Chapter 219 Zhao Yu Takes Charge of the Army
In front of the sand table, Zhang Yuan stood behind Zhao Yu.

Zhao Yu looked down at the sand table, his expression becoming more solemn.

In this round, she attacked the Red Dragon Temple as a martial artist.

Among the students, Master Gu and others, as well as Zhao Kuo and Sun Ze, were all standing opposite.

All the students admired Zhao Kuo's military skills, while Sun Ze was responsible for logistics.

The students on both sides were responsible for commanding the battle between the armies.

"The Red Dragon Temple has neither special terrain nor any major sects. If they are targeting this place, there must be a reason."

Zhao Yu whispered, pointing his finger at the location of the Red Dragon Temple.

"A Jade Buddha Bodhi seed? A magical weapon?" She shook her head. "These things aren't valuable enough to make bandits risk their lives to snatch them."

A reason is needed to storm into the Red Dragon Temple.

The yellow lion raised his head and looked at Zuoqiu Ren beside him.

"If you want a reason, I'll tell you the reason."

Outside the school, a voice was heard.

Everyone turned around and saw Ji Yuntang, the martial arts student in a green Confucian robe, and Sima Zhou Zhengtong in a black martial arts robe striding in.

"Master Ji Xue."

"Lord Sima."

Everyone bowed quickly.

"Some time ago, when we were suppressing bandits on the Black Ice Platform, we discovered a sacred place here."

Ji Yuntang walked to the sand table and spoke loudly.

"Also, He Jinquan, the Grand Elder of Yuanwu Sect, the most powerful figure in the martial arts world of Zhengyang County, was seriously injured in that battle and is now staying here to recuperate."

Spiritual place.

The Grand Elder of Yuanwu Sect was seriously injured.

These two pieces of information left all the students stunned.

"Everything we said today is confidential. If even a single word is leaked," Zhou Zhengtong said, his expression solemn as he swept his gaze over everyone, "we will be subject to military law."

Military punishment!

Everyone was instantly shocked and their faces became solemn.

This is not a military exercise, nor is it an ordinary assessment!

Everyone looked at the sand table in front of them again, and it suddenly looked different.

In the school, the military officers who came from the border troops and other armies for training showed a hint of excitement on their faces.

On the other side, the young man from the aristocratic family in the county government looked a little uneasy.

Actual combat is the strength of military officers and the weakness of children from aristocratic families.

"Master Sima, since this is an actual battle, I need information about the previous battle and information about this place. In addition, I also want information about the various sects in the martial arts world. Otherwise, this deduction cannot restore the actual battle."

Zhao Yu looked at Zhou Zhengtong.

Zhou Zhengtong glanced at Zhang Yuan and saw Zhang Yuan nod imperceptibly. Then he waved his hand and two soldiers stepped forward and took out a stack of prepared files.

Zhao Yu flipped through the files, his expression changing constantly.

The others also looked at the files, and then their eyes fell on the sand table in front of them.

"The spiritual land should be in the hands of the Great Qin government, and the only sect in the martial arts world that is interested in the spiritual land is the Qingxuan Dao Sect, which is not far from here."

Zhao Yu closed the book in his hand and spoke again, with a little more confidence in his eyes.

She pointed at the sand table in front of her and said, "The Grand Elder of Yuanwu Sect is seriously injured. If Qingxuan Dao Sect kills Grand Elder He, they can seize the position of the number one sect in Zhengyang County."

"From what I know, and from what is recorded in this volume, the Qingxuan Dao Sect can gather thousands of martial artists."

Zhao Yu planted small flags around the Chilong Temple.

"There are many Jianghu sects willing to join the Qingxuan Dao Sect in besieging and killing the Yuanwu Sect. The Qingxuan Dao Sect also seems to have some relationship with the Qingzhu Gang."

"Jianghu people are not good at battle formations, nor do they know how to fight in formations. All they need to do is occupy the area around the Red Dragon Temple, and then the strong ones will rush in to kill Elder He."

"As for the county government's arrangements, once He Jinquan dies, the various factions in the martial arts world will disperse, and it's likely that nothing will come of it in the end."

Zhao Yu quickly analyzed the situation and saw through it. She planted flags on the hill and then looked across at Master Gu and the others.

"As long as we can hold you back for three hours, we will retreat."

"If we can't kill He Jinquan in three hours, we won't do it."

Three hours.

The expressions of Master Gu and others changed.

Zhou Sima and Ji Yuntang looked at each other, their eyes flashing.

The final result of this deduction was that the Qingxuan Taoist sect used its three major sects as its main force, and the scattered gang members of a large underworld gang held back the county army and eventually killed He Jinquan.

"I don't know whether He Jinquan must recuperate in the Chilong Temple. If he must go, he will definitely die." Zhao Yu summarized this battle.

There was silence in the school.

"So, what if you were the one attacking?"

Zhang Yuan's voice rang out from behind Zhao Yu.

Everyone's eyes were on Zhang Yuan.

Zhao Yu turned his head and looked at Zhang Yuan. After a moment's hesitation, he whispered, "You can use any power and think of any method?"

Zhang Yuan nodded.

Seeing Zhang Yuan nod, Zhao Yu smiled.

"Isn't that simple?"

"I'm afraid this combat test was launched by the Zhengyang County Government to suppress the martial arts world, right?"

"Then He Jinquan is just bait, and the spiritual land is also bait. The purpose is to destroy the Qingxuan Dao Sect, to clean up the martial arts world in Zhengyang County, and to prepare for the future confrontation with Beiyan, ahem..."

Zhao Yu's voice echoed in the school.

Everyone listened quietly.

They dare not think.

Is it true that everything was planned by the county government?
From the deduction just now, it is clear that the county army cannot attack Chilong Ridge in three hours, and all plans have failed.

But from what Zhao Yu said at this time, it was a practical assessment and the county government wanted to suppress the martial arts world.

Since the county government took the initiative, there is no reason for it to fail.

Zhou Zhengtong looked at Zhao Yu with a serious expression.

"Master Zhao, if you were to command the central army during this combat assessment, would you be confident that you could defeat the bandits?"

Sitting in the center of the army?

Zhao Yu didn't understand it at first, and said with a smile: "That's not easy-"

As soon as she said this, she already felt something was wrong and a look of surprise appeared on her face.

"Master Sima means that during this actual combat against the bandits, I will be stationed in the center of the army and command the entire force?"

The battle that will determine the fate of the martial arts world in Zhengyang County, and she, Zhao Yu, will be the one to lead it?

This concerns the lives and deaths of tens of thousands of people and the overall situation of the Zhengyang County underworld.

Is she qualified?

Subconsciously, she turned to look at Zhang Yuan.

Zhang Yuan's expression was calm.

"For the next two weeks, we will be conducting daily military formation and combat exercises, and martial artists will also be present to practice actual combat." Zhou Zhengtong's gaze swept over everyone. "The Black Ice Platform and the Wuwei Yamen will compile information daily, and the garrison troops will arrange for soldiers to accompany you in training."

"From now on, everyone will live and eat at the martial arts school and are not allowed to go out."

Looking up at Zhao Yu, who was hesitant to speak, Zhou Zhengtong turned his gaze to Zhang Yuan: "Zhang Shijiu, if Young Master Zhao wants to return home to make arrangements, you must accompany him throughout the journey."

After Zhou Zhengtong, Ji Yuntang and others left, the originally quiet school suddenly became lively.

Who wouldn’t be excited to be able to personally participate in such a big event?

"What a grand gesture! I wonder which official in the county government made the decision to suppress the martial arts world."

"Damn it, it's going to be a huge scene. I'm afraid most of the martial arts world in Zhengyang County will be mobilized. By then, it's going to be a huge fight around Red Dragon Ridge..."
