Song Mu randomly killed a few monsters in the wild, and then took their corpses directly to the pass.
When the figure landed on the battlements of the pass again, the soldiers on the pass saw that it was Song Mu, especially when they saw that Song Mu was still holding several monster beast corpses in his hands, and each of them looked surprised.
"General Song is really powerful. He went out like this and came back after hunting several monsters."
"It seems that they are still cultivating demon generals, and the master's accumulated achievements will be added to a lot."
Several soldiers came forward to talk. Song Mu immediately asked them to deal with the corpses of these monsters and found a place to sit down and drink water. However, a soldier hurriedly ran over, raised his hand towards Song Mu, and then said in a deep voice
said.
"General Song, General Wang has ordered you to see him when you come back."
After hearing this, Song Mu nodded immediately and stood up and headed towards the pass.
Arriving at a pavilion at this pass, Song Mu immediately opened the door and entered, and saw a burly figure sitting upright. This man was Wang Lidong, the general at this pass. He was also a Jinshi, and his cultivation level was comparable to Song Mu's.
It needs to be a bit stronger.
At this moment, the other party was holding a pen and writing. When he saw Song Mu arriving, he waved his hand to signal Song Mu to sit down, while he continued to write.
Song Mu waited here for a long time before he saw that General Wang had finished what he was doing. Then General Wang raised his head, looked at Song Mu and said.
"General Song is out hunting monsters again this time?"
Song Mu quickly raised his hands and said.
"I apologize for my humble duty. I just strangled a few remaining monsters and caused trouble to the king, general and disciples."
Wang Lidong smiled after hearing this, and looked at Song Mu with a hint of helplessness.
Wang Lidong also knew very little about the Song general in front of him. It was just a military order at the beginning, and the other party conveniently came to fill the gap of the deputy general at the pass.
I only know that his name is Song Qing, but I don't know the rest of the things. Song Qing doesn't talk much in the pass on weekdays, which makes it even more difficult to know.
During this period, Wang Lidong also had his own speculations. After a search, he found that there was no such a high-ranking person among the people who were awarded the title of Jinshi in the current dynasty. From this point of view, it may be that the Shizong disciple entered the world under a pseudonym.
However, despite this, the opponent used a variety of moves, which really made Wang Lidong a little confused.
However, after Wang Lidong saw the other party's demon-killing performance several times, he also greatly appreciated it and even stopped worrying about it.
After all, as long as this Jinshi can indeed bring a different situation to his own pass, that is enough.
What's more, now I still have something to ask for.
At that moment, Wang Lidong stood up and said to Song Mu.
"General Song, now there is a military order coming down from above. After thinking about it, I think it is best for you to go."
Song Mu quickly raised his hands and asked in a deep voice.
"I'm in a humble position and I'm scared, but I don't know what's going on?"
Wang Lidong immediately opened his mouth to explain.
"It's the hot season now. Many monsters in the desert are tired. The war on the border has taken a break, so the Western Border Army is preparing to hold a competition. Our regiment also has men and horses selected. There is also a group of soldiers at our pass.
Let’s compare.”
After hearing this, Song Mu raised his head and looked at the other party, but frowned slightly at the moment. He probably understood what the other party meant, but he still asked.
"Then I wonder what this kind of competition is about?"
"This competition is a bit different. It doesn't matter about boxing, kicking, or troop formation. It's more about how we train against the enemy. We can also see how our troops train on a daily basis."
"I will ask Lieutenant Gou to discuss this situation with you. I just wonder if General Song is willing to take over this mission?"
Song Mu immediately handed over his hand again, and was very curious about the situation, but he still asked.
"Sir, I would like to ask you one more question, when will this legion competition end?"
Wang Lidong was stunned and then said with a smile.
"It will start in early June, end in the middle of June, and return to the pass in the second half of June."
After hearing this, Song Mu also breathed a sigh of relief. This saved him a lot of trouble, so he naturally agreed happily at this moment.
When Wang Lidong saw Song Mu agreeing so readily, there was no smile on his face at that moment, but he said calmly.
"General Song, this matter is not trivial. The competition now is also related to the importance that Shangguan will pay to me in the future, but you have to be more careful."
"Don't say that we are indisputable. Our Zhenxiguan competition has never failed in previous years. This year, we will naturally show off our strength."
After hearing this, Song Mu also nodded cautiously and handed over his hand. Song Mu was also somewhat looking forward to such a competition.
After all, this is a competition between the various legions of the Western Border Army, and I am sure that I will see many extraordinary talents. If there are any surprises, I might be able to learn something from it.
Song Mu immediately took action on this matter. A few days later, Song Mu and a group of talented military officers selected by Zhen Xiguan set off for the Demon Slaying Pass, which was more than a hundred miles away.
That is a major pass in Western Xinjiang, and the various teams of the Western Xinjiang frontier army will also compete there.
While on the road, Song Mu still read the book every day, only occasionally getting off his horse to hunt monsters.
On this day, several people once again killed some blind monsters. Because Song Mu noticed the ambush in advance, only one person was slightly injured. However, the team still packed up and continued moving forward.
As the team continued to move forward, the dog master suddenly appeared next to Song Mu and spoke at this moment.
"General Song, I wonder what your plans are for the competition at that time?"
Song Mu raised his head and looked at the opponent. Although Mr. Gou was a little older, General Wang asked him to participate in this competition by name because he had participated several times before and was very familiar with the situation.
This time, Song Mu smiled and said, cupping his hands.
"Song, however, doesn't know much about what's in it. We still need the old lieutenant to pay more attention to it."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! But Master Gou waved his hand and said.
"Actually, there is nothing clear. During this period, we mostly relied on the general's ability. This is also a kind of formation."
Song Mu looked puzzled when he heard this, but the dog master had already said in a deep voice.
"Our legion's martial arts competition is, after all, a literati competition, but it uses military methods to inspire poetry and combat. Power, speed, and durability are all assessment elements."
"But there is still a gap in the power of literati writing poetry, even if the realm is the same. Although our soldiers at the pass have also experienced hundreds of battles, in addition to our garrison corps, the Western Border Army also has sortie corps, formation corps, etc.
Wait, they are both legions that have fought many big battles with demons, so if we really compare them, it’s hard to say.”
Song Mu was also surprised when he heard this, and asked now.
"It seems that it is very difficult, so what should we do?"
But Lord Gou smiled and continued in a deep voice.
"This thing is quite simple, that is, the poems we practice must be different, or at least a little extraordinary."
"Extraordinary?"
"Well, I heard that in the past two years, many people in the army have been practicing the poems of Song Zhuangyuan, such as "Expelling Demons", "Nan Xiangzi", and "Recalling Xiang Yu". They are all good poems. They can be used on the battlefield.
It’s quite miraculous.”
"Among them, there are still people who practice Song Zhuangyuan's "Song of Righteousness", but there are very few who have mastered it. The talented lieutenants in our team can only succeed by chance a hundred times."
Song Mu was also stunned when he heard this, but Mr. Gou next to him said with a smile.
"However, your Excellency is a Jinshi after all. He must understand these poems better than us, so I have the same plan and ask you to teach us how to write these poems."
Many scholarly officers and lieutenants nearby also looked at it, with a bit of joy in their eyes. Song Mu also raised his hands to them and nodded silently.
Turning his head to look into the distance, Song Mu became somewhat interested at the moment. This military competition between legions seemed to be quite mysterious.
