"I hope you understand that there are no citizens of Rome who yearn for triumphalism." Caesar was not annoyed. He seemed to be testing Li Bida, as if the answer would be clearer when he said it in the other party's mouth.

"But this triumphal style is also the means of the Senate, and they raise you. If you are happy with it, you can only curl up under the pressure of the Temple of Concord and let the six hundred old men in purple robes be merciless. Don't forget, I heard that when Cicero was in the conspiracy of Catilin, when your opinion was contrary to Catilin (Caesar did not advocate the execution of Catilin, but Catilin was the opposite), he said more than once that he was willing to review or even adopt your plan, because Cicero said that as long as you listen to your plan, the wave of protests among civilians would be huge.

Reduce. What does this mean? It means that in the eyes of the old man in the Temple of Concord, although you are from a noble family, you are a hero with a deep faith in the heart of the common people. This is your political advantage and your disadvantage - you will definitely be plotted by the Senate after returning to Rome, so the best way is to Crassus and I work hard to operate you as the consul next year. Next year you will lay a truly solid foundation in the political arena of the Republic, and then continue to confront the Senate. Of course, the premise is that you have to reject the triumphant temptation!" Li Bida finished speaking in one breath.

"Libida, Libida, well, actually I'm still used to calling you my original name. But don't forget that the Thirteenth Legion would automatically enjoy a triumphal next year because of its military achievements in Pontikabien. My plan is to combine the merits of Lusitania's expedition and apply to the Senate for the same great triumphal as Pompei. Are you willing to lose the glory of the Thirteenth Legion?" Caesar said this, his eyes glowed again. It seemed that the vanity in his heart had gained the upper hand again.

"But what about your money. Don't forget that Pompey spent thousands of Tarants for this triumphal ceremony. I probably would have to spend no less than three hundred Tarants just by transporting twelve elephants from Syria to Rome. And the money I have on hand is only enough for you to transport six elephants. No, your elephants have to pay for purchases, otherwise where will the elephants come from Spain? As long as you are elected as the consul, I can earn two thousand Tarants for you in one year. Then support you to step down as a province that can seek greater benefits as governor." After Li Bida finished speaking, something seemed to have ignited in his heart. The historical direction of the real plane seemed to gradually be intimate with his personal prospects. What we need to consider now is how to gain greater benefits in this process of fit.

"Yes!" Caesar suddenly raised his left hand again, as if he was waiting for Li Bida's words, "I will end my term as the governor in advance. I will quickly return to Rome to register as the candidate for the consul next year, so as not to interfere. For this reason, I need a smart assistant to help me win the "Colosseum". I will take my friend Ebro back first, and this will be left to you and His Excellency Papingna."

Li Bida, who was about to welcome Caesar's decision, suddenly felt a stern in his heart. Papingna? And the old man with a rosy face over there reached out his hand gently, held Li Bida's hand, and introduced himself enthusiastically, saying that I was Papingna. This expedition voluntarily became the aide of the Governor and served as a guide.

Isn't this Papingna the enemy who is irreconcilable to Milu, Tagus and Pope?

These three veterans used to serve the rebels of the Mallorian Republic (because they eventually failed, the theory of success and defeat was also very common in the Roman world). They had followed the "one-eyed dragon general" Sedoulis to fight with generals such as Metra and Pompeii. The most prominent feature of Sedoulis is the one-eyed. Like other one-eyed generals such as Philip, Antico and Hannibal, they are full of outstanding talents and wisdom, but compared with these people, Sedoulis has more existence in Sedoulis.

The shining point of this is that he is better than Philip, he is more loyal to friendship than Antico, and he is more tolerant to the enemy than Hannibal. The hearts of the Shenfu tribe and the Spanish barbarians have repeatedly defeated Metra, Pompei, these most powerful generals in Rome (he was the first opponent to make Pompei helpless. Pompei was once ravaged by him and dared not fight, so he could only pray to the goddess of victory in front of the altar to boost morale). But Sethulis also has the biggest shortcoming, that is, his lack of luck, and fate is full of cruel injustice to him.

When Metra and Pompey were already desperate to defeat the one-eyed dragon, they took despicable measures and openly offered a reward of one hundred Tarant and 20,000 acres of land to buy Setoulis' head. Finally, when Setoulis fought off his external enemies, when Spain began to rise to Mount Aruotai, the so-called nobles who fled into Spain in civil strife began a fixed "rest program" in the city of Rome. They were afraid of Setoulis, but they even expressed jealousy of his achievements. Many people wanted to seize the army of his men, including this Papingna, the lowly and sinister villain, spreading everywhere.

Rumors and encouraged the elders and nobles who fled to Spain to abuse the barbarians, claiming that all this was done by Sethueris to separate the camp of the one-eyed general. Subsequently, Papingna organized people to lie about military information, saying that the front-line team had won a great victory and wanted to hold a grand banquet for the priest god. At the banquet, Papingna broke his wine glass as a signal. The one-eyed general sitting in the seat was immediately stabbed to death by his gangsters, and then Papingna usurped the one-eyed army. But when the news of Sethueris being stabbed out, most of the Spanish barbarians were unwilling to fight for villains like Papingna, but surrendered to Pompei.

The lonely Papingna was forced to fight Pompey, who made a comeback, but he was not Pompey's opponent? He was wiped out in the battle. He ran away with letters with many secrets of Roman nobles, and hid in a corner of Spain. He raised a large number of retired sword-fighting slaves and armed slaves to protect himself. Therefore, it was beyond the reach of veterans such as Milu who wanted to seek revenge on him.

Who would have thought that Li Bida met this guy here? It seems that this gentleman still couldn't help but be unable to suppress his ambitions that were not in line with his actual talents and was ready to join Caesar's tent and rise up.
