Roman Slave Owner

Chapter 181: Luculus

"Then I won't be polite."

Li Wei sat down with a smile, and ignored Lepidus on the other side.

As the saying goes, cutting off one's wealth is like killing one's parents. Lepida wants to return the property of those exiled nobles, which is simply cutting off his life.

Moreover, he is a general under Su Na's faction, so how good is his relationship with him.

He didn't want to talk to Lepida, but Lepida took the initiative to join him.

"Li Wei, I heard that Justice Belinus was captured by pirates on your territory."

Lepidus said.

"Yes, there is indeed such a thing. I hope the Senate can authorize me to recruit troops and suppress pirates."

Levi said.

"The commander-in-chief of an army must at least be a judge. How can you do it at your age."

Lepidus said with a smile, but his words were merciless.

"That's right, we have to follow the rules. If there are no rules, then Rome is not messed up."

An official close to Lepidus said.

Hearing this, Li Wei felt a pang in his heart.

Is there something wrong with his youth? So many people are targeting him with his age.

But he said disdainfully: "As far as I know, during the Second Punic War, Scipio Africanus led the army to fight in Spain alone at the age of 25, and defeated Hannibal in the Battle of Zama at the age of 34." .He can, why can't I?"

Hearing this, the field fell silent for a moment.

The reason why Scipio was able to lead the army back then was because his father died in Spain on the one hand, and on the other hand because Hannibal had defeated the Romans so much that they lost all confidence.

No one wanted to go to Spain at all, so Scipio stepped forward and got the job.

As for Scipio's defeat of Hannibal in the Battle of Zama, that was something no one expected.

"You...can you compare with Scipio Africanus?"

An elder couldn't help but said.

That was Scipio who defeated Hannibal, the conqueror of Africa, the Roman god of war, the idol of countless people, they grew up listening to the stories of Scipio Africanus.

"Why can't it be compared? When he was my age, did he have a greater record than me?"

Li Wei rolled his eyes strangely and said.

Everyone couldn't help being speechless for a while, and it was true.

Li Wei is a monster. At the age of 18, he defeated more than 25 legions of enemies. It would be great if it was bigger.

Some people have already moved their minds, and they must suppress Li Wei, otherwise there will be another Marius or Sulla in the future, and there will be a few more Roman massacres, and there are still a few people who can bear it.

Don't think that foreigners are all white lotuses. After Pompey returned from his expedition to the East, he was suppressed very tacitly by the Senate.

"It may be difficult for you to lead the army to encircle the pirates. After all, there are still so many consuls and justices."

Catullus said.

At this time, Lepida's heart moved,

Said: "Actually, it is not impossible to encircle and suppress pirates, just leave it to me."

Li Wei looked at him speechlessly, and if he really handed over the army to you, Rome would be the first to suffer.

At this moment, there was a commotion in the distance.

Li Wei and the others looked into the distance and found that Sura was leading a group of people towards this side.

Sura was wearing a toga, and walked in front of the front, showing no signs of illness.

Catullus and the others quickly stood up, even if Sura was not the dictator for life, they did not dare to underestimate him.

"Haha, Li Wei, you are finally here."

Seeing Li Wei, Sura was very happy and took the initiative to hug him, just like meeting a gangster.

"happy to see you."

Levi said.

He looked at Sura. He hadn't seen her for a while. Sura was obviously much older. She was covered in thick perfume. Some parts of her body had become festered, and she could smell a faint odor.

"Li Wei, long time no see."

Crassus hugged him hard.

Li Wei rolled his eyes strangely, you, a smiling tiger, are also pretending to be enthusiastic here.

"I heard that you have made a lot of money recently, let's chat when you have time."

Li Wei said with a smile.

"Haha, I can't compare with you."

Crassus said with a dry smile, he is indeed rich, but it is really nothing compared to Li Wei.

Li Wei's money-making speed beats him by several blocks, and many industries are basically monopolized, even if he has a silver mine, he is still very envious.

"Hi, my name is Licini Luculus, and I have been known to you for a long time."

At this time, a middle-aged man who was nearly forty years old said.

Li Wei's heart moved, and it turned out that this was the famous general who broke the capital and Armenia.

He was Sulla's treasurer when Sulla went on an expedition to Greece. Later, Sulla sent him to the allies to recruit navies. He single-handedly recruited a large number of navies for Sulla.

When Sulla returned to Rome, he raised supplies for Sulla in Greece. He was the most trusted person of Sulla. After Sulla died, he entrusted all his children to him.

For various reasons, Li Wei never knew him.

"It's really surprising, and I admire you very much."

Levi said.

Lucullus thought he was joking. Although he was somewhat famous, he couldn't compare with Li Wei at all.

"Haha, you guys should communicate more in the future. Don't stand up, everyone, sit here."

Sura laughed and said.

He pulled Li Wei and Lucullus to sit on either side of him, so that Li Wei sat between the consul Catullus and Sulla, which aroused everyone's envy.

At this time, Li Wei found that a young man beside Luculus was glaring at him, and he couldn't help being very curious.

"Who is he?"

"He is my younger brother Marcus, I'm sorry, because of our uncle, he has some misunderstandings about you."

Luculus said.

"Your uncle?"

"Metellus is their uncle."

Sura said.

Li Wei couldn't help but suddenly realized that this was the reason.

However, the marriages of the nobles are really powerful, and it may be a matter of kinship if one of them is pulled out.

"He is still young and a little ignorant. I hope you can understand. I will not interfere in the grievances between you and my uncle."

Luculus said with a smile.

Marcus looked at his elder brother resentfully, I am much older than Li Wei, how can I be younger.

Li Wei almost laughed out loud, but he admired Luculus's shrewdness. This man is gentle and gentle. Maybe there is a chance for cooperation between him and Luculus.

"It's all a little holiday, the past is the past, don't take it to heart."

Sura said.

Both Metellus and Li Wei are generals under him, and he doesn't want the quarrel between the two sides to be too stiff.

Li Wei smiled slightly, he can't decide this matter.

"I remember he is playing against Sertorius in Spain now, how is he playing?"

Levi asked.

After hearing Li Wei's words, the conversation turned cold.

"That Sedorius is not an ordinary person. He is extremely cunning in his use of troops. My uncle is used to using upright and upright troops. He was never caught, and suffered a lot instead."

Luculus said.
