Roman Slave Owner

"The lion and the rabbit also need to go all out. If they really fight, they have to go all out. I don't agree with your point of view."

Sura said with a straight face.

What Sura said seemed to make sense, and since all his legions had left, who would defend Dragon City?

And I originally planned to paddle happily, but how did it become a task of tackling tough problems.

Thinking of this, Li Wei no longer persisted.

After returning, Li Wei began to prepare for military expansion and war.

He recruited all kinds of craftsmen aggressively and asked them to make more arrows, javelins and weapons and armor.

In addition, ballistas must be manufactured, which require a lot of materials.

Each legion must be equipped with at least 55 catapults, 165 for three corps, plus the livestock that pull the catapults, this is a huge expenditure.

Thinking of the money, Li Wei had the urge to vomit blood.

Finally, he decided to find someone to share, so he approached the knights and nobles of Capua, and raised a sum of money from them.

In fact, it was not only Li Wei who did this, Su La was more comfortable doing it.

He sent people to forcefully collect donations from all over Italy, using threats and lures to the extreme.

In addition, Sulla also dispatched several armies to attack those areas that supported Rome, and a large number of houses were damaged and property was confiscated.

Sulla's subordinates were very ruthless. When they went to Greece, their relatives and friends were killed by Marius and Cinna. After returning to Italy, they were very ruthless. All the properties of the nobles who supported Mario and Cina They stole it all.

Rome also unceremoniously attacked those areas that supported Sulla, and the two sides came and went, and Italy was full of wars for a while.

In a spacious and bright room made entirely of marble, Li Wei and his men were holding a military meeting.

"We and Sulla's Fifth Army attacked three small cities, more than a dozen towns and many villages, all of which were Roman supporters. We received a total of 800,000 dinars and more than 1.67 million sesterces And a large amount of supplies. In addition, many local craftsmen were robbed, a total of more than 2,000 people."

Geta, head of the Capua First Legion, said.

On Sulla's orders, he and Sulla's Fifth Legion raided areas that supported Rome.

Although a lot of things were snatched, it was a pity that many things were taken away by Sura.

"What about our losses?"

Levi asked.

"87 people were killed and more than 300 people were injured. They were mainly injured when fighting the Lucanians. Their resistance was very fierce, and they had already organized an army. We had to retreat. As for the resistance in other places Not big."

Gaita said.

Lucanian? Li Wei frowned.

Lucania is located in the southern part of the Apennine Peninsula, also south of Capua. The Lucanians and the Samnians had a tendency to split for a long time. When Marius and Cinna attacked Rome, they asked for autonomy. In order to win, Marius and Cinna agreed to their conditions, so they Is now a staunch supporter of Rome.

"I know, the First Army will be stationed in Capua in the future. I have already started the recruitment of the Fourth Army, and you will be in charge of this work. In addition, I will find some recruits to make up for the losses of the First Army. Those craftsmen also Set it up and let them go into weapon production as soon as possible."

Levi said.

Many of the Capua garrison surrendered. These people were persuaded by Li Wei, and many of them decided to become Li Wei's men.

Li Wei planned to form the Fourth Army with the deputy officers of the Second Army and these surrendered soldiers as the skeleton, and with some new recruits, the Fourth Army almost came out.

Only in this way, his financial pressure will be even greater.

Thinking of this,

Li Wei felt a heartache.

"OK."

Geta said happily, it seems that Li Wei still trusts him very much, and even let him intervene in the recruitment of the Fourth Army.

"In a few days, I will lead the Second Army and the Third Army to attack Scipio with General Sulla."

Levi said.

Hearing this, everyone looked serious, and the war would break out again.

"Patriarch, why don't you bring the First Legion with you, Scipio is hard to deal with."

Geta said worriedly.

Li Wei's face was pained. If it wasn't for Su La's insistence, he wouldn't want to lead a legion. Only he knew how cowardly Scipio was.

"No. Valens, you organize a caravan to go to Greece, Macedonia, Asia, and Silesia, and sell our products there. As for the ships, I will use Sulla's transport ships. I have already agreed with him. Now we are under a lot of financial pressure, this matter depends on you."

Levi said.

It used to be Su La's territory. Due to the hostile relationship, the market there has not been fully developed. In addition, all kinds of funds are urgently needed now, so it is time to open up the market.

"I see."

Valens said.

After a few more instructions, the meeting was finally adjourned.

Li Wei couldn't help but rubbed his face, then stretched his waist, he was really busy recently.

At this moment, he heard movement at the door, opened his eyes, and found that Sibel was looking inside.

After discovering that Li Wei had found him, Sibel grinned and walked in holding a tray.

The two indescribable things on the chest kept trembling while walking, and they became bigger and bigger, which attracted Li Wei's attention. I have to say that Sibel's capital is the most sufficient.

"I heard that the meeting ended. I knew you were tired, so I brought you some things to help you relieve your fatigue."

Hibel put a jug of wine on the table, then took out a glass, and poured a glass for Li Weiman.

Li Wei drank the wine. Since there were too few drinks now, he gradually got into the habit of drinking wine.

Sibel put his hands on his neck and massaged him.

The corner of Li Wei's mouth raised slightly, he knew that Xibel's purpose was not pure.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for Hibel's hands to become erratic, and then kept going down.

There was a groan in Li Wei's throat, this little goblin is really killing people.

"Go and close the door."

"Understood, master."

Sibel licked her red lips, and said in an incomparably charming way.

"..."

A huge army was winding forward. After making the necessary preparations, Sulla led 11 legions and more than 6,000 cavalry to attack Scipio's barracks outside the city of Tilon.

The entire army stretched for more than ten kilometers, making it appear extremely large.

Li Wei rode a war horse and walked in front of his personal guards.

He is very uncomfortable with this, how can the commander-in-chief of the first army be at the forefront? But the Roman army regulations are like this, but fortunately there are other Roman legions in front of him, so there is no need to worry about enemy attacks.

After walking for a day, it was finally time to camp and eat.

At this moment, a cavalry rushed over.

"General Li Wei, Su La invites you to discuss military affairs."
