Roman Slave Owner

"Bring it here for me to have a look first, and if it's almost the same, I can agree."

Li Wei smiled and said, "Of course he must make enough contributions. I hope you Pharisees can form an army and make due contributions in attacking Jerusalem."

"This...we don't have many people, but we can provide food."

John rolled his eyes and a humble smile appeared on his face.

Jerusalem was a fortified city, and he didn't want the precious Pharisees to die in a brutal siege.

"There are always grown men. Provide me with 20,000 grown men."

Li Wei said with a cold face.

"This... This is really too much, we can't provide so many people."

John said that if the damage to 20,000 adult men is too great, it will definitely shake the foundation of the Pharisees.

"I'll give you 10 days. You don't have to carry weapons and armor, or you don't need to prepare food, but as long as you have one less person, I will catch a Pharisee as a slave. Don't play any tricks on me."

Li Wei said with a sneer.

Let you pretend to be arrogant, let you look down on heretics.

What a bunch of religiously washed-out guys who don't know anything about real power.

Listening to Li Ge's callous words, John was terrified.

He didn't expect Li Wei to treat the Pharisees like this, so he doubted whether it was a good thing to cooperate with Li Wei.

"General, can you be more flexible and allow a little more time."

John said.

"Get out!"

A murderous intent flashed in Li Wei's eyes, a group of shameless guys insisted on making him talk to them with a knife.

John was terrified by the killing intent.

how could this be?

Where did he offend Li Wei?

He has always respected Li Wei, a heretic.

"Hurry up and get out, and if you dare to bother the general, be careful not to blame us for being rude."

Seeing that Li Wei was angry, some personal guards hurried forward and said.

Then he drove John away from here, and seeing John's distraught appearance, Li Wei didn't feel sympathetic at all.

When the Jews entered Canaan, they carried out massacres and slaughtered many cities.

Moreover, they carried out massacres in the name of God. In their eyes, such massacres are extremely just, which is the thinking of many believers.

Whatever you do is right in the name of God.

Moreover, they are extremely xenophobic and pagan-hating. It's just that two thousand years of displacement and the control of the world's media have made these covered up.

At least at this time, it is difficult to reason with them.

After returning to Damascus, Aristobulus sent messengers to plead again.

But Li Wei was determined, so why would he listen to his explanation.

Just let Aristobulus hand over the throne and beg surrender before binding his hands.

Of course Aristoblus was unwilling, just like history, at the instigation of some religious fanatics,

Raised the banner of provoking Rome.

In their eyes, as long as God is on the side of God's chosen people, how can those heretics be their opponents.

In history, the Jews did this more than once or twice. They provoked powerful countries under the brainwashing of religion.

The Roman Empire made them perform military service, but they refused, saying that the canon did not allow it.

Some coins in Rome are also prohibited from circulation because they have the head of the Roman emperor on them.

The Roman Empire asked them to erect a statue for the emperor, but they still refused, saying that the canon did not allow the worship of other gods (some Roman emperors would be enshrined after death).

It was such a stubborn provocation that angered the Roman Empire, causing the Jews to be wiped out by the Roman Empire, and finally displaced for thousands of years.

Li Wei didn't care about Aristoblus' actions at all.

No matter how he chooses, the fate of Jerusalem has already been decided by Li Wei.

After ten days of recuperation, the army set off for Palestine.

Sure enough, John assembled 20,000 adult Jewish men. Although the armor and weapons were not complete, Li Wei did not lack these.

The number of Arabs they killed is unknown, and a large number of weapons have already been seized.

He gave them some scimitars, but none of the armor, and then led them all the way to attack the city and pull out the strongholds, and marched towards Jerusalem.

None of the towns along the way was an opponent of the Roman army, and soon he came to the city of Jerusalem.

Seeing Jerusalem full of vicissitudes, Li Wei expressed emotion, what a famous historical city!

In later generations, this city often affects the hearts of the whole world. As a holy place of the Three Religions, many people pay attention to its every move.

But now it is only a holy place for Judaism, and the Jews at this time are far from being as prominent as they are in later generations.

They are like a group of natives in the countryside, with very few records left in history. They are weak countries that can be bullied at will, regardless of Egypt or Syria.

At this time, Jerusalem had a population of tens of thousands, straddled two mountains, and had at least two walls. Among them, the temple was built on the top of the mountain, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack. It would definitely cost a lot to capture it.

But Li Wei is not worried. In front of the counterweight trebuchet, these city walls are just paper tigers.

After a long period of preparation, the Roman craftsmen set up their trebuchets and prepared to attack Jerusalem.

Some Pharisees prayed, and according to religious regulations, they would come to Jerusalem once a year to offer sacrifices.

In the past, the Jews were divided into two countries, Israel in the north and the Jewish state in the south.

Although Israel is powerful, the Jewish state firmly occupies the righteousness of Judaism by occupying Jerusalem, just like later Saudi Arabia occupied Mecca.

This rule was abolished after Jerusalem was destroyed by the Roman Empire and Jews were banned from entering Jerusalem.

"Lucias, call John here."

Levi said.

"As ordered."

Soon John with a gloomy face was brought over.

He didn't have any good feelings for Li Wei, he didn't understand how the Jews offended him, and he hated the Jews so much.

"After the city is broken, you will lead the Jews to attack the city. If anyone dares to shrink back, he will be punished by military law."

Levi said.

"Yes, General."

John said bitterly.

Along the way, the Jews were the first cannon fodder to attack the city.

Some people were lazy, some resisted, and some shrank back, but they were all severely suppressed by Li Wei.

John also begged hard, but Li Wei kicked him out directly.

This made him hate Li Wei so much that he cursed this damned heretic so many times that he would go to Hell as soon as possible.

Li Wei sneered, knowing what he was thinking without thinking about it.

Go to Hell?

I don't know if I will go to Hell, but I know that you will definitely not end well.

After taking Jerusalem, Pompey killed 12,000 people.

After all, I am a kind-hearted person, and I can't slaughter like him, but I have to punish them appropriately.
