When he heard the name "Cid", Alfonso VI's expression became tangled, because he knew that Cid was undoubtedly one of the most capable generals in the Kingdom of Spain, which was why he
The talents that are most needed at present are, after all, in the process of unifying the Kingdom of Spain, many generals of Castile and Leon lost their lives in the war. Therefore, although the new Kingdom of Spain seems to have strong troops, there are not many suitable talents.
The generals stood up to lead them, which was the main reason why Afonso VI did not dare to cross the river directly.
So when the royal capital gathered troops and horses, Afonso VI also promoted some people from the nobles who he thought might be good as generals. As a result, these newly appointed generals were full of ugliness in front of their soldiers.
, except for a few who were pretty good, everyone else was arranged to be in charge of logistics by Afonso VI, who couldn't care less about his face.
As for promoting generals from among the soldiers, although Afonso VI wanted to do this, he knew that if he really did it, the nobles would have something to say. After all, military merit is a quick way for the nobles.
The way to promotion.
Therefore, Afonso VI felt that it was necessary for him to call back the reclusive Cide for the upcoming war.
but!
Afonso VI couldn't bear this shame, because the former Cide had embarrassed him time and time again, and even almost made him unable to become the king of Spain, so Afonso VI really couldn't swallow this breath...
What's more, the excuse used by Afonso VI to expel Cid was untenable. Now if he calls Cid back, what will others think of him?
In addition, Afonso VI also worried about Cid, that is, Cid's reputation in the Kingdom of Spain is too high, whether it is among the nobles or the people, even now
Many years have passed, and there has been no news from Cid.
Afonso VI often heard stories about his great achievements, so Afonso VI was very worried that if Cide performed any great achievements in this war, he would just go up and shout,
It is possible for him to wear a yellow robe like the new emperor in the Eastern Continent.
Thinking of this, Afonso VI couldn't help but glance at a few thread-bound books next to him. These were bought by him from a fleet from the Eastern Continent. They recorded various legendary stories that happened in the Eastern Continent.
, one of the stories called "Yellow Robe and the Body" made Afonso VI unable to sleep well for several days, because he would think of Cide every time he closed his eyes.
So, forget it?
Afonso VI sighed silently in his heart, shook his head and said: "I personally ordered Cide to be expelled from the Kingdom of Spain, so if I bring him back now, how will you let others see me? An
Andre, I hope you won't mention this matter in front of me again, otherwise I will have to let you leave the Kingdom of Spain like Cid! Okay, now you go and see how the boat for crossing the river is prepared.
"
Hearing what Afonso VI said, Andre could only nod helplessly, turned around and left the Chinese army's tent. The other generals who had been watching the show saw that the situation was not good, and they all looked for help.
Reason left with Andre.
Suddenly, only King Afonso VI and his "loyal dog" - Alonso were left in the Chinese army's tent.
"Alonso, what do you think..."
Before Alfonso VI finished speaking, Alonso rushed to say: "I think your Majesty, you did the right thing, because Cid is your biggest enemy, so if you let him come back, I think those
The nobles who are dissatisfied with Your Majesty are very likely to support him as their spokesperson, and then Your Majesty's situation may become very bad, and our great Kingdom of Spain may be divided into two again."
"yes."
Afonso VI slumped on his chair in frustration, and said feebly: "In the eyes of those damn guys, I am just a villain with an unfair position, so they tried every means to oust me from the throne;
Longso, has anyone tried to harm me recently?"
Alonso thought for a while, shook his head and said: "The nobles have been quiet recently because they all know the importance of this war. Of course, they are also waiting for a better opportunity. After all, if we lose this war
If so, Your Majesty's reputation will drop significantly, and they will definitely take this opportunity to attack."
"I know this."
Afonso VI sighed, picked up the wine glass on the table and drank it all in one gulp: "I just want to take a gamble. If I can bring the Iberian Peninsula back to the glory of the Lord, then I will
I can become the greatest king on the Iberian Peninsula, and even turn the Kingdom of Spain into the Spanish Empire. But if this war fails, then I will..."
At this point, Afonso VI could no longer speak.
"Your Majesty, don't put so much pressure on yourself. The southern part of the Iberian Peninsula has been stolen by those damn infidels for hundreds of years. As long as we can regain a quarter of the land this time, it will be a big victory.
, so even if we only take back a few cities, it won’t be considered a failure.”
Seeing that Alfonso VI was a little downcast, Alonso quickly comforted him: "And who would have thought that the Berbers on the other side of the sea would suddenly support the Moors? If we had known the news earlier, we would have done better.
Many are prepared to start another war, and even ask the Pope to preside over this war."
Now that Alonso had made the ladder, Afonso VI "came down" and said: "Yes, if I knew that the Berbers would come to join the war, how could I send troops so easily? You know
The strength of those Berbers cannot be underestimated...Alonso, you should send someone to find Cid now to see what he is doing and whether there is anyone with ulterior motives looking for him."
"I see."
Alonso turned around and wanted to leave, but suddenly thought of something, "By the way, Your Majesty, if someone really wants Cid to stand up as their spokesperson, then should we attack first?"
Alonso's question made Alfonso VI hesitate again. After a moment, he said seriously: "If someone is really going to let Cid stand up against me, then you can arrange a few killers to follow him."
Cid, find a suitable opportunity to kill him, but you must ensure that others will not associate Cid's death with me."
