Chapter 235 Divination
The passerby asked him if he wanted to make a fortune and live the life of a master.
Of course he agreed without hesitation, and then left with the man.
He didn’t know who he was working for until now. The task he received was to study hard, enrich himself, and approach Caesar at the same time.
Then he made a fortune completely, he got a lot of money, and his business went smoothly.
But he knew that these were all illusions, and these were orders placed by the forces represented by the passerby.
This made him even more in awe of that force. Although I don’t know why they let him approach Caesar, he still performed the task faithfully.
Only by living in poverty will he know how valuable life is now, and he is willing to do whatever it takes to complete this task.
He took out a small note and wrote some words, put it carefully in a money bag, and then left the house.
When I arrived at an inconspicuous grain shop, the owner of that grain shop brightened his eyes after seeing him.
“Hello, esteemed Mr. Attius, you are here again.”
“Yeah, I want to buy a can of wheat. You can find someone to bring this can to my house, so you don’t need to find any money.”
Aetius pointed to a ampoule, and then threw the purse to him.
“Don’t worry, find someone to give it to you right away.”
The boss’ eyes narrowed with a smile, and he put the money bag in his pocket quietly.
It didn’t take long for this note to arrive in Mackian’s hands.
“Caesar wants to join the army, if you want to get close to him, is it best to join the army too?”
Seeing this, Mackian thought.
If you want to get close to Caesar, I am afraid that this position cannot be lowered, otherwise Caesar will look down upon him.
But this is a trivial matter, and it can be solved only by looking for Li Wei.
In Rome, Pompey made sacrifices at the Temple of Jupiter and then performed divination.
Since the Senate assigned four legions to Pompey, Pompey led the army first.
Pompeo, wearing a big red cape, was full of spirits, full of confidence in the future.
Only Li Wei understood how difficult the battle he faced.
The expedition of the Roman army was quite complicated. It not only required sacrifices to the gods, but also fortune-telling.
A fortune teller sprinkled some grains on the ground, and then released a big rooster that had been hungry for several days.
The fortune-telling officer stared at the big **** tightly, his face almost covered with the words “Quickly Eat”.
The big rooster saw the grain in front of him and immediately ate happily.
“Good luck! You can go to the expedition!”
The fortuneteller shouted immediately, and Pompeo and others were relieved.
This is the divination ceremony of the Roman expedition, and only the big rooster eats the food.
In order to ensure good omen, the fortune teller often starves the big **** for a few days.
But even so, sometimes there will be some mistakes.
This fortune-telling officer will follow Pompey on the expedition. In theory, every time the main general goes out, the main general will inquire about the bad luck, but some generals do not believe this, such as Luculus.
“Take care this time, Cedoliu is not a good person to deal with.”
Li Wei said to Pompeo.
“I know, I laughed at you before and said he was a famous general, but now it seems to be extraordinary.”
Pompeo said.
Li Wei secretly compared a middle finger, it seems that he did not laugh at him less.
“You have to be careful too, because the Mediterranean is so big, pirates are not so easy to kill.”
Pompeo said.
“Don’t worry, I have a plan in my heart.”
Li Wei said.
The two gave a light hug, and then Pompeo led the soldiers out of here.
“Patriarch, why didn’t you choose me as the lieutenant? I also want to fight for Rome.”
After Pompeo left, Serabio complained.
The Senate authorized Li Wei to elect 16 lieutenants from among the elders. Li Wei gave part to his old subordinates and part to his allies, but he did not choose Serabio.
For this he felt very wronged, and he Serabio also has the mind to fight for the country and shine.
Li Wei looked at him contemptuously, “Have you ever fought a war?”
“This.. This.. Just follow you. A group of pirates, don’t you can’t beat it.”
Serrabio said.
His words drew a crowd of eyes around him, and it really came with the thoughts of mixed military skills.
Seeing the contempt in the eyes around him, Serabio said with no irritation, “In fact, these days I study military hard, and I am quite knowledgeable about leading soldiers in wars.”
“Then I will test you and guess how long it will take me to level the pirates. If you guess right, I will bring you next time I set out.”
Li Wei said.
“this one……”
Serabio’s eyes rolled, this time he couldn’t, and the next time he mixed military exploits would be okay.
“In two years, I guess you can wipe out pirates in two years.”
Serrabio said.
Regarding how long the pirates should be wiped out, both the Senate and the people have a lot of disputes.
The Mediterranean is really too big, and the pirates are too mobile. They think it takes a very long time to eliminate the pirates, so they gave three years to eliminate the pirates.
Moreover, the position granted to Li Wei’s former consul can have twelve guards.
In addition, he can also appoint his lieutenant as former officials, and those former officials can have 6 guards who are equivalent to official .
“What about you? Guess how long I can kill the pirates.”
Li Wei asked the veterans.
“I guess one year.”
“One and a half years.”
“…”
Although they said that there was less time than Serrabio, Li Wei guessed that this might not be their heartfelt words, and there are more flattering elements.
But it’s a pity that they flattered them all on the horse’s legs.
“I tell you, it will never exceed half a year.”
Li Wei said.
Those veterans couldn’t help but look at each other, this is unlikely.
The Mediterranean is so big, even if 12 legions are scattered in the Mediterranean, it is not enough to see, where the pirates are so easy to wipe out.
“I know you don’t believe me, I think I’m talking big. Now I tell you a word, the truth is always in the hands of a few people.”
Li Wei said.
“Believe, of course I believe.”
“I believe the Patriarch will be able to eliminate the pirates within four months.”
“…”
Seeing them all insincerely, Li Wei smiled, too lazy to care about them.
“Serrabio, I need you to help me stare at those who oppose me in Rome, and don’t let them do anything. Besides, isn’t it an attack on Bisinia?”
Li Wei said.
Bisnia is located near the Bosphorus Strait in Turkey, where the king and Caesar are engaged.
Recently, the king died. After his death, he dedicated Pisinia to Rome, making it a province of Rome. However, the king of Pontus suddenly sent troops to attack Pisinia.
“Yes it is.”
Serrabio said.
“You encourage the Senate to let me eliminate the pirates and regain Bisinia. It is best to give me the right to continue fighting.”
Li Wei said.
“…”
