Question: Why did Julius Caesar cross the Rubicon? Why did he stop fighting when his murderers were…?

…trying to kill him?
Not a fan of Wikipedia. I like your knowledge.

Answer: Caesar was coming off 10 years as a proconsul in Gaul where he was immune from prosecution as long as he held his proconsular imperium. His enemies in Rome were planning to prosecute him for alleged (and in large part real) illegalities prior to going to Gaul and for grossly overstepping his authority while in Gaul. His options were to lay down his imperium and get buried by his enemies in Rome or to march on Rome with his troops and take the place over. He chose the latter, and not without precedent, Sulla having done much the same a couple of decades earlier.

The story of his assassination is mostly myth and legend but “stopped fighting” isn’t exactly correct. The custom of Romans was to not allow your face to be visible to your enemies as you died in battle or, as here, while being assassinated. It had a long history. Once you knew it was hopeless you drew your toga over your face so your enemies couldn’t see your agony and “death face”.
