This is by no means a simple mutiny, but an absolute one. Caesar had secretly sent troops to occupy Etruscans. There was a sea of ​​thugs against the republic. After sighing many conclusions, Xiao Katu, who learned of the news, began to understand that it was impossible to recruit soldiers in northern Italy. He went to Pompeii and asked Diktuto to take decisive measures to immediately take the Spanish First Legion to stabilize the situation in Etruscans.

"But this legion is used to guard Rome." Pompey was hesitating.

"It is enough to hand over the city of Rome to the city legion. If the barriers and military sources are lost in the north, then Caesar will really drive in." Xiao Gatu said hurriedly.

At this time, cold winter rain began to fall outside. Pompei did not say a word and walked to the staircase corridor in front of the courtyard again. Not long ago, it was raining. He thought he had won the support of all Rome and made up his determination to absorb the highest honor. He was not a person who was greedy for power, he was just pursuing the highest honor. But a few months later, another rainy day, but after his previous arrogant words, he had no way to solve the problem. The legions of Spain and Macedonia were far away in the sky. The towns, villages and this great Roman city that had enthusiastically praised and flattered him now seemed like dead people, lifeless. He could not even recruit ten thousand soldiers. Now the situation in the north was so decayed. The great Pompei immediately felt helpless and fell into the sun!

"My loyal followers are all in the East and Spain." For a long time, in the cold and pessimistic atmosphere, Pompey looked at the trembling sycamore tree in the yard and said this.

After hearing this sentence was already destined, Katu felt not as angry as he thought. He just said, "You will abandon the city of Rome, the great land of ancestors, and the center of the entire Republic?"

"There is nothing magic in this city!" Instead, Pompey was angry. "Maybe the indigenous nobles would like it, but for me, the hometown of the whole family, in the barracks, in Italian farms. The city construction here is terrible, with the winding alleys of rats and bedbugs everywhere, the dirty rivers, the hills adjacent to the slums and gardens - in Greece and the East, no city is better than here, even if I give up here, with the support of the elite Macedonian legion and the support of countless vassal states, I will soon kill you."

"You don't understand how huge the loss would be if you throw away this dirty and chaotic city of Rome in your mind." Xiao Katu threw away this sentence like a prophet, and then in the rain, he left in a sleeveless wool material.

In the rain, the Rubicon River was filled with overflowing grey and yellow river cement slurry. Libida, Curio, Anthony, Ebro and others in leather cloaks left Etruscana, chose to go from the back of Mount Sutra to Arimiron, to meet Caesar there, report to him the development of the whole situation, and ask him to "make a final decision."

The dark clouds were concentrated on the other side of the mountain, and there was only the cold wind swelling here. They walked through some crooked bridges. Finally, among the bushes, Li Bida wiped the rain on his face and waved his arms to the saber hiding there. The leading centurion was extremely dissatisfied with his and his subordinates being discovered so easily. He complained that he had taken off the dead leaves covered on his helmet, walked out, and asked about their identities sternly.

"Which legion are you from?"

The centurion shrugged his shoulders in response to the rhetoric question, and said unhappily that he was from the Eighth Legion.

It seems that Caesar did bring a regular army to Alimilon, and then Li Bida said to him, "Run forward and quickly, and then tell the Governor in the camp, and all the remaining three have arrived."

In Arimiron's camp, although the rain was getting heavier, Caesar's tent with the Golden Eagle flag was endless, and there were conversations in various languages, such as Latin, Greek, Iberian, Celtic and Germanic. Several military slaves with double-eared hats were constantly carrying charcoal, meat, wine jars and other things. When making the decision, Caesar still held a huge banquet and invited the deputy generals, civil servants and the centurions. When he met and hugged Li Bida and others, Li Bida looked around in the tent and asked in a low voice, "Where are others?"

"Since he came back, he had never worn armor, gold chains and medals, and had been in civilian costumes and staying in his tent. He told the outside that his identity had been completely eliminated." Caesar replied sadly, of course he knew Rabinus's determination, so he did not take any mandatory measures.

Under a row of eagle signs and camps, everyone sat down. Caesar tapped the jar with a barbecue fork. The scene suddenly became quiet, and then he didn't say anything nonsense:

"Everyone, I have been hesitating and afraid. During this period, I would ride my horse every day, staring at the surging black Rubicon River at close range. Today is rainy and the fields and mountains opposite it are like night in the daytime." After saying that, he stood up, closed his eyes, slowly stretched out his hand, and then with a hoarse and trembling tone, "If you go forward and cross it, it may be a boundless abyss. No god can tell us how to go ahead, but I must tell everyone present that we have done our best. Since political enemies can ignore even the bills proposed by the ten civil guardians, and even the decree of the Gauls being granted Roman citizenship, I think there is no need to talk about any calmness, and no longer talk about justice and law."

After a pause, Caesar sat down slowly, carefully arranged the barbecue fork, and then clearly announced in the quiet tent: "Three days, no more than five days at the latest, I will cross the Rubicon River, armed with you."

After this sentence was finished, Caesar raised his fine forehead lines and looked at the entire banquet venue. No one objected or cheered. After a while, the civil guards and centurions began to return to their original state and began to persuade them to drink and eat meat frequently. Just as nothing had happened, it was full of the sound of knives and forks colliding. Everyone began to talk about women, weather and anecdotes from all over the place, and kept laughing.

At this time, Caesar smiled, and Li Bida behind him also smiled. Of course they knew that this state was the most ideal. The officers and soldiers did not think about anything and would not think about what kind of punishment they would be punished by the state across the Rubicon River. In their minds, they equated this behavior with any ordinary military action that followed the orders of His Excellency the Governor.
