Roman Slave Owner

"I think you have also heard the news and know why I came here with 12 legions and more than 20,000 cavalry. My purpose is to expedition to Germany. Since they have come to Gaul, I am very happy to fight with them in Gaul. battle."

Levy said, "If you are willing to stay and resist them, I think we will be the best allies."

"I'm sorry, I don't have an alliance mission with you, but I will convey your words to our leader."

Divigo said.

Li Wei nodded, "My conditions will not change. It is impossible to pass through Shanbei Gaul, so don't persuade me."

He still has a little memory of history. He remembers that after other Gaul tribes allowed the Helvets to pass, the Helvets robbed everywhere along the way, forcing those tribes who had good intentions with them to have to Start a war with them, so this hole must not be opened.

"I see, I'm going to reply to our leader now."

Divigo looked helpless.

Li Wei tried to persuade him to stay, but Di Weiguo finally left.

Li Wei pondered for a while, then the Helvetians will go to the Sequani and Aedui.

Most likely they would agree, and then it would be war.

As allies of the Romans, the Aedui would probably send someone to ask for help.

As their ally, of course I have the obligation to send troops to help.

But Li Wei didn't intend to help them, so he decided to hide from them.

How should I avoid them?

Li Wei soon had an idea, and that was to go to Illyria Province.

As the governor of the three provinces, how can he be more generous than this? Of course, he must go to the Illyrian province to inspect it, which is absolutely indispensable.

So it didn't take long before he took the Guards and three brigades of cavalry to Illyria. At the same time, he sent someone to persuade the Aedui, the allies of the Romans, not to let them pass.

However, the development of things was completely beyond his expectations. Not only the Helvetia planned to move westward, but even the Sequani people also planned to move westward.

There are ten most powerful tribes in Gaul and nearly a hundred small tribes. Sequani is one of them. They live near the middle reaches of the Rhine.

The friendship between the Aedui and the two races was very good, so they were allowed to pass.

But when they passed, they plundered food and all kinds of supplies, which made the Aedui furious.

As the most powerful tribe in central Gaul, the Aedui naturally had their arrogance, so they fought against these enemies and sent people to ask Li Wei for help.

But when they came to Ravenna, Li Wei had left Shannan Gaul to inspect Illyria a month ago.

"Do you know where he is going to patrol?"

asked the Gaul envoy anxiously.

Facing the attack of the two major tribes of Gaul and other small tribes, the pressure on the Aedui people was actually great, and they urgently needed the support of the Romans.

"The governor said that he intends to observe the situation of the people, and at the same time conduct a secret visit to the officials, so he has not booked an itinerary. However, he said that he will go to the Danube River Basin in the Alps in a month to see if he can attack the Germans from there. You can go Illyria ask."

Lysias said very skillfully that he was completely familiar with how to deal with these messengers.

"Alps?"

The envoy was taken aback. It would be difficult to find him if he entered the Alps. He had to find Li Wei as soon as possible.

So he and several entourages rode towards Illyria on war horses. After all kinds of inquiries and painstaking efforts, they finally found Li Wei.

"Respected Governor, you know the current situation. The Sequani, Helvetians and more than a dozen tribes dispatched hundreds of thousands of troops to attack us. I hope the Governor can send troops to rescue."

A big Celtic man with long red hair who looked extremely fat said excitedly.

Now he was so excited that he was about to cry, he finally found Li Wei, and it would be over if he couldn't find his Aiduyi.

Li Wei glanced at him indifferently. This big man was named Dunorex, and he was the younger brother of the leader of the Aedui.

He was a real careerist, with the ambition of unifying Gaul, and was extremely unfriendly to the Romans, so he married the daughter of the leader of Helvetia.

In order to win over the Helvetians, it was he who insisted on allowing the Helvetians to pass through the Aedui territory. Unexpectedly, something happened and he eagerly asked for help.

"I remember reminding you that it's best not to let them pass through your territory, or something serious will happen."

Levi said.

"Yes, it's all our fault. We didn't listen to the governor's advice seriously. We are willing to accept the punishment, but we still ask the governor to send troops to rescue him."

Dunorex said, as if he could be beaten or punished.

Li Wei snorted coldly, what are you doing to save you? Saved you and made you rebel against the Romans?

The current Aedui people are certainly allies of the Romans, and their leaders are also full of friendship towards Rome.

But the Aedui people were full of ambition to unify Gaul, which was absolutely intolerable to the Romans.

In the eyes of the Gauls, the Romans and the Germans are actually the same, they are all foreign invaders.

The most important thing is that the Aedui people will join almost all the Gauls to rebel against the Romans in a few years, which is unacceptable to Li Wei.

"I don't think the Romans should be involved in this war, it's all because you didn't listen to me."

Levi said.

"But we are allies of the Romans. We are under attack. You Romans are obliged to send troops to help."

Dunorex was a little anxious, and said quickly.

"It is not impossible for us to send troops, but our army is used to attack the Germans, not the Gauls, so you need to pay all the costs of this war."

Levi said.

"How many?"

Dunorex asked.

"Enough food for 12 legions and 26,000 cavalrymen for two months, 2,000 full sets of weapons and armor for replacement, 20,000 arrows, 5,000 javelins, and 2 million dinars for military expenses, I think this It's not expensive."

Li Wei said with a smile.

In the previous life, Caesar helped the Aedui to resist the attack of other Gaul tribes, but the Aedui was bewitched by Dunorex, and they were unwilling to give any food.

Of course, Li Wei can't repeat the same mistakes. If he wants us to send troops, he must pay the price first.

But he was unwilling to force the Aedui to the side of the Helvetians, so the conditions were very low.

The most important thing is that Li Wei hopes that the three families can have a good time, so he wants to delay as much as possible.

Dunorex heaved a sigh of relief. He thought that the Aedui could bear this amount of money, although it might hurt his muscles and bones.

"There is no problem with this. When will you send troops?"

Dunorex asked.

"We'll send troops when you gather all the supplies and give them to us."

Levi said.

"Can you hand it over later, you know we are in a critical moment now, and we simply can't get these things out."

Dunorex said.

During the war, no matter how much supplies were enough, what's more, Li Wei actually wanted a lot.

Speaking of armor and weapons, it is not enough to arm oneself, so how can it be drawn out to supply Li Wei.

"Are you kidding me? I don't think I'm asking for much."

Li Wei's face immediately changed, "If anyone knows that this thing can help 12 legions and 26,000 cavalry, many people will be willing to pay for it."

"Your Excellency, please trust our reputation."

Dunorex said.

Li Wei chuckled, the Gauls have credibility?

Are you kidding me? Not to mention rebellion at every turn, Caesar sent troops to help you deal with the enemy in the last life, but you were unwilling to give food for a few days. The culprit seems to be this guy in front of you.

"Here is my condition. You can go back and discuss it with your brother. I am going to the Alps next. I hope you can send what I want as soon as possible."

Levi said.

"My lord governor, how much time has passed in this trip, plus raising supplies, we will die a lot of people."

Dunorex said eagerly.

Li Wei waved his hand, signaling him not to speak.

"I understand your difficulties. As an ally, I allow you to retreat to the Gaul in the north of the mountain to avoid the enemy. In addition, I hope that I can mediate for you. The Germans are our common enemy, and we should not engage in internal friction."

Dunorex begged bitterly, but Li Wei refused anyway, and finally Dunorex said with a wry smile: "I will convey your words to my brother."

After seeing Dunorex leave, Li Wei snorted coldly.

It's hard to work with a group of people who know they're going to rebel, and hopefully they'll have more of their mutual animosity.

More than three months have passed, and it seems that it is impossible for me to go on an expedition to Germany this year.

The Roman Forum was crowded with people, and Catiline was giving a speech.

"Dear citizens of Rome, just over a month ago, a very terrible thing happened in Rome. Several people came to assassinate me. They wanted to make my death an accident, so they didn't kill me directly. Kill me. Fortunately, I was blessed by Jupiter, and my friend's guard happened to be nearby, and they rescued me in time, and caught those who tried to assassinate me."

"I wanted to say my friend's name to express my gratitude to him, because he is a man of high character, kindness, charity, courage and sincerity, and all the good qualities in the world can be added to him. But when I asked After knowing who was behind the scenes, my friend begged me not to reveal his name. Not only him, but even I fled Rome in fright and dared not return to Rome for more than a month.”

"Even to this day, I dare not speak his name, not only because I am afraid of death, but also because I am afraid of bringing disaster to Rome."

After hearing Catiline's words, those Roman citizens talked a lot.

Who was it that even Catiline dared not speak his name? And it will bring disaster to Rome.

You must know that Catiline was a former justice and the governor of Africa.

There are only two or three people in Rome with this kind of strength, and soon Li Wei's name came to their minds.

There are many powerful people in Rome, but Li Wei is the only one who has the ability to bring disaster to Rome.

When Sidhigus sued Li Wei, the result directly triggered the Spartacus riots. This is what happened two years ago, and they still remember it vividly.

Cicero, Geta and the others looked at him with gloomy faces, but they did not expect Catiline to return to Rome, and once he returned to Rome, he uttered nonsense.

"But today I summoned up the courage to go back to Rome, because I didn't want to die, and I knew that if I kept avoiding, I would be killed by them. I dare not report the man whose name cannot be named, but I dare report his My subordinates. And I want to compete for the treasurer, I think only the identity of the elder can save me from being assassinated, I sincerely hope that you can help me. Your support is saving an innocent life."

Catiline said loudly.

Seeing this, some surrounding elders applauded one after another.

Another elder said: "Catiline, well said. Don't be afraid, we support you."

"Thanks."

Catiline said with a smile.

Driven by some people, the applause here became more and more intense.

The smile on Catiline's face became wider and wider, although Li Wei drove him out of the Senate.

But this assassination gave him a chance, which made him win the support of Crassus and other dignitaries.

With their support, his return to the Senate will also become smooth sailing.

After reading Catiline's return declaration, Cicero and some elders came to the Vatican and discussed the matter.

After knowing this, Emilia felt very headache.

Since Li Wei left, she had to decide on many things in the end, and only then did she know how difficult it is to be a leader.

"Who is he planning to report?"

Emilia asked.

"Markion and Brutium."

Cicero said.

Emilia felt that the intelligence team was about to die, and their two most important leaders were sued by the enemy.

"Cicero, will you let the augurs control the date of the assembly?"

Emilia asked.

Once Catiline filed a lawsuit, it would definitely be a capital offense, so a citizens' assembly would definitely be held for trial.

"I can't do this. I just took office, and the relationship with them is a bit stiff."

Cicero said.

Everyone understood Cicero's difficulties, and the relationship between the Holy Church and the Roman Catholic Church was already very tense.

As a representative figure introduced by the holy religion, it is very good to be able to ensure that the two sects will not conflict. This is also the task Li Wei gave him.

"However, I speculate that the date is very likely to be a few days before the election day. At that time, all the citizens of Rome will gather in Rome. At that time, our control over the citizens' assembly will be minimized."

Cicero said.

"I understand, remember to use the "Roman Daily" to say more for them."

Emilia said.

"OK."

Cicero said.

"So are we going to..."

Geta made a beheading gesture.

A gleam flashed in Caesar's eyes. Why did they have to kill Catiline? Is there any secret in it?

"We'll talk about this in private, and now we're talking about another thing, which is the selection of the inspector."

Emilia coughed lightly and said, "This matter is very important, and it can even affect the control of the Senate. I hope everyone can treat it with caution. Currently we have three candidates, one is Luculus..."
