Chapter 99

Xiao Qidao also mentioned that he wanted to participate in the Martial Arts Academy’s entrance exam, but after An Zhe persuaded him to give up.

An Zeng advised him, “”Do you think an eight year old child like you will participate in the Martial Arts Academy’s recruitment exam?””

Was it like that?

“”Do you think one of those people can beat you? If you go and beat them all up, will they still live? Will they still live?””

Although the empress dowager Su Qing gave a warm order to allow the girls to take part in the examinations for the Martial Arts Academy and the other academies, there weren’t many people who had actually come.

This was an age when ideas needed to be changed, and even if the Empress allowed it, her parents wouldn’t allow it.

The general reason was that a girl should learn to be popular at home.

He didn’t know how many girls’ dreams had been stifled by this completely uninnovative way of speaking.

The Martial Arts Academy exam was very interesting. There was no written test.

Since the Martial Arts Academy had enough teachers and the Military Department would send people to assist, the 700 or so exam candidates were divided into 20 exam grounds and carried out at the same time.

The examiners were the ones who set the questions in the morning, the people below relied on their reactions to complete the questions.

In the afternoon, the martial arts exam was the main event.

The martial arts exam was divided into three parts. The first part was the test of cultivation level, the Nine Star Arena.

The second is riding, the Yanmen are good at fighting, riding is a must.

Because of the good relations between the nomadic peoples of Yan and the north, the number of war horses had always been high.

This was also the reason why only the Yan Country possessed powerful heavy armored cavalrymen. In the other nations of the sixteen kingdoms, there was no one who could choose a warhorse that was outstanding enough to carry heavy armored cavalrymen.

The third test was a match, and his opponent had been randomly chosen by the examiner.

Each person’s name was written on a piece of paper and placed in a box, which was then selected by the examiner.

At most, he could only finish one martial arts exam in half a day. The next day, he continued.

According to what Old Huo said, the destiny of a war for peace was always so strange.

Sometimes, good luck that didn’t even make sense would cause him to fall down from the sky with a splash, smashing his face all over.

However, this time, An Zaiyue’s luck seemed to be slightly worse.

An Zaiyue had been assigned to Group A, which was the first exam site.

The instructor in charge of this exam was Chang Huan. Currently, the youngest teacher in the academy was not even thirty years old.

The reason why he had such an identity and position, was partly because he was truly strong, and partly because he had been personally taught by the Vice Principal when he was studying in the academy.

Furthermore, Chang Huan had not been assigned to serve in the army under the Military Department after graduation. Instead, he had been forced by words to remain in the Martial Arts Academy as a teacher.

This person’s personality was a little gloomy, and he didn’t seem to like dealing with new students.

Some teachers will feel good about their students’ growth as a sense of achievement, will be very happy, will be proud.

But Chang Huan didn’t think so. He thought it was just a boring job.

The organizer was Chang Huan, and the assistant examiners were one of the leaders of the Military Affairs Department. Their name was Xu Chao.

The manager’s rank was not high, but his authority was not small. He was one of the most important positions in the yamen.

Xu Chao was also very young. He looked to be around twenty-five or twenty-six years old.

When he sat there, he straightened his upper body with a solemn expression.

This person’s appearance was very straightforward. His sword-like eyebrows were very sharp, and his eyes were very clear. He was the type of handsome man with a masculine aura.

He had just transferred back from the military service to the Ministry of War. Many members of the Ministry of War had died. He had received the news of his transfer to the Ministry of War the next day. Chen Zaiyan had personally named him.

Chang Huan nodded to Xu Chao then stood up and said, “”You all know the rules, so there’s no need for me to say anything.””

From now until I say the end, no one is allowed to talk, and the speaker and the speaker are disqualified at the same time.

There are eight inspecting officers in this room, and you can see every move clearly.

“”This is a major event that can change your lives. I hope that you will all be more serious. If you all are disqualified due to whispering to each other, I think you will regret it so much that you won’t be able to sleep.””

“”Everyone here is likely to be the subject of the pedestals of Great Yan in the future. When I see you in the future, I’ll also have to greet you according to the rules.””

Of course, there are very few people who have the qualifications to do so, so I hope that each of you will be very serious.

“”Don’t think that the martial arts exam in the afternoon is the most important, because if I can’t pass this test, you might not even have the qualifications to take the exam.””

Some of the people below sucked in a breath of cold air. It was obvious that they were not confident in their ability to adapt.

Chang Huan glanced at everyone before saying, “”The next test will begin. All of you, listen carefully to every word I say.””

“”Right now, you are all low-level military officers in the army. On the battlefield, your general made a mistake in his judgment, which led to your defeat.””

At this time, the general was still stubborn and stubborn, insisting on the wrong command, how are you guys going to deal with this.

There are two answers. Firstly … Regardless of whether the general’s judgment is correct or wrong, strictly abide by the military orders of the general, do not question or slack off.

Second, make your point to the general. If the general does not accept it, then contact more people and fight in the manner you think is correct. “”

He looked at all the examinees and said, “”Those who choose the first answer, raise your left hand. Those who choose the second answer, raise your right hand.””

Almost everyone had a difficult expression on their faces. This was indeed not a good choice.

According to the military law, the general’s orders must be obeyed unconditionally.

But the premise of the question was that the chief general was wrong.

“”I have to make a choice before I count to ten.””

Chang Huan began to count the number. Although everyone appeared to be in a difficult position, most of them still made their choice after counting the ten numbers.

There were less than forty people present, and 90% of them chose first. The remaining few chose second, but only An Zaiyue chose nothing.

There were four civilian officials in the examination room, recording each person’s performance.

Each of them had a form in his hand with the names of everyone in the examination hall.

The civilian officials stood up, looked at it, then drew on the forms, filled in the answers, and made their evaluations.

There were only three types of evaluations: excellent, good and poor.

After the names of all the examinees who chose first place, a ‘good’ word was added.

All the examinees who chose the second place had a different name added on their names.

Chang Huan’s gaze rested on An Zhan. “”Why didn’t you choose?””

“”The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly. I don’t think there are only two options.””

Chang Huan asked, “”But there are only two choices here. What are your answers?””

An Zhan shook his head. “”If there are only these two choices on the battlefield, then both of them will undoubtedly be defeated.””

What we, the soldiers of the Great Yan seek is not defeat, but victory in battle.

“”If I must choose one, I will give up. I would rather lose the qualifications to take the test than choose one.””

Just as Chang Huan was about to scold him, Xu Chao asked, “”Why do you think both of these choices are wrong?””

An Zhan raised his head and said in a clear voice, “”It is true that the duty of a soldier is to obey this. However, if one knows that the general is wrong, it is very likely that he will end up completely annihilated.””

At this time, if one couldn’t adjust their tactics in time and was defeated, then the total defeat would be tens of thousands of people, or even hundreds of thousands.

Therefore, if he were to blindly follow the commander, even if he did not violate the military law, he would still be a sinner.

Secondly, if a small group of people were gathered to fight according to their own thoughts, it would be equivalent to dividing up the fighting power of the team.

The commander-in-chief led a group of people to battle while the others led a group of people to battle. The best result would be to keep a small group of people safe, but the best result would never appear.

“”Seventy-eight out of ten, they were split apart and killed, but they were still completely wiped out.””

Xu Chao asked again, “”Then if it’s you, how do you choose?””

An Zhan took a deep breath, “”Kill the marshal.””

When he said these three words, the entire venue was filled with boos and exclamations of surprise.

The pen in Xu Chao’s hand paused for a moment. He raised his head and looked at An Zhe, “”What did you say just now?””

An Zhan replied seriously, “”To advise the marshal, but the marshal will not listen. If the assistant marshal and most of the generals think the marshal is wrong, the marshal can be detained and the deputy marshal can take over the position of marshal.””

But most of the time, the vice commander-in-chief did not have the guts to do so.

Furthermore, with the marshal being held in custody, the morale of the troops would be thrown into disarray.

“”Therefore, after killing the marshal and the marshal, the vice marshal didn’t have to worry about the majority of things anymore.””

Chang Huan laughed coldly, “”You think that you won’t be defeated just like that?””

“”It is common sense that you will still lose, but you may save more lives.””

“”If a marshal is stupid, then before the battle even started, he is doomed to lose.””

Chang Huan didn’t say anything as he turned to look at Xu Chao.

Xu Chao asked, “”But if you do that, what will happen to you?””

“”There is no doubt of death.””

After killing the marshal, even if I win, the vice commander-in-chief will most likely not take the responsibility of killing him. Of course, I will take the responsibility.

To be able to become a marshal, his family must be prominent, so he had to give an explanation to the marshal’s family.

Therefore, this question wasn’t about tactics and the quality of the soldiers, but about loyalty or disloyalty.

“”But I want to ask, if you are loyal, you will die … How cold will the question be?””

He looked at Chang Huan and Xu Chao, “”Why don’t you change this topic to how you should die?””

Everyone looked at each other in dismay. They were all stunned by the answer that An Zhe had found.

That’s right, no matter what we do, loyalty seems to be dead meat.

A blind subordinate of the commander-in-chief would die without a doubt.

Breaking up the team meant certain death.

Even if it was an answer given by An Zaiyue, he would still die for sure.

Chang Huan didn’t know how to answer the rhetorical questions and how to answer them, nor did Xu Chao know how to answer them. This was because the question itself was unanswerable.

In fact, from a personal point of view, you can be a deserter.

But on the battlefield, would deserters survive?

All of the examinees’ moods instantly turned downcast, and they no longer felt excited.

They didn’t know why they felt like they had lost the motivation to join the army at this moment.

They felt that everyone sitting here might be the corpses that would fall next to them in the future.

Seated at the front of the row, there were two female students. They seemed to be around sixteen to seventeen years old.

One of them looked sweet and cute with some baby fat on it.

The other was a beautiful almond face, with big eyes. It was the kind of girl who could tell at a glance that she was very outgoing.

When he entered the room a moment ago, he checked his identity one by one and found out that the sweet girl was called Ding Ningdong, while the outgoing girl was called Sang Rou.

Ding Ningdong looked at An Zeng with eyes full of curiosity, while Sang Rou’s eyes contained some strange things that were bright and shiny.

The surroundings were all filled with dejection, Chang Huan and Xu were at a loss as to how to salvage the situation.

An Zhan took a deep breath, then continued, “”That’s why there’s a Martial Arts Academy.””

Everyone was stunned for a moment before they looked up at An Zhe.

An Ying continued, “”The purpose of the Martial Arts Academy is to ensure that the army of Great Yan doesn’t have any crappy soldiers. They don’t have any inferior weapons.””

No one from the Martial Arts Academy would become the marshal of this topic.

Regardless of whether or not he would become a commander in the future, as long as he joined the army, he would always leave the Martial Arts Academy.

Therefore, in the future, there will absolutely not be any problems in the Great Swallow Army. “”

Xu Chao’s eyes lit up and Chang Huan’s expression relaxed.

The two of them looked at each other once more with relief in their eyes.

“”Sit down and rest for a while. Then, we can continue the questions later.””

Chang Huan waved to An Zaihai, then perhaps left the room in a mess.

Perhaps it was because they had been too repressed earlier, but the two of them also needed to take a breather.

The girl named Sang Rou suddenly stood up and walked to An Zeng. She stared at him with her big eyes and asked, “”Do you really think that the best way is to kill the marshal?””

An Zhan nodded, “”I think... yes.””

Sang Rou asked again, “”Why?””

She lowered her head and put her mouth close to An Zaihai’s ears. “”Don’t say the words’ loyal to the king ‘, I don’t believe it.””

An Zaiyue replied with a smile, “”No matter what, I am still going to die. Killing a commander-in-chief to exchange my life for mine, I don’t feel that I am at a disadvantage.””

Sang Rou looked as if she already knew what you were thinking, then turned around and walked back.

After a few steps she looked back. “”Remember my name, my name is Sang Rou, and I’m Sang Rou of Cong Bi Sang Rou.””
