Roman Slave Owner

Chapter 104 hostage

After Esilius left, Hadrianus winked at his men, and they left here knowingly, chatting with nearby soldiers.

Talk about how much money they made during the expedition to Greece, how rich they are now, and occasionally invite them to drink a little wine, directly enviing the soldiers, but Scipio knows nothing about it.

Scipio kept dragging him, not seeing Hadrianus for several days.

Hadrianus was so angry that even though he had a special mission to take advantage of them, he had to return to life as soon as possible, and he couldn’t stay here forever.

In the end, he was stuck at the entrance of Scipio’s camp. When forced to do nothing, Scipio could only see him.

“I can negotiate with you, but there are two conditions.”

Scipio said with a smile.

At this time, Sura had already pitched the large camp not far from the Scipio barracks. Because the two sides were in the peace talks, the soldiers on both sides encountered and did not fight outside.

Come and go, they even talked.

Under Sura’s instruction, Sura’s soldiers brag desperately about how rich they are and how much they have gained from the war, which attracted the envy of the Roman soldiers.

The news that Sura’s soldiers are very wealthy spread quickly.

In contrast, the soldiers of Scipio were extremely poor, which made Scipio’s army turbulent.

Li Wei liked to hear about this, and perhaps Scipio’s men would surrender on their own initiative in the near future.

On this day, Sura called the generals again for discussion, and Li Wei hurried to Sura’s account.

“Scipio agrees to peace talks, but we must send hostages?”

After hearing the news from Hadrianus, Sura frowned and looked at Li Wei.

He actually wanted to repeat his record in Greece. After making peace with the King of Pontus, Sura did not experience a battle, so he persuaded the Roman army to go to conquer him.

If he can succeed, he can step on the upper position of the Scipio family, and his light will shine on the entire Mediterranean.

“I don’t think there is a problem. We can send Hadrianus and the hostages to Scipio. But I think someone will disagree with the peace talks. They will try to disrupt the peace talks. Then we can take the opportunity to request the return of the hostages.”

Li Wei said.

“He said you must be in the hostage.”

Hadrianus smiled and said, Nima asked me to do dangerous things, try it for you.

Li Wei’s face was dull, he thought for a while, and then said with a serious face: “I think this plan is too loopy, or it’s invalidated, let’s fight it. Do you think Pompeo?”

Sura: “…”

Metelus: “…”

Everyone can’t help being dumbfounded. What about morals? Don’t do it so soon.

Pompeo: “Ah…cough… I agree with Li Wei. Li Wei controls three legions. I firmly oppose allowing Li Wei to be a hostage.”

Good brother, speak loyalty, it is worthy of giving you a famous sword, Li Wei secretly praised.

“Who do you think will ruin the peace talks?”

Sura asked.

“Sedorius.”

Li Wei thought for a while and said.

Sula’s eyes flashed with cold light. When he attacked Rome that year, Sedoriu did a lot of effort and was his mortal.

“It makes sense.”

Sura said with a sullen face, “Since Li Wei doesn’t want to be a hostage, let Fostus go.”

Hearing this, everyone was shocked.

“Never, never send Fostus. We can send someone else. Fostus must never be sent as a hostage.”

Li Wei said quickly.

Who is Fostus? This is Sura’s biological son.

Li Wei did not expect that Sura would actually send her own son as a hostage. People who can make great things in history are indeed extraordinary.

“Yeah, I can’t send Fostus.”

Everyone persuaded.

“The old Scipio is very slippery, he will only think about delaying until winter, and then we will naturally retreat.”

Sura said, “So we have to make some changes to the plan. I know very well that Scipio’s deputy Katilin, a very greedy person, borrowed a lot of usury, and couldn’t pay it off at all, as long as we promise to help him pay it off. If you are in debt, if you allow him a little benefit, he has a great opportunity to rely on us.”

Hearing this, Li Wei fell into deep thought. It is really unreliable to rely entirely on history.

And is Scipio really cowardly and incompetent? How can so many people be mistaken? Will he have other considerations, such as the continuation of the family?

“Why send your nephew, don’t you have a nephew named Publius?”

Li Wei said, now it can only take the lesser of the two evils. Instead of letting Sula’s son go, it is better to let his nephew go.

Sura’s heart moved, yeah, why didn’t he think of his nephew.

“Which one of you wants to take a hostage.”

Li Wei looked back at Leberis and Belieus at this time, they were the commanders of his two legions.

Leberis and Belieus have bitter faces. How come the **** that you pulled out, the boss, let us wipe your ass? We said that there are so many troubles in the fight They looked at each other. At a glance, Leberis finally took a step forward.

“Let me be a hostage.”

Li Wei nodded with satisfaction, and then said: “Having your nephew and a deputy hostage, I think this specification is high enough. If he refuses, we have to doubt his sincerity.”

“Add one more person. I served in my father’s barracks together with Katilin. He had a good relationship with my slave Demetrius.”

Pompeo said at this time.

“How about you slave?”

Sura asked.

“He is talented, can speak well, and is a wizard. If it weren’t for his status as a slave, his achievements might not be as good as mine.”

Pompeo said with a wry smile.

Everyone was amazed, but he didn’t expect such talents.

Sula’s eyes flickered, and finally nodded, “That’s it.”

So Hadrianus once again went to the barracks in Scipio and talked about conditions with Scipio, and Scipio continued to delay Dafa.

At this time, Li Wei called Sura and many other generals over to let them see the big killer he prepared for Scipio.

“Everyone, this is the siege machine I prepared for Scipio, its full name is the counterweight trebuchet. As long as dozens of these trebuchets are built, it will be easy to take down the barracks of Scipio.”

Li Wei pointed to a tall trebuchet and said that this is actually a return shot in history. The principle is very simple. It is to use counterweight stones to greatly increase the speed of throwing objects. The principle is very simple and it is a real one. Siege weapon.

In history, Rome also had its own offensive weapon spring torsion trebuchet, but it was a matter of the Roman Empire, and now this matter has not been written yet.
