"A story from two thousand years ago..."
"The feast of Hong Men gate"
"Two years after the emperor Han Gaozu passed away, Grand teacher Gengshi came with his pupils to the Hong Men hall "
"In this Hong Men hall, there is a monument that mark the victory of Emperor Han Gaozu, Liu Bang against Xiang Yu"
Our Gaozu Emperor..
Shook the world..
his name is famous around the world..
Stoping a bloodbath, in his live, known as a true hero..
The great general with famous name that's reachs the four corner of the world
You see..!
Why these memorial tablets are witohout any names? Making peoples that seen them shaking in fear!
We better get ready to honour the late Emperor Gaozu!
Come on!
In this Hong Men banquet, against the cunning tactic of Xiang Yu he wasn't hesitate at all
Emperor Gaozu during the expedition to Xianyang,
Despite of boiling heat that days, he did not despair at all.
Emperor Gaozu was ambushed, sorrounded from four corner,
pressured by King of Chu Xiang Yu he was in the very dire........
Grand teacher! Whose tablet it is?
I'm still lecturing,
Why are you ask such silly question?
We'd better be preparing the homage for our late Gaozu emperor,
Have you finished all preparation?
Finished! We are finished, grand teacher!
Grand teacher! Where was the emperor Gaozu sit at that banquet?
You little devil! You usually not focused in following my lecture!
The emperor seated at north, facing south....
At that time, Xiang Yu think himsef as a king,
Of course he'seated at north,
So emperor Gaozu did not seated at south?
Did he seated beside Xiang Yu?
All of you come here, prepare to pay homage!
Emperor Gaozu in heaven,
your servants are paying respect for you!
Demon! Demon!
Actually I didn't want to interfere,
But after I saw that the knowledge of the grand teacher and his pupils about the emperor Gaozu are very good,
where he was seated wasn't so clear.
That's why I'm obliged to show myself.
He is a human!
who are you!?
What do you said?
Emperor Gaozu didn't seated at south?
Emperor Gaozu seated at here....
Mister! So, who are those memorial tablets behind the emperor Gaozu's belongs to?
They are the most important peoples in his (Gaozu) live.
- So why did their name weren't written? - That's right! That's right!
Why emperor Gaozu did not wrote their name in these tablets?
So whose tablet across there?
The memorial tablet across there were not other than,
Xiang Yu's himself!
Emperor Gaozu..
did not..
alone in confronting the enemy..
So he gang up with the others? That's a bullshit!
That's right! That's right!
If you want to listen to the story of Liu Bang - Xiang Yu,
you must start from the first time they met.
That day, the emperor Qin Shi Huang was preparing a sacrificial ceremony at the temple....
Emperor Qin is a tyrant,
was inviting heatred from everyone.
The guard escort was very tight that day,
Stand guard for every possibilities.
Xiang Yu, with his subordinates were waiting
beside the palanquin...
Preparing an assassination..
Let's act!
King of Xiang!
Who are they?
It's too late if we don't act now!
why there are the others?
Protect the emperor!
Who are they?
Capture the assassins!
Shoot the arrows!
Liu - Xiang, they both, fail in their assassination attempt...
because they didn't have one mind, did not consentious.
If not because of the influence of prince Chu Huai, they might not fight each others
Prince Chu Huai was a defeated king,
So how he get the capability to influence both Liu and Xiang?
Prince Chu Huai was born as the previous king of Chu,
He saw Liu - Xiang like seing two tigers.
He want to overthrow the Qin emperor first, after that they (Liu - Xiang) would both would fight each others.
In accord with the tactics of fire vs. fire from the three goddess strategy.
I beseech you..
for your guidance..
a strategy to save my kingdom!
Xiang - Liu are the two great heroes of our time, leave them to deal with Qin.
But they both are difficult to control,
They both want the authority of Qin empire
We will give you a strategy to pit those two tiger!
Please your majesty give them an order.
Whomever conquer the Xianyang first,
he will become the duke of Qin.
Both of Liu and Xiang were attacking from 2 sides
Your majesty will accept the final success, just like waiting the fish in the basket!
"3 days after the order, Xiang Yu were attacking, While Zhen Zhou were allied with Liu Bang"
General Qin has arrive
I just got an information from Qin hedquarter that 10 thosands reinforcements will come and help them
They have departed, in 3 hours they will arrive
If their reinforcement arrive first,
We surely will be lost.
unless before their reinforcement arrive, we have attack their fortress first.
If not, we...
Left general Liu Bang will attack first.
Hou Jie please convey my order to him!
Xiang Yu have so many troops, why we must attack first?
All depend to our both sides cooperation.
how can you differ us or them are first?
Xiau He,
why we must obey the order from Xiang Yu?
Xiahou Ying,
he is the chairman of the alliance
If he not attack first, there must be some reason.
Whomever affraid to die, don't go!
My lord! I'm fearless. But the man in my right side is different!
Xiau Kuai! Moreover you've died so many times!
Brothers!
What is our slogan all the time?
Erease the tyrany, bring the peace to the realm!
All of you, where are we going?
Back to our land!
what for we back to our land?
Back to our land to enjoy the wine!
shoot!
Xiang Zhuang! you'll go first!
Okay!
Sorround them!
Liu Bang are here looking for death!
Why Xiang Yu still not bring his toops in here?
It's clear that Xiang Yu want us to die!
My lord, why are you still won't mobilizing?
I'm still waiting someone!
Millitary command is in his hands, while we are sacrificed
We retreat!!!!!
Retreat!!
Want to retreat?
Grand general has arrived!
The man that I've been waiting are finally arrive!
Look at our rear!
retreat, we've been ambushed!!
This is an ambush, we've been ambushed!
General! Look there!
Chairman Xiang!
comeback!
Don't you listen what prince huai has said before?
Whomever attack Xianyang first he will become the duke of Qin
That's right!
The Qin army have come to this point
They are preparing to fight to the last man to save the Xianyang
So I've decided to intercept the reinforcement.
Provided that we defeated their reinforcement, Xianyang will surrender without battle
To subjugate Qin, we've only wait for the time to ripe!
But Qin military power is great, this battle will be very dangerous
I want to find someone... to escort back Yu Ji
Who is that man?
You!
"Pengcheng, 2 years before"
miss
Yu Ji! We've been late! Quick! come!
Stop there!
Master..
- Master! - how dare you!
How dare you singing a Chu song before the Qin officials!
Master
Yu Ji!
Master,
Chu kingdom has been destroyed
The peoples of Chu has become the peoples of Qin
So, haven't the Chu's song have also become Qin's?
You has sing this song beautifully
I'm also Chu citizen
Good!
If you are trullly the citizen of Qin
I want you to strip down your clothes
So everyone in here can see clearly,
If there is Qin or Chu inside, or if there is only Chu inside your heart
If you won't strip,
I will kill this boy
STRIP! STRIP!
Strip you clothes! strip!
Continue strip! STRIP!
Why?
I don't want to involve you
Do you like me?
Continue strip,
Or I'll kill him!
Are you willing to come with me?
I'm willing
You're seeking death!
Hero! I...!
Today we're become a blood brothers, how's that?
Please take care your sister in law
What happen today?
Not answering?
Who's angered you?
my lord!
Xiang Yu want you to escort sister in law to go back to her homeland?
Clearly he doesn't want you to contend with him in conquering Xianyang
Xiang Yu...
Is the chairman of the alliance.
The duke of Qin position...
is suppossedly him to take.
This world belong to everyone, so why it must belong to him?
My lord! A true man must have a great ambition,
It's necessary to be the firt to seize the opportunity
Especially when you want to conquer Xianyang to become the duke of Qin....
like has been ordered by prince Huai
If you loose this opportunity, to regret afterwards is useless
Xiau He,
It's allright if they both want to say like that,
Why don't you understand me?
My lord, I'm the only one that understand you most.
What do you understand in me?
Uhm...
You have been changed.
When I followed you from the village,
I've said,
That whatever is your saying I will believe you
You swear to destroy the Qin, to give the peace to the peoples
You don't forget that pledge, don't you?
If you're trully forget,
then kill me!
My lord, please don't underestimate yourself.
You are what the peoples have been dreaming
If only yourlord would see the peoples to suffer under the authority of Xiang Yu?
Would you stay idle?
We've been following you many years
We don't want any power or wealth, nor a fame
If all brothers know my lord don't intend to conquer the realm
Our military power will be demoralized
Isn't it our effort in all these years would be wasted?
All my brothers,
I was wrong.
I promise you
I will not ignore the lesser affair, while accentuate the larger,
While we subjugate Xianyang.
Give peace to the peoples
- Good my lord! - That way is right!
Yu Ji!
could you ride a horse?
Ride a horse?
Why we suddenly have change the routes?
This route is more save
Did you ever thik why..
Xiang Yu want to send you back to your homeland?
He said that he want to ensure my safety
I'm thinking,
That I'll never let the person that I love to leave my side
Because I believe,
That none could take care her more carefull than I myself
To believe in others is a happiness,
but the heart of others is difficult to perceive.
In the end everything will go awry.
Yu Ji
Please don't hurt her
-Liu Bang -You can take anything.
There are few fine horses out there,
take them
We're to avenge the Qin army lossess
- My zither - Don't chase them

At this time... 90% of the realm has been conquered by Xiang Yu
and what is left is this city of Xianyang.

Master
I'm Xiau He, would you please mention your name?
Brother Xiau, nice to meet you
My name is Zhang Liang
I'm...
Master Zhang is a famous hero.
Liu Bang is fortunate to have your assistance
Liu Bang is very grateful
When is that I tell you that I want to help you?
That's right! That's right! It was Xiau He that arrange this carelessly.
don't have any manners
I representing my master are apologizing
If you want my assistance,
First, I want to know what is in general Liu's mind?
I've always dreaming of...
save the country and to help peoples.
General Liu, Do you regard me as a 3 year old child that can be fooled?
Your presence in Xianyang here,
is not for saving the country and helping peoples,
but merely to endanger them.
to conquer Xianyang to become the duke of Qin
It is the intention of prince Huai in order to sow a discord ..
between general Liu and Xiang Yu..
and taking benefit from this situation
General Liu,
You have drag the peoples of Xianyang into a great calamity.
Is Xiang Yu,
dare to disobey prince order?
Prince Huai is merely an overthrown king
Are not all regional warlords listen to prince Huai?
Are there regional warlords like general Liu..
who dare to offend Xiang Yu?
Fan Kuai will close all the gates of the fortress,
I do not believe that I can not win against Xiang Yu.
General Liu against the 400 thousand troops of Liu Xiang Yu..
is like an egg against a rock
Liu Bang was determined only ..
to uphold the justice
help peoples from suffering
I beg you sir to think of the fate of the peoples, please taught me to escape from this danger!
Indeed I've a plan to adress this problem
I just do not know if the General are willing to do it
As long as I could save the peoples, even if Liu Bang are death, I will obey
Leave this city immediately!
With both of your hands you'll surrender Xianyang back to Xiang Yu
If Xiang Yu anger subsided, then the people's lives can be saved
- You're Xiang Yu's spy! - Hold it!
Thank you my lord!
All my brothers
Do you think..
Mr. Zhang's words are wrong?
Whoever can prove him wrong
I will kill him.
But now, have we not had a way to save Xianyang?
Xiau He,
tomorrow Fan Kuai
you brought back the seal of the emperor to the king of Xiang.
I'll immediately leave this place.
My lord please consider again
those who defied will be killed on the spot!
Indeed, General Liu's great name is not offhand
indeed turned out to be holy
have a broad mind
I just did intentionally test you.
Thinking about the fate of the people
I endlessly respect you
Aren't you are Xiang Yu's man?
Xiang Yu only know violence
If I'm helping him,
The people would only get suffering
But about Xiang Yu that besiege Xiangyang...
how we are going to solve that?
First, remove all treasure from the warehouse,
Share all of them and inform to all the citizen ..
that you are only occupied Xianyang temporarily
let the citizen know that great army of Xiang Yu
will soon invade and seize the city of Xianyang.
Alas, the great army of Xiang Yu would stormed and seized the city of Xianyang
What does he mean taking the city?
that is killing the entire population of the city
- Huh? How is this? - How is this?
Protect the city of Xianyang, quickly!
...and then set the citizen with the soldiers
in working together to protect the fort of Xianyang!
Citizen?
this is only a war strategy
Xiang Yu against..
this kind of war strategy,
If he see the people protecting the city
he would not have dare to invade the city
I have a friend from the same village beside Xiang Yu.
He will soon provide information
I have six of highly skilled students
I'm...
very happy to meet my lord!
Stop!
Foster father
Yu-er
I've checked it
Liu Bang, in order to prevent us to storm the city
He gathered all the citizen of Xianyang to protect the fortress
If we invade the city
He'll be a hero, defender of the peoples
and gaining public sympathy.
If we do not invade,
He will continue to occupy Xianyang
in calmly manner.
This is a very cruel tactics
The person behind it is definitely ...
none other than Zhang Liang.
Liu Bang promises 3 things to the citizen of Xianyang .
One of them is to distribute the treasures of the Qin Dynasty to the people.
He gave up all of that,
there is only one reason.
unless he has another purpose...
Liu Bang wants to be an emperor.
Yu-er,
You have been grown up.
Liu Bang said he was only temporarily occupied Xianyang,
We will use the tactics against his tactics.
Invited him to a meeting from Xianyang.
On one hand demanding him to return the seal of the emperor
at the same time to kill him
It's called one shots to kill two birds at once!
If we kill Liu Bang,
how we explain it to prince Huai?
why I haven't thought that?
Tell you what,
we'll sent an assassins to kill the prince Huai,
then we can blame Liu Bang
Just say that he want to be an emperor
then we have reason to intervene
to avenge prince Huai.
Openly and smoothly.
Still said that haven't thought by you?
I just thought that
Fried fish in Xianyang city is very tasty
While I can still walk
should eat more
That's just a gift from heaven.
An assassin!
Protect the lord!
Xiahou Ying!
Drinking wine!
Fan Kuai?
Xiahou Ying?
I'm not excited to fight you
Stop!
Which one is Zhang Liang?
Fan Zeng secretly deploying troops
3 days later
Everyone in Xianyang certainly will not escape
While Xiang Yu..
will invite general Liu to a meeting.
In the secret location
to make sure you do not have preparation
Have intention to kill in the heart, will make people feel hate.
On the day that Xiang Yu arrived in Xianyang,
With Mr. Zhang subordinate
personally will come to Shen Gang to meet with Mr. Zhang.
Meeting place for both sides
only until then surely will be known.
I got news that prince Huai was preparing for the celebration of the defeat of the Qin
while Fan Zeng has sent someones to kill him
The sin of regicide,
of course will be blamed to General Liu.
If they want to kill prince Huai,
then we also set up the rescue for prince Huai
beside as gifts made for ​​this coronation,
also to secure our way out
General Han Xin,
as you has already know the plot to assassinate prince Huai,
then we plead with General Han Xin
to protect our Lord the prince Huai.
I'm actually following Xiang Yu
but he did not act like a hero.
This time I stepped in to help,
until then...
I hope to get rewarded.
We agree
What is the proof?
How dare you!
Today witnessed by all people,
is decided that..
the news about Xiang - Liu gathering,
and whatever the outcome of this meeting,
is only known by 3 peoples.
First is my military advisor Zhang Liang.
Second,is Xiang Yu.
an the third,
is you general Han Xin
If I let you down.
It's just the same thing as disappointing my fellow brother in arm
and as a general
its same as disappointing the whole world.
General Han!
You see, what else I need to do ..
as a guarantee for you?
Father, look at my troops,
how can they not able to control the city ?
Yu-er
I often teach you,
you should see the problem more broadly
What you want to conquer is not only Xianyang,
But also the heart of people
The thing that you must defeat,
is not only Liu Bang,
But also yourself.
Foster father
You have been watched me grow since my younger days
no matter what my difficulties are
You were always there to help me.
But with the foster father at my side,
what else should I worry?
It seemed that I was spoiling you too much
Maybe,
I have to retire immediately
only then you can really ever grow up
What for General Liu's looking for me?
Report madam, General did not say anything.
How unfortunate!
What unfortunate?
This zither though expensive,
but rather makes me miss my old zither
Yes!
My zither
How could you find it?
Thank you
I've heard that the king Xiang will soon come to Xianyang?
I have promised to meet Xiang Yu.
You know the risks of this meeting?
Thank you brother Xiang Bo for coming to help!
We come from the same village,
You don't have to thanking me
I'm merely hoping...
that after overthrowing Qin
both sides can work together
to build this country
give the people a quiet life
Brother Xiang Bo..
Have you already know where the location of the meeting tomorrow?
In the Hong Men Yan
Hong Men hall
My lord, you can leave this mission to us
Yes sir
Time and place have been determined,
Please my lord go back first to help General Liu
Alas!
Reporting military advisor,
Our main banner suddenly fell.
A bad omen
The fate of humans has been arranged by heaven
There will be a problem
Tonight,
There will be an assassin.
To get a bad omen
This killer target is me
Fan Zeng cleverness is three times more superior than me.
If we can kill Fan Zeng,
we'll be winning without battle.
This is the strategy,
loosen the guard tonight,
I really want to contest the strategy with Zhang Liang,
Behold my order,
loosen the guard tonight,
do not startle the enemy.
I want to,
punish him at the meeting later.
I just prepare some noodles
My lord and the others have not eat anything all night.
However, one's needs to eat a little.
My lord, your messenger have gone for so long why is he still not back?
I'm not feeling so well
The problem with Han Xin rescuing prince Huai..
nor is there any information.
What We have to do?
For the sake of big business,
in this meeting my lord
must endure humiliation.
Xiang Yu has been advantaged
will surely be remiss because of victory
We must use this opportunity
To lure Xiang Yu until the final stage of the game.
Reporting!
King Xiang has issued an order,
Ordering My lord to join the meeting immediately.
All of my lord troops
Can not leave the city.
I'll immediately execute the command.
Xiau He,
This problem is very risky
If you went into trouble,
You'll use my command placard.
Appointed yourself as a king,
build yyour success.
My lord!!
Please receive my respectful prostration three times.
my lord,
your famous reach the heaven.
Xiau He,
until my death, I will protect Xianyang.
The head could be cut off, blood may flow,
even though dead would not give up!
EVEN THOUGH DEAD WILL NOT GIVE UP!
Xiau He,
Thank you!
They were sent by Xiang Yu.
Liu Bang send me to save your majesty.
So who are you?

Those who comes please stop here.
Every guests who are invited to Hong Men Yan

Took the city of Xianyang and crowned as the duke of Qin
is the order from prince Huai.
I've been fighting for so long,
who does not want to occupy the conquered land?
providing peace for themselves.
If king Xiang don't agree,
I will return those lands.
With both of my hands.
Where is the seal of the Qin emperor?
Where is Yu Ji?
He is a woman that is loved by king Xiang
Liu Bang did not dare to have any intention.
It's only that Liu Bang worry so much so I'm protecting her with care
Liu Bang,
I'll ask you,
The realm now belongs to whom?
The realm belong to king of Xiang.

To move forward there must be considerations,
In retreating there is precaution.
You and I are both Chinese people.
At the present we've the opportunity to meet, I hope to exchange ideas with Mr. Zhang.
Qin defeated the Chu, severing the 26 generation of ruler.

You're well versed in strategy

At the time needed,

At the crucial moment,

just like a game of chess
Today at the meeting in Hong Men Yan
the two sides are to be reconciled
I beseech the elder

I really hope to compete with the elder for one round.
To see if the laws of heaven are eternal
or not.

Zhang Liang,
I ask you once more,

Step four of three
Fourth board my turn
Flat step four-four
Who want to fight in this world ?
The local warlords did not submit to me..
I have to use a military power to defeat local warlords
Not satisfied,
I'll beat you until you feel satisfied.
Fifth board is still my turn
Flat step of four-four
Fan Zeng is unpredictable
Zhang Liang chess move have a murderous intention
I used four different chess strategies,
He will know it soon.
But, what I still don't understand
What steps he would run at the fifth board
But still waiting the result from Han Xin
if it is readable
can certainly be solved
fifth board my turn
step six to five
Zhang Liang, he is buying time
Second board
I've won the first round
The use of military power should..
as fast as a wind,
strong like a fire.
I'll win the second round
Xiang Zhuang,
give us a little show in this Hong Men Yan
perform a sword dance
to provide a little excitement
dancing alone is not interesting, come on let's go
I accompany you to dance.
Xiang Zhuang
Your sword play has improved
give a way!
Zhang Liang, third round you've lost again
The fourth board, I'll push you until there is no way out
Kill!
My lord
Yu-er, kill Liu Bang immediately!
My lord, be careful!
I've said once
in the battlefield there are only victory or lost
Today, God has arrange us to meet,
it has been destined that only one will live
Liu Bang,
Don't you blame me.
My lord!
Stop!
Command placard of prince Huai
Prince Huai ordering Liu Bang to withdraw.
Liu Bang has been ordered to get out of Xianyang
Get back to Hanzhong!
Prince Huai has invited the local warlords to meet in Xianyang
He wants to appoint king Xiang personally
as the ruler of Xianyang.
Foster father
Zhang Liang ordered an assassin to kill my military advisor,
I want you to kill him!
Therefore we will not have any debt
I'll release you to go.
- I can't do that. - Today I've won and you lost
- Xiang Zhuang - Yes
My lord,
Please don't!
Act!
My lord,
Your step today...
is the most wrong step in chess .
Liu Bang,
you are truly a wolve in sheep's clothing.
My lord,
now there is no more military advisor.
What's we suppose to do?
Military advisor have said once, that we must defeat Xiang Yu
The next step is a very important step in chess game.
We.. Aren't we've lost to Xiang Yu?
This chess game..
is not finish yet.
Hong Men Yan
are now officially began.
You must know,
Liu Bang holds you in his side
just to make you a negotiating tool in Hong Men Yan.
I will always choose
to trust other people.
As the first time we've met
You said that you like me
Liu Bang, though he's a traitor
but he has helping me to find my zither's back
At that time I think that,
I was able to play the song again for you.
If you believe.
Elder
Yu-er,
Mr. Zhang have only recently recovered
to told him to attend this meeting
do you think it's proper?
If you not free,
you'll have to excuse me.
Wait!
Mr. Zhang,
have already surrendered to join me, Xiang Yu
Please master..
give me an instruction.
I think,
The realm is now at peace
King Xiang is heading for success
your own honur
has to be pursued by yourself
King Xiang should use this opportunity to make yourself emperor,
more appropriately.
The realm have just at peace,
I think that if I'vr become the emperor without a good reason,
The local warlords would not accept.
The problem of becoming an emperor,
I think i've wait for another opportunity.
local warlords that don't satisfied,
is Xiang Yu can not mobilized forces to suppress them?
Liu Bang have just only conquered Hanzhong
Wild heart and unsatisfied
If when we mobilize the troops,
he suddenly attack
The reinforcement will not have time to arrive
Surely our troops will be defeated at that time.
According to the opinion of King Xiang
we could broken down the forces and exterminate them all at once.
Mr. Zhang,
is an intelligent and knowledgeable person.
I would ask you,
Who can,
control the world with only one hand?
Mr. Zhang,
Why do you recommend a useless tactic like this?
I've one strategy,
Now Liu Bang got promoted thanks to the King Xiang,
King Xiang could order him to mobilized troops
to eradicate local warlords.
To lend the hand of regional warlords,
kill Liu Bang first
then to rule the whole of China.
I would ask the elder
Is this tactic useful
or useless?
Respect for the prime minister.
This time king Xiang wants us to mobilize the troops
did we not dare to disobey?
Xiau He,
This time I comes here
it was not so easy.
We would like to invite you to have fun in Hanzhong
let us be able to serve you well.
Allright.
Prepare the banquet!
Yes sir!
This is a banquet that's sent by King Xiang.
you have to serve well, are you clear?
Yes general!
Serve the vegetables!
Fan Kuai!
Who?
Who told you to prepare the banquet here?
King Xiang is the one who sent it
Of course, the banquet should be prepared
Suppose that..
it is military advisor Fan Zeng's who sent it certainly there is no problem.
He has saves my lord a few times.
his kindness are as high as the mountain
While this merely send by Xiang Yu
Why would you bother?
Quick take-out these foods.
Okay!
To solve this problem,
don't be careless.
Tuan Zhang,
what is your opinion?
We could...
using a tactic to test Fan Zeng.
To avoid falsely accusing a good person
Foster father,
According to the inteligence report,
Liu Bang in Hanzhong continued to increase his military strength
in my opinion
what if we first punish this person?
avoid problems later on.
Liu Bang had been a favorite of prince Huai.
If you want to kill Liu Bang,
must think of an excuse first.
Prince Huai will die sooner or later.
it's better,
to kill him first.
- Kill prince Huai? - While in Hong Yan Men did you also told me to have prince Huai killed?
Yu-er,
All that present initially,
there must be the end, eventually.
military advisor,
you can retire now, please.
If everything remains as before. Just like the old times.
This step of your,
is the most wrong move in the chess game.
King Xiang has invite you.
Come in please.
King Xiang.
My lord, towards this servant,
your attention during all of this time..
has been very valuable.
I'm very honoured.
I'm, who are the servant,
could not hope for more.
My lord today willing to meet your servant,
have shown how great the respect my Lord have towards this servant.
Viewing our good relationship so far,
I, Fan Zeng
have already feeling very satisfied.
World without a word "no separation"
Until this separation,
I have not been able to return my lord's favor.
Can only give a small keepsake.
if one day you get into trouble
or
remember of this old man.
Open and look.
Foster father,
Elder.
Zhang Liang,
You've come.
I've already knew you'd come looking for me.
If you still do not come,
I could no longer wait you again.
Elder, I ask forgiveness for this sin.
this chess game,
I've played it too seriously.
Zhang Liang! Zhang Liang!
This chess game of yours
is very skilfully played.
When we were at Hong Men Yan
in your soul
I've sense a very special character.
Now I'll tell you,
I saw you as myself when I was younger.
Don't you sad because of me.
All my life,
I just waiting for one ...
opponent like you.
The relationship between us...
is like the twoside of a mirror
If Xiang Yu exist,
so it is ada Liu Bang.
If Fan Zeng exist,
so it is Zhang Liang.
Never mind!
Don't waste any time,
quick, help me stand.
we'll play the last round.
Elder!
Zhang Liang,
there is a chess strategy ...
....!
Zhang Liang, as the citizen of Han..
are hereby declaring to desert from King Xiang.
As a general,
does not have always to use military might rather than tactics,
in using a person we should be loyal.
Seeing the fate of military advisor Fan Zeng,
has faithfully served for three generations.
But in the end have ended tragically.
After losing just feel sad.
I personally also feel sad.
A wise bird have to choose a good branch.
I'm return to serving Liu Bang.
I'm hope that King Xiang will cautious in using military force.
Don't exceed your own abilities ..
to hope of becoming en emperor.
Prepare the troops!
mobilize the troops immediately.
Yes king Xiang!
King Xiang!
Liu Bang is now in Hanzhong have continue to strengthen his military power.
Moreover, there is Zhang Liang.
As long as we don't act rashly,
-He can not mess with us. -Xiong Ba!
I know you have a good intention.
You want me to let go Liu Bang today
But would Liu Bang will release me?
While in Hong Yan Men I've said.
This is part of the heaven's destiny.
I with him,
There is only one man that can still be alive.
If the prince Huai still rejecting,
What we should do?
General Han.
My lord,
Xiang Yu have killed prince Huai.
Now he has crossed the line.
The regional warlords,
want to come help me kill this traitor.
My lord military force ..
There are how many troops?
Not nearly 100 thousand.
So what if we left them to the local warlords?
What about yourself general?
I, Han Xin had my own troops,
but not enough.
When the time comes,
I want to get what I've deserve.
It seems that I've underestimated Liu Bang.
I know nothing can prevent you to go to the battle.
But I want to accompany you finish this war.
Move!
Attack!
Don't chase them!
The troops of regional warlords have arrived!
King Xiang!
If we doesn't escape now, there will be no chance.
Dare to hinder us!
You can't go king Xiang!
What's that place in front of us?
That's Wu Cia.
through here
never mind Wu Zhang
King Xiang!
Madam!
This is the letter that given by Liu Bang to me.
Tomorrow afternoon he will make an assault with a full force.
He advised me,
not to sacrifice in vain
You have defected to Liu Bang?
In my heart just wants the world at peace, the two sides living peacefully.
Who told me this Xiang Bo did not have the ability.
Still doing this futile war is for what purpose?
Winning or losing is just in the mind.
The one that can persuade King Xiang ....
is you.
I am truly sorry.
I should go on like this holding your hand.
Spending more time with you.
You still can start again from scratch.
Yu Ji,
We are way up through here.
You see those lands around here?
we will soon be faced with Liu Bang force.
I've arranged Xiang Bo..
to get you to some safer place.
Where no one could find you
including me.
Aren't that you've promised me ..
to let me follows you forever.
I've think,
You should give yourself an opportunity again.
To choose once more.
Prepare to attack!
This music is to shake the hearts of Xiang Yu's army,
Hopefully we can win without fighting.
Avoid more deaths.
Where are you going to?
I want to go home!
You are doing like this..
you don't feel guilty to king Xiang?
Don't go!
Now is the time that King Xiang need us most.
Don't go!
I want to go home!
Go home?
Don't run you cowards!
Behead!
Stop!
You've followed me for many years ..
Although we are soldiers..
but there is still a sense of compassion and brotherhood.
Today I was lost.
You don't have any debt to me.
I am the one that indebted to you.
Hope you'll all remember ..
forever you guys are my brothers from Jiang Dong.
all of you take care of yourselves.
We...
parted here.
Foster father,
You've saw me grow up since childhood.
No matter what difficulties I've been facing,
You've always help me to handle it all.
Yu-er,
I've should retire immediately...
for you to grow up.
Anyone do not enter.
I'm here looking for you because ..
I dreamed about something.
I've dreamed about a pair of lovers with white hair sitting arm in arm.
I really envy them.
I walked over to see clearly.
I recognized them.
They are you and me.
I want to live with you until old age.
I'm afraid to involve you.
Just like when we first met ..
I'm also afraid to involve you.
Liu Bang came here alone.
Acting in accordance to circumstances,
After they finish talking,
We'll kill him.
Liu Bang!
Xiang Yu!
I've been always waiting...
I wanted to convey it myself to you.
You said the heaven have set the two of us ..
there is only one allowed to life.
That's right!
But the one that is alive is me.
Not you.
The whole realm and the people..
are returned to me.
Xiang Yu!
We was a friend previously,
today you admitted defeat from your mouth itself.
I'm Liu Bang
will release you back to Jiang Dong.
Kill!
Xiau Zhuang!
Xiang Zhuang!
king.......... Xiang!!
Please lend me your sword,
let him die in peace.
Only Yu Ji herself,
I lied to him.
Yu Ji!
We'll never separated again.
Are you willing to come with me?
I'm willing.
My lord,
We find this object in his corpse.
I've persuade Han Xin to seize the palace.
Please my lord,
at the same time..
when the large troops of Han Xin arrive
joined in to help us seize power.
After we succeeded
I'm also promise to Han Xin, Zhang Liang..
and few others..
together enjoying a luxurious life.
share this world together.
This old servant would sooner or later die.
Everything is going as planned.
I can only execute this chess game like this.
Congratulation general Han!
May you have more success!
Xiau He
There is a chess strategy,
Zhang Liang..
...is the one who should finish it!
Go!
General Fan.
Leave me alone!
when I went to war with the emperor..
where were you?
Hah?
Stop!
My lord, I...
I know what you're going to ask me.
They want to harm me.
If I don't kill them,
they would kill me.
I'm also had to.
My lord,
I.....
I'm only want to say,
We have not seen for some times.
After knowing the incident that happened,
I'm worrying you.
So I purposely came to see you.
As I left the village and go to battle with you,
I've said.
I don't care anything,
I'm still trusting you.
But I....
I....
am not an educated person.
You...
All of what you've today ..
are wrong!
I... I...
I don't understand.
I'm really don't understand.
I am now an emperor
My brother, whatever you want...
I'll give it to you.
Emperor!
give me back my brothers!
Can you give them back? Huh?
We all promise you ..
to help you achieve success.
Fan Kuai today...
has no more use.
You once told me after everything is completed,
together return home to enjoy the wine.
You still remember!!
my lord!
Fan Kuai..
will...
Fan Kuai!
...go first!
Master,
could you tell us..
who are you exactly?
I'm only someone who like playing chess.
Earlier there was a friend (Fan Zeng) that I respected highly.
Then I have played chess with other chess experts.
Then later I realized,
who really deserve to be my opponent
it is only him (Fan Zeng).
I do not want to see the document again.
I think you've died.
I just want to go back to see you ..
So I can't die yet.
Today I want to ask you something,
is this the end that you want?
In fact during these years,
every day my heart is in calamity.
Every word that they say to me,
are not to harm me.
Mereka membawakanku kepusingan.
I am always felt they were like no endless...
Your majesty!
After you past away,
Which prince is will replace you on the throne?
I suddenly remembered a word of Yu Ji.
Do you know how great a sacrifice for your actions?
I'm understood.
I could win in Hong Yan Men,
provided that I use every means
to guess
and defeat the opponent.
Those who defied, kill on the spot!
But the sacrifice is ...
loss of an ability ...
to trust other peoples.
At last, in their memorial tablets...
I'm really shamed and don't have a courage...
to write the names...
of everyones that died for me.
Zhang Liang!
I have none that I could trust.
Zhang Liang!
Could you help me to finish..
this chess game?
From the beginning the heaven ...
has already destined it.
We are better ...
grateful for what they are.
None can expect everything,
but to distinguish between black and white you should not be confused
Today I still have to help Yu Ji to do one thing.
- Yu Ji - King of Xiang
Thank you for listening to my story.
This day in Hong Men Yan,
Finally has ended beautifully.
This old man..
it has been also a time to go.
Master,
Where are you going to?
I want to find a chess master again,
playing chess as much as I like.
To see whether I can win or not?
Zhang Liang!
I ask you one more time,
Are me and you still have to ......
conflicting each other?
