Episode 41
Then your esteemed father is...
Yes, Prime Minister. My father is Cheqi General Gao Xun.
What? Cheqi General Gao Xun is your father?
That's right. He is my father. Do you know him?
It's not only know.
In those years, your esteemed father have supported me, he was outstanding. But it's a pity that he passed away early.
I haven't been able to payback.
Now, my old friend's son come to seek shelter with me.This is the Will of Heaven.
Wen Ding! In the future this old man will help to handle with your matter.
This old man absolutely will not treated you unfairly.
Thanks for your kindness Prime Minister.
You immediately set out on a journey to return to Changshan to get the army training ready. At anytime, wait and listen until I send you.
I follow your orders! Wen Ding will immediately leave.
Congratulation Lord Gao! The Prime Minister put you in an important position.
To be following after Lord Gao is also not lacking in bright.
In the future also not lacking to be under Lord Gao's support.
You want to beat the rising spirit to come, join the army training.
Absolutely don't disappoint Prime Minister great hopes.
I'll accept and take care of your orders.
Qing Yi.
- Did you go meet Prime Minister Cao?-Yes.
Everything smoothly. Prime Minister and I talk to each other very happily. He said someday, he will put me in an important position.
Finally you have your wishes fulfilled. Congratulation to you.
In the future, it's unavoidable for you going to follow after Cao army all over the place for expedition, right?
I've already order Geng Chun to join the army training.
At anytime to prepare for the Prime Minister to establish military work.
Gao Ze, I want to go along with the army.
- You want to come along with the army? - Yes.
Qing Yi, I know that you really care about me.
But to march on to go to war really isn't a relaxed matter.
I would rather you can stay at your home, wait for me to return triumphantly.
Don't misunderstand.
Now, I confirmed that Zhao Zi Long is already under Liu Bei.
A clash between Cao Cao and Liu Bei will be inevitable
If I go with Cao Cao's army, I will definitely meet Zi Long
But even if so,
I still can't agree on bringing you with me.
However, I can promise you
I will be sure to inform you immediately of any developments on the frontline
Alright, I will depend on you then.
Big brother, big brother, that Zhu Ge Liang is just a country bumpkin.
Is he worth you asking him in person?
I caught him to come here to meet.
Third brother.
Even though we three personally came here to ask him,
he is also certainly not willing to take a leading position. After all he is a very able person.
Other than sincerity, we only have sincerity left now.
This awful weather! I'm going to freeze to death!
Are you afraid of the cold?
If you are afraid of the cold, then you can just go back and wrap yourself in a warm blanket.
-It's still not too late. Big brother will go by himself. -Big brother, big brother!
Big brother, we brothers will follow you from cradle to the grave (willing to risk life).
Yun Chang is only concerned that big brother will trouble himself for nothing.
That's right, big brother.
I am also worried that you are going to trouble yourself for nothing.
Firmament is not lose to a resolute person.
The more
Today is the third time.
Even if takes thirty times, three hundred times, we still have to ask him.
-Let's go. -Zhu Ge Liang, get out!
- Zhu Ge Liang!-Third brother.
May I ask if Mr. Zhu Ge is at home?
It's you again?
That's right, it's still us.
May I ask if Mr. Zhu Ge is at home?
Yes, but he is taking an afternoon nap right now.
I will wake him up.
Wait, there's no need to hurry.
Since Mr. Zhu Ge is taking an afternoon nap, let him sleep some more.
We are not in a hurry anyway. It won't be too late
to call him after he wakes up.
Second brother, Zhu..Zhu Ge Liang is sleeping.
He will actually let big brother stand here?
Look at my temper, I really can't hold it in for much longer.
This Zhu Ge Liang is so arrogant.
Indeed is somewhat arrogant.
He is very arrogant.
I won't believe this.
I'll go behind his house to set off fire. I'll see if he rise to get up.
Third brother! Please don't be impulsive.
For the time being, we look at how is big brother behavior.
Who is to wake first from a dream
I don't need others to help me understand my life
Have a good sleep in my humble hut in this beautiful spring
Outside the window, the sun is setting low
Master, you have some guests
Who came?
It's Uncle Liu Huang. He's already waited for a long time.
Why didn't you tell me earlier? Hurry and let them in.
Yes.
Mr., this way please.
Second brother.
Mister, please.
Alright.
You go on.
Yes.
I'm the last few remaining members of the royal Han family, not a particularly bright man
Liu Bei, honorific name is Xuan De
I've long heard your name, it's so famous that it sounds like thunder to my ear
You flatter me, I am not as good as you say
Please have a seat. I hope you forgive this humble lodging
Mr., please.
Mr., I came twice to visit you before,
but it was a pity I didn't get to meet you then.
That's why I left a letter. I don't know if you-
I've already read the letter General left.
I admire your convictions to save the people form suffering
But I'm just a youngster with no accomplishments
I still have lots to learn and lots to see
I'm afraid that I won't be of much help
You humble yourself too much
Are you saying that Shui Jing's recommendations are an exaggeration?
I hope that you can open up to me
and give me some guidance
All I know is to plant vegetables and harvest them
How dare I comment about the way of the ruler?
No, no
You are an extraordinary talent. It's such as waste if you keep yourself in this forest
I hope that you will help me
for the sake of the people in this world
General, there's no need for all these courtesy
If that's so, I'd like to hear about your ambitions
The Han Dynasty is at risk, the villains are taking the chance to carve up the country for themselves
I'm determined to bring peace and prosperity to the land
All I have are these strong believes
But I've been defeated time and again
Please show me the path to victory
Since Dong Zhuo came to power, great unrest was set upon this land
Cao Cao's strengths were far from Yuan Shao's
but he was able to defeat Yuan Shao
He didn't do it because of luck, but because of strategy
Now that Cao Cao has millions following him
commanding the court in the name of the emperor. It's really difficult to match him.
How about I go south?
No. Sun Quan has been ruling River East for many years
This subjects and the people are all loyal to him
Furthermore, the Yangtze river is a natural barrier, posing great difficulties for many troops attacking
General, you should befriend him instead of antagonising him
Does this mean that there's no place for me?
- Jingzhou. - Jingzhou?
Jingzhou is a key access path to many areas
it has long been an area contested by many
There's no way that Liu Biao and his son can guard that place for long
General, this is a gift from the gods
Also, Yizhou is located in very dangerous terrain, sprawling far and wide
It has been known as Heavenly County since time immemorial
Emperor Gao Zu was able to conquer the world because he had Yizhou
General, if you can take Jingzhou and Yizhou
You can wait for your chances while focusing on good governance and establishing a friendly relationship with Sun Quan.
Command a General to take the city of Luo Yang
while you command an army from Yizhou
to the Midlands through the Qing Mountains
If you can do this, then you can become a true hero
and restore the glories of the Han Dynasty
General, look here
This is the map of the fifty four counties of Xichuan
Cao Cao has the fortunes with him in the north
while Sun Quan has the geographic advantage in the south
If you want to make it big, you need to gain the hearts and minds of the people
The people?
General, if you can base yourself in Jingzhou
and expand your forces throughout Xichuan
There will be a tripartite power balance, and that is your chance at uniting the Midlands
This is the strategy I have for you
Your words have really enlightened me
like seeing sunshine in a gloomy day
However, Liu Biao from Jingzhou and Liu Zhang from Yizhou share the same surname as I do (come form the same ancestor)
I would feel guilty to take what they have accomplished from them
Liu Biao is old and sickly, he might soon pass away
while Liu Zhang is a cowardly man. He will lose the city sooner or later
If you don't take it, someone else will
You're right. Thank you for your guidance
I beg you
to join me in my cause
No, no. What I did just now was in response to your doubts
those were just some of my ideas
I'm used to this quiet country life
Please forgive me for not taking up your offer
If you don't come forward, how long will it take before we can bring peace to the land
and make the people prosperous?
I earnestly request you to join me
Sir, you know the world so well and have brilliant strategies
even though you've never been out of this mountiain
I, Liu Bei, beg you!
If you would not oblige
I would kneel here till the end of time
General, please rise
No, sir
General, you really think too highly of me
I hope I would be of use to you and devote myself to your cause
Sir
Sir, I cannot thank you enough
Miss!
Shi Yan, what did you find out?
Your predictions are right. General Gao and Geng have left the city to join Cao Cao
Are they preparing to attack Liu Bei? Where will they fight?
You wouldn't want to go on the battlefield, would you?
Why aren't you telling me when I ask you?
I... I'm not sure.
Shi Yan, what are you doing right now?
You definitely know.
We've been together since we were young.
Whenever you lie, you aren't able to speak clearly.
Hurry and tell me. In what direction did they go?
I can tell you, but have you have to promise me that you absolutely won't go to the battlefield! That's too dangerous!
When I tell you to say it then just say it! Why are you so pesky?
I heard that Liu Bei is camping at Xinye city in Jingzhou
Miss! You can't go.
-Let go!- I beg you, you can't go!-Let go!
-Miss!-Miss!
There's a Mr. Suan Ming outside wanting to meet you. He said you two made an appointment.
What nonsense are you saying? When did I ever make an appointment with Mr. Suan Ming? Make him leave.
In days yonder the bamboo spear was carved at the bottom of the valeey
Now the combat armour was gifted in presence of the emperor
Graces and grievances weave into a complex web
Love and hate are obscured like flowers in the fog
Wait. Who are you?
I am Pang Tong, honorific name is Shi Yuan
I especially came to clear up the confusing situation for you.
Leave first.
Yes.
Master Pang, the poem you were reciting just now
is obviously referring to Zi Long and I
What kind of relationship do you have with Zhao Zi Long?
We are just friends.
Did he send you here?
No, no, no. I came here on my own without any invitation
because I like being meddlesome.
General Zi Long came to Xi Feng mountain
after he left this place
Even though I have not known Zi Long for long
We have forged a deep friendship and talk about almost everything
General Zhao also told me many things about you two.
Miss, Zhao Zi Long has deep feelings for you
If that's true, then why did he leave without saying a word
nor did he write to me
If he treasured me, then why would he kill my father?
That's right. I have only heard about your father's death
You only heard?
Are you saying that you have seen Zi Long betraying your father with your own eyes?
Are you sure that what you heard are not mere rumours?
This is just like how back in the days, Zi Long was set up
and framed as a spy sent by Gong Sun Zan
Did you have any solid proof
besides only hearing about it?
That's why, Miss. Even though things are told like that, there's only one truth.
You might not know the truth for the time being. But uncovering the one who lied
is very easy.
What do you mean?
What I mean is the truth lies precisely in this residence.
Be thorough with it
Don't leave a stone unturned
Be careful and don't leave anything out
There's nothing here
- I've found it, I've found it! - You've found it?
Miss, look!
Miss, you should know this jade ornament, right?
This is the jade ornament that Gao Ze wears. But from what I know
this jade ornament was sold to a pawnshop when the city walls began construction
Why did it land in the garden?
You wouldn't have remembered it incorrectly, would you?
I've known Gao Ze since I was young.
This jade ornament was handed down by the Gao family.
it exists in a pair with another one
There are characters carved on it. There's no mistaking it
That's it. This proves that Zi Long is telling the truth.
What did he say?
Miss, do you remember, on his way to Changshan from Youzhou
he was ambushed by Du Jue
I was also there at that time, of course I remember.
This jade ornament was confiscated from Du Jue
Zi Long was doubtful at first that Gao Ze would hire someone to kill him
Gao Ze got angry that he became the target of suspicion
Miss, as the saying goes: it's easy to draw the appearance of something, but not its essence
It's easy to know the appearance of someone, but not their real intentions
If that's true, then why didn't Zi Long tell me about it?
Soon after the incident of the jade ornament occured
Zi Long was framed to be a spy
Your father commanded Zi Long to be seized. Out of desperation,
Zi Long escaped the forces that were going after him
I'd like to ask you, did Zi Long have the opportunity to tell you the whole truth?
Qing Yi, stay inside the room.
Looks like you have a reason to stop me.
Tell me. Why would my dad suddenly give an order to arrest Zi Long?
Zhao Zi Long is Gong Sun Zan's spy
We've already intercepted his communications to Youzhou
This can't be. Zi Long wouldn't do that.
I would also like to believe that Zi Long is not that kind of person.
Qing Yi, listen to me. When I have catched Zi Long
and he has an opportunity to explain himself, I will definitely do my best to help him prove his innocence!
No! I have to make this clear myself.
With me here, no one is allowed to touch Zi Long!
What you said is right.
At that time Gao Ze stopped me with all his might, from beginning to end he didn't let me search for Zi Long.
He didn't let you meet Zi Long because he was afraid, Zi Long would expose his true face in front of you.
But even if there is a conflict between Zi Long and Gao Ze,
he still shouldn't have killed my father.
Still the same words: "heard of".
You didn't witness Zi Long killing your father with your own eyes.
You've only heard of it.
Could it be that Gao Ze lied to me then?
It's not the first time that Gao Ze lied.
Last time he was able to frame Zi Long of being a spy.
Then this time he can also fabricate the story that Zi Long was the enemy who killed your father.
Then tell me, who exactly was the murderer who killed my father?
Miss, you're wrong about it
If my words mean nothing to you
If you believe Gao Ze's words, then that makes me the person who lied.
Don't you think so?
If you want to feel the wind, there's no need to roll up the curtain and open the window
The dark clouds will eventually float away to reveal the sun
The green mountains remain even if they're covered by the mist
I've packed everything
Is there anything else we have to bring?
Shi Yan, I have enough money. These are for you
Why?
It is a far way from here to Jingzhou
The journey is not safe. I won't be able to take care of you
Miss, don't leave me behind
I heard from the housekeeper a few days ago
that your parents have aged and need someone to look after them
I think it's best if you return to your home town
No, I won't go.
I've been following you since I was eight,
taking care of you. Wherever you go, I will go too.
Now, you let me go. I'm not going.
You listen to do what I told.
I listen..I listen to do what you told.
I will never condradict you in the future.
I will never talk back to you again.
I beg you. Don't let me go!
I'm not going.
Shi Yan, in these past years, you've already taken care of me well enough.
Really.
I've always regarded you as my own sister.
I treasure you. I don't want to leave you
But I cannot selfishly make you remain by my side.
I would restrain you, do you understand?
I don't understand. I'm not going. Don't make me go.
Shi Yan, how come you won't listen to what I told you?
Then, how about this? I promise you I won't drive you away.
But first you have to return home once.
Send my regards to your parents
You know that the Xia Hou family is generous
we will never treat the servants poorly
Really?
Since we were children, I've never lied to you even once.
This time I can assure you I will do what I promised. Don't worry.
but Miss, you're travelling such a long distance, I have to accompany you
After you've visited your parents,
maybe at that time, I will already be waiting for you at home.
If you won't keep these things,
then take care of them for me first.
Do you have enough money with you?
When you return to your hometown, remember to buy good food and necessities for your parents
and fulfill your filial duties
I will tell them that it's you who arranged all these
Hurry, go pack up
Miss, you didn't lie to me, did you?
I will be back latest in a month
Take care of yourself.
Same for you.
Big Brother, I heard that you've officially asked Kong Ming to be our military councillor
But he is so young
Maybe he only knows some theories but can't put them to practical use
Is he really up for the job?
That's right, even if he really is great like a dragon
there's no use if he can't utilise what he knows
Would he even be able to win a fight?
It's the job of you two to win fights
Kong Ming's strength lies in his mind
I feel like a fish in water with Kong Ming at my side
You will understand in the future
My Lord. Generals.
Liu Shen, aren't you with General Zhao defending Fancheng?
Why have you come to Xinye?
There's news from the watchmen. Xia Hou Dun is marching a hundred thousand troops to attack Fancheng
Cao Cao is following behind
My Lord, Cao Cao's army is too large. I'm afraid that we won't be able to defend Fancheng with so few soldiers
So General Zhao sent me to seek guidance from you
Looks like Cao Cao does not only want to take Fancheng
He's coming after Xinye, or even the entire Jingzhou
Good call, my Lord
Big Brother, didn't you just say that you're like fish in water with him at your side?
Why not send your "water"
to flood Cao Cao's army?
Third Brother, stop this nonsense.
Councillor, you came at the right time. Looks like Cao Cao's army is determined to wipe us out this time
What do you think we should do?
The first and most important thing is to command General Zhao to leave Fancheng
and move the citizens of Fancheng to Xinye
What? We haven't even fought
and you want to just give a city away? What are you plotting?
Fancheng is isolated. It's an easy target
If we keep on defending it, we'll be wasting our forces
Abandon Fancheng... but what's next?
My Lord, since you're asking for my strategies, are you going to give me command over the army?
Of course.
General Guan and Zhang don't seem to be convinced of my abilities
I wish to borrow your seal
If you agree to this
then please summon all the subjects and let them await for orders in the meeting hall
Alright
- Military counselor, please.-Your Highness, please.
No.
To be present to listen to all kinds of civil and military officials.
From now on, I will appear to listen to Military counselor order.
Yes!
My Lord, please forgive me for my transgression
Cao Cao's army is upon our borders. They have far more troops than we can handle
If we want to win this, I hope everyone here can be united as one
To prevent Cao Cao from advancing on Xinye
I have decided that the location for the battle would be at the mountain slope of Bo Wang
Guan Yun Zhang listen to the command!
Bring a thousand men and wait at the Jade Mountain to the left of the mountain slope
Let Cao Cao's army pass
but take notice of the provisions that follow the main army
Once you see fire in the south
Come out from hiding and burn all of his provisions
Zhang Yi De listen to the command!
Third brother, third brother.
Zhang Yi De listen to the command!
I'm in here, just said it.
Bring a thousand men and wait in the Peace Forest to the right of the mountain slope
Light the reeds on fire when you see Cao Cao's main army
then attack them head on
I know.
Zhao Zi Long listen to the command!
Here
Bring our main forces and attack Cao Cao's army head on once they've descended the mountain slope
but remember, you're not allowed to win this fight
Roger
What's this nonsense!
Only allowed to lose?
Hear, hear
Isn't this person mad?
Military commands are not to be questioned
Zhao Zi Long.
My Lord, you can bring a division as backup
I listen to your command.
I'll accept your orders.
As for the others, remain at the camp and await your orders
Yes!
Hold on
We're all out there fighting the enemy. What do you do, Councillor?
I'll be in the city defending it and preparing the rewards
for your victories
We're all putting our lives on the line
You only hide in the city. Aren't you enjoying this too much?
The seal is here. Whoever disobeys the military command will face execution!
Have you guys heard the saying
Brilliant strategies are formulated in the mind, victories and losses are decided in the far away battlefield
My brothers, you must obey the Councillor
- Where is this?- It's the mountain slope of Bo Wang that lies ahead
General, why are you laughing?
I often said it to someone in front of the Prime Minister, Zhu Ge Liang is regarded as celestial being.
This mountain slope is a key passage to Xinye
How can Liu Bei be so stupid as to not guard it?
Liu Bei has even abandoned Fancheng in fear of our army
The Prime Minister can really instil fear in our enemies
His power is unmatched
Go!
Zi Long! I can't understand.
Why can't we go all out?
Why do we have to pretend to lose?
Cao Cao has ten times as many soldiers as we do. There's no way we can defeat them in a head to head battle
Since the Councillor has given his commands, let's just follow it
I will ride forth by myself later
You stay behind with the troops and cheer me on
Alright, I know.
Who's blocking my way?
I'm Zhao Zi Long from Changshan!
I've never heard of you
I'll make you a ghost under my spear.
-Go!-Go!
Mang Xia Hou! So actually is you that have an undeserved reputation.
Kill!
Go!
Charge!
Giddy up!
I'm in here!
Little brat, I'm going to kill you!
Go!
Go! Go!
Go!
General be careful! I'm afraid that there is an ambush in front.
He deliberately lead us to go over.
What's to be afraid of? Even if we're surrounded in ambush
I'd be able to handle it with ease
Go!
Charge!
General Guan, they're coming.
Start work.
Yes.
Zhu Ge Liang, you believe in your strategy so much huh? I don't think so
I'd love to see your strategy fail
Put the fire.
Be careful! Fire! Fire!
We're surrounded! We're surrounded! Put out the fire!
Soldiers! Follow me and attack!
Keep your formations!
Quick, extinguish the fire!
On fire!
Extinguish the fire! Quick, extinguish the fire!
Save me!
Grandfather Zhang Fei is here!
General, general what to do?!
Can not give up your post! Order a full retreat!
General! Bad news! Guan Yu has intercepted our provisions and burnt all our supplies!
We stopped to order a retreat!
All soldiers! Fight with your life!
I'll kill all who disobey!
