The GH army from the east was summoned by the Senate in Rome.
He was ready to come to the west and take down the Caesar Faction, represented by Octavian and Anthony.
They mainly saw that Octavian and Anthony of Caesar's faction were not on good terms.
He was ready to take the opportunity to march west and rebuild GH, making Rome great again!
But they had clearly underestimated Octavian's political power.
Octavian saw that the newcomer had ill intentions and immediately went north to unite Anthony, who seemed to have a grudge against him.
Tell him that Brutus and Cassius have gathered 20 legions in the Eastern Province.
If
Caesar's faction did not unite, they would be in danger of being defeated by the enemy one by one.
Thus, on January 27, 43 B.C., Anthony, Octavian, and Lepidus each led five legions.
They met near Bologna in northern Italy. After two days of negotiations, the three parties openly formed an alliance, known as the last three political alliances.
The combined forces of the last three alliances, along with the ones that were recruited later, had reached the strength of 20 legions.
A legion in ancient Rome had about six thousand soldiers.
As for where they got the money from…
... The
third head was the first major event, which was to thoroughly settle the score of the people who assassinated Caesar.
In fact, it was all the people who had opposed the three of them.
Or those that they disliked, those that were untamed, those that were shifty-eyed, they would all be eliminated!
There were about 300 members of the Council of Elders and more than 2000 rich landowners. They were all killed. There was no trial, no appeal, and all their property was confiscated!
At this point, Octavian had completed the repeated jumps between the stubborn Caesar faction led by Anthony and the Senate of GH faction.
And every time, he was the one who benefited the most.
It was obvious that Octavian's judgment of the situation and his reaction speed had reached a terrifying level.
He danced in the whirlpool of politics with old foxes who were much more experienced than him, but he could always make himself invincible.
What kind of brains and schemes were needed?
How could he be as calm as a cold-blooded machine?
Just thinking about the person who could do all this made one shudder.
This was Octavian, a political genius who was close to being an abstinent.
Other than benefits, he was not moved by anything else.
In
the autumn of 42 B.C., Anthony and Octavian sent troops to Greece.
In October, the vanguard arrived at Phillippe City in Thrace.
Philip was located on the northern shore of the Aegean Sea, about 20 kilometers away from the sea. It was located on a small mountain.
There was a gorge to the east of the city. The situation was very dangerous and had always been a battleground for military strategists.
Anthony's advance party set up camp here.
When Brutus and Cassius heard the news of Anthony's march into the Caucasus, they quickly led their troops out of Asia Minor and into Thrace, marching towards Phillippe.
Since the Sabiya Gorge had been occupied by the enemy and could not be crossed, they were led by a local guide through the rugged mountain road and took a detour to Phillippe.
There were two hills to the north of Phillippe, one in the south and one in the north. The two hills were only two kilometers apart.
Between the two mountains was the waterway that led to Asia.
To the south of the mountain was a swamp that extended all the way to the seaside.
Brutus and Cassius saw that the two mountains were dangerous and easy to defend, so they set up camp here.
Brutus was stationed at the North Mountain, while Cassius guarded the South Mountain.
Anthony and Octavian saw that the enemy had already occupied a favorable terrain, so they could only set up camp on the west side of the two mountains.
In this way, the three camps formed a three-pronged situation.
…
If Octavian were to face such a situation alone, he would not be able to escape death.
Octavian knew nothing about war, or rather, he didn't know how to fight at all.
Back then, he was able to defeat Anthony only because of the soldiers under Anthony who were also Caesar's old subordinates.
Facing this "Caesar II" who had already confirmed his identity as Caesar's heir, their morale was low.
On his side, the soldiers who followed Caesar's rightful heir had high morale.
Therefore, Octavian's military victory could almost be said to be a political victory.
This time was no exception.
His political alliance with Anthony allowed him to share Anthony's military leadership skills.
And Anthony can defeat the enemy
This meant that Octavian could defeat the enemy.
"
This Octavian is so sinister
…He always looks inferior to his enemy, but every time, he can find a way to defeat his enemy.”
"This is called political tactics. Of course, you can say that this is sinister, but which person who is good at politics is not sinister?”
"But I still like those emperors who can fight their own battles.”
"Even Liu Bang is stronger than him! Compared to Han Xin and Xiang Yu, Liu Bang's military ability was not as good. Compared to other people of his generation, he was still very powerful!”
"However, Octavian's political methods have to be said to be the highest among the emperors on the list.”
"The main thing is that he can move accurately and quickly, and he can think of some operations that ordinary people can't think of!”
"The sensitivity of his sense of smell and the speed of his judgment are simply beyond the reach of others!”
After
the last three factions won the battle at Phillippe, the forces of the old GH faction were basically completely wiped out.
The Caesar Faction had completely stepped onto the stage of history.
It had been proven that Rome had developed to this stage and had such a vast territory and many ethnic groups.
The old aristocratic GH forces were no longer suitable to lead Rome forward.
It was just like bringing the future Roman Empire, which could already be seen in its embryonic form, to the present.
However, he still needed a powerful figure to integrate everything that needed to be integrated.
Otherwise, it was not impossible for Rome to continue maintaining itself in such a nondescript manner.
…
Octavian, Anthony, and Leibida.
Rome, which belonged to the three of them, was divided into three spheres of influence.
Anthony controlled the eastern part of Rome, the same as the current chickens, to Egypt.
Octavian ruled Italy and Gaul.
Lepidus ruled over the North, West Bannish.
The three of them had divided Rome cleanly.
If one were to look at the division of territory, Anthony was actually the strongest.
Egypt was the granary of Rome and had been effectively managed since the time of Alexander the Great.
However, Gaul, north of Rome, had just been conquered by Caesar.
Moreover, there was a large population in Rome, so there was no way to be self-sufficient in food.
They still needed to rely on Anthony's Egypt to supply them.
However, there was another benefit to obtaining Rome.
That was political initiative, and that seemed to be enough for Octavian.
…
Octavian held the fort in Rome and gradually reached a compromise with the upper rulers such as the elders and knights.
He also regarded himself as a citizen leader and gradually accumulated a strong strength.
AD 36 years ago, the world is in chaos, the world is in chaos, the world is in chaos.
They took advantage of the situation and annexed North Africa, removing Lei Bida's military power.
At this point, the "Alliance of the Three Heads" became a confrontation between Octavian and Anthony.
