"Why do you want to arrest me?" Caesar covered the tea cup tightly, staring at Pompeii in front of him with a pair of eagle-like eyes: Read the novel...

"No, no, no, of course not!" Pompey waved his hand and dismissed Caesar's idea. He continued: "The fact that you are still sitting here before things have reached that point means that the Senate is just acting against you.

Objections have been raised, but it has not yet been determined that this is an unforgivable crime."

"Otherwise, I would have lost my head and body." Caesar smiled coldly.

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

After Caesar glanced at Yang Rui, he said to Pompeii: "People will change due to the surrounding environment. You are pampered in Rome and have no idea of ​​the hardships in Gaul. You will not understand my state of mind."

Pompeo said: "But you gave all the wealth that originally belonged to the republic to the soldiers, making them loyal to you alone. Even the officials I sent out were unable to control these people."

"What?" Caesar shouted: "While I was entering the city, you actually went to the military camp to take back my military power?"

Pompey smiled bitterly and said: "But things are not going well. Now the Gallic Legion only listens to your orders. The officials sent by the Senate have been imprisoned by them."

Caesar smiled proudly and said: "The Senate treats a person who punishes the Republic like this. 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 a thought."

Caesar asked: "What do you want to say? Just say it."

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

"Then what's the second way?"

Pompey said: "Lissus, the king of the city-state of Saguenay, has been complaining to me that the Macedonians have recently begun to harass their borders again, and they have forgotten all the lessons learned a few years ago. So I have agreed to Lissus again.

Sus requested that troops be sent to help the city-state of Saguenay fight against the Macedonians."

Pompey paused and then said: "The Macedonians' determination to go north has never slackened for a moment. They dream of stepping into the land of Rome and reliving the glory of Alexander. We cannot let their wishes succeed. Besides, if they are allowed to occupy

The city-state of Saguenay, then they can easily

Their borders push down the region of Ravana, and at that time we must accept the danger of being bordered by a great power that wants to annex us at any time. That would be something Rome is not willing to accept. So the Senate has authorized me to ask you and your troops

, crossed the Adriatic Sea to deal with the Macedonians."

"When will we set off?" Caesar asked, his eyes fixed on Pompeii in front of him, his hands shaking constantly, and the tea cup in his hand seemed about to be thrown into Pompeii's face at any time.

"Right away!" Pompeii's answer was firm and seemed irresistible.

The anger in Caesar's heart was burning, but he still tried his best to control his emotions. If he lost control at this time and acted irrationally, he also knew the consequences clearly. According to Roman law, all local governors

, legion general. From the moment he entered the city of Rome, all his positions and powers were automatically deprived of him.

You can only stay in this city as a Roman citizen. If you have any extreme behavior, you will be suppressed according to the terms of Roman law. No matter how high your official position is, you will be treated equally. Caesar also knows his own strength.

It was not enough to confront the Senate. The most important thing was that the support of Roman citizens was not enough to allow itself to gain the upper hand in the confrontation.

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

Pompey clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Dear Caesar, I know that your conscience is still alive. I think tonight's banquet will be lively and exciting. I can't wait."

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

Caesar snorted and said: "They can't kill me now. If they kill me, then the Senate and Pompeii himself will not be able to face public doubts. Therefore, they can only relieve the pressure by letting me lead the Gallic Legion to continue the campaign."

My threat to the city of Rome."

Anthony asked: "What if you don't agree with the second way?"

Caesar said: "Pompei 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 suddenly said: "Pompei is very smart to do this, and I can tell you that he has other tricks to deal with you."

Caesar asked: "What trick?"

Yang Rui said: "The northern shore of the Mediterranean is Pompeii's sphere of influence. Rome's Southern Army is stronger than your Gallic Army in terms of numbers and equipment. This is a trap. If you go, it is equivalent to joining Pompeii's Army.

At this time, your charges of treason have already been drawn up. After 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: "What should I do?"

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

Caesar asked: "What should I consider?"

Yang Rui said: "The first thing you have to consider now is the attitude of the Romans towards you. You have to make them love you even more and become crazy about you."

Anthony said: "What needs to be done?"

Yang Rui said: "No one in this world 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 any story you want."

Caesar smiled and said: "Since you told me this, I am confident that I can defeat the Southern Army. I only brought two legions into Gaul back then. The Gauls were twenty times as many as me. I was not afraid at all, and

Defeated them. This time, the Southern Army will also be defeated by my men."

Caesar thought for a while and said to Yang Rui: "Since you said you want to bring wealth and happiness to the Romans, starting from tonight's banquet in Pompeii, all the people in Rome will know that I, Caesar, am a kind and generous person who can give

They bring joy and wealth to people!" To be continued.)
