I have three hundred soldiers, all of whom can warm wine and kill Hua Xiong

Severus died at the height of his glory.

With the support of the commander of the Guards, Caracalla announced the death of Severus and quickly won over the Senate.

It was already the next day when Geta got the news.

"It must be the commanders of the Caracalla United Guards who killed my father. They were treason and usurping the throne. Those losers in the Senate, how could they support a usurper."

Geta became angry and yelled at his men.

He really didn't expect that just after he fell asleep, the world would completely change.

Originally, Geta could compete with Caracalla, but unexpectedly, just one night later, Caracalla had already completely gained the upper hand.

"Gather all the soldiers and horses immediately, we will fight Caracalla."

After hearing Geta's words, a general stood up and said loudly: "Legion Commander, Caracalla has a legion in his hands, plus the Guards has probably been bribed by him, and there is also the First Legion for unknown reasons. , there is a high probability that he has also taken advantage of it. It is definitely not a wise thing for us to fight against Caracalla at this time."

"Yes, we are completely at a disadvantage now. If we try our best to find Caracalla at this time, we will only break ourselves into pieces."

"Caracalla must have a conspiracy waiting for us."

Geta frowned and glanced at his men, "Then what do you think I should do now? Do I need to compromise with Caracalla?"

"My dearest brother, I know him best. He doesn't show any mercy when doing things. Even if I choose to compromise, all of us will die in his hands in the end."

"Legion Commander, we can choose to break out and leave the city of Rome."

"As long as we successfully leave the city of Rome, we will announce to the world Caracalla's murder of the emperor. There will definitely be many people willing to follow the legion commander to avenge His Majesty."

Geta walked around in circles a few times with his hands behind his back.

Geta had no evidence that Caracalla murdered Severus.

But sometimes you don’t need evidence to do things.

Rome has no shortage of ambitious people, and everyone wants to sit on the emperor's throne.

If Caracalla ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, many people would be willing to unseat Caracalla.

Therefore, if Geta raises its arms in the future, there will definitely be people willing to respond to Geta's call.

Thinking of this, Geta finally made the decision and said: "Well, just do as you said. Malachis, you are responsible for leading the people to accompany me to attack the north gate of Rome. While Caracalla is proud now, we Use the fastest speed to get out of Rome."

Caracalla also knew Geta quite well.

In Caracalla's impression, Geta was a person who had no independent opinions and liked to procrastinate in doing things.

It was precisely because of this that Geta and Caracalla entered the city of Rome together.

Geta did not win over the Guards commander earlier than Caracalla.

"After Geta knows the news about my father's accident, he will definitely be in chaos. After the chaos, he will be hesitant. So we have time to wait for all the troops and horses to be in place before launching an attack on Geta. This way By doing so, we can ensure that Geta doesn’t even have a chance to make a comeback.”

After hearing Caracalla's words, the commander of the Praetorian Guards quickly took a step forward and whispered: "What if Geta chooses to lead his troops to break out and leave the city of Rome? In order to avoid trouble, I suggest not to wait for the First Legion. Your people, Together with my men, it’s enough to take down Geta.”

Caracalla waved his hand towards the Guards Commander.

"No one knows Geta better than me. I can guarantee that Geta will not leave Rome on his own initiative."

"Geta will not just watch me ascend the throne and become the emperor of Rome. As long as there is a slight chance, Geta will continue to fight for it."

"Besides, we don't wait for the First Legion. What if we suffer too many casualties during the suppression of Geta, and the First Legion has other ideas? What should we do?"

The commander of the Guards still wanted to speak, but saw a messenger hurriedly walked in from the door.

"The northern city gate of Rome has just been attacked. Getta led the Third Legion to break through and leave the city of Rome. Now more than [-] people from the Third Legion have gone north."

As soon as the messenger finished speaking, the commander of the Guards immediately took a step forward and reached out to grab the other party's collar.

"Say what you just said again!"

The messenger glanced at the excited Guards officer, and then whispered: "Geta has led more than [-] men of the Third Legion to break through and leave the city of Rome."

Pushing the messenger to the ground, the Guards officer looked at Caracalla again and said angrily: "Are you sure you really know about Geta?"

Caracalla heard the words of the Guards Commander and replied in a cold tone: "I am also a human being, I am not a god. It is normal for my judgment to be wrong. But we don't need to worry too much, Geta only has the third Three Legions, when I become the Emperor of Rome, I can easily crush him to death."

The commander of the Guards took a deep look at Caracalla and couldn't help but let out a sigh in his heart.

I feel that I have told the Guards Commander that Caracalla is definitely not as good as his father Severus.

Thinking of this, the Guards commander suddenly had some other thoughts in his mind.

Caracalla succeeded in becoming Roman emperor by killing his father.

But not long after taking office, Caracalla felt heavy pressure on this throne.

The pressure comes most from three directions.

First, Rome's internal finances had almost collapsed.

The gold, silver, money and food in the treasury could only sustain the expenses of the Roman army for up to three months.

And everything in Rome was broken to the core.

Corruption and bribery are rampant.

The taxes collected from various places simply cannot be collected into the hands of Caracalla.

Only then did Caracalla understand why Severus wanted to reorganize the legion.

Severus wanted to form a new legion, while maintaining his rule, and at the same time drastically eliminate various shortcomings faced by Rome.

It's a pity that Severus' big plan died before it could be implemented.

Second, the plague became more and more serious and spread rapidly throughout Rome.

Not to mention other places, nearly [-] people have died in the city of Rome alone.

Fear has completely enveloped the whole of Rome.

Third, the multinational coalition led by the Chinese army raided Asia Minor and easily occupied the entire Asia Minor.

At this time, Kang Maode also stood up with the support of Wei Chu.

Officially declared the founding of Eastern Rome.

The division of Rome into East and West Rome was a foregone conclusion.
