The contradiction between Exaca's Third Legion and Iker's Iberian Legion boiled down to a certain degree of hatred for Exaca by Joan of Arc's old forces; The real reason is still Exsaka.

However, Exsaka had no intention of entanglement with the two thousand old tribes of Joan of Arc; After the conflict was crushed, Exaca ordered his Third Legion to evacuate the barracks, leaving the built barracks to the Iberian Legion.

The officers and men of the Third Army Corps, who had withdrawn from the barracks, rebuilt another temporary barracks five hundred meters from this barracks to serve as the barracks of the Third Corps; Such an arrangement can be regarded as a concession by Exsaka to Joan of Arc's old ministry.

It's a pity that Joan of Arc's 2,000 old men didn't intend to receive this love from Exaka; They lived in the barracks of the Third Legion in Exhaca, but they were still swearing at Exaca and his Third Legion five hundred meters away to show their dissatisfaction.

Regarding the previous contradictions between the two legions, Botracott did not take it to heart; After all, the army in the entire western border region is nothing more than a feint to cover the army in the southern border area, and it is not really the main army.

From the moment Charles VII decided to unite with the Roman powers, the Duke of Beautrecott and the Duke of Dinoy knew that Charles VII wanted to recover the province of Betica by force; The two have different views on the ambition of Charles VII.

The Duke of Dinoy believed that the strength of the House of Augustus had been proved by the defeat of Hannibal, and that the Kingdom of Spain did not have the strength to provoke the House of Augustus at all; Even if you win a short time now, you won't be able to win the final victory.

For the Kingdom of Spain, even if it occupies the province of Betica, so what? The Augustus family, who could not quench their thirst far from water, could not send a large army in a short time to fight the Spanish kingdom at home for the province of Betica.

But does this mean that the Kingdom of Spain can rest easy? From the moment Hannibal was defeated and died, the rise of the House of Augustus in the Western Mediterranean was no longer unshakeable, and the Kingdom of Spain clearly did not have this strength.

The loss of the province of Betica was not a devastating loss for the Augustus family, who had already acquired all of Sicily; As long as the Augustus family develops for a few years, they will soon accumulate even greater strength.

When that day comes, the Kingdom of Spain will face a counterattack from the House of Augustus; At that time, would the Roman powers, who had encouraged the Kingdom of Spain to take the initiative to start a war, stand up to help the Kingdom of Spain resist the House of Augustus?

Not to mention whether the cunning and abnormal Roman forces were willing or not, even if they were willing, did they have that strength? Far from quenching the thirst of the near, it was not only the army of the House of Augustus, but also the support of the Roman powers for the Kingdom of Spain.

In view of this, the Duke of Dinoir did not approve of the Kingdom of Spain joining forces with the Roman powers to attack the province of Betica, the House of Augustus; Even, the Duke of Dinoir preferred an alliance between the Kingdom of Spain and the House of Augustus rather than an alliance with the Roman powers.

Helplessly, Charles VII, who was full of recovering the lost land of his ancestors, could not listen to the bitter words of the Duke of Dinoir; In order to prevent the Duke of Dinoy from influencing the war, Charles VII even transferred the Duke of Dinoit and his legions to the border of the Gallic barbarians!

This move, in fact, was also opposed by Botricott, who supported Charles VII in waging war; Whether or not the Duke of Dinoy opposed the war, Botrecott believed that if the war did break out, the Duke of Dinoy would still fight with all his heart.

In particular, the 10,000 elite army under the command of Duke Dinoir is one of the few elite divisions in the Kingdom of Spain; At a time when such a major battle is imminent, the loss caused to the overall situation of the war by transferring such an elite division will be incalculable.

Rather than transfer the elite legions of the Duke of Dinoir, it is better to leave one of the three newly formed legions and garrison them in the Gallic border area; In this way, the elite army of the Duke of Dinoy can also be drawn back to participate in the war.

Beautricott's desire to keep the Duke of Dinoy and his army was dismissed by Charles VII before it could be said to Charles VII; There is no way, who let the dissuasion of the Duke of Dinoir really anger Charles VII.

In fact, the reason why Botricott approved of Charles VII's plan to unite with the Roman powers against the House of Augustus was not that he did not understand how powerful the House of Augustus was, but that he saw an opportunity for the re-emergence of the Spanish kingdom in this war!

In Beautricott's view, the Kingdom of Spain was able to use this war to form alliances with the powerful Roman powers; In the future, the Kingdom of Spain could have gained more from the Roman powers under the pretext of fighting the House of Augustus.

More importantly, once the Augustians lost the province of Betica, they would completely lose their family's bridgehead on the Iberian Peninsula; A few years later, how could it be so easy for his family to counterattack the Kingdom of Spain?

And the Kingdom of Spain is not a fool, as long as the Kingdom of Spain can successfully take the province of Betica, it can completely control the entire coastal provinces of the Iberian Peninsula in its own hands; So, is the Kingdom of Spain far from a real rise?

There was also a Canterbury region on the Iberian Peninsula that was ruled by the Gallic barbarian tribe of Numantiana, but it only required a strong alliance between the Kingdom of Spain and the Roman Julius; The entire Gallic barbarians will be hunting grounds for both sides.

The Kingdom of Spain could attack the Numantian tribe with all its might and take the last province of the Iberian Peninsula that was not part of the Kingdom of Spain; Once this strategic objective is accomplished, the Kingdom of Spain will have complete control over the entire Iberian Peninsula.

This, combined with the alliance between the Kingdom of Spain and the Roman powers, would greatly contribute to the rapid development of the Kingdom of Spain; Could the Kingdom of Spain, with the support of these favorable conditions, not rise to become one of the great powers of the world?

For Beautricott, the Kingdom of Spain, rather than being reduced to a second-rate country like this, should see the opportunity and fight to the death; Once successful, the Kingdom of Spain will truly be among the world's great powers, and such a bright future will not be worth fighting?

The night before the Duke of Dinoy led his army to the barbarian border of Gaul, Bautracot himself went to the camp of the Duke of Dinoy's army, and had an all-night conversation with the Duke of Dinoy; That night, Beautrecott informed the Duke of Dinoy of all his thoughts.

The Duke of Dinoy, after a long silence, gave three proposals for Betrocott to wage war against the Augustus family in the province of Betika:

The first is that Botricott must divide his troops into two ways and launch a surprise attack on the province of Betica at the same time, and must not give the Augustus garrison in the province of Betica any time to react.

Second, the main direction of Botricott's attack must be placed in the south, to prevent the Augustus army from flowing into the hinterland of the Kingdom of Spain, and the west, which is responsible for covering the feint, also needs to station a strong army to prevent the Augustus army from escaping.

Thirdly, and most importantly, in the event of a war, Beautricott must settle the battle within a month, and lead his army to the ports of the various provinces of the Kingdom of Spain to guard against the Augustusian family.

For the Duke of Dinoy's heartfelt three suggestions, Botrecott also accepted them humbly, and discussed the detailed army deployment and battle plan with the Duke of Dinoy; Sending Exsaka and his Third Legion to the west was also the advice of the Duke of Dinoy.

Although the Duke of Dinoir himself was very disdainful of Exaca's character, and was also resentful of his sitting back and watching Joan of Arc captured; However, the Duke of Dinoir still evaluated Exsaka's ability from an objective point of view and affirmed his military exploits.

Compared with the more rigid Tecomin and Gazka, the nimble Exsaka is indeed more suitable for the task of defending the west and waiting for an opportunity to attack the province of Betika; As a result, Botrecott sent Exsaka to garrison the western frontier.

Had it not been for the affirmation and advice of the Duke of Dinoy, it would have been impossible for Botricott, who despised Exsaka's character, to let him sit alone; Botracott would only let Exsaka lead the Third Legion under his command and carry out some difficult missions.

Even with Duke Dinoir's suggestion, Botricott had no intention of making Exsaka feel better; Therefore, he sent the garrison of the Iberian province to the command of Exacca, and asked those old tribes of Joan of Arc to disgust Exaca.

This careful thinking of Botricott proved to be a great success; Joan of Arc's old hatred for Exsaka has reached the point of hatred to the bone marrow, and a fierce conflict naturally broke out between the two as soon as they met.

Of course, these are just small actions that can't be put on the stage; In a situation where war could break out at any time, it was impossible for Botricott to let these small things affect the overall situation of the Spanish kingdom.

Thus, Botracot also gave Exsaka full command of Iker's Iberian legion; In other words, those old tribes of Joan of Arc can add to the blockage of Exaca, but they must not affect the overall situation of the Kingdom of Spain!

Botracott believes that Exsaka is not the kind of person who is weak and incompetent; Since he could have resolutely chosen to sit back and watch Joan of Arc be captured, and his mind was as hard as a rock, how could he not control this small situation?

Out of trust in the Duke of Dinoir, Botrecott chose to trust Exsaka and entrusted him with the responsibility of garrisoning the western frontier; After that, Botracott devoted himself to the rearmament of his southern army. (To be continued.) )
