Planet Rebirth

"Why do you want to arrest me?" Caesar tightly clutched his teacup, staring at Pompey in front of him with a pair of eagle-like eyes.

"No, no, of course not!" Pompey waved his hand, dispelling Caesar's thoughts, and continued: "The matter hasn't come to that side yet, and you can still sit here, which means that the Senate is only acting against you Objections have been lodged and it has not yet been found an unforgivable crime."

"Otherwise, I'm already decapitated." Caesar smiled coldly.

Pompey stared at Caesar and said quietly: "I haven't seen you for a few years, you have changed a lot, my old friend. I don't know what changed you, but your words and deeds now are incompatible with your vows back then."

After Caesar glanced at Yang Rui, he said to Pompey: "People will change because of the surrounding environment. You are pampered and pampered in the city of Rome, and you don't understand the hardships of Gaul at all. You will not understand my state of mind."

Pompeo said: "But you have distributed all the wealth that originally belonged to the republic to the soldiers, and let them be loyal to you alone. Even if I send officials, I can't control these people."

"What?" Caesar said loudly, "You went to the barracks to take back my military power while I was in the city?"

Pompey smiled wryly and said: "But things are not going well. The Gaul Legion is only following your orders now, and the officials sent by the Senate have been locked up by them."

Caesar smiled smugly and said: "The senate treats a person who punished the republic in this way. The soldiers' eyes are sharp. Of course they know how to do things."

"But you have crossed the line." Pompey reminded Caesar: "You are now on the verge of danger! Whether you are a hero or an enemy of Rome is just a matter of one thought."

Caesar asked, "What do you want to say, please speak up."

Pompey said: "There are two roads before you. The first is to hand over your military power immediately. We are still friends, and you are still a Roman hero. A grand banquet and endless glory are still waiting for you."

"What is the second way?"

Pompey said: "Lisus, the king of the city-state of Sague, has been complaining to me. The Macedonians have recently started to harass their borders again, and they have forgotten all the lessons a few years ago. So I have promised Lisus again. Seuss requests to send troops to help the city-state of Saguene fight against the Macedonians."

Pompeii paused and said: "The determination of the Macedonians to go north has never been relaxed. They dream of stepping into the land of Rome and revisiting the glory of Alexander. We cannot let their wishes come true. Besides, if we let them occupy The city-states of Saguena, then they will soon be able to push their borders down to the Ravana region, and then we must accept the danger of being bordered by a powerful country that wants to annex us at any moment. That will not be acceptable to Rome. So the Senate has authorized me to ask you and your army to cross the Adriatic Sea to deal with the Macedonians."

"When are you leaving?" Caesar asked, his eyes fixed on Pompey in front of him.His hands were trembling constantly, and the teacup in his hand seemed to be thrown on Pompey's face at any moment.

"Immediately!" Pompey's answer was firm, seemingly irresistible.

The anger in Caesar's heart was burning, but he was still trying his best to control his emotions.If at this time he loses control and acts irrationally.He is also well aware of the consequences.According to Roman law, all local governors, generals of the legions.From the moment he entered the city of Rome, all his positions and powers were automatically deprived.Stay in the city only as a Roman citizen.Any excesses would be suppressed under the terms of Roman law.No matter how high your official position is.All will be treated equally.At the same time, Caesar also knew that his strength was not enough to fight against the Senate, and most importantly, the support of Roman citizens could not give him the upper hand in the confrontation.

After a long silence, Caesar nodded and said, "I choose the second way."

Pompey slapped his hands and said with a smile, "Dear Caesar, I knew you had a good conscience. I think tonight's banquet will be lively. I can't wait."

After leaving the Senate, Caesar first returned to his residence in Rome.On the way, Anthony chattered and asked, "Why didn't Pompeii kill you? You have already taken a great risk in entering Rome this time."

Caesar snorted and said, "They can't kill me now. If they kill me, neither the Senate nor Pompey himself will be able to face public doubts. Therefore, they can only let me lead the Gaul Legion to continue the campaign. My threat to the city of Rome."

Anthony asked: "Then what if you disagree with the second way?"

Caesar said: "Pompeii is also a smart man. He knows that I will definitely not choose the first option, but he can't kill me. It is worth using this method to consume my strength."

Yang Rui said suddenly: "Pompeii is very clever in doing this. Besides, I can tell you that he has other tricks to deal with you."

Caesar asked, "What trick?"

Yang Rui said: "The north coast of the Mediterranean Sea is the sphere of influence of Pompeii. The Southern Legion of Rome is stronger than your Gallic Legion in terms of numbers and equipment. This is a trap. If you go, it is tantamount to entering the Pompeii Legion." At this time, your crime of treason has already been drawn up, and when you are surrounded, the Senate will immediately announce it to the whole country, and then Pompeii’s Southern Army will immediately launch an attack on you.”

After hearing this, Caesar seemed a little nervous, and he asked, "Then what should I do?"

Yang Rui smiled and said, "Don't worry, what you have to think about now is not combat."

Caesar asked, "Then what should I consider?"

Yang Rui said: "At present, the first thing you have to consider is the attitude of the Romans towards you. You have to make them love you more and be crazy about you."

Anthony said, "What needs to be done?"

Yang Rui said: "In this world, no one will refuse wealth and happiness. Give the Romans wealth and happiness, and they will be loyal to you. As for the war, as long as you win, you can make up stories as you like."

Caesar said with a smile: "Since you told me about this, I have the confidence to defeat the Southern Legion. Back then I only brought two legions into Gaul, and the Gauls were twenty times larger than me. I was never afraid, and I have defeated them. This time, the Army of the South will also be defeated by me."

Caesar thought for a while and said to Yang Rui: "Since you said that you want to bring wealth and joy to the Romans, then from the banquet in Pompeii tonight, all the people in Rome will know that I am a kind and generous man who can give They bring joy and wealth to the people!"
