How stupid you are!
I knew you didn't offer LIU BEI his supply,
why did you withhold general SUN's?
Who do you think SUN JIAN (WEN TAI) is?
He is the forerunner general of the whole army.
Of course I know that.
I not only knew about his great achievement,
I also knew that
he never treat you with enough respect.
You knew about that?
Then why did you do such offensive thing to him?
Brother, just listen to me this time.
The Han dynasty has come to its end, it'll be gone soon.
Only foolish people really try to help Han.
Evil people like DONG ZHUO,
abolished Han rules and control the power.
What DONG ZHUO had done
is the thing that many powerful men wanted to do but didn't dare to.
You want me to be foolish or be evil?
Neither foolish nor evil.
You need to be wise.
Now although 18 bands of governors gathered,
the real motive of these governors,
is not necessarily to eradicate the evil for the country.
They just wanted that in case the country is divided,
they will obtain the biggest land.
The biggest threat is SUN JIAN, governor of CHANG SHA.
If SUN occupies LUO YANG city and kills DONG ZHUO,
is he gonna put the XI LIANG army
under his own control?
Is he gonna control the government and acquire power with the army?
Is he gonna replace DONG ZHUO and rule the country,
and become a much more terrible tyrant than DONG?
About that...
it's not totally impossible.
That's why, brother,
the most favorable strategy for us
is to eradicate DONG,
and at the same time,
cripple the force of the governors like SUN JIAN,
preferably that they all die with DONG.
Then,
the country will be under control by us Yuan family.
You think I don't know about that?
It's just that...
you just crossed the line.
Why is that?
You know, SUN JIAN is the forerunner general of our alliance.
If he fails,
tens of thousands of soldiers' force will collapse.
Then both of us will lose everything,
how do you plan for the future then?
Report!
Chief,
at midnight last night,
Ll JUE and GUO SI led 80,000 XI LIANG horsemen attacked SUN JIAN's camp.
SUN JIAN lost many men
they've retreated from the WHITE HORSE PASS.
Chief,
DONG ZHUO led 250,000 XI LIANG soldiers himself,
and left the capital city.
They declared war against the rebellion,
and they'll kill SUN JIAN within 5 days.
And within 10 days...
What?
...they'll cut off your head, chief.
Now you hear it all? We're rebellions now.
Winning the war, you're king. Losing the war, you'll be rebellion.
If DONG ZHUO wins,
all of your stratagems,
will be in vain.
I didn't know that SUN JIAN could lose the war so fast.
Your stupidity now brings my bigger handful of trouble.
I...
Without food supply, how could SUN win any 'war?
I anticipated the result of SUN JIAN (WEN TAl)'s loss.
General CAO, you're here.
Why do you say that?
Though SUN JIAN is an amazing warrior,
he's too eager to win, so he brought his army into the enemy alone.
He's too proud, which will definitely lead to failure.
Chief YUAN,
now what's your plan to deal with this disaster?
Inform every unit of our army
that SUN lost the battle and DONG is leading his army.
Then gather all the governors,
to discuss how to fight the enemy.
No.
You shouldn't think about telling the governors
that SUN JIAN lost [he battle.
In the contrary, you need to tell them
that SUN JIAN won in a landslide manner,
and DONG ZHUO lost badly.
Then everyone rushes to the front
and occupies TIGER TRAP PASS and the LUO YANG city.
Otherwise,
knowing SUN JIAN lost,
the governors will fear the enemy.
As long as they lose the morale, the army will lose.
Take my order,
Prepare celebration party for general SUN.
Generals,
SUN JIAN (WEN TAI) beat the enemy hard.
Our army's morale is strengthened,
let's celebrate for general SUN from the base camp.
Celebrate for General SUN.
The evil DONG will be defeated very soon.
In a few days,
we may celebrate in the capital city.
Chief YUAN,
I heard that DONG ZHUO led his army out of the Pass,
ls it true?
Yes.
Then should we still celebrating and drinking here?
As it's said in the book,
substitute inaction for motion,
substitute leisure for labor.
It's the winning method.
DONG ZHUO's army has exited the pass,
general SUN is there alone.
Don't you worry if he'll lose, chief YUAN?
YUAN SHU!
Why do you withhold our food supply?
And why did you abuse my soldier?
You're only a bowman,
how dare you!
So what?
To shameless guy like you,
I'm always this rude!
What're you gonna do?
All right.
Governors,
if you can bear
these three men acting so boldly here,
then I shall excuse myself to my hometown immediately.
Please calm down, YUAN SHU (GONG LU).
YUAN SHU (GONG LU), you're the deputy chief,
you're in charge of food supply of the 'whole army.
How could you leave like this?
If you leave, what do we eat?
- What do we eat? -Good question.
Please sit.
Then,
we'll leave instead.
LIU BEI (XUAN DE), please wait.
LIU BEI (XUAN DE), you're Han emperor descendant,
you're very important to this alliance,
how could you leave?
If you leave, we'll feel sad.
There's no need to be sad.
You should know
though it's a big world,
it's hard for all of you all standing in line.
LU BU (FENG XIAN),
can you see?
The camp in front of us,
that's the base camp of YUAN SHAO.
Godfather,
compared to my Red Hare horse, and my double-eared halberd,
the 18 bands of governors are nothing.
As I fight with them later,
I'll cut off YUAN SHAO's head
to repay your favor to me.
Great!
My son, you're the mightiest warrior in the world.
And YUAN SHAO's isn't as strong as we heard.
There's no need to worry about him.
I can let him live for another while.
But another person's head,
I want you to get it for me now.
Who is it?
The [hug CAO CAO!
I hate his guts!
I wanna cut his torso into one thousand pieces,
and grind his bones into ash,
then I can slightly reduce my fury to him.
Rest yourself, godfather,
I'll get CAO CAO's head for you.
Look at that!
That town gate,
it's tall and hard.
Our XI LIANG army is good at field battle,
is not familiar with stranglehold seizing.
If YUAN SHAO stay in there and won't fight us,
it'll be great trouble to us.
What's in your mind, godfather?
I'm thinking...
how about this?
Let the troops settle camp here.
You take 100 soldiers to provoke him,
try to induce him out of the town.
And we fight him in the field.
I don't need 100 soldiers.
I can handle it myself.
YUAN SHAO is such a snob!
Why is he made the chief?
Before leaving
I should slap him a few times!
Brother ZHANG, stop thinking about slapping people.
He's not worth you to be angry with.
To tell you the truth, brother GUAN
I don't wanna leave the army.
It's just they really can't bear having us here.
Brother LIU, what's the matter?
You're missing the title of general of the 19th army?
I won't miss this false title.
I worry for His Majesty in LUO YANG city.
The alliance army would've occupied LUO YANG city
to eradicate the evil and help Han dynasty.
Easy!
Let's rush into LUO YANG city ourselves.
Let's take DONG ZHUO's head.
Brother ZHANG, you're always so imprudent.
Brother LIU,
it's a good thing that we leave.
We three came here and leave together.
We don't have unnecessary attachment, and our goal is bigger.
Listen to me, YUAN SHAO, CAO CAO!
Don't you hide from me!
Just come out and fight with me!
Report!
Chief YUAN,
XI LIANG army has already arrived.
How many people do they have?
There only a LU BU in the front of the pass.
He came here alone,
and claimed that he'll take CAO CAO's head.
Thanks very much.
I'm now even more famous.
Generals,
LU BU's ready to fight all of us himself.
He doesn't think any of you would be a threat.
Do you think you can stand such humiliation?
My warrior known as "three sword LIU"
He'll kill LU BU within three rounds of sword fight.
Great!
My front general HAN YONG could fight LU BU.
Wail a minute, guys.
My mighty general WANG CHONG, from NORTH SEA,
He's been eager to kill LU BU,
and snatch LU's Red Hare horse to use as his own.
Great!
Chief!
General HAN, general LIU and general WANG,
they've already gone out of the city,
they're fighting LU BU right now.
Hows the result?
Within three rounds,
all three generals
all gal killed by LU BU.
Take my order,
close the door tightly.
Nobody shall go out and fight him.
Yes sir!
Listen to what I'm saying, you governors.
You all cowardice and won't show your face.
Just see howl teach you all a lesson!
What a bold man! What is he trying to do?
Governors inside...
What is he doing?
I believe you have 18 bands.
I'll offer you 18 arrows to you.
You're scared to fight me alone?
Then you should all get out
and fight me altogether.
I'm here by myself
and I'll cutoff all 18 heads of yours.
Chief YUAN,
the enemy is right outside
and DONG is here by himself.
We have to win this battle.
Though I'm a humble man,
I'd like to arrange military strategy for the army.
Please, CAO CAO (MENG DE).
Although LU BU is a great warrior,
he's only a soldier.
The reason why he's so arrogant,
is because the main force of LU BU is not far from here.
DONG is using LU BU as a bait,
to draw our army out of the town,
and fight his XI LIANG army in the field.
In my opinion,
we shouldn't go out
in three hours.
We should wait until noon,
when they all get tired
then we open the door and fight them.
He's right!
Yes, I agree.
But YUAN SHU promised us 10,000 kilograms of food supply,
I haven't seen any.
Without food,
you think my men and horses can fight with empty stomachs?
YUAN SHU (GONG LU),
where're the 3,000 soldiers and horses you promised me?
And our food supply,
when can we get any?
How much food supply and soldiers did he give you?
Why do you stick up for him all the time?
Does he own you?
General GONG SUN,
don't you bully us!
Since I came here to gather,
I didn't get a single soldier or horse!
HAN FU!
Why haven't you returned the three counties of DANG YANG of mine?
I'd like to ask you instead!
Why did your men destroy my towns,
and loot my soldiers and horses?
I'll ask you by myself!
Tell me!
Stop arguing, people!
Please listen to me!
Now I know why the world is in trouble.
Just as LIU BEI (XUAN DE) said,
the root of the troubled world is people lack of faith.
Al this very moment,
DONG ZHUO's army is right in front of the pass ready to fight us.
And you're here arguing with each other.
Of course the world is in trouble!
Stop your nonsense!
Quiet, generals!
Slop fighting!
Just stop!
Foolish crowd, mediocre fellows!
They won't achieve anything!
LIU BEI (XUAN DE).
Wait up!
Please wait up!
CAO CAO (MENG DE),
I'm leaving the town.
We're in a hurry, there's no time to say good bye personally,
I apologize here.
Why do you have to go?
Is it because you don't think YUAN SHAO fits as a chief,
or you're chasing wealth and high rank for your own sake?
It's not my place to discuss
if YUAN SHAO suits as chief.
But we brothers came here at the first place
is to kill the evil,
not to chase wealth and high rank.
I admire your comments.
I also have something I always wanted to tell you.
Please just let me know.
I'm always impressed
with the loyalty
and sincerity for the country of you brothers.
I'd like to invite you.
Would you like to stay at my camp temporarily
and we do something big together?
Thank you for your great thinking.
But 'we just left YUAN SHAO's camp,
and you want us to your camp,
Aren't you worried what people are gonna say?
And excuse my harsh words,
though I'm not some great hero,
I have my own principles that I won't change.
OK then.
But you can't leave town right now.
Why is that?
Because LU BU is asking us to fight him in front of the town.
So he's really here?
Great!
There's a saying I don't know if you've heard or not.
There're two treasures in the world
Red Hare horse for horse, and LU BU for human.
His weapon double-eared halberd,
he plays it so well that he's like a magician.
And his Red Hare horse,
can travel 1,000 miles a day,
as fast as lightening.
He doesn't respect any of the heroes in the world.
No matter how tough the geological situation is,
his Red Hare horse would overcome easily.
LU BU to DONG ZHUO is worth over 100,000 soldiers army.
Now to our biggest horror,
these two treasures are combined.
Al the moment,
LU BU, riding the Red Hare horse,
is provoking us to fight at the door.
But all the 18 bands of governors,
no one dares to fight him.
They all hide here like scared turtle wouldn't show their faces.
So,
I suggest you just rest for a little bit.
My brothers,
please have a rest.
I'll stab LU BU 1,000 times now!
Brother ZHANG,
LU BU is too mighty a warrior.
I'll go fight him.
Brother GUAN,
you've killed HUA XIONG the other day.
If you “wouldn't allow me to take credit this time,
I'll stop calling you my brother!
Brother ZHANG,
let's hear big brother's advice.
CAO CAO (MENG DE),
you see what your words
have done to my brother?
Please don't take me wrong, I meant well.
I'm suggesting you
avoid direct crash with the fierce LU BU.
Alright.
I also have some words,
please tell YUAN SHAO for me.
Please tell me.
The first day we came here
'we brought a great gift.
We killed HUA XIONG for the army.
Today, before we leave,
“we'll offer another great gift.
What is it?
To kill LU BU.
These words of yours, LIU BEI (XUAN DE),
should make all governors ashamed to death.
Brother ZHANG!
Brother!
G0 fight LU BU!
Brother GUAN and I will be your flank!
Yes!
YUAN SHAO, aren't your family so famous?
And the whole world knows your name?
Why you don't dare to fight me?
Why are you hiding in there like a cowardice?
So you 18 bands of governors are only scared little rats!
Don't be full of yourself, a bastard with three family names!
I'm ZHANG FEI (Yl DE), from the state Yan.
What did you call me?
A bastard with three family names!
I'm LU BU, a big hero.
Why do you call me a bastard with three family names?
Your family name is LU, isn't it?
Yes!
You were originally general DING YUAN'S adopted son.
DONG ZHUO gave you a Red Hare horse,
and you're his servant.
For just a horse,
you killed your adopted father DING YUAN.
Then DONG ZHUO became your godfather.
You are a bastard with three family names!
I'll kill you, bastard with three family names! Giddap!
Die! You bastard with three family names!
Great!
You really have some strength, bastard!
You bastard!
General LU.
You are a hero.
DONG ZHUO is a thief and thug.
Why do you serve him?
Why don't you serve the court,
and help Han dynasty to be prosperous again?
Now if we want to kill you
it'll be a piece of cake.
But hero like you is very rare.
We don't wanna kill you.
Listen to me,
and do the right thing!
Brother LIU,
stop waste time for him!
Bastard, my spear is coming!
Look out, brother LIU!
I wanna fight more.
Pity he's escaped.
He's really good.
LU BU is as good as a Red Hare horse as a horse.
What a waste!
He's serving the evil again!
Brother LIU,
don't feel sorry for him.
He is stubborn like rock.
Brothers!
We should chase him when he's running.
DONG'S army must be ambushing behind the mountain.
Don't chase him.
If DONG is there,
I should kill him!
I'm going!
Brother ZHANG, come back!
Come back!
Chief YUAN,
the enemy is losing,
it's an opportunity.
Please order to charge.
OK.
Take my order:
open the gate,
let's fight DONG ZHUO!
- Yes sir! -Let's go!
Charge! Charge! Charge!
Come on! Come on!
CAO REN.
Here.
Where are my soldiers?
All gathered.
They're waiting in the east.
Great!
Take them with me to the TIGER TRAP PASS,
and go for LUO YANG.
Yes!
I was informed last night that
YUAN SHAO led his alliance force,
and he's occupied TIGER TRAP PASS.
- He won a great battle. -Great!
XI LIANG army lost.
DONG ZHUO was thrown out of his horse by the brothers of LIU, GUAN and ZHANG.
Don't know if he's dead or alive.
Great!
Then it must mean he's already dead.
Heavens!
This is our good luck.
The world will get back to normal!
XI LIANG army lost the battle,
they're fleeing right now.
The royal army is close to the city,
they'll enter the capital city any time soon.
The Han dynasty is with hope.
I should take this message,
and let the Empress and His Majesty know.
You should gather some people
and prepare for the big event.
- OK. -Alright.
Mr. minister,
Prime minister is in the palace.
The Prime Minister...
...is in the palace?
Before dawn,
Prime Minister took his armored soldiers,
rushed into the palace.
500,000 soldiers army of YUAN SHAO
was defeated by mine
over half were casualties.
But there're some fled force
they might be attacking the capital city,
to abduct His Majesty.
So I have to act cautiously.
By the way,
I heard there's a popular children song,
"there's Han in the east, and Han in the west."
"move the capital city to CHANG'AN, then it'll be peaceful."
I think that is true!
The east capital city of LUO YANG, after 200 years,
it's coming to an end.
I observed the celestial body last night,
and I found signs of dynasty in CHANG'AN city.
So I decided that I should convoy His Majesty west,
and relocate the capital city in CHANG'AN.
So my fellow ministers,
please make some preparation.
We shall leave very soon.
Prime minister.
After Yellow Scarf rebel has arisen,
wars never end.
CHANG'AN was totally destroyed.
If we move to CHANG'AN and make capital there,
it would be abandoning a palace and live in the ruin.
It's very unreasonable!
Please reconsider, Mr. Prime Minister.
What do you know about strategy?
Relocate capital in CHANG'AN,
we could rejuvenate the Han dynasty.
It's a great plan that will last for 100 years.
LUO YANG is dark, and CHANG'AN is bright.
Moving to CHANG'AN is abandoning darkness towards the brightness.
Mr. Prime Minister,
the capital city of LUO YANG is like artery for the court.
If we abandon the royal temple and tomb,
the court will be in chaos and people will suffer.
For such country matter,
please contemplate about it carefully.
Contemplate carefully?
You think I'm not careful enough?
Near CHANG'AN, we have the famous Han Pass
and LONG Mountain as natural barrier.
Lumbers and bricks to build a new palace,
they're very easy to get.
Within half a month,
I can rebuild a royal mansion.
It'll be a better paradise than CHANG LE Palace here.
And by the way,
I'm naming it the "WAN LE Palace".
WAN LE Palace.
Mr. Prime Minister,
if you relocate the capital suddenly,
how do 'we get so many carriages and horses?
How to carry all the officials?
How do 'we settle the civilians?
I have battle horses and carts.
Officials could travel with them. So easy!
And those civilians in the city
their lives won't mean anything.
They live or die, who cares?
I can't think about so much.
Just suit themselves.
Since you have made up your mind about relocating the capital city,
then when shall we leave?
Check this out!
You asked the right question.
Listen up!
I emphasize about efficiency when I act.
The event will happen today.
'We will leave after noon.
Move west!
Mr. Prime Minister,
moving the capital city will throw the court into chaos.
Please don't, we beg you!
You must be the accomplice of YUAN SHAO.
How dare you try to mess with my plan!
I'll terminate you right now!
My fellow ministers,
if any of you get good advice,
just let me know right now.
I'm listening.
Just tell me.
Anyone?
We obey your order, Mr. Prime Minister.
Great!
- Man! -Mr. Prime Minister!
Prepare His Majesty for the journey.
Yes sir!
With Prime Minister's order,
the palace, the temple,
royal cemetery, royal pavilion,
all would be burnt up!
We leave nothing for the rebels.
DONG ZHUO relocated the capital city to the west city CHANG'AN.
LUO YANG, being Ham's capital city for hundreds of years
is now burnt down.
Rich people were plundered.
The royal temples and cemeteries were all digged up.
General CAO is visiting you, my lord.
Finally you're here!
SUN JIAN (WEN TAI).
CAO CAO (MENG DE).
I've been waiting for so long!
Where's YUAN SHAO?
Where's the army?
Where are the governors?
They...
they're drinking hundreds of miles away.
What?
DONG ZHUO abducted His Majesty and fled towards west.
LUO YANG city is in fire.
XI LIANG army is retreating!
Why wouldn't YUAN SHAO's chase him?
YUAN SHAO worries if DONG ZHUO arranged ambush army.
The other governors are looking on each other's performance.
Nobody would send army first.
For some food supply, soldiers and horses, land,
they're fighting.
Only I lead my 10,000 best horsemen
hurried here to aid you.
The chief is “wasting an opportunity.
SUN JIAN (WEN TAI),
you expected too much of YUAN SHAO.
This great opportunity
he didn't even see it,
so he's not wasting it.
What's your suggestion, CAO CAO (MENG DE)?
SUN JIAN (WEN TAI),
now there's a biggest reward,
is not at the face of both of us.
When we first gathered,
the governors agreed
whoever enters the capital city first,
then who'll be appointed as the first commander by His Majesty.
Now nobody is guarding LUO YANG,
DONG ZHUO is fleeing.
I suggest we separate into 2 squads.
One squad is made up of infantry and will enter LUO YANG.
The other squad comprises of infantry
chase DONG ZHUO immediately.
General SUN, which one would you choose?
My east army is mainly made up of footmen.
I only have less than 3,000 horsemen.
And my force is mainly horsemen.
General SUN,
would you let me
have your 3,000 soldiers?
I'll take them
to chase DONG ZHUO.
And you enter LUO YANG city.
You mean it?
Of course!
Then...
thank you for your great effort!
We're fighting for the same goal of killing the evil.
SUN JIAN (WEN TAI), let's mobilize immediately.
OK.
CHENG PU.
My lord.
Bring all the horsemen to CAO CAO.
Yes sir.
Take care!
