Chapter 1268 Continue Dancing

Outside Tianjue Pass, the coalition army is stationed.

Although the coalition army has won many victories, Huang Tianjun can only defend Tianjue Pass, but the military preparations have not been relaxed at all. There are a large number of soldiers inside and outside the military camp, wearing armor and sharp weapons, patrolling day and night in three shifts, without any slack.

Outside the military camp, there are watchtowers every 300 meters, and the watchtowers extend all the way to the five miles in front of Tianjue Pass.

These watchtowers are also in three shifts, and there are three soldiers stationed on each tower to prevent the camp from being stolen in the middle of the night.

Indeed, the coalition army has won many victories now. No matter from what angle, Huang Tianjun has no chance of turning the tables, but this does not affect Huo Zicheng's utmost attention to the enemy.

Huo Zicheng is indeed a second-generation power, but he is by no means incompetent. Just like the uncle of the king who wants to steal the country in the capital of gods, he can be said to be disloyal, unkind and unjust, but he can never be said to be stupid. A stupid person cannot have power over the government and the country.

Although Huo Zicheng is the other party's son, if he is incompetent, he will not be entrusted with important tasks.

Therefore, even if the victory is certain, the location of the coalition forces is still built by Huo Zicheng, like an iron barrel.

However, although the military camp is heavily guarded inside and outside, the center of the military camp is the daily singing and dancing.

Since the start of the war, the army always has to hold a big banquet every few days or dozens of days to entertain various princes.

But this is not because Huo Zicheng is greedy for pleasure. As the most powerful son of the capital, what kind of wine, music, singing and dancing has he not enjoyed in the capital? !

No matter how the military camp is decorated, whether it is wine, meat, or beauties, it is definitely not as good as the capital of the gods.

Huo Zicheng repeatedly holds banquets, seemingly enjoying himself, but in fact, it is just to win people's hearts.

Most of the princes and powerful people who responded to the uprising were young people, such as Yuan Chu, Cao Zheng, Guo Qi, Zheng Qi... The older ones were only in their early thirties, and the younger ones were only in their twenties.

In addition, the banquet was not only attended by princes and powerful people, but also by young warriors who had emerged in the war during this period.

As for young people, if you want to win their hearts, you can't hold serious meetings every day. It's better to hold a big banquet with wine, meat and beauties to make people return to their hearts.

Many people, seeing the big banquet in the army, think of greed for pleasure, which 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. Although Huo Zicheng is the leader of the alliance, he does things with a big heart. He is impartial and does not favor the generals he brought with him too much, but acts impartially.

In this case, although he lost some military merits, many princes were still convinced. On the surface, his side gained less merits, but Huo Zicheng gained prestige and his work was more convincing.

Even Yuan Chu was very dissatisfied from the beginning, and he was dissatisfied with Huo Zicheng as the leader. But for several months, he could not find any unfairness in the other party. In this case, even with Yuan Chu's pride, he had to admit that he underestimated the heroes of the world.

After all, Yuan Chu's base was mainly in the north, not in the capital of the gods. Before that, he and Huo Zicheng did not have much contact.

And the last time when he attacked Huang Tian, ​​Huo Zicheng was mainly guarding the capital of the gods, and did not fight much, so his reputation was not as good as his, and there were two big ones, Cao Zheng.

At this moment, there is another grand banquet in the army. Yuan Chu is still sitting at the bottom of Huo Zicheng. The scene in the tent does not look much different from a few months ago. Only by looking closely can you find that except for the thirteen largest princes, the remaining personnel have changed a lot.

In a place like the battlefield, the battle is dangerous, some people die in battle, some people make meritorious deeds, and it changes constantly like water flow. This is normal.

Only by becoming a leader can you be a little safer.

In the tent, the atmosphere at this moment can be described as a happy atmosphere, with endless singing and dancing, and the people below are either eating and drinking meat and watching the singing and dancing, or talking quietly with the people around them. Everyone has a smile on their face, and no one is spoiling the fun in such a place.

Among them, Huo Zicheng and Yuan Chu seem to be watching the singing and dancing, but in fact they are also watching the heroes who have recently emerged in the tent.

Most of these people have no foundation. Of course, this foundation does not mean that they were born in the mud. Both Huo Zicheng and Yuan Chu are children of nobles and look down on common people. The so-called foundation refers to small families, not untouchables.

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 for many years and the influence of what they see and hear every day make them disdain to associate with such people.

Therefore, in the corner of this tent, although there are people who were born as commoners and came to the tent through bloody battles, they are not valued by them.

In the past, only Cao Zheng was the most enthusiastic about such people.

But now...

Huo Zicheng and Yuan Chu thought of Cao Zheng almost at the same time. Cao Zheng, of course, was criticized for his love of dealing with untouchables and insulting the dignity of the nobles. Yuan Chu even satirized this matter specifically, but they had to admit that Cao Zheng was extremely powerful in both wisdom and martial arts. He was a very powerful opponent and they valued him.

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 there.

Just in the morning, the other party resigned from Huo Zicheng, saying that his father was suddenly seriously ill. Although he wanted to continue to make contributions to the country, the thief Huang Tian was no longer a force to be reckoned with, and his father could no longer wait. If he did not return, it would be unfilial, so he could only resign with tears.

Cao Zheng said it sincerely at that time. After all, Da Cang ruled the world with filial piety. If the son knew that his father was seriously ill and did not return, he would be cursed by the world.

In this case, Huo Zicheng could not force the other party to stay. Of course, the most important thing was that he had no reason to keep the other party. If the other party wanted to leave when the station was just opened, it would undoubtedly damage the morale of the army, and he could not agree.

But now, the war is about to be won, and when the credit is about to be divided, the other party left, which is actually a good thing.

In the future, the court will reward the other party based on merit. Of course, it is impossible not to give the other party any credit, but it will definitely be greatly discounted.

And the credit is generally unchanged. If one party gets less, others will naturally get more.

In this regard, the princes in the tent could not help but sigh in their hearts, lamenting that Cao Zheng had a bad luck this year. This was probably the so-called bad luck. When the credit was about to be distributed, his old father suddenly became seriously ill. Could it be that even God wanted to hinder the other party? !

And just at this time, the singing and dancing in the tent slowly stopped, but it was the end of a song and a dance. Seeing this, Huo Zicheng shouted: "This song is good, this dance is also acceptable, come on, continue the music, continue the dance!"
