In the head coach's tent, the envoys came to Li Bida after handing over their swords. They all had beautiful beards, but their eyes were sharp, as if they wanted to see Li Bida through.

"Is Barka still in the hands of the city-state?" Unexpectedly, Li Bida was the first to be the first, and this was the problem. He was very concerned about whether the more than a thousand mercenaries in the city-state had defended Barka City during the months when his army stayed in the southern kingdom of Libya.

At this time, one of the messengers was thin, wearing a black robe, and his beautiful beard was carefully trimmed and extended to his ears. He replied to Li Bida in very fluent and calm Latin words: "The city of Barca has been captured by us. All the hundreds of mercenaries still remaining in it surrendered. We uphold the attitude of forgiveness and release them all. We should be heading towards the Toston Valley at this time. I hope your army can take them in so that they will not starve to death in the endless southern desert."

"Your side means this? Do you think that the five-city country of Cyrene is owned by you Hashidi?" Li Bida's words were a little ridiculous, but he didn't know if these arrogant Jews in front of him could understand that I already have 20,000 soldiers on hand, and the double conquest of Ptolemy and the Republic of Egypt. You must know that if I stop me in vain, I will end up like the Galamantes.

The most beautiful Jewish messenger with the beard turned his gray eyes twice, and then explained, "No, we, Hashidi, naturally, do not want to be enemies with the Republic or the Ptolemy royal family. In fact, our riots were targeted at the endless greed of the Cyrene city-state, and the Hashidi Jewish believers who lived in this kingdom were different from other regions. Most of them engaged in animal husbandry and fellow-town unions. As you can see, they are all living people at the bottom. They worked hard for a year and all the animals they raised were taken to pay taxes, but the high-capped bureaucrats in the city-state used Drakema or Dinar as a measure to measure our taxes

, to put the price of agricultural products to a shocking low. Each household has a tax of fifty dinars a year, and a tribute tax to Rome, and to be paid to each person's head of five dinars, a chicken is converted into three ass, and a cow is converted into one Seth Desert. The tax burden this year cannot be solved, so it will be extended to next year. Maybe you will laugh, Your Excellency Commander, in Cyrene, we Hashidi are victims of usury, and most of the lenders are Crete and Greek merchants. So our children cannot survive. I was an ordinary teacher in the scholastic school. Now for the sake of the children, I have to destroy this unjust city-state."

Li Bida was speechless. The people who revolted against tyranny were originally innate justice, so he groaned and whispered, "I heard that there are nobles in Rome who support your riot behind the scenes. I think if you can identify who it is, then I will consider solving the Hashidi problem in a peaceful way."

Of course, Libida's words definitely mean something, that is, Pompei's most trusted slave, Dmitrius, who was born in the "Four Places" in the northern part of Judea (Eeast, Judea, Samaritan and Galilee). According to Libida's investigation, he was also a believer of Hashidi. He once supported some money through Pompei to build temples and scholastics for the Hashidi sect, but in fact, the man secretly gave 800 Tarant to Hashidi believers.

The person who bought weapons and caused the situation of Cyrene to lose control was Li Bida himself. He hoped to suppress the Hashidi faction and let them come forward to accuse Demethlius and leave a huge stain on Pompeii's political career, so that he could legitimately control the protruding corner of Cyrenega. Now Crassus's eyes are focused on the East, and Caesar has been staying in Gaul. Pompeii can cause interference to this place. He must be cleared out.

"Sorry, I don't know what you said, but I have to tell you honestly, the respected Commander-in-Chief. We Hashidi believers do not recognize your title as King Cyrenega, and supporters in Rome will also accuse you of your transgression in the people." The messenger's confidence was even stronger than Li Bida. "As for the financial lords, the whole world has our believers who are selflessly dedicated to the construction of a true Messiah. Can you point them out one by one? We can first build a beautiful temple in Cyrene, and then return to the promised land to establish the most just Jewish kingdom without oppression and guidance from the Messiah."

"You are a fantasy of a false utopia, and in the end they can only poison your believers." Li Bida blurted out the word "utopia". Later, he suddenly realized that the word had not appeared in this era, so he cleared his throat and continued, "My men have 20,000 people. Of course, this commander is not trying to boast about anything. These 20,000 people, including Cretans, Cypriots, Romans, and even Egyptian indigenous people and Nubian blacks, some are good at using swords, some are good at using spears, some are good at naval battles, and some are good at shooting and throwing stones. I went from Cyprus, to Perusim, to Alexander, Thebes, and to the southern desert of Libya. So you should feel strange why these people with completely different races, customs, and beliefs are willing to always be

Follow me? It's nothing, because I used power and money, and built the foundation of their loyalty on this basis, and then restrained them with strict disciplines and military disciplines, like putting a chew on a fierce horse, using a horse whip to drive them, and governing the country is the same as the commanding army. What great things can be achieved by fanaticism alone? I pity you in love, but I laugh at you in reality. So I sincerely hope to reach a compromise with you in rights and interests - identify someone I have made, and hand over the city of Cyrene so that you can get the support of the powerful political faction of Rome, and be free from war and massacre. I forgive all the participants of the riots, and protect and support you in building your own temple, and expel the tax holders there, and reduce your burden. Such conditions should be very generous!"
