Chinese animation: Starting with Bad Guys

He doesn't have a penchant for spanking.

So, just a token gesture will suffice.

A crisp sound reached Zhu Youzhen's ears, and he gave a distorted laugh:

"My mother said that the best punishment is a spanking..."

Inside the tent, Zhong Xiao Kui clutched her buttocks, her face flushed and filled with disbelief.

She hadn't expected that Qin Chuan wouldn't use a whip, but instead would use his hands directly.

Although it was only a single blow, and not much force was used, it gave Zhong Xiao Kui a strange feeling.

This feeling is hard to describe; it's like pain, yet also like enjoyment.

"Lord Zhong Kui, aren't you getting up yet? Haven't you had enough of being beaten?"

Qin Chuan chuckled.

He discovered that Zhong Xiao Kui seemed to have some masochistic tendencies; indeed, the people of the Xuanming Sect were all abnormal.

Of course, he and Shi Yao have to be excluded.

"Your Excellency, Grand Preceptor... I, Xiao Kui, take my leave."

Zhong Xiao Kui got up, covered her face and left, making it impossible to see her expression.

Seeing her come out, Zhu Youzhen then entered the tent, shaking his head and saying:

"Why don't you play a little longer?"

If it were him, he would never stop until he had whipped Zhong Xiaokui's buttocks dozens of times.

"The important matter comes first."

Qin Chuan said in a very serious tone:

"Did you think I withdrew my troops just so you could win your gamble?"

"Isn't that so?"

Zhu Youzhen looked puzzled; he genuinely believed it to be so.

"Of course not."

Qin Chuan said in a profound and enigmatic way:

"I'm planning to besiege the enemy's stronghold and then attack their reinforcements."

"Between the enemy stronghold and strike at their reinforcements?"

Zhu Youzhen looked bewildered. He recognized all four characters, but he couldn't understand them when they were put together.

"The Luzhou we besieged is the stronghold, and the troops Li Cunxu transferred from Shangdang, Tunliu, and Huguan are the reinforcements. Do you understand?"

Qin Chuan had no choice but to give this military illiterate a detailed explanation.

"I understand! The Imperial Advisor is truly remarkable!"

Zhu Youzhen was so impressed that he kept praising it.

In fact, Qin Chuan wasn't lying to him.

Besides eliminating the bad apples in the Liang army, another objective of the Battle of Luzhou was to strike at the Jin army.

At dawn, the garrisons of Shangdang, Tunliu, and Huguan, as arranged by Li Cunxu, came to harass the Liang army camp.

Qin Chuan left behind a portion of his troops to rest early in the morning, and they charged out from the shadows with great vigor, routing the garrison troops in the three locations and leaving them in disarray.

By the time daylight broke, the Liang army camp was filled with thousands, if not tens of thousands, of Jin soldiers' corpses.

"How did he do that?"

Zhong Xiao Kui led the group to clean up the corpses, her face filled with disbelief.

She always thought Qin Chuan knew nothing about military strategy.

But now it seems that Qin Chuan not only understands military strategy, but is actually a master of military strategy.

Just as Zhong Xiaokui's opinion of Qin Chuan was beginning to change, he ordered the Liang army to launch a major attack on the city.

This time, he left no troops behind and committed all of Liang's army to the attack.

Moreover, the attack was carried out with an even distribution of troops from all four sides, without a clear main direction of attack.

This is simply committing every major taboo in military strategy!

Zhong Xiaokui shook her head repeatedly at such a foolish tactic, believing that Qin Chuan's victory last night was just a lucky fluke.

Fortunately, the Liang army had a significant numerical advantage, and after suffering nearly four times the casualties of the Jin army, they finally managed to capture Luzhou City.

Qin Chuan and Zhu Youzhen rode together, leading the remaining less than 20,000 Liang troops to Luzhou City.

From afar, they saw a man standing like a lone warrior beneath the city gate.

It was Li Xingyun.

He couldn't bear to see Luzhou suffer a massacre because of him, so he came to walk right into the trap.

Chapter 57 Nothing more than handsome!

"I have won this round again!"

Zhu Youzhen looked at Li Xingyun and smiled smugly:

"Seize Li Xingyun for me!"

Zhong Xiao Kui made a move instantly, using her unique weapon, the Dark Water Silk, to tightly bind Li Xingyun.

Li Xingyun neither dodged nor flinched, but stared fiercely at Qin Chuan and questioned him:

"If I hadn't come, would you really have allowed Zhu Youzhen to massacre the city?"

"This question is meaningless, I refuse to answer it."

Qin Chuan remained calm and composed as he met Li Xingyun's gaze.

If Li Xingyun doesn't come, he's not Li Xingyun.

Therefore, Li Xingyun's question is completely meaningless.

"I just want to live a carefree life, why are you forcing me!"

Li Xingyun was furious.

He finally had a few days of peace, only to be drawn into the world's conflicts again.

"Am I forcing you?"

Qin Chuan smiled silently.

He didn't force Li Xingyun to do anything; it was entirely Yuan Tiangang's fault.

However, he was too lazy to explain and simply ignored Li Xingyun.

"What the hell! How dare you get angry at our Imperial Advisor?"

Zhu Youzhen, however, was displeased and gave a heavy snort:

"A prisoner should act like a prisoner! Kneel down before me!"

Li Xingyun gritted his teeth and knelt on the ground, fearing that Zhu Youzhen would be enraged and massacre the city.

Only then did he realize that without the protection of Yuan Tiangang and other scoundrels, he was nothing.

"Hmm, let me think about it..."

Zhu Youzhen still seemed unsatisfied, stroking her chin as she considered how to torment Li Xingyun.

"It's time to go. Li Cunxu will soon lead his army back to fight his way back."

Qin Chuan spoke up at the opportune moment.

Although he felt nothing for Li Xingyun at this time, he also didn't dislike him, so naturally he wouldn't let him continue to be humiliated.

"Yes, we've got Li Xingyun. Only a fool would continue fighting him!"

Zhu Youzhen was completely obedient to Qin Chuan, and would fight wherever he was told.

If Li Xingyun had treated Yuan Tiangang the same way, the chaotic era would probably have ended long ago.

It was quite some time after Liang Jun's grand procession had departed that Li Cunxu finally arrived with reinforcements.

"Li Siyuan has ruined me!"

Looking at the corpses scattered on the ground and the wide-open city gates, Li Cunxu threw the mask to the Mirror Heart Demon beside him, revealing a face full of anger.

He pleaded and analyzed the pros and cons before finally obtaining troops from Li Siyuan.

If Li Siyuan had been more decisive, he wouldn't have ended up empty-handed.

"In this battle, the Liang army lost more than 80,000 soldiers, which shows that Qin Chuan is nothing but a hollow name. Your Highness is truly wise and mighty!"

Jingxinmo fawned over him, showering him with obsequious flattery.

"What do you know!"

Li Cunxu snorted coldly:

"He did it on purpose!"

How do you know?

Upon hearing this, Mirror Heart Demon was taken aback, seemingly quite puzzled:

"Judging from the battle reports brought back by the scouts, he committed almost all the cardinal sins of military strategy that he should not have made..."

"This alone is enough to show that he has a considerable understanding of military strategy!"

Li Cunxu put on a brand new mask and calmly analyzed the situation.

How could one person make so many mistakes at the same time?

Unless, he did it on purpose.

"Although I don't know why, he intentionally sent Liang Jun to his death."
