Chapter 16 Demobilization of the Troops (Part 2)

"Go away, kids, here is the cruel stage of gladiatorial battle." Li Bida pushed the two teenagers away and signaled them to leave the place.

Then, Li Bida went up to the two and their guards and saluted, "The Token Officer has already told me the two great achievements. He will soon receive you in the hall of the town hall, and then he will give a speech at the Grand Temple of Atasia in Utica, declaring the end of the cruel civil war."

"End?" Casio said with a sneer, "As far as I know, Pompeii's two sons with strong revenge, and a huge fleet were not wiped out in the Balearic Islands, Lipo is still there, and Rabinus is still alive, they are all outstanding talents no less than Caesar, and they can at any time bring about a storm that can overturn Caesar's ship. Now I am eager to declare the end of the war. Is it because of the former cavalry commander, you are anxious to retire to the countryside and live a luxurious life like you shelter your Lord's life? As we all know, Caesar is now obedient to you."

"For I have never deviated from him not only from the Rubicon River, but from the time you were elected as a high priest, this is the runway I chose at the Grand Arena of Rome." Li Bida calmed down, and then he turned to Brutu and said, "As for the war between the remnants of Ziping Pompei, I will meet with His Excellency Caesar and appoint his command to you, Brutu and Tlureas, the two Spanish governors."

This answer was beyond Brutu's expectations. He stared at Li Bida, who looked like a lying Libida, who looked like he didn't look like a lying, and said something, but was blocked by Kasio in time. "I'd better invite you to guide us to ask for merit from Caesar. Because we brought the heads of Scipio and Cruise. Your Excellency."

"This is natural." Then Li Bida leaned forward slightly, made a welcome gesture, and took the lead in climbing up the stairs.

In the synagogue, Caesar was indeed discussing the topic of "the restoration of the Republic after the Civil War". Then he saw Brutu, and enthusiastically opened his arms and said that he would welcome my child. Then he hugged Brutu, who looked a little embarrassed. Li Bida took the lead in cheering and applauding enthusiastically, and then everyone around him shouted the preciousness of peace and the warmth of family affection.

"Your Excellency, I want to talk about the recovery of the Republic, the more practical and close issue, the issue of the dismissal of provinces and legions during wartime. Now your legions are close to forty. Since the civil war has ended, in order to save national strength, it seems to have reached the point of large-scale layoffs." Kasio said in the head.

Caesar, who received this core topic, smiled and sat down again, and replied to Casio. "I had previously been in the city of Rome, and had ordered several legions to be retired early. In the next year, I will release or dismiss three to four legions every year. In the end, I will only retain the number of legions that can protect Rome and the auxiliary garrisons in various regions. My budget is no more than twenty."

"That is to say, according to the law of Rome, and the number sequence you used to serve as governor of Gaul, the auxiliary army after ten should be the first to be dismissed and can be completed as soon as possible, because Rome did not have the tradition of retiring the auxiliary army, isn't it more appropriate to be reasonable? Right, yours." Kassio finally raised the topic of inducing war, and everyone on the spot understood that this was obviously for Li Bida, because his direct armed forces were six, twelve, thirteen, fifteen, sixteen, twenty-seven, twenty-eighth and seven, plus the thirty-three and thirty-four gifts from Adianna, except for one, the numbers were all tenth legions, and they were all auxiliary soldiers.

"When the lion killed another lion, the carrion-eating jackal finally stood in front of the residue and announced his request and victory with smugness!" This was made by Anthony beside Caesar. He was filled with anger and shouted at Casio and Brutu.

Brutu also took a step forward angrily, pointing at Anthony and said, "Please pay attention to your words. You are the grandson of the orator Anthony. Don't forget that you and I are both responsible for rebuilding the Republic. But what I know is that the Republic is not maintained by the terror of the army, not to mention that we have also killed the ocean in order to eliminate the Pompeii party. There are enough people who have died now, so there is no need to continue to retain the root of the chaos."

"Yes, killing. It is said that you used forty warships to defeat the strong with the weak, and bravely attacked Scipio and Cruise, who were left with only one single row boat, and killed two people, taking three Mauritanian monkeys. What a great victory! I think His Excellency Caesar should transfer his great triumphal style to you, because you two can please the special fathers in Julia's hall." At this time, Anthony's poisonous tongue skill was fully fired.

Just as Brutu was preparing to argue, Kassio shouted that there was no need to know the wild dogs who were expelled from Rome. Then he continued to chase and beat the ball to the key figures, Caesar and Li Bida, or the proposal to dismiss the Legion.

"Although the civil war ended, I immediately planned two expeditions, one was to avenge Parthia, at least to bring back the captured soldiers and the eagle flag, and force the other party to sign a city alliance that is beneficial to the Republic; the other was to an expedition against Dacia, and I hope to control the entire Black Sea to guard against the outbreak of wars like Mitradati. So my subsequent plan was that Libida and I each retained four legions, while Kasio and Tlureas each retained two legions. Your task was to continue to clear out the remnants of Pompeii, or accept their submission. Therefore, I still maintained my original view of the dismissal of the auxiliary army, and I dismissed once every three years, and slowly planned it." Obviously, Caesar was smoothing out the field for Libida, and he still needed Libida now, although what Kasio said was more beneficial to his long-term power.

Just as everyone was clamoring, Li Bida suddenly shouted, "I am willing to accept the request of the Chief Executive Lusitania and dismiss the corresponding legion."

In this way, even Anthony didn't understand what his friend was selling. He was surprised and spread his hands open. Kassiyo stayed there for a while. His original picture was to force Li Bida to submit, at least to dismantle part of his direct armed forces. As for the Dacia expedition, Kassiyo had no intention of competing with Li Bida. He wanted the other party to leave the farther away, and it would be better not to return.

After stabilizing his emotions, Kassiyo laughed twice and asked how much Li Bida was preparing to "dismiss".
