The second round of assessment actually used paper and pen to draw the topographic map of their arrival.

This is unexpected for all candidates.

They just thought they were asking them to write something, or to have some skills in the future.

In the end, he just asked him to draw a topographic map.

"How to calculate the topographic map?"

“What is the topographic map?”

"Why do you need to take such a test?"

"It's over. Before I came, I had memorized a few important military and political principles. I thought... I didn't expect..."

As soon as Li Ke finished speaking, the more than 700 candidates present who participated in the assessment were all confused at this moment.

All kinds of arguments and embarrassed expressions were expressed in them.

Li Ke was stunned when he looked at the assessment questions in his hand.

He didn't know about the second assessment question in advance.

I didn't expect that it would be a terrain map.

Of course, for a general, the most basic quality is to look at the topographic map and draw the topographic map.

If the person who leads the war can't even understand the topographic map, isn't that really a talk on paper?

But for these ordinary people who have never been exposed to topographic maps, isn’t it a bit too difficult?

"Brother, do you think they have this ability?" Li Ke walked to Zhao Chen and asked him in a low voice.

In Li Ke's opinion, it is thankful that these more than 700 candidates can draw a topographic map.

Topographic maps are the current generals of the Tang Dynasty, and few of them can draw professional topographic maps.

"Just ask them to draw a topographic map. As for what they are like, that doesn't matter." Zhao Chen said lightly, looking at the candidates in front of him.

Some candidates have started writing at this moment.

Some people were full of anger, and they thought Zhao Chen was deliberately making things difficult for them.

They have never been exposed to these things, so how can they draw terrain maps?

It is clear that Zhao Chen doesn’t want to accept them into Chang'an Military Academy.

"It's not important?" Li Ke was a little surprised.

"Didn't the emperor ask them to draw a topographic map?"

"Isn't it just that I want to test their military talents?" Li Ke asked Zhao Chen, but he was puzzled.

It was clearly the topic that Zhao Chen himself asked them to draw a topographic map.

But why did Zhao Chen say that drawing a topographic map is not important?

"A large part of them has never even entered the school. If they were asked to draw a topographic map, how could they draw it?"

"The emperor knows this, but still..." Li Ke was about to speak, but was interrupted by Zhao Chen.

"That candidate, throw him out." Zhao Chen pointed to a candidate with a wandering gaze in front and said to the yamen runner beside him.

The yamen runner was stunned for a moment, walked to the candidate and took him out of the examination room.

The candidates were still struggling, and everyone was watching him.

Zhao Chen didn't say a word.

"Chang'an Military Academy can teach anything. They are still young and have time to do anything."

"But if you don't even have the courage to try, it's better to go home and farm as soon as possible." Zhao Chen looked at the candidate who was dragged out and said slowly to Li Ke.

Li Ke was slightly stunned, but at this moment he had already reacted.

This second assessment actually does not require these candidates to really draw the terrain.

What Zhao Chen wants is that they will execute their orders seriously.

Rather than complaining and opportunism.

Li Ke looked at the more than 700 people in front of him and couldn't help but wonder, how many people could understand Zhao Chen's true thoughts.

If he had been sitting down, would he have thought of what Zhao Chen meant?

Li Ke shook his head with a wry smile.

He was sure that he could not guess what Zhao Chen meant.

...

As time passed slowly, Cheng Chumo brought the soldiers to bring lunch.

Cheng Chumo was also very strange. He just drew a terrain map, why did it take so long?

More importantly, Zhao Chen did not give the final time for the candidates.

Should I sit here like this today?

"Little Li Zi, what's going on?"

"Why isn't it over yet? Just draw a topographic map!" Cheng Chumo pulled Li Ke to the side and asked in a low voice.

Li Ke and Cheng Chumo shook their heads and did not speak.

"Lunch time is up. Students who have completed the topographic map can have lunch now." Zhao Chen suddenly spoke and pointed to the ox cart used to pick up food.

The candidates were a little upset.

I stayed here for a whole morning and thought for a while. They were already hungry and pressed against their backs.

Many people were salivating when they smelled the aroma of the food in the bucket.

But no one dared to stand up first.

When they came, they all did a lot of homework.

I know that the dean of Chang'an Military Academy has a very strange personality and must not be judged by common sense.

Li Zhi's throat was so hungry that he felt tight.

The topographic map in front of him was painted like a ghost drawing talisman.

Where can he draw any terrain map?

But there was no way, he didn't dare to hand over a piece of white paper, otherwise Zhao Chen wouldn't deal with him.

Now that Li Zhi was moved when he heard Zhao Chen say he could have lunch.

This is the world, and the food is the most important.

But what Li Zhi was worried about was that Zhao Chen had another trick for him.

After hesitating for a long time, Li Zhi still did not dare to take action.

However, Zhao Chen stopped talking and greeted Cheng Chumo, Li Ke and others, as well as a group of yamen runners for lunch.

The yamen runners were also too much, and they stood next to the examinees holding their bowls and chopsticks and started eating.

The strong aroma of the meal made the candidates even more hungry.

"Dean, I want to have a meal!" A candidate suddenly stood up, picked up the sloppy topographic map in front of him and shouted with Zhao Chen.

"Ship the topographic map and get the dishes and chopsticks by yourself." Zhao Chen pointed to the table in front of him.

The candidate hesitated for a moment, suddenly gritted his teeth and placed the topographic map on the table in front of Zhao Chen.

Then he picked up the bowls and chopsticks that had been placed on the side and served the meal on his own.

With the first person to eat crabs, Li Zhi could not bear it.

The second person picked up the topographic map in front of him and handed it to the table in front of Zhao Chen, and resolutely had a meal.

In Li Zhi's opinion, even if he was beaten to death by Zhao Chen later, he had to have a full meal first.

With the second one, then the third one and the fourth one…

More and more candidates are getting up and handing in their papers for dinner.

There will be no more left in the bowls and chopsticks placed on the table soon.

Pei Xingjian was shocked when he looked at the fewer and fewer dishes on the stage.

He took the topographic map that he had considered countless times and handed it to Zhao Chen.

Then he snatched the last few dishes and successfully ate the meal.

The last pair of bowls and chopsticks was taken away by a candidate.

There were more than 400 candidates in the examination room without moving.

When the candidates handed in the paper and wanted to have a meal, they found that there were no dishes and chopsticks.

"Zhao Da, there are no more dishes, why don't I ask someone to take them?" Cheng Chumo saw the candidate standing in the distance with some embarrassment, and asked Zhao Chen.

Zhao Chen put down his bowls and chopsticks and looked at the hundreds of candidates who were still alive in front of him.

"Today's assessment is over, you can all go back."
