The plan has been decided, William will not allow the two to continue to fight, before formulating a strategy, they can argue and even quarrel with each other, but once William decides something, they must implement it according to his will, and cannot disobey it.

Any vassal nobleman who dared to disobey William's will was punished by him, ranging from being degraded or demoted to a lower title, or deprived of his title and domain, expelled from the country, or imprisoned.

Duke Hubert and Duke Richard both knew William's character very well, that is, he was domineering, so they didn't dare to squeak again after listening to William's words.

William assigned each of Hubert and Richard assignments, with Duke Hubert leading an army south to the Duchy of Upper Lorraine to support the front-line operations, while Duke Richard led his army north to the Duchy of the Netherlands and was responsible for the war in the lower reaches of the right bank of the Rhine.

William sent two famous generals, Hubert and Richard, in order to speed up the course of the war, because the battlefields of Upper Lorraine in the south and the Dutch battlefields in the north had not progressed well these days, and it took too much time.

In order to settle the war, William decided to let Hubert and Richard lead their armies to take over the war.

Hastening the war forced Henry III to make up his mind to surrender and make peace with those who had ambitions to rebel, which William handed over to his Earl of Suffolk, Russell. Morality. Bayol went to execute.

Earl Russell immediately brought his subordinates to William's tent to listen to orders after William ended the war with Denmark and Norway.

As an experienced military intelligence chief, Count Russell played a pivotal role in the wars with Norway and Denmark, and William hoped that he would continue to excel and incite rebellion among the princes of the HRE Empire.

After explaining the clarity to the Earl of Russell, William's chamberlain Walter Jr. Giffard knelt down in front of William and said, "Your Majesty, Roger. Morality. The Earl of Outville came to meet him. ”

"Bring him in at once." William nodded to Earl Russell beside him, ordered him to stand back, and turned to look at Walter Jr.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Little Walter got up and departed, and in a few moments he led the servant Count of Hainaud, Roger. Morality. Ottwell went up to the temple to meet you: "Your Majesty, Count of Hainaut, Roger, has brought it." ”

Little Walter turned and retreated to William's side, and saw Count Roger kneeling on one knee with an ordinary voice, and bowed his head, saying, "Your Majesty, please atone for your sins." ”

"My Lord Roger, do you know what you did wrong?" William glanced at Count Roger, who was kneeling in front of him, and said.

With each word William spoke, Count Roger's lowered head became lower.

"Your Majesty, the minister kept following your arrangement, after cutting off the grain and grass logistics of the HRE army, he privately led the cavalry to attack Nassau, the capital of the HRE Empire. Count Roger knew that his explanation was useless, so he simply pleaded guilty.

"It turns out that you still remember what I told you at the beginning, how I told you at that time, you must not go alone without permission, complete the blockade of the grain route of the HRE army, and cut off the logistics, but how did you do it?

Fighting privately, ignoring the threat of the enemy, breaking away from the cover of the fleet, and actually attacking Nassau, the capital of the HRE Empire, you are joking with the lives of the knights! William slapped the table with his right hand, and the snap startled Count Roger, and he didn't dare to say another word.

"Thirty-two, thirty-two respectable Norman knights, whose lives have been needlessly lost to the city of Nassau!

But what did you bring me back? Is it you who are disgraced, or is it the exhausted cavalry? William asked one after another with a straight face.

"Your Majesty, the minister is guilty, please punish him." Count Roger hung his head and said earnestly.

"Well, since you confess your sins sincerely, I will spare you......" William nodded slightly.

When Count Roger heard this, he thought that William would let it go lightly like last time, and he would not be punished, so he raised his head and looked at William with a look of surprise, who knew that William's words made him stunned directly on the spot.

"Roger, I take back your title of Count of Hainaut, transfer you to the Barony of Namur in the Bishopric of Liège, and canonize you as Viscount of Namur.

Of course, in view of your previous merits, I will give you a chance to atone for your sins, and if you have done well in the war that has been resolved, the title and domain of the Count of Hainaut will be given back to you.

Can you be convinced of my disposition of you? William looked at Roger solemnly and declared.

Count Roger, no, it was Viscount Namur Roger who just wanted to refute, but seeing William's undoubted look, the words that were about to be said were immediately swallowed back by him.

"Your Majesty, submit to your heart and dare not have any complaints." Viscount Roger was convinced, and kowtowed.

"Go down, Viscount Roger." William waved Viscount Roger to step down.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Viscount Roger wiped the sweat from his forehead, got up and left the hall respectfully.

Next, William met with several noble generals, and dealt with a number of important military affairs one after another, which can be described as very busy.

It is not easy to lead an army of sixty or seventy thousand, not only the tactical strategy and little William worries, but also the supply of the army, the coordination of the relationship between the noble generals, the arrangement of rewards and punishments, and other matters must be decided by William himself.

However, William did not feel that this was a hard job, but enjoyed it, because the decision-making power of each matter was a kind of military power, not only the command and transfer power of the army, but also the right to appoint personnel, financial power, and military judicial power, etc., which are all important parts of military power.

It is precisely because William has many powers and decision-making powers in his hands that he can firmly control the army, so that those arrogant and domineering Norman noble generals dare not be presumptuous.

The Duke of Hubert and the Duke of Richard made rapid progress, and after arriving at their respective battlefields, it took only a few days for them to break through the enemy's defenses and capture the capitals of the Duchies of Lower Lorraine and Holland.

Immediately, the two led their armies to sweep through Metz, Santuis, Bar, Palazzo and the Netherlands in the Duchy of Upper Lorraine and West Friesland, Utrecht, Girrear, Nijmegen and Friesland in Lower Lorraine.

Hubert and Richard made rapid progress, but Count Russell made even faster progress, and at this time, the princes within the HRE Empire had begun to launch a rebellion against Emperor Henry III and the Sallian royal family, and Henry III was overwhelmed.

Seeing that his Duchy of Bavaria was about to be divided between the Dukes of Swabia, the Dukes of Bohemia, the Dukes of Carinthia, and the Austrian vassals, he was trapped in the family territory of the Duchy of Franconia because he did not have enough troops in his hands.

In desperation, Henry III had no choice but to hang his proud head and send a peace envoy to William to negotiate peace.
