Caesar listened to the debate between the two and asked, "How many of Pompey's soldiers have surrendered to us?"
"There are more than twenty thousand infantry, including the First Legion and the 15th Legion (previously reassigned from Caesar's command by the Senate and later merged into Pompey's army), but only more than 300 cavalry," Antony replied.
Caesar pondered briefly and said in a deep voice, "Antony, you lead the Ninth, 10th Legion and these more than twenty thousand surrendered troops, and quickly go to capture Dyrrachium! I believe that once the news of our victory in this war reaches there, the enemy will certainly have no heart to hold their ground. You should be able to successfully capture Pompey's camp and rescue your poor brother along the way."
That last remark made Antony feel a bit embarrassed, and he cursed inwardly.
