On the other side, Kress and the others were completely intoxicated by the big victory just now. More than 200 people kept screaming and shouting in unison, venting the excitement in their hearts. When in their lives have they enjoyed this kind of riding and whipping? , as if entering a no-man's land, seeing more than 10,000 troops like dung.

In particular, Kress, as the leader of this unit, felt a kind of emotion of raising his eyebrows and being extremely confident. For this operation, he was deployed in full accordance with Jin Zhan's instructions.

All the details are fully done to the extreme, which is for a rough and reckless man like him. It was as uncomfortable as having him fight with an embroidery needle.

But out of deep trust in Jin Zhan, he gritted his teeth and persevered, and completed the whole set of plans without leaking. From the choice of the time of the raid, to the planning of the raid route, the main objectives of the raid, when to evacuate, how to maintain the fitness of the horses, how to get the best effect of the cavalry group sprint, etc., Kress made almost all decisions based on the information obtained, and successfully carried out the assault.

As a result, Kress had to subconsciously make a deep reflection and review of his own behavior. He found that leading his troops in battle was completely different from his wanton fighting in the arena. There are so many battlefield factors to consider, and they can change as conditions change.

As Jin Zhan explained, the cavalry unit of the rebel army is really hard to come by. He now has to protect the lives of every member of this force as the general of this unit.

Under this trend of responsibility, he had to take the initiative to think about a lot of things and take a lot of responsibilities. After comprehensive consideration, he made a relatively reasonable decision-making and deployment, so now he has gradually distanced himself from his original reckless and impulsive self.

The army of Varilius had already left camp by this time. Compared with the vigorous and magnificent military appearance when they came, the morale of the more than 10,000 troops at this time was gone, and almost everyone looked depressed.

What's even more pitiful is that you can't eat a bite of hot rice when you go back and forth in this kind of mountain road. The food was a charred black paste, and it was hard to swallow, and you must know when this pampered army had experienced such a hard experience.

Varilius was also nervous and anxious at this time. Having rarely really participated in leading battles, he now deeply understands the hardships and hardships of his military career. If you are not careful, you will taste the bitter fruit that is difficult to accept.

Therefore, when he retreated this time, he changed his previous lazy and casual style. The military suggestions of his generals and staff officers were widely accepted, and an orderly, strict and reasonable retreat formation was put in place.

The front and rear of the army are guarded by cavalry units, and if the front is surrounded by the opposing side, the cavalry units can be used as a shock team to break through and attack.

And if the rear is pursued by the Ouroboros, it can also be turned by the cavalry unit to break through in the opposite direction. In the middle of the army, Varilius personally led the elite guards in the army to guard the remaining precious grain and grass.

Under this relatively reasonable formation, Varilius felt a sense of security somewhat. And in the army, everyone is in danger because of hunger, and everyone is like an arrow. As a result, this adversity has led to a different unity and efficiency in this army.

On a high ground in the distance, Jin Zhan relied on his powerful perception ability to constantly amplify and correct the vista he saw in his brain. Make it clear what you see about the movements of the Varilius army.

So Jin Zhan said to Spartacus next to him: "This time, our enemy seems to have learned to be obedient and has improved a lot. It doesn't look like we have that many opportunities to take advantage of. Based on Kress's results, I thought we could wipe out this demoralized force. ”

Spartacus glanced at Jin Zhan in confusion and said, "In that case, why do you still have a happy expression on your face?" Isn't our previous deployment going to be empty? ”

"Naturally not, since we have already woven this bamboo basket, as long as we don't fill it with water, we can still have a lot of gains." Jin Zhan once again gave Spartacus the mysterious smile that disgusted the latter.

Spartacus glanced at Jin Zhan angrily and said, "Why do you guys like to play tricks lately?" It's okay for you to fool Cress, why didn't you even fool me, why don't you hurry up and explain your thoughts honestly. ”

"Well, am I not thinking about it? I just saw a little bit of the enemy's movement before you, so I could have a perfect tactical plan in an instant. Old Si, you can't be in too much of a hurry. You see, this guy Kress is slowly becoming more stable now. ”

Spartacus said bitterly: "You guy has assigned such a generous position as a cavalry leader to Kress, and my side is not far from having such good resources." If I don't win a hearty battle as soon as possible, then the brothers in the army will not be so easily convinced of my command. ”

"And you think, now Kress has formed his cavalry force with almost all the Gaolu warriors, and Eligang has formed the main force of your mandarin duck battle formation with a large group of Germanic people. These two powerful forces seem to have nothing to do with me at all, and you let me command them smoothly in the future. ”

Spartacus really didn't treat Jin Zhan as an outsider, and told him all the situations without any worries. Regarding this kind of question, Jin Zhan adjusted his posture and said slowly.

"That's a complicated issue, and it's good that you realized it so early. For this, you first need to understand why they are rallying around you. Is it because you are the most courageous, or do you have a strong personality charm or affinity, or do you have the sharpest planning and advice ability on the battlefield? ”

"Not really! Now, of course, you can't see that. In the future, when this rebel army has its own base area, it will face more and more practical problems. Therefore, the most important thing for you is to be a political leader, far from being a military leader. ”

Spartacus was confused. Due to his lack of experience, he does not understand what a political leader is. And what kind of abilities do you need to become a political leader? Even what politics was, Spartacus did not have a clear idea.

Looking at Spartacus, whose expression was puzzled, Jin Zhan continued to explain.

"The simplest explanation is that you have to form a revolutionary programme with a strong appeal. For example, if you join your army, you will be able to share the land, be exempt from taxes, have their own land for the cultivators, and have their own houses for the homeowners, so that everyone in your army can enjoy the most tangible benefits with you. ”

This easy-to-understand and loud slogan is the key to how much you can win hearts and minds and unite your team. This is the first step, and you have to be the one who puts forward this revolutionary program. ”

"The second point is that military is not a core goal, it is just a means. The ultimate goal is to make life better for those who follow you in rebellion. And to be able to do that, you have to have enough economic capacity. ”

"To put it more colloquially, you can make the whole army eat and drink well through your own operations, and have enough money and food in your hands. You can go to various places for consumption. Therefore, as long as you have these two points, you can rest assured that you will not be suspicious of employing people, and you will not need to use suspicious people. Because of the correct political program and sufficient economic development capacity, all capable people and strong generals will inevitably rally around you. ”

When Jin Zhan explained it again, Spartacus suddenly felt like he had been enlightened. It's just that at this stage, it is limited by its own vision and life experience, and it cannot put this idea into concrete action.

However, Jin Zhan's incisive and simple explanation still made him clearly feel the key to how to be a good team leader, in fact, it is just to let the team members deeply recognize the system they want to create and defend it with their own lives.

At the same time, it is necessary to create richer and better living conditions for all like-minded companions in the team. Imagine if these things are satisfied, who is not willing to follow their birth and death and share the wealth.

After understanding these truths, Spartacus felt suddenly enlightened, as if he had suddenly understood everything. At the same time, his eyes when he looked at Jin Zhan changed dramatically.

Spartacus looked at Jin Zhan with curiosity and said, "I said brother, what kind of complicated and bizarre experience have you had to have so many special abilities." What a developed and powerful civilization you come from in the East? ”

"You don't know how many times you've asked this question, and you don't get tired of it, don't you? Your most important task now is to think carefully about how the revolutionary programme should be customized, as I have just said. This is a key core issue related to the development of the rebel army. ”

Spartacus saw Jin Zhan's serious answer, and he didn't want to say anything more. It seems that the other side really attaches great importance to this so-called revolutionary program. Then you really have to think carefully about a reasonable system that every class and every individual expects.

While Spartacus was thinking, suddenly a figure came out from behind him, and put his hands on their shoulders. This person is really Vero who has disappeared for a long time.

Seeing the appearance of his good brother, Spartacus was naturally overjoyed, and said: "You kid finally appeared, I haven't seen your figure for so long, you missed these two battles." ”

Vero pretended to complain, "Isn't it the person next to you who has ordered me to stay in the temple and prepare things for him?" So much so that I took a group of frail old and weak women and children to drum up these things for him all day long. ”

Jin Zhan was also very happy to see Vero, and said with a smile: "Since Vero has appeared here, then the Varilius troops are probably more auspicious." ”

Spartacus looked at the two of them in disbelief and asked, "What does this mean?" What exactly did Vero buy? Can it make such a huge difference? ”

Although he had already asked, he actually already had a 90% affirmative answer in his heart. After all, Jin Zhan's special abilities have been confirmed by facts again and again, and he has no reason to doubt what he said at all.
