Kang Younian looked at Lin Shan, as if he was determined, and then he opened his mouth, and his voice became much lower, "My dear mind is thousands of miles away, and the northwest is deserted and shallow pond. How can I accommodate the dragon? If I want to develop, I must march eastward. Lishan County is the bridgehead for the eastward advance, and its importance is far greater than that of others."

Qin Mu glanced at the two of them with a smile, without saying a word, but turned the topic to another place: "How is your division team at present?"

"Sir, it's not that we boasted that we are full of morale and well-trained. These eight words are not enough to describe our division." Lin Shan replied confidently, "It can be completely comparable to the First Division."

"Wow, you're not a little breath, Lin Shan, beware of the strong wind flashing your tongue." Qin Mu laughed and joked.

"Sir, we are definitely not boasting about Haikou. Over the past year, we have put in a lot of effort. Whether it is cavalry battles or night battles and mountain battles, the land in Meishan County has not left the sweat of the soldiers? This is not something that can be bragged about." Lin Shan was still dissatisfied.

"There are many opportunities, don't be impatient. By the way, how is the situation there?" Qin Mu turned his head and looked east again, and his eyes became deeper.

"Sir, the security forces over there are not enough to worry about, but the Fifth and Sixth Divisions of the Fourth Empire Corps of the Fourth Army and are not weak in combat." Kang Younian replied slowly.

"Well, the war in the south has begun, and there is information that the Fourth Legion has drawn troops south. Is there any movement here?" Qin Mu's voice also fell.

"Sir, there should be no change. Our horse detectives also reconnaissed the three of their wings to perform tactical exercises outside the Partridge Pass yesterday." Lin Shan replied.

"It seems that the adults in the court are still very worried about us." Qin Mu murmured to himself, "How is your training done?"

"Don't worry, we have conducted three imitative practical training sessions, with significant results. And we are planning to conduct three practical drills in the first half of this year." Kang Younian replied seriously.

"It's great, don't relax, strengthen your combat readiness, try to be familiar with the terrain. Whenever there is any abnormal movement, you must be able to pull it out immediately and win." Qin Mu's eyes were firmly staring at the East.

"Yes!" The two bowed and bowed.

Through the curtain of the carriage and looking at the majestic pass in the distance, Qin Mu knew that this was the first pass to enter the Central Plains in the northwest - Partridge Pass. It is said that the number of partridges in the woods near this place is very large, and the meat is delicious, which is a delicious local delicacy, so Partridge Pass is named.

"Sir, there is a place in front of the Partridge Pass." A cavalry guard rode his horse to the carriage.

"Well, you go and report it." Qin Mu replied lightly.

When Qin Mu and his party arrived in front of the gate, the door had already opened wide, and an officer wearing the rank of governor was already waiting in front of the gate.

"The General of Queqiao Pass Ying Jianming has met Lord Baishenghou!" Seeing Qin Mu get out of the carriage, the officer hurried forward and performed a standard emperor's ceremony.

"Mr. Ying, don't be polite. I am just returning to Beijing to report my duties. I'm just passing by here today. Mr. Ying, don't need to be polite." Qin Mu smiled and replied with a greeting, while looking at the middle-aged man in front of him.

He looks only thirty-five or six years old. He looks so sturdy that he can reach the level of general in the imperial court. He is also outstanding, but he doesn't know whether he is a relative of a minister or noble in the imperial court.

"Sir, I'll be tired from afar, so I'd better go to the gate to rest first." The young officer politely led the way, and the soldiers on both sides had already lined up to welcome him.

While returning the gift politely, Qin Mu waved to the soldiers on both sides. The soldiers were extremely excited to learn that the young man in front of him was actually his idol - Qin Mu, known as the hero of the imperial world, was all very excited. They saluted to show respect. However, due to the limitations of military discipline, they could not make any more excessive actions, otherwise the scene would definitely be in chaos.

Even the merchants and people who were entering and leaving before the pass were surrounded when they learned that Qin Mu passed the pass, hoping to see Qin Mu's peerless style. Cheers burst out from time to time in the crowd. This was people shouting for their heroes. Even Qin Mu, who was observing the situation of the soldiers stationed in Queqiao Pass, was moved. He couldn't help but smile and waved his hand to signal. He finally entered the pass through the closing door.

"Tianxiong, look at which of the troops stationed here is stronger than ours?" After seeing off Ying Jianming and his party, Qin Mu returned to his usual calm appearance and asked casually the captain of his guards who stood aside.

"According to the observation of Beizhi, the combat effectiveness of these regiments is not weak. It may be a certain gap with the main divisions of our Northwest Legion, but it is definitely not weaker than any of our security divisions." After considering it, Song Tianxiong slowly expressed his thoughts.

"Well, you have a good vision. Ying Jianming is not a mediocre person. He is calm and has an extraordinary temperament. He is worthy of being the main force of the Fourth Legion." Qin Mu picked up the teacup and walked slowly to the window.

"Kebeizhi sees that Ying Jianming admires the adults very much and his tone is quite sincere. Even the soldiers and officers of these regiments admire him all." Song Tianxiong couldn't help but express his thoughts.

"Tianxiong, don't be confused by this superficial false phenomenon. When there is no direct conflict of interest, many things are still hidden in the dark. Once direct conflict of interests occurs, whether these so-called admiration and admiration can become factors that shake their confidence and will have a big question mark." Qin Mu shook his head slightly and replied.

"But sir, this is at least a very beneficial factor for us. sir is well-known and many soldiers regard you as their idols, and the influence in this aspect cannot be ignored. I don't think of this deputy commander of the division, but I think this playboy among the nobles. He should have been promoted by accumulating military merits. Those soldiers respect him very much. I think we can find ways to make friends with him, and at least maintain a good relationship."

Although Song Tianxiong admired his master very much, Qin Mu had long asked his subordinates not to blindly follow his superiors, including himself, but should boldly express his views, so he insisted on expressing his views.

Qin Mu didn't say anything, but just secretly considered the idea proposed by Song Tianxiong. If he could make friends with this person well, it would be at least beneficial or harmless. If he took a step back, he would not suffer any losses to himself.

"You can consider the idea you mentioned, but you need to pay attention to the methods and methods. I think you should wait until you have the opportunity to contact us before talking about it." Qin Mu finally made up his mind.

Looking at Qin Mu and his party's distant figure, Ying Jianming still echoed Qin Mu's words in his mind. What does his words mean? He is just a general and has no reputation at all. Even if he has them, he only has a little reputation in the Fourth Legion to which he belongs. Moreover, it is well known that he is not in line with the commander of the army, otherwise he would not have sent himself to garrison in this wilderness. Although Queqiao Pass is important, the disappearance of bandits around him, so where would there be any incident that affects safety?

It was not until Qin Mu and his party disappeared from sight that Ying Jianming returned to the pass with his subordinates with thoughts. Qin Mu's heroic image had been firmly shaped in the hearts of him and his subordinates, making them savor from time to time.
