Chapter 25 The False Love (Part 2)

"Of course, I don't like those bastards of Kasio and Brutu. You have to know that Libidaus, you are the fathers who fought side by side with Caesar many years ago. This is recognized by me, Bisso and the entire family, but those two guys were originally from Pompeii's camp, and they were captured and surrendered until you crossed the strait. Moreover, their actions are very suspicious now." Bisso agreed with no wish, and then he said that he had joined forces with Caesar's wife and relatives. Kota, Dicias and Pedis both recognized Turinus's current inheritance rights to Caesar.

So Li Bida took out a document from the box of his servant Mathia and gave Bisuo a look. After reading it, the other party was surprised, "What, Caesar wants to open up the isthmus of Corinth?"

The capital legal officer nodded and said that Caesar had 6,000 prisoners in the Apheriga War, two thousand of whom were all stuffed into the Colosseum after the completion of the New Venus Temple, and none of them survived. Another 4,000 were robbed by the little Pompei brothers in the Balearic Islands. However, there were eight thousand prisoners captured from the Gaul War. Caesar never sold them to the people as slaves, but kept them for personal use. Originally, he was sure.

When the war with Pompei was exhausted, the group of people was liberated and a new legion was formed to kill the death. However, the progress of the war was so smooth that Caesar was surprised. So now he ordered the group to follow Libida's archaeological fleet to go to the Isthmus of the Lime Cliff of Corinth and open it into a waterway. In this way, the ocean transportation of Italy and the entire Little Asia and Greece would be much more convenient, and would be a great project that could change the world.

But Bisso obviously thought Caesar was crazy because he was preparing to drain the entire Tacon Plain swamp and build a new Roman city on it. "There will be about 200,000 soon. Rich people, technicians, craftsmen and philosophers who were granted citizenship flocked to the new city. The Roman city, which was as narrow as an ant nest, would be replaced by masonry and stone buildings, and the roads would also be paved with large flat stones, so the old banks of the Tiber River in the past needed to be completely transformed." Caesar planned to dig the isthmus and rebuild Rome to about 10,000 Tarante, of which he took out two thousand of his private money, four thousand of the Holy Custody, and the rest would be withdrawn from the Executive Yuan tax year by year.

But when Bisso expressed doubts about the feasibility of the project, Li Bida smiled and said that this result was not what we care about now. Then he took out a stack of documents and whispered: "Now that kid Kasio has caused public resentment in Lusitania and Betica in faraway Spain. I sent out many indigenous chiefs and colonial groups who had shelter there to send fierce confessions, saying that Kasio and Tlureas each recruited two regular legions and wanted to collect three to four alliance auxiliary legions, plus three thousand cavalrymen. Brutu, who is the financial officer, also instructed his taxpayers to extort and defraud, making the entire province miserable - when they return to the capital and officially take office as legal officers, I guess the litigants who are chasing will fill the entire citizen square."

"What is this guy doing? I heard from his accounting slaves that Kasio now has nearly a thousand Tarantes debts. He seems to be fishing out of the water and using the entire Spain to piece together a huge army for himself." Bisso muttered.

"It's very simple. He wanted to take over the power of the expedition with Brutu. When Kassi was dating, he tried every means to become the governor of Syria and went to Parthia, while Brutu, as the governor of Macedonia, went to Dacia, and took the opportunity to be detrimental to Caesar and seize power again in the republic, because they inherited the will of Pompeii and Gatu. I think they would bribe more swingers when necessary. Now Etius is their agent in the Senate, and he will also fight for Cicero, Dihimos, Urabella, etc., an alliance against us is secretly ready to move." Li Bida said expressionlessly.

Bisuo was obviously frightened by the seriousness of the matter. He said directly, I support you to be the governor of Syria and Anthony to be the governor of Macedonia, but Li Bida did not give a clear answer, but just smiled without saying a word, saying that he was only responsible for two things now, to carry out the isthmus digging project and excavation of the ancient city of Troy.

"Then I will pay you another 600 Tarent fund from Saint Curry." Bisso immediately offered a bid code.

Li Bida nodded with pleasure, "My subordinate Oplik, he has hundreds of strong and loyal sword-fighting slaves, and is willing to protect you and Caesar's wife. In addition, I have two veterans who have been placed in Li Bida Fort. I will resuscitate them when appropriate to rescue the situation in Rome. In addition, please tell the dictator about my concerns, because Caesar does not believe that Brutu has betrayed him." This is an obvious strategy of retreating and advancing, asking Bisso to rush forward for the time being to attract firepower. He can use a few months to arrange the entire sequence without letting Caesar notice.

So although Li Bida said in advance that it would take two months to collect archaeologists, in fact, he put all the teams, fleets and funds in four market days, and was busy at both ends: 300 historians, poets, craftsmen, 8,000 Gaul prisoners of war workers, and seventy ships, carrying a large amount of utensils, money and food. It was not like an engineering team, but like a fleet that was spending battles, setting sail from Brindisi.

There were also figures of Leo and Turinus in this team. At this time, the two teenagers received the names of their respective families, "Lebida" and "Octavian". They were also awarded the title of cavalry captain by Caesar. Under the arrangement of their mothers and sisters, they wore a proud cloak, armor, and excellent horse harnesses and brave mounts. The two horses were carefully selected by Libida's subordinates from Cyranny's stables and specially presented by boat.

"Young guys, you are so handsome, what a good look!" In front of the port camp, Li Bida happily held the whip tip and praised him as he watched the two young men ridiculously drive each other and play.

There were also two teenagers running and panting. When Li Bida saw one of them with gorgeous armor and delicate expressions, he smiled and opened his arms to welcome him, "This is Mesenas, the son of my friend Knight Kaimax. You have come from Etruscan, my dear!"
