planet reborn
Chapter 146
After the messenger left, Antony asked Octavian angrily: "Why did you agree to these conditions? What do those old guys who only prostitute boys deserve to be pitied for?"
Octavian glanced at Yang Rui next to him. Yang Rui understood and asked Anthony: "What is our purpose?"
Antony thought for a while and said: "Capture the city of Rome."
Yang Rui said: "In this case, as long as we agree to their conditions, the city of Rome will be ours, and our losses can be minimized. Why don't we agree to such a thing."
Anthony argued: "But those murderers will be pardoned. Don't forget that we are here for revenge."
Yang Rui said with a smile: "Rome will be ours from the moment we enter the city. At that time, the fate of those congressmen will be in our hands. Whether they live or die is up to us."
Antony looked at Octavian doubtfully, and Octavian nodded and said, "Rui said everything I wanted to say."
Antony suddenly understood and smiled and said: "You really have Caesar's cunning."
Octavian said: "Because we are all descendants of the Julius family."
The next day, 200,000 troops entered the city of Rome. For the first time, Roman citizens saw the legions fighting for themselves walking past their eyes.
Octavian and Antony rode on tall horses and looked down at the Roman citizens on both sides of the road. Antony's face was full of pride, but Octavian looked worried.
Yang Rui came to Octavian and said: "I have prepared this for you."
After speaking, he put a parchment into Octavian's hand. Octavian unfolded it and saw that dozens of crimes against the Senate were listed on it, each of which was enough to put these people to death.
Octavian asked Yang Rui: "Is this okay?"
Yang Rui said: "Your two hundred thousand troops are enough to make all Roman citizens accept this."
Octavian nodded, handed the parchment back to Yang Rui and said: "Then do it."
Yang Rui said: "Why didn't you hesitate this time?"
Octavian said: "I have entered Rome. If I want to be as kind to them as Caesar, I will be the next to die in the Senate."
Yang Rui smiled and said, "You have finally grown up."
Octavian shook his head and said: "No, I have grown up long ago. As you said, I firmly believe that God chose me."
In the square of the Senate, the congressmen once again welcomed the new warlord of the Julius family. The crowd led by Bruce stood on the steps where Caesar was murdered, looking at the red eagle flags in their eyes, and they couldn't help but feel uneasy.
Unexpectedly, Caesar's death did not bring about the results they wanted, but instead forced Caesar's two descendants to rebel, and they had already arrived in front of them.
Although the message brought by the messenger was that Octavian and Antony had agreed to the terms of the peace talks, the old men behind him were unable to resist in the face of an army of 200,000.
Bruce welcomed Octavian and Antony, and when he was about to introduce the senators to the two young men, Antony suddenly ordered the guards behind him to surround these people.
Then Yang Rui took out the parchment, loudly read out the charges of the Senate, and announced that from today on, the murderer will be severely punished and the Senate will be dissolved!
Bruce and about three hundred senators were all tied up by Roman soldiers. He shouted loudly: "Octavian, Antony! You are really not as kind as Caesar. You can't treat us like this!"
Octavian said coldly: "It was because of Caesar's kindness that he lost his life, and he died at the hands of his closest companions! You all have to pay the price for this!"
Bruce shouted: "You once agreed to our conditions, you can't break your promise!"
Octavian said: "Trust is useless when dealing with enemies!"
Later, the whole city of Rome knew the truth. Caesar did not betray the country, but the senators collaborated to murder the Roman hero.
The anger of the whole Rome was ignited, and the citizens gathered in the square to demand the execution of the murderer and the dissolution of the damn Senate. This was exactly what Octavian and Antony wanted.
That night, several of Caesar's direct killers, headed by Bruce, were brought to the square, where a blazing fire had been lit. The red firelight illuminated countless angry faces.
Bruce kept shouting: "Octavian Antony, you are all shameless villains and complete liars."
However, he had lost the right to speak. He was pushed to the front of the fire by the executioner and knelt on the ground. Then he was pierced through the chest with a sharp dagger. The bright red blood flowed all over the ground. The body was thrown into the fire and burned until
It turned into a wisp of black smoke.
In the next month, the city of Rome held many grand rodeos. Hundreds of captured senators were pushed into the arena and allowed to be killed, quartered, and even eaten by wild beasts and gladiators.
Their flesh, blood and internal organs became the catalyst that ignited the passion of Rome. In the cheers that got louder and louder, they fell one by one and died in front of the Roman citizens.
In the main stand, Octavian watched the massacre quietly. Afterwards, he poured a glass of wine and handed it to Yang Rui behind him and said: "This is my tribute to you. You once helped Caesar, and now you help me, so
I must express my gratitude to you."
Yang Rui took the wine glass and said slowly: "Do you have any plans for the next step?"
Octavian was startled and asked: "What do you mean by this?"
Yang Rui pointed at Anthony who was addicted to killing and said: "Now Rome belongs to you two, but a country has a leader. Who do you want to be the leader?"
This question made Octavian silent. He thought for a long time before asking: "You mean there will still be problems between Antony and I."
Yang Rui smiled and said: "It's not just a problem, it's a huge problem. You will eventually start another civil war because of the final control of Rome!"
Octavian asked in surprise: "Really?"
Yang Rui asked back: "Are you willing to hand over everything you got now?"
Octavian shook his head and said, "Of course not."
Yang Rui said: "So you have to make plans early."
Octavian asked: "How to plan?"
Yang Rui said: "Anthony is now trapped by that Egyptian woman, and he will definitely return to Egypt immediately. You can agree to all his conditions, and even bring all the wealth of Rome to Memphis to support Anthony's luxurious life. As long as Rome
The city is still in your hands, then you will be the winner in the future!"
As soon as Yang Rui finished speaking, Antony turned to Octavian and said, "I want to go back to Egypt in a few days."
Octavian glanced at Yang Rui and said, "What will happen to Rome if you leave?"
Anthony laughed and said, "With you here, I have nothing to worry about."
Octavian asked: "Do you really believe me?"
Anthony nodded and said: "Of course! After all, we are an alliance."
Octavian thought for a while and said: "Then tell me your plan!" (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
