Roman Slave Owner

As a result, a year has passed, but the microscope that he said is good for half a year has been progressing slowly.

It's such a pity, I still have a lot of philosophical questions I want to talk to you about.

Li Wei said with regret, and threw out another bait calmly.

Philo hesitated again, this guy Li Wei has a high level of philosophy.

Although he often hides it, he can always say something amazing when he is in a hurry.

The reason why he is willing to stay in Capua for so long is to have a philosophical exchange with him.

But Levi is going to Africa again, forget it... it's time to leave.

No, they have already prepared a boat for me, and I will leave tomorrow, but I welcome you to Greece for philosophical exchanges at any time.

Philo said.

Li Wei tried to persuade him to stay, but Philo still firmly refused. Seeing this, Li Wei knew that there was no way to go, so he had to agree to let him leave, which was a pity for a strong free labor.

After Philo left, Morris found here immediately and told him about it.

Woofer? Li Wei never expected such a thing to happen.

The banner of the pro-guards, the heroes of the six legions of Capua handpicked by Li Wei turned out to be spies, this is really a slap in the face.

Li Wei felt a fever on his face, it seemed that he had no aura of domineering, the tiger's body shook, and everyone surrendered.

He must be a spy, do you want to arrest him? Morris said.

Don't disturb him yet. He just made such a great contribution. If he is arrested now, it will have too much impact. Li Wei thought for a while and said, We will go to Africa tomorrow, and I will arrange some dangerous tasks for him , Find a way to make him disappear on the battlefield.

OK.

Morris said.

After Morrie left, Li Wei fell into deep thought.

Woofer? Why are you doing this?

Utica, once the second largest city in Carthage, is now in Tunisia.

Before 2000, it was still a seaport city. After 2000, due to the low tide of the sea, it has become land.

The sea breeze is blowing, the sails are dotted, and the citizens of Utica Port are busy. At this moment, a fleet of ships appeared on the distant skyline, and then the fleet became bigger and bigger. A fleet of more than 500 warships and transport ships.

Seeing this, Utica was in a panic, and there were scattered and fleeing figures everywhere.

In the entire Mediterranean, there is only one country that can have such a powerful fleet, and that is Rome.

Their purpose is self-evident, of course, is to conquer the rebels in Utica.

The brutality of the Romans still remains in their memory. The city of Carthage was demolished by them, and as many as 50,000 Carthaginians were sold as slaves. Salt is still barren.

Looking at the port in the distance, Li Wei looked serious. This time they split into two groups and landed in Utica all the way.

All the way to land in Carthage 40 kilometers away.

As long as they land successfully all the way, they will gain a firm foothold in Africa.

To his surprise, the city of Utica didn't seem to respond.

More than a dozen warships quickly docked at the port, and a large number of soldiers landed in the port continuously, forming an ancient Roman infantry phalanx.

At this moment, a military tribune slowly walked towards this side. He raised his hands high, indicating that he had no weapons. After communicating with the soldiers, he was taken to Li Wei's ship.

What did you say? Are you going to surrender?

After hearing his words, Li Wei couldn't believe his ears.

No wonder Pompey leveled Africa so easily. Is this simply a dungeon of easy difficulty?

Yes, Lieutenant General Manlius has always had Rome in his heart, and he did so only as a last resort. I hope you will accept our surrender, General.

said the military tribune.

How many of you are there?

Levi asked.

More than 5,000 people.

said the military tribune.

Okay, I accept your surrender.

Levi said.

Of course you have to accept it, is it a fool not to accept it?

Your crimes will be decided by the Senate. I believe you understand that I have no such right.

Li Wei said with a serious face.

The military tribune nodded, and he understood that.

Not long after, Manlius came to surrender with his military tribunes, and Li Wei was relieved.

That's the way things are.

Manlius told Levi all about Africa.

At present, Dumigios has basically completed his battle preparations, and he has less than 5 legions of Roman soldiers.

These Roman soldiers came from mainland Italy, as well as Carthaginians from the province.

But after Manlius surrendered, Dumigios had less than four legions left.

The only thing that makes Li Wei afraid is that King Iabbas of Numidia is an ally of Dumigios.

Moreover, the king of Numidia is enlisting troops on a large scale and is preparing to help Dumidius. He can see that the battle will be resolved quickly, and the two sides must not be allowed to meet.

I don't know how many troops you brought?

asked Manlius.

The six legions are just the vanguard, and Pompey will lead four more legions to arrive later.

Li Wei said with a smile.

The other officers looked at Li Wei in surprise, why did he lie?

Really? That's really nice,

Manlius looked rejoicing, fortunately he surrendered, otherwise the situation would only get worse.

Don't worry, I will write a letter to say a few words for you in front of Su La.

Levi said.

Manlius thanked him immediately, and Li Wei accepted it all with a smile.

After Manlius left, Geta asked suspiciously: Patriarch, why did you lie to him?

I'm not only going to lie to him, I'm going to lie to everyone.

Li Wei said, Go ahead and send people to spread the news tomorrow, saying that Li Wei and Pompey will lead a total of ten legions to Africa. Since we landed in Africa, whoever dares to help Dumigius is the public enemy of Rome. .Whoever kills him shall take half of his fortune.

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but suddenly realized.

This is a cruel move, I am afraid that some people will not be able to sleep, and even if they want to help Dumigios, they have to think twice.

Livi sent Manlius and his officers to a transport ship bound for Rome, and at the same time told Rome the news.

Then Manlius's legion was reorganized, and some centurions were dispatched to that legion. He didn't want this legion to turn against him at a critical moment.

The defection of Manlius surprised many, who did not expect that one of Domigios' legions had surrendered before the battle began.

At the same time, the news that Li Wei had people disseminate was also spread. The number of 10 Roman legions was daunting, and almost no one was optimistic about Dumigius.
