Roman Slave Owner

But the arrival of winter brought all this to a complete end, and Li Wei knew how cold the winter in the Caucasus was.

Even in later generations, there are still a large number of people who freeze to death, let alone now.

Li Wei is thinking about what to do next year. His command power is only one and a half years old. How should he make good use of this year and a half.

Parthia is so honest, he is also embarrassed to invade directly.

Li Wei finally set his sights on Palestine. During this period of time, the Arabs near Syria were attacking Syria. For this reason, Antioch reported the situation there to him, hoping that he could send troops to suppress the Arabs there.

In the coming year, I just use this excuse to go to Syria, and maybe I can find an excuse to intervene in Palestine.

It's just that the capture of Mithrada can only come to an end temporarily. Thinking of this, he felt a pang of regret.

At this moment, Luculus walked in.

His face was a little disturbed, which made Li Wei very strange.

Is there a problem?

Levi asked.

I have one thing to ask, is our war going to end next year.

Luculus said.

Yes, more or less.

Li Wei thought for a while and said.

Even if it takes less than a year to conquer Palestine and the Arabs, there is a high probability that he will return to Rome next year.

More than a year has passed, and I don't know how Rome has become.

I want to be the consul when I go back next year. I wonder if you can support me.

Luculus said hesitantly.

Livi's support was crucial to him, not only because of his large number of retainers and tenants, but also because, once Livi returned, his popularity would be unmatched in Rome.

At that time, as long as he speaks in support, coupled with his own experience in the war, a consul will probably not be able to escape.

Li Wei was taken aback, he didn't expect Luculus to mention this matter.

He didn't agree right away, but thought about it.

Because he didn't know when Spartacus revolted, history has been changed by him, what if Spartacus revolted when Luculus was the consul.

Although Spartacus defeated the Consul in history, it was not Li Wei who underestimated Spartacus. If Luculus was replaced, he would definitely not be Luculus' opponent.

Lukulus led three Roman legions to defeat the fierce men who defeated the nearly 600,000 troops of Pontus and Armenia, and defeated the Allied Forces of Pontus, Armenia and Parthia in the Armenian royal city.

Spartacus was no match for Crassus, let alone Luculus.

Li Wei has always planned to use Spartacus to become the consul, but he can't be messed up.

You do not want it?

Lucullus said with a bitter face that without Li Wei's support, although he would have hoped to become a consul, the possibility of failure would be extremely high.

Of course I would, but I have two conditions.

Levi said.

What conditions, please tell me.

Luculus said with a boost of energy.

First, I hope you can convert to the holy religion.

Levi said.

this...

Hearing this, Luculus hesitated for a while.

He believed in Jupiter and Mars since he was a child, and he was still a little unwilling to let him believe in the true god.

He has a certain understanding of the teachings of the holy religion, and he knows that if he really converts to the holy religion, he must deny Jupiter and Mars.

Why, don't you want to?

Li Wei said with a half-smile.

I remember when you supported Brother Kota, you didn't seem to have made such a request.

Luculus said bitterly.

It's changed now, and they're them and you're you.

Levi said.

Luculus was silent for a while, and finally made up his mind.

Okay, I promise you.

The desire for the consul in his heart finally defeated the piety of the gods, but he made up his mind that he still believed in Jupiter,

If you don't tell yourself, who knows.

That's great, congratulations on finding the only truth in the world.

Li Wei laughed and said, and patted him on the shoulder affectionately.

He also guessed exactly what was on his mind, but what did it matter.

People in the world are so ignorant, they really think that their own holy religion is for nothing, you are a superficial believer, but your descendants may not be, and then generations will truly convert to the holy religion.

One must take a long-term view when engaging in religion, and must not only focus on immediate gains and losses.

How about I personally baptize you tomorrow.

Li Wei said that it is best to strike while the iron is hot to get this matter done.

All right then.

Luculus said.

The second thing I haven't thought about yet, probably after you were elected as the consul. But don't worry, I won't let you do things that go against your conscience or morality.

Levi said.

Then it's settled.

Luculus couldn't help but said with great joy, this matter is actually quite simple.

Of course.

Levi said.

So the next day Li Wei personally baptized Luculus, attracting a large number of people to watch the ceremony.

At the same time, the news that he supported Lucullus as the consul also spread, making countless people envious.

Over the years, all the people supported by Li Wei became consuls, and none of them ran away, so everyone congratulated Luculus one after another, which made Luculus feel that he had made the right choice.

Just when Li Wei was going to pass this winter smoothly, Lucias came to him quietly.

General, I have something to report to you.

In a canteen of the Roman military camp, Publius Pulker was talking to several officers.

Do you know how much money we robbed? Let me tell you, there are at least 50,000 talents (also translated as Tyron, one talent equals 6,000 dinars). The silver and copper coins in Tigranis' treasury are piled up But a lot of this money was secretly embezzled by Li Wei, and it would be nice if we could get 10,000 talents.

It's unlikely, is there so much money?

A centurion exclaimed.

How much is 50,000 talents? This is simply an astronomical figure.

How is it impossible? How many countries and cities have we robbed? It is normal to have such a small amount of money. My brother-in-law Luculus told me this. He is a lieutenant general and knows a lot of inside information.

Publius said, In addition, many properties and properties have been assigned to his own name, and the value of these properties and properties is at least 30,000 talents.

The faces of those officers were different, some believed it, some did not believe it, anyway, the glorious image of Li Wei in their minds dimmed a lot.

Publius became complacent and told you to cut off our money, which will make you feel better.

Not far from him, several officers were listening to their words with their heads bowed.

If Publius had looked carefully, he would have found that one of them was Levi.
