How did Caesar escape from sylla's soldiers?

Caesar did not actually have to escape Sulla's soldiers. Sulla stripped him of the priesthood he was holding, his inheritance and his wife's dowry. He also wanted him to divorce his wife, but he refused. His mother's family, which included supporters of Sulla, persuaded Sulla not to pursue this. However, Caesar still did not feel safe because he belonged to the political faction opposed to Sulla and left Rome. He went to Greece and joined the army there.


How did Sulla turn what he had learned from Marius against him?

What Sulla learned from Gaius Marius were military skills. Sulla served under Marius' generalship during his early military career. Sulla later turned against Marius and fought a civil war (Sulla's first civil war, 88-87 BC) against him and one (Sulla's second civil war, 82-81 BC) against Marius' supporters after Marius' death. Sulla was victorious partly due to loyalty of his legions and partly because he was a great general. Sulla's conflicts with Marius were due partly to personal rivalry and partly to political differences. In 88 BC Sulla was given the command for the First Mithridatic War, but Marius fancied commanding the troops in this war and plotted to have this command transferred to himself. Sulla marched on Rome with his troops, secured his command and left for the front of the war. Sulla belonged to the optimates, a conservative political faction which supported tradition and the interests of the aristocracy. Marius belonged to the populares, a political faction which supported reform in favour of the plight of the poor and opposed the optimantes. Marius used the support of the Populares to plot against Sulla and pursued policies which Sulla strongly opposed.

Sulla retired from active political life and spent his last years in his villa. He died of natural causes in 78 BC/BCE.

Julius Caesar was not actually banished. He chose to leave Rome because he felt unsafe when Sulla won his civil war against Marius.

Sulla belonged to the opposing faction, the optimates, who were conservatives and supported the interests of the aristocracy. In 82 BC, when Sulla won the war he had thousands of opposition politicians executed and confiscated their properties. Julius Caesar was stripped of his inheritance, his wife's dowry and his priesthood. He refused to obey an order to divorce Cornelia and went into hiding. Caesar left Rome and joined the army in Greece. When Sulla died in 78 BC he felt safe enough to return to Rome. He was broke because he had been stripped of his inheritance and became a lawyer public prosecutor and became famous for prosecuting former governors for corruption.
