The system has to be used even if it is pulled

Everything went smoothly. After Zhao Yuanlang accepted the surrender of the rebels, the entire army had more than 1200 people. As for the rebels who besieged Rome, they had long been taken away by the Senate, and there was no intention of giving Zhao Yuanlang any soup.

However, Zhao Yuanlang refused to leave Velletri, and the Senate had no good excuse or solution, so it could only declare Zhao Yuanlang as the garrison commander of Velletri.

Zhao Yuanlang still hoped that Rome would have a few more civil wars, because it was too easy to get heads. One commander, nine centurions! What a good harvest! It seemed right to always kill the commander.

......

In the city of Salerno, Silanus, as the governor, was indeed capable. He arranged everything in an orderly manner, recruited soldiers, and prepared for war. After the rebels were completely destroyed, he happily drank some wine.

However, good news soon came that an uprising had occurred in Malveton.

Silanus was a cautious man. After investigating the situation, he sent out his soldiers and marched towards Malveton in the dark.

It was bad luck for the Samnites. The Gallic legions, who were their allies, burned, killed and looted in Malvidum without any discipline. The Samnite commander even condoned their behavior. The barbarian Gauls turned Malvidum upside down.

The Lucanians, who were already unable to bear the situation, suddenly exploded and sent messengers to contact Silanus. However, there were always some people who were stupid and some nobles launched an uprising in advance. Although they successfully killed many Samnites and Gallic soldiers, the uprising still failed. After many Lucanian nobles were killed, the Samnites massacred the Lucanians.

This further aroused the bloodiness of the Lucanians, and many Lucanians fled Malveton and hid in the mountains, occasionally coming out to rob the Samnites' supply lines.

The entire Malveton declined rapidly due to population decline, economy, labor force, and productivity, and was no longer able to support the stationing of two legions here.

The end result was that the Samnites had to abandon the town, leaving only a small garrison.

It was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. When Silanus led his army to arrive, he easily occupied the entire city.

When the news of the victory reached Rome, the Senate was overjoyed, believing it was a sign that the Samnites could be defeated.

However, the Samnites and their allies stationed two legions at the crossroads between the Samnite region and the Magna Graecia region, not only blocking the Romans' attack route, but also occupying the only route leading to the Magna Graecia region.

After all, the Samnites still had territory in Magna Graecia, and thanks to trade with Greece, the profits they made were quite optimistic.

The Samnites believed that as long as they defended this road, Rome would never be able to defeat them, and in the end, Rome would fail.

Obviously, most people in the Senate are not stupid. They also know how hateful these two legions are and they must break the situation.

Zhao Yuanlang then received a new transfer order and went to Malvidon to assist Silanus in destroying two enemy legions.

After the civil war, Rome was peaceful. After taking control of Latin and Campania, Rome became more confident. After recuperating, Rome began to increase its troops. Zhao Yuanlang's team expanded further. The Senate actually sent two trebuchet units, three cavalry units, and three teams of Roman adult soldiers.

A good sign! The half-staffed army has further strengthened its strength.

......

Zhao Yuanlang couldn't help but feel a sense of pride as he watched the troops marching in formation, because they were still on Roman territory and supplies along the way would not be a problem.

In the city of Malveton, some Roman soldiers were very happy to see the soldiers led by Zhao Yuanlang. When they saw the giant beast under Zhao Yuanlang's crotch, everyone thought about Zhao Yuanlang's name and looked at Zhao Yuanlang in awe as he walked towards the ruling hall.

"long time no see!"

"long time no see!"

Silanus and Zhao Yuanlang hugged and greeted each other, and then began to discuss how to defeat the Samnites.

......

There is no way, no way at all. The two sides have been confronting each other here for more than a year. There have been no major wars, but small wars every day.

Rome was at a loss as to what to do. Not only the Samnites were worried, but the two sides had so many people stationed here. The cost of food, horses, equipment maintenance, and long-term military supplies had brought huge losses to both sides.

Now this battle has really become a battle of consumption, economy, and food.

The Samnites were better off, after all, there were Greek city-states to the south, and the two sides traded. But Rome was not. From Campania to the south, the Samnites occupied Pyxus, which had a full navy stationed there. Later, they sent in half a legion of navy. A half-full navy firmly controlled the sea defense line to Greece, while Rome only had a full navy and could not break through.

It is estimated that if it drags on for a while longer, Rome's economy will collapse, the people will be dissatisfied, and under the instigation of ambitious people, a new round of civil war will probably break out.

However, the war began to change because a letter from the Greek envoy changed the direction of the entire battlefield.

The Greek alliance in Magna Graecia actually felt that the Samnites had become somewhat powerful and threatened their rule. Moreover, the Samnites also occupied the fertile territory of Magna Graecia that should have belonged to the Greeks, which made the Greeks very dissatisfied.

A letter of alliance was secretly sent to the Senate. Greece would confuse the Samnites and form a false alliance. They would send troops from Croton to defeat the Samnites stationed in Pyxus together with Rome. They would also send troops to attack the two legions stationed at the border between Magna Graecia and Samnite. After the war, the Pyxus area must belong to Greece. The two sides happily reached an agreement.

In the end, Zhao Yuanlang quietly evacuated Malveton, returned to Salerno, and then boarded a warship to Picus.

Sure enough, Greece sent a letter to the Samnites, which roughly meant that Greece hoped to unite with Samon, and then send troops from Croton to attack Rome together and divide Rome.

The poor Samnites actually believed what the Greeks said and were very happy.

......

In late autumn, the sea was covered with thick fog. Samnite patrol ships were patrolling the sea. No one knew when Rome would launch an attack, although Rome might not necessarily attack Pyxus.

Their main task today is to wait on the sea for the incoming Greek reinforcements and lead them into the port.

The sea breeze blew, and the fog began to dissipate gradually. One warship after another appeared in the patrol ship's field of vision. Fortunately, they all flew the Greek flag, and then began to lead the Greek warships in the distance to prepare to enter the port.

The Samnites never imagined that the purpose of these Greeks was to attack the harbor directly, from the inside out, and join forces with the Romans to occupy the entire Pythias, which was nothing more than inviting a wolf into the house.

Zhao Yuanlang and his half-army had already landed on a beach 20 miles away from Picasso and were marching towards Picasso in an orderly manner.

The fog dissipated, and all the Samnites in Pyxus were stationed on the city walls, watching the Roman army building siege weapons outside the city.

The Samnite commander couldn't understand why the Romans had the courage to attack Pyxus. Did they know that Greece had formed an alliance with them?

Fortunately for the Samnite commander, the Greek warships had entered the port earlier and were not discovered by the Romans. He also cleverly arranged the Greek allies in the harbor and asked them not to join the battle but to watch how the Samnites bravely destroyed the Romans.

Zhao Yuanlang rode on Nemian, watching the busy Samnites from a high hill, and laughed at the stupid Samnite commander with disdain in his heart.
