After Xu Shu got the news, he immediately summoned the slave leaders to formulate a strategy.

When everyone heard that the Roman emperor had been blown to death by the big man, they were immediately excited.

"Dear sir, the meaning of our existence is to kill the Roman dog! The big man killed the dog emperor, which makes people happy."

"There is hardly anything more inspiring than hearing the news that the Roman Dog Emperor has been killed."

"From now on, my life, Spartacus, belongs to the big man."

"Brother Allegon of the Rhine is also willing to join the big man!"

On the night of the riots in Batiatus, Erikon's younger brother Durer was almost killed by the Romans. It was Xu Shu who killed several Romans and rescued Durer.

This also allowed everyone to see Xu Shu's strength.

They were really surprised that a well-mannered Han gentleman possessed the fighting power of a first-class gladiator.

Therefore, Aili Gang, one of the leaders of the rebel army, became Xu Shu's loyal supporter.

The two core leaders, Spartacus and Kress, have already recognized Xu Shu as their master.

In addition, there are Black Coach and Gannix, two fierce generals whose combat power is infinitely close to unparalleled. Because of Xu Shu's enlightenment, the previous suspicions were resolved, and thus they were completely devoted to Xu Shu.

"Everyone!"

Xu Shu came in front of the crowd and pressed his hand.

"Thanks to our efforts, the Romans changed the slave system. It is a good thing for some slaves, because they have a chance to regain their freedom."

"But for the vast majority of slaves and us, it could be a nightmare."

Everyone fell silent after hearing the words. They had already heard about the policy of the new Emperor Caracalla launching the slave army.

In particular, many gladiators and condemned prisoners were recruited.

They are very clear about the fighting power of gladiators. Once they join the ranks of Rome, it will greatly hinder their uprising!

"Master, your wisdom is even inferior to Minerva's, please show us the way!" Kress, a muscular man, had absolute trust in Xu Shu.

Whatever Xu Shu asked him to do, he would do it, and he never missed it!

Others also looked at Xu Shu, waiting for instructions!

Xu Shu took out a map, and the corner of his mouth showed a signature relaxed arc,

"By God's favor, there is indeed an opportunity in front of us right now!"

……

Chapter 537 Leading the snake out of the hole, Xu Shu's ingenious plan

What Xu Shu took out was the map of Capua and its surroundings.

At present, they have liberated many slaves around Capua, and even the port of Naples was captured by them, and many prisoners of war were rescued.

These days, Onomamos trained the slaves in fighting skills, and Xu Shu taught them combat experience and combat formations, as well as the discipline of the army!

The combat effectiveness of the army has improved a lot.

The important thing is that successive successes have greatly increased their confidence.

"Let's see, there are three Roman forces in front of us now."

Xu Shu spread out the map, and the core members present gathered around,

"The first to bear the brunt is Grebo stationed in Capua. He annexed the sheriff's team. Now there are more than 3000 people. He is a force that cannot be underestimated. Then there is the Campania consul in the south of us. He has A regular army, 5000 people! There are pirates in the west, and although there are less than 1000 people in Samnim in the east, it is of little significance to our smuggling strategy.”

Looking at the map, Spartacus analyzed.

He is not only superb in martial arts, but also has superior war leadership and analysis capabilities than others, and he can be regarded as a handsome talent.

However, in terms of strategy, he is still much worse than Xu Shu.

"Master, is the chance you're talking about Grab of Capua?"

Spartacus looked at Xu Shu,

In his dreams, he wanted to kill Graber for revenge.

Because all the pain he suffered was brought to him by that bastard, Graber.

Xu Shu knew about his quarrel with Graber, but now is not the time for revenge.

"Spartacus, hatred will blind our eyes and make us lose the ability to judge correctly. As an excellent commander, you must learn to let go of your personal emotions and judge the situation on the battlefield rationally. Only in this way can you preserve your own Safety, and the lives of our soldiers!"

It is not difficult to hear from this sentence that Xu Shu has high hopes for Spartacus.

Sura also comforted, "Remember the master's words, it works better than gods."

"No matter what happened in the past, the most important thing is that we are together now. Think about it differently, if Graber hadn't separated us, how could we have met our master?"

Spartacus lowered his head in shame, "Sorry, master."

However, Kress, who watched for a long time, was full of doubts and said, "Master, I think what Spartacus said makes sense. Judging from the current situation, attacking Graber is the best choice."

"Capua's confidence has been destroyed by us. The Roman dogs in the city will tremble with fright as long as they hear our voice. Although Grebo has 3000 people, he is in a state of isolation and help. We only need a little Wear them down a little bit, and they will be wiped out in a short time!"

It has to be said that Kress has improved a lot in the past two months with Xu Shu.

But only the superficial things can be seen.

Xu Shu pointed at the map again and shook his head, "We have attacked Capua many times, and Grebo's team is also like a frightened bird. They are always cautious and well-defended. Although we have a large number of people, we lack equipment. Fighting consumption is of course Energy consumption kills Graber, but it's also fatal to us."

"Moreover, Campania will definitely send troops to help. When the time comes, we will be in a state of being attacked from both sides, and we will not be far from extinction."

The rapid development of the rebel army has advantages and disadvantages.

The good thing is that there is a lot of momentum, and more and more slaves want to join their uprising army.

The disadvantage is that the vast majority of slaves have no combat effectiveness, and many of them are old and weak women and children.They will not only affect the discipline of the team, slow down the speed of the team, but also increase food consumption.It also has a great impact on the combat effectiveness of the army.

Moreover, Rome's control over weapons is very strict, and they are seriously short of weapons and equipment.

If they confronted Graber head-on at this moment, even if they had a two or three times advantage in numbers, they might not be able to win.

Xu Shu's words made Kress lower his head.

"Master, why did you conclude that Campania would send troops to help Grebo? As far as I know, the governor of Campania has a feud with Grabe, and he can't wait to kill Grabe." Ganix suddenly questioned road.

He and Onomamos also called Xu Shu the master.

of course,

Their identities are no longer slaves, but Xu Shu's domestic servants!

Xu Shu wanted to abolish slavery, so naturally he would not contradict his words and deeds.

There is an essential difference between domestic servants and slaves.

Xu Shu sneered, "He just wants to kill Graber."

"Hesius, the consul of Campania, supports Caracalla, but Graber is a speculator and has not yet determined his position. Therefore, Hesius will definitely seize this opportunity and lend our hands Kill Graber, and then kill us."

"In this way, he can go to Caracalla to ask for credit with two credits."

When everyone heard it, it was indeed a trick!

If it were them, they would definitely do the same.

"So, we can't deal with Grebo right now, but we have to lure Hesius out of the hole, and then take Campania in one fell swoop! There are food supplies, weapons and equipment we need, and thousands of slaves!"

The opportunity that Xu Shu mentioned is exactly Hesius' ambition and Graber's hesitation!

Just do what you say,

Everyone admired and obeyed Xu Shu's strategy.

Under Xu Shu's arrangement, Spartacus led an army to surround Grebo, making a gesture of desperately fighting Grabe.

Then deliberately leaked the news to Campania.

Grebo had already suffered losses several times, so he didn't dare to confront the rebels head-on.He just defended tightly and didn't dare to attack.

When Hesius heard the news, he immediately assembled an army and marched towards Capua.

Because Spartacus was going to fight Graber, he also brought almost all his troops.

Just after he left the city, the rebel army quietly marched towards Campania under the leadership of Kress and Ganix.Leaving Spartacus to lead hundreds of elites, continue to create momentum.

Hesius soon came behind Spartacus,

Although he used the guise of rescuing Capua, he did not attack the rebels.Just use the iron wall tactics to approach the rebels bit by bit.

He wanted to compress the rebel army's space and force the rebel army to attack Graber.The purpose is to let the Rebel Army and Graber fight to the detriment of both sides, so that he can reap the benefits of the fisherman.

However, when he approached the camp of the rebel army, he found that there was no one in the camp.

At this time, Campania had been captured by Xu Shu, and Spartacus broke through immediately after getting the news.

Because they were few and all elite, they easily broke through the defense of Hesius and marched towards Campania quickly.

Seeing the direction in which the rebel army fled, Hesius realized that he had been fooled, and hurriedly led the army to chase after him.

……

Chapter 538 Taking Campania

Although Campania is not as commercially developed as Capua, it is a foundry city!

The number of blacksmiths here is three to four times that of Capua, and the weapon reserves it has are naturally much larger than Capua.

After Xu Shu led Kress and others to easily capture this unguarded empty city, they naturally obtained iron resources and ready-made weapons.

Also, confiscate all the weapons of the citizens of Campania and liberate the slaves in the city.

At this moment, more than half of the rebels are equipped with weapons.

The combat ability has been greatly improved!

"Master, your wisdom has opened our eyes!"

"Without your guidance, we would never have thought of attacking Campania."

Xu Shu's success once again increased everyone's confidence.
