1
00:02:54,854 --> 00:02:59,771
(Han Dynasty, 208 A.D. Summer, Xuchang)
2
00:05:07,521 --> 00:05:11,729
Greetings, Your Majesty
3
00:05:23,063 --> 00:05:25,354
Yesterday, I proposed a decree
4
00:05:25,563 --> 00:05:28,021
for war against Liu Bei and Sun Quan
5
00:05:28,354 --> 00:05:30,771
Has Your Majesty approved the decree?
6
00:05:31,188 --> 00:05:34,188
The Prime Minister has just beaten
back the Northern Wu Wan
7
00:05:34,521 --> 00:05:37,771
Our troops and people need respite
8
00:05:38,021 --> 00:05:39,438
The insurgents Sun and Liu
9
00:05:39,688 --> 00:05:41,688
are ruling their own regimes down South
10
00:05:41,938 --> 00:05:44,354
They plot against Your Majesty's Court
11
00:05:44,521 --> 00:05:46,271
If they are not eliminated in time,
12
00:05:46,521 --> 00:05:51,188
Your Majesty's Han Court
might well be theirs
13
00:05:51,521 --> 00:05:52,688
Prime Minister,
14
00:05:53,021 --> 00:05:55,021
please let me consider this further
15
00:05:55,188 --> 00:05:57,938
How much further must
Your Majesty consider?
16
00:06:00,104 --> 00:06:01,854
I have waged wars across the land
17
00:06:02,021 --> 00:06:04,021
Tens of thousands of soldiers
have perished on the battlefields,
18
00:06:04,188 --> 00:06:07,104
all for the sake of the Great Han Empire
19
00:06:08,021 --> 00:06:10,188
Does Your Majesty
still remember your exile?
20
00:06:10,438 --> 00:06:12,938
Which, if any, among your
Royal relatives rescued You?
21
00:06:13,188 --> 00:06:15,604
I wonder, to this day,
22
00:06:15,854 --> 00:06:18,854
if I had not eliminated the traitors,
23
00:06:19,021 --> 00:06:21,104
how many more would claim
the throne for themselves?
24
00:06:31,021 --> 00:06:32,021
I hereby decree that
25
00:06:32,854 --> 00:06:34,438
Prime Minister Cao Cao
26
00:06:34,688 --> 00:06:36,771
be commissioned as
the Commander of the lmperial Army
27
00:06:37,021 --> 00:06:39,854
and go forth to pacify the South
28
00:06:40,188 --> 00:06:42,021
Thank you, Your Majesty
29
00:06:42,188 --> 00:06:45,688
Senator Kong Rong wishes to speak
30
00:06:51,188 --> 00:06:53,688
Liu Bei is Your Majesty's uncle,
31
00:06:53,854 --> 00:06:56,604
and Sun Quan is the third-generation
heir to the Dukedom of Wu
32
00:06:56,771 --> 00:06:58,938
They have no intent to rebel
33
00:06:59,688 --> 00:07:01,188
Whereas you, Prime Minister,
34
00:07:01,354 --> 00:07:02,438
not only seize all
the powers of the state,
35
00:07:02,688 --> 00:07:04,438
but also intend to
mobilize the entire army
36
00:07:04,688 --> 00:07:07,854
There is no justifiable reason
for your war!
37
00:07:08,271 --> 00:07:10,188
Though you have solemnly vowed yourself
38
00:07:10,354 --> 00:07:12,604
loyal to His Majesty's Court,
39
00:07:12,854 --> 00:07:16,854
you will not be able to convince everyone!
40
00:07:18,188 --> 00:07:21,771
The next one to put down a rebellion,
may not be you, Prime Minister,
41
00:07:22,188 --> 00:07:23,521
but Liu Bei
42
00:07:23,854 --> 00:07:25,354
and Sun Quan!
43
00:07:26,354 --> 00:07:27,854
He is the first sacrifice
44
00:07:35,188 --> 00:07:39,188
I thank the Prime Minister for this wine!
45
00:07:49,021 --> 00:07:50,104
(The final year of the Han dynasty)
46
00:07:50,271 --> 00:07:52,271
(Eunuchs and court relatives)
(struggle for power)
47
00:07:52,438 --> 00:07:53,771
(The country falls into chaos)
48
00:07:53,938 --> 00:07:55,438
(Ambitious Cao Cao seizes the moment)
49
00:07:55,688 --> 00:07:57,771
(to coerce the emperor and)
(to control the feudal lords)
50
00:07:58,021 --> 00:08:00,521
(ln the year 208 A.D.,)
(Cao Cao leads his army South)
51
00:08:00,688 --> 00:08:03,354
(to destroy Liu Bei,)
(a distant relative of the Royal Family)
52
00:08:03,521 --> 00:08:05,938
(and Sun Quan, ruler of the Southland)
53
00:08:06,688 --> 00:08:07,771
Begin
54
00:08:09,271 --> 00:08:10,688
Form up!
55
00:10:51,188 --> 00:10:52,896
Watch it
56
00:10:59,521 --> 00:11:00,521
My Lord
57
00:11:01,354 --> 00:11:02,854
Zilong! My Lord
58
00:11:02,938 --> 00:11:03,854
You have returned
59
00:11:04,104 --> 00:11:07,021
Our men made all possible efforts
to hold our ground
60
00:11:07,188 --> 00:11:09,521
until the last minute
before abandoning the town
61
00:11:11,521 --> 00:11:13,688
Luckily, most of the peasants
have already fled
62
00:11:13,854 --> 00:11:14,938
through the valley
63
00:11:15,188 --> 00:11:16,354
My Lord!
64
00:11:16,854 --> 00:11:18,604
The two ladies and the Young Master
65
00:11:18,688 --> 00:11:20,438
are still trapped in the village
66
00:11:26,854 --> 00:11:28,771
My ladies, please be careful
67
00:11:29,521 --> 00:11:31,521
Don't cry
68
00:11:49,521 --> 00:11:50,354
General Zhang
69
00:11:50,688 --> 00:11:53,188
Chief Strategist,
how does the situation look?
70
00:11:54,188 --> 00:11:56,104
Cao Cao's pursuing forces
are greater than anticipated
71
00:11:56,271 --> 00:11:59,271
The cavalry vanguard
will arrive at any moment
72
00:11:59,938 --> 00:12:01,188
The Cao cavalry will use
73
00:12:01,354 --> 00:12:03,271
a wedge formation to attack
74
00:12:03,438 --> 00:12:05,271
We will reflect the light
into their eyes to hold them off
75
00:12:05,438 --> 00:12:07,604
Remember, the refugees need
76
00:12:07,771 --> 00:12:09,938
at least an hour to retreat
77
00:12:10,188 --> 00:12:11,688
We need a thousand more soldiers
78
00:12:11,854 --> 00:12:13,354
for the second line of defense!
79
00:12:13,688 --> 00:12:15,021
Leave it to me
80
00:12:24,521 --> 00:12:25,604
Alright
81
00:12:27,188 --> 00:12:28,438
Forward
82
00:12:48,521 --> 00:12:49,521
My Lord
83
00:12:50,021 --> 00:12:50,771
Zhu-ge Liang,
84
00:12:52,021 --> 00:12:53,188
the peasants are moving slowly
85
00:12:53,688 --> 00:12:56,271
It looks like they will need
at least another four hours
86
00:12:57,188 --> 00:12:58,688
We urgently need
a thousand soldiers from here
87
00:12:58,854 --> 00:13:00,354
Go aid General Zhang
88
00:13:00,521 --> 00:13:02,688
That way Cao Cao cannot chase them
89
00:13:02,854 --> 00:13:05,604
The peasants can be left to themselves
90
00:13:05,854 --> 00:13:07,354
Cao Cao intends to make us surrender
91
00:13:07,521 --> 00:13:08,438
He will not kill them
92
00:13:08,688 --> 00:13:11,604
No! As you can see,
93
00:13:12,104 --> 00:13:14,271
the elderly, the women,
and the children all need our help
94
00:13:14,521 --> 00:13:15,104
My Lord,
95
00:13:15,354 --> 00:13:17,688
these peasants are dragging us down
96
00:13:18,104 --> 00:13:21,188
To succeed, you have to set
aside these trivial matters
97
00:13:21,688 --> 00:13:23,438
These are Han people
98
00:13:23,688 --> 00:13:26,688
They follow us only to escape
from Cao Cao's regime
99
00:13:27,188 --> 00:13:28,771
If we cannot offer protection
to the civilians
100
00:13:29,021 --> 00:13:31,771
then what is the meaning of this war?
101
00:13:37,021 --> 00:13:37,854
I will find Guan Yu
102
00:13:38,021 --> 00:13:39,271
Go and help my Lord
103
00:14:02,354 --> 00:14:04,188
Sister!
104
00:14:20,854 --> 00:14:22,688
Quickly! Bring the horse for My Lady
105
00:14:22,854 --> 00:14:24,938
That looks like Liu Bei's family
106
00:14:25,188 --> 00:14:26,938
Go get the baby!
107
00:15:27,438 --> 00:15:28,438
My Lady!
108
00:15:29,021 --> 00:15:30,438
General Zhao,
109
00:15:32,354 --> 00:15:35,188
he is my Lord's only flesh and blood
110
00:15:35,521 --> 00:15:38,771
He must not fall into enemy's hands!
111
00:15:39,104 --> 00:15:39,938
Rest assured, My Lady
112
00:15:40,188 --> 00:15:43,271
I will take you and
the young Master to my Lord
113
00:15:43,521 --> 00:15:44,854
Let's go! Get on the horse!
114
00:16:06,354 --> 00:16:08,438
My Lady, quickly!
115
00:16:19,354 --> 00:16:20,688
My Lady!
116
00:16:23,604 --> 00:16:24,771
My Lady!
117
00:16:28,188 --> 00:16:29,188
General!
118
00:17:11,854 --> 00:17:13,021
My Lady!
119
00:17:41,104 --> 00:17:42,271
Step apart!
120
00:17:43,146 --> 00:17:45,188
Flip the shields!
121
00:18:24,354 --> 00:18:26,604
Attack!
122
00:19:13,396 --> 00:19:14,604
Let's go!
123
00:20:22,521 --> 00:20:23,938
Bailong!
124
00:20:42,188 --> 00:20:42,854
Chief Strategist,
125
00:20:43,188 --> 00:20:44,771
where are our reinforcements?
126
00:22:23,104 --> 00:22:23,938
Who is that man?
127
00:22:24,354 --> 00:22:26,854
Zhao Zilong of Changshan
128
00:22:37,521 --> 00:22:41,604
Why is there no such a brave
warrior under my command?
129
00:22:49,688 --> 00:22:50,854
General Zhao
130
00:22:51,521 --> 00:22:52,604
Zilong
131
00:23:01,688 --> 00:23:02,604
Retreat!
132
00:23:02,771 --> 00:23:04,188
We can still fight!
133
00:23:04,354 --> 00:23:07,188
Why are we giving up so easily?
134
00:23:08,188 --> 00:23:09,021
We are greatly outnumbered by the enemy
135
00:23:09,188 --> 00:23:10,688
If we can't protect the refugees,
136
00:23:10,854 --> 00:23:11,938
our losses will be worse
137
00:23:12,188 --> 00:23:12,938
Attention!
138
00:23:13,188 --> 00:23:14,521
Protect the refugees!
139
00:23:14,688 --> 00:23:16,354
It's an order!
140
00:23:18,938 --> 00:23:19,688
Brother,
141
00:23:20,021 --> 00:23:21,104
go quickly!
142
00:23:21,521 --> 00:23:24,271
Leave! Protect the refugees!
143
00:23:24,604 --> 00:23:27,021
Zilong, take the Young Master!
144
00:23:27,354 --> 00:23:28,854
Retreat!
145
00:23:29,604 --> 00:23:32,354
Attention, Third Battalion! Hold the line!
146
00:23:32,521 --> 00:23:35,854
Protect the retreating refugees!
147
00:23:38,521 --> 00:23:40,438
Quick!
148
00:23:41,521 --> 00:23:43,438
Charge!
149
00:23:49,354 --> 00:23:52,104
Second battalion, go!
150
00:23:52,438 --> 00:23:55,021
Third battalion, get ready!
151
00:24:44,354 --> 00:24:45,521
My lord
152
00:24:49,354 --> 00:24:53,604
I brought the Young Master back
153
00:24:56,354 --> 00:24:59,104
but the two ladies already...
154
00:25:05,271 --> 00:25:08,354
Zilong, get up...
155
00:25:33,354 --> 00:25:34,438
Prime Minister!
156
00:25:34,688 --> 00:25:36,854
Liu Bei is vulnerable
157
00:25:37,188 --> 00:25:39,604
Look, the cowards have all fled
158
00:25:39,854 --> 00:25:41,688
Dead bodies lie everywhere
159
00:25:42,938 --> 00:25:45,604
The rest ran for their lives!
160
00:25:46,188 --> 00:25:49,521
There is only one man still fighting
161
00:26:04,521 --> 00:26:06,021
Surrender, and your life will be spared!
162
00:26:06,188 --> 00:26:09,104
Kneel down...
163
00:26:09,188 --> 00:26:11,188
Do not be so rude!
164
00:26:12,688 --> 00:26:13,771
General Guan Yu,
165
00:26:14,354 --> 00:26:16,771
a wise man chooses his Lord carefully
166
00:26:17,021 --> 00:26:20,188
Why do you continue to serve Liu Bei?
167
00:26:21,188 --> 00:26:22,438
You still won't kneel!
168
00:26:54,771 --> 00:26:55,938
Protect the Prime Minster! Kill him!
169
00:26:56,188 --> 00:26:58,188
Nobody move!
170
00:27:12,854 --> 00:27:14,604
Prime Minister, why?
171
00:27:14,854 --> 00:27:16,854
If he wanted to kill me,
he already would have
172
00:27:17,271 --> 00:27:20,188
Guan Yu would not stab a man from behind
173
00:27:20,354 --> 00:27:22,771
Liu Bei has lost many battles,
174
00:27:22,938 --> 00:27:25,354
yet so many talented men
remain loyal to him
175
00:27:25,521 --> 00:27:29,688
One day, they will
all serve under my command
176
00:27:59,521 --> 00:28:01,771
I have suffered a lifetime of failures
177
00:28:02,188 --> 00:28:04,688
This isn't the worst one
178
00:28:05,188 --> 00:28:07,938
Cao Cao thinks he holds
the Dynasty's fate in his hands
179
00:28:09,271 --> 00:28:11,104
So long as I live and breathe,
180
00:28:11,604 --> 00:28:13,271
I will fight to end his crimes
181
00:28:13,521 --> 00:28:16,188
against the Han Court
182
00:28:17,354 --> 00:28:20,021
My Lord, I will go to
the state of Wu tonight,
183
00:28:20,188 --> 00:28:21,938
to ask for Sun Quan's support
184
00:28:22,354 --> 00:28:23,438
Sun Quan?
185
00:28:24,354 --> 00:28:26,771
Against Cao Cao?
I wonder if he is strong enough
186
00:28:27,021 --> 00:28:30,021
to fight an enemy as fierce as Cao Cao
187
00:28:30,354 --> 00:28:32,104
Though Sun Quan is young,
188
00:28:32,521 --> 00:28:34,854
he bears great ambitions within
189
00:28:35,354 --> 00:28:37,438
For generations,
the Sun Clan has ruled the South
190
00:28:37,688 --> 00:28:41,438
They have the wealth and strength
to fight Cao Cao
191
00:28:41,854 --> 00:28:45,354
Wu needs us just as much as we need Wu
192
00:28:45,938 --> 00:28:48,271
If our alliance succeeds,
and we defeat Cao Cao,
193
00:28:48,521 --> 00:28:50,271
then Cao Cao will definitely
retreat back North
194
00:28:50,521 --> 00:28:53,688
We can then go West and rebuild our forces
195
00:28:53,938 --> 00:28:55,521
Once we are in control of the West,
196
00:28:55,771 --> 00:28:57,938
Cao Cao will control the North,
and Sun Quan, the South
197
00:28:58,104 --> 00:29:00,354
We will form a power triangle
198
00:29:00,604 --> 00:29:03,271
This division of power is
the only way to stop Cao Cao
199
00:29:09,354 --> 00:29:12,104
My Lord, please rest assured
200
00:29:13,521 --> 00:29:16,271
Are you confident you can convince him?
201
00:29:26,104 --> 00:29:27,771
Eat some more
202
00:29:28,438 --> 00:29:33,438
The road to Wu is long,
and you will need energy
203
00:29:43,354 --> 00:29:45,604
Prime Minister, the surrendered generals,
204
00:29:45,688 --> 00:29:47,938
Cai Mao and Zhang Yun, are here
205
00:29:48,521 --> 00:29:52,271
These two men are untrustworthy
206
00:29:52,521 --> 00:29:55,688
Please be cautious
207
00:29:57,354 --> 00:30:00,604
I trust those who are of use to me
208
00:30:09,938 --> 00:30:12,438
Greetings, Your Highness!
209
00:30:13,188 --> 00:30:14,438
Rise
210
00:30:14,854 --> 00:30:16,938
How many ships and men
have you brought with you?
211
00:30:17,354 --> 00:30:18,854
We have with us
three hundred thousand naval troops
212
00:30:19,021 --> 00:30:20,521
and more than two thousand
213
00:30:20,688 --> 00:30:22,354
battleships and boats of various sizes
214
00:30:22,688 --> 00:30:23,688
Great!
215
00:30:25,021 --> 00:30:27,104
Now we can be
216
00:30:27,688 --> 00:30:30,271
tigers that swim!
217
00:30:34,354 --> 00:30:38,104
Your Highness,
here is our letter of surrender
218
00:30:42,688 --> 00:30:43,854
General Cai,
219
00:30:44,688 --> 00:30:46,854
I see many grammatical errors here
220
00:30:47,104 --> 00:30:48,688
I hope your military strategies
221
00:30:49,021 --> 00:30:51,521
are not as poor as
your command of literature
222
00:30:52,021 --> 00:30:54,104
I hear you have frequent exchanges
223
00:30:54,354 --> 00:30:56,354
with the State of Wu
224
00:30:57,521 --> 00:30:58,438
Your Highness,
225
00:30:58,688 --> 00:31:00,771
I have declared war on Wu many times
226
00:31:01,021 --> 00:31:03,271
These so called exchanges
are limited to only this
227
00:31:03,604 --> 00:31:05,104
No need to explain
228
00:31:05,521 --> 00:31:06,521
What is this?
229
00:31:06,688 --> 00:31:08,354
This is a map of Wu that I drew
230
00:31:08,521 --> 00:31:11,104
taking great pains to be precise
231
00:31:15,354 --> 00:31:16,521
General Cai,
232
00:31:17,188 --> 00:31:19,021
you took great pains indeed
233
00:31:19,854 --> 00:31:20,938
Your Highness,
234
00:31:21,021 --> 00:31:23,271
Liu Bei has fled to Xiakou in defeat
235
00:31:23,521 --> 00:31:25,604
If he eventually joins forces
236
00:31:25,688 --> 00:31:27,688
with Sun Quan's Wu clan,
then I fear that...
237
00:31:27,771 --> 00:31:30,188
Then isn't that in our best interest?
238
00:31:30,521 --> 00:31:32,521
If Sun Quan forms
an alliance with Liu Bei,
239
00:31:32,688 --> 00:31:33,854
then he is harbouring a traitor
240
00:31:34,021 --> 00:31:35,688
and rebelling against the Royal Court,
241
00:31:36,021 --> 00:31:39,021
which justifies our war
242
00:31:39,438 --> 00:31:43,271
Liu Bei, a shoe weaving Royal uncle,
243
00:31:43,688 --> 00:31:45,021
his whole life is a failure
244
00:31:45,354 --> 00:31:46,604
Sun Quan
245
00:31:46,771 --> 00:31:50,521
is a young upstart with no achievements
246
00:31:51,688 --> 00:31:55,771
When a loser join forces with a coward,
247
00:31:56,104 --> 00:31:58,938
what can they accomplish?
248
00:32:01,854 --> 00:32:03,188
Though my Lord is young,
249
00:32:03,354 --> 00:32:04,688
he shows wisdom beyond his years
250
00:32:04,854 --> 00:32:06,854
Speak frankly and don't hold back
251
00:32:07,104 --> 00:32:10,521
The senior advisors
will be your biggest obstacle
252
00:32:14,188 --> 00:32:17,771
You say we can fight this war? We can't!
253
00:32:37,188 --> 00:32:38,438
Hopefully,
254
00:32:38,688 --> 00:32:41,771
he has some good strategies
to use against Cao Cao
255
00:32:42,188 --> 00:32:44,521
This time around,
Cao Cao is determined to fight
256
00:32:44,854 --> 00:32:46,771
We are gravely outnumbered
257
00:32:47,188 --> 00:32:49,271
How could we ever hope to fight this war?
258
00:32:50,021 --> 00:32:51,938
We cannot fight!
259
00:33:28,521 --> 00:33:30,854
Greetings, Your Highness
260
00:33:34,021 --> 00:33:35,271
Mr. Zhu-ge,
261
00:33:35,521 --> 00:33:37,188
I hear that Cao Cao
262
00:33:37,354 --> 00:33:41,021
beat Liu Bei into the mud at Xinye?
263
00:33:43,188 --> 00:33:46,104
The defeat at Xinye was due to
my Lord's noble heart
264
00:33:46,354 --> 00:33:48,354
He did not abandon
the thousands of refugees
265
00:33:48,521 --> 00:33:50,271
who followed our troops
and slowed down our retreat
266
00:33:50,521 --> 00:33:52,271
How large is Cao Cao's army?
267
00:33:52,688 --> 00:33:54,021
A ruthless army of eight hundred thousand
268
00:33:54,354 --> 00:33:56,854
is invading from both land and water
269
00:33:58,188 --> 00:34:00,188
Cao Cao's real target
is not to defeat Liu Bei
270
00:34:00,604 --> 00:34:03,271
but to conquer Wu!
271
00:34:07,021 --> 00:34:09,021
Your Highness governs the vast Southland,
272
00:34:09,104 --> 00:34:10,521
and has many extraordinary
gentlemen in your court
273
00:34:10,854 --> 00:34:12,938
If you are determined
to oppose Cao Cao's invasion,
274
00:34:13,188 --> 00:34:14,271
then please prepare for war!
275
00:34:14,604 --> 00:34:16,604
My Lord! Do not fight!
276
00:34:16,688 --> 00:34:18,354
When the late Duke was still alive,
277
00:34:18,438 --> 00:34:20,688
he always told me
278
00:34:20,771 --> 00:34:22,188
that nothing is more important
279
00:34:22,271 --> 00:34:24,938
than the peace of Wu's people!
280
00:34:25,021 --> 00:34:30,438
We cannot fight, my Lord.
281
00:34:30,521 --> 00:34:32,771
That's right. To surrender is not so bad
282
00:34:32,854 --> 00:34:35,604
For the cowardly, in fact,
the earlier the better
283
00:34:35,938 --> 00:34:38,188
That way everyone can stop worrying
284
00:34:38,771 --> 00:34:39,771
If that is the case,
285
00:34:40,271 --> 00:34:42,854
then why didn't Liu Bei surrender?
286
00:34:43,688 --> 00:34:44,938
Confucius spoke of
giving oneself to justice,
287
00:34:45,188 --> 00:34:46,438
and Mencius spoke of
sacrificing for righteousness
288
00:34:46,604 --> 00:34:48,771
Surrendering is not
a matter of victory or defeat,
289
00:34:49,021 --> 00:34:50,604
but rather one of virtue!
290
00:34:51,188 --> 00:34:52,771
Cao Cao,
the self-proclaimed Prime Minister,
291
00:34:52,938 --> 00:34:56,271
controls the Han Emperor,
and fabricates His Majesty's commands
292
00:34:56,521 --> 00:35:00,604
If he conquers the Southland,
he will surely usurp the throne
293
00:35:00,771 --> 00:35:05,271
If we surrender to Cao Cao,
then we would be aiding a tyrant
294
00:35:06,354 --> 00:35:09,438
Lord Mayor Liu Bei is of
His Majesty's Royal Family
295
00:35:09,688 --> 00:35:11,271
His wisdom is known to the world
and respected by the people
296
00:35:11,521 --> 00:35:13,021
If a noble man, who has been
loyal to the Han court all his life,
297
00:35:13,188 --> 00:35:15,021
fails to succeed, then that is fate
298
00:35:15,271 --> 00:35:17,104
But, how could he surrender to Cao Cao?
299
00:35:17,354 --> 00:35:18,438
That would be
300
00:35:18,688 --> 00:35:21,438
an unbearable shame!
301
00:35:29,688 --> 00:35:32,354
However, it is fine for
Your Highness to surrender
302
00:35:32,688 --> 00:35:36,188
At least, you will be able to
keep your life and possessions
303
00:35:36,521 --> 00:35:37,521
At Cao Cao's mercy,
304
00:35:37,688 --> 00:35:40,271
he may let you remain as
the ruler of the Southland
305
00:35:40,438 --> 00:35:43,771
So why not?
306
00:35:45,521 --> 00:35:48,771
You are saying I am nothing
compared to Liu Bei?
307
00:35:50,063 --> 00:35:52,604
No, Your Highness shows
an outstanding brilliance
308
00:35:52,688 --> 00:35:56,438
greater than that of most
and akin to that of Lord Liu
309
00:35:56,854 --> 00:35:59,271
Your Highness is capable of
ruling the vast Southland
310
00:35:59,521 --> 00:36:02,854
This alone, is a major
advantage over Lord Liu
311
00:36:03,438 --> 00:36:05,271
My Lord, Mister Zhu-ge has come before you
312
00:36:05,521 --> 00:36:07,521
with a plan for fighting Cao Cao
313
00:36:07,771 --> 00:36:10,646
It would not hurt to hear him out
314
00:36:13,854 --> 00:36:15,354
Though my Lord suffered a recent defeat,
315
00:36:15,688 --> 00:36:17,688
we still have Guan Yu,
Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun,
316
00:36:17,854 --> 00:36:20,563
as well as the Navy that they command
with at least ten thousand men
317
00:36:20,938 --> 00:36:23,521
If we join forces with the elite generals
and troops of Wu,
318
00:36:23,688 --> 00:36:26,354
the alliance will strengthen us both
319
00:36:27,063 --> 00:36:28,521
Although Cao Cao's
military outnumbers ours,
320
00:36:28,688 --> 00:36:30,688
more than half of his troops
only just surrendered to him
321
00:36:30,854 --> 00:36:32,188
and are not entirely trustworthy
322
00:36:32,521 --> 00:36:35,188
They have traveled over
one hundred miles every day
323
00:36:35,521 --> 00:36:36,521
They are exhausted
324
00:36:36,854 --> 00:36:40,063
As the saying goes, a worn spear
cannot even penetrate a thin cloth
325
00:36:40,354 --> 00:36:42,438
Moreover, Northerners are not
used to the Southern terrain,
326
00:36:42,604 --> 00:36:43,729
and they have no naval experience
327
00:36:43,979 --> 00:36:47,438
Their abrupt invasion is destined
to result in failure
328
00:36:50,438 --> 00:36:52,271
You make well reasoned points
329
00:36:52,854 --> 00:36:54,021
My Lord,
330
00:36:54,854 --> 00:36:57,188
please do not fall into Zhu-ge's traps!
331
00:36:57,438 --> 00:36:58,521
We cannot justify fighting
332
00:36:58,688 --> 00:37:00,854
against Prime Minister Cao, My Lord!
333
00:37:01,188 --> 00:37:02,938
Our alliance with Liu Bei
334
00:37:03,104 --> 00:37:04,688
will only justify Cao Cao's war
335
00:37:04,813 --> 00:37:06,521
It is better to take Liu Bei captive
336
00:37:06,646 --> 00:37:08,188
and turn him over as a gift to Cao Cao!
337
00:37:08,521 --> 00:37:10,104
No! We shall first fight, then surrender
338
00:37:10,354 --> 00:37:12,771
So that we leave Cao Cao
with a bitter taste
339
00:37:13,604 --> 00:37:15,438
One hundred thousand
against eight hundred thousand!
340
00:37:15,688 --> 00:37:17,313
What kind of a war is this!?
341
00:37:17,688 --> 00:37:18,896
Cowards!
342
00:37:19,396 --> 00:37:21,688
All of you are shameless cowards!
343
00:37:21,854 --> 00:37:23,688
How dare you!
344
00:37:24,188 --> 00:37:25,854
We cannot fight
345
00:37:26,188 --> 00:37:27,104
Your Highness,
346
00:37:28,021 --> 00:37:30,688
I know you have been
concealing your abilities
347
00:37:31,021 --> 00:37:32,688
The sword had been
hidden away for too long
348
00:37:32,938 --> 00:37:35,438
Now is the time to draw the blade
349
00:37:42,521 --> 00:37:44,396
My Lord, this Zhu-ge Liang
350
00:37:44,604 --> 00:37:46,938
is determined to drag us into trouble!
351
00:37:47,104 --> 00:37:48,813
Don't! My Lord!
352
00:37:53,021 --> 00:37:55,021
Speak no more!
353
00:37:55,354 --> 00:37:58,188
I have heard this far too many times!
354
00:38:07,854 --> 00:38:09,646
Let me think it through
355
00:38:10,271 --> 00:38:12,271
Let me think...
356
00:38:22,354 --> 00:38:23,104
How beautiful!
357
00:38:23,479 --> 00:38:25,688
This really is heaven on earth!
358
00:38:26,271 --> 00:38:27,521
Unfortunately,
with the arrival of Cao's regime,
359
00:38:27,646 --> 00:38:29,938
all of this beauty will soon turn to ash
360
00:38:30,188 --> 00:38:33,688
Your words had almost
persuaded his Lordship
361
00:38:34,271 --> 00:38:35,438
For the alliance to happen,
362
00:38:35,688 --> 00:38:37,938
I only need to persuade one other person
363
00:38:38,521 --> 00:38:39,771
Zhou Yu. Viceroy Zhou
364
00:38:40,021 --> 00:38:40,646
Exactly!
365
00:38:41,188 --> 00:38:43,021
The Duke regards him as
his own older brother
366
00:38:43,354 --> 00:38:45,771
The Late Duke had also said,
367
00:38:46,104 --> 00:38:47,688
for internal affairs, seek Zhang Zhao
368
00:38:47,854 --> 00:38:49,438
For foreign affairs, seek Zhou Yu
369
00:38:49,604 --> 00:38:51,021
He is now encamping at Red Cliff
370
00:38:51,188 --> 00:38:52,438
He is the right one to seek
371
00:39:30,771 --> 00:39:32,021
Stop!
372
00:39:34,188 --> 00:39:35,021
Give it to me!
373
00:39:35,354 --> 00:39:36,854
Are you not capable of holding a spear?
374
00:39:37,688 --> 00:39:39,354
There must be power within every stroke!
375
00:39:40,354 --> 00:39:41,688
One more time!
376
00:39:43,521 --> 00:39:44,604
Stab!
377
00:39:45,021 --> 00:39:45,938
Slash!
378
00:39:46,021 --> 00:39:47,063
Strike!
379
00:39:47,563 --> 00:39:48,354
Swing!
380
00:39:48,688 --> 00:39:49,646
Stab!
381
00:39:49,688 --> 00:39:50,771
Slash!
382
00:39:50,854 --> 00:39:51,854
Strike!
383
00:39:52,021 --> 00:39:53,063
Swing!
384
00:39:54,354 --> 00:39:57,604
Mister Zhu-ge, the Viceroy is over there
385
00:40:05,688 --> 00:40:07,521
Form up!
386
00:40:18,354 --> 00:40:20,521
One other wing
387
00:40:33,688 --> 00:40:35,021
The Goose Formation
388
00:40:35,229 --> 00:40:36,438
Not bad
389
00:40:38,521 --> 00:40:41,688
A pity that it is outdated
390
00:42:02,979 --> 00:42:05,271
Give it to me
391
00:42:15,229 --> 00:42:16,354
Your Honor!
392
00:42:43,104 --> 00:42:44,604
You try
393
00:44:24,396 --> 00:44:25,604
Thank you
394
00:44:26,729 --> 00:44:28,563
Your Honor!
395
00:44:31,688 --> 00:44:32,854
My family's water buffalo
396
00:44:32,979 --> 00:44:35,938
was stolen from the fields
near the barracks
397
00:44:36,354 --> 00:44:38,479
Some people saw...
398
00:44:53,563 --> 00:44:56,521
Your Honor, this is Mr. Zhu-ge Liang
399
00:44:57,021 --> 00:44:58,021
Greetings, Viceroy Zhou
400
00:44:59,354 --> 00:45:00,521
Greetings
401
00:45:02,104 --> 00:45:03,354
Why carry a fan on a cold day like this?
402
00:45:03,729 --> 00:45:05,521
It helps me remain calm
403
00:45:05,813 --> 00:45:08,146
It's the one old habit I cannot give up
404
00:45:08,771 --> 00:45:11,688
You do not look like an anxious person
405
00:45:13,188 --> 00:45:14,521
This way
406
00:45:18,938 --> 00:45:20,771
What are you laughing at?
407
00:45:20,896 --> 00:45:23,354
I am not laughing, but appreciating
408
00:45:23,688 --> 00:45:25,021
I am appreciating that these soldiers
409
00:45:25,188 --> 00:45:28,188
know not only how to fight,
but also how to appreciate music
410
00:45:28,854 --> 00:45:30,438
You are knowledgeable in the art of war
411
00:45:30,854 --> 00:45:31,604
Just a little
412
00:45:31,854 --> 00:45:34,521
Yet you say my formations are outdated
413
00:45:37,688 --> 00:45:38,854
No man but you
414
00:45:39,021 --> 00:45:40,938
can hear me from that far away
415
00:45:41,521 --> 00:45:44,521
I have sharp hearing
416
00:45:45,854 --> 00:45:47,021
This way
417
00:45:49,021 --> 00:45:50,938
General Gan, Mister Zhu-ge said
418
00:45:51,188 --> 00:45:52,688
that your formation is outdated
419
00:45:52,854 --> 00:45:55,938
Are you aware that a bad formation
can kill our brothers?
420
00:45:56,354 --> 00:45:58,854
I have never thought of
killing my own brothers
421
00:45:59,104 --> 00:46:01,854
The power of the formations
comes from the heart
422
00:46:02,271 --> 00:46:04,771
There is no such a thing as outdated!
423
00:46:05,688 --> 00:46:06,688
This is...?
424
00:46:07,021 --> 00:46:09,021
This is General Gan Xing
425
00:46:09,521 --> 00:46:10,854
Pardon me, General Gan
426
00:46:14,521 --> 00:46:15,771
General Gan and his army,
427
00:46:15,938 --> 00:46:17,521
used to be the most notorious
pirates in the South
428
00:46:17,688 --> 00:46:18,771
You cannot joke around with him
429
00:46:19,188 --> 00:46:20,354
No problem
430
00:46:40,021 --> 00:46:42,521
I am impressed by
everyone's performance today!
431
00:46:47,604 --> 00:46:49,354
But this elderly gentleman
had his buffalo stolen
432
00:46:49,688 --> 00:46:52,854
in the rice fields near the barracks
433
00:46:54,521 --> 00:46:56,938
Was this done by one of my brothers?
434
00:46:57,021 --> 00:46:59,438
He who did it gave all
our brothers a bad name!
435
00:46:59,521 --> 00:47:00,188
Find him!
436
00:47:00,354 --> 00:47:03,938
Who did this despicable thing?
437
00:47:04,021 --> 00:47:05,854
Lu Su, tell me,
438
00:47:06,021 --> 00:47:07,688
what is the penalty according to law?
439
00:47:08,188 --> 00:47:11,021
By law, the penalty is death!
440
00:47:11,354 --> 00:47:13,271
Step forward. Reveal yourselves
441
00:47:13,354 --> 00:47:15,104
Who did this? Step forward
442
00:47:21,021 --> 00:47:22,854
I have a way to find them
443
00:47:23,188 --> 00:47:26,188
Since the buffalo was stolen
in the rice fields,
444
00:47:26,521 --> 00:47:29,354
then there must be mud
on the shoes of the looters
445
00:47:29,521 --> 00:47:31,271
Am I correct? Yes!
446
00:47:38,938 --> 00:47:40,771
Attention, Gan Xing Company!
447
00:47:41,521 --> 00:47:43,854
Everyone, run to that tree,
448
00:47:44,188 --> 00:47:45,854
around and back
449
00:47:46,188 --> 00:47:48,604
Go! Yes!
450
00:47:50,354 --> 00:47:52,104
Quickly! Follow up!
451
00:48:42,354 --> 00:48:44,688
I did not drag those people out today
452
00:48:45,854 --> 00:48:49,021
because I want to
give them a second chance
453
00:48:49,354 --> 00:48:52,354
The Wu army does not tolerate looting!
454
00:48:54,021 --> 00:48:55,688
What we really need
455
00:48:56,021 --> 00:48:58,354
is to stick together
456
00:49:02,438 --> 00:49:03,688
I have failed
457
00:49:04,188 --> 00:49:06,104
to train my soldiers
458
00:49:07,854 --> 00:49:09,521
I beg your forgiveness
459
00:49:13,104 --> 00:49:14,938
I dare not!
460
00:49:15,688 --> 00:49:17,104
I dare not!
461
00:49:32,354 --> 00:49:35,604
These soldiers are difficult to train
462
00:49:44,521 --> 00:49:48,354
Yet, these soldiers, have great potential
463
00:49:52,021 --> 00:49:54,688
Things like this happen because of
our shortage of supplies
464
00:49:54,938 --> 00:49:57,688
You gave us half of your wealth
to help build this army
465
00:49:57,854 --> 00:49:58,854
Now, supplies are short again
466
00:49:59,021 --> 00:50:02,604
So how about giving up the other half?
467
00:50:03,521 --> 00:50:05,521
Whatever you say is fine by me
468
00:50:05,854 --> 00:50:07,021
Then it's settled
469
00:50:07,104 --> 00:50:09,104
Your Honor!
470
00:50:09,188 --> 00:50:11,188
Bad news!
471
00:50:11,604 --> 00:50:12,604
I told you
472
00:50:12,854 --> 00:50:15,104
this friend is difficult to deal with
473
00:50:16,021 --> 00:50:19,104
It's a breech birth!
474
00:50:31,021 --> 00:50:32,771
Hold this
475
00:50:46,104 --> 00:50:47,521
Luoyue,
476
00:50:48,438 --> 00:50:50,188
hang in there
477
00:50:53,521 --> 00:50:56,104
My Lady! The pony still hasn't...
478
00:50:56,188 --> 00:50:57,354
Be quiet
479
00:50:57,438 --> 00:51:00,604
She can't give birth
with you being so loud
480
00:51:16,521 --> 00:51:18,188
It's coming
481
00:51:22,104 --> 00:51:24,188
Xiao Qiao, what's happening?
482
00:51:26,021 --> 00:51:28,271
A breech birth It will come out soon
483
00:51:30,438 --> 00:51:32,021
Your Honor, for horses...
484
00:51:32,188 --> 00:51:34,354
Be quiet! Breech births are very rare
485
00:51:34,688 --> 00:51:37,521
The pony has not come out for two days
486
00:51:39,188 --> 00:51:40,688
What is happening?
487
00:51:42,104 --> 00:51:44,354
Why is there only one leg?
488
00:51:49,854 --> 00:51:51,521
He can't come out
489
00:51:58,188 --> 00:51:59,521
What should we do?
490
00:52:01,771 --> 00:52:04,938
The other leg is stuck
491
00:52:06,188 --> 00:52:08,188
Simply dragging it out will not work
492
00:52:08,604 --> 00:52:09,771
He is...?
493
00:52:10,104 --> 00:52:11,271
He is Zhu...
494
00:52:11,604 --> 00:52:13,938
He is Zhu-ge Liang, a friend of mine
495
00:52:14,188 --> 00:52:15,688
Step back a little
496
00:52:16,021 --> 00:52:17,521
You are knowledgeable in this too?
497
00:52:17,854 --> 00:52:20,938
A little. I helped cows give birth
498
00:52:21,188 --> 00:52:24,104
Horses should be much the same
499
00:52:24,521 --> 00:52:26,938
Excuse me, let me try
500
00:52:55,188 --> 00:52:57,271
The two front hooves
need to come out together
501
00:52:57,688 --> 00:52:59,854
for a natural birth
502
00:53:59,104 --> 00:54:01,521
The pony does not have a name yet
503
00:54:02,021 --> 00:54:03,521
He was born in the Southland,
504
00:54:03,771 --> 00:54:06,854
so he should have a Southern name
505
00:54:09,021 --> 00:54:10,271
How about Meng Meng?
506
00:54:10,688 --> 00:54:12,188
Meng Meng?
507
00:54:16,854 --> 00:54:19,604
Meng Meng, stand up!
508
00:54:22,188 --> 00:54:23,354
He can't stand up!
509
00:54:24,438 --> 00:54:25,938
Stand up!
510
00:54:28,354 --> 00:54:29,521
Come on!
511
00:54:30,104 --> 00:54:32,104
Stand up!
512
00:54:40,188 --> 00:54:43,521
I hope we can watch him grow each day
513
00:54:50,188 --> 00:54:52,021
I want you to promise me,
514
00:54:52,354 --> 00:54:54,021
when he is grown,
515
00:54:54,354 --> 00:54:57,354
not to make him a warhorse
516
00:55:09,188 --> 00:55:10,104
Viceroy,
517
00:55:10,438 --> 00:55:11,771
Xiao Qiao looks like
518
00:55:11,938 --> 00:55:15,771
she's the proud new mother herself
519
00:55:19,354 --> 00:55:22,021
Viceroy, time is of the essence
520
00:55:22,188 --> 00:55:23,771
War or surrender?
521
00:55:25,021 --> 00:55:26,104
Lu Su,
522
00:55:26,354 --> 00:55:29,021
today we are celebrating.
Let' s not discuss affairs of state
523
00:55:29,354 --> 00:55:30,604
Alright,
524
00:55:34,188 --> 00:55:35,854
Since Mr Zhu-ge is learned in music,
525
00:55:36,188 --> 00:55:38,521
why don' t we play a tune together?
526
00:55:39,021 --> 00:55:40,688
I know only... a little
527
00:55:40,938 --> 00:55:42,104
You know a great deal
528
00:55:42,354 --> 00:55:44,854
You are only hiding it
529
00:55:47,021 --> 00:55:49,271
If you two gentlemen can work together,
530
00:55:49,438 --> 00:55:52,438
then that will be a perfect match
531
00:58:54,604 --> 00:58:55,604
Please
532
00:58:55,604 --> 00:58:57,021
Thank you, madam
533
00:58:59,938 --> 00:59:02,104
Thank you, Mr. Zhu-ge
534
00:59:02,438 --> 00:59:04,354
My husband has not played
his qin for a long time
535
00:59:04,688 --> 00:59:08,604
I, too, have not been
so enervated for a long time
536
00:59:13,521 --> 00:59:14,688
We still haven't discussed the war
537
00:59:14,854 --> 00:59:16,021
How can we leave?
538
00:59:16,188 --> 00:59:18,521
His answer is within his music
539
00:59:18,688 --> 00:59:22,104
He will fight this war
540
00:59:26,021 --> 00:59:28,271
I think you two can be great partners
541
00:59:28,604 --> 00:59:30,104
His music tells me,
542
00:59:30,438 --> 00:59:32,438
that he needs friends
543
00:59:34,354 --> 00:59:37,104
Your music tells me
544
00:59:37,521 --> 00:59:41,521
that you need to fight this war
545
00:59:50,854 --> 00:59:52,438
Prime Minister,
546
00:59:52,771 --> 00:59:55,271
desire and obsession
547
00:59:55,521 --> 00:59:57,854
can also cause of headaches
548
00:59:58,271 --> 01:00:03,104
Have you not heard that
desire makes one young!
549
01:00:03,771 --> 01:00:06,771
This painting must be by Your Highness
550
01:00:07,188 --> 01:00:09,104
Her name is Xiao Qiao
551
01:00:09,438 --> 01:00:10,604
When I was young,
552
01:00:10,771 --> 01:00:13,688
her father thought very highly of me
553
01:00:14,188 --> 01:00:15,938
I saw her only once
554
01:00:16,521 --> 01:00:20,021
Now, she is the most beautiful
woman in the world
555
01:00:20,354 --> 01:00:22,771
and married to Zhou Yu
556
01:00:24,104 --> 01:00:26,354
After I pacify Wu,
557
01:00:26,938 --> 01:00:29,021
she will be mine
558
01:00:32,438 --> 01:00:33,688
Gentlemen, you are all here
559
01:00:33,938 --> 01:00:34,854
Yes, Your Highness!
560
01:00:35,021 --> 01:00:37,854
General Cai, your ships are well built!
561
01:00:38,021 --> 01:00:39,521
Thank you, Your Highness
562
01:00:39,604 --> 01:00:41,938
I have guarded Jingzhou for many years
563
01:00:42,188 --> 01:00:44,188
With the strength and
power of our current navy,
564
01:00:44,354 --> 01:00:45,521
we will surely defeat Wu
565
01:00:45,604 --> 01:00:47,104
Great! What?
566
01:00:47,188 --> 01:00:48,354
The two generals are saying,
567
01:00:48,521 --> 01:00:51,104
that our ground troops are just for show?
568
01:00:51,354 --> 01:00:54,521
General Xia-hou, while we Northerners
are great on horseback,
569
01:00:54,771 --> 01:00:57,104
the Southerners are experts on the water
570
01:00:57,354 --> 01:00:58,771
To destroy Wu,
571
01:00:59,104 --> 01:01:01,354
we will need the hard work
of General Cai and his navy!
572
01:01:01,521 --> 01:01:02,854
Thank you, Your Highness!
573
01:01:03,021 --> 01:01:04,104
General Cai,
574
01:01:04,354 --> 01:01:05,354
What...
575
01:01:05,604 --> 01:01:08,604
is the best food in the South?
576
01:01:09,604 --> 01:01:12,021
River fish is the best food
in the South, Your Highness
577
01:01:12,521 --> 01:01:13,438
Then...
578
01:01:14,021 --> 01:01:15,771
what is the worst thing about the South?
579
01:01:15,938 --> 01:01:17,771
The weather is the worst
580
01:01:17,938 --> 01:01:19,188
This is the windy season
581
01:01:19,521 --> 01:01:21,938
The wind can often be unpredictable
582
01:01:47,604 --> 01:02:12,688
Victory
583
01:02:16,354 --> 01:02:17,938
Six dragons lead my chariot
584
01:02:18,438 --> 01:02:21,438
I will ride the wind
with the greatest speed,
585
01:02:21,854 --> 01:02:24,104
with all of the feudal lords
under my command,
586
01:02:24,438 --> 01:02:29,021
to rule the world with one name
587
01:04:56,771 --> 01:05:01,188
On land and sea, with forces
numbering eight hundred thousand,
588
01:05:01,938 --> 01:05:05,271
I wish to meet Your Highness
at the hunt for Wu
589
01:05:05,938 --> 01:05:07,354
This Cao Cao
590
01:05:07,521 --> 01:05:09,438
really has some nerve
591
01:05:09,688 --> 01:05:13,188
What does he mean by a hunt for Wu?
592
01:05:14,688 --> 01:05:17,688
Brother, Smile!
593
01:05:18,021 --> 01:05:20,021
We will get through this
594
01:05:21,604 --> 01:05:24,771
They all want you to smile too
595
01:05:32,354 --> 01:05:34,354
When father was nineteen,
596
01:05:34,854 --> 01:05:38,271
he was known as the Tiger of the Southland
597
01:05:38,854 --> 01:05:43,688
When my late brother was twenty-six,
he conquered the Southland
598
01:05:45,854 --> 01:05:48,021
I am now twenty-six,
599
01:05:48,438 --> 01:05:51,021
yet I have done nothing!
600
01:05:54,188 --> 01:05:55,854
It seems that my achievements
601
01:05:56,188 --> 01:06:00,271
will never be able
to be compared to theirs
602
01:06:01,188 --> 01:06:02,938
No matter how hard I try,
603
01:06:03,854 --> 01:06:07,438
those old advisors call me worthless
604
01:06:14,521 --> 01:06:15,771
Brother?
605
01:06:18,438 --> 01:06:19,604
You came at the right time...
606
01:06:19,688 --> 01:06:22,771
He will not listen or even smile
607
01:06:22,938 --> 01:06:23,938
My Lord,
608
01:06:26,521 --> 01:06:27,604
What is it?
609
01:06:27,688 --> 01:06:31,271
Cao Cao requests our surrender.
See for yourself
610
01:06:56,938 --> 01:06:59,188
You have not used this for a long time
611
01:07:02,188 --> 01:07:03,521
Let's go
612
01:08:36,021 --> 01:08:38,021
He is cunning
613
01:08:38,771 --> 01:08:40,854
Do you see him?
614
01:08:41,688 --> 01:08:45,271
This beast is watching us
615
01:08:45,854 --> 01:08:49,688
He is sinister, playing with his prey
616
01:08:50,188 --> 01:08:51,938
Is he not like Cao Cao?
617
01:08:52,854 --> 01:08:56,354
Though Cao Cao is Prime Minister,
he is the real traitor,
618
01:08:56,854 --> 01:08:58,771
always ambushing from the darkness
619
01:08:59,188 --> 01:09:02,188
In the entire world,
not one person likes him
620
01:09:02,688 --> 01:09:06,188
Brother, what are you afraid of?
621
01:09:09,521 --> 01:09:11,104
There!
622
01:09:21,938 --> 01:09:22,854
To be honest,
623
01:09:23,104 --> 01:09:25,271
I was prepared for war
with Cao Cao three years ago
624
01:09:25,604 --> 01:09:27,438
Cao Cao claims to have
an army of eight hundred thousand,
625
01:09:27,688 --> 01:09:30,271
yet many are surrendered
troops he cannot trust
626
01:09:30,604 --> 01:09:33,688
He can actually use only
one hundred thousand of them at most
627
01:09:34,021 --> 01:09:35,271
Our troops have high morale
628
01:09:35,688 --> 01:09:39,521
We have knowledge of the Yangtze River
and greater naval expertise
629
01:09:40,104 --> 01:09:42,021
Moreover, Cao Cao has no
justifiable reason for his war
630
01:09:42,604 --> 01:09:43,354
But those senior advisors!
631
01:09:43,438 --> 01:09:45,854
They are only concerned about
protecting themselves
632
01:09:46,104 --> 01:09:48,104
You need not listen to them
633
01:09:50,188 --> 01:09:52,271
Your late brother once told you
634
01:09:52,521 --> 01:09:55,021
that you are a better administrator,
635
01:09:55,354 --> 01:09:58,854
but that he is a better commander
636
01:10:01,021 --> 01:10:03,354
That made you lose confidence
637
01:10:03,521 --> 01:10:06,771
But he only said that
to make you strive to surpass him
638
01:10:15,771 --> 01:10:16,771
Tiger!
639
01:10:16,938 --> 01:10:18,104
Help them!
640
01:10:18,938 --> 01:10:20,104
Go quickly
641
01:10:20,688 --> 01:10:21,771
Get out of here
642
01:10:23,354 --> 01:10:25,021
Can you walk?
643
01:10:25,188 --> 01:10:26,688
Are you alright?
644
01:10:33,438 --> 01:10:35,854
The beast is over there!
645
01:10:53,104 --> 01:10:54,104
Go
646
01:10:54,938 --> 01:10:57,188
Do not hesitate anymore
647
01:13:29,563 --> 01:13:31,396
My decision to fight Cao Cao is final
648
01:13:31,938 --> 01:13:34,271
If anyone dares mention surrender,
649
01:13:34,646 --> 01:13:38,688
he will end up like this table
650
01:13:44,563 --> 01:13:45,563
Zhou Yu!
651
01:13:46,021 --> 01:13:47,021
Cheng Pu!
652
01:13:47,438 --> 01:13:48,521
Lu Su!
653
01:13:49,188 --> 01:13:51,271
Ay!
654
01:13:51,563 --> 01:13:52,521
I hereby appoint
655
01:14:01,146 --> 01:14:02,688
Zhou Yu as the Viceroy in Chief,
656
01:14:03,063 --> 01:14:04,521
Cheng Pu the Lieutenant Viceroy,
657
01:14:04,771 --> 01:14:06,646
and Lu Su as the Consulting Commander
658
01:14:07,021 --> 01:14:08,813
We will form an alliance with Liu Bei,
659
01:14:09,229 --> 01:14:11,021
to stop Cao Cao's invasion
660
01:14:11,438 --> 01:14:13,104
Understood!
661
01:14:43,021 --> 01:14:47,813
It seems that war is inevitable
662
01:14:49,479 --> 01:14:51,188
We cannot stop Cao Cao's invasion
663
01:14:51,521 --> 01:14:54,313
But maybe this one
will prevent future wars
664
01:14:57,146 --> 01:14:59,688
Just as long as there are no more wars
665
01:15:25,146 --> 01:15:27,188
Isn't this one just like yours?
666
01:15:28,396 --> 01:15:32,271
You sure know how to
replicate my handwriting
667
01:15:36,771 --> 01:15:38,854
Do you know why I wrote
so many 'Ping Ans'?
668
01:15:39,396 --> 01:15:40,646
Ping An' means peace!
669
01:15:41,104 --> 01:15:45,104
So... why so many peaces?
670
01:15:47,146 --> 01:15:49,021
'Ping An' is
671
01:15:52,771 --> 01:15:53,938
a name...
672
01:16:12,271 --> 01:16:13,271
Come,
673
01:16:14,729 --> 01:16:16,354
what do you hear?
674
01:16:16,938 --> 01:16:18,521
Listen carefully
675
01:16:53,646 --> 01:16:55,688
I have heard rumours
676
01:16:56,229 --> 01:16:58,438
that all the families
are leaving Red Cliff
677
01:16:59,104 --> 01:17:00,396
When...
678
01:17:00,813 --> 01:17:02,813
When will I leave?
679
01:17:03,229 --> 01:17:05,146
I won't let you leave
680
01:17:05,688 --> 01:17:08,313
I want you to remain by my side
681
01:18:34,646 --> 01:18:36,813
One more time! Hurry!
682
01:18:57,146 --> 01:18:58,479
General Zhao
683
01:19:02,063 --> 01:19:03,438
Chief Strategist, you are back!
684
01:19:04,021 --> 01:19:07,021
This is Wu's Viceroy in Chief, Zhou Yu
685
01:19:09,604 --> 01:19:14,479
Guan! Guan! The ospreys cried
686
01:19:14,646 --> 01:19:18,938
from the sandy river side
687
01:19:19,021 --> 01:19:23,479
Lovely maiden, modest and fair,
688
01:19:23,646 --> 01:19:28,813
makes a fine match for the gentleman
689
01:19:28,979 --> 01:19:31,104
We have no food,
what good is reading a book?
690
01:19:31,354 --> 01:19:32,604
When you grow up, you will find out
691
01:19:32,813 --> 01:19:36,854
that reading now will give you food later
692
01:19:37,354 --> 01:19:40,229
Well, let us read one more time
693
01:20:02,271 --> 01:20:03,271
Great Calligraphy!
694
01:20:03,563 --> 01:20:05,188
Damn!
695
01:20:05,521 --> 01:20:07,229
What do you think you are doing!
696
01:20:13,271 --> 01:20:15,313
I have always admired
General Zhang's famous roar
697
01:20:15,646 --> 01:20:19,854
To defeat Cao Cao,
we need men with your temper
698
01:20:20,021 --> 01:20:21,646
This way please, Viceroy
699
01:20:38,104 --> 01:20:39,688
My Lord, they are here
700
01:20:40,146 --> 01:20:41,771
Your journey has been hard
701
01:20:44,229 --> 01:20:45,979
This is Viceroy Zhou Yu,
702
01:20:46,229 --> 01:20:47,354
Lieutenant Viceroy Cheng Pu,
703
01:20:47,604 --> 01:20:48,646
Consulting Commander Lu Su,
704
01:20:48,813 --> 01:20:49,979
and Veteran General Huang Gai
705
01:20:51,479 --> 01:20:52,979
Greetings, Lord Mayor Liu
706
01:20:53,979 --> 01:20:55,604
Gentlemen,
707
01:20:56,021 --> 01:20:57,979
the Duke has helped all of us
by sending these troops
708
01:20:58,396 --> 01:21:00,646
I am sincerely thankful
709
01:21:00,813 --> 01:21:01,979
An alliance is a friendship
710
01:21:02,479 --> 01:21:04,813
Friends, need not be so formal
711
01:21:05,563 --> 01:21:06,813
Dare I ask, Your Honor,
712
01:21:07,063 --> 01:21:08,688
how many soldiers
do you have under your command?
713
01:21:08,938 --> 01:21:10,021
Thirty-thousand
714
01:21:10,521 --> 01:21:12,021
Thirty-thousand...
715
01:21:14,813 --> 01:21:17,354
thirty-thousand men, are too few
716
01:21:17,688 --> 01:21:19,854
Our men are too few?
717
01:21:20,438 --> 01:21:22,396
Your army was defeated by just one blow!
718
01:21:22,604 --> 01:21:23,979
What battles have you won?
719
01:21:24,354 --> 01:21:26,354
Speak up. I only worry we might
laugh ourselves to death
720
01:21:26,729 --> 01:21:28,146
So what?
721
01:21:28,479 --> 01:21:30,021
What's worse than a defeated army?
722
01:21:30,271 --> 01:21:30,938
What is wrong with defeat?
723
01:21:31,104 --> 01:21:33,313
Better to be a loser than a coward
724
01:21:33,563 --> 01:21:34,646
What are you saying?
725
01:21:34,979 --> 01:21:35,854
I dare you
726
01:21:36,063 --> 01:21:37,313
Brother, stop
727
01:21:38,188 --> 01:21:39,354
Brother!
728
01:21:42,646 --> 01:21:44,188
We are not building an alliance
729
01:21:44,396 --> 01:21:46,229
We are making enemies
730
01:21:46,646 --> 01:21:49,938
Viceroy Zhou, what is your opinion?
731
01:21:55,604 --> 01:21:56,604
At this time of crisis,
732
01:21:56,854 --> 01:21:58,854
you can still weave straw sandals?
733
01:21:59,271 --> 01:22:01,104
This has been a habit of mine for years
734
01:22:01,521 --> 01:22:03,896
We have walked a long way
wearing these shoes
735
01:22:04,229 --> 01:22:05,521
Whenever our shoes are worn out,
736
01:22:05,854 --> 01:22:08,521
Big Brother weaves new ones
with his own hands
737
01:22:08,688 --> 01:22:09,688
Exactly
738
01:22:19,063 --> 01:22:21,021
It really is strong
739
01:22:27,563 --> 01:22:30,271
I am surprised that
such weak strands of grass,
740
01:22:30,771 --> 01:22:33,313
can become so strong
after you weaved them together
741
01:22:41,854 --> 01:22:44,729
You have a noble Lord, and brave generals
742
01:22:44,979 --> 01:22:46,396
Generals Guan, Zhang and Zhao
743
01:22:46,438 --> 01:22:47,729
are all invincible warriors
on the battlefield
744
01:22:48,271 --> 01:22:51,604
An army high in spirits can fight
an enemy ten times its size
745
01:22:53,188 --> 01:22:56,146
We sons of Wu, must protect our homeland
746
01:22:56,354 --> 01:22:58,479
We will also do our best
747
01:22:58,688 --> 01:23:00,438
I have only one dream
748
01:23:00,646 --> 01:23:03,021
A dream for all;
749
01:23:03,354 --> 01:23:06,354
that is for all of us to unite!
750
01:23:07,896 --> 01:23:10,604
United, no one can pull us apart!
751
01:23:28,479 --> 01:23:29,604
I'm here!
752
01:23:30,854 --> 01:23:31,938
Why are you here?
753
01:23:32,021 --> 01:23:33,021
To go to war!
754
01:23:34,354 --> 01:23:35,354
War?
755
01:23:35,729 --> 01:23:38,521
War is no joking matter!
756
01:23:41,146 --> 01:23:42,938
You think that I'm here to joke around?
757
01:23:43,021 --> 01:23:44,146
A woman should share the responsibility
758
01:23:44,313 --> 01:23:45,646
for the rise and fall of the Kingdom
759
01:23:46,146 --> 01:23:48,146
So should a horse!
760
01:23:49,021 --> 01:23:50,313
Don't go! Come back!
761
01:23:51,229 --> 01:23:52,313
Don't be like my brother!
762
01:23:52,479 --> 01:23:53,646
Talk to me!
763
01:23:54,021 --> 01:23:55,104
She is...?
764
01:23:55,188 --> 01:23:58,063
Our Princess, Sun Shang Xiang
765
01:24:00,021 --> 01:24:03,438
Princess, have you ever been to war?
766
01:24:04,854 --> 01:24:06,521
There is a first time for everything!
767
01:24:06,729 --> 01:24:08,646
After I fought my first war,
768
01:24:08,938 --> 01:24:10,771
I never wished for a second
769
01:24:11,271 --> 01:24:13,479
I think, if she encounters any Cao troops,
770
01:24:13,646 --> 01:24:17,188
her hands will tremble with fear,
as if she were waving
771
01:24:17,646 --> 01:24:18,563
Princess,
772
01:24:18,646 --> 01:24:22,396
I see you better off at home,
making your flower weavings
773
01:24:27,604 --> 01:24:29,146
She seem a very ambitious young lady
774
01:24:29,646 --> 01:24:33,521
She is a tomboy. She likes fighting
775
01:24:34,229 --> 01:24:37,063
Her maids are all fully armed
776
01:24:38,396 --> 01:24:40,354
Who would dare marry her?
777
01:24:41,021 --> 01:24:42,813
What are you doing?
778
01:25:12,729 --> 01:25:14,438
What did you say to my horse!
779
01:25:15,021 --> 01:25:17,813
I told him that his rider
780
01:25:18,104 --> 01:25:20,479
is a scoundrel!
781
01:25:21,563 --> 01:25:23,479
Get up!
782
01:25:25,563 --> 01:25:27,438
Don't pull so hard!
783
01:25:42,938 --> 01:25:43,521
Hey!
784
01:25:44,104 --> 01:25:45,896
Hey!
785
01:27:06,729 --> 01:27:08,021
Turn towards me
786
01:27:21,271 --> 01:27:22,604
Prime Minister!
787
01:27:23,021 --> 01:27:23,938
Prime Minister,
788
01:27:24,021 --> 01:27:26,521
a messenger from Wu has arrived!
789
01:27:29,938 --> 01:27:31,521
Bring him forth! Yes sir!
790
01:27:35,854 --> 01:27:37,021
This way please
791
01:27:44,854 --> 01:27:46,729
Did Sun Quan receive my letter?
792
01:27:47,354 --> 01:27:48,354
He did
793
01:27:48,396 --> 01:27:49,729
What is his reply?
794
01:28:21,854 --> 01:28:24,229
This page is blank.
What is the meaning of this?
795
01:28:24,521 --> 01:28:26,021
They intend to fight,
796
01:28:26,396 --> 01:28:30,646
so they did not bother to write a reply
797
01:28:31,063 --> 01:28:33,479
Have him, beheaded!
798
01:28:34,021 --> 01:28:35,063
Prime Minister,
799
01:28:35,146 --> 01:28:37,771
Liu Bei must have already
formed an alliance with Wu,
800
01:28:38,021 --> 01:28:40,604
brazenly opposing the empire
801
01:28:48,438 --> 01:28:51,604
Who will command their alliance?
802
01:28:51,771 --> 01:28:54,813
Prime Minister, I guess it will be Zhou Yu
803
01:28:55,229 --> 01:28:58,063
Zhou Yu is known not for his
military abilities, but his musical talent
804
01:28:58,229 --> 01:29:00,188
How can such a man lead an army?
805
01:29:00,438 --> 01:29:02,479
Prime Minister, for years,
806
01:29:02,646 --> 01:29:04,604
Zhou Yu has remained our toughest opponent
807
01:29:04,771 --> 01:29:06,021
Indeed, he is a skilled musician,
808
01:29:06,188 --> 01:29:07,938
but he is an even better naval commander
809
01:29:08,271 --> 01:29:09,854
We have suffered considerable
losses against him
810
01:29:10,063 --> 01:29:12,354
Please do not underestimate him
811
01:29:14,146 --> 01:29:15,396
You sure do
812
01:29:15,688 --> 01:29:17,646
give him a lot of credit!
813
01:29:20,063 --> 01:29:21,021
Prime Minister,
814
01:29:21,438 --> 01:29:23,271
there is one other man
we cannot underestimate!
815
01:29:23,563 --> 01:29:25,479
Who is it? That is
816
01:29:26,104 --> 01:29:27,688
Zhu-ge Liang
817
01:30:12,563 --> 01:30:16,396
To the first hero
who sacrificed his life for Wu
818
01:30:40,813 --> 01:30:42,563
In the battle of Guandu,
819
01:30:42,938 --> 01:30:45,604
Cao Cao cut off the noses of
a thousand prisoners of war
820
01:30:46,729 --> 01:30:48,188
He boxed and returned those noses,
821
01:30:48,396 --> 01:30:50,854
instantly crushing his opponent's morale
822
01:30:50,938 --> 01:30:51,979
Today,
823
01:30:52,063 --> 01:30:54,688
he beheaded a man of Wu
824
01:30:55,021 --> 01:30:57,979
to crush our morale!
825
01:30:59,646 --> 01:31:01,188
But, we men of Wu are not cowards,
826
01:31:01,563 --> 01:31:03,313
and we are not afraid
827
01:31:03,771 --> 01:31:05,479
I have been waiting for this day!
828
01:31:06,979 --> 01:31:08,021
I'm here!
829
01:31:08,604 --> 01:31:09,563
What a commotion!
830
01:31:09,604 --> 01:31:12,188
I won't miss tomorrow's battle
831
01:31:17,563 --> 01:31:18,521
Zilong,
832
01:31:19,146 --> 01:31:21,354
have there been any problems
with the allied training?
833
01:31:21,688 --> 01:31:22,938
The two armies have different
codes of conduct,
834
01:31:23,229 --> 01:31:26,188
so at the start,
there were a few minor conflicts
835
01:31:26,521 --> 01:31:29,021
But, rest assured, I am training them well
836
01:31:46,104 --> 01:31:48,646
Zhou Yu likes naval battles?
837
01:31:49,146 --> 01:31:50,646
Generals Cai Mao and Zhang Yun,
838
01:31:50,896 --> 01:31:52,229
I know you cannot wait any longer!
839
01:31:52,271 --> 01:31:53,354
Very well,
840
01:31:53,646 --> 01:31:56,604
you two are to command our navy
to set sail down south
841
01:31:57,188 --> 01:31:58,813
Cai Mao leads a strong navy
842
01:31:59,021 --> 01:32:01,104
The water current and wind
are all to their advantage
843
01:32:01,479 --> 01:32:03,104
So, we can launch our naval invasion
844
01:32:03,188 --> 01:32:04,979
Prime Minister, when shall we set out?
845
01:32:05,146 --> 01:32:06,479
Tomorrow, before dawn
846
01:32:06,813 --> 01:32:08,604
He cannot wait.
He will launch the attack tonight
847
01:32:08,771 --> 01:32:10,229
No,
848
01:32:11,021 --> 01:32:12,271
make it tonight!
849
01:32:12,521 --> 01:32:15,479
Would he take action so hastily?
850
01:32:15,896 --> 01:32:18,563
There is only one word to describe
his military tactics. Speed!
851
01:32:18,646 --> 01:32:21,313
In the battle of Xinye,
Cao Cao's elite cavalries
852
01:32:21,479 --> 01:32:23,188
rushed one hundred and fifty miles
in just three days
853
01:32:23,563 --> 01:32:25,729
We had no chance to prepare
854
01:32:26,896 --> 01:32:28,813
He places surrendered troops
on the frontline,
855
01:32:29,104 --> 01:32:31,063
while his own trusted army
remains in the back
856
01:32:31,479 --> 01:32:32,854
Cao Hong, Zhang Liao
857
01:32:33,229 --> 01:32:35,479
You are to lead the naval forces
on the second front
858
01:32:35,771 --> 01:32:36,729
Xia-hou Jun and Wei Ben,
859
01:32:37,021 --> 01:32:38,313
you are to lead the cavalry west
860
01:32:38,563 --> 01:32:41,438
to provide cover for the navy!
861
01:32:41,729 --> 01:32:43,521
If the navy is so powerful,
862
01:32:43,854 --> 01:32:46,354
why would they need us for cover?
863
01:32:51,563 --> 01:32:55,271
Where will their main target be?
864
01:32:58,729 --> 01:32:59,813
Right here!
865
01:33:12,854 --> 01:33:15,104
That is the reason why
you camped in Red Cliff
866
01:33:15,688 --> 01:33:16,938
You have foreseen this
867
01:33:17,354 --> 01:33:19,021
Yet someone said that
my formations are outdated
868
01:33:19,438 --> 01:33:22,354
I have an even more outdated one
869
01:33:33,521 --> 01:33:35,021
Bagua formation
870
01:33:35,813 --> 01:33:37,271
It is indeed outdated
871
01:33:37,729 --> 01:33:42,104
But when used appropriately,
it will be very effective
872
01:33:47,479 --> 01:33:49,188
What are you all talking about?
873
01:33:49,813 --> 01:33:53,854
How can this Bagua formation
be used on water?
874
01:33:58,979 --> 01:34:02,146
Once you drop, it sinks!
875
01:34:04,938 --> 01:34:07,396
If they think I will use the navy,
876
01:34:07,688 --> 01:34:11,354
then Zhou Yu and Zhu-ge Liang
really are stupid
877
01:34:11,771 --> 01:34:14,229
General Cai, your navy is only a diversion
878
01:34:14,479 --> 01:34:15,188
Understood!
879
01:34:15,229 --> 01:34:16,354
Xia-hou Jun and Wei Ben,
880
01:34:16,563 --> 01:34:18,938
take two thousand cavalries by land
881
01:34:19,021 --> 01:34:20,146
and catch them off-guard
882
01:34:20,229 --> 01:34:22,646
The majority of the Cao force
is land infantry
883
01:34:22,896 --> 01:34:26,979
Would Cao Cao attack by water?
884
01:34:27,813 --> 01:34:29,771
What are you thinking of?
885
01:34:30,271 --> 01:34:31,688
Cao Cao never speaks of
his true intentions,
886
01:34:31,729 --> 01:34:34,063
even to his own followers
887
01:34:34,563 --> 01:34:36,896
Truth and illusion are often
disguised as each other
888
01:34:37,188 --> 01:34:38,521
Cao Cao likes to play this game,
889
01:34:38,854 --> 01:34:41,313
both with friends and with foes
890
01:34:48,646 --> 01:34:52,521
What are you doing?
Putting that land tortoise in water?
891
01:36:07,813 --> 01:36:10,021
Halt!
892
01:36:25,354 --> 01:36:26,521
Reporting!
893
01:36:27,146 --> 01:36:29,354
No signs of the Wu army,
within eight miles of the rear hill!
894
01:36:29,563 --> 01:36:32,521
Nor any trace of civilians!
895
01:36:34,104 --> 01:36:37,188
All have fled, except for
a tortoise in its shell!
896
01:36:50,313 --> 01:36:51,229
Charge!
897
01:36:51,313 --> 01:36:52,271
There may be an ambush
898
01:36:52,354 --> 01:36:53,979
Am I afraid of a few young girls?
899
01:38:37,188 --> 01:38:39,104
Shoot!
900
01:40:37,854 --> 01:40:39,021
The enemy has entered the trap
901
01:40:39,438 --> 01:40:42,938
This Bagua formation
is not at all outdated!
902
01:40:44,979 --> 01:40:46,438
Form up!
903
01:41:27,646 --> 01:41:28,646
It's a trap!
904
01:41:28,771 --> 01:41:30,521
I predicted this ambush
905
01:41:31,521 --> 01:41:34,146
Damn! Now the advantage is theirs
906
01:42:09,021 --> 01:42:11,313
Kill them
907
01:42:26,646 --> 01:42:27,646
Get back in formation!
908
01:42:27,729 --> 01:42:31,188
Break through the shields
and attack the enemy!
909
01:43:52,979 --> 01:43:54,688
Charge!
910
01:48:48,854 --> 01:48:52,479
Signal the cavalry!
Break through their encirclement!
911
01:48:53,063 --> 01:48:55,396
I will kill Zhou Yu for this!
912
01:49:56,396 --> 01:49:58,854
Turn!
913
01:50:20,396 --> 01:50:21,854
Charge!
914
01:51:21,604 --> 01:51:24,271
Attack! Kill them!
915
01:51:35,771 --> 01:51:36,854
Get back in formation!
916
01:51:37,063 --> 01:51:38,771
Hang in there!
917
01:51:41,354 --> 01:51:42,604
Hang in there!
918
01:52:52,479 --> 01:52:54,688
Viceroy!
919
01:55:01,021 --> 01:55:02,021
Come on!
920
01:55:18,229 --> 01:55:20,688
Attack!
921
01:56:03,938 --> 01:56:06,688
Great! This is great!
922
01:56:35,729 --> 01:56:37,354
Get out!
923
01:57:08,271 --> 01:57:09,646
Reporting!
924
01:57:10,229 --> 01:57:11,146
Your Honor,
925
01:57:11,229 --> 01:57:14,688
Cao Cao's fleet is sailing
towards Red Cliff
926
01:57:35,354 --> 01:57:36,854
Prime Minister, our army was defeated!
927
01:57:36,938 --> 01:57:39,604
Our cavalries have never lost a battle
928
01:57:39,813 --> 01:57:45,229
It is only a slight setback.
No need to panic
929
01:57:47,021 --> 01:57:51,021
They managed to outfox this old fox
930
01:57:51,354 --> 01:57:52,354
Look,
931
01:57:52,896 --> 01:57:55,438
even though we came a long way on water,
932
01:57:55,854 --> 01:57:58,521
not one allied ship
was there to counterattack
933
01:57:58,813 --> 01:58:01,813
Instead, they ambushed our ground forces
934
01:58:02,104 --> 01:58:04,521
They were ready for us
935
01:58:04,938 --> 01:58:07,104
The war against these rebels
936
01:58:07,521 --> 01:58:09,396
shall not be underestimated
937
01:58:09,688 --> 01:58:10,604
Prime Minister,
938
01:58:10,688 --> 01:58:12,479
since they do not have
an adequate naval defense,
939
01:58:12,646 --> 01:58:15,354
let's send out our navy
to destroy the allies!
940
01:58:15,729 --> 01:58:17,354
I would rather spend more time
941
01:58:17,521 --> 01:58:20,021
preparing my troops for the naval battle
942
01:58:20,604 --> 01:58:24,188
Sooner or later,
we will get across the river
943
01:58:24,563 --> 01:58:28,354
I am still waiting to carve
my poetry onto that cliff
944
01:58:29,479 --> 01:58:32,854
Right there! Make camp,
945
01:58:33,938 --> 01:58:36,438
right across from Red Cliff
946
01:58:37,771 --> 01:58:44,688
Victory! Victory!
947
01:59:22,229 --> 01:59:23,688
So many ships
948
01:59:25,229 --> 01:59:26,688
If we used them as firewood,
949
01:59:26,938 --> 01:59:29,938
it would take a hundred years
to burn them all!
950
01:59:30,271 --> 01:59:32,021
How can we beat them?
951
01:59:32,396 --> 01:59:34,854
Cao Cao claimed to have
an army of eight hundred thousand
952
01:59:35,021 --> 01:59:36,854
It looks like he really does
953
01:59:37,229 --> 01:59:39,188
So what if he has
eight hundred thousand troops?
954
01:59:39,521 --> 01:59:42,271
With only one tortoise,
we stalled his army
955
01:59:42,354 --> 01:59:43,354
Exactly!
956
01:59:43,438 --> 01:59:47,021
The delay has taken away their momentum
957
01:59:48,729 --> 01:59:50,188
What do you think?
958
01:59:51,813 --> 01:59:54,479
Rather than attacking
directly with his navy,
959
01:59:54,646 --> 01:59:57,646
Cao Cao tried a rear sneak
attack with his cavalry
960
01:59:57,979 --> 02:00:00,479
He made a mistake
961
02:00:01,354 --> 02:00:04,438
Now, he will change his tactics
962
02:00:04,813 --> 02:00:06,354
and begin using his navy
963
02:00:07,104 --> 02:00:10,313
Cao Cao used only two thousand troops,
to discover our strengths
964
02:00:10,729 --> 02:00:12,688
But we know nothing of our enemy
965
02:00:13,229 --> 02:00:16,188
We can only wait for their next attack
966
02:00:20,854 --> 02:00:22,688
How is your arrow wound?
967
02:00:24,563 --> 02:00:26,896
Fine. It's only a slight wound
968
02:00:27,104 --> 02:00:29,104
I owe you this one
969
02:00:30,313 --> 02:00:32,146
Take it easy
970
02:00:33,563 --> 02:00:55,438
Victory! Victory!
971
02:00:55,521 --> 02:00:58,188
They are cheering for victory too early
972
02:00:58,646 --> 02:01:00,854
With such a good morale,
what is there to fear?
973
02:01:01,104 --> 02:01:04,604
We need good spirits to win this war
974
02:01:18,479 --> 02:01:19,688
Your Honor!
975
02:01:20,063 --> 02:01:22,646
This medicine will cure
the wound very quickly
976
02:01:22,938 --> 02:01:24,354
Please bear with the pain
977
02:01:44,229 --> 02:01:45,688
Let me do this
978
02:02:37,104 --> 02:02:40,104
Let me do something for a wounded soldier
979
02:02:41,604 --> 02:02:44,104
How does my bandage look?
980
02:02:44,646 --> 02:02:47,104
You wrapped me up like a rice dumpling
981
02:02:51,604 --> 02:02:56,188
It seems that Cao Cao
isn't as fierce as he seems
982
02:02:58,563 --> 02:02:59,896
He is indeed fierce
983
02:03:00,354 --> 02:03:02,313
He is a seasoned military commander
984
02:03:02,813 --> 02:03:04,979
He will do anything within
his power to gain victory
985
02:03:05,229 --> 02:03:07,188
He knows how to command an army,
986
02:03:08,521 --> 02:03:10,813
but he has no friends
987
02:03:11,229 --> 02:03:14,188
Cao Cao is unlike you
988
02:03:23,021 --> 02:03:24,104
This toast
989
02:03:24,313 --> 02:03:26,229
is for Viceroy Zhou!
990
02:03:26,854 --> 02:03:28,604
To Viceroy Zhou!
991
02:03:30,438 --> 02:03:31,688
Me too! For Viceroy Zhou!
992
02:03:31,854 --> 02:03:34,313
I hope he can recover soon
993
02:03:34,938 --> 02:03:37,521
Toast!
994
02:03:42,979 --> 02:03:45,021
We joined forces under pressure
995
02:03:45,354 --> 02:03:47,354
but were successful beyond
our wildest dreams
996
02:03:47,646 --> 02:03:50,271
Our brilliant victory shocked Cao Cao!
997
02:03:51,354 --> 02:03:52,479
Duke,
998
02:03:52,688 --> 02:03:55,146
I have a difficult favor to ask for you
999
02:03:55,313 --> 02:03:56,813
One hundred thousand refugees
1000
02:03:57,146 --> 02:03:59,146
followed us from Xinye City
1001
02:03:59,438 --> 02:04:01,521
I have no land on which to settle them
1002
02:04:01,771 --> 02:04:03,521
After defeating Cao Cao,
1003
02:04:03,771 --> 02:04:06,521
I would like you to let me
use Jingzhou to settle the people
1004
02:04:06,729 --> 02:04:08,563
Jingzhou is the heartland of the Yangtze
1005
02:04:08,771 --> 02:04:09,979
and a most valuable strategic location
1006
02:04:10,104 --> 02:04:11,479
How could you?
1007
02:04:14,563 --> 02:04:17,521
Only a righteous leader
1008
02:04:18,104 --> 02:04:20,563
owns his land
1009
02:04:20,646 --> 02:04:21,854
Indeed,
1010
02:04:22,063 --> 02:04:24,021
a righteous leader
1011
02:04:24,229 --> 02:04:26,188
may only need a small piece of land
1012
02:04:26,646 --> 02:04:27,479
The Kingdom is vast,
1013
02:04:27,771 --> 02:04:29,813
vast enough to shelter all refugees
1014
02:04:30,188 --> 02:04:32,021
But I am only afraid that
1015
02:04:32,188 --> 02:04:33,604
once soldiers settle in,
they will never leave
1016
02:04:35,479 --> 02:04:37,188
Those in arms are all our own men
1017
02:04:37,813 --> 02:04:41,438
If a Lord is righteous,
then all the Kingdom's men are his to lead
1018
02:04:42,229 --> 02:04:43,146
Come,
1019
02:04:43,354 --> 02:04:44,604
let's drink up!
1020
02:04:44,771 --> 02:04:48,021
Toast!
1021
02:04:56,813 --> 02:05:00,021
The princess is a true heroine!
1022
02:05:05,438 --> 02:05:06,688
Lord Liu,
1023
02:05:07,021 --> 02:05:08,354
my younger sister,
1024
02:05:08,563 --> 02:05:11,313
has always admired great gentlemen
1025
02:05:11,563 --> 02:05:13,646
But since she is so fierce,
1026
02:05:14,021 --> 02:05:17,646
I have always worried about her marriage,
1027
02:05:18,563 --> 02:05:22,021
as it is difficult to seek
a suitable gentleman for her
1028
02:05:23,021 --> 02:05:24,188
Brother,
1029
02:05:24,563 --> 02:05:26,688
what are you talking about?
1030
02:05:27,063 --> 02:05:28,938
If the Liu and Sun families
become relatives,
1031
02:05:29,104 --> 02:05:32,854
Then it wouldn't matter how we divided
the land and men, would it?
1032
02:05:36,771 --> 02:05:38,729
The war has just begun
1033
02:05:39,063 --> 02:05:40,188
I...
1034
02:05:40,521 --> 02:05:43,479
have never thought of re-marrying,
1035
02:05:46,563 --> 02:05:48,021
but...
1036
02:06:03,146 --> 02:06:04,479
Brother,
1037
02:06:05,354 --> 02:06:07,229
you must be drunk
1038
02:06:07,646 --> 02:06:09,479
What do you take me for?
1039
02:06:10,771 --> 02:06:12,646
I have found you a fine match
1040
02:06:12,813 --> 02:06:14,604
What's wrong with that?
1041
02:06:16,854 --> 02:06:18,229
Fine
1042
02:06:18,563 --> 02:06:19,854
Then, I will have
1043
02:06:20,146 --> 02:06:22,146
a hundred of my armed maids
1044
02:06:22,354 --> 02:06:24,813
guarding my door,
1045
02:06:26,563 --> 02:06:28,521
and I dare you to step in...
1046
02:06:33,146 --> 02:06:34,354
and...
1047
02:06:35,521 --> 02:06:36,479
Oh, no
1048
02:06:42,771 --> 02:06:43,854
Big Brother!
1049
02:06:45,229 --> 02:06:46,438
Big Brother!
1050
02:06:49,896 --> 02:06:52,188
How rude!
1051
02:06:52,438 --> 02:06:53,938
Brother!
1052
02:06:55,396 --> 02:06:58,354
You have never learned to respect me!
1053
02:07:05,021 --> 02:07:08,354
That's strange. What did I do wrong?
1054
02:07:08,646 --> 02:07:10,688
Big Brother's acupuncture
points are locked
1055
02:07:11,563 --> 02:07:15,021
Brother! Wake up!
1056
02:07:40,063 --> 02:07:41,979
Whatever you do, don't kill my pigeons
1057
02:07:42,479 --> 02:07:45,854
Their acupuncture points are
different from those of men
1058
02:07:46,521 --> 02:07:48,688
I hope I didn't hurt your Lord
1059
02:07:49,479 --> 02:07:52,813
He wouldn't blame you,
even if you hurt him
1060
02:07:53,229 --> 02:07:54,813
Was I outrageously rude?
1061
02:07:55,146 --> 02:07:57,354
I think you are unique
1062
02:07:57,688 --> 02:08:01,354
It is the unique ones
who are the most misunderstood
1063
02:08:03,396 --> 02:08:06,938
I hate those arranged marriages
1064
02:08:07,396 --> 02:08:10,021
Women are pushed around
1065
02:08:10,229 --> 02:08:12,188
like chess pieces
1066
02:08:17,354 --> 02:08:18,354
You are feeding them too much
1067
02:08:18,438 --> 02:08:20,896
They won't be able to fly anymore
1068
02:08:30,438 --> 02:08:34,979
If only I was like them
1069
02:08:38,313 --> 02:08:40,854
You want to... fly?
1070
02:08:41,146 --> 02:08:43,938
I have been living in
the palace all my life
1071
02:08:44,438 --> 02:08:46,438
It is such a bore
1072
02:08:47,604 --> 02:08:50,271
Your talents exceed those of others,
1073
02:08:50,438 --> 02:08:52,688
yet you hide them
1074
02:08:54,688 --> 02:08:57,271
Only you can see them
1075
02:09:02,104 --> 02:09:06,563
I used to go hunting with
my brother across the shore
1076
02:09:07,188 --> 02:09:11,854
Back then, the field was full of
people dancing and praying
1077
02:09:12,354 --> 02:09:14,979
Now, it has all become dark and mysterious
1078
02:09:15,563 --> 02:09:18,979
Everything has changed now
that Cao Cao has come
1079
02:09:19,521 --> 02:09:21,854
Before they come here,
1080
02:09:23,063 --> 02:09:24,813
I will go over there
1081
02:09:25,271 --> 02:09:26,729
to take a peek
1082
02:09:26,938 --> 02:09:28,896
and stir up some trouble
1083
02:10:02,313 --> 02:10:05,729
Take care. The weather has turned cold
1084
02:10:08,563 --> 02:10:10,854
I have served the Prime Minister
1085
02:10:11,063 --> 02:10:12,646
for three days already
1086
02:10:12,979 --> 02:10:16,021
Yet, Your Highness
still does not know my name
1087
02:10:16,729 --> 02:10:19,563
My name is... Can you serve tea?
1088
02:10:22,521 --> 02:10:24,479
I can Do so
1089
02:10:46,313 --> 02:10:47,771
Prime Minister,
1090
02:10:48,229 --> 02:10:50,854
we can start the therapy today
1091
02:11:00,479 --> 02:11:03,188
Doctor, what's the matter?
1092
02:11:16,646 --> 02:11:17,938
Tea, Your Highness
1093
02:11:18,021 --> 02:11:19,521
Incorrect,
1094
02:11:21,979 --> 02:11:23,146
try again
1095
02:11:28,063 --> 02:11:30,104
Tea, Your Highness
1096
02:11:32,271 --> 02:11:33,854
That's the way
1097
02:11:34,521 --> 02:11:35,729
Xiao Qiao,
1098
02:11:35,813 --> 02:11:39,313
I have always admired
the way you serve tea
1099
02:11:45,063 --> 02:11:47,688
He started this war
1100
02:11:48,688 --> 02:11:51,771
all because of a woman?
1101
02:12:06,979 --> 02:12:08,146
What are you doing?
1102
02:12:09,521 --> 02:12:10,688
I just gave them a bath
1103
02:12:11,021 --> 02:12:13,188
and am drying them off
1104
02:12:14,688 --> 02:12:16,604
What if they catch a cold?
1105
02:12:19,771 --> 02:12:21,521
How is your wound?
1106
02:12:21,896 --> 02:12:23,146
It's fine
1107
02:12:24,021 --> 02:12:26,438
I heard last night was quite entertaining
1108
02:12:27,646 --> 02:12:31,563
Last night's celebration made me realize
1109
02:12:32,146 --> 02:12:35,938
that we may becomes enemies tomorrow
1110
02:12:40,479 --> 02:12:42,021
When that day comes,
1111
02:12:42,313 --> 02:12:44,979
you and I
1112
02:12:45,396 --> 02:12:48,229
will each serve our own sides
1113
02:12:49,896 --> 02:12:51,146
I cannot stand the thought
1114
02:12:51,479 --> 02:12:53,979
of a stand-off with you
1115
02:12:54,479 --> 02:12:56,771
I hope it never will happen
1116
02:12:57,313 --> 02:12:59,354
You are a brilliant commander
1117
02:13:00,146 --> 02:13:01,646
Fortunately, you are not on Cao Cao's side
1118
02:13:01,813 --> 02:13:03,813
Otherwise, you will be a big trouble
1119
02:13:24,146 --> 02:13:25,604
You've been looking across
the shore for two days now
1120
02:13:26,063 --> 02:13:28,396
What do you see?
1121
02:13:31,438 --> 02:13:33,313
I must remain calm
1122
02:13:35,521 --> 02:13:36,854
How about you?
1123
02:13:38,521 --> 02:13:41,021
I also need to remain calm
1124
02:13:44,771 --> 02:13:46,521
Cao Cao has no experience in naval affairs
1125
02:13:46,938 --> 02:13:48,771
To cross the river,
1126
02:13:49,146 --> 02:13:52,438
he must rely on Cai Mao and Zhang Yun
1127
02:13:53,354 --> 02:13:55,438
They are both Southerners
1128
02:13:55,854 --> 02:13:59,604
They know all the rocks
and currents in the river
1129
02:14:00,229 --> 02:14:02,188
If we can eliminate them,
1130
02:14:02,604 --> 02:14:06,688
half of the Cao navy will be paralysed
1131
02:14:10,979 --> 02:14:14,354
That... would be rather difficult
1132
02:14:22,063 --> 02:14:25,313
Cao Cao is always very wary of assassins,
1133
02:14:25,854 --> 02:14:32,229
just as his followers are
wary of his deadly temper
1134
02:14:39,604 --> 02:14:42,104
They have interesting fleet formations
1135
02:14:42,604 --> 02:14:44,354
Every formation has its weakness
1136
02:14:44,771 --> 02:14:46,854
It's only up to us to find it
1137
02:14:47,271 --> 02:14:49,521
That shouldn't be too difficult
1138
02:16:27,938 --> 02:16:29,854
Great!
1139
02:16:46,271 --> 02:16:49,479
I never imagined that our soldiers
are also great athletes!
1140
02:17:21,438 --> 02:17:23,771
This is what I call interesting!
1141
02:17:32,896 --> 02:17:35,688
Over all these years
we've been on the battlefields,
1142
02:17:35,854 --> 02:17:37,146
we were never once defeated
1143
02:17:37,396 --> 02:17:38,938
But like a game of Cuju,
1144
02:17:39,104 --> 02:17:43,813
it cannot be exciting
when one side always wins!
1145
02:17:44,938 --> 02:17:46,188
For the battle of Red Cliff,
1146
02:17:46,729 --> 02:17:48,938
we are ready
1147
02:17:49,313 --> 02:17:50,563
I want to see how those rebels react
1148
02:17:50,646 --> 02:17:53,688
once we throw out the ball!
1149
02:19:21,354 --> 02:19:25,979
Shaking the earth, waves hand in hand flow
1150
02:19:26,146 --> 02:19:30,813
No earthly wine can rival the moon's glow
1151
02:19:30,979 --> 02:19:35,021
A smile knows what no words can know
1152
02:19:35,354 --> 02:19:40,354
A passing glance and all is white snow
1153
02:19:40,646 --> 02:19:45,188
Let the mind, not the hands,
defend and fight
1154
02:19:45,396 --> 02:19:49,854
Walls of iron cannot stop our might
1155
02:19:50,146 --> 02:19:54,479
This life, not in vain, not in spite
1156
02:19:54,646 --> 02:19:59,604
From every crucible,
a phoenix takes flight
1157
02:19:59,771 --> 02:20:03,604
Wipe not our tears.
Let them dry on the air
1158
02:20:03,854 --> 02:20:09,104
This war is one our hearts declare
1159
02:20:09,354 --> 02:20:13,146
Victory won with beauty and flair
1160
02:20:13,396 --> 02:20:17,438
Rise together! Even a loss we can bear
1161
02:20:17,688 --> 02:20:20,104
No fear of this long night we share
1162
02:20:20,313 --> 02:20:22,354
Let the cries of war be our song
1163
02:20:22,563 --> 02:20:29,104
No comrade-in-arms
shall our memories wrong
1164
02:20:29,813 --> 02:20:32,104
White waves of the Yangtze so long
1165
02:20:32,271 --> 02:20:38,479
Seething, as before,
in our hearts so strong
1166
02:20:39,354 --> 02:20:48,188
Why not let the cries of war be our song?
1167
02:20:48,938 --> 02:20:57,813
Waves that crack the cliffs
shall not be wrong
1168
02:21:06,896 --> 02:21:11,354
Brief voices speak out,
from the heart they flow
1169
02:21:11,646 --> 02:21:16,313
No earthly wine can rival the moon's glow
1170
02:21:16,563 --> 02:21:20,688
A smile knows what no words can know
1171
02:21:20,938 --> 02:21:25,688
A passing glance and all is white snow
1172
02:21:26,063 --> 02:21:30,688
Let the mind, not the hands,
defend and fight
1173
02:21:30,896 --> 02:21:35,521
Walls of iron cannot stop our might
1174
02:21:35,813 --> 02:21:40,021
This life, not in vain, not in spite
1175
02:21:40,271 --> 02:21:45,188
From every crucible,
a phoenix takes flight
1176
02:21:45,354 --> 02:21:49,188
Minds in battle will clash and collide
1177
02:21:49,354 --> 02:21:54,521
in this war that our hearts decide
1178
02:21:55,021 --> 02:21:58,854
Let war bring peace to the world so wide
1179
02:21:59,021 --> 02:22:03,188
Rise up together and battle with pride!
1180
02:22:03,354 --> 02:22:05,688
Let no man fear the long night outside
1181
02:22:05,854 --> 02:22:08,021
Let the cries of war be our song
1182
02:22:08,229 --> 02:22:14,688
No comrade-in-arms
shall our memories wrong
1183
02:22:15,438 --> 02:22:17,604
White waves of the Yangtze so long
1184
02:22:17,854 --> 02:22:24,021
Seething, as before,
in our hearts so strong
1185
02:22:24,938 --> 02:22:33,813
Why not let the cries of war be our song?
1186
02:22:34,521 --> 02:22:43,938
Waves that crack the cliffs
shall not be wrong
1187
02:23:17,021 --> 02:23:18,854
A moment so fast, where did it fly?
1188
02:23:19,438 --> 02:23:23,854
A wine so sweet, let me drink it dry
1189
02:23:24,979 --> 02:23:28,604
A wound meant for my ally
1190
02:23:29,146 --> 02:23:33,354
is a medal I hold high
1191
02:23:33,938 --> 02:23:38,271
Every joy, every sigh
1192
02:23:38,813 --> 02:23:42,979
our laugh does belie
1193
02:23:43,396 --> 02:23:49,604
The moon lights the sky
1194
02:23:50,063 --> 02:23:54,021
Let us drink our glasses dry
