Roman Slave Owner

Chapter 239: Spartacus

Not only did his flattering not arouse the disgust of these citizens, but instead attracted rounds of applause.

Rome has abolished direct taxes for Roman citizens, and the biggest expenditure of many Romans is food expenditure.

Due to the existence of pirates, the grain ships in Egypt and Syria could not reach Rome at all, which caused the price of grain in Rome to remain high.

This has caused great distress to the Roman citizens at the bottom, but the collapse of food prices now makes almost everyone ecstatic, and almost everyone is the beneficiary.

"Some people say that it takes three years to wipe out pirates, and some say that you can’t wipe out pirates in three years. But I’m telling you now that it won’t take even five months. By then, the entire Mediterranean will not even be able to see a pirate. The wise triumphant general Li Wei."

Serrabio said, "Just yesterday, I got the news that Anius, the civilian protector, decided to convene a citizens' assembly to grant General Li Wei greater powers and give him the right to war against the East."

"I hope all citizens can come and support him. The evil has already colluded with Sedorius. He not only attacked our province of Bisignia, but also wanted to attack Rome hand in hand with Sedorius."

"Only by teaching this capital hard, can they know how great our Rome is! Long live Li Wei! Long live Rome!"

"Long live Li Wei!"

"Long live Rome!"

"..."

Serabio arranged for the people among the people and immediately took the lead and shouted. Under their lead, more and more people became fanatical.

Anius looked at all this with a bitter smile on his face. He, a civilian protector, was really unqualified, and he had almost no speech skills. To mobilize the people, he had to ask Serabio and Cicero to help.

It didn't take long before Serabio and Cicero finished their speeches.

"You said we can succeed this time?"

Anius asked.

If Li Wei asked them to mobilize doormen and tenants, Anius believed there was a great possibility of success, but Li Wei did not let them do so.

"Definitely, I have never seen such enthusiastic people. Their resistance is just in vain."

Serabio said very confidently.

After speaking, he looked at the other corner of the square. It was the place where the veteran who opposed Li Wei gave his speech, but it looked deserted and there were not many people. The cheers of the audience knew who they supported.

Everyone is watching this civic assembly nervously, even if some people desperately oppose it, but they still cannot change the result of the vote.

In the dense forests of Silesia, one pirate after another was escorted out by Roman soldiers.

After Li Wei spread the news that three more legions would be sent to Silesia for encirclement and suppression, the will of the pirates to resist immediately collapsed.

He couldn't fight and fight, and he fled to the sea and was besieged everywhere. This day was really impossible, so a large number of pirates surrendered to Li Wei.

In a camp, Luculus was pointing to a map to explain to everyone the next military action.

Li Wei is already flying away. He has now handed over all military command to Luculus. Some pirates are not worth his own hands.

And he believes that Luculus has enough ability to deal with these pirates, in fact, Luculus did not live up to his expectations.

At this moment, Lysias walked in excitedly: "General, good news."

"What good news?"

Li Wei lifted his spirits and asked, could it be that Rome has news? It's almost time to count.

"The Citizens' Assembly passed the resolution unanimously, granting you absolute command, allowing you to command all the troops except Italy and Spain. The power of war in the East is handed over to you, whether it is war or peace."

Lycias said.

Hearing this, the command headquarters was silent for a while, and then bursts of cheers rang out.

"This is great! Congratulations, General."

Bellierus said.

Li Wei also laughed loudly, "I have been toiling all my life. The pirates have not finished fighting yet, so I'm going to attack Pundu."

But his words caused Luculus's face to look contemptuous, and he was always deliberate in order to attack, but he got cheap and sold well.

"Well, Luculus, how many days will the war in Silesia end?"

Li Wei asked.

"It will probably take half a month."

Luculus thought for a while and said.

"End the war here as soon as possible, and then prepare to go to Asia."

Li Wei said.

"Yes, General."

Luculus said.

Levy had left here with Caesar and Lycias, he had to prepare for the next battle.

Punto's strength is still very strong, and he may face the combination of Punto, Armenia and Parthia, so the stronger his forces, the better.

He decided to write to the King of Numidia, hoping that he could send 5,000 Numidia cavalry to support him.

In addition, some troops should be conscripted against other allies, such as the Thracians, the Macaroons and the Cretans.

Later, in a forest near Bulgaria, this was a small tribe of the Thrace Maidoi tribe. The arrival of several Roman soldiers broke the calm here. U U Reading www.uukanshu.com

When Spartacus returned to the tribe with his wife Sarah, he heard the news and hurried to the house.

When they got home, they heard a wave of Greek speakers coming from it.

Many Thracians have served in the Macedonian army and are therefore proficient in Greek.

Pushing open the door, he found a tall, smiling old man talking to a Roman officer.

The old man wears a hat and has a faint tattoo on his body, which proves that he is an aristocrat among the Thracians.

Thracians can only wear hats if they are nobles. As for tattooing on the body, that is the power of warriors. Spartacus also has tattoos on his body.

Thracians are brave and belligerent, and their warriors have a very high status in the tribe, which is very similar to the Spartans.

"Father, who are they?"

Spartacus asked.

The old man was his father Faye. In his impression, his father was always majestic, not many like today.

"Spartacus, let me introduce it to you. This is Centurion Aetius under Acting Archon Li Wei. He was ordered by General Li Wei to recruit the Thracians to fight for Rome. "

Faye said.

Spartacus asked curiously: "Why are we fighting for Rome?"

"Because you are allies of Rome, according to the covenant, when Rome needs you, you must recruit soldiers to fight for Rome."

Aetius said.

He looked at Spartacus and found that he had long black hair and was a very tall and strong man in his twenties.

The woman next to him has milk-like skin, looks very beautiful, and has a noble and quiet temperament, even if he is used to seeing beautiful women, he is very tempted.
