Roman Slave Owner

Chapter 329: General Selection

Crassus' face froze, and he became speechless. With the help of the priest these days, it has almost spread crazy in Rome.

Almost everyone believed in this oracle, because apart from that, they really couldn't explain why Rome was repeatedly defeated by Spartacus.

In fact, not to mention those Roman citizens, even Crassus believed it.

But how could Crassus tolerate giving up this opportunity? Sertorius had been killed by his own generals.

Pompey was victorious in Spain, and he was about to achieve the first triumph in his life.

Needless to say, Li Wei, his existence is a legend, which makes nursing homes extremely headaches. He is also a member of the Big Three of Rome, but he lacks honor and is notorious. Many Romans look down on him. He wholeheartedly wants to use this time. Winning to increase his glory, "Li Wei, you already have enough honors, why don't you give me this opportunity?"

Crassus said pleadingly.

Li Wei sneered, when you cooperated with Metellus to punish me, why didn't you think of today?

"Crassus, this is not a joke. This is a military matter. Enough blood has been shed in Rome. It is time to end this. I am willing to compete fairly with you?"

Li Wei said in a serious tone.

Crassus looked at Li Wei with a black face, you shameless guy.

Do you call this fair competition? No wonder anyone can beat you.

No, he must be prevented from participating in the election.

Crassus' eyes kept turning, and the only thing that could stop him was the Senate, and it seemed that he had to work hard on the Senate.

Li Wei's return shocked the whole of Rome, Crassus jumped up and down, and held a nursing home meeting to strongly condemn Li Wei.

"Dear senators, Li Wei's behavior is very dangerous. He has repeatedly violated the laws of the country and the resolutions of the Senate. If things go on like this, will anyone still take the law and the senators seriously?"

Crassus said sadly.

This time, he didn't ask his subordinates to play, and went directly to Chibo, just to show his attitude.

The elders below were discussing a lot. It stands to reason that what Crassus said is very reasonable, but now is an extraordinary period. The repeated failure of the Roman army has made the Senate lose face.

Even many veterans who opposed Li Wei felt a little shaken in their hearts. Although they didn't like Li Wei, they didn't want to see Rome fail again.

Moreover, there is a strong anti-Senate force in Rome. Under the guidance of those priests, many people believe that Rome's failure is because the Senate has repeatedly rejected Li Wei's request to fight, which makes many senators feel miserable.

"Judge Crassus, I don't agree with your point of view. When Sippy went to Spain, he was not old enough, but the Roman people still gave him the right to go to Spain. I think Rome is now in a tense moment, it is time Breaking the rules again."

Then Cicero said.

Since Serabio went to the province to take office, he took over the banner of Serabio and became the leader of Li Wei's line.

Although some people were not convinced, this did not affect his dedication to serving Li Wei's family.

"No, Spartacus is not Hannibal, and they're trying to cross the Alps, I don't think there's a national emergency right now."

Crassus said firmly.

"Have you forgotten the oracle of the true god? Although Sidhigus is dead, it seems that the anger of the true god has not subsided. I think it is safer to let the prophet fight."

Cicero said with a smile.

Hearing this, Crassus was dumbfounded.

This damned oracle, almost everyone in Rome now believes in this oracle.

The elders nodded again and again, deeply appreciating this.

Although it is important to suppress Li Wei, Rome has failed too many times, and even they can't bear it.

Crassus glanced at Metellus and gave him winks.

Metellus stood up helplessly. He coughed lightly and said, "Actually, I think we should stick to the resolution of the Senate..."

At this moment, a civil tribune entered.

"Everyone, we just received an urgent military message."

"what happened again?"

"Could it be another defeat?"

"..."

All the elders said that Rome has been overwhelmed by all kinds of bad news recently.

"Everyone guessed right, Spartacus defeated the 10,000 troops under the governor of Shannan Gaul."

The civilian tribune said with a sad face.

Hearing this, there was an uproar in the Senate.

"This is impossible! This is absolutely impossible!"

"Why did we lose again?"

"..."

Not to mention them, even Metellus was confused, what happened to Rome?

Failed again and again on a gang of slaves.

"Guys, I think the decision to allow Levi to stand for election should be taken seriously. We in Rome can no longer afford to lose."

Cicero said with a serious face, but he couldn't hide the color in his eyes.

"I agree with Senator Cicero."

"I agree."

"I object."

"..."

Facing the large-scale rebellion of the elders, Crassus looked desperate.

After intense discussions and votes, the Senate finally passed a resolution allowing Li Wei to participate in the general election.

After receiving the news, Li Wei couldn't help shaking his fist.

Another obstacle of self was swept away.

"Dad, are you really going to fight Spartacus?"

Little Li Wei raised his head and asked.

"Yes, quite possibly."

Li Wei said with a smile, "I heard that you and him are good friends."

Little Li Wei nodded, "They all said that Spartacus was a devil, and many Romans died at his hands."

"The devil is not there, it's just that we have a different position from him. What is this called? It seems to be called a class contradiction."

Li Wei thought for a while and said.

"Class conflict?"

Little Li Wei blinked his big eyes, "What does this mean?"

"It's like the conflict between a slave and a slave owner. The slave wants to be free, but the slave owner doesn't want to give him freedom, and wants to squeeze him desperately."

Levi said.

Little Li Wei looked half-understood, perhaps because of Li Wei's influence, he was very kind to slaves.

"Actually, I still admire him very much. He is a real hero."

Li Wei sighed, and at the same time secretly added that the end of a hero always seems to be tragic.

"Yes, father, will you kill him?"

"Will do."

Levi said.

After hearing this sentence, little Li Wei felt a little bad, so he left here.

Li Wei pondered for a while, and called Lucias.

"Go to Spain by sea, and bring me some messages to Pompey."

Levi said.

"What message?"

"Do you want to become a consul in advance? If you want to, I can join forces with him again. I will definitely become a consul in the next year."

Levi said.

Lucias looked at him in surprise, "Is this the will of the true God?"

Li Wei felt a headache for a while. Recently, he pretended to be a bit too much. As a result, many people regarded him as a real prophet.

"You are right. The true God told me that He wanted me to conquer the Germans and an island far away from the mainland."

Levi said.

"This is really great, I hope to embark on a new road of conquest with you."

Little stars appeared in Lucias' eyes immediately.

Li Wei smiled awkwardly, "Okay."

At the foot of the Alps, Spartacus looked bewildered.

They finally hit the foot of the Alps, but Castus and Ganix didn't want to go home.

Although the reasons are various, one thing is very certain, no one wants to cross the Alps.

At this moment, a warm embrace hugged him tightly.

Without looking back, Spartacus knows who is coming?

"Sarah, what do you think I should do?"

Spartacus asked.

"Haven't you already made a decision in your heart?"

A look of sadness appeared on Sarah's face.

This is the fate that Spartacus cannot get rid of. How much she hopes that Spartacus will cross the Alps, but she knows that Spartacus will not do this.

"You're right, they are my brothers, they are my friends, they see me as a leader, and I have to be accountable to them."

Spartacus said.

"You have to be careful, the Romans are likely to let Li Wei lead the army this time."

Sarah said.

"I know."

Spartacus said, there must be a strong fighting spirit in his eyes.

Come on, Levi, I'm not the Spartacus I used to be.

Let me see how strong you, the number one man in Rome, are!

The two snuggled together tightly, enjoying this rare moment.

Not long after, Gannix and a few others came over.

"It seems we interrupted some people's loving time."

Iksian laughed and said.

"I know I'm still here."

Spartacus scolded with a smile.

"We have an idea and would like to hear your opinion."

Curius said.

"you say."

"Did you know there was a slave revolt in Sicily 30 years ago?"

Curius asked.

"I seem to have heard of it."

Spartacus said he remembered who had mentioned it to him.

"In fact, there was a huge slave uprising in Sicily 60 years ago."

Ixion said.

"What do you mean?"

Spartacus asked.

"I mean, every 30 years there's a slave revolt there, and it's about time now."

"It is the granary of Rome, with a large number of slave plantations. As long as we can go to Sicily, we can free the slaves there."

"Sicily is a huge island, and we can completely occupy the island as king on that island."

Curius said.

"Occupy the island as king?"

Spartacus looked shocked.

"That's right, we can unite with the slaves there to resist possible Roman attacks."

Curius said.

Spartacus thought about the feasibility of this plan. Although it was extremely dangerous, it was at least more reliable than occupying Rome. After all, it was something that even Hannibal failed to accomplish.

"Spartacus, I believe you will be able to lead us to do it."

Onomamus said.

Spartacus watched them quietly, and finally his expression became more and more determined.

"Okay, that's it."

"Hahaha, I just said you will agree. Let's go, the Gaul chief here said that he will invite us to drink tonight."

Ganix said with a laugh.

Looking at the high-spirited crowd, Sara didn't have many smiles on her face. Instead, she sighed softly, with a hint of sadness on her face.

On the general selection altar in the Roman Forum, a senator is desperately giving a speech, trying to attract the support of the citizens to become the commander of the Roman army.

"Dear citizens of Rome, as long as you elect me as commander in chief. I promise to cover all military expenses without spending a penny from the national treasury. And I, Crassus, have been in battle for a long time. I was the one who turned the tide outside Rome... "

Crassus pulled the ticket for himself hoarsely.

It is a pity that the Roman citizens were not very interested, because they knew that a man had come to Rome, and there was no better candidate for commander than him.

Crassus was full of anger and unwillingness, why he was willing to pay so much, and the Roman people still didn't buy his account.

At this moment, the crowd in the distance separated, and then Li Wei came over under the guard of many elders.

After seeing Li Wei, the crowd burst into cheers immediately.

"Levy!"

"Li Wei! Participate in the election, I will support you!"

"Only you can save Rome!"

"..."

Just as the crowd cheered, Li Wei stepped onto a general election platform, and then said nothing.

Do you need a speech to canvass for yourself?

unnecessary!

As long as you come, it is enough.

Seeing Li Wei standing on the general selection altar, the crowd immediately burst into cheers like a volcanic eruption.

"Long live Li Wei!"

"Long live Li Wei!"

"Kill Spartacus! Kill those bloody slaves!"

"Crucify them all! Long live Rome!"

"..."

The anger and embarrassment accumulated for a long time finally broke out at this moment. They were great Romans, how could they have been defeated by a group of slaves.

Seeing this, those candidates all lost the desire to give a speech, and even gave a fart if they were like this.

Crassus' face is livid, bastard!

What a greedy bastard!

He will not forgive him!

Seeing Crassus' angry expression, Li Wei smiled disdainfully, and then ignored him.

An hour later, Clodianus said solemnly: "I declare that the winner is Lucius. Posius. Livi. Jerusalemus. Armenianus. Pondunus, the greatest Roman General, conqueror of Jerusalem, Armenia and Pontus. He received 35 votes, and he will command 8 Roman legions to fight Spartacus."

Someone handed the red cloak to Li Wei, and Li Wei put on this long-lost cloak again.

Seeing this, the crowd immediately screamed like mountains and tsunamis, and then made a uniform voice.

"Levy!"

"Levy!"

"Levy!"
