Roman Slave Owner

Those Aedui cavalrymen were covered in cold sweat, what should they do?

"I am an officer's personal guard. Today I went with him to report to the Helvetians. He said it was an order from Dunorex."

Then an Aedui cavalryman said.

Hearing this, Li Wei was really shocked.

Donorex actually tipped off the Helvetians, isn't it too magical?

"Could you be mistaken?"

Levi asked.

"It is true that Dunorex is the son-in-law of the Helvetian chief, with whom he has always been connected, and who was the one who insisted on allowing the Helvetians to pass through our territory. "

said the cavalryman.

Li Wei and Belieusus couldn't help but glanced at each other. How could it be like this? They felt that the situation was a bit complicated.

"Very well, you don't have to die. As a Roman general, I grant the status of Roman free citizens to your two families. Your whole family can live anywhere in Rome."

Levi said.

As for being a citizen, it is impossible. This requires great efforts. Many veterans have served their entire lives to obtain citizenship, because it can be seen that citizenship is precious.

As for the naturalization of foreign soldiers by Americans in later generations, this is still learned from the Romans.

"Thank you General."

The cavalryman was overjoyed and said that Li Wei had solved their worries, so that their family could leave Gaul.

The rest of the people were extremely terrified, their last chance to survive was gone, were they going to die?

"Take them down temporarily, and bring those officers over."

Levi said.

He decided to figure out how much this matter was involved overnight.

As for sparing their lives, that is impossible.

A bright moon was hanging high in the sky, and Dunorex was walking anxiously around a tent. Several Roman soldiers stood guard outside the tent, listening vigilantly to the movement inside the tent from time to time.

Li Wei did not do anything to him, but locked him up alone.

This made him feel a little relieved, but three hours had passed, why didn't Li Wei see him, did he already find out something.

At this moment, a centurion came in with several soldiers.

"The general wants to see you, come with us."

The centurion said coldly.

"All right."

Dunorex didn't argue, and left here directly with them.

Not long after, he came to Li Wei's big tent.

I saw Li Wei sitting behind a table looking at him coldly, and several Aeduil officers were kneeling on the ground covered in blood.

There were wounds all over their bare skin, and it was obvious that they had been tortured.

This made Dunorex's heart skip a beat, and it seemed that Li Wei had hit hard.

And one of the officers was the one he had sent to inform the Helvetians, would he say something he shouldn't have said.

"Report to the general, Dunorex brought it here."

said the centurion.

Li Wei waved his hand, and the centurion and his men left immediately.

"Dunorex, can you tell me why you deserted today?"

Li Wei tapped on the table lightly, and looked at Dunorex carefully.

Dunorex rolled his eyes and said: "General Qi, we are not familiar with the Roman bugle, and we misread the order of Lieutenant General Belieus, which is why we had this misunderstanding. When I realized that I had committed It was irreversible when I made a mistake, and I was so frightened at that time that I didn't dare to see Lieutenant General Belieus, so I could only flee back to the camp and beg the general to punish me."

"But your men tell me that you did it on purpose. You want us and the Helvetians to fight each other, and you'll make money."

Levi said.

"This is slander! This is blatant slander! General Levi, don't believe what they say. I, Dunorex, have always been kind to Rome.

How could such an order be given. Also please tell me their names, General, I am willing to confront them on the spot,"

Dunorex said excitedly, his eyes were as big as copper bells, as if he had been wronged by the sky.

"Iovice, repeat your words."

Li Wei said to an Aedui officer who was kneeling.

The officer gave Dunorex a fearful look, and Dunorex had a fierce expression on his face, threatening without any concealment.

"It's like this..."

The officer told them exactly what happened, including what made them escape during the war.

"I can testify to him that Dunorex did say that before he fled."

At this time, several other officers also said one after another.

Dunorex looked at them angrily. He didn't expect that all the cavalry officers who spent so much money to support them would all rebel.

"Why do you slander me! What good is this? Have you been bribed by the Helvetians?"

Dunorex excitedly wanted to rush forward to beat them, but was quickly held down by the Roman soldiers behind him.

There was a weird smile on Li Wei's face. This guy really didn't shed tears when he saw the coffin. He was quite a film king.

"Do you think so many people are slandering you? They are all your cronies!"

Levi said.

"Yes! I don't know who bought them. It may be my enemy in Aedui. You know that many people don't like me, especially because I contracted the tax and blocked many people's money."

Dunorex said.

"All right, then, bring the man up."

Li Wei sneered, today he wants him to be convinced.

Soon two Roman soldiers brought up a heavily tied Helvetian. After seeing this man, Dunorex was shocked, how he was even caught.

"Do you know this person?"

Levi said.

"do not know."

Dunorex shook his head and said.

"The leaders of the Helvetians and Gulinni tribe, do you want him to identify who contacted them?"

Li Wei said while holding back his anger.

Big drops of cold sweat couldn't help streaming down Dunorex's forehead, it seemed that he was also recruited, what should he do?

"Tell me, who told you that Rome was going to send a large army to attack you?"

Li Wei said coldly.

"It's him, Iovice."

Several Gulini leaders pointed to the officer and said.

"At that time, I personally interrogated him, and he directly pointed out Eoves among the ten people. Do you have anything else to say?"

Levi said.

"me……"

Dunorex was speechless.

"When I learned that you were besieged by the enemy, I traveled thousands of miles and led an army from the south of the Alps to help you. Is this how you repay me?"

Li Wei said angrily.

These Aedui are too much!

"You... are not for the territory of Gaul."

Dunorex calmed down quickly, then looked into Li Wei's eyes and said, without the slightest flinching in his eyes.

"What's the matter, the territory they don't want, can't we Romans want it?"

Li Wei sneered.

"You and the Germans are invaders, the Gaul of the South of the Hill was our Gaul territory, but you Romans occupied it. Then you occupied the Gaul of the North of the Hill, but you are not satisfied, if I guess right , then you will occupy the whole of Gaul."

Dunorex said with a sneer.

"Haven't you heard that my target is the Germans east of the Rhine."

Li Wei did not refute, but said.

"Then how do you plan to cross the Rhine, and you plan to occupy the territory of the Sequanis?"

Dunorex said disdainfully.

Li Wei glanced at him lightly, and he admitted that he was right.

Mountain North Gaul and the Rhine River do not border each other. If you want to cross the Rhine River, you must occupy a Gaul territory along the Rhine River. The Sequani territory is definitely very suitable.

"We Celts originally occupied a vast territory in Europe. Even east of the Rhine River, we have a large area of ​​land. It is because of you and the Germans that our Celtic territory is getting smaller and smaller."

Dunorex said angrily, "How many Celts have been displaced because of you and have to leave their homeland."

Li Wei shook his head, "Do you want me to talk about history? If I remember correctly, you Celts once broke through Rome, and almost wiped out the Romans."

Dunorex's face froze, there was indeed such a thing.

"I can understand your feelings, but it doesn't mean I agree with your actions. Your subordinates will pay the price for this!"

Levi said.

"Then what are you going to do with me?"

Dunorex smiled bitterly.

"I want to discuss this with your brother. You will be punished, but you won't die."

Levi said.

After all, Dunorex is a noble man, and the leader of the Aedui is still a brother-in-law.

If Dunorex was killed, he might turn against the Aedui.

Although the Aeduis and the Sequanis have been fighting all year round, in the eyes of the Gauls it is a civil war between them, and they can stop the war at any time to deal with outsiders.

At least for the time being, Li Wei has no plans to turn against the Aeduis.

"All right then."

A hint of disdain appeared on Dunorex's face. It didn't matter that Li Wei was a Roman general, but he still didn't dare to kill him after all.

After sending Dunorex away, Li Wei summoned all the lieutenants to announce the matter.

"Are you going to let him go like this?"

Belieus said angrily.

"The Aedui are the strength we must fight for now. They can draw tens of thousands of troops."

Li Wei looked helpless.

As long as the pro-Roman leader of Aedui is alive, he doesn't have to worry about the Aedui rebellion in a short time, and the tens of thousands of troops can be used by him.

"But don't worry, I will send him to Rome, and we don't have to worry about him making trouble."

Li Wei said, "I hope everyone can remember that in Gaul, we are alone. Don't trust our allies easily. Don't trust the Gauls easily. The Gauls are extremely fickle. We can only rely on ourselves .”

He has decided to write a letter to the king of Numidia, he needs more cavalry, he hopes he can send 8000 cavalry to support himself.

Everyone's faces were extremely serious, and they felt that this war might be extremely difficult.

"What about those deserters?"

asked Lucias.

"Tomorrow you will know."

Li Wei said with a smile.

The next morning, Levi stood on a simple rostrum.

There are more than 500 unarmed Aedui cavalry under the rostrum, and two Roman soldiers stand behind each cavalry.

In addition, a large number of Galacian, Armenian and Roman cavalry surrounded the rostrum.

They looked at Li Wei quietly, and they believed that Li Wei would give them an explanation.

"Brave soldiers, yesterday we achieved a great victory. We defeated a tribe of Helvetians, killed more than five thousand enemies, and captured more than thirty thousand enemies."

Levi said loudly.

"Long live Rome!"

"Long live Li Wei!"

"Long live the Prophet!"

"..."

Everyone shouted.

No matter where the soldiers are, as long as they can bring them victory, they will respect him.

Li Wei pressed down his hand lightly, and the cheers gradually stopped.

"But this victory is not perfect, because someone deserted yesterday."

Levi said loudly, "This is an extremely shameful thing, especially when we have the advantage. So I decided to punish them. If they are not punished, it will be unfair to the brave soldiers."

"In view of yesterday's extraordinary circumstances, all the officers will be put to death. The ordinary cavalry will be drawn, and one out of every ten will die. The rest will be organized into death squads, and they will carry out the most dangerous missions until the end of this war. So far. I announce that the lottery will be held below!"

Li Wei decided to hide the truth, as long as the lieutenants knew something.

Once the truth is known to everyone, it will have an adverse effect on the war.

Caesar also knew about this in history, and Dunorex was not punished too much.

The reality is always such injustice. It sounds nice to say that the prince broke the law and committed the same crime as the common people, but in fact it has never been realized, even in later generations of the West.

Under the order of the Roman soldiers, the Aedui cavalry began to line up to draw lots. If they were drawn with ordinary cobblestones, they could live, but if they were drawn with black ink, they would be sentenced to death.

Some of the Aedui cavalrymen who had drawn black cobblestones began to break down mentally, and even started to make trouble, but they were quickly restrained and tied up, and then escorted to the rostrum and knelt down.

Although those ordinary cobblestones won't die immediately, they will be sent to perform tasks with an astonishing death rate. It would be nice if they can live until the end of the war.

As for those officers, it was even worse. They didn't even have the right to choose, and they were directly sentenced to death by Li Wei.

One after another, the Aedui cavalry were escorted to the rostrum, and finally the number exceeded 100.

Those Galacian cavalry yelled at them, and it was these cowards who caused their losses.

"Report to the general, everyone has been smoked."

said Lucias.

"Very good! Now I declare! Execution!"

Levi said loudly.

Hundreds of sharp machetes were raised high, and then slashed down fiercely.

"Pfft!"

"Pfft!"

"..."

Hundreds of heads rolled to the ground, blood spattering.
