Outside the Tianjue Pass, the coalition forces are stationed.
Although the coalition forces had won consecutive victories, Huang Tianjun could only defend Tianjue Pass, but their armaments were not slack at all. There were a large number of soldiers inside and outside the military camp, wearing strong armor and strong weapons, working in three shifts, patrolling day and night without any slack. .
Outside the military camp, watchtowers were set up every three hundred meters. The watchtowers spread all the way to the first five miles of Tianjue Pass.
These watchtowers also have three shifts, and three soldiers are stationed on each tower to prevent people from stealing camps in the middle of the night.
Indeed, the coalition forces are now winning consecutive victories. No matter from any angle, Huang Tianjun has no chance of making a comeback, but this does not affect Huo Zicheng's utmost emphasis on the enemy.
Although Huo Zicheng is of the second generation of power, he is by no means an incompetent person. Just like the uncle in the divine capital who wants to steal the country, you can say that he is disloyal and unkind, but you can never say that he is stupid. May dominate the government and the opposition.
Although Huo Zicheng is the other party's son, if he is incompetent, he will not be entrusted with important tasks.
Therefore, even if victory is certain, the location of the coalition forces is still built by Huo Zicheng, like an iron barrel.
However, although the military camp was heavily guarded inside and outside, the center of the military camp was filled with daily singing and dancing.
Since the army was raised, there would always be a big banquet in the army to entertain all the princes, either within a few days or dozens of days.
But this is not because Huo Zicheng is greedy for pleasure. As the most powerful son in Beijing, what kind of drinking, music, singing and dancing has he not enjoyed in Beijing? !
No matter how this military camp is arranged, no matter whether it is wine, meat or beauties, it will never be as good as the city of God.
Huo Zicheng held banquets many times, seemingly to enjoy himself, but in fact, they were just to win people's hearts.
Most of the powerful princes who responded to the rebellion this time were of the younger generation, Yuan Chu, Cao Zheng, Guo Qi, Zheng Qi... The older ones were only in their early thirties, and the younger ones were only twenty years old. Teenagers.
In addition, in this banquet, there were not only powerful princes, but also young warriors who had shown their prominence in the war during this period.
As for young people, if you want to win their hearts, you will definitely not succeed if you hold serious meetings every day. How about having a feast with wine, meat and beautiful women to make people win over.
Many people, when they see a big banquet in the army, think of greed for pleasure. This is undoubtedly looking down on the heroes of the world.
At the same time, now that the war has been going on for several months, the situation in the coalition is different again. Although Huo Zicheng has become the leader of the alliance, he does things with dignity and is impartial and does not favor himself too much. The generals he brought with him acted impartially.
In this case, although some military merits were lost, many princes were still convinced. On the surface, his side received less credit, but Huo Zicheng gained prestige and his actions were more convincing.
Even Yuan Chu was very dissatisfied with Huo Zicheng as the leader of the alliance from the beginning, but in the past few months, he couldn't find any unfairness in the other party's treatment. In this case, even with Yuan Chu's pride, I have to admit that I underestimate the world's heroes.
After all, Yuan Chu's base was mainly in the north, not in the capital city. Before that, he and Huo Zicheng didn't have much contact.
The last time, during the crusade against Huang Tian, Huo Zicheng mainly defended the divine capital and did not fight much, so his reputation was not as good as his, and that of Cao Zheng.
At this moment, there was another military banquet, and Yuan Chu was still sitting at Huo Zicheng's desk. The scene in this camp did not look much different from a few months ago. Only by looking closely can you find that except for ten Except for the largest princes in the three groups, the remaining personnel have changed a lot.
In a place like the battlefield, the battle is dangerous and dangerous. Some people die in battle and some make meritorious deeds. It is constantly changing like water. This is normal.
Only by becoming a leader can we feel a little safer.
At the moment, the atmosphere in the camp can be described as joyful, with endless singing and dancing. The people below were either eating wine, drinking meat, watching the singing and dancing, or chatting quietly with the people around them. Everyone had smiles on their faces. People are disappointed in a place like this.
Among them, Huo Zicheng and Yuan Chu seemed to be looking at singing and dancing, but in fact they were looking at the heroes who had recently emerged in the account.
Most of these people are people with no foundation. Of course, this lack of foundation does not refer to the birth of mud-legged people. Whether it is Huo Zicheng or Yuan Chu, these two people are both sons of nobles and look down on common people. The so-called "no foundation" refers to the small A small family, not a pariah.
It's not that they don't know that there are smart people and brave people among the common people, but the education they have received over the years has made them disdain to associate with such people.
Therefore, in the corner of this camp, although there were people who were born as civilians and had made meritorious service in bloody battles, they were able to come to the camp, but they were not taken seriously by them.
In the past, only Cao Zheng was the most enthusiastic towards this kind of people.
But now...
Huo Zicheng and Yuan Chu thought of Cao Zheng almost at the same time. Although Cao Zheng was criticized by them for liking to deal with untouchables and insulting the majesty of the nobles, Yuan Chu even made fun of it, but they couldn't help it. Don't admit it, Cao Zheng is extremely powerful both in terms of intelligence and martial arts. He is a very powerful opponent and deserves their attention.
However, when they looked over, they only saw that Cao Zheng's seat was empty.
Only then did they remember that Cao Zheng was no longer here.
Just in the morning, the other party asked Huo Zicheng to resign, saying that his father was suddenly seriously ill. Although he was determined to continue to serve the country, Huang Tian was no longer a traitor, but his father could no longer wait. If he didn't Returning would be unfilial, so I could only resign with tears in my eyes.
What Cao Zheng said at the time was true. After all, the Cang Dynasty ruled the world with filial piety and brotherhood. If the father was seriously ill and the son knew about it but did not return, he would be scolded by the people of the world.
Under such circumstances, Huo Zicheng cannot forcefully keep the other party. Of course, the most important thing is that he has no reason to keep the other party. If the other party leaves when the station is just opened, it will undoubtedly damage the morale of the army. , it is impossible for him to agree.
But now, the war is about to be won, and just when the credit is about to be divided, the other party leaves, which is actually a good thing.
In the future, when the court rewards each other based on merit, it is impossible not to give the other party any credit, but the determination must be greatly reduced.
As for credit, the overall thing remains unchanged. If one party gets less, others will naturally get more.
Regarding this, the princes in the camp could not help but sigh in their hearts, lamenting that Cao Zheng was having a bad year. This was probably the so-called bad luck. When he was about to share the credit, his father suddenly became seriously ill. Could it be that That is, even God wants to hinder the other party? !
And at this moment, the singing and dancing in the camp slowly stopped, but the song ended and the dance ended. Seeing this, Huo Zicheng said loudly: "This song is good, this dance is also acceptable, come on, let's play the music again." , keep dancing!”
