So the challenge is that Belisarius takes his army after conquering Africa, and goes rogue. Perhaps by using neglect/poor judgement from Justinian as justification, selling it to his men that Justinian doesn't want to actually conquer the Western Empire, and would rather let them die in his paranoia.

Assuming this works to bring the army onto his side, alongside their control of Vandal Africa, where could Belisarius go from here? Marry into the Ostrogoths? Survive the Moors / Bring them alongside?

Could Belisarius, resourcing himself from the local resources of the West even begin a grand reconquest?
