In the 17th year of
Jian'an Period (212A.D)

Liu Bei wrote letter to Liu Zhang
saying Sun Quan was asking for help

He himself would take
the army back to Jingzhou

Therefore, Liu Zhang was requested
to lend one million Hu of grain

And thirty or forty thousand
troops under Liu Bei's command

However, Liu Zhang could only
agree to provide Liu Bei with

One tenth of the supplies and four
thousand weak and old soldiers

Oh, Pang Tong, come here quickly

Now since things have been so
What to do next?

I've three schemes ready in my mind

You may choose whichever
please you

What's your first scheme?

The first and best is to select
immediately a strong army

Get ready all the
necessary supplies

Hurry to take Chendu by surprise
without Liu Zhang's preparedness

Then West Shu can be
obtained at one stroke

What's your second scheme?

Lord

The Fushui Pass is the
strategic passage to Chengdu

And the only way through
which we can return to Jingzhou

It's now guarded by the general of
Yang Huai and Gao Pei

You can send someone to
deliver a letter to them

Pretending you are returning
to Jingzhou by passing here

They will come surely out
come out to bid farewell

You can take this opportunity

And then capture Chengdu

What's your third scheme?

Third plan is to drop this decision
go back to Jingzhou

And make find a chance later

Of your three schemes
I find the first too hasty

The last too slow

I choose the second one which
is neither haste nor too slow

I think it's workable

Fine, since you've made up your
mind, please write a letter

I'll see to it that the
army is well disposed

We can seize the opportunity
to capture the Pass

Lord, Military Counselor

Zhang Song and his family
were all beheaded

Ah? Did you find out why?

When Zhang Song learned
you're going back to Jingzhou

He secretly wrote you a letter

Urging you capture Chengdu
without delay

Saying he'll collaborate from within

He was so careless he
lost the letter

And it was picked up
by his brother Zhang Su

Who informed Liu Zhang
against Zhang Su

Liu Zhang thus caused the
destruction of whole family

Alas! Zhang Song was
more sincere and loyal

And helped me take West Shu

But now he is dead without receiving
any regard, grant or title from me

He and his family suffered such
an atrocious disaster for my sake

Zhang Song was beheaded and
Liu Zhang will take proper action

Reinforcements to every strategic
point to enhance the guard

The generals in Shu have long borne
hatred and resentment against lord

As he's led the army into Shu

Liu Zhang's general Zhang Ren is
very wise and resourceful

It's unwise to use force right
now in such a great haste

It's better to launch
a regular invasion

Since Pang Tong is there
I don't think there'll be trouble

But I'm afraid he's
impatient for success

In that case, why not write to
the lord and make it clear to him

But Pang Tong

Tomorrow is the festival of the
seventh day of the seventh month

Shall we withdraw our sentry
guards to comfort them

We can relax a bit to celebrate
together with people in the city?

During festivals, we should
ever heighten our vigilance

Since Liu Bei seized Fushui Pass
he's been quick maneuvering troops

His military advisor Pang Tong is no
man without wisdom or resource

They will certainly take us
by surprise during the festival

Zhang Song's sacrificed himself for
conquest of West Shu at early date

Now Fushui Pass has
already been taken

You should immediately advance
the army toward Luocheng

So as to prevent Liu Zhang having
opportunity for reinforcements

Lord

Liu Zhang's sent four generals
Zhang Ren, Liu Gui, Leng Bao

And Deng Xian to reinforce
Luocheng with 50,000 soldiers

Now Leng Bao and Deng Xian
have encamped

Sixty Li to the north of Luocheng

My Lord

To the north of Luocheng
there's a passage

The road is narrow surrounded
by high mountains

It's easy to defend but
difficult to attack

If we fail to capture it first
we're unable to approach Luocheng

Zhang Ren and others are by no
means more brave than wise

But

We can make some
astrological calculations

How could we do it?

I've made astrological calculations
this is the last year of the cycle

The bowl of the Dipper
is in the western quarter

And the planet Venus
approaches Luocheng

The configuration is inimical to
leaders and caution is necessary

Since I came to lord for shelter

Up till now I've had no opportunity
to make any contributions

Advancing toward Sichuan this time
I think it's time develop my ability

But Zhuge Liang wrote
to the lord from afar

To prevent me winning gory of
conducting a victorious campaign?

What do you think of
Zhuge Liang's idea?

Mine is just the opposite

Lord, important is to use military
forces when tide is on our side

Opportunity slip, it will be
very difficult to have again

Not that I don't understand
the merits and demerits of it

But Zhuge Liang has always
wonderful foresight

What he has said today
makes me feel uncertain

My lord, Zhege Liang has
indeed filled your mind with doubts

He is unwilling to let me have the
merit of fulfilling a task alone

That's why he has written this

Zhuge Liang is definitely not kind
of person jealous of other's talent

I'm afraid you're too suspicious

Zhuge Liang is far away in Jingzhou
how could he know everything

About the military situation and
topography here in Luocheng?

As to this, allow me to think it over
And we can discuss it later

You're still not going to bed?

Is there any instruction as you
come so late at night?

Do you know what festival
tomorrow is?

Today is the sixth of the seventh
month and tomorrow the double sevens

That is the festival of the seventh
day of the seventh month

It's not particular in Central Plain

But in Sichuan it is extraordinary

According to customs of local
people, on this day every year

Each household will celebrate it
with wine, food and entertainment

It's the same in the army
The soldiers have a day off

Both officers and soldiers
are rewarded with bounties

Isn't it an opportunity
to seized Luocheng?

But Zhang Ren is a man of tact
He's cautious directing his army

What's to do if he's well prepared?

Lord

Zhang Song has drawn the
map with miraculous foresight

It's impossible for Zhang Ren to
defend effectively. Please look

North to the mountains is a big road
leading to the east gate of Luocheng

And south of the mountains is a
small path leading to the west gate

Though it was drawn on Zhang
Song's map, no name was written

This shows it's out of the way

I've asked soldiers coming over
most of them don't know about it

Zhang Ren doesn't know
we have this map

And naturally he would think our
men don't know this path

Isn't it Heaven has supported us to
defeat the enemy by a surprise move

You mean that we'll make a
feign attack on the big road

And take the enemy by surprise
along the small path

To attack Luocheng along two routes

Exactly so! My lord

How could Zhuge Liang in
Jingzhou know all about this?

Send for Fa Zheng immediately

Yes

If we are to act on this plan
how much sure are we of success?

If this plan is realized, we can
capture Luocheng in a single battle

Then our army could drive
straight down to seize Chengdu

We can capture Liu Zhang
and take West Shu at one stroke

Only then will we hold
one of the three fragments

And you can contend with Cao Cao and
Sun Quan for the rule of the country

Then there'll be the hope for the
restoration of the Han's reign

Fine

Lord, Military Counselor

What roads can we take to
advance our army to Luocheng?

There are two roads

North of the mountains is a
high road leading to the east gate

Still there is small path leading
to the west gate of Luocheng

Access is very difficult and even
local people seldom take that path

According to your opinion
which road is better?

We should adopt tactic of concerted
attack by converging columns

In so doing, we're sure of success

Since both of you hold the same view
we'll dispatch 20,000 men tomorrow

Military Counselor and I will take
two routes to attack Luocheng

I'll keep 30,000 men behind

To command Mi Zhu and Jian Yong
to defend the base camp

Will it be all right?

Yes

My lord, you'll lead half of the
troops along the high road

While I go along the small path

No, small path is dangerous and out
of way, and difficult to move along

Why should you take the risk?

I was trained as a mounted archer
and am accustomed to by roads

Better take the high road

Well
My lord

There will be resistance
on the high road

And you're the best to deal with it

The small road is difficult, but we
can attack the enemy unawares

By taking dangerous road, I mean to
avoid difficulties to take easy ones

Why not allow me to do that?

To tell you the truth, though your
brilliant scheme has convinced me

The letter of Zhuge Liang
really worries me

What if... along the small path

My lord, since I came
to you for shelter

I'm very grateful to you for your
kindness I haven't repaid your grace

I'm prepared for any sacrifice and
mean just what I say

It's possible that the byroad
might not be dangerous

Even if it's dangerous
what is there to be afraid of?

I ask you not to say any more

Let me have the byroad
and you take the high road

No

It would be better for you
to take the high road

My lord, please go to bed earlier

Give the orders and set out at dawn

Luocheng is the gate of Chengdu

Once it's lost, there will be no
end of trouble for the future

Instead of withdrawing our soldiers
reinforcement is necessary

Never should our vigilance
be slackened

You're perfectly correct

Ask General Liu to leak 10,000 men

To reinforce our defense on high
road to the east of Luocheng

Wu Lan and Lei Tong will be
within Luocheng for collaboration

Even if Liu Bei dares to come
there is nothing to fear

The byroad to the west of Luocheng
must also be guarded

General Zhang is too
cautious, I'm afraid

That byroad

Both the ends are hidden in rambles

Say nothing of Liu Bei and Pang Tong

Even few of the local people know it

We must heighten our vigilance
to avoid any chance for the enemy

General Liu will guard the high
road with reinforcements

Wu Lan and Lei Tong guard the
east and west gates respectively

I myself will lead 3,000 archers
to guard the byroad

Yes

Military Counselor, I've thought
it over and over again

You'd better take the high road
and let me take the small path

My lord, you have already issued
orders that can't be withdrawn

Please get on the horse
Let's meet at Luocheng

Military Counselor, please

Well, take care of yourself
all the way

You can be rest assured
Please mount the horse

After you

Don't be too ceremonious

Please get on the horse immediately

All right, I'll follow your idea

My lord, let's join our
force at Luocheng

Why do you ride this
wretched horse?

I've ridden it for a long time and
it has never behaved thus before

Come

This white horse has been
with me for many years

Ride my horse which is well trained
and will never fail you

Give me yours

No, no, it can not be done, my lord

Small road is very zigzag, what if
the horse does the same thing again?

It's intolerable

I'm used to fighting on horseback
Please don't turn down my offer

My lord

My lord

I'm deeply affected by your kindness
it's regret I could never repay you

General

Please mount the horse

They are coming

General Zhang, they're coming

General Zhang, Let's charge
them before they discover

This is the van
don't disturb them let them pass

Yes, wait

Liu Bei must be in the rear
wait till he comes

I've seen the horse Liu Bei rides
It's a tall white horse

Pass these words to the
officers and soldiers

The rider on the tall white
horse is Liu Bei

Shoot the rider
on the white horse

Yes

Pass the words
Shoot the rider on the white horse

Shoot the rider on
the white horse

It's very dangerous here

Military Counselor

It seems there are some
characters on the rock

Go and have a look! Yes

Military Counselor

It's the Slope of Fallen Phoenix

It's the Slope of Fallen Phoenix

Phoenix Fledging is my Taoist name
the place's name is Fallen Phoenix

An evil omen for me
there is really no luck for me here

Military Counselor

Retreat from the valley immediately

Shoot arrows

Take shelter to shield
the arrows, be quick

Aim at the rider on
the white horse, shoot!

Take shelter to shield the
arrows, be quick

Military Counselor
save the Military Counselor

Be quick! Take the troops
out of this valley immediately

Military Counselor

This map is of vital importance
And it must be handed to the lord

We're ready to die together with you
and not to survive battle

I'm not afraid of death

What I do regret is I didn't follow
Zhuge Liang's sincere advice

And my greed of merit has
resulted in my doom

I am ashamed of the kindness
my lord has given me

Tell my lord to forget me

White horse

My lord's white horse

I can no longer accompany
my lord with you

To play an outstanding
role under the heaven

What a fine white horse!

The Slope of the Fallen Phoenix

Military Counselor

Pang Tong, you died
for my sake

I've ruined you

It's me who have ruined you

It's me

My lord

Pang Tong died before he
could succeed in the expedition

Liu Bei's army suffered a severe
setback and his men low-spirited

They had to remain on the defensive
and withdraw to Fushui Pass

At the same time, they sent
Guan Ping back to Jingzhou

Invite Zhuge Liang to
lead an army to Sichuan

To work out a major plan
to take over Sichuan

Pang Tong died in Sichuan before
he could succeed the expedition

My lord lost an arm, he's now hemmed
in Fushui Pass and can't move

What a shame that I can't go
immediately to his help

Zhang Ren has killed
Military Counselor Pang

Besieged our brother at Fushui Pass

Wait to meet this fellow

Brother Guan and
Zhao Yun, let's all go

And rout them out completely

But my brother, if the Military
Counselor, you and I all go

Who is going to guard
Jingzhou, the strategic place?

You're quite right, West Shu
is still in the hands of others

If we lose Jingzhou

The grand foundation my lord built
up will be ruined in a single day

But the lord didn't make
it clear in his letter

Who should stay here
to guard Jingzhou

I know what's in his mind though
he didn't mention it clearly

When Guan Ping delivered the letter

I think you know meaning behind it

Do you mean to say

He wants Guan Yu to
undertake the defense

I know that you'll do all your
best to guard the districts

For the sake of pledge taken in
Peach Garden, the task is no light

I understand very well
the importance

All the future rests
with you, general

Since it's of vital importance
how could I decline it?

Fine!

This matter has a great
bearing on our future cause

I hope you must be very careful
and never take it lightly

You can be rest assured, when
a man of honor accepts such a task

He's only released by death

Now if Cao Cao attacks
what is to be done?

Resist him with all my strength

But if Cao Cao and Sun Quan
join hands to attack you

What can you do then?

I'll fight both with half
my force against them each

In that case, Jingzhou
would be in danger

I'll give my advice in a few words
and if you remember, city is safe

What are these few words?
May I have your instruction?

To the north, fight Cao Cao
to the south, ally with Sun Quan

I'll certainly keep your
words in my mind

Ma Liang, you and Mi Fang
Liao Hua and Zhou Cang

Will assist Guan Yu
in the defense of Jingzhou

Yes

Yes
Zhang Fei

You command 10,000 crack troops
to take main road to Sichuan

Seize Bajun first

I'll take an army into
Sichuan by water

You and I shall join
forces at Fushui Pass

Whoever gets there first will
be awarded the first merit

Go immediately to make preparations
We'll set forth tomorrow

Yes

Brother Guan

Take care of yourself

Brother Zhang

You too

Zhao Yun Yes

Go to get the ships and
weapons ready!

Go with me tomorrow, we'll advance
our army to Sichuan by water

Yes

Guan Yu

Anything else to be done?

You are entrusted with a great task
I wish you all the best

Take care of yourself and never
let our lord down

I can assure you
Military Counselor

Since the seal is
placed in my hand

I'll fight at the cost of my own
life! Jingzhou will never be lost!

Oh, why should you
talk about death?

So long as you can ally
with Sun Quan in the east

And resist Cao Cao in the north
Jingzhou will certainly be guarded

Don't think lightly of men of
Sichuan, there are many mighty men

On the march in the first place
you must win the hearts of people

To capture cities is less important

You shall bear this in your mind

You must restrain your
men from plunder and incense

All the surrendered soldiers
shall be treated kindly

I've remembered

You're short-tempered

And should not only respect the
honorable and belittle common people

You should always restrain
your bad temper

Don't over-drink and
beat the soldiers

Believe me, I'll correct them all

Good

Wish you a plain sailing
bring the wine

No, not at this moment
after I make a first degree merit

It won't be late

That'll be fine

Come earlier to Fushui Pass
and I'll offer to a toast

You're unfair

Why don't you say you'll come
to Fushui Pass to meet me

It seems that you are going to

Win the first merit for
entering Sichuan

No enemy troops stop me on river
and we can go straight to West Shu

But it's difficult to move
in mountain path

Besides, the passes are
heavily guarded

Aren't you in an
unfavorable situation?

I'll bet will certainly
bet even if I lose

I'm pretty sure you'll lose it
You had better drop the betting

No. No. I'll bet all the same

Surely you'll have courage to bet?

I'll see whether you'll
have the courage to bet

Alright then

Let's clap our hands as
a sign of pledge

Let's wait and see who will
come to Fushui Pass first

Excellent

I'll compete with you and see
who turns out to be the winner

I'll be on the move first

I'll wait to you to come
to join me at Fushui Pass

Set out

Zhang Fei really surpasses others in
valor and displays sense of heroism

He's indeed a brave general

It's a pity he's short-tempered
And very often act rashly

Rashly he may act, he is not the
kind of person without wisdom

You may not necessarily
win this time

Really? If that is the case
that will be all I could wish for
