"Rome is safe and the country is safe, because Germanicus is safe." - Rome's song expresses his respect for the general (Father Nero)

"Occupy the pit and don't shit." When Li Bida returned to Rome hatefully and walked on the porch, he couldn't help but say this. Of course, he didn't say it in Latin, so that everyone following behind was dumbfounded, thinking that the chief deputy general was speaking angry earthly words.

Then, Sabo, Seerha, Faobinas, Angandinus and other confidants gathered in the hall and asked what to do next, whether Curio would really log in in Afilica.

"Login?" Li Bida sneered and then analyzed, "Curio seems to be very confident to me, but he is not good at Pompei. Now Pompei is in charge of Utica City himself, and has four armies, two of which are originally from Tulas, and the first legion was led by Pompei himself, and he recruited one from the local area. And when the war in Spain was fierce, Pompei always trained the army in an orderly manner, allocated supplies, and built a fleet - what is Curio? Quindus's 14th legion,

There are two new recruits dominated by Masi, and this person who was in his thirties who had been staying in Rome and helped Pompei build the theater. He had no military experience. He was not a fool. I guess he was unlikely to take the initiative to attack Afilica. Pompei was just a mountain in front of him, so he was very afraid that I would take you to seize his credit. He would rather accumulate strength in Sicily and take the opportunity to attack after a breakthrough in other battlefields. Anyway, his role was only restraint."

So Saab asked for instructions clearly, what should we do now?

Li Bida looked at everyone for a while, then waved his hand, and the servants in the courtyard and corridor retreated knowingly.

Then Mathia moved out the huge sand table map, and everyone sat in the seats and surrounded it. Then Li Bida said in a calm tone: "Caesar's front-line troops will definitely fail."

Sabo pointed his finger to the side of the sand table and said, "Because if you cross the sea, the entire coastline will be cliffs and valleys, which is not suitable for large legions to land and fight. Gaius and Urabella took three legions this time, including the 11th legion stationed in Illyria."

"Hasn't this legion been defeated by Pompei's deputy general and governor in Macedonia, Rilias?"

"But according to information, there are still less than 4,000 people left, all of whom were on board by Uraberala and carried over to prepare to attack Dikhaqiang."

"This bald man is so cruel that he doesn't treat soldiers as human beings. Or he always considers the issue from the perspective of weighing interests. What Caesar cherishes the most is to follow him to fight against Gaul, the four legions of the seven**10, followed by our auxiliary legions, and the second is his new crusade after crossing the Rubicon River, which is probably a consumable in his eyes." Li Bida raised his lips and said, and then the commander and centurion sitting around him all showed a kind of glory expression - meaning that fortunately we followed, another person, so Li Bida would not give up any behavior of black dictatorships in front of his subordinates. "Even though he knew there was no advantage on the sea, and even though he knew that the terrain on the coast was difficult to fight, the bald man boldly promoted these young generals and filled in nearly nine thousand people to attract the attention of Pompei and Bibruce."

"What?" Angandinus asked curiously. Since Caesar did everything from the perspective of interests, he could not just call soldiers to die, right?

"Then, of course, I took his elite army to Greece in the absence..." Li Bida said strangely, "This is another trick, so I stayed in Rome, saved my own troops, and the 12th army that were also pulled away. Fortunately, I had a good combat power and was placed in the sequence of what Caesar thought was the "elite battle main force". In addition, if I remember correctly, it would be a good thing that Curio did not allow us to go to Afriga. Now you all go to Ravenna and secretly raise ships."

Everyone was puzzled, and Sabo pointed to the sand table and said that Ravenna could cross to Olicomm, where only Pompei generals Vispilo and Mirokius had ten decked ships, as well as several garrison troops.

After Sabo finished speaking, Li Bida stood up to explain the real plan. "When Anthony's younger brother failed, Caesar will cross the sea himself, and he will definitely ask us to cross instead of going to Africa. We might as well prepare early and take this opportunity to capture Olicomm. Then, Pompei will definitely send troops to grab this harbor city, and it will be the turn to hit them on land." Then he marked a few places on the left bank of the Adriatic Sea. "Olicomm, Isa and Sarona, this triangular region is surrounded by the sea and the terrain is complex, and it happens to be the best place for us to play. As long as we can defeat Pompei's non-moving army, we can create an advantage for Caesar to attack head-on, and we can also win a great victory on the other side. This is what I should do as the chief vice general."

"What should I do if I raise my supplies?" someone asked.

The chief deputy general sat down with a serious expression and said, "This is indeed a big problem, because the battle crossing the sea and the storm in autumn and winter is coming, it is very difficult to transport ships normally, and the land transportation route from Shannan Gaul is too long and full of dangers. So the biggest possibility is to take the risk of collecting supplies in the Presbyterian Church of the three cities I just mentioned. Even if they are in danger of betraying and selling us, it can only be done."

After hearing this, the atmosphere on the spot was silent for a while, and then Faubinas, who was the most taciturn in daily life, spoke, "There are Macedonians in the 16th Legion. If you adapt to mountain combat, you will give me the vanguard mission."

Li Bida nodded and then arranged, "The Thirteenth Army is gathering here along the streets. The Sixth Army and the Fifteenth Army first went to Ravenna to prepare for combat. The Sixth Army was camping outside the city and followed me and waited for the opportunity to act."

Then he called Matthia and told him to draft two duplex documents now, one to Sicily and the other to Brindisi, "the content is exactly the same, impeach Curio and demand that Sicily provide timber for the construction of the ship."

As Li Bida initially expected, both letters were sank to the sea, and Curio ignored the protests. Caesar over there just smiled bitterly and put down Li Bida's letters and ignored them. He was unable or willing to punish any right-hand man now.

But do you think Li Bida is really just to vent his resentment? Of course not. He quickly mobilized all the chambers of commerce from Etruscan to Liguria, transported the wood and nails to Ravenna in large quantities, and secretly built solid and light ships to prepare for the war facing him.
