- Niccolò Machiavelli (Italian political thinker and historian)

After receiving the second piece of information sent back by Adrien, Bai Feng immediately issued an order to the ghost of the battlefield who sent the information, asking him to convey this order to Adrien, and at the same time, instructing Adrion to carry out the order as soon as possible.

The chaos within the Essini Kingdom made Bai Feng see the chance of victory in the city of Rome, and he gave Adrion an order to secretly get in touch with Assam, Nabazzani, Upton and others, and convey to them the goodwill of the city of Rome.

Eggers' relationship with Queen Boudicca and the city of Rome was witnessed by Assam and Nabazzani, and there was no need for Adrien to prove anything, and the conditions offered by White Peak were good enough.

As long as Assam, Nabazzani, and Upton were willing to surrender to Queen Boudicca's Aceni tribe, the Roman army would become their allies, and Queen Boudicca would not treat them badly when they joined forces to destroy Francis and his army.

Bai Feng, who understood that empty words were unconvincing, also deliberately asked Queen Boudicca and Eggers to jointly write three letters of persuasion, the content of these three letters of persuasion was roughly similar to Bai Feng's meaning, but the arrangements for these three generals were concretized.

At the behest of Bai Feng, Queen Boudicca personally promised that Assam, Nabazani, and Upton could continue to be the leaders of their original camps in the future, but all military power must be handed over to the kingdom, which is also the bottom line of Queen Boudicca and Eggers.

In the future, Queen Boudicca will become the queen of the entire Aceni Kingdom, and the Essini Kingdom will also have its own army, but it must be controlled by the city of Rome.

In Baifeng's plan, more than two-thirds of the people of the Essini Kingdom on the east bank of the Cangluo River will continue to maintain their status as the people of the Essini Kingdom and be under the rule of Queen Boudicca.

Less than a third of the population will move to the east bank of the Cangluo River, forming two or three towns directly under the city of Rome, which is Baifeng's plan for the future kingdom of Aesines, and the reward that the city of Rome deserves for helping Queen Boudicca.

As for the army of the Acenian Kingdom, they must be kept between 50,000 and 100,000 in number, less than 50,000 will not be able to maintain the rule of Queen Boudicca, and more than 100,000 will have the strength to threaten the city of Rome, so it is more appropriate to control this range.

And the supreme commander of the army of the Aceni Kingdom is naturally the general of Joshuaer, who is close to the city of Rome, and when necessary, Bai Feng will also send some Aceni generals who are loyal to the city of Rome into the army of the Aceni Kingdom.

In addition to its own army, the Kingdom of Esini also needed to provide a certain number of warriors to the city of Rome to compensate for the casualties of the Roman army in the last two wars, and Bai Feng had already reached an agreement with Queen Boudicca on all aspects of these matters.

After an order and three letters of surrender were taken away by this battlefield ghost, Bai Feng naturally had to hurry up and prepare for the battle, from the barracks of the army in Rome City to the hinterland of the Aceni Kingdom, it would take nearly a month or so to march.

If you don't hurry up now, maybe when Bai Feng arrives in the hinterland of the Essini Kingdom with the army of Rome City and the Essini tribe, Francis has successfully quelled the rebellion of Assam and others and reunified the Essini Kingdom.

The expedition of the armies of the city of Rome and the Estheni tribe against Francis was an active attack, and when the time came, the people and people were almost all on Francis's side, and it was not easy for their own army to defeat Francis's superior army.

No one thought that a large-scale rebellion would break out within the Aceni Kingdom at this time, which was the best news for Bai Feng; in order to grasp this once-in-a-lifetime fighter, he naturally had to quickly lead the army to the battle.

In less than two days, there will be new treasury funds in the city of Rome, and Bai Feng can also recruit some new troops to participate in the next battle, but out of the consideration of the speed of the soldiers, Bai Feng still decided to go out with the whole army the day before the arrival of November.

All the armies on this expedition were divided into the middle army and the left and right wings by Bai Feng, and the First Army Corps, the Governor's Guard, the Esini Legion, and the Eagle Legion of Eggers personally formed the middle army of the expedition, which was also the main army.

Bazel's Tigers and Gamilios' Tasia formed the left flank of the Central Army, while Bronno's Dragons and Gatus's Cheetahs formed the right flank of the main army.

With this arrangement, Bai Feng's mid-lane army had more than 50,000 soldiers, and the left-wing army with Gamilios as the main general and the right-wing army with Bronno as the main general both had more than 25,000 soldiers.

It stands to reason that the brave and combative Bazel is better suited to be the commander of the left-wing army than Gamilios, but Gamilios is the leader of the Tasia faction, and he is more suitable for the role of commander than Bazel in terms of seniority.

Besides, Gamilios is not a domineering person, with him as the commander of the left-wing army, Bazer can say anything he has bluntly, Bai Feng believes that Gamilios will listen to Bazel's reasonable advice.

With Bronno as the commander of the right-wing army, this is Bai Feng's deliberate arrangement; if Eggers' Eagle Legion is also in the right-wing army, in terms of qualifications and ability, there is no doubt that Eggers will be the main general, so Bai Feng deliberately transferred Eggers away.

Eggers was the absolute leader of the Acenian faction within the city of Rome, and he had a high prestige in the hearts of the generals who were born in Aceni, which was not a good thing for Bai Feng and the city of Rome, and Bai Feng had to suppress Eggers a little.

Of course, as the founder of the Augustan Empire in the past, Bai Feng's priorities for any matter can be clearly distinguished, and if Bronno is not capable of serving as the main general, Bai Feng would rather have more prestige than reuse Bronno.

Officially, because Bronno's own ability is extremely outstanding, enough to serve as the commander of this right-wing army, Bai Feng is relieved and bold to hand over his right-wing army to him;

No matter how outstanding Eggers' ability and strength are, these cannot change another objective fact, that is, Eggers is not young, and there are still ten or twenty years at most, and Eggers will inevitably withdraw from the military circle of Rome.

Could it be that Bai Feng wants to wait until Eggers can't move, and then go to temporarily cultivate talents? Bronno is still very young, and he has enough capital to grow into a general who is in charge of Rome City; Bai Feng naturally needs to cultivate more talents for such talents.

If Bai Feng was really just a black-bellied governor who thought about infighting all day long, then the city of Rome would not have come to this point; maintaining the balance within the forces is the emperor's mental trick, but if you want to become a qualified empire, you need more than this.
