And now to declare war on peacefu l sitden . "

(M usic)

Majestéat, l u nderstand you .

I suggested you go to war yesterday with S u n and Li u .

Are you ready to g ive the order? - Pri me M in ister,

You have j ust defeated the H u ns . Ou r army and the popu lation ...

need a time of peace . - Both clai m power.

They rebel agai nst you and plan Béses .

And if you don't get rid of them q u ickly, you r proud E m pire H an ...

maybe soon they'l l be you rs . - l know that. l th i n k about it.

So leave me some ti me . - H ow long do you want to tb i n k?

The army was in the north and also i n Si uden . M any sold iers lost their l ives .

We want to consol idate tbe H an E m pi re agai n . Do you remem ber you r exi le?

H as anyone done anyth i ng at cou rt to save you?

I d id n't fig ht the traitors

today who wou ld l i ke to cal l each other bow many "ru lers" and "king" .

I order Cao Cao to take com mand of the l m perial Army.

To destroy tbe rebels Liu Bei and S u n Quan .

Than k you , You r M ajesty!

"The h uge i m perial army streams to Suaden i n long day and n ig ht marches

and ru ns the capital where Liu Bei ru les . "

(M usic)

"Liu Beis' hopelessly i nferior army is fig hti ng i n a field i n front of the city

agai nst tbe i ntrusion of Cao Cao's troops .

Liu Bei's most loyal general ...

wants to save thousands of farmers i n a brutal massacre .

Lie Bei watches tbe fleeing . "

Forg ive me , si r. Pardon me . You r wife is sti l l in the vi l lage with you r son .

General zhang ! - Wbat is? H ow is the situation ?

Cao Cao's army is too strong . The riders form tbe vang uard ...

and wi l l be here any moment. They wi ll attack us in a wedge formation .

To defend ou rselves , we shou ld bl ind them witb l ig ht.

We have to stop them for 2 bou rs so that ou r ru ral popu lation can flee .

We need a second l i ne of defense ! - Leave it to me !

Lord forg ive ! - Kong m i ng .

The farmers' rick train takes a long ti me . You wi l l sti l l need 4 hou rs .

We need 1 , 000 sold iers to strengtben zhang 's army,

otherwise they wi l l overru n us . The farmers have to help themselves .

Cao Cao wants to su bj ugate people , he won't ki l l them .

B ut that is not possi ble . Cbeck it out. Tbese hel pless people .

You need ou r hel p . - Wben it comes to someth i ng so big ,

then one shou ld forego h u man feel i ngs .

You belong to the people of the H an E m pi re . They don't want to be su bj ugated .

If l can't protect the people , what was the poi nt of tbe resistance strugg le?

Well ! Attack!

M istress ! - General Cao .

H e is my h usband's on ly ch i ld .

It m ust not fal l i nto their hands ! - Get on tbe borse q u ickly, come .

H u rry u p , E uch l !

M istress !

(M usic)

Tu rn sh ields over!

Attack!

(M usic)

So let's go!

(M usic)

General Cao! - zhao Yu n !

Rack pu l l ! - We can sti l l fig ht!

Shou ld we just g ive u p? - They are su perior!

If we can not sbave the peasants , ou r defeat wi l l be even g reater.

Defend tbe people ! Tbose who refuse wi l l be executed .

General G uan ! Let's get out of here q u ickly! - S h it on ou r farmers !

Take Liu Bei's son to safety! - Defend the Peasants and Rickzug !

(M usic)

A report. Li u Bei's army has collapsed and is fig hti ng .

Leave h i m i ntact!

Liu Bei keeps losi ng . N evertheless , h is brave warriors fol low h i m .

O ne day l 'll make her fol low me .

M r.

I was able to save you r son .

B ut. . . but you r wife ...

Al l rig ht. Come on , get u p , zhao Yu n .

Th is is not my worst defeat. Cao Cao th in ks

he cou ld ru le the whole em pi re . B ut as long as l 'm al ive

l defend myself and do not al low h i m to matu re the Han Dynasty.

Dear S i r, l am travel i ng to the Sitden and ask S u n Quan for hel p .

Su n Quan ? ls that advisable? l don't know if he has the cou rage

to fig bt agai nst a powerfu l opponent l i ke Cao Cao .

Yes , Su n Quan is very you ng . B ut be also has very b ig h goals .

H is army is strong . They have the options

wag i ng a war agai nst Cao Cao . N ot on ly do we need con nected people .

H e needs us l i ke we need h i m . lf we can do it together,

Defeati ng Cao Cao wi ll retreat to the nortb .

Then there is a balance of power.

With Cao Cao i n the north and Su n Quan i n Sitden .

Th is is the on ly way to l im it Cao Cao's lust for power.

Prime M i n ister Li u Bei's army has withd rawn to the Yangtze River. l'm afraid ,

if there is a bond between Li u Bei and Su n Quan , that cou ld mean ...

l wi l l be very happy. Because Su n Quan goes i nto such bl u nderi ng ,

he su pports rebels and rebels agai nst i m perial ru le .

So war agai nst h i m was j ustified .

Liu Bei comes from an im perial fam i ly, but g rew u p poor.

H e bas fai led al l h is l ife . And S u n Quan is an u pstart.

H e bas no h ig ber goals .

When a loser and a loser make an al l iance ,

what can tbe two do?

I g rapb you .

I heard ,

Liu Bei suffered a heavy defeat in a battle agai nst Cao Cao .

Yes , Li u Bei has a good heart. He d id not want to leave beh i nd sirens and farmers .

Th is bas ham pered the army. - H ow strong is Cao Cao's army?

There are a total of 800 ,000 men on land and water. They are com i ng .

Cao Cao's goal is not Liu Bei , but you r em pi re i n the Siaden .

Cao Cao has appoi nted h i mself " Pri me M i n ister" . He has the em peror i n h is hand .

And g ives orders in h is name . Shou ld be still conq uer the S i uden ,

he wi l l matu re tbe ru le . - Don't go to war.

The most i m portant th ing is to protect ou r people and to keep tbe peace .

It may not have been bad for you if you will su rrender.

Because that wou ld mean , you , the m i n isters, cou ld stay al ive .

Maybe Cao Cao wou ld be forg ivi ng and you cou ld contin ue to ru le .

So why go to war? - Am l weaker than Liu Bei?

B ut no . You are an exceptional , excel lent leader.

You are l i ke my master Liu Bei & . B ut you govern a very large area ,

in wb ich many people l ive . Th is proves that you are m uch stronger than Li u Bei .

Dear S i r. Kong m ing bas a plan to defeat Cao Cao .

Maybe you shou ld l isten to h i m fi rst, dear sir.

My lord bas been defeated . B ut he stil l has the general G uan Yu ,

Zhang Fei and zhao Yu n witb 1 0 , 000 men . l n a bond with you r...

Outstand i ng army of the Sud wil l tu rn ou r weakness i nto a strong one .

Cao Cao fl ies over a strong army, but most of h is sold iers ...

are not loyal to h im . You bave not got used to tbe cl i mate i n Stiden .

You can not fig ht on the water. A hasty attack wou ld be su icide .

We wil l wi n ! We wi ll win ! We wi l l win !

It al l sou nds very convi ncing . - Dear S i r.

Don't fal l for Kong m i ng's game ! - To wage war agai nst Cao Cao ,

there is no reason at all !

We wil l wi n ! We will wi n ! We wil l wi n ! We will wi n !

Dear S i r, l am3 you are someone who h ides b is abi l ities .

Waiti ng for the rig bt moment. And now you have to d raw the sword .

H e wants to destroy ou r ki ngdom ! You m ustn't get i nvolved !

Be silent at last! l 've heard you r tal k a tbousand times!

G ive me a l ittle time to th i n k, then l 'l l make a decision .

"Rid i ng on 6 kites , the wi nd carries me forward .

Al l ki ngdoms u n ited u nder one sky."

(M usic)

The S i uden is parad ise . lt's a shame tbat everytb i ng si n ks to ru bble

when Cao Cao's army comes here . - You have al most convi nced the Lord .

To make a gang , l have to convi nce someone else .

General zhou Yu? - Correct. Fi r Su n Quan is l i ke a brother.

And the last ru ler, S u n Quan's father, said : O n matters out of the bl ue ...

you sbou ld ask zbou Yu for advice . - We are looki ng for h i m .

(M usic)

Formation !

Another wi ng was not bad .

Wild goose formation . N ot bad .

Somewhat old-fash ioned , l th in k.

You're welcome !

(M usic)

G ive it to me .

G racious S ir...

H ere , try it now!

(M usic)

Than k you !

General zhou . H ere is a g uest. M r. Kong m i ng . - l cou nt you .

Very pleased . Su bjects? lt's pretty cool !

I want to keep a head , that's why. l can't stop

You don't make an u ncontrol led i m pression .

You're welcome .

Why sm i le? - Pu re ad m iration . Then noth ing .

You r sold iers are not on ly good warriors , they also appreciate the m usic.

Do you know tbe art of formation ? - Someth i ng .

Is my formation outdated?

I also ad m i re you ! You have ears l i ke a lynx!

I have a good heari ng !

General Gan . M r. Kong m i ng says you r formation is "a bit out of date" .

It depends on how you use them . A formation can never be outdated .

Th is is . . . - Th is is General Gan Xi ng .

G ive it to me ! Aren't you goi ng to bold a spear? So ! M uch more excitement!

Come on , agai n !

H is men were feared pi rates . You sbou ld n't be joki ng with them .

Al l rig ht! - l 'm sorry, General Gan !

(M usic)

M r. zhou , the situation is very dangerous . War or Peace?

M r. Lu S u , we're not tal king about pol itics now. - Well .

You know a lot about m usic. Do we want to make m usic together?

I u nderstand very l ittle of it, l . . . - N o, very m uch .

B ut you l i ke to b ide you r skil ls . - That wou ld be good .

If you two cou ld work together, a g reat work wou ld be created .

(M usic)

D id you paint th is pictu re? - You r name is xiao Qiao .

When l was you ng , her father val ued my ski l ls at G berau .

I on ly saw her once .

I heard that it has become an extraord i nary beauty.

She married zbou Yu .

After my victory over the south , Xiao Qiao wil l be m ine .

(M usic)

Why do we go We have not yet d iscussed ou r concerns .

We don't have to . He answered with the m usic. He'l l fig ht.

Who wou ld have tboug bt tbat my brotber wou ld end th is war...

just want to d rive because of a woman .

It seems tbat th is war can no longer be prevented .

We can not prevent the invasion . We can on ly answer that with war.

May worse be avoided !

Why do you write "peace" so often?

"Peace" is in that case ...

There shou ld be a name for fiar.

Come bere . Do you bear someth ing

H & 6r rig ht there !

(zhou Yu b u ms)

(M usic)

I n tbe cam p , women and cb i ld ren are said to soon be leavi ng Red Cl iff.

And me? When shou ld i go

l wi l l not let you go . l want you to stay witb me

(M usic)

Cao Cao has appoi nted h i mself " Pri me M i n ister" ...

(M usic)

My decision bas been made . l fig ht l ife and death agai nst Cao Cao .

And wbo shou ld speak of "devoted" here is l i ke th is table !

Zhou Yu ! Cheng Pu ! Lu Su l !

H ere ! - Kneel down !

Zhou Yu becomes com mander in ch ief. Cheng Pu is h is deputy.

And Lu S u m il itary advisor. We made a bond witb Liu Bei .

We were at war witb Cao Cao . - At you r com mand !

(M usic)

I am here ! - Wbat do you want here? To go to war.

To go to war? War is not a fu n game .

Women are also responsible for the fate of the cou ntry.

The horses too! - Th is is ...

lt is S u n Quan's sister, Princess Su n Shangxiang .

H ave you foug ht in a battle? - There's always a first ti me .

After my fi rst war l wished never to see one aga in .

I want to be there wben the fig ht starts tomorrow!

H ey Wait!

O nce agai n ! Come on !

"Beautifu l you ng women . . . " - " Beautifu l you ng women . . . "

"Are the d reams of men . " - " . . . are the d reams of men" .

Why do we learn? We have no food . - You 'l l u nderstand that someday.

You learn someth i ng today so that you have enoug h to eat i n the futu re .

General Cao! - M r. Kong m i ng , you are back!

The com mander-i n-ch ief of tbe bou r, zhou Yu !

Be crad led , Li u Bei ! - l cou nt you , gentlemen !

Su n Quan bas a bond with us . - l than k h i m for that!

Con nected are friends and can do without al l formal ities .

Al low me a q uestion . How many men do you have? - 30 , 000 .

30 , 000I? Th is is too l ittle . - Do you tb i n k we're too weak?

You on ly suffered defeats . - Wbat battles have you won?

I n any case , we're better than eternal losers l i ke you .

You j ust want to save you r own skin ! - Be q u iet! S h ut you r mouth !

Zhang Fei !

So we don't go bl i nd . So we become enem ies . What do you say

Th is is braided very tig htly.

A blade of g rass is easy to ri p . B raided together, tbey are strong .

You have g reat leaders and warriors . We from the h idden have the wi ll

to defend the home . We all want to do ou r best.

I have on ly one wish . And everyone shou ld share that with me .

Al l are there for eacb other and stick together.

Then nobody can tear us apart.

Forg ive me , si r. A messenger from the S i udens asks for an aud ience .

Su n Quan got my letter? What is h is answer?

You broug ht a blan k sbeet? What shou ld that heal?

Of cou rse , that sbou ld mean that they absol utely want war.

And every fu rther word is not necessary. Take away! And heads !

(M usic)

Let us remem ber ou r fi rst hero .

Cao Cao ki lled ou r messenger regard less of h u man ity.

H e wants to weaken ou r wi ll to fig ht! B ut he can't do it.

I waited a long time for th is day.

Zhou Yu loves the battle on water. Cai M ao and zhang Yu n ,

you can bard ly wait, can you? Sai l u priver witb you r fleet.

Cai Mao has a very strong fleet. Cu rrent and wi nd d i rection hel p b i m .

They attack us from tbe water. - Yes . When do we leave?

Tomorrow morn ing ! - H e's attacking ton ig bt.

N o! Th is even i ng !

Can he really be that fast? - H is strategy heals speed .

At the battle of xinye , h is 5 , 000 riders got i n 3 days

Covered more than 250 ki lometers and su rprised ou r army.

Prisoners of war form the vang uard . Tbose he trusts stay beh i nd .

Cao Hong and zhang Liao , you d rive the fleet and form the rearg uard .

Xia Houju n and Wei Ben . You lead the rider army and cover the fleet.

And wbere is you r mai n target?

Exactly here .

You cbose Red Cl iff for exercises because you knew what was goi ng to happen .

B ut my formation is "Obsolete" . - l know someone who is m uch older.

The tu rtle formation . lt real ly is Gaberholt.

It is q u ite old . But when used correctly, it is extremely effective .

When tbey th i n k l 'm using the fleet, Zhou Yu and Kong m i ng were very stu pid .

Ou r fleet on ly serves to d istract the enemy. - To com mand !

Xia Houju n and Wei Ben , you carry out a su rprise attack with 2 , 000 riders .

The land forces are h is strength . Will he attack from water tben?

What are you th i n ki ng about?

H e never com m u n icates h is true i ntentions to h is generals and su bord inates .

(M usic)

Stop!

Report! There is no sig n of the Army of the South on tbe Red Cl iff.

N ot even civi l ians ! - So there are on ly tu rtles left bere?

Th is is probably an am bush ! - l 'm not afraid of g irls!

(M usic)

Lops !

(M usic)

Sh ield together!

Good trap! The tu rtle formation is by no means outdated .

Form the formation !

(M usic)

We are trapped . l feared that!

(M usic)

Forward , break the formation ! - Yes .

(M usic)

Attack! Attack!

(M usic)

Attack!

(M usic)

We break the ri ng . - l want to kil l th is zhou Yu !

(M usic)

Tu rn arou nd ! - Tu rn arou nd !

Come on !

(M usic)

General !

(M usic)

Come on !

Attack!

(M usic)

Wonderfu l ! Wonderfu l !

Go away!

(M usic)

A report! General . Cao Cao's fleet is on the way to the Red Cl iff.

Sorry, but we're lost. - The land forces were never defeated .

Th is is an insig n ificant defeat. There is no need to get excited .

H ow d id you manage to see th roug h my real i ntentions?

There , see . We come by water, but they don 't send anyth ing to us .

They don't do anyth ing to defend them . l nstead , they attack ou r riders .

That means they are well prepared .

We m ust not u nderesti mate these wi ld hordes .

That means we can attack them from the water.

The sold iers are su pposed to relax and prepare for battle on the water.

We wil l cross the river sooner or later.

I 'm looki ng forward to writing a poem on the rocks .

We set u p cam p there .

O pposite tbe Red Cl iff.

(M usic)

So many sh i ps ! That is an enormous amou nt of wood .

As fi rewood that wou ld last 1 00 years . - H ow can we ever defeat them ?

Cao Cao is said to have 800 , 000 men . Tbat seems to be true .

So what? We fended off thei r attack witb the tu rtle formation .

Correct! lf he loses speed , he also loses h is su periority.

What do you tb i n k? - Cao Cao d id n't attack with the fleet.

H is riders su rprisi ng ly attacked us from beh i nd . There was an error.

That heals, he will change the strategy and put it on h is fleet.

These 2 ,000 men sbou ld on ly find out how strong we are .

B ut we don't know the enemy wel l enoug b . We have to wait for h is attack.

(M usic)

I m ig bt be able to do someth i ng for the wou nded .

And? H ow do you l ike my association? - l 'm wrapped u p l ike a rice cake !

Cao Cao's army isn 't that hard to defeat, is it?

It wil l be very d ifficu lt. H e is a good com mander.

H e uses every means to wi n . - H e is a good com mander.

B ut be bas no friends . As for that, you have noth i ng to fear from h i m .

(M usic)

Tu rn to the other side .

(M usic)

A strange fleet formation . - Every formation has its weakness .

The q uestion is whetber we can fi nd out. - That shou ld n't be d ifficu lt.

(M usic)

Very good !

More q u ickly!

The g uys are getting smarter. - S i nce Cao Cao i ntrod uced th is ball game ,

ou r men are m uch more powerfu l .

U n lock! U n lock!

(M usic)

I n with b i m . Bring b i m i n there . Fast.

(M usic)

O pen u p !

(M usic)

As fast as tbe wi nd .

You're rig ht, zbou Yu 's army is smal l . He is defi n itely goi ng other ways .

H e doesn't attack us bead-on . - H e bas at the mouth of the 3 Fl isse ...

won a victory. H e doesn't work with deceptions, he attacks us d irectly.

And as gentle as the forest.

H ow can ou r fleet ach ieve another g lorious victory?

That is enti rely in the hands of ou r two excel lent generals .

We swear ou r eternal loyalty!

Relentless l ike fi re .

And hard as tbe rock.

You hate war, but you q uote "The Art of Warfare"?

I wou ld l i ke to know what you th i n k. That's wby l 'm read i ng you r m i l itary books .

1 , 000 m i l itary books are noth i ng com pared to a bowl of you r tea .

It makes me bappy if you enjoy my tea .

So su re how you wielded you r sword

do you th i n k l al ready have a strategy for tbe war agai nst Cao Cao .

If we invite h im to tea and not warfare ,

l cou ld on ly tal k about the weather, l thoug ht that was very n ice !

H e doesn't u nderstand m uch of tbe art of the tea ceremony.

The sold iers are not getting used to the cl i mate . You have been at war for years .

And physical ly exhausted . That is why typhoid spreads so q u ickly.

Is Typhoid Cu rable? - Yes , it is cu rable .

B ut it can take some ti me .

H ow many are dead so far? - There are now over 1 00 .

There wi l l be more i n a few days . - We have to bu ry these dead i m med iately.

Don't bu ry, bu rn . Tb is is the on ly way to stop the spread of tbe d isease .

Prepares the cremation of the corpses . - Please wait!

More q u ickly. Forward .

Come on , faster!

(M usic)

Pu l l the boats over bere !

H ere riber!

See wbat's on it!

"Typhoid epidem ic broke out" .

Report it to the general im med iately - on com mand !

Put down the weapons here and the armor there ! And the bod ies over tbere .

Go away there

l want to have that. l want to have that!

Don't overdo it! They d ied of typhoid fever. Away q u ickly! lt is contageous!

Come on , get out of here . Do not overdo anyth ing ! Get out of bere .

It is an epidem ic. Come on , get out of here . Ru n n ing away.

Th is Cao Cao is u nscru pu lous !

The sold iers who touched tbe bod ies cou ld i nfect other people .

I had tbem insu lated .

And the vi l lagers? - They'l l probably be i nfected .

It is mal icious and d ishonorable . lt is i n h u mane .

H e wants to scare us .

And wbat do we do with the bod ies? - These are the bod ies of ou r enem ies .

We th row them i n the river. - N o . We bu ry her.

Don't bu ry. We have to bu rn them !

(M usic)

Orbit that tree . Wh ich branch cou ld they rest on?

More and more are getti ng sick. ls there med ici ne? - There's not m uch ci n namon tree here .

I sent people u p to tbe mou ntai ns to col lect sprigs of ci n namon . - S prigs of ci n namon?

B ut other herbs are needed to heal .

Come on , let me see !

You m ustn't leave here ! - H el p b i m on horseback!

B ut no . You 're al l sick. - N o, you can't go .

You are not healthy. lt does not work. Where do you want to go?

You want to go

General . You can see wbat is happen ing .

Th is epidem ic is out of control . l have on ly 20 ,000 men left.

If l stay here longer, l wil l defin itely lose everyth i ng .

That's wby l 'm goi ng back to Xiakou . - The situation is very serious and dangerous .

And you pu l l back anyway? You wanted to make a bond !

N ow it's about l ife and death and you take fl ig ht?

I cal l it a breach of loyalty! - You can't cal l that breach of al leg iance!

See how many of us are sick. - And ou r M éan ner, aren't they sick?

H e is selfish ! - Wbo on ly tb i n ks of tbemselves?

Dear S i r. A major fig ht is im m i nent. How cou ld you now...

Kong m ing .

I have suffered too many defeats . An even bigger defeat...

l can not stand . Apart from that, i n war there is also tbe rig ht

to keep one's own strength . - And the trust of ou r al l ies?

You are fu l l of ideals and entb usiasm . lt's a wi ld time .

J ustice doesn't always win . l leave the hard fig ht to others .

And at some point you may u nderstand it later.

Liu hatchet

lt was an honor for me to go i nto battle with you .

We were convinced of the same th i ngs . B ut we can not make it bappen .

Farewell ! - Farewel l .

A man of honor m ust keep b is word . When you start someth i ng

then you fin ish it. - You 're actual ly a mad man .

We are al l crazy.

H ere , please , you r tea , si r!

Cao Cao . Ou r spy is back. The typboid epidem ic is spread i ng in the soutb .

And someth i ng else . Liu Bei left witb h is army.

Well ! - The al l iance has broken .

Very good !

I g reet you , dear si r! - My generals .

What about the exercises with the fleet? - lt looks very good !

The sh i ps are l in ked together.

Most of the sold iers come from the north and suffer from seasickness .

Si nce the sh i ps are con nected to each other, they are stand i ng on sol id g rou nd .

It no longer makes them i l l . - Can you separate the sb i ps agai n?

Yes of cou rse . D iscon nect!

H ow to separate them . A snake formation becomes a pair of pl iers ,

wh ich is even more effective for the attack. - You u nderstand warfare on water.

Someth i ng big has occu rred to you .

Su n Quan . The enemy has h u nd reds of thousands of sold iers and over 2 , 000 warsh i ps .

Ou r army doesn't even have 30 ,000 men . We are hopelessly i nferior.

And how shou ld we go to war? - lt's about the honor of sid i ng .

Even if we don't wi n , everyone wi ll fig ht!

H ow many arrows do we have left? - N ot many. On ly 50 , 000 .

Liu Bei captu red 40 ,000 arrows . - B ut we can win the war.

We have to cut them off from the su ppl ies . - A good suggestion .

What else d id you th i n k of? - Take off you r weapons .

I wi l l get 1 00 , 000 arrows from the enemy. And so Cao Cao's fig hti ng spi rit is weak.

Very good ! l take on the task. l get tbe arrows .

"Starry sky at n ig ht, snake-sbaped clouds d u ri ng the day" .

There is tb ick fog as l expected .

Wonderfu l ! M r. Kong m i ng . Look! Look! M r. Kong m i ng .

H ow d id you know that there wi l l be such th ick fog?

If you u nderstand the natu re and natu re of yi ng and yang ,

then su n , stars , moon , wi nd , forests , mou ntai ns and fi re ...

an army that does exactly what you want it to do .

Even the vagaries of natu re are l i ke an open book to you !

Too bad . We have lost a boat. - H ey, bey, come back!

Pity! - Come back!

G3 , 800 ...

And with that we go wrong on Cao Caol That is joy!

Xiao Qiao . H ere please . H old that tig ht, yes?

(M usic)

A map of Cao Cao's cam p .

If you were zhou Yu , how wou ld you go to war with us?

Si nce my army wou ld then be inferior, l wi l l take a big risk.

I wou ld destroy you r fleet. - You wi l l meet us with fi re .

I can not i mag i ne tbat! - You need the powers of natu re .

And wbat destroys most effectively? Of cou rse the fire ! That's because3 .

B ut they are not lucky. A northwest wi nd is cu rrently blowing .

Shou ld these poor cowards try anyway

U nfortu nately, to destroy ou r fleet with fi re , they wi ll bu rn themselves .

B ut we shou ld use fi re in ou r attack. l order:

Load al l sh i ps with su lfu r. The attack starts tomorrow even i ng .

We lay the cam p at Red Cl iff i n ru i ns !

And if you look at th is map , Cao Cao has already plan ned h is offensive .

I suspect tbe fig ht is starti ng ton ig ht.

It wil l be tbe decisive battle .

N o matter whether we wi n or lose , we have to fig ht!

Shangxiang . What do these l i nes between the sb i ps mean?

That's rid icu lous . They bave all l i n ked their sh i ps together.

So tbat they don't rock too m uch and thei r sold iers don't get seasick.

We have tal ked enoug h . What strategy are we pu rsu i ng?

H e chose the wrong place . Th is bay has the shape of a horseshoe .

Th is makes her rick train d ifficu lt. lf they don't wi n the battle

then the rick trai n wi l l be d ifficu lt for you . We cou ld use fi re .

The location of the bay is ou r advantage . lf we manage the formation ...

B reaki ng th roug h fire bead-on , they can hard ly ward off the attack.

Correct! An attack with fire ! Al l we need is 1 0 sh i ps with fi re .

2 attack the left and rig ht wi ng .

Ou r 8 ma in sh i ps sai l rig bt i nto the m idd le of Cao Cao's fleet.

And th is is exactly where we are breaki ng the gap . You fol low me and freeze b is cam p .

N o matter how strong h is fleet is, we'll destroy tbem .

So , ou r 8 mai n sh i ps go rig ht into tbe m idd le of Cao Cao's fleet.

If Liu Bei's sold iers were sti l l here , we cou ld at the same time ...

attack h is cam p from beh i nd and ou r victory wou ld be tri u m phant.

The wi nd d i rection is an advantage for h i m . - Yes , a northwest wind is blowi ng .

Ou r fleet wi l l also catcb fi re . - Cao Cao wil l use the wi nd d irection .

And attack ou rselves with fi re .

Why don't you say anytb i ng? What is there to see?

You see? Clouds appear i n the east and cover the su n .

Dark clouds of fog form a cou rtyard arou nd the su n . lt is very u n usual .

Kong m ing , what is the cu re? - The wind d irection wil l change soon .

I have observed and fou nd th is for many years :

lf th is natu ral pbenomenon occu rs after warm wi nter days ,

then there is a "land-sea wi nd " in the broader parts of the Yangtze .

What is a "land-sea wi nd "? - Th is is a warm south east wi nd .

That means the wind blows from S idosten to the nortbwest.

Kong m ing . Can you pred ict when the wi nd wi l l tu rn?

It wil l be early ton ig ht or tomorrow. - The weatber was always i m portant.

Whoever foresees it wi ns .

We absol utely have to delay Cao Cao's attack.

O n ly then may we wi n .

Even more ! - At you r com mand !

N ot enoug h ! Even more ! - At you r com mand !

N ot enoug h ! M uch more ! - B ut how m uch more?

So m uch !

That was not bad . About that m uch !

Well ! That was good !

See how strong the northwest wi nd is blowi ng ! N oth i ng wi l l change there .

We are not al lowed to approach tbei r fleet. - Stay cal m .

The east wi nd wi l l come . - G racious Lord . Sometb i ng has happened .

Someth i ng horri ble . l th in k you r wife has d isappeared !

(xiao Qiao) My beloved h usband . lf you read th is letter

l am al ready on my way to tbe Cao Cao cam p .

I wi l l be very carefu l and act accord i ng to the situation .

I hope the east wi nd wi ll come i n ti me .

As long as you are convi nced of someth i ng , bope l ives for so long .

The water of the Yangtze is clear. The mou ntai ns are always g rian .

B i rds fly back i nto thei r nests . Fishermen retu rn si ng ing .

Th is is ou r home , ou r beautifu l bome .

Everyone wants to defend them without th i n king about thei r own l ives .

H ow can l stay apathetic and i nactive?

I am preg nant i n the th i rd month with ou r ch i ld , who is su pposed to mean "peace" .

I d id n't tel l you because l was afraid it m ig ht d istract you .

I th in k we shou ld n't just th i n k of ou r cb i ld

and forget the cb i ld ren of the south . Do not worry about me .

I 'l l go home safe with ou r ch i ld .

(M usic)

Zhou Yu's wife is here . And she is alone .

(M usic)

Zhou Yu . We are chang i ng ou r plan of attack.

You r wife's l ife wou ld be i n danger. l wi l l send a g rou p of riders out.

They shou ld storm the cam p from the rick side and save her. - N o, S u n Quan .

We stick to the plan and attack h is warehouse head-on .

We can not spl it u p . - Zhou Yu , we wi l l fig ht alone .

Without al l ies , the chances of wi n n i ng , l th i n k, are extremely sl i m .

I never gave u p my d ream . - War has noth i ng to do with trau ma .

When does the east wi nd come? - l watched the sky.

The wi nd tu rns arou nd ton ig ht 2 . lf you sti l l trust you r friends,

l ig ht u p lanterns when the ti me comes .

If anyth i ng shou ld happen to you r wife ,

I saw you i n the garden once . You were a g i rl back then

but al ready a l ittle beauty. You learned the art of the tea ceremony.

You l i ked to catcb butterfl ies , but you released tbem agai n .

Are you wag ing th is war on my accou nt? - Do you real ly bel ieve that?

My father wou ld bave appreciated you if the memory d id not change me .

The Cao Cao from that time was si ncere , am bitious and loyal to the H an Em peror!

And he was a you ng hero .

For th is reason , it has become wbat it is today.

For that you ki lled n u merous i n nocent people .

I have heard that many sold iers are sick i n the S udan's army.

Yes . - And Liu Bei is said to bave d isappeared .

So you r al l iance broke . - Yes .

That heals, you r h usband Zhou Yu is very lonely?

D id be send you? - N o, he d id n't send me .

And wby are you here? - To ask you to end the war.

You have al ready won . Why do you want to keep fig hti ng?

N o .

I want zbou Yu to kneel and g ive u p i n front of me .

What are you doi ng bere"?

I 'm not j ust aski ng zhou Yu . l also pray for the whole people .

I ask you not to go to battle . E nd the war.

Why doesn't he g ive an order to attack? Tbe wi nd is chang i ng , isn't it?

I wei ld ! H e d ri n ks witb th is woman . . . - H e d ri n ks tea?

And wbat's the hardest th i ng about maki ng tea?

The tea , the fi re , the water and tbe d ishes .

Everyth ing is i m portant.

Water boil i ng is the most d ifficu lt. - The water boi l?

See there ! Tbe wi nd has stopped !

Patterns l i ke fish eyes on ly form on tbe bu bbling water.

And then small fou ntai ns form on tbe edge of the boiler.

Tea sbou ld be prepared th is way. When the water boi ls u p , it is too healthy.

Boi l i ng hot water shou ld not be used for tea .

The wi nd has changed . And the attack can beg i n .

What are we waiti ng for? - To the al l ies !

Wh ich al l ies?

Liu Bei has d isappeared ! - Th is is part of zbou Yu's plan !

There shou ld n't be too many involved i n certai n tb i ngs .
