Roman Slave Owner

Lebiris struck while the iron was hot and convened a meeting of the Senate to discuss the matter again.

With the joint efforts of the Big Three in Rome, all the requests made by Li Wei and Pompey were quickly passed.

Because Livi was ordered by the oracle to march into Rome, he was innocent, and finally decided to hold a public assembly after three market days.

Some senators attempted a final filibuster at the Citizens' Assembly, addressing the Civic Square for days on end.

It's a pity that the influence of the miracle is getting bigger and bigger. The word of mouth of the four legions, Dumigios' silence, and many people in the city of Rome also heard a loud noise. More and more people believe that Li Wei is really Believe in oracle before entering Rome.

Kota glanced at the gloomy sky, and then said expressionlessly, It's auspicious.

There was a burst of cheers immediately in the square. A few days ago, nearly 100,000 Roman citizens had gathered in the square. They were all mobilized by Li Wei, Pompey, and Crassus.

After formally forming an alliance, the three of them carried out a general mobilization, mobilizing their own veterans, tenant farmers, and retainers, and even secretly bought some Roman citizens. Everyone did their best.

Immediately after receiving Cotta's order, some heralds went to the walls of Rome and blew their horns.

The melodious sound of horns echoed in the city of Rome, and a number of Roman citizens spontaneously gathered from their homes in the square.

Even if they don't care about politics, they know that what happens today will determine their fate, so they are very positive.

Annius and the other tribunes of the populace watched silently as the Roman citizens entered, and when the numbers were nearly equal, they sealed the entrance.

At this time, the square has become crowded with people, the number of people may be close to 200,000.

The rostrum is in the center of the square, and the citizens' assembly is generally presided over by the consul, and Kota spoke out about the topics of this assembly.

Due to the distance, Annius could not hear clearly.

Outside the city of Rome, Li Wei was a little restless, quietly waiting for the news of the citizen assembly.

At this moment, Lucias walked over with a look of surprise, and shouted loudly from a distance: Master, it's passed! It's passed!!

Passed?

Li Wei couldn't help being overjoyed.

With 28 constituencies in favor and seven constituencies against, our motion passed.

Lucias handed a small note to Li Wei.

It's really nice to inform everyone that I'm going to have a drink to celebrate, and I'm going to treat all the soldiers to eat and drink for three days.

Li Wei didn't know what method to use to express his excitement, so he thought of Sura's very vulgar method.

Yes, General.

The decision of the Citizens' Assembly quickly spread throughout Rome. I don't know how many people breathed a sigh of relief and how many people scolded, but none of this changed the final result.

In the Senate, there was a lot of quarrel over how many legions Li Wei and Pompey were authorized to form.

They are not worried about the expedition to Spain. Land warfare has always been the strong point of the Romans. Even if Sertorius beat Metellus terribly, they believe that they will be able to defeat Sertorius.

The most controversial thing is to encircle and suppress pirates. Pirates are spread all over the Mediterranean, and its size is unimaginable.

Moreover, the pirates are very mobile. When you are encircling and suppressing this area, the pirates can easily move to another area and come back after you finish the encirclement and suppression.

Given that the Mediterranean Sea is too vast, I think at least 12 legions should be dispatched, and Li Wei should be given command of all allied navies. All allied soldiers and civilians within 50 Roman miles from the coast should obey General Li Wei's dispatch. Only in this way can the pirates be wiped out.

As soon as Serabio's words were put forward in the Senate, they caused a thousand waves with one stone.

The strength of 12 legions? This force is too powerful. It is estimated that only the Sula Civil War and the Hannibal War commanded such a huge force.

And all the soldiers and civilians of the allied countries 50 Roman miles from the coast must obey his command,

This power is probably comparable to that of a dictator.

No! I firmly oppose! This power is too great. I don't think Levi should be granted such a powerful power. And we have to give Pompey four legions, which add up to 16 legions, plus Meter Road Rome simply cannot maintain such a large army for a long time.”

Another consul, Octavian, said quickly.

Octavian has been opposing Li Wei's various resolutions these days. When Dumigius was depressed, many veterans who opposed Li Wei united by his side.

Serapio looked at him contemptuously. What's the use of objecting?

You don't count on this matter!

I recommend a vote on the matter.

Crassus said lightly.

It didn't take long for the result to come out, and the Senate passed the resolution with an absolute advantage.

Seeing this, some elders yelled and cursed angrily.

Ah! Ah!

A hot moan came from a room, followed by a high-pitched cry after a long time.

Claudia hugged Li Wei tightly, with a satisfied smile on her face.

Li Wei, you are awesome this time. I didn't expect you to command 12 legions.

This time I was also a little ill-considered. I didn't expect the Senate's rebound to be so big.

Levi said.

He just cooperated with Pompeo based on historical memory, but he almost became a public enemy of the country.

Fortunately, the miracle was shown in time, and Crassus was attracted to stabilize the situation.

Did you really receive the oracle?

Claudia asked curiously.

This matter is definitely a hot topic in Rome recently. For this reason, the city of Rome is full of quarrels from the Senate to the common people. Claudia really wants to hear what Li Wei, the first person in charge, has to say.

Of course.

Levi said.

What does the voice of the true God look like?

Very majestic, like a loving father.

Have you ever seen him?

No……

Seeing Claudia's desire to ask endlessly, Li Wei quickly used the transfer method, You said you have something urgent to do with me, what exactly is it?

How many people can you take with you on this expedition?

Claudia said with some embarrassment, My two brothers want to encircle and suppress the pirates, and it is best to have my brother-in-law Luculus.

Li Wei couldn't help but frowned. Brother Claudius is not a fuel-efficient lamp. If they are not satisfied, they will backfire.

Luculus took the two of them with him during his expedition to the capital, but Publius believed that Luculus did not reuse him, and directly spread rumors against Luculus in the barracks, causing a large number of soldiers to Disobedient to Luculus' command.

You must know that Lucullus is his brother-in-law, but Publius stabbed him without the slightest hesitation, which shows his ruthlessness.

Is there any difficulty?

Claudia asked.
