Original subtitles

In the 16th year of Jian'an Period (211 A.D)

Liu Zhang the prefect of Yizhou

Invited Liu Bei to lend troops to enter West Shu to withstand Zhang Lu

Liu Bei led highly disciplined army of 50,000

They didn't harm people on the march to West Shu and gained popularity

Receiving news of Liu Bei's coming Liu Zhang left Chengdu for Fucheng

To meet Liu Bei in person

And to talk with Liu Bei about their brotherhood

Say no more

Liu Bei is my brother How could he attempt my districts?

Lord, it'll bring misfortune to you if you go to Fucheng

You should not go there otherwise, you will be murdered

For many years

I can't bear to see you fall into his trap

I beg you to think it over

I've made the decision No more talk

Lord, you must not go there

Please think it over

It'll be harmful to your cause if you don't make prompt decision

Lord, you must not go! You must not go, my lord!

Let's move out of the town

Lord

Lord

Stop

What's the matter?

Lord, it's Wang Lei

He said if you refuse to take the advice

He'd cut the rope and die right here

Bring me his remonstration

Wang Lei from Yizhou is pleading

Good medicine tastes bitter but good for the disease

Faithful words offend the ear but are good for the conduct

The emperor of Chu did not listen to Qu Yuan and was captured

Now you readily believe Zhang Song

Go out to welcome Liu Bei, I fear there is only going without return

If you could kill Zhang Song and break the ties with Liu Bei

It'd be happiness of old and young and your safety can be assured

How dare you!

I invite Liu Bei just

To withstand Zhang Lu, and protect the people of West Shu

And to secure my possessions

Why you insult me once again?

What are you up to? Why are you so audacious?

Do look after yourself!

I'm leaving

Lord, Wang Lei has been loyal all his life

I sincerely hope that he should be honorably buried

It's a long journey for me to go to Fucheng

Please look after all the affairs here carefully

Yes

Let's move out of the town

Oh, here we are

My lord, Imperial Uncle is here

Lord, please

I'm grateful to you for your coming to our aid from afar

Please accept my respects

Separated by mountains and rivers we both were militarily busy

We two brothers haven't met each other for many years

It's a great event that we meet here today

This is Pang Tong the Military Advisor

Called "Phoenix Fledgling" And civil and military officials

Let's go into the town to have a talk

Please

Please, brother, Look this is Fucheng

Lord

What's your impression of Liu Zhang at today's banquet?

He's an honest man I'll do the same to him

Liu Zhang is good, but Zhang Ren Liu Gui and his other subordinates

Showed their anger

If you take my advice, prepare a banquet for Liu Zhang tomorrow

100 assassins would be ambushed outside the camp

A signal from you, and he would be killed at the banquet

Then the army would move on to Chengdu

No sword is to be drawn no arrow fitted to the string

Only in this way can West Shu be obtained at once stroke

Any delays are most dangerous

He has treated me with sincerity How can I do such a thing?

And I'm a new comer and so far unknown

In this land such a deed would arouse public resentment

I won't establish myself by such means

This is not for ourselves

We have no personal enmity with Liu Zhang. It's the will of Heaven

You've come here after a long trek with a great army

Advance and success is yours retreat and you'll have nothing

If you can't do it right away delay will be dangerous

At any moment if the scheme leak out other person will profit from it

This is time when Heaven is on your side

Better act before Liu Zhang suspects you and establish yourself

Lord, what Fa Zheng said is extremely right

I hope you'll think it over and won't miss this golden chance

We can't act with undue haste as trust hasn't yet been established

No need to discuss it any more Please go and have a good rest

Yes

How ridiculous of Huang Quan and Wang Lei

They didn't really know the personality of my brother Liu Bei

With this kind and noble man as my support

Both Cao Cao and Zhang Lu shall be no worry

If not for Zhang Song

The chance would be lost

My Lord

It's too early for you to rejoice

Liu Bei is hard enough within in spite of his mild appearance

We still don't know his intention

Better on your guard

At the banquet, I saw you looked so strange

Why are you all so doubtful?

My brother is a noble man and not a double dealer

Even if he is a double dealer

His small troops are no match for our great army

What can he do?

Well, send 500 liang of gold to Chengdu

To be presented to Zhang Song as reward for his achievement

Yes

Lord has refused our remonstration invited Liu Bei to enter West Shu

He even went to meet Liu Bei in person

I'm afraid, he'll be murdered by Liu Bei sooner or later

I think that Liu Bei doesn't look like a crafty man

I'm afraid that Pang Tong, Wei Yan and others have evil intentions

My lord will be invited to the banquet tomorrow in Liu Bei's camp

It'll bode ill than well

If anything unexpected happens

I'd rather die in glory than live in disgrace

Please brother

Please

Please

Generals, please

Please, brother

My respects to you all generals

Today my lord and prefect Liu are gathering here at this banquet

I feel greatly honored to be present as well

May I show you a little fencing to add to the fun?

Please brother

Please brother

An opponent is needed to make the fencing a success

Zhang Ren is willing to play it together

Please

I'd like to join you in playing sword together

We three would play sword together

To add to the fun

Brother, where are you going?

Elder brother, I

Stop! Put down your swords!

We brother have met here to drink and enjoy ourselves

We're having a heart to heart talk This is not for murder

Who told you to play sword?

Put down your swords at once otherwise you'll be put to death

Why not put down your swords?

You all retire

Take away your sworda!

We two brothers have talked over great plan

You don't need to have any doubts

Serve wine!

Be at ease and go on drinking

Please be assured, if I had any evil intentions to harm my brothers

Heaven wouldn't forgive me

If you still believe in me please drink a toast

Report, lord, Zhang Lu's troops are marching forward

To the Jiameng Pass

Don't worry, my brother

I'm here to share your worries

Tomorrow I'll lead my troops to Jiameng Pass

To withstand Zhang Lu

What you'll do is only to supply us with grain and forage

Nothing else You may rest assured

Brother, I'll never forget your kindness

Without God's help what can we do now?

At today's banquet without my stopping them

Something serious might happen this scheme of yours is unwise

You've commanded the troops to enter West Shu

It won't take a long time for Sun Quan to try to take Jingzhou

I made this plan

To help you attain West Shu early We can't afford to miss this chance

I'm fully aware that you've really given much thought to the matter

But why are you in such a haste?

This certainly appears that Liu Bei is not faithful

Don't do that any more

Yes

Lord, have a good rest I'm leaving now

You should also have a good rest

Liu Bei has led a large army to enter West Shu

Now, they station in Jiameng Pass to help Liu Zhang withstand Zhang Lu

I want to take this opportunity to recover Jingzhou

But Zhuge Liang and Guan Yu are there to guard the district

Have any good idea?

Lord

Liu Bei promised to return Jingzhou to you when he seizes West Shu

It's not proper for you to seize Jingzhou at this time

When you see Marquis, you mustn't tell that I brought the news to you

Yes, I know

Lord

Liu Bei and his army are now far away and he can't return quickly

My advice is to occupy the passes so that he can't get through

Then you lead your main troops against Jingzhou and Xiangyang

These two towns will surely fall to you?

Who is trying to murder my daughter?

Dowager

You've assisted my son for years You work out such an evil plan?

You ought to be beheaded!

Dowager, please calm your anger

Your sister was married to Liu Bei and she is now in Jingzhou

If you lead your troops to attack Jingzhou

What is to become of your sister?

Mother

You were heir to your father and brother

And have obtained possession of 81 districts

Without the least effort and you're still not satisfied?

For you think only to attack and seize more lands

You forget the relatives of your flesh and blood! You!

Mother's instructions are right I'll do as you say

She is my only daughter if there is anything wrong with her

I would not let it go at that!

Why not dismiss the meeting?

Yes, Yes

Why don't you leave? Be quick

My lord

Zhang Zhao

Dowager didn't allow to sent troops and we must work out another plan

It's really difficult I can't go against my mother's orders

The difficulty may be easily removed

You can send someone to go there to accompany princess back

Then you can send your troops

She is the wife of Liu Bei

How can she easily return?

You can choose a trusty man and give him some soldiers as escort

To make his way secretly into Jingzhou

Tell princess her mother is seriously ill and wants to see her

In this case, won't she rush home at once?

Well, that's good

But...

Not so good cursing mother ill

This...

State affairs are most important

It's also for the mother to see her daughter

Why can't we do it?

E-Dou, son of Liu Bei is now with Princess, ask her to bring him

Then send letter to Liu Bei,asking to exchange Jingzhou for E-Dou

E-Dou is the only son of Liu Bei He loves him dearly

He'll be willing to exchange the land for his son

Then Jingzhou will be yours without fighting, won't it be fine?

It's really a good plan

If Liu Bei refuses

You can still send the army

All right

Please wait

I want to see the ladyship

Ladyship!

Zhou Shan is here

Show him in

Yes

Your ladyship

You've traveled a long journey to Jingzhou, anything urgent?

The dowager suddenly fell ill seriously recently

You'd better come back soon if you don't go back immediately

It would be too late to meet your mother

My mother always enjoys a good health

How could she suddenly fall ill so seriously?

As the saying goes.fortune or misfortune may happen overnight

In addition, dowager is of venerable age

What disease did she suffer from?

This...

I don't know exactly

The Marquis said that she is seriously ill

And can't eat anything She is missing you all the time

She said she wanted to see you even in dreams

Here is the letter from the Marquis, please take a look

We have not seen each other only for three years

I never thought my mother would be so seriously ill

Time is pressing, Pack up immediately and set off

Imperial Uncle is away in West Shu and military counselor is in charge

I ought to inform him before leaving

Thing will be missed up if he must inform your husband for consent?

If I leave without saying a word we might have trouble on the way

My ships are all ready on the river

Lady Sun, let's start right away

You'll be out of Jingzhou before they come to stop you

In this case, we have to go

The dowager is always talking about her grandson

The Marquis asked you to take him with you

To let your mother have a look at him

It's no good if the military counselor knows it

Grandma wants to see her grandson This is a family affairs

How can he care about it?

This...

The lord and his army are now stationing in Jiameng Pass

In name he is helping Liu Zhang withstand Zhang Lu

In fact he is trying to win over the support of people there

It'll be very useful to capture West Shu in the future

Military counselor

Just now three men from Dongwu came in through back door

With an official letter to see Lady Sun

Mother, where are we going to play today?

I'm taking you to see your grandmother, not to go playing

Grandmother? Is it far?

Yes

Why is Uncle Zhao not with us?

Uncle Zhao...

He is busy with his military Duties and he can't come with us

I'll miss Uncle Zhao

Zhao Yun, why are you so rude?

Where are you going?

Why didn't you inform the military counselor?

My mother is critically ill and no time to inform him of my departure

But why are you bring young master with you if only to see your mother?

E-Dou is my son, who would look after him if I left him behind?

You're not right

My lord has but this son of his

I rescued him from among a million troops in the battle at Changbanpo

Is there any reason for you to take him away?

How audacious!

You're only a common warrior under Imperial Uncle's command

Leave my family affairs alone!

If you go, just go

But leave the young master behind

You've intruded yourself into my ship with sword in hand

You're surely a rebel

Without leaving young master behind

I won't let you go, come what may

Come, drive him out!

Yes

You're too audacious

Take the boy back from him

But be sure not to hurt the child

Come on

Row fast towards the opposite bank

We'll see what Zhao Yun can do

Please look

That's Liu Bei's boat

Sister-in-law, leave my nephew behind before you go

Uncle

Why are you so rude?

You're going back home privately give little thought to my brother

You are behaving rudely

My mother is seriously ill how couldn't I rush home?

You ought to remember the words of brother

Inform the military counselor before departure

Why did you leave without saying good-bye?

If you don't let me go I have to die here

Lady Sun Retire Yes

Mother

It's no good for an officer to force our lord's wife to commit suicide

If you insist on leaving I won't force you to stay

My brother is Imperial Uncle of Han

If you don't forget him you will return quickly

Mother, come back as soon as possible

E-Dou

What a brilliant move by military counselor, he arranged beforehand

Military Counselor

Military Counselor

Zhao Yun, though today you didn't go in and out seven times

As you did in battle at Changbanpo You're demonstrated yourself

Your power is greater than that showed in Changbanpo

My Lady, when shall we return to Jingzhou?

Only when Lady Sun return to Dongwu did she learn it was a trick

From then on, she was held up in Dongwu

Had no chance to see Liu Bei again She was depressed and died there
