Roman Slave Owner

Chapter 90: Pompey

They just need to take them back. How to identify them is a matter for the officers.

Along the way, they found a large number of scouts.

Although the armies of the two sides have not yet contacted, the reconnaissance cavalry have begun to fight each other.

Among them are not only Numidian cavalry, Roman cavalry, but also some Greek cavalry.

Before long, they came to the front of a large army that was snaking forward.

After some cross-examination, they were finally identified and brought before Sulla's steed.

At this time, Su La was reprimanding a young man with extraordinary appearance.

"Krasu, your father, your brother, and your relatives were all killed by the enemy. I just asked you to recruit soldiers, and you have to protect your safety from me. Are you worthy of your relatives like this?"

Now Sulla is facing attacks from Scipio and Nobanus at the same time. Facing a powerful enemy, he must use every bit of his force reasonably. When he heard that Crassus was going to send troops to protect him, he immediately I'm angry.

Hearing this, the young man's face turned blue and white.

Asking him to recruit troops has to pass through a large number of enemy-occupied areas. He just needs a team of guards to protect his own safety.

But he didn't dare to refute, so he could only say helplessly: "I know, I'll go right away."

After speaking, he left here in despair.

At this moment, Sura saw Hadrianus, his eyes lit up, and he laughed loudly: "You guys are finally back, you must have brought good news this time."

"It's not convenient to say here."

Hadrianus looked around and said, "That one said, I can only report to you alone."

"Well, Pompeo, you come with me. After all, he was the one who gave me the news of your uprising."

Sura smiled and said to an extremely handsome guy in his twenties beside him.

"Who are you talking about?"

The young man looked at Hadrianus with some doubts. Who was he, and he knew the news of his uprising before Sulla.

"You'll know when you come."

Is this person Pompey?

Hadrianus also looked at Pompey in surprise, a big landlord who could organize three legions, and his power was not under Li Wei at all.

Because of Sura's order, Hadrianus was not easy to refute.

When he came to a secluded place, Su La told him the whole story.

"Li Wei is actually one of yours?"

Pompey was shocked, he has been famous for Li Wei for a long time.

No wonder Sura dared to take the initiative to attack Capua with 6 legions. This is his biggest reliance.

"That's right, he was the one who got the news of your uprising first, and then Hadrianus sent someone to tell me so that I could lead troops to meet you in time."

Sura said with a smile.

"So that's the case, so we will win this battle."

Pompeo said.

"Yes, the defection of the three legions will determine the outcome of this war. If he sincerely joins us, we will easily occupy Capua. If it is false, the strength of Nobanus plus the garrison of Capua and With Li Wei's three legions, the enemy's strength will be far greater than ours..."

Speaking of this, Sura's face was full of gloom.

If it is fake, maybe he will suffer a defeat here. It can be said that Li Wei completely determines the outcome of this war.

Now he was facing the Roman legion, not some barbarian army.

Facing the barbarian army, he can win more with less.

Facing the Roman Legion may not be so. Later, Sulla and the enemy fought the final decisive battle under the city of Rome. Sulla's main formation was almost pierced by the enemy. It was Crassus' army that gained the upper hand and won the battle. .

If it weren't for Scipio's slippery hands, it would be difficult to get cheap under his hands,

How would he risk Capua.

"Did he really trust us?"

Pompeo was a little worried.

Sura didn't answer, but looked at Hadrianus.

Hadrianus thought for a while and said: "It should be sincere. He didn't hide many things from us, including the deployment of Capua's troops and the city defense map."

"What's the matter with you this time?"

Sura asked.

"Levi sent me to report on Capua's situation. In addition, he has drawn up a battle plan and hopes to get your approval."

Hadrianus explained Levi's plan in detail.

Sulla and Pompey thought carefully after hearing this. If this plan is successful, then this time they will surely win.

But if it is fake, then maybe you will lose the battle.

Pompey looked at Su La. He was the commander of the army, and he still had to make this decision.

Sura thought for a long time, and then said, "I'll just trust him once."

***

Sura came, and the scouts from both sides had already started fighting, and the news spread quickly throughout Capua.

There was a chaotic scene of people everywhere. Some knights and nobles directly left Capua to seek refuge in other places. More civilians could only bear all this silently and frantically hoard all supplies.

They silently prayed to the gods, hoping that disaster would not befall Capua.

Even Li Wei was very busy. Due to the limited force, he had to temporarily abandon Dragon City and transfer all the materials in Dragon City to Capua.

"Is our food ready?"

In a manor of Li Wei in Capua City, Li Wei asked.

"It's all put in the warehouse, enough food for 20,000 people for three years, not a single grain is missing."

Geta said happily.

As the saying goes, if you have food in your hand, you don't panic.

Li Wei used to ask Yulia to transfer 300,000 dinars to buy food every month, and now it finally bears sweet fruits.

No matter whether you sell or eat so much food, you will not lose money.

If you sell it, you can at least make a terrifying profit of several million dinars.

"We must be optimistic about our food. If there are any problems, I will only ask you."

Levi said.

In ancient times, productivity was backward, and food was not as cheap as later generations, and one person's income was often exhausted by eating.

What's more, now is the time of war, if Sura promises to provide various expenses for his soldiers, then he will sell the food and make a fortune at that time.

With this money, when Sulla captured Rome, he could just take the opportunity to sweep up the goods and buy various real estate and real estate.

The reason why Crassus became the richest man in Rome was that he made his fortune by purchasing a large number of cheap real estate in Rome during this period.

You must know that real estate in Rome is notoriously expensive, and this is probably the best opportunity to buy real estate in Rome cheaply.

"Guaranteed to complete the task."

Gaita said.

"By the way, Geta, who do you think will win this war?"

Li Wei asked with a smile.

"If it's this battle, of course we can win."

Geta said, "Part of Sulla's army was restrained by Scipio, and he dared to divide his troops to attack us. He didn't know what to do. He didn't behave like a famous general, he was an idiot."
