Chapter 28 Cicero's Great Victory (Part 2)

So this condition strengthened Cicero's confidence. In the subsequent public debate, he showed his strengths, constantly sarcastic, sarcastic and refuted all those who dared to argue against the argument. For example, he invited Etius to go out of the city now and negotiated with four legions. "Maybe I should allocate half of the legions to you as bodyguards, but they may also sell you for five hundred Seths at the camp of Libida." "Is there anyone here who is closer to Libidaus than me? I am familiar with him, and I know him, but he just hopes to get a fair result. When Caesar crossed the Rubicon, Little Gatu once said that Pompei was not prepared at all and rashly provoked a war. Now this comment is perfect for some people."

Next, Cicero kept promising, "Young Caesar is a young man who admires me very much, and Li Bida is willing to sit in the seat and chat with me. Now the city of Rome is like a field full of dry firewood and fire, all of which are legions. If the orders of the Senate are slightly extreme, they will inevitably ignite a craze like a disaster and burn you and me to death. So we are dancing a dance dedicated to the shepherd god on the vines, so we must believe that the true elders will calm all this."

With the use of both soft and hard work of Cicero, many senators have surrendered, and the Senate has not been afraid of swords. However, it was only a moment when facing the invasion of foreign enemies. The people were willing to accept the leadership of the specially elected father at this moment, but they were afraid that like Marius and Sura, these cancers that grew on the body of the republic had no law or logic. They could do whatever they wanted, as long as the support and recognition of the legion.

The final vote recognized Cicero's proposal with a 70% to 30%.

Sipingzel collapsed in his seat dejectedly. He said to himself that everything was over. The current republic is like a huge fortress, which looks impeccable from the outside. However, when each fortress city is built, God sets a gap for it. As long as the enemy knows the gap, any soldier stands there, or even splashes the blood of a woman on it, the city wall will collapse automatically. The tower will automatically tilt, and the defenders will automatically collapse. In the huge and prosperous city, it will turn into ruins, its glory will become passing clouds and smoke. Citizens who once enjoyed freedom and were ungrateful and unhappy will be retribution for their chatter and stupidity. They once hated the elite, but now no elite is willing to protect them anymore. Their retribution has come, that is, they will become slaves forever.

Then, Cicero issued a series of edicts in front of everyone as the senior chairman on duty:

Hejius was given the treatment of state funeral, and he praised the heroic Forty-Two and Forty-Three Legions. He was awarded the eagle mark and the flower crown, and then allowed them to participate in the triumphal ceremony, and each soldier was rewarded with one hundred dinar silver coins;

For the Ninth and Tenth Legions who had abandoned the darkness and turned to the light from Anthony, the Senate specially allocated 500 dinar silver coins from the national treasury to reward each person;

He held a twelve-day God-Share Festival for Dihimos who bravely resisted Anthony in Mutina City, and held an eight-day God-Share Festival for the two consuls who bravely rescued the city of Mutina City, and thanked Caesar, who also commanded the army, and was in it;

The original high priest Meirut was transferred to second-level consul, and Libidaus took over the vacant high priest position;

The mission of pursuing Anthony was fully responsible for Dihemoth. The position of Governor of Shannan Gaul in Dihemoth remained unchanged. The mission of Caesar came to an end. He could return to Rome and take over one of the seats of the twelve legal officers.

After promulgating these, Cicero raised his hand to everyone and shouted, "The unstability of the Republic can disappear with this order!" The same call for him was also the one who returned to him: Li Bida got what he wanted, Anthony was at the end of his journey, and Young Caesar immediately had to come back. On the long road of enduring experience, the forces of the Caesar Party were about to be successfully split and dissolved.

There is no doubt that in Cicero's arrangement, his contempt and burial towards Caesar had reached the pinnacle.

In the camp outside the city, the soldiers of the four legions shouted the slogan "Inperato" as if they were attending a celebration. They bought various flower crowns, ringing bells and small gifts from the camp and rushed to Libida's camp to celebrate. Many people fell in front of the statue of King Numa to bow to him. Libida smiled and walked out, stepped onto the black horse, and ran around the boundaries of the camp's trenches. With the cheers of the soldiers, they dismounted and walked into the camp. After a while, when he walked out, he changed his clothes and opened his special olive branch hats used by the high priest, and put on a sheepskin cloak with a vest. "Long live the high priest! Long live the Rex!" After seeing this, the soldiers reached their best mood. They clasped each other with their arms, raised them high and lowered them, and shouted like a surging ocean.

"This is the last day for me to take office as your commander, and it may be the first day for me to get the position of high priest, because the high priest was elected by the People's Congress, not the group of hundreds of people in the Grand Colonial Mars, so I call on all of you to help."

Li Bida's meaning was very obvious. At that time, except for the left-behind veterans, everyone immediately took off their military uniforms, hid a short dagger, walked out, and went to the assembly hall to vote for Li Bida. This was an extremely convenient thing during the Three-headed Monster period. Caesar repeatedly asked the legion soldiers to return to Rome during the winter camp to vote for Crassus and Pompey, or their respective agents and confidants, and sought various positions.

The result is self-evident. Li Bida wore such a costume that night, and walked into the Jukola Street in the crossing of new citizens and soldiers, like Caesar of the old citizens, but no longer returned to the apartment he had rented in Rome, but entered the luxurious and exclusive official residence of the high priest, who had become the owner of the place.

On the shelves of the cabinet in the official residence, Li Bida slowly placed the strange bronze statue of the man and cow left by the Lord during his lifetime on it, looking at it intently, but he knew that everything was not over yet.

The next day, at the assembly in the Senate Hall, Li Bida arrived on time and asked the two consuls to take over their legions and cooperate with Diximos to pursue Anthony. As the high priest, he should sit on Capitola Mountain.

"It's enough to pursue Anthony, just have Dihemoth's legion and Young Caesar's legion." At this time, Cicero said.

But Li Bida smiled, "Will my six legions accept the disposal of being dismissed on the spot?"

He smiled in the synagogue with voluntary voluntary sneering, as if mocking everyone, almost everyone was stunned. Then Cicero proposed, "You can ask Pansa and Merut to take over the mission of this conquest." (To be continued, please search Piaotianwen, the novel is better and faster!
