Chapter 7 Faisule Alimiron (Part 1)

"Will the dead come to you to live for food?" - The Macedonian king Dmitry said, without caring about the lives of the soldiers, driving them to siege the city.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

The camps of the three legions, 20,000 soldiers, more than 100 crossbows, thousands of pack horses, war horses, more than 2,000 camp tents, tens of thousands of wooden fences, and tens of thousands of soldiers, all left, without even falling down, leaving no chicken feathers, and walking cleanly, neatly and quickly, leaving only a few tent pillars like fishing boats like short masts, and lonely trees were in the open ground among the filled trenches, followed by the lonely grass flying around.

Little Gatu's brother-in-law Dumijius looked at the scene blankly, and the entourage holding a sword next to him reminded him, "The mud on the road to Flaminia is full of pack horse ruts, and they have become very hard, which means that these three legions have already faced north and have walked very far."

Another entourage asked carefully, "Do you want to chase Thirty Romans again and see?"

Dumigos shook his head and said that since he had gone far, it was our mistake. Just by those of us, we could recover 20,000 fully armed soldiers? They must have believed the nonsense of Caesar and the minions. Now the most important thing is to return to Rome and ask Pompei to dispatch troops and recruit soldiers urgently. "Maybe the war is about to break out, and maybe it will happen tomorrow."

In fact, Dumigos still lacked experience in fighting. Li Bida's deployment was to let the 10th Legion and the 12th Legion advance together and walk in front. He and the 13th Legion served as the rear guard. The three legions marched in an upside-down triangle. As a result, after just after more than thirty Romans, Li Bida asked the command of the two legions in front to Secretreus to unify. Then he led the 13th Legion to bypass the majestic Sutra peak from the forks of the avenue and turned into the mountainous and dense Etrusian region.

There is the "old nest" that Li Bida secretly managed for many years, especially Feisulai City.

Fesulai, many years ago, was a place where the Krathirites gathered. The main members were retired veterans of Sula. Later, the rebellion of Krathirin was jointly suppressed by the consul Cicero and Neruda. The city with 5,000 residents was also slaughtered. Later, Li Bida slowly infiltrated his power as an agent of Crathir. Now after Crathir died in the East, he inherited the farms, politics and mines here, planted a large number of knights, and bought many local veterans, because this Romanized city was actually the autonomy of the republic political system. Replica - There are "presbyterians" in the city and there are also the Curia Congress of citizens. Political power is limited to autonomy. Only the best local figures can enter the city of Rome to take office at the national level. However, everyone has citizenship and voting rights. Although it is not as valuable as the votes of standard Roman citizens, it can also affect the political situation of Rome to some extent. For example, when Cicero was running for the election, he wrote to his younger brother and friends in the local area more than once, asking them to "pay attention to various autonomous cities, those wealthy and active citizens, and strive for their support."

Now, Fesulai has revived again, the moats and irrigation canals have been revived, and the large and small farms have also quickly revived because of the large and large use of slaves plundered from Gaul. Li Bida has reminded the agent Knight Kaimas more than once: "Don't be greedy for cheapness and abuse slaves. Give them clean and spacious dormitories, drinking water and sufficient food, and when there are surplus luxury goods, such as cheaper alcohol and meat, you should also try to share them with them. It is more cost-effective than funding the street unemployed hooligans in Rome. Slaves should be allowed to organize their own families and do a good job in selection. Those who can read and write should be placed in the top management as much as possible to finance and management, so that everyone can be worried; those who are strong should be given the best use of others."

After the revival of agriculture, Etruscan economic status also rose rapidly. At least in terms of crops, it gradually began to compete with Egypt. Moreover, because the distance between transportation by road was very close, it had a price advantage - at least when the nobles ate the fine Nile wheat flour grinding and baked bread, the rich knights and free slaves had a special liking for Etruscan output.

In addition, because the training towns scattered around the iron ore not only provide a large number of cheap iron farm tools, but can also be transformed into military functions at any time, producing excellent weapons, shields and armor. This area is undoubtedly a priceless treasure connecting Shannan Gaul and the city of Rome. So Li Bida must lead a legion of troops to come at the first time. He would not really foolishly send all the teams north of the Rubicon River. Wedge-making is his favorite.

In the city of Fesuele, the capital of Etruscany, three hundred elders immediately had a brief, fierce and effective discussion after hearing that the thirteenth Caesar's army carrying the lion's flag. All the people who advocated loyalty to the Republic were locked in prison by veterans. Then they selected twelve envoys to open the city gate, held high the olive branches and flower pots, and welcomed more than 6,000 soldiers.

"I just need to lead a chief brigade to defend the city. The rest of the brigades will be in the size of a hundred-man team to control the rural commune of Etruscans. If it is correct, in about half a month, recruiting officials from Rome will come here. All we have to do is to bring the villagers together and give them sticks!" Li Bida ordered all his subordinates in the city hall.

At the same time, in Rome, when Pompei heard that three legions flew away, he finally felt the urgency of the situation. He summoned all his followers, including Gatu and others, to Julia's Hall. "Because I am Dick now, I can decide on national affairs without convening the elders to vote. Gatu, the first question I want to ask you is the three civil guardians of Curio!"

"Because of your indecisiveness and greed, they all successfully left the city of Rome and defected to Caesar. In addition, their speeches at the People's Congress directly led to us being unable to recruit soldiers in the city unless we were to 10,000 to 20,000 slaves and liberate troops." Faced with Pompey's questions, Xiao Gatu said in anger.

Now, Pompey became a little uneasy. He reiterated that he asked the participants to keep all this secret from the outside world, "Because I can find a solution to the problem immediately, Gabinus immediately went north and went to Etruscania to recruit soldiers, while Marcelas faced south and went to Naples and Campenia to recruit people."
