Hmm well, kinda vague about what you mean really. To get a good campaign going you must get your trade up and running without starting to many fights. Go for those rebel provinces first and build up your borders. Keep your happiness up by building churches/mosques, taverns, and such. Choose generals with at least 3, preferrably more acumen to hold the province title. Keep your generals happy by ransoming them back if taken, or getting cash for prisoners taken.

Now for merging two armies, you have to watch your number of men. Can only have 960 men in any stack. Unlike castles, horses dont count as two. Just pick one stack up and place it on the others flag. Should add them together, and fill in the reduced units if there are any.
If I misunderstood sorry, anything else just ask.
