>best general

thats an oxymoron

if you want a best general look at Khalid ibn al-Walid

>>2619920
al-Walid literally faced a Byzantium and Persia that had just finished their latest and most destructive war (the latest of 600 years of constant warfare) only a few years previous.

You want a fucking S+ general, consider Genghis and Subetai.
