"In Türkiye, even if it is a gift from a Christian, even if it is a small gift, it will be suspicious." - Old Moltke, who helped the Ottoman Empire train the army in Istanbul in 1835, said in frustration.

After Malulas escaped privately, the Senate in Rome was shocked three times a day because they could not know the specific movements of Libida's army: Will they rob the towns along the way? Will they attack Rome? Will they... "Deprive all the official titles of Malulas and send other envoys to go. Right, the envoys of full authority can discuss anything about official positions and legions with Libidaus." Cicero instigated in the Senate, but more and more people opposed it, and his attitude became increasingly fierce. The group of people was about to die, and they were unwilling to compromise and wanted to hold those illusory powers until the moment they entered the grave.

Time goes on like this. Whenever a star rises or falls, towns in southern, central, and other parts of Sicily continue to surrender to Libida. Most of them are willing to do so, because they are Latin alliance cities or colonies, which support the Emilius Act proposed by Libida. They are afraid that the Senate will counterattack and deprive them of their rights, but a small number of them are unwilling to accept it, but these are for Libida.

No matter how much he said - because he only asked that the cities along the road and surrounding areas should pay different amounts of money and goods according to their respective population size and economic prosperity. Li Bida used them to store them in the military vault for rewards and rewards of soldiers. In return, Li Bida strictly prohibited the army from stationing in the city. They were also camped in the wild. They were sentenced to ruthlessly punishing soldiers who harassed the people without any mercy, so the speed of advancement was extremely fast.

When he reached the border line of Campenia, the envoys of the Senate had already offered the price of "taken as a dictator", but Li Bida sneered and said some irrelevant words, and sent them away because he understood that the Senate must have used groups of people who were ignorant of death and opposed the appointment openly and secretly. Unlike Pompei, he was not interested in these virtual things at all.

However, what made everyone in the Temple of Concorde breathe a sigh of relief was that Li Bida's four legions stopped at Campenia, for no reason, maybe they were waiting for something, maybe they were afraid of something, maybe they were something that happened.

Cicero's letter was at the same time as Li Bida's token officer. He arrived at Octavian's camp, about ten Romans from the city of Mutina. Four or five furlongs were separated from Anthony's siege position, and was divided by many mountains and rivers.

Anthony also quickly pulled out five, eight, and ten from the besieged army, these three strongest combat forces, as well as all the elite cavalry (about four or five thousand people), and turned back to deal with the "Dear Child Turinus", but in the mobilization of the battle, Anthony concealed everything. He spoke to all the centurions, ten men and cavalry captains and said, "These are all new recruits from the Senate. They have no training and combat experience, they have not even had enough equipment, and there are very few cavalrymen. These people are just to support Diximos.

The reinforcements existed from the Temple of Concorde and Cicero, the group of people like the Beautiful People, and we could easily crush him. You are all the meritorious legions that followed Caesar in the past. Amira on the arm of the chief centurion was more than the jewelry covered with Roman ladies. With my clever decision, we can defeat this army in a short time. As long as this army fails, the city of Mutina cannot support it. As long as you enter Mutina and kill Dihemoth, I declare that the discipline and curfew can be abolished for three days."

"But it is said that the city of Mutina itself starved to death by people and soldiers." Secredirus, the commander of the 10th legion, said with questions.

"Then rob the entire Shannan Gaul Province!" Anthony waved his hand and said in a very grand manner.

After the meeting, Anthony walked out of the tent and inspected the service, he found that Leo was sitting with the clerks, or writing letters to the soldiers in the square of the camp - because since the ultimatum of the Senate was issued, everyone was worried that the family business and relatives would be persecuted.

"It's okay, it's said that Cicero just raised taxes and did not deprive anyone of his life or property." Leo had to comfort him so much after writing a letter.

"You shouldn't be too doting this little baby. I think Sura told everyone back then, beware of the slutty boy named Caesar, who didn't even tie his robe and belt." Next to him, Curio, who was wearing a cloak, walked out, "And I want to warn you Marco today, beware of this one named Leo."

"Why?"

"Because he even tickles his belt when he goes to bed."

Anthony laughed out loud, and then didn't care. "Select a few charming prostitutes from the back camp and sent them to his tent and asked him to loosen his belt. Both Li Bida and his son were so virtuous and serious."

Then, Anthony and Curio separated the Eighth Legion and set up seven chain camps along the line between the four Octavian legions, using hills, dams and ditches, making Octavian think that he wanted to defend for a long time, or to take the city of Mutina first, and defeat him with all his strength.

"Take a tentative attack." Octavian ordered.

Then, fierce cavalry battles were launched in the middle of the confrontation between the two armies. It has to be said that Anthony had a unique vision of choosing a position. This happened to be a narrow plain area, and the cavalry could rush across without much effort. After two days of fighting, Octavian's cavalry team, which was not large in number, was almost destroyed.

Octavian then attempted to take a political offensive. He kept showing up with his entourage and flags, and wanted to pass messages or send messages to the other party's chief. However, Anthony was prepared. The people he sent to lead the team to fight were all trusted centurions, and they would change every battle, so they did not give Octavian the opportunity to penetrate and attack the heart.

In addition, Octavian always found that his command was negative, whether it was the 12th and 6th Legion, or the two legions of Pansar and Hejius. Perhaps everyone looked down on his qualifications and prestige at all. How could he command a arrogant general?

The distressed Octavian could only order Agripa and Mesenas to go out, and take the scout to detect the terrain in detail and find a way to solve it. However, the commanders of several legions held letters from Libida's message, including Pansa and others, and advised Octavian not to be impatient and to set up the formation and hold the camp. "As long as Libidaus brings four legions to join me, Anthony is not afraid at all. You can hand over the command power at that time. The honor after victory is still yours."

After hearing this, Octavian said nothing, but was secretly disheartened, so he still stubbornly asked Agripa and other confidants to go, and sent the captain Avenus to assist.
