Chapter 24 Disposal (2)
But no matter what, weakening Caesar's power always made Xiao Katu happy. He had no objection to Pompey's plan and said goodbye with satisfaction.
At this time, Caesar, who received the tragic news from Crassu, was riding horses with his generals and the soldiers standing at a Shangyi Pass at the foot of the Alps. The soldiers and of course the engineers were completely demolishing the towers and soldiers set up by the Gaul barbarians on the pass. The stones and wood were used for the construction of winter camp facilities in that year. Caesar called his staff to record this matter. When he presided over the tour meeting in the entire Gaul in winter, it would become the core voting topic-Caesar would put forward an ideal, no matter whether it was a mountain.
In the south or outside the mountain, whether it is a robe or pants, the estrangement between tribes will be gradually eliminated, and all are unified under the name "Gallic Province of the Republic". Tribal chiefs or nobles are not allowed to set up private checkpoints and collect passes from merchants and travelers, even if one Asi is charged. As for the nobles who have been converted into local officials, some will enter the Senate to serve as public office before the end of Caesar's term. This is Caesar's goal. He wants Gaul to become Gaul in Rome, rather than a war-torn place where swords and fire are cultivated back and forth.
This brief, written in Akuta's letter, was handed over by Habaruka, Libida's slave. The content was very different from the official statement, but it also made Caesar more clearly understand the fact: the troops in the Syrian province did suffer heavy losses, but they were far from being wiped out. Kassio and others were exaggerating, and Pompei and Katou reached a compromise and asked him to return the two legions, which would inevitably make his military strength short, because after defeating the Belgians, the army needed to make up for casualties and set out to in-depth conquests for Britain and the German Black Forest in the coming year. It was not a joke.
It seems that Li Bida must be asked to return to the camp with his three private legions as soon as possible. In this way, the legions he can use will not decrease and will not fall into Pompei's tricks. Although his daughter is pregnant, the gap between him and Pompei is growing secretly. This has nothing to do with Julia, but only related to Crasso's death - one of the three monsters has died. The balance of power has been broken, and he should have been prepared for corresponding reasons.
In the camp, Yulia, wearing a dark coat, stood up to salute Caesar. Caesar politely hugged and kissed her. He was a guy who was a legendary affair with his wife of half of the Senate, but he also had principles and never attacked his subordinates' wives. These young people were truly treated as sons by him.
"To be honest, I really have to thank the God of the clan for my husband's blessing to survive this tragic catastrophe."
"It's not surprising. Dear lady, because he is Libidaus. Unless an accident really happens, he will definitely survive the bad battlefield." Caesar smiled and took out the hook pen. "Now I can officially operate this matter through the Senate, lift his exile punishment, and ask him to come back to Gaul with more legions - how, he needs to stay in Milan and reunite with you and your family for three or five years, and then I let other commanders accept his legion?" Caesar's words were obviously joking, but Yulia replied seriously, "Governor General, you can give him three private legions to assist, but you have no right to change his command power, because this is his 'son', and he is your son. Even if it's a father, the property analyzed cannot be recovered by just a moment of interest."
"I'm just worried about your feelings. Dear, you know that your husband will not be idle in the East. Do you understand what I mean? Whether it's a war or a woman." After Caesar wrote the relevant documents, he handed them over to Habaruka next to him, and invited Yulia to read them and continued to joke.
"I am a noble woman from Rome, not those Persian royal concubines who are only jealous of the persian royal concubines." Yulia had no special expression. After reading the board for a while, she felt satisfied, so she asked for the additional payment that her husband had given in a private letter. "Support my husband to inherit Crasso's career and connections in the knighthood. In return, he will provide you with 6,000 Tarent's military funds within three years."
This sudden request shocked Caesar. He considered that the blow to him by Crassus's death is not just as simple as losing two legions. The uncrowned king who controls the economic channel of Rome City died. If the knight world joins the long-term leader and does not invest in his newly conquered Gaul area, he will be very distressed for long-term stability. Now, the only one who has the ability to inherit the knight world is Li Bida. Pompei relies on the army, Caesar relies on the people, and Crassus relies on the commercial knights.
"I don't make things difficult for this. You must know that the person I rely on now is Rabinus, military, and financially your husband." Caesar smiled, stood up again and hugged Yulia, and then asked in a low voice, "Dear Li Bida, there is nothing else to say? For example, the consul's election next year, or about two legions that will go to Syria immediately, or my niece Atiya, or something."
"My husband will not give up on me and take over your niece." This was Yulia's first answer.
Then she sighed slightly and said, "For the two legions, in addition to the Spanish First Legion that Pompei had borrowed before, which one are you going to send?"
"The newly established 15th Legion." Caesar's answer was very straightforward. Since he was dealing with the Senate, he would throw out the worst cards. The 12th Legion brought out by Li Bida, and the 13th Legion is now his most important elite, and he couldn't bear to leave it.
"My husband said that a trick could be played in the commander's arrangement - he suggested that Apis and Dihimos take the Legion to the Rubicon."
Hehe, after saying this, Caesar fully understood that Apis was a staunch republican, while Dihemoth was Brutu's cousin. As long as he made such arrangements, Katu would definitely think that these two legions should be under his control, and then there would be a good show with Pompeii, and it would be easy to quickly break up the alliance between Pompeii and Katu.
"Tell your husband and write back as soon as possible. He will be the rank of the branch next year. This is the springboard position of the veteran." Caesar held Yulia's hand tightly.
Yulia's letter, who had made an appointment with Kassi, arrived in Kale City together. At this time, Libida and Surena had been confronting each other for nearly eighty days.
The content of the letter from Kasio was to ask him for the Legion of Crasso: the Fourth, Fifth and Seventh Legion.
