GUO JIA.
My lord.
How about XU ZHOU now?
I just received letter from CHEN GUI and his son CHEN DENG.
LU BU trusted them very much.
They got invited into the general's house of XU ZHOU.
Great!
Tell them that
they must provocate the relationship between LU BU and CHEN GONG,
make CHEN GONG lose LU BU's trust and lose power.
At the same time,
make LU BU mad of LIU BEI.
When XU ZHOU is in chaos from inside,
we'll get the city.
When things have been done,
I'll report to His Majesty
and make CHEN GUI governor of XU ZHOU.
Please be assured , my lord.
CHEN and his son are very intelligent.
They won't disappoint you.
Alright then.
Let's go.
Go back home.
General, in the present situation,
whoever gets the help of yours
will be controlling the country.
YUAN SHU didn't get your help
and he lost the battle of SHOU CHUN and regret forever.
I don't think so
The general is such a great warrior,
he can use XU ZHOU as base and march into central plain.
After getting the central plain, you may get the country.
Why would he help YUAN SHU Nor anybody?
You're right, father.
The top level horsemen the general lead,
nobody's army can compete with them.
The generals Red Hare Horse,
your double-eared halberd,
is world-beater.
General, you should build your own force
as well as your own regime.
Of course I will.
But,
I need you both
to help me to achieve it.
The general did so much favor to me and my son.
We'll of course work hard to repay you.
My father and me,
we should help you establish your regime.
Then our lives will be worth something.
Great!
Come on!
Drink this with me.
Mr. CHEN GONG (GONG TAI), you're here?
Please go to the dinner.
You should both leave.
I have something to tell LU BU (FENG XIAN).
Don't need go too far. Just wait outside the pavilion.
OK.
LU BU (FENG XIAN),
I heard that you invited them
living in your house?
Right.
And made them senior stuff?
Also right.
LU BU (FENG XIAN),
those two men
are both mean and flattery people.
When they sewed TAO QIAN,
they plotted with YUAN SHAO
against their lord for their own benefits.
Then TAO QIAN found out about that,
he almost killed them.
Then TAO QIAN couldn't do it,
he just fired them from their positions.
Now. . .why
are they here with you?
And you're even so close to them?
CHEN some (some TAI),
CHEN GUI and CHEN DENG are loyal to me.
Why are you jealous of them?
What?
You think I'm jealous of those devils?
LU BU (FENG XIAN)!
You are good at fighting in the field.
But you're not good at telling good person from bad ones.
Now they flattered you so much,
they must want something from you.
Please do not
be confused by their sweet words.
CHEN GONG!
Why are you saying such negative things?
You wanna set up loyal men?
Loyal men?
They are betrayers!
They are definitely not loyal men!
I can tell myself whether they are good or evil.
I don't need your opinion.
Don't you forget,
in the XU ZHOU city,
I'm the lord.
Now I see,
now with the CHENs, general
you don't need me any more.
If you think you are sufferred grievance about this,
then suit yourself.
OK. I'm leaving.
But remember,
there'll be disaster in XU ZHOU soon.
Just wait for it.
By the way,
bring the two generals to drink with me.
He's a subordinate.
How could he order his lord around?
Not only order the lord around,
he tries to control his lord.
That's against the rank status.
I'd like to see what
are you guys planning to do?
Didn't you just say, wait for it.
See you, Mr. CHEN GONG (GONG TAI).
Real advice he won't take, and evil is in power.
Along this path,
not only XU ZHOU city will be lost,
I'll be in big trouble too.
I should leave LU BU and look for a good lord.
But in this big world, where is the real lord?
Where do I belong?
Although LU BU is foolish,
he always treats me decently.
He's very straightforward.
He's still a little boy!
Man!
Mr. CHEN.
Prepare my horse for me. I'll go hunting out of town.
Yes, sir.
That man is very suspicious. Arrest him!
Yes, sir.
Stop him! Do not let him escape!
Stop him!
Damn it!
The bastard LIU BEI, he is plotting with CAO CAO,
and trying to get XU ZHOU!
General,
LIU BEI always hates you for getting XU ZHOU from him,
but he can't win you.
He can only go to CAO CAO,
and use CAO's help to get XU ZHOU.
I've seen him through for a long time.
LIU BEI seems loyal but he's not. He seems innocent but not.
He acted like a decent man,
but he's plotting against others.
He's a real big hypocrite.
You're right!
Very Good!
Especially the one about "seems loyal but not, seems innocent but not".
Very accurate.
But disloyal people like that
is it only LIU BEI?
In our XU ZHOU city,
aren't there other disloyal betrayers?
Other betrayers? Who?
General,
Mr. CHEN GONG (GONG TAI) meant for me.
Exactly!
I meant you and your father!
If I'm not wrong,
you and your father seem loyal but are not,
and are plotting evil plan.
Why are you saying that?
Why'?
Before you come to the general's house,
XU ZHOU city was in peace.
After you moved in,
there're all kinds of fuss.
First, CAO CAO confered the general NXU ZHOU governor.
Then, in XU ZHOU city, there appeared
many suspicious YAN ZHOU merchants.
Now we got this secret letter.
Tell me, do you work for CAO CAO,
or for LIU BEI?
Or you work for both of them?
Please cut off my head, general,
and clear CHEN GONG'S doubt.
CHEN GONG.
You accuse CHEN DENG a betrayer, do you have evidence?
Though I don't have evidence,
I'm sure of my judgement.
Now you hear, general?
If he tries to frame me, he always finds the reason!
CHEN GONG.
I always told you not to be jealous.
But you
you are always making things up.
I'm telling you,
since CHEN DENG moved in here,
he said a lot of great things about you.
He praised your great knowledge,
your amazing military skills.
He even said you're the best consultant in the world.
But you...
Really?
Of course they'll praise me in front of you.
Or why it is said "seem to be loyal but are not",
"seem innocent but not"?
CHEN GONG,
apologize to CHEN DENG.
Then the misunderstanding might be resolved.
Absolutely no!
Listen to me!
I order you to apologize to him!
General,
CHEN DENG offered you the sword,
why don't you just kill me?
You want me apologize to the devil, never!
You...
General,
I don't dare ask Mr. CHEN to apologize to me.
I'll apologize to Mr. CHEN GONG (GONG TAI).
Rest assured, Mr. CHEN GONG (GONG TAI),
my father and I are trying our best to help the general.
But we'll never
think of replacing you with your position of Prime Minister.
Me and my father,
we will see you as our teacher,
and serve the general together.
Did you hear, Mr. consultant?
How generous and open is he!
Alright, general.
Are they loyal or disloyal, just wait and see.
LIU BEI plotted with CAO CAO against me and XU ZHOU.
I decided to send army to annihilate LIU BEI,
to terminate him once for all.
Take my order,
ZHANG MAO, GAO SHUN,
you lead 10,000 best soldiers Nat-tack GUAN YU's camp at night.
SONG XIAN and WEI XU lead 10,000 soldiers
to prevent them from escaping.
I'll lead the main troops to get PEI.
I'll kill ZHANG FEI myself.
When the army leave,
CHEN GUI and CHEN DENG guard the XU ZHOU city.
Follow the order strictly.
Yes, sir.
Get prepared right now.
After sunset,
gather at the south Pass and get ready to leave.
Yes, sir.
LU BU (FENG XIAN),
let me guard the XU ZHOU city.
No.
You're the best strategist.
At the batter field, I need you to help me with ideas.
But you offered your family and the whole city
to CHENs father and son.
If anything happens, what do you do?
Mr. consultant, you still don't trust them?
Yes, I don't trust them.
Mr. consultant, you both share the family name CHEN,
why can't you bear their existence?
I never heard them saying bad stuff about you.
But you talk evil about them behind them all the time.
LU BU (FENG XIAN),
now I won't talk about they're good or evil.
I'm only talking about XU ZHOU.
XU ZHOU is our base camp.
It's our life source, which we can never lose.
So no matter what,
we have to appoint
a general we trust to guard it.
I think,
we could choose one from ZHANG LIAO
and GAO SHUN to guard XU ZHOU.
No.
Although LIU BEI doesn't have many soldiers,
he has best warriors like GUAN YU, ZHANG FEI and ZHAO YUN.
And I can't win all three of them.
So I have to take ZHANG LIAO and GAO SHUN with me.
But no matter how
we have to separate the father from his son.
One stays, the other go to the front line.
OK.
I'll make his father CHEN GUI guard the city,
and take CHEN DENG with the army.
Don't you hate CHEN DENG the most?
I'll take him.
Alright.
Father,
CHEN GONG has already suspected us.
From now on,
we have to be very careful with every move.
Though CHEN GONG suspects us,
LU BU still trusts us firmly. So it's fine.
After we leave,
we'll take care of things out of the city.
You have to mind everything in the city.
The two senior officers and junior officers who stay in the city
were all bought by me.
They're willing to work for the court.
Alright,
after LU BU lost the battle,
he will rush back to XU ZHOU.
Do not let him into the city, father.
Don't worry.
The soldiers guarding the bridge
were all selected by me.
Take ca re, father.
Take care, my son.
Go!
Giddap! Giddap! Giddap!
Giddap! Giddap!
Close the gate!
LU BU?
I really didn't expect
that LU BU wants me dead.
Don't worry, my brother.
You got me!
LU BU?
Just guard the city, big brother.
I'll take 3,000 iron armored horsemen to fight that bastard.
Wait!
The enemy is too strong. We shouldn't fight them.
Ml FANG!
My lord.
I suppose in less than the time Na bunch of incense bums out,
the whole city
will be totally besieged by LU BU.
I don't have time to write a letter.
Please go out of the city immediately.
Go ask CAO CAO to help us.
And when you pass GUAN YU's camp,
just tell him guard the camp and wait for further notice.
Before CAO CAO's army is here,
never send troops to aid PEI. Remember!
Yes, sir!
- Brother ZHANG. N-Here.
Close all passes.
Order the soldiers defend the enemy high on the wall.
That thief LU BU, he only knows sudden attack.
Big ear, where are you?
I'm LIU BEI, up here.
General LU BU (FENG XIAN),
why are here with your troops?
You plotted with CAO CAO to get my XU ZHOU city.
You must've misunderstood me.
I'm guarding XU ZHOU city with you.
I'm always with you.
I'll never plot with CAO CAO to get XU ZHOU.
Because if XU ZHOU is taken, PEI will too.
Why would I be so stupid?
Did you see this?
This is the secret letter CAO CAO sent you.
CHEN GONG got this evidence himself.
Big ear! I always treated you well.
Why did you betray me?
You seem a decent man, but you're such a devil.
Open the gate,
and I'll spare your life.
Otherwise,
when I occupy the city,
I won't spare one life!
It's either CAO CAO's setting me up,
or CHEN GONG is setting me up.
Giddap! Giddap! Giddap!
General CAO!
I have something important to tell you!
I am CAO CAO.
Who are you?
I'm CHEN GUl's servant.
My lord ordered me to report to you, general CAO.
LU BU was tricked by our plan.
He took his troops to attack PEI.
Great! Just great!
Go back and tell CHEN GUI,
guard the city tight.
Do not let LU BU go back into XU ZHOU.
I'll be there in three days.
And tell him and his son,
after we win, the court will reward them a lot.
And you too!
Yes, sir.
- CAO REN. l'm here.
His horse can't hold anymore. Change one for him.
OK.
And order the troops to move faster.
Yes, sir. Come with me.
Mr. CAO.
I'm CAO CAO
Who are you?
LU BU led his army to attack PEI.
My lord need help.
He ordered me to ask aid from you.
I know, OK?
Didn't you see I'm heading towards XU ZHOU?
Mr. CAO,
how could you know it beforehand
that LU BU is attacking PEI?
Good question, how could I know?
Because I can anticipate things before the enemy act.
What?
Giddap! Giddap! Giddap!
Mr. consultant, it's been 3 days.
No matter how our soldiers provoked them in front of the city,
LIU BEI just won't come out.
The wall of PEI city is over 5 feet.
We can't get in very soon.
What do we do now?
LIU BEI is obviously waiting for aid.
Aid? Who's gonna aid him?
Did you forget
that LIU BEI was plotting with CAO CAO?
CAO CAO...
If CAO CAO led big army here,
we'll be in trouble.
Or shall we go back?
At the first place,
I didn't support the idea of attacking LIU BEI.
But you insisted to take PEI.
Now since we're here,
we've made enemy with LIU BEI.
How could we provoke him for a while then leave?
And I did some calculation.
Even CAO CAO ran towards here now,
he can't make it until at least 5 days later,
from YAN ZHOU to PEI.
That means
we still have 4 days.
If within 4 days,
we can get PEI.
Even CAO CAO's main troops are here,
they can make nothing then.
OK.
Mr. consultant,
how do we get PEI?
PEI can be easily guarded, but very hard to attack.
The only way is to lure LIU BEI out and fight.
Alright.
Then how should we lure LIU BEI out?
My general,
why do you ask me about everything?
Why don't you ask your those two senior officers of yours?
At this urgent moment,
I have to rely on you, Mr. consultant.
Teach me, Mr. CHEN.
Please teach me, Mr. CHEN.
LU BU (FENG XIAN),
how about this?
We...
- General. N-ls there anything unusual?
No.
- Guard the city carefully. N-Yes, sir.
LIU BEI (XUAN DE), my brother, see this letter is like seeing me.
I took 30,000 soldiers here to aid you.
I'll be there very soon.
Brother ZHANG.
What?
CAO CAO's army is here.
He asked me to cooperate with him from inside to get LU BU.
Great!
He's really fast.
I can kill some enemies now.
I was holding back these days which is killing me.
The date will be 12?
It's tomorrow.
Can CAO CAO use military forces so fast?
Did he send his army
before LU BU came to me?
Big brother,
the sun will rise in a couple of hours.
Arrange the soldiers now.
Alright, get everyone in the hall.
Yes, sir.
Big ear, come here and get killed!
You're really a shrinking violet.
Get out! Let me kill you!
Come out of the city and die!
Come out and die!
You scared baby!
Come out! Scared baby!
Come out and die!
Scared baby! Come out!
Get out of here and die!
Big brother, look! CAO CAO's army is here!
LU BU's soldiers are disturbed.
Brother ZHANG, don't fight for too long.
Lure the enemy into the bay of PEI river.
I know.
All forces, open the door and fight!
Yes, sir!
Charge!
Aren't we suppose to be fight LU BU here together?
Where is CAO CAO?
Brother GUAN!
Brothers!
GUAN YU (YUN CHANG), why are you here?
Last night, CAO CAO's men shot a letter with the arrow,
and asked me to be here and fight LU BU.
Damn it! We've been set up!
It must be CHEN GONG'S trick to lure us out.
GUAN YU (YUN CHANG), retreat!
Big ear!
Big ear! Now you can't hide!
Get off the horse and die!
Damn you bastard LU BU! I'll make you pay!
Charge!
Let's leave.
GUAN YU (YUN CHANG), ZHANG FEI (Yl DE), run!
Follow up!
Where are general GUAN and general ZHANG?
They are trapped in there!
My lord, I saw it myself,
general ZHANG was stabbed by LU BU and fell off the horse.
I'm not sure if he's dead or not.
Let's go back!
My lord, you can't go back there!
Don't go back there, my lord!
My lord, you can't!
I'll go back!
If my brothers died, I won't live!
My lord, don't do that!
Don't! My lord!
Move aside!
My lord!
My lord, don't!
I'll go back!
My lord, you can't!
My lord, look! The help is here!
The aid is here!
CAO CAO, you're finally here!
LIU BEI (XUAN DE).
Mr. CAO.
I'm sorry.
I'm a little bit late.
And you're not in a very good condition.
Mr. CAO,
a few days ago,
did you send people to carry a letter for me
and the letter was caught by CHEN GONG?
Yes, it's true.
But the letter wasn't for you.
I wrote it for CHEN GONG.
What?
You let him get the letter on purpose?
Of course.
Otherwise, how could he go to war with you?
And how would he leave XU ZHOU?
It's ashame
that I lost the life of None of my loyal servants.
CAO CAO,
do you know how merciless you are?
This evil trick of yours
not only cost my city,
but also made my brothers trapped in the enemy
I don't know if they're still alive.
I know that.
Do not feel sad, my brother.
I can take the city for you.
If you lose GUAN and ZHANG,
you still got me.
Let's join together, we can achieve anything.
Get on the horse.
Just watch how I get LU BU.
General! General!
General, our men found that CAO CAO's main army is here.
Didn't you say that Nit takes at least 5 days to get here?
It's only the 3rd day!
CAO CAO is so sly!
He must've set off earlier.
Where's CAO's army?
I can't see it.
Of course you can't see it.
I think,
he must've gone to XU ZHOU!
XU ZHOU?
Yes!
He wants XU ZHOU?
Go back, now!
Come on!
CHEN GUI!
Open the door and put down the hanging bridge.
LU BU.
XU ZHOU city doesn't belong to you Nat the first place.
You stole it from LIU BEI.
I'll offer it to the court today.
You bastard! Betray your lord!
He and his son
it's not the first time they betrayed their lord!
Fool!
CAO CAO's army is coming.
Run for your life!
Or you'll get killed in here.
Where's CHEN DENG?
Arrest him!
I'll use his head to force his father to open the gate!
You're still so naive!
CHEN DENG escaped long time ago.
CAO CAO's army is here!
Mr. CHEN, there're enemies in three directions.
What should we do?
Now,
it seems CAO CAO has got most the states of XU ZHOU.
But XIA Pl shouldn't been taken now.
We can defend for a while there.
Retreat to XIA Pl!
Come on!
Retreat to XIA Pl! Go!
Big brother! Big brother!
Big brother!
My brothers!
- Big brother! N-Big brother!
Big brother!
My brothers.
You're both OK.
Thank God!
Big brother,
brother ZHANG and me rushed out of enemy and looked for you.
We were so worried.
I told brother GUAN.
We shouldn't be worried.
The big brother is from the heaven.
He'll survive no matter how harsh the situation is.
My brothers, you're both heroes!
LIU BEI (XUAN DE),
was I right?
Now you have your brothers,
as well as your city.
With my brothers, NI don't want anything else.
The city
of course belongs to you.
You are a wise man.
Let's go, big brother.
- Let's go. Let's go.
- Welcome to the city. I'm CHEN GUI. l'm CHEN DENG.
You may raise yourself.
You both made great contribution to the court.
I'll report to His Majesty
and confer you with dukedom and titles.
Thank you, Mr. CAO.
My lord,
LU BU went to XIA Pl.
- CAO HEN. N-My lord.
Reward the soldiers now.
All departments rest for 3 days, then...
No, rest for 1 day.
We'll attack XIA Pl tomorrow.
My lord,
the soldiers have been travelling for over 300 kilometers.
Even the men can hold on,
the horses can't.
Only one day, I'm afraid...
LU BU is like a wounded wolf.
If we don't chase him right now,
he might go to YUAN SHAO.
Then,
YUAN SHAO will be more powerful.
Do you understand?
Yes, I do.
LU BU (FENG XIAN).
We just lost big battles and almost died.
We just arrived XIA Pl.
Look at you,
you're enjoying yourself right away.
Mr. CHEN, I'm tired, I need rest.
Do you know that the morale is so low.
There's so many wounded soldiers.
As a military leader,
you should go to the soldiers.
L just did.
I inspected the city defense.
How about it?
The wall of XIA Pl is very solid.
There're plenty of food in the city,
enough for 100 days.
There's SI SHUI river outside the city, the stream is fast.
If CAO CAO's army is here,
we may defend ourselves inside.
There're no need to worry.
- Don't worry, Mr. CHEN. N-Report!
You...
General, CAO CAO's army is in front of the pass.
Did you hear? CAO CAO's troop is here again.
You were drinking and entertaining yourself.
They didn't take any rest.
Close the door and defend inside. Don't fight them.
Yes, sir!
Report!
General.
CAO CAO is in front of the hanging bridge on his horse,
asking to see you.
He wants to see me?
LU BU (FENG XIAN), CAO CAO (MENG DE) is very sneaky.
Just ignore him!
What's the big deal if I meet him?
Maybe...
he's asking for peace.
You...
What a naive man you are!
You may go on the gate, I'll dress my armor and be there.
Bring my double-eared halberd.
Yes, sir.
General, Mr. CHEN GONG (GONG TAI) is very loyal to you.
Please listen to him.
CHEN GONG is loyal, but he's too arrogant.
Then aren't you arrogant?
In my opinion,
in the whole world,
you're the most arrogant man.
Think about it, general.
CHEN GUI and his son, they were humble.
But they hide their menace behind that.
You're right, honey.
I shouldn't treat CHEN GONG that way.
You're the best warrior in the world.
But as for strategy planning,
compared to Mr. CHEN,
you're just a child.
Come on.
Go to discuss with Mr. CHEN what you should do.
Just go.
