In fact, when Statius ran away two years ago, he wanted to go to the Iberian legion commanded by his father Africanas Perennis. However, before he arrived, he heard about the Iberian army. There was domestic violence over there, so Statius went to Great Britain.
After all, the only reliable-sounding legion in the north these days is the Twenty Eagle Banners Legion. They prepare their own armor and weapons. After the evaluation, Statius joined the Twenty Eagle Banners Legion as a young soldier, and then quickly Became the captain of the 100-man team.
There is no doubt that this is the result of Perennis' behind-the-scenes operation. Can Perenis really kill his grandson? Even if no one is sent to keep an eye on him, Perennis can find his grandson at any time as long as he is still in Rome.
Gordian, the commander of the 20th Eagle Banner Corps, is also a figure, but when Perennis opens his mouth, he still needs to be given some face. Although he cannot be promoted as an exception, with Statius's ability being reliable, he can be promoted smoothly. Still no problem.
But for now, the centurion is the limit. There is no way. Who makes Statius more unlucky? The centurion in charge of the ten centurions of Statius is called Varilius. Well, also This is the guy who will push the Twenty Eagle Flag Legion to its peak in the future.
By the way, this guy is the same age as Stasius, so struggling is basically useless. Even if Gordian wants to be promoted, he has basically no choice but to live like this. Who can let Variliu Si is stronger!
However, Stasius didn't have any special feelings. He was very satisfied with his "ability" to become a centurion at the age of eighteen.
Of course, this guy also has some ideas about Varilius's captain, but judging from the current situation, Stasius feels that there should be no hope in the short term.
This is why this guy came all the way to patrol. To put it bluntly, he just wanted to gain some merit and be on par with Varilius. After all, everyone is eighteen years old, why are you so good?
However, this time the Celtics did not meet him, but met Li Jue on horseback, which put a lot of pressure on Statius. Yes, Statius was very nervous now.
After all, the words Li Jue Biao came out before sounded false no matter what. Not to mention that Li Jue and others capsized from the Sea of Japan and then got lost to Great Britain. Even getting lost from Central Asia to Great Britain is a very magical situation.
However, even so, Statius still did not dare to take action. As the elite of the 20th Eagle Banner Corps, Statius and the elites behind him could clearly feel the pressure coming from Li Jue and others. , this is definitely not an army of miscellaneous fish.
In this case, regardless of the fact that the difference in strength between the two sides is less than a hundred, if our side takes the initiative to attack, there is a high probability that our side will be on the street.
This is also the reason why Li Jue can get away with everything. The Han Empire is strong enough, and he is strong enough. Many people are willing to chat with Li Jue even if he can't get through.
What if we don’t talk? Can it be fought? Of course, we can't fight. With such a hard fight, you can't win in a fight, and you will get involved. So under normal circumstances, as long as Li Jue and others are willing to talk, others will not take the initiative.
As for pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, of course I don’t want to do that. People like San Shao want to bring their speakers when they appear on stage. No one would dare to mess with them if they are half too cool.
"If it's true, Ganassis is my brother." Li Jue said, patting his chest. Now that he has met someone with whom he can communicate, it is not unacceptable to go back from Rome. "I was talking to Tacito before. We made a deal, I packed twelve boxes of tribute silk for Tacito, we are good friends with the Romans."
Statius nodded after hearing this. He knew that Ganassis and Li Jue had a good relationship. Although others did not know about it, he was the grandson of Perennis after all. Get through these things.
As for Tacito, I have never heard of it, but recently I heard from the legion commander that a batch of tribute silk came from Rome, and I am thinking about how to get some. Tribute-level silk is not something that can be obtained just by thinking about it, which is also in line with Li Jue As I said before, I guess there should be no problem.
"Okay, you guys wait here first. I can't make the decision on this matter. I'll send someone to inform our commander and legion commander first. Marquis Chi Yang, how about you stay here first." Statius said loudly He greeted, "This is not far from the Antonine Wall. You will get a reply soon."
"Then you have to take care of our food." Li Jue looked like a rich man.
After hearing this, Statius thought for a while, nodded and greeted, "As long as you don't run around in our defense area, which is nearby, you can go north. Before the legion commander replies, you can't go south. We can supply Your food.”
Mainly because of Li Jue's natural expression and his strong fighting ability, Statius really didn't want to conflict with Li Jue. After all, the other party said he was not an enemy, so there was no need for them to turn him into an enemy.
"Okay, we haven't eaten rice for a long time, do you have any rice?" Li Jue greeted in the direction of Statius. Since the other party clearly said it was a defense zone, Li Jue, as an orthodox soldier, also knew the weak spots. I couldn’t downvote it, so I responded directly.
"Give them two bags of rice, and give them two pig hind legs. Be careful tonight." Statius greeted the soldiers on the side, and soon someone unloaded two bags of rice from the packhorse to Li Jue, and took two pig hind legs.
Iberian ham has not yet appeared these days, but the Romans have developed preservation technology. Although it cannot reach the level of preservation for several years in later generations, it is still no problem for a month, and using meat as military ration is considered top-notch. A benefit of the Legion.
By the way, Chen Xi has now developed ham that can be stored for six months. As for reaching the level of Iberian ham that can be stored for several years, it is 80% hopeless.
"Thank you, brother. If you have the opportunity to go to Congling, I will give you a set of silk and satin clothes." Li Jue said without any sense of restraint. To be honest, eating meat along the way also made Li Jue's head big. After all, he is not a northern barbarian. To be able to withstand continuous meat consumption, the plant protein of rice is also very important.
That night, Li Jue and others ate barbecue and sang songs, and were very happy and joyful. However, the soldiers led by Statius were cautious and alert. After the night passed, Li Jue and others, who were almost high until dawn, did not look tired at all. However, the Roman soldiers did not have a good rest at night and were a little tired.
"Brother, your soldiers are not trained well. We haven't rested all night and we are not tired. You have rested. Why do you still feel awake?" Li Jue asked with a puzzled look on his face while chewing on the breast meat he had hunted in the morning. .
Statius rolled his eyes. As long as you have interesting conversations until dawn, you will become more energetic. But if you go to bed early at night, if you don't sleep well, you will become sleepier and sleepier. It is better to cultivate immortality.
"We've almost eaten rice, is there any more?" What do you think of Li Jue? He is a person who puts his left cheek on his right cheek. Face words.
Statius said that he had never seen such a shameless guy, but as a nobleman, he really couldn't help his allies when they were in need and he could lend a hand to help, so he kept his face dark. Dragged two bags of rice for Li Jue and others.
In fact, Statius could see that Li Jue and the others had not finished yesterday's two bags of rice, and at least half of the bag was left, but he could not say this.
"I'm so embarrassed." Li Jue acted as if he hadn't said he had finished eating the food before and asked for it again. He pretended that Statius offered it to him and he couldn't refuse it. As a young Si Tatius' eyelids couldn't help but twitch wildly.
"Eat and drink well, brother, why don't you come and compare notes." Li Jue began to challenge Statius's nerves, "There's no point in us being stuck here, why don't we compare notes."
"As long as you don't use your weapon, it's okay." Statius said cautiously, and after listening to Li Jue's words, he became even more alert.
"Don't worry, you will definitely not be able to beat us. If I really want to beat you up, I will beat you up when I meet you." Guo Bin reached out from Li Jue and greeted you, looking like an old man who is not very good at talking and is not satisfied with you. Just come and slap my face.
"Aduo, how can you say that?" Li Jue pushed Guo Si back, "Are we that kind of people? How could we beat them up when we met them?"
Statius breathed a sigh of relief. From these words, it seemed that Li Jue, apart from being a bit cheeky, looked like a human being in other aspects.
However, the next words made Statius hold his breath.
"They have nothing to rob, so why beat them?" Li Jue said.
"Yes, yes, they are all our brothers, innocent, why do you want to beat him up?" Fan Chou said from the side, the soldiers of the 20th Eagle Banner Corps were a little angry, when had they ever been so angry? Are you a complete inhumane bastard like Virgilio?
"I'll go first." The strong barbarian from Iberia stood up. As a Qigong master, as long as he accumulated more military merits, he could become a Roman citizen, so he couldn't bear this humiliation.
"It happens to be okay. I'm here to help you eat." Zhang Yong looked at the other side and stood up decisively.
An opponent will not be too weak, but it will not be as strong as the last ones. It is suitable for you to stand up and take the head, and avoid being ridiculed by some guys who were once on the same level as you, but now seem to be much stronger than you.
The Roman barbarian didn't use his weapon, so Zhang Yong stuck his saber aside, shook his head, waved his arm and walked up.
