Do not allow...

impetuosity or desire for glory or competitiveness with your colleagues to force you into a battle.

And you need to recognize how dangerous this guy is.

He will probably defeat you in battle.

But you have to fight him because that's what keeps your allies with you, showing that you fight.

And you've got to slog it out.

And you have to kill as many of the enemy as possible in these slogging battles.

And Roman citizen soldiers, they're not the best soldiers on the planet, but they know how to slog because that's what they do on their farms.

It's what they do in the Republic.

And I would tell them, you have to keep fighting because all you have to do is make him lose enough soldiers, enough Macedonians that they lose the will to fight.

All you have to do...

is to make him lose one or two battles, and that's the end.

And if the fighting gets so intense, go for him.

Go for Alexander.

Bring him in.

Invite him to come in and attack the consul.

If you kill Alexander, it's done.

It's over.

These guys are going to have to flee.

To fight him in only advantageous circumstances, shadow him everywhere he goes, and fight him
