After listening to Yang Rui's words, Caesar picked up the helmet on the shelf and walked out of the tent, and said: "No matter who you are, you are here to help me. You are my friend. Come with me!"

Yang Rui followed Caesar and left the tent. The Gaul governor ordered his men to bring in two war horses. He and Yang Rui mounted the horses and left the military camp.

In the very center of the hilly area is the last fortress of the Gauls. This fortress has been surrounded by a hundred thousand Roman legions, but the strong Gauls are still holding on without any intention of retreating.

Caesar urged his horse to reach the high slope, looked at the towering fortress and the Roman military camps surrounding it, sighed and said: "This is the last stronghold of the Gauls here. I have been besieging it for four months.

It's been a long time, but no order to attack has been issued."

Yang Rui said: "You don't want this war to end prematurely."

Caesar nodded and said, "That's because I haven't figured out the next plan yet."

Yang Rui said: "I have pointed out the way for you, you can give the attack order."

Caesar was silent for a while, then resolutely walked down the high slope and came to the front line.

The front line was crowded with dirty-looking Roman soldiers. They all sat on the grass and ate unpalatable military rations. When they saw the commander-in-chief Caesar appeared in front of them, they all had expressions on their faces and no trace of respect in their eyes.

Caesar looked at this group of demoralized soldiers and shouted: "Great Roman soldiers, I know that you are exhausted to the extreme, but right in front of you is the last fortress of our enemy. I assure you that after the victory in the war, high

All the wealth of Lu will be given to you, so that you can return home with gold coins that you cannot carry! This is the solemn promise given to you by me, Caesar!"

When the Roman soldiers heard what Caesar said, they almost didn't believe their ears. They didn't cheer. Instead, they whispered among themselves, thinking that Caesar in front of them was joking with them again.

Caesar continued to say solemnly: "Please believe me, generous Caesar will distribute every gold coin of Gaul to you! This is my oath!"

After speaking, Caesar urged his horse forward and cut a Senate flag into two pieces with a dagger. Suddenly, a burst of cheers broke out in the military formation, and all the soldiers shouted: "Long live Caesar, great commander."

!”

It was also the first time for Caesar to face such cheers, and he seemed particularly excited.

At this time, there was movement in the Gauls' fortress. The gate of the fortress opened, and countless women and children poured out. The Roman soldiers quickly arranged their battle lines under the organization of the generals, for fear that the Gauls would play some tricks.

A total of 30,000 women and children rushed to the Roman front, but their steps were stopped by Roman daggers.

A centurion asked, "Where are you going?"

A Gallic woman who knew Roman language shouted: "We are all women and children, please let us go. There is no food in the city. Sipos in our hands agrees that we leave, and all the men will agree with us."

You fight to the end!"

The news soon reached Caesar. He turned to Yang Rui and asked: "What should I do with these 30,000 women and children?"

Yang Rui said calmly: "Kill them all!"

"Kill them all?" Caesar was surprised and asked: "Why is this? They are all innocent."

Yang Rui stretched out two fingers and said: "Two reasons, firstly, to test the loyalty of these soldiers to you, and secondly, to make the Gauls afraid when they hear your name. In this way, Gaul will be your eternal enemy."

The rear! I hope you understand what I mean."

Caesar still hesitated and said: "This is too cruel!"

Yang Rui said: "In order to convey your will, any sacrifice is worth it. If you can't do this, you can go back to Rome now and pray to those congressmen to give you a way to survive!"

When Caesar heard this, he drew his dagger and said to the centurion: "Send my order to kill all these women and children, leaving no one alive!"

The centurion felt a little confused. He was afraid that he had heard wrongly, so he stood there blankly without moving.

Caesar stared and shouted: "Why are you still standing there? A human head costs three gold coins. The soldiers carried the head to my treasury officer to collect the money! Go and give the order!"

After receiving this exact order, the centurion ran into the army like crazy and shouted: "Kill all these Gauls, three gold coins per head! Hurry and act!"

Before he finished speaking, a shocking roar erupted from the Roman soldiers' formation, and the sharp daggers slashed at the wailing women and children like a mountain of knives. In this hazy afternoon, the entire land of Gaul was covered in blood.

dyed red.

When the setting sun in the sky set behind the mountain with a strong scarlet color, the three women and children were beheaded. Excited Roman soldiers lined up in front of the quaestor's tent with their heads, ready to receive them.

own reward.

The soldiers who received the money had smiles on their faces and had long forgotten the sin of murder.

Yang Rui looked at this scene with an intriguing smile on his face.

Caesar asked beside him: "It seems you are right, the soldiers' emotions are higher than before."

Yang Rui said: "The Gauls in the fortress have witnessed all this, and they have been intimidated by your reputation. I believe this news will be spread back to Rome soon. You must definitely take the title of bandit."

Caesar smiled and said: "I like this title!"

Yang Rui said: "Then don't insult this title. There are still 50,000 Gaulish men in the fortress waiting for your butcher's knife."

Caesar shouted: "Gather the troops and launch the final attack tonight! After the war is over, all the wealth of Gaul will belong to every Roman soldier!"

On that night, the crazy Roman soldiers captured the last Gaulish fortress and killed all 50,000 Gaulish soldiers overnight. After that, the land was bright red for a long time.

of.

The war was over, and Caesar fulfilled his promise and distributed all the wealth to his soldiers and signed a contract to grant them further land in the future.

As spring blossomed, the Gallic legions of the Roman Republic returned to Rome under the command of Caesar.

The march was full of laughter and laughter, and each Roman soldier's backpack was filled with gold coins. This was the reward given to them by their commander Caesar, which was enough for them to enjoy half their lives.

At this time, the order from the Roman Senate arrived in due time. The herald read out the will of the Roman Republic. Caesar must surrender his military power before crossing the Rubicon River and return to Rome as a civilian.

Yang Rui said: "Ahead is the Rubicon River. At this time, it was the practice of the Roman Republic that any Roman general had to surrender his military power when he set foot on the south bank of the river. Do you think so?"

Caesar shook his head and said, "I don't know!"

Yang Rui said: "The 100,000 Roman soldiers behind you have sworn allegiance to you, so you have nothing to worry about."

Caesar looked at the river with deep eyes and said: "I am questioning my heart now, whether I want to violate the oath I made to safeguard the interests of the Republic."

Yang Rui said: "Those people in Rome have already violated their oath first, what else do you have to worry about?"

At this time, Caesar turned his head and looked at the generals and centurions of the legions, and asked calmly: "Cross this river for me and return to Rome. You have a share of the wealth of the Roman Republic! Are you willing to follow me? ?”

There was silence behind Caesar. Although no one spoke, he had already seen the answer in everyone's eyes.

Caesar waved his whip, urged his horses across the Rubicon, and stepped firmly onto the south bank.

The herald from Rome blocked Caesar's path and asked loudly: "Caesar, are you going to rebel?"

Caesar swung his dagger and chopped off the herald's head, and then shouted: "Follow me into Rome!" To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
