"I don't know what this young man wants, but I know he will definitely get anything he does." - Caesar commented on Brutu

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Agripa, with his cavalry team, held the enemy's heads and cheered loudly to return to the camp, because this would better boost the sluggish morale.

Then, Agripa entered the tent of the young Caesar's coach. Seeing the other party staring at the sand table thoughtfully, and looking through the words and documents next to him from time to time, he found that the young Caesar now had become much more mature than in the previous Battle of Mutina. At least his fear and frustration would not be clearly shown. At this time, Mesenas, who was responsible for the camp, walked up to congratulate Agripa for a few words and gave a wink, meaning that the other party was time to persuade the head coach to withdraw.

"Seven legions, three new legions, and four regular Italian legions are always forced by the four legions of Brutu, and he is constantly eating up the scattered soldiers or baggage troops. Something must have been wrong, it must be!" At this time, Young Caesar finally spoke.

Then, he saw the two closest aides beside him, and stretched out his hands, "My close friend, are there any faults I said? If so, you must point it out. I remember that it must be because of the lack of cavalry in our army that led to the Etolia cavalry in Brutu's success in raids. Is that true? Mesenas, Agripa, you are all personally commanding the battle on the front line."

"Yes, Mr. Caesar." Mesenas said softly, "Our ala cavalry is not as capable as the other party. We often suffer losses in battles and escape. So my proposal is to recruit barbarian cavalry in the Illyria and Dalmatia regions to strengthen our strength."

Regarding this friend's proposal, he happened to be the young Caesar's thoughts. He excitedly tapped the table with his fingers to express his approval of Mesenas, "You are right, and you will immediately withdraw a considerable amount of military funds and go to recruit more cavalry."

"In addition, we lack more deputy generals and senior officers. We must promote a group from qualified and excellent cavalry captains and centurions to let the soldiers learn to obey and respect. If there is insufficient staff, I will ask the Senate to send some respectable figures to assist in command." Young Caesar felt that the bad luck of the previous defeat was blown away. Since the current situation has found its entry point, there is great potential. At this moment, he noticed Agripa, who always stood aside but did not say a word and lowered his head. " Speaking of this, Agripa, your brother used to serve in the army for many years. I will immediately write a letter to invite him to command a legion."

But this enthusiastic invitation did not make Agripa smile, "Friends, I must tell the truth - the legion's training is too poor, and the morale is very low now. Many soldiers have not mastered the skills of combat, and we need to camp and rest."

"Camping and resting? But... Isn't the opponent Brutu a new legion?"

"Brutu's recruitment was very clever. He first inspires democratic republicans in Athens and gives speeches, allowing many craftsmen and citizens to join the team. Then he uses these connections to expand his army in all Greece, even Epirus and Peloponnese. The Greeks in these areas are brave and good at fighting, and because of their beliefs and stances, they hate us..."

Before Agripa finished speaking, Young Caesar raised his hand to stop him, "My friend, as we all know, the Greeks are cowardly culture. How could they be Italians and opponents of our Romans? Brutu's advantage now is just a temporary courage. We only need to stop him in Thessalia and will sooner or later turn defeat into victory."

"Then we have to start the winter camp early, let me build a solid barrier camp in the city of Golph, and use half a year to let the centurion train soldiers so that we will have a chance in the coming year."

"But my time is very tight." Young Caesar held the seal in his hand tightly and said anxiously.

"But our funds are not sufficient, and Brutu has eroded half of the towns in Thessalia, so I still recommend..."

"Enough!" Young Caesar put the seal on the table and made a loud noise. He supported the edge of the table with both hands and stood up. "I have already said, time, time! Time is the most critical thing that can surpass all tactics and money, but you, Agripa, are constantly emphasizing various false difficulties, which is simply disappointing me." Then he rubbed his face with his hands, "That's right, maybe this is not a single battlefield, but I should have opened up other battlefields - if you don't have money, ask for it from Leo in the city of Lelibi."

"This is unruly." Agripa continued to argue, which aroused the anger of Young Caesar, who complained, "The money required by my seven legions was robbed from the previous public enemy's declaration, and the inheritance of the adoptive father, the donation of the free slaves. But what about Libidaus's army? I have no way to compare with him. I have no choice but to do so."

"Yes, I think I can use Leo for some help, after all, there is a personal friendship in it." Mesenas inserted this sentence very "fairly", and finally strengthened Young Caesar's determination, "use him with military funds worth 500 Tarant, as soon as possible!"

This is the background of how Young Caesar submitted this document.

When the night fell and Agripa took the cavalry to the patrol camp, Mesenas, as a staff member, remained in the camp, formulated a command to arrange the post, and began to plan the next recruitment and action plan. "Please note that Young Caesar, we can let the recruits stay in Gorph, and then let the four main legions detour from the left to Atadias City, where there is a river with cheap terrain that can successfully lure Brutu to come for rescue, and then we will carry out a decisive battle to defeat him-but we need a large number of cavalry, so don't blame Agripa, he just wants things to be safer."

"Yes, it's safer." Young Caesar suddenly smiled, "I won't blame any of you, absolutely not."

Mesenas felt that this person had a different idea, but he still kept silent, "What are you doing?" He looked at the young Caesar who was writing quickly and asked.

"I have been keeping letters with Corinna. She is worried about me and keeps hinting that I hope I can take into account the engagement and not leave her behind in the battlefields of other countries to find other marriages." Young Caesar replied, and then he told Mesenas, "She is such a worried girl, right? How could I betray her?"
