Chapter 30 Nameplate of Life and Death (1)

"Furious can make the army build great achievements, but the difficulty is that this passion cannot last." - Military scientist Yomini

———————————————

After a while, the three of them delivered the sign to the table, in front of Anthony, "Two to one, I'm going to Li Bida." Anthony said after reading it.

Curio immediately understood everything, his ugly face twisted, rushed up in anger, shouting at Wendys, saying that he was a Corsican bastard, and he remembered that he was half a Sardinian, and foolishly regarded himself as Li Bida's direct descendant. Then Curio's words became more aggressive. He directly called Wendys a "cheap Sardinian" and he regarded his soul and loyalty more cheaply.

"Cheap Sardinians" is a Roman saying, and there is also a variation, which is "as cheap as Sardinia". After the Roman Republic conquered this huge island, it sold everyone on the island into slavery. For a time, the slave market was overcrowded, and everyone sold it at an extremely low price, so this insulting common saying came into being.

These words made Anthony angry because Wendy was his most trusted general. He has always been very brave and experienced in combat, and his figure is burly and tall, which is the type that Anthony likes. So he repeatedly said that Curio had lost his mind and asked the entourage to take him out and calm down. "Marco, think about it carefully! Everyone deceived you out of selfishness. If you bow to Libidaus at this moment, then there will be no chance to turn around in the future." Curio was still shouting to Anthony while being "gifted out".

Although the vote decided, Anthony was still frowning. After a while, he drank two sips of wine, cleared his throat and said to Leo directly, "If your good friend Tulinus sold me to your father in a blink of an eye, my head would be sent back to Rome as a public enemy, what should I do?"

"My father will not harm you, I am here." Leo said sincerely.

Anthony nodded in emotion and then said, "I believe you are the bastard." Then he asked the documents beside him to draft a reply to Octavian, saying that he was willing to join forces with him, but warned Octavian not to disobey Lee Bida and to allow everyone to participate in this alliance. In short, he decided to continue speculation.

Because the distance between the camps of the two armies was not particularly far, when Octavian received a reply, he only worked day in a day. When he understood Anthony's hint, he said to himself, "I want to make myself the protagonist of this alliance." Then he ordered all the cavalry captains to prepare horses, and he would go to the Rubicon River in person to welcome his guardians and tell all the legions' children to fight before. On the other hand, he instructed people to tell Anthony that he would control all his troops and wait for the next news.

Octavian's request was to take all the guards, as well as the power and sticks of the acting officers, as well as the flag bearers and veterans of the six legions, followed him. He kept wondering how to give everyone a deep impression of the war. As long as he gave Li Bida and Panza "present" in the scene and style, that would be fine. After all, I am the "Young Caesar" and I am the banner and benchmark of the Julius family's cause.

When it was dusk, on the side of the Rubicon River in the setting sun, Agripa and others finally discovered the camps of the three legions. Octavian then asked all the guards and ceremonial guards to be arranged neatly, and then asked the two cavalry captains to send a message, "Sir Caesar requested the two consuls to cross the river to come for an interview and discuss the matter of the entire republic."

But after a while, only Pansa came on a horse and waded over. After giving Octavian a friend's gift, he told the other party the edict of the Senate under the presidency of Cicero.

As a result, Octavian almost vomited blood and fell down. It turned out that he had been working hard for a long time. When he arrived in Cicero's mouth, he could only share the God-given sacrifice with Pansa and Dehimos. Dehimos turned around and saved his life, power and army. He himself was nothing. After returning to Rome, he would start as an ordinary legal officer and suffer contemptuous evaluations from many people that "rely rely on the protection of his adoptive father and his guardian father-in-law." Perhaps he could run for the consul for more than ten years, because Cicero promised him that he could run for ten years in advance, but by then he had already become a canary in the cage. More importantly, the Senate did not reward the Sixth and Twelve Legions at all. What did he use to win over these two legions? They would immediately leave themselves without any obstacles and nostalgia and throw themselves into the arms of the original owner.

In the night wind, Octavian held back again. He told himself to calm down and not to be impulsive. Then he put down his airs and asked Pansa with a smile, where his guardian and father-in-law were. Is it because the military affairs were too busy and I didn’t have time to come out to see him. "It doesn’t matter. I was looking for a ferry just now. I immediately cross the river to pay homage to him?"

Octavian called "father-in-law" very much, but Pansa regretfully replied that the consul Libidaus had taken the guards to leave the camp first, two days ago.

“Where did you go?”

Pansa said in a mysterious tone, "I went to Anthony's camp, and now I must have arrived. His horse is very fast--you know that the Caesars should not fall apart anymore. It is time to put aside their grudges and go hand in hand. Libidaus asked me to tell you, and he will come to contact you soon."

Now Octavian's eyes were almost blackened, and he immediately fell on the saddle, as if he was seriously ill.

The initiative of the entire situation was easily taken away completely, and Caesar could only be respectfully "dried" by the Rubicon River.

In Anthony's camp, there were crowds of people, and many soldiers were holding wooden fences, some climbing up the tower like monkeys. They saw that in front of the camp, Li Bida brought twenty entourages and guards with twenty men, on the left, on the right, Dussenvier, and on the front was walking Alp, standing there, holding a horse whip, and shouting to everyone, "I am here to unify the Caesar party as the consul and high priest of the Republic, and to dispel the public enemy of the Anthony and the Gaius brothers. Of course, if Anthony agrees, you will no longer be public enemies."

After a while, Anthony's eyes were filled with tears and walked out with the cheers of the officers and soldiers. This time he knelt in front of Li Bida again, but from the heart: As expected, Leo was right, Li Bida still cared about his friendship with him, and forgave him and his family for the second time.

Following Anthony was Leo, wearing a red cloak of military guardians. He slowly stepped forward and stood sideways, saluting his father and Parumma, "Father, brother."
