If I intended to hide the truth
I would not sleep at the hall
what do you mean
3 years ago
you sent people to my place
when it was the GUAN DU victory
after you defeated Dongzhuo
killed IV BU and destroyed YUAN SHU
you destroyed big enemy YUAN SHAO
the prime minister at that time
held his majesty in arms
and had warranty in mouth
with million troops
and numbers of fine generals
intelligents across the nation
all came to you
you saw the nation as yours too
which you would get one day
if I come to you that time
you at most let me be a county official
that would waste my ambitions
how dare you
how can you be so arrogant
Forgive me, prime minister
I am just telling the truth
I don't want to be
at others feast, ask for food
but only want to offer some rice
when others are hungry
now you got defeated at RED CLIFF
and trouble in a perilous and tremendous moment
now you need intelligents again
How arrogant you are
so far as I know
you have a lot of arrogant in your camp
and evil thieves as well
but you can use them well
you can let them work the best
no matter he's an evil thief
or someone very arrogant
he will offer you his aid
Therefore
you are a bright man after all
SIMA Yl, SIMA Yl
come to XU CHANG with me tomorrow
can I ask
What position will you offer me
county official
How can you ask like this
it would be better if I know
I have one crucial position in my mind
nobody can be up to it for a long time
Can you take it
Please be more specific
lnternal messenger in East mansion
to be my son CAO CHONG's teacher
to teach him
CHONG is the most exceptional of all my sons
prime minister
young lord CAO CHONG
is only to years old
what can I teach him
he is only to years old
but he will grow up
just let me be county official
if you don't take it
I must kill you
in case you go to SUN and LIU
ZHONG DA
the failure at RED CLIFF
makes me think a lot
unifying this nation needs
far more than 1 O years
maybe it needs 2 or 3 generations to finish it
As long as I am living
with my intelligence I am not afraid of any enemy
but what if I die
offsprings of Cao need the support and aid of
someone as smart as you
to survive in this chaotic world and to win
Do you understand me
yes, I will do it
CAO HEN
ls the reporter back?
Any move of LIU PEI and SUN QUAN?
They are both reorganizing their own troops and horses
no other big movements
they are 300 miles away
I know what's their plan
what they are aiming at is
our Southstate
Caoren
yes
SUN and LIU
has been aiming at
JING XIANG 9 counties for long
they will attack sooner or later
If they want to take JING XIANG
they have to go to Southstate
you will confront with them
once they come to attack
I will fight them with my life
it's too dangerous here
please go back to XU CHANG
Caoren
Although Southstate don't have many troops
but it's well defended
easy to defend but hard to attack
once I get back to XU CHANG
I will dispatch more troops to support you
remember
no matter what happen
you must defend Southstate
don't lose it
yes
prime minister, prime minister
prime minister
a report from XU CHANG
from who
XUN YU
prime minister, what happened
XUN YU is really wordy
my HAN lady is about to give birth to my child
a single unimportant event
makes he send me fast report
congratulations, prime minister
women are troubles
not earlier, not later,but now
nevermind
I 'll go back to XU CHANG tomorrow morning
CAO HEN, CAO HONG
go to make arrangement
yes
CHENG YU
yes
XU CHU
yes
you two lead the army
set out in 3 days
go now
yes
let's go
prime minister
prime minister, prime minister
I have headache
the report from XUN YU tells that
MA TENG and HAN SUI from XI LIANG
sent 80,000 troops
to attack XU CHANG at night
what
those two bastards
we've just suffered the defeat at RED CLIFF
and they
they attacked our base now
prime minister
If XU CHANG be lost
LIU PEI and SUN QUAN will come
at that time it would be totally chaos
listen
we will never lose it
Don't inform camps at Southstate
otherwise if they get panic
we might lose control
I can't ride a horse anymore
CHENG YU, prepare a can
send me back to XU CHANG all night
XU CHU
yes
you ride to XU CHANG now
tell XUN YU, tell him
I will arrive at morning of 9th
let him prepare to welcome us
Sir, Sir
Are you asleep
no, I am listening to the wind
there's no wind outside
wind comes from the lake
ears can only hear wind from 3 miles away
if you want to hear that of 30 miles away
you can only feel it with your heart
my lord XUN
your report has been delivered
tell me
MA TENG and HAN SUI have two divisions
coming directly to XU CHANG now
especially MA TENG's army
they travel 300 miles a day
their front army has passed WU SHI ZHAI already
why they divided into two
why didn't they take big road
but crossing WU SHI ZHAI
oh, right, right
they seem strong and powerful
but in their hearts they are afraid of prime minister
horses from XI LIANG are all very good
if they keep travel like this
they will reach XU CHANG in a few days
the army needs several days
but their reporters
might have in this city already
This is not a good sign
we have only 6000 troops guarding this city
I have to shut all gates immediately
and prohibit anyone coming through
you can't shut the gates
once you close the gates
they will know that
we have insufficient troops
so they will strengthen their power
pass my order
let all guards pay attention
to keep everything as usual
yes
where is prime minister now
he said in his letter from Southstate
he will arrive at morning on 9th
but
but what
in general
he needs to rest when
he gets XIANG YANG
and reports will be sent to us
therefore the reporter should be here 3 clays earlier
but until now
no such reporter comes here
we can see that
he must have been delayed
and he can't arrive at 9th
tomorrow is 9th, right
yes
send people to clean south gate
make arrangement to welcome
pass my order
all subjects in this city
wait in line at south gate tomorrow morning
to welcome prime minister's returning
young lord, a few days ago
young lord of Zhong
brought his Blackgeneral to compete our Goldback
and you know what happened
Goldback jumped onto the back of Blackgeneral
and bit it into two pans
good, don't bring me shame
raise it well
has he had a Silvergeneral
bring Goldback to compete him tomorrow
yes, young lord, please
snake, young lord, snake
young lord, snake, snake
it's gone now
why there is snake here
there is
young lord
that's the poisonous WU BU snake
you don't know about it
a few days ago
XUN's horse died suddently
nobody can find out the reason
I knew why
it's bit by WU BU snake
but nobody believed me
young lord
WU BU snake is very poisonous
you have to be careful
MA TENG and HAN SUI is coming soon
we have few troops here
it's almost an empty city
how can we defend them
prime minister actually has no idea too
so he let me make a deceptive show of strength
to arrange an event to
welcome the big army back
to get the enemy scared
and slow down they coming
at the same time
to confort troops and civilians
to make them not panic
I understand
military players like to trick
prime minister is very smart
flags fly at the city gate
we have to make it very big
let civilian go to welcome too
and send 2000 troops
to welcome them at 1 O miles away
2000 troops outside the city
In that way
the guarding troops is even less
the situation now
those 2000 will not make any difference
use them to make a scene
they will make MA TENG and HAN SUI 80,000 troops
hesitate to forward
As long as we get over those days
XU CHANG will survive this catastrophe
who's there
I know there are spies here
but it's impossible for them to get into the mansion
lord, let me check it
how dare you
young lord
Mr.XUN
you wound hasn't healed yet
please take care
not a problem
Mr.XUN
any news from my father
when will he come back
I was about to tell you
a report from him this evening
says he came out from Southstate at 4th
they will arrive tomorrow morning
good, I will lead my brothers
to welcome outside the city
wait
your would hasn't healed yet
father's army will be back
how can I not go to welcome
besides
we've been defeated at RED CLIFF
we have more reason to
make it big to welcome them
no, you'd better stay
why is that
let me tell you the truth
your father will not come back in a few days
we welcome them
is all about to make a scene
to frighthen MA TENG and HAN SUI
so you don't need to go
I understand, good bye
take care
be careful
WU ZHI
young lord
send people to tell my
brothers CAO ZHANG, CAO ZHI and CAO CHONG
tell them, Mr.XUN said
father won't be back in days
tell them tomorrow
not to go outside the city
yes
my young lord asked
you three young lords
not to go out of the city to welcome
young lord
this is not right
you listen carefully
it's not I don't allow them going
it's XUN YU not allow them
yes
Mr.XUN
asked you three young lords
not to go outside city
it's right now
young lord
since prime minster will not be back tomorrow
then we should take this chance
to ask young-lord of Zhong's out
let their Silvergeneral fight our Goldback
to see who's the winner
give me the pot
this is really something
very rare
young lord
I am not exaggerating
our Goldback
has no enemy in this world
young lord
don't give me this shit from now on
yes
tomorrow morning
come with me to welcome my father
young lord
Didn't you say prime minister
would not be back tomorrow
SO
I have to go to welcome him as his son
I am his first son
gentlemen
prime minister sent order
said he set out from
Southstate 3 days ago
and would arrive XU CHANG today
his coming back this time
with 80,000 feet soldiers
30,000 rider soldiers
that's 110,000 in total
there are rumors those days
that prime minister has headache
let me tell you
prime minister is very well
healthy and good
you will see him ourself later
one more thing
you have to keep it secret
besides the 110,000 troops
brought by prime minister
and ordered secretly 50,000
rider soldiers in Qingzhou
to go to WU SHI ZHAI at night
to attack MA TENG and HAN SUI from XI LIANG

prime minister, right now
right now, what happened to me
I was having headache
the headache almost killed me
but now I am fine
how can it happened this way
when the headache comes
it comes this way
like everything is crumbling
like cut by knives
but once it's gone
everything back to normal fast
I remember once
that was at Guandu battle
that time too
headache for days and nights
I couldn't even sleep
do you know how it's gone
I have no idea
CHEN LIN's fighting statement
make me recover
in that article he damned
my 3 generations of ancestors
I was damned the worst
as a result
that's good for my recovery
I felt good and headache's gone
ZHONG DA, you was saying pardon
for what
I called you name directly
pardon me, prime minister
why can't it be called directly
it's just a name
let me ask you
why human's feet are
whiter than their face and hands
I don't know
because they are hid all the time
let's go
Mr.ZHOU,Mr.ZHOU
what's wrong, wake up, wake up
what happened, wake up, wake up
Mr.ZHOU,come, rise
gentlemen
prime minister has sent fast report just now
says he would rest at XIANG YANG
for one night today
he would not arrive today
thank you all
go home to have some rest
we've been waiting for one day
tomorrow morning
please come back here in time
to welcome prime minister
tomorrow he will arrive
yes
young lords, please go back
second brother, let's go
you go first
I will come soon
alright
young lord, please go back
I want to wait more
maybe father will come today
that's impossible
prime minister is very careful
he won't travel at night
although he's very careful
but he change his mind a lot
how can you know
what he's going to do
you may go back now
don't worry about me
lord XUN
has the reporter come back
the 3 rider-reporters we sent
2 of them have come back
they said
MA TENG's XI LIANG soldiers
have arrived WU SHI ZHAI
they made camp at once
and stopped forwarding
good
go to check again
for every 4 hours
send one reporter
to keep checking
yes
wait
has young lord CAO Pl come back
my lord
I think it's very strange that
what
it's obvious that prime minister
will not come back
but young lord Pi
are still waiting at south gate
waiting for prime minister
he's really a royal son
no matter how royal he is
prime minister does not know
but all subjects see it
and god see it too
as long as god knows it
prime minister will see it
one day, too
but my lord
the royalty of young lord Pi
there are rumors about it
tell me
people are talking
that young lord Pi was acting
to gain prime minister's trust
to compete being heir
shut up
general SONG
if you from now on
live a peaceful life
remember
never listen to those rumors
forgive my mistake
I will remember that
go now
yes
today is the fourth clay
it might still be nothing
why your brother not here today
he's still young
maybe he's tired
he should come today
why
prime minister will come at noon
he's been waiting for 3 days
how can he fail to come today
lord XUN
prime minister is here
I've seen the can already
play music, go to welcome
welcome prime minister
murder, murder
protect prime minister
prime minister
father, father
prime minister
prime minister, father
tell me, where is prime minister
he sent me to deliver message
he has entered at west gate
my son CHONG
how do you know
I will be back today
for 3 days
lord XUN order all subjects
to welcome you at south gate
but you've never come
so I was thinking
it must you let lord XUN
make a scene at south gate
to frighten Xiliang troops
but, three and out
today, you should come back
but all the subjects were
waiting at south gate
why you go to the west one
they've been waiting at
south gate for 3 days
everyone in XU CHANG knows that
how can XI LIANG people not know
if you still come from south
they will murder you
father you are so smart
you won't come from the south
then how do know that
I would come from the west
I may come from the east gate
or the north gate
I thought
if XI LIANG troops attacks XU CHANG
they must come from the west
because it face the mountain
the and walls are more damaged
havn't you been worried
about the defence at west gate
if you come into city
you will 80% from the west
in this way you can
check the defence at west gate
ZHONG DA
how do you think of my son
very smart, very rare
to tell you the truth
in all of my sons
CHONG is the most intelligent
take welcoming me this
issue as an example
Pi and others
only knew to wait at south gate
although CHONG is young
he saw through things
much better than his brothers
prime minister you are right
CHONG
this is SIMA Yl, styled ZHONG DA
from now on
he's your teacher
go, pay teacher respect
student CAO CHONG
pay teacher respect
I am too humble to be
to serve young lord
it's my great honor
father
father, prime minister
XUN YU
yes
sorry for keeping you waiting
at south gate for days
really appreciate that
to see you back
nothing can be more worthy
prime minister
for those four days
young lord CAO Pl
went to south gate early
to wait every day
until late night
all subjects
are all very impressed
by his royal behaviour
you should do this way
as an elder brother
did you get the murderer
I killed one
the rest have escaped
where are they from
they used long arrow of XI LIANG
must from MA TENG's army
after shooting the arrows
they went into the crowds
I didn't get them
this is my bad
you are not to blame
come
right, you are all here
now I have a puzzle
to test you
please go ahead
now the murderers must
still in XU CHANG city
tell me
how do I deal with them
