Take care on the way

Don't worry

Tao Qian let his men kill my father

It's an irreconcilable hatred

Pass my order to Vanguard Xia Houdun

To kill those dare save Xu Zhou without exception

After Cao Cao had lost the battle with Dong Zhuo

He withdrew his troops to Shan Dong

He sent men to Langlang to take his father

And other members of his family to Shandong

When they passed Xuzhou, in order to flatter Cao Cao

Tao Qian ordered Zhang Kai to protect Cao Cao's father,but on the way

Zhang Kai killed Cao's father and all his family for money

Cao Cao flew into a rage And let his troops to attack Xuzhou

Chen Gong

In order to save the people of Xu Zhou

I'd rather give myself up to Cao Cao

That won't do

Please don't do that

You've been here for long The people in Xu Zhou aregrateful to you

But the Cao Cao's army is too powerful to resist

Though they are powerful they haven't broken into the city yet

We've got to defend for life or death

I'll ask my life to go out of the city

To askKong Rong to come to raise the siege

I'm afraid the city will the captured before the relief troops arrive

Lord, a Chen Gong asks to see you

No,I won't see anyone

Yes

Wait

Who is it

It's Chen Gong

Which Chen Gong?

The one who rehuseed you in Zhongmou county

Let him in

Lord

Chen Gong how are you?

I'm fine,thank you

What have you been doing since you left me

A ssistant of Dong jun Prefect

What a high post you've holding?

Don't laugh at me

I know you've Tao Qian's good friend

Are you here to intercede for him?

That's exactly what I'm here for

You beside Xuzhuo to avenge your father

But Tao Qian is a benevolent man

Your father wasn't killed by him but by Zhang Kai

Besides,the local people didn't offend you

What makes you want to kill them all

Chen Gong,you deserted me

Then aren't you ashamed of coming to me?

Tao Qian killed all my family

I swear I'll take out his heart to take revenge

Lord!

Kong Rong

Tao Qian doesn't have to worry now

Do you have already the plan for repulsing the enemy?

I'd like you to see someone

Who's that?

Please

Please Let Master Liu in

Mr.Mi I've known all about Xu Zhou

Tao Qian is a benevolent man I never thought he'd done such an in justice

Have you heard of the three heroes

Who defeated Lu Bu HuLao pass When the 18 lords army foughtagainst Dong

Master Liu is really the hero of our time

With his help the besieged Xu Zhou can be saved

I've long heard you're a benevolent savior

Now the Xu Zhou people are in peril

I hope you can come to their rescue

Liu Bei you're an imperial clansman

Now Cao Cao is slanghtering the people

Why don't you go with me to save them

But I don't have enough troops

I save Tao Qian

Not only for friendship sake but also for the sake of justice

You do have a sense of justice don't you?

Prefecture Kong

Well then you may dispatch troops first

I'll come to you after borrow some thousand troops from Gong sun Zhan

You heroic spirit is really admirable

I'll dispatch troops tomorrow

Hope you won't break faith with me

What are you taking me for?

I'd rather die than break faith

I'll sorely come no matter what will happen

Liu Bei is really a savior

Liu Bei is here,Xuzhou is saved

Be quick!Open the city gate to welcome them

Here is master Liu

Governor

I was afraid you couldn't hold out long

For want of provision so I broke in

To discuss with you about a plan for republishing the enemy

Heaven has sent you to save

The innocent people of Xu zhou out of the calamity

Mi Zhu

Yes

Get me the official seal if Xuzhou

What do you mean governor?

Now the empire is in a state of chaos

As an imperial clansman you're the man to regenerate the Han's reign

I'm old and incompetent and want to offer Xu Zhou to you

I'm old and imcompetent and want to offer Xu Zhou to you

Governor

I feel deeply ashamed for what you said

Though an imperial offspring I've achieved little

I'm afraid I'm not competent for that

Now I've come for justice only

Are you suspicious I'm here to annex Xuzhou

If so I'll be condemned by Heaven

What I said is in all sincerity

I'll submit a memorial to the throne for that

Please don't decline my request

That's absolutely impossible

Now Xu Zhou's is besieged

The most important is to repulse the enemy

Liu Bei is right

All right

I'll write to advise Cao Cao to raise the siege

If he refuses We'll fight them off

That's good

How dare Liu Bei write to induce me?

He even ridiculed me in the letter

Guard

Kill the deliverer

Liu Bei come from afar,trying peaceful means before resorting to

force,so we may as well be courteous

To lower his guard,then we can attack and capture the city

Lord,an emergent report

Read it

Lu Bu adopted Chen Gong's stratagem he stormed and capture Shandong

Bring me the emergency report

Cao Ren report that Chen Gong turned to Zhang Miao

Advised Lu Bu Capture Shandong and Puyang

Now only Juancheng,Dong'e and Fanxian remain in our hand

For Xun Yu's last ditch defense

All other places were seized by Lu Bu

General Cao Ren was repeatedly defeated

So he's asked for emergency help

After Lu Bu was driven out of Chang'an

He sought refuge with Yuan Shu Yuan Shao,Zhang Yang ang Zhang Miao

Like a stray dog

Lu Bu has only reckless courage

Never thought Chen Gong was so mean

Just because I had refused his request

Without Shandong

We'll be homeless

We'll got to save Shandong first

You're right

We can avenge on Xuzhou later

We may as well sell Liu Bei a favor and

Withdraw troops to recapture Shandong

Withdraw troops

Here's Master Liu Bei

Governor

Thanks to that letter of yours

You're flattering me

I've only picked up a favor

Please

I've prepared some meager wine entertain

You all patriotic heroes

Please

I've something to say I want you all to be my witness

I'm too old and in poor health

My two sons are incompetent for important posts

Liu Bei is an imperial clansman

He's virtuous and talented enough to govern Xuzhou

I'm willing to retire to recuperate

That won't do

Kong Rong asked me to come to rescue Xuzhou

I've come for the take of justice

It'll be an unjust act if take Xuzhou

Master Liu Bei

Now the Han's reign is on the wane

It's the right time for you to build your power

Xuzhou is a rich place and with a population of one million

It's just the place for you to display your prowess

Please don't decline any more

I really can't do that

Tao Qian is in poor health and can't properly govern the city

Please don't decline any more

Governor

Yuan Shu is a hereditary noble who enjoys public population

Why don't you offer Xuzhou to him?

He's only a wicking skeleton

It is a good chance granted by Heaven to you

Liu Bei if you don't take it you'll regret it

No,absolutely not

If you leave me now

I'll die with ever lasting regret

By brother,since Tao Qian asks you

You may as well govern Xuzhou for the time being

Yes,it's not we who annex his city

He sincerely abdicates Why do you refuse him?

You wanted to plunge me into in justice?

I really can't comply with your request

Since you firmly refuse my request

There's a small town nearby called Xiaopei

Could you station your troops there to guard Xuahou for some time?

You don't have to decline that do you?

So we all can leave without worries behind

Thank you,governor

Lu Bu

Lu Bu!

I don't have any scores with you

Why did you siege my city

Everyone has a share in the Han's cities

You can take Xuzhou

Why can't I take your Sandong

Lu Bu,you brute

How dare you?

Who will go to puncture his arrogance

Chen Gong,you were only county magistrate

Now you even dare help a villain do evil and

Beat the drum to boost the morale

I swear I'll kill you

Cao Cao returned to Shandong to fight against Lu Bu

Chenggong made him suffer repeated defeats

Where's Cao Cao

the man ahead riding the yellow horse

Let's go

Hurry up

Cao Cao had a marrow escape in the battle puyang

There was a plague of locusts that year

Runing out of food supplies Caocao had to withdraw troops to Juanyang

Lu Bu led troops to hold fast to puyang

So there was a temporary armistice between them

Caocao raised the siege

because Lubu attacked Shandong

He retreated because of the locust plague but surely come back in spring

It reminds me of Cao's bloodbath in Xuzhou

Don't worry governor

Chendeng has gone to Xiaopei to invite Liubei

The governor of Xuzhou what do you think?

You're abdicated it to Liubei twice

Then you were still healthy enough

So Liubei wouldn't accept it

Now you're seriously ill He may not decline any more

Let's hope so

Governor

Why you so serious ill Governor

Stand up sit down please

Please feel at ease and recuperate well,don't...

When Caocao defeats Lubu,he'll surely come to revenge on Xuzhou

Xuzhou will be in danger

I hope you have mercy on the local people

Save the city

Why don't you hand it down to your son

My two son are worthless

I hope you can instruct them after I die,never let them govern the city

How could I take such an important take alone

I'll recommend a man to assist you

He's Sunqian from Beihai

Mizhu Yes

Liu Bei is a hero of our time

You should serve him well

Governor governor

Order all soldiers and officers to be in mourning

What?Taoqian died before I take revenge on him

Liu Bei get Xuzhou so easily

It's unfair

I'll kill Liu Bei first and whip

Tao's corpse to avenge my father

Please issue orders

wait

It's not proper to attack Xuzhou now

Why not?

Then emperor Gaozu guarded Guanzhon Emperor Guangwu stationed at Henei

They were both deeply rooted and well prepared for any unexpected incidents

So they finally established their ereigns

If we attack Xuahou now

Lu Bu'll take advantage of it

If we lose Shandong and can't get Xuzhou

We'll be beyond any retreat

Even don't take revenge I'll get Xuzhou in any case

Caoren Xia Houdun

Yes

You two hold fast to Juancheng

yes

We have to attack Lubu to remove future trouble

Yes

Rally the remnants of our army

I'll fight it out with traitor Caocao

The Cao's army is too strong to match

We'd better retreat to wait for our day

When you advised me to attack Shandong,you said

Caocao was nothing to be afraid of

What if I seek refuge with Yuanshao

Last time you were almost killed

For you are arrogant

I'm not sure whether he'd tolerate you this time

We may send men to check it out first

If Yuanshao refuses

We may as well go to Liubei

What

I intended to save Xuzhou,but now

Lubu is a wolf we can't take him in

He'll hurt others if we take him in

Last time you were almost killed

By attacking Shandong

Now he is in trouble & comes to me for refuge,he could I let him down

you're too kindhearted Even so,we've got to keep high vigilance

Come with me to welcome them

Get me my horse

Since I killed Dongzhuo with Wangyun

I've been wandering about in Guandong because of the Lijue Guosi incident

Most of the lords wouldn't tolerate me

Now as a defeated general I've come to join you in your great cause

I wonder if you could grant me this favor

When Caocao besieged Xuzhou

You attacked Shandong and thus forced him to raise the siege

Now Taoqian was just dead

I'm acting as an interim governor as nobody else took the post

Now you're here I should abdicate it to you

I'm only a warrior I'm not competent for that

Please don't decline out of modesty

A strong guest never outshines the host

Don't be suspicious

I captured Shandong and thought

I could base my career there but

I felt into Caocao's trip. I suffered heavy casualties

Now I have no other way out

I'm very grateful that you've me refuge

Come on.Call them out to pay respects to Liubei

You've offered us a shelter

You must kowtow to thank him for that

Please don't do that

Don't be modest brother

My brother's an imperial clansman

How dare you call him brother

Come on,Let me combat with you for 300 rounds

Ever such a good man as my brother

Wouldn't take the seal offered to him thrice

How could you treacherous man governor Xuzhou

Please forgive him for his nonsense

Thank you for taking me in

But I'm afraid your brother won't tolerate me

I may as well go somewhere

General

It's be a great sin of mine if you leave

I'll tell my brother to apologize to you another day

I'll better be going

There's a small town nearby called Xiaopei

You may station your troops there

I'll provide you with all supplies

What do you think general

Well then

Thank you

When the emperor moved the capital to Luoyang

He was pursued and attacked by Lijue and Guosi

The news shocked Caocao

And all other officials who were disscussing their expedition to Xuzhou

lord

though Liubei has taken in Lubu I think

The attack of Xuzhou may be postponed

Now the emperor is moving the capital to Luoyang

This is a matter of vital importance

You have to consider it

When king Wen of Jin helped king Xiang of Zou

All the lords complied with him for that

When emperor Gaozu mourned over emperor Yi,country paid allegiance

Now the emperor is trouble it's the mandate of heaven

The desire of the people that you start just war to assist his majesty

If you hesitate

Others will do it

Now the emperor is trouble it's the mandate of heaven

The desire of the people that you start just war to assist his majesty

If you hesitate

Others will do it

The emperor issued an edict to summon Caocao do court to assist his majesty

Accept the edict

Cao cao accept the edict

Burn them all

Yes

Please spare me for my offense general

I've been enjoying emperor's favors I'm always thinking of repaying them

I'm ordered to go to the palace to guard the emperor

I'll put the country above everything else

I'll start a just war against the traitor

We'll win victories wherever we go

March to Luoyang to guard the emperor
