"Oh, Libidaus, are you still afraid that you can't be Marcelicus? Sadly, I will never rob you of your merits, because Pompey's power is concentrated in Spain, so I must seize this place and dismantle his army." Caesar sat on a ring chair in the tent, fiddling with the hook pen, and said.

"No, because your idea is contrary to the principle of military victory. The strategy I have offered to you in the past was to use military force to hold Pompei's arms, and then concentrate on his strength to kick his abdomen, that is, Italy. Now Pompei's abdomen has been kicked hard by us, but his fists may swing at the same time, knocking us to the point of bleeding." Li Bida stood and analyzed, "So, it is right to concentrate on cutting off one of Pompei's arm, but now it should not be hit by his strongest left arm, but I should first take off the city of Marcelia, then act as a shield, block the sword he stabbed with his left arm, and form a navy army, cross the sea to Epirus, eliminate Pompei's army in the east, and concentrate on cutting off his right arm holding the shield."

"In addition, take down Curio in Sicily, leaving only one legion and navy for him to defend the island, and then ask him to hand over the remaining two to three legions to you." Li Bida said the following sentence without hesitation. He already felt that after capturing Sicily, Curio's momentum and strength might rise sharply.

However, Caesar smiled carelessly and continued to stick to his own opinions. "Maybe I can break Pompei's strongest arm at once? As long as Pompei does not pass through Mauritania and comes to Spain to supervise the battle, I think there is still no opponent on the other side."

Then Caesar began to change the topic and asked Li Bida very carefully about his experience in falling into the water in the naval battle, whether he was injured or not, or whether he was cold, etc. This made Li Bida even more surprised. His mind was moving rapidly and he felt that with his IQ, why did he overturn the reasonable strategic plan he had formulated before, which was not like what he did. In addition, especially when he mentioned Curio just now, Caesar was obviously a little evasive, and that pattern was definitely a lot of tricks.

So he was about to ask, "What is the plan you have made for Curio?"

"Libidaus, I recognize your concern and enthusiasm for the overall situation. And you are a good assistant with both intelligence and ability. I have promised you that I will not consider your special identity or origin at all, because now, as long as the Julius family does not perish, the two inspectors will not let us identify it in the future? At that time, as long as the inspector says what you are from. That is what origin, he said on the roster that you are a slave or a slave. He said that you are born free and free." Caesar continued to make a fierce conversation, "In addition, I promised you that as long as you reach age, you will definitely become the consul of Rome, so you have to understand my method of using people."

This was almost equivalent to some kind of "please shut up" coercive tone. The centurion and soldiers under the camp were walking around carrying wood. Soon someone began to complain about the weather. Because it was raining again, the soil outside the tent quickly became spots, and then it gathered into puddles everywhere in the drizzle, and the sound of military shoes pedaling around was particularly harsh.

The camp became very quiet, because this time only Caesar and Li Bida chatted. Caesar then silently placed his eyes outside the tent. After a long time, Li Bida still said the sentence, "In about two or three months, Curio will be ordered to set out from Sicily to Afiriga, right?"

In the sound of rain, Caesar raised his eyebrows, then used his beautiful fingers to bend slightly, holding the armrest of the chair. "He is a very enthusiastic and courageous young man. He successfully recruited a new army in Sicily and began to prepare abundant ships. In addition, Curio also told me that he was familiar with the knights of the Chamber of Commerce in Yunonia."

"But he is not Pompei's opponent at all." Then Li Bida picked the words more clearly, "and he had no experience in commanding the legion before..."

"Some people!" Caesar held the hook pen loudly and interrupted Li Bida's words, "He was a standard Roman noble. He received a good education when he was young. He was always unruly before he was thirty. They were very capable and ostentatious. They squandered their youth in dances and casinos. In addition, they had one eye forever staring at the political altar and racecourse, rubbing the rings on their fingers, thinking about how to win the triumphal genre in their lifetime, or put on white robe to become the chief consul. The qualifications of their fathers and their own elegance and wiseness subconsciously think that I am superior to all the lower classes. They will naturally say that I am a natural commander. Experience

It is not indispensable to them - Curio, who is such a person. He is full of energy and was full of ambition in the position of civil guards. Now he is going to show his skills in Afrika, so what if he is not bad? Because after all, he is different from you. You start from a shelter contractor in the shopping mall, a fish pond; on the battlefield, you start from a scale officer, an agent civil guards, a deputy general of the army, and a commander, so I asked you to chew the city of Marcelia, and asked Curio to go to Afrika, because the former requires abilities and experience, and the latter requires fearless courage. I think such personnel are correct."

Caesar's speech was very smooth. In fact, Li Bida knew that his arrangement was intentional, but it was completely invisible: Caesar took advantage of Curio's ambition to make achievements, and also took advantage of his self-righteousness in the study of battle formations to achieve his own plan.

"I'm just worried that if Curio fails in Afilica, he will ruin our legion." Li Bida also covered up the topic.

"Someone has to sacrifice, Li Bida, we have fought side by side for so many years. From Rome to Xiaoya, to Lusitania, to Gaul, and now Spain, fate can determine who we can survive in the end. It is impossible not to be damaged or lost. When I was a child, when I was soaked in blood in Rome, I stood in front of the forum of the Grand Plaza, looking at the heads cut off by my uncle, and there were two of my biological uncles in it. Then you scold me. At that time, should I feel the death of my uncle and betray my uncle? No, it's very simple, because my uncle is the person who can really help the whole family rise. Between family affection and interests, I just choose the latter." Caesar said expressionlessly.

Li Bida turned around and understood in his heart that what Caesar needed to focus on dealing with the five most elite legions in Spain were Pompei's forces in Spain. Curio's attack on Afilica was already regarded as a pawn to restrain Pompei's pawn. The greater the sacrifice of Curio, the safer he would be on the Spanish front.
