Roman Slave Owner

Chapter 295 Entering Jerusalem

In the endless desert, a huge Roman army is returning to Syria, and Arab slaves are walking in the army dejectedly.

After more than two months of raids, Li Wei easily broke through those Arab countries and emirates, and some Arabs fled to deeper deserts.

However, out of caution in the desert, Li Wei did not lead his troops to pursue, but decided to return to Syria.

"Are you really not going back? I don't think there's anything wrong."

Caesar said.

"No, there is still a little matter to deal with, you and Luculus go back first."

Li Wei said with a smile.

Li Wei's uncle Kota died of illness, and Aurelia wrote to let him go back to take over the position of priest.

Although the status of a priest is not very high, it is a good position for young people before the age of 30, so he is very excited.

"Well then, I'll hurry back tomorrow, or I won't be able to register in time."

Luculus said.

"I have informed Serapio and them, and they will fully cooperate with you."

Levi said.

"Thank you."

Luculus said sincerely.

He all knew how important Li Wei's support was, especially at this moment of successive victories, Li Wei's reputation in Rome was unrivaled.

As long as he speaks out to support a certain person, that person can get a great support rate.

Caesar and Lucullus left the next day, and Livi sent a cavalry escort for them.

There is a lot of chaos around here, so you still need to be careful about your safety.

Then he led the army to Syria, but as soon as he arrived in Syria, he found a team waiting for him in front of the army.

Seeing the Roman army, those people came up to each other arguing, and some even cursed at each other.

After some Roman cavalrymen asked their purpose, they let them come to see Li Wei.

Levi glanced at them, and found that there were not only Sicanus, John, the leader of the Pharisees, but also a strange tall and thin Jew.

They glared at each other like they wanted to kill each other.

As soon as he saw Li Wei, Sicanus wailed: "General Li Wei, you have to make the decision for me. My brother is so bold that he disobeyed your order and led the army to attack me. Since I sincerely I believed your order and didn't take precautions, but in the end, that despicable person succeeded."

"Oh, he dared to refuse my order, you tell me the whole thing."

Li Wei pretended to be angry, but in fact he was overjoyed.

Sure enough, Aristoblus beat his brother Sicanus away, and he finally found a reason to do it.

"It's definitely not like this. They attacked my king first, and my king was forced to fight back."

At this time, the tall and thin Jew with a very thin mouth said that his face was very pale and he looked like a vampire.

But this may also be another reason, that is, to live strictly according to the religious rules.

Because the Jews have all kinds of commandments, you can't eat this, you can't eat that. In history, some people in the Rothschild family planned to live strictly according to the religious rules, and they turned into this ghost.

"You're lying! Don't believe him!"

Sicanus said angrily.

"Who are you?"

Levi asked.

"Peter, a Sadducee priest, messenger of Aristoblus."

The pale Jew said, "My king said that as long as the general cannify him as the king of the Jews, he is willing to offer 500 beauties and 2,000 talents to the general."

Don't think how unyielding and united the Jews were in history. In history, Jews often knelt and licked against powerful countries.

For example, in history, the Parthians once invaded Syria, so the king of the Jews at that time proposed to offer 500 beauties and a lot of money in exchange for Parthia's recognition that he ruled Jerusalem.

And don't regard the Jews as white lotuses. In history, some Jewish priests asked the Jewish king more than once to slaughter the pagans in the territory out of fanatical religious beliefs.

But there were powerful enemies outside Judea, and in the end the king of Judea did not agree to this cruel order.

"General, you must not promise him, he violated your order."

Sicanus was in a hurry. If Li Wei agreed to him, then he would be completely finished.

"As long as you are willing to canonize me as the king of the Jews, I am willing to offer double the beauties and money."

Sicanus said.

"No matter how much he gives, we are willing to give him 20% more."

Peter said.

"As long as the general wants me to be the king of the Jews, the conditions are up to you."

Sicanus is going all out.

"So do we."

said Peter nonchalantly.

Looking at the two guys who were vying to betray their country, Li Wei showed a faint smile on his face.

In fact, Aristoblus had secretly proposed this condition long ago, but he did not agree, because he knew that he would never agree to the division of Palestine into a Roman province.

"Dear General, you must eradicate the devil Aristobulus. He killed many priests of the Pharisees. He is not worthy to be the king of the Jews."

John said excitedly.

"You're right. He really shouldn't be the King of the Jews. It's a crime to disobey my orders."

Levi said.

Peter's face changed drastically, but Sicanus was overjoyed.

"This is really great. Are you planning to send troops to Jerusalem?"

"Yes, I will send troops to Jerusalem after the army rests for a while."

Li Wei said with a smile.

"General, absolutely not, my king is willing to submit to Rome!"

said Peter earnestly.

"If he doesn't take my words to heart, he will have to pay the price in blood."

Levi said.

"Then who do you think should be king of the Jews?"

said John, with a look of eagerness in his eyes.

"Of course it's me."

Sicanus gave him a dissatisfied look. This guy still wants to overthrow the rule of their Maccabees.

"I don't think the Maccabees are really fit to be rulers of the Jews."

Levi said.

John couldn't help being overjoyed, but Sicanus turned pale with fright.

"General, you can't do this. My brother did make a mistake, but it has nothing to do with me. Our Maccabee family has made great contributions to the Jews, and we have led the Jews to resist the evil rule of Antioch."

Sicanus said excitedly.

"Take him down, don't abuse him, just treat him as my guest."

Li Wei said that he was too lazy to talk nonsense to him, he was just a prisoner, and had no use other than to add glory to himself by walking on the triumphal ceremony.

"General! General! You can't do this..."

Sicanus was led away screaming.

"Dear General, I know a few devout Pharisees. They all have the noble lineage of King David. I don't know if one of them can be elected as the King of the Jews."

John said excitedly.
