly transferred to an umpire in the future." This is Li Bida's condition. It seems that after deposing Turinus, the one he is most uneasy about is naturally Anthony.

Of course Leo understood that his father Anthony was a person with a strong temper and a sense of honor. He longed to gallop on the battlefield, but the situation now has completely changed. His father needed a staff-like talent who was depressed, rather than a person who could command the party and was eager to be on an equal footing with himself.

"Father, I personally think it would be better if I could ask my father Anthony to go to the front line of the Renus River, command three or two legions, and use the Remi and the Adui as auxiliary troops to guard the invasion of Belgium or German barbarians?" Leo's voice was low, because he did not know whether such partiality would anger his father.

Li Bida was not surprised when he heard this. He asked Leo to sit on the couch opposite him, "How about it, I want to hear your reasons."

Now it was Leo's turn to clean up the mess. He could only say in the end that according to the northern geographical pattern left by Caesar, the Renus River defense line will replace Shannan Gaul in the future and become a barrier to the northern border of the Republic. Moreover, river defense is the most difficult to defend, and battles may occur everywhere, and a truly brave general needs to guard it.

"So is that general Anthony? No, Leo, if I want to sweep away the Germans now, as long as I lead six to ten elite legions and cooperate with the new troops, I can drive the Black Forest barbarians who dare to resist me into the cold ocean in the north within a year. Why do I need to defend? And why do I need Anthony to guard? If I really take the defensive position in two or three years, any competent deputy under my subordinates will be competent. And using Anthony is undoubtedly the most wrong candidate. His advantage lies in his courage and luck, but this also creates his reckless and frivolous character. In this way, he will have only two endings in the end. Do you want to hear it?"

"Yes, I am willing to obey my father's teachings." In fact, at this moment, Leo could only passively accept the admonition.

"One is that he died in the black forest. Several legions were buried with him and the national defense line was torn apart, and it took two or three generations to make up for it. But you might ask, is it going to take so long? It may not be your concern at that time..." Li Bida said this and suddenly tapped Leo's chest with his fingers. "Because you and your family might have been removed from the stage because of this failure, and even extinct, which implicated me and your mother's graves were excavated!"

Leo's sweat flowed down his spine at that time. He only began to worry about such a horror problem after Turinus failed, but today he didn't expect that his father taught him this lesson directly!

However, his father did not mean to stop there. His fingers seemed to pierce Leo's heart, with a stern look and a stern tone. "There is a second result, that is, Anthony's hands are held during the garrison of the Renus River. He will take advantage of your negligence or weakness to enter the city of Rome. You can refer to the former, because they are all the same!"

"But Anthony, the father, is no less different than his father." Leo means that if Anthony calls him, his father can act as the guardian god of everyone, like Leus and Faerton at any time.

But Li Bida said in a weak tone below, "Papa will die one day!"

This sentence really made Leo stunned. He suddenly realized that his father's hair was silver and actually "death". Did his father think of the topic? He couldn't help but feel fear and sadness in his heart. "If my father is gone one day, can I shoulder the situation and responsibility?" Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel sad, and Li Bida sighed heavily, patted his son's shoulder and said, "If you were asked to face an enemy like Anthony alone, it would be dangerous. Remember the three words of his father."

"Please teach my father."
