Roman Slave Owner

The two sides discussed some details before Ovidis left here

Li Wei summoned the generals to announce the news. Although many people thought Li Wei was too kind, they didn't say anything.

After all, Li Wei is the commander of the first army and has the right to make any decisions on the battlefield.

But when Li Wei announced another news, almost all the lieutenants were extremely shocked.

How can this be?

***

***

The next day, the weather was gloomy and the wind was howling.

In the city of Regium, a large number of female slaves gathered at the gate of the city, preparing to leave the city.

Curius looked at Spartacus with a complex expression. He once regarded him as a friend, an idol, and the person he admired the most, but now he wants to surrender to the enemy.

"Are you really going to do this?"

Curius said.

"Yes, Sarah has my child. I don't want him to die. I'm willing to exchange my life for his."

Spartacus said flatly.

Curius really had nothing to say, and he gave Spartacus a hug.

"Take care of yourself."

"You are also careful."

Spartacus said.

"Don't worry, I will bite off a few pieces of meat from the Romans even if I die."

Curius said.

Ixion glanced at him indifferently, with a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes, and then hugged and bid farewell to Spartacus.

The city gate was wide open, and a large number of female slaves and children walked out of the city gate.

They looked sad and worried about their own future.

Whether Li Wei will treat them kindly is what they are most concerned about.

A door was also opened on the earthen wall not far from the city gate, and a large number of Roman soldiers in full armor lined up to welcome the female slaves into the camp.

Geta said: "You are too kind to them, and the Senate will be dissatisfied with you."

"It doesn't matter, when was the Senate satisfied with me?"

Li Wei said with a smile.

Geta thinks about it too, if it wasn't for Li Wei's other means, the Senate would like to beat Li Wei to the ground completely.

After the female slaves entered the camp, they walked forward under the leadership of the soldiers. Li Wei planned to move them to Turi City first, and then find a way to resettle them.

The generals stood beside Li Wei, quietly waiting for the arrival of Spartacus.

Not long after, Spartacus walked over holding Sarah's hand.

Sarah was wearing a thick woolen shawl, her eyes were red and swollen, and she looked extremely depressed.

"Haha, this is Spartacus, doesn't it look good to me?"

Geta laughed.

"It's not that we beat him to the ground."

Annius had a sneer on his face.

They were all very happy to see Spartacus, who had made Rome miserable, surrender to them.

Spartacus glanced at them lightly and said nothing.

Just looking at the generals and soldiers waiting in battle,

There was something strange in his heart, for some reason he could smell the coming of a war from them.

"Spartacus, long time no see."

Li Wei said with a smile.

"I admit defeat. I hope you can keep your promise and treat Sarah and her child well. She is pregnant."

Spartacus raised his hands and said.

Li Wei couldn't help but suddenly realized that it was so, no wonder Spartacus would surrender.

Soon some soldiers stepped forward and grabbed Spartacus. They were worried about letting such a dangerous person get close to Levi.

Spartacus did not resist, allowing them to tie himself up, and tears flowed out of Sarah's eyes uncontrollably.

"You must live well."

Spartacus urged, Sarah nodded with tears in her eyes.

"Master, I don't know what you plan to do with Spartacus?"

Sarah asked.

"Send him back to Rome, and let the Senate handle it."

Levi said.

Li Wei was not interested in crucifying Spartacus at all, unless he was extremely angry, he would not do such a thing.

"Can I stay with him during this time?"

Sarah asked.

"You don't have to go too far. The general is kind enough not to crucify you, but you still want to be with him."

Gaita yelled angrily.

Sarah didn't speak, but looked at Li Wei pleadingly.

Li Wei thought for a while, and finally nodded.

"Okay, but you can't have any contact, and you can't bring him food. I want to bring him back to Rome alive."

"Thank you, master."

Sarah wiped her tears gently, she knew what was going to happen to Spartacus.

After speaking, Sarah was about to pull Spartacus away, and Li Wei suddenly said: "Spartacus, don't you want to see how Regium was breached?"

"Are you going to attack the city today?"

Spartacus asked.

"Not today, but immediately, as soon as they all come out, I will launch an attack."

Li Wei said with a smile.

Spartacus suddenly thought, did he plan to use these female slaves to launch a surprise attack on the city gate?

Now he was no more than 200 meters away from Regium, so he might be able to remind them if he shouted loudly.

"You'd better not do something stupid, or my promise may be voided."

Li Wei said, "But don't worry, I won't take advantage of these women."

Spartacus thought for a while, and finally closed his mouth.

The people who know you best are often your enemies.

According to what he knew about Li Wei, he really didn't bother to use these women to attack.

It didn't take long for those female slaves and children to come to the barracks.

Looking at the other party's barracks, Curius had a gloomy expression on his face.

"Close the city gate."

Curius said.

"Wait a minute."

At this moment Ixion stopped him suddenly.

"If you have anything to say, just close the door, and the Romans may rush in at any time."

Curius said with a grim expression.

Since Spartacus retired, Ixion has been fighting for power with him, and the relationship between the two is extremely bad.

"Don't turn it off!"

Ixion said with a sneer.

Curius looked puzzled, but soon he became shocked.

"Pfft!"

"Pfft!"

Just hearing the sound of two sharp blades piercing into the flesh, two soldiers behind him suddenly pierced his chest with their swords.

Then he kept waving the short sword in his hand, piercing one hole after another in Curius' body.

In the blink of an eye, blood flowed horizontally, and Curius fell down with an expression of disbelief.

"Do it!"

Ixion shouted violently.

Hundreds of soldiers scattered around him pulled out their daggers and attacked the surrounding high-level rebel army.

This stunned everyone, how could this be?

A soldier rushed out of the city gate quickly, waving the military flag in his hand non-stop.

"General, our people have signaled that the city gates are wide open!"

A soldier ran over and said.

"Send the order, the whole army will attack. Remember to leave some alive, I need to escort them to Rome."

Li Wei laughed and said.

"Yes, General."

After receiving Li Wei's order, the Roman soldiers who had been waiting for a long time immediately turned into a torrent and rushed towards the city gate not far away.

"How is this possible? Could it be..."

Spartacus said.

"You guessed right. An old friend of yours has rebelled. When I issued the surrender order, he sent someone to contact me, hoping to lead his troops to surrender, but I rejected him. I let him continue to serve as an undercover agent in your army. .Just let him lead the uprising when the time comes."

Li Wei said with a smile.

You can't tell the truth, otherwise someone will definitely blame him for sitting back and watching the rebel army grow.

"Who is it? Akbetas? Pylos?"

Spartacus asked anxiously, and said two names in a row, both of whom were the commanders of the rebel army.

Li Wei shook his head, even now he doesn't know who betrayed him, it seems that Ixion did a good job.

"You'll find out soon enough."

Levi said.

Spartacus' face was cloudy and he could only look at Regium anxiously.

The Roman army quickly rushed into the city, and soon there were shouts of killing everywhere in the city, and raging fires were even ignited in some places.

At this time, dozens of soldiers of the slave rebel army came against the flow of people under the escort of some Roman soldiers, and one of them held a head in his hand.

That hand was holding the head of Curius. He and Curius were siblings, but he was killed by a traitor!

"Ixion! It's you!!"

Spartacus said angrily, he thought of many people, but never thought it would be Ixion.

Ixion supported him in almost everything, which made him trust Ixion more, and he never thought that he would betray himself.

He struggled desperately, but was firmly restrained by the Roman soldiers behind him.

Ixion gave him a cold look, he was really a pitiful creature who had been manipulated by others from beginning to end.

He walked up to Li Wei, and knelt down like a jade pillar.

"The sinner Ixion has seen his master. The sinner knows that he has sinned deeply, so he offers the head of Curius for forgiveness."

"You have done a good job. As a faithful believer of the true God, you have fulfilled your mission perfectly. In the name of the Roman general, I declare that you will be exonerated from all crimes, and I will grant you the status of Roman citizenship and reward you with 100,000 yuan dinar."

Li Wei looked at him deeply and said.

"Thank you General!"

Ixion had a look of surprise on his face. Li Wei really fulfilled his original promise and gave him citizenship, which was worth all his painstaking efforts.

Gabinius looked at him in shock. He didn't expect Li Wei to take down the city of Regium so easily. He thought there would be another big battle.

"It's time for Pompeo to act too."

Li Wei said to Gabinius.

Gabinius nodded, and immediately sent a Pegasus to report to Pompey.

***

***

The news that Li Wei defeated Spartacus and regained Regium quickly spread back to Rome, which made the whole Rome rejoice.

Sure enough, they did not choose the wrong person. Facing Li Wei's fierce attack, Spartacus had no power to fight back and was easily defeated. This made Li Wei's reputation in Rome even higher.

After regaining Regium, Li Wei ordered the Crusaders to stay put and wait for his next order.

Then he headed north with eight legions and more than 6,000 captives, whom he decided to escort to Rome himself.

At the same moment, Pompey led his army down across the Rubicon.

After hearing the news, the Senate smelled an ominous smell.

On the Appian Way not far from Rome, a huge army is marching. This is the returning Roman army.

Livi rode at the forefront of the army on horseback, which is the tradition of the Roman army.

The caravans on the road took the initiative to give way to the army and applauded Li Wei.

It was Livy who put down the slave rebellion and brought peace to Rome again.

Crosses were erected on both sides of the avenue, and a number of slaves were crucified on them. These were the captives Li Wei sent back to Rome.

These crosses stretched for several kilometers, and the Roman army walked for half a day without seeing the end.

This made Li Wei couldn't help frowning, the Romans were always so cruel.

At this time, he found a huge team waiting for him in front of him, among them were many elders of the Senate.

Li Wei swept away those elders. These elders had complex factions, not only his people, but also those from Pompey, Crassus, and Metellus. The leader was the lawyer patriarch Cicero.

"Cicero, why are you here?"

Li Wei asked, how many miles are there from Rome?

"The Senate learned that the general had returned from victory, and specially ordered us to greet him, and at the same time convey the order of the Senate."

Cicero said, but his face was a little unnatural.

"What order."

Levi asked.

"The Senate ordered you to disband the army on the spot, and only keep one legion to ensure that the captives will not make trouble."

Cicero said.

Li Wei was not surprised by this, because he had already received the news.

"no problem."

Levi said, "I just have one condition."

Cicero's heart trembled, and he quickly asked, "What conditions?"

"Both Pompeo and I have made outstanding contributions to the country. I hope that Pompeo and I can participate in the consul contest next year."

Levi said.

Hearing this, all the elders wailed in their hearts.

Sure enough, this rumor has been circulated again in Rome in recent days, but I didn't expect it to come true in the end.

"Li Wei, how can you trample on Roman law so recklessly, what's the use of law if this continues."

Said an elder.

Li Wei glanced at him lightly, he was a veteran who had a very close relationship with Metellus.

Although the two sides had a truce, they really did not give up.

"Laws are made by people. I think this matter can be submitted to the Citizens' Assembly and the Senate, and the Roman people and the Senate will decide the matter."

Levi said.

"You... what will you do if the Senate disagrees?"

The elder was so angry that he pointed at Li Wei and couldn't speak. Li Wei was definitely a habitual offender. Every time he was asked to lead troops, he would always smash the sky while making great achievements.

Next time, absolutely, absolutely, absolutely, never let him lead the troops again!

Li Wei glanced at him lightly, "Then the consequences will be very serious, Pompeo and I will refuse to disband the army."

"Li Wei, you are too much."

"You can't do that."

"..."

The elders said dissatisfiedly.

However, some elders remained silent, and these were elders who were closely related to Li Wei and Pompey.
