Antony swung the wine glass, clarified his thoughts and said: "I hate the weather in Rome, the sunshine in Memphis always makes me happy, so Egypt is my most ideal place to live. And, Cleopatra

I have been complaining that there is no palace for the two of us to live in, so I thought..."

Octavian interrupted Antony and said: "You can rest assured that after searching the homes of three hundred members, all the property obtained will be transported to Egypt. This is my respect for you and Cleopatra. If it is not enough

, just tell me, I will give you the greatest support."

"Really?" Antony did not expect Octavian to have such an attitude. He did not believe the promises he heard.

Octavian nodded seriously and said: "Of course it is true, are we an alliance?"

"In addition..." Octavian thought for a while and said: "Now that we have obtained the leadership of Rome, I have an idea. I wonder if you are interested?"

Anthony said with great interest: "Say it and I will listen."

Octavian said: "With the center line of the Mediterranean Sea as the boundary, the entire north and south of the republic, including Jerusalem and Damascus, all the southern lands will be under your jurisdiction, while the northern things will be managed by me. Do you think this idea pleases you?

Already."

When Antony heard this, his eyes shone with light. He almost exclaimed: "You gave me all the richest land in Rome. Egypt and North Africa are simply treasury. Are you willing to give it up?"

Octavia took Antony's hand and said, "You deserve this."

Antony laughed heartily, all his requests were met, but in his joy, he did not see that there was a sharp sword hidden deep in Octavian's eyes.

A few days later, Antony went to Egypt with a large amount of wealth. Although he took away half of the Roman legions, the number of troops left for Octavian was still considerable.

At this time, the city of Rome belonged to Octavian alone. He could do whatever he wanted.

First, he reorganized the Senate. Of course, all the new members bowed to him, and his own will could be issued step by step through the Senate to achieve his goals.

In order to consolidate the war-torn northern border, he signed an armistice agreement with the Germans and gave up a large area of ​​northern forest to the Germans. This was not a surrender or a compromise, but Octavian knew that he had more important things to do.

To do.

The war on the northern border subsided, and a large number of legionnaires were transferred to Naples to gather. They were trained more rigorously and were always ready to go to the battlefield again for Octavian's will.

The soldiers' momentum was high, because under Yang Rui's suggestion, Octavian completely solved the worries of these veterans who had been fighting all year round. They all obtained land and property without retiring, and Octavian was like Caesar.

He also promised that in any area captured that was not ruled by the Roman Republic, half of all property would be given to these soldiers and he would get the other half. This promise allowed the young man to quickly gain the support of the Roman army.

While Antony and Cleopatra were living a happy love life, Octavian was running around, quelling the rebellion in the Iberian Peninsula and keeping the peninsula firmly in his hands.

In addition, he also launched a powerful diplomatic offensive against Greece and Parthia, two powerful enemies in the east. Under the dual pressure of money and troops, the Greek Federation and the countries in the Persian region also recognized Octavian's rule over Rome.

At the dinner after signing the agreement, Octavian watched the envoys from various countries chatting happily. He said to Yang Rui: "As you said, I have completed all the tasks you gave me within five years, so the next step is

what?"

Yang Rui said: "Cleopatra has given birth to offspring for Antony. This kind father has unilaterally declared that all the land south of Sicily will be handed over to these children for inheritance. In addition, as far as I know,

Antony has always wanted to attack Parthia, and Cleopatra has prepared an army of 150,000 and enough gold coins for him. What do you think will be the next step?"

Octavian thought for a moment and said: "Before Rome's power has not been completely consolidated, I need to support Antony."

Yang Rui nodded and said: "A very wise idea. In a few days, Antony's envoy will arrive in Rome and ask you to provide enough legions to support his attack on Parthia."

Octavian looked at Yang Rui seriously and asked: "You know nothing, who are you?"

Yang Rui smiled and said, "I'm here to help you."

Octavian said: "I hope so."

Yang Rui said: "A series of victories will make Antony lose himself. Before God wants him to die, he must first make him crazy! And you, Octavian, must stay calm. At this time, the balance of victory has not tilted towards you.

You still have a long way to go."

A year later, Antony, with the help of his lover Cleopatra, successfully defeated the Parthian Empire and captured the beautiful and rich Armenian region.

He held a grand procession in the Egyptian capital and announced that he would distribute the Roman provinces one by one to his children with Cleopatra. But none of this mattered.

The only fact that shocked all the Romans was that Caesar and Cleopatra had a boy named Caesarion. Antony published a message without permission, canonizing this Caesarion as Caesar's only recognition.

The news quickly spread back to the rainy Rome. Octavian felt that his status was under the most serious threat. He came to Yang Rui and asked: "What should I do? That is Caesar's biological flesh and blood."

Yang Rui smiled slightly and said: "That's just a child, and the power of Rome is in your hands. Furthermore, Anthony has gone crazy. He became the king of kings in Egypt. This is a blatant challenge. It's time

Let him be destroyed."

Octavian said: "But Antony occupies the entire Egypt, and has no less than 15 Roman legions in his hands, and has the full support of that bitch. I don't know if I can defeat him."

Yang Rui said: "When Caesar crossed the Rubicon River, he was not sure enough to rule Rome, but he did it! Everything lies in action, go, my child! Victory belongs to you."

Octavian stood in front of the window, overlooking the whole city of Rome, and said quietly: "At this time, I miss the days at home. There are no worries, only happiness."

Yang Rui said: "This is all your own choice. If you choose to be extraordinary, you will have to bear such pressure and even the threat of death."

Octavian nodded and said: "All this is my choice, I will definitely be able to bear it." (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
