Anthony couldn't help but smile bitterly, the two of them must have too much confidence in themselves.

"How can I have such an unpredictable prophetic ability, if I had known that there would be today's changes, and I had urged His Majesty the King to capture both Kochis and Duke Finney, wouldn't it be much easier to worry and effort?"

"That's just as well." General John nodded.

Müller didn't believe it: "No, if you hadn't anticipated the rebellion in the province of Brussels, how could you have asked Lin Zhifeng to remind us not to send too many troops to the rescue, and to leave enough forces to defend Burgundy?" Don't be too modest, brother. ”

It seems that performing too well will also bring some unexpected small troubles, such as making some words and deeds at will, which will be interpreted by others to have seven or ten meanings.

Anthony felt the need for a formal explanation.

"Although the Taranto rebels have retreated, with Frankie's ability, it is expected that some follow-up will be arranged. After the war, the soldiers were tired and always had to rest and reorganize. Whether it's one day or two days or three days, it's unlikely that you can catch up with each other anyway. It is better to wait and see the changes in the situation before making plans, so as not to fall into the enemy's trap in a hurry. ”

Antony, having explained why he had allowed the army to rest in place, turned the conversation to the Burgundian reinforcements.

"The province of Burgundy is located in the heart of a glorious empire, connected to the imperial capital and other major provinces. After the Grand Duke of Mateus's vigorous construction of roads, the transportation conditions have been greatly improved, and it can be used as a central hub for communication. In addition, in the difficult moment when there was a strong enemy invasion and there were traitors in the country, Burgundy could respond to the changes in the situation of the war in various places and send combat forces in a targeted manner, and its strategic position was extremely important. Therefore, whether it is to protect itself or to maintain sufficient strength to deal with other battlefields, Burgundian troops should try not to move or move as little as possible. ”

Anthony spoke eloquently, and Muller and General John nodded their heads in response.

After listening to the young man's explanation, the two of them understood the reasons and intentions of his series of arrangements. Although the mysterious aura of the unpredictable prophet has been removed, the two generals' admiration for Anthony has not diminished because of this, but has become even greater than before.

Unforeseen abilities, or relying on superhuman intuition to perceive the intentions of opponents and make targeted arrangements accordingly, such inhuman abilities will naturally attract all kinds of envy and jealousy.

However, through a detailed analysis and understanding of the situation on both sides of the enemy, making full use of and even taking the initiative to create various favorable conditions, and closely combining the changes in the current situation, so as to make the most reasonable and appropriate arrangements, such command and dispatch are extraordinary in the ordinary, but they are even more sincerely admired.

Considering Antony's previous plan to build roads throughout the empire, it is closely related to Burgundy's geographical location and its role in the war.

Those who are good at fighting have no great feats!

Muller and General John understood the meaning of this sentence very well. It turned out that Anthony's plan had already stepped out of the battlefield.

If it weren't for the teenager's personal explanation, the two things also happened to be lined up, and who knows how many such inconspicuous little things he did. It is impossible to understand how much energy and thought these little things have taken him, and what indispensable role they play in the huge chess game that he has sketched out in his mind.

Mueller was a little younger and more brainy, and he followed Anthony's train of thought, and soon tentatively came up with his own idea.

"Then my brother means to deal with the Brussels army that invaded my Burgundy first?"

In terms of military strength, although Brussels is stronger than Taranto, it is also limited. Burgundy, on the other hand, is more than a star and a half higher than Aberdeen. Even without Müller's Tiger Cavalry, the invading Brussels army would not have been able to bargain for anything.

This is also the reason why Muller can be so calm.

If he follows his proposal, he will turn around and deal with Brussels first while the rebels in Taranto return to the provincial capital to defend with all their might. Combining the strength of the two provinces, and the advantage of fighting at home, it is convenient to destroy the relatively weak Brussels, which is three fingers to take the snail, and nine out of ten are stable.

Anthony thought for a moment, then shook his head.

The proposal was rejected, and Müller was not discouraged and soon came up with another idea.

"Why don't we also make a move to treat others in the way of others? If the old man dares to send someone to my house to find trouble, we will also go to his lair and light a fire to see what he can do against the combined forces of our two major provinces. ”

This time, Anthony didn't even think about it, and directly shook his head and vetoed it.

"Brussels' choice to raise troops to rebel at this point may not be inseparable from Frankie's plan. He just used this trick against us, and he will definitely prevent us from playing this trick on him. It's not a short walk from Burgundy and even further from Brussels. The army drove over in a mighty way, and it couldn't be hidden. Frankie would have received the news unless he was blind and deaf. If he also led Taranto's army to intervene, the situation would turn into a general battle in the four provinces. At this point in time, it is not good for our glorious empire. ”

General John frowned, and also proposed: "Either we take advantage of the victory and pursue and try to beat Taranto to death with a stick first." Then he pulled out his hand and focused on Brussels. Anyway, according to General Müller, it is impossible for Brussels to win the Burgundian army fighting at home for the time being. We can take advantage of this opportunity to go all out and take out Kokis and Frankie. ”

Even if you don't count the old and new feuds between Aberdeen and Taranto, General John is very jealous of Frankie's opponent and wants to get rid of it as soon as possible. For the first time, he personally felt what a great strength improvement a good commander can bring to the troops, and what a deadly threat he can bring to the opponent. If he had the chance, General John would have to kill the famous Riga generals first. lest he continue to make waves, and he doesn't know when he suddenly jumps out and bites himself hard.

Anthony continued to shake his head, as if he was only going to do this today.

"If it weren't for the sudden attack in Brussels, General John's proposal would have been a good idea. With the strength we have now, we should be quite sure of taking Taranto. But if you want to solve it quickly, it is almost impossible. Don't forget, in all the previous engagements between our two sides, the enemy has relied only on hastily erected fortifications in the field. That's it, the opponents are so tough. This time they defended the city, and the difficulty can be imagined. If we are impatient and anxious, not only will we not be able to destroy the enemy quickly, but we will most likely be taken advantage of by the enemy. ”

General John nodded and fell silent.

Mueller's mind was spinning fast, and he was keenly aware of something.

"Listen to what you mean, brother, it seems that you are trying to avoid a full-scale war with the two major provinces?"

Mueller was puzzled.

In the case of a strong enemy from outside, there is no doubt that it will be very disadvantageous to engage in a series of major battles within the empire. But the problem is that now it's not like you can stop fighting if you don't want to. The other party has already led the army to attack the gate of the party, and if he does not fight back, will he surrender on his knees?

Not to mention the Brussels army that hit Burgundy, even Taranto, who has withdrawn to its lair, seems to be on the defensive, but if Frankie finds an opportunity, he may not lead the army back to kill.

In such a situation, avoiding war will not help solve the problem, but will only boost the arrogance of the enemy and demoralize the soldiers of your own side.

"That's right." Anthony nodded, affirming his thoughts, but didn't mean to explain further.

"General Müller, please lead the Tiger Cavalry Regiment back to Burgundy and assist in the defense with all your might. General John, please also lead your troops back to Aberdeen and be on guard against Taranto's raid. In addition, the two generals were also asked to go back and tell the Duke of Mateus and the Duke of Edwards that during this time, they should try to focus on defense as much as possible, and not fight battles that they can. Even if you have to fight, try to control the scale of the battle as much as possible. ”

In his capacity, of course, he is not qualified to dictate and give orders to the rulers of the two major provinces in such a military matter. But the situation was such that he could not remain silent, and only hoped that the two dukes would be open-minded and would listen to his advice.

Mueller looked up suddenly, a look of surprise on his face.

In the two major battlefields of rebellion and rebellion, whether it was the Aberdeen and Tiger Cavalry regiments against Taranto, or Burgundy against Brussels, the side had a clear advantage. Even considering the casualties of the soldiers and the difficulty of carrying out the implementation, we do not pursue a quick victory. But there is no reason to go completely on the defensive and allow this civil war to drag on indefinitely.

Muller is now more and more sure that this miraculous boy must have something on his mind.

"Mr. Anthony, are you going to join us?"

Listening to the young man's explanation, it was obvious that he was going to part ways with the two armies, and General John was immediately anxious.

After being played by Frankie, and seeing him and Anthony in a wonderful battle again, General John's mentality went from bursting with confidence to falling like a dive to a serious lack of self-confidence. Although Anthony's request is mainly defensive, the difficulty of the task can be said to be greatly reduced, but without Anthony's sitting, he is still worried about whether he can handle the scheming French.

"Yes, I have other things to deal with, so I'll leave it to the two generals here."

Anthony, who has only been in command for 3 days, gave up his position again without hesitation.

"Where are you going?" Mueller asked curiously.

He didn't have as many ideas as General John, anyway, it would be better to bring Anthony's words back to the old man at home, how to make decisions was his business, and it was not his turn to worry about it. However, at this time, Anthony left the two main battlefields behind and ran to other places, and the things he had to deal with were certainly not trivial.

Anthony sighed faintly, raised his hand, pointed lightly to the north, and said meaningfully:

"Five of the six major provinces of the empire, both internally and externally, have fallen into a major war, and the fighting is extremely fierce. Only the last one remains, and it's still peaceful! ”
