Rider reported yesterday that
LIU PEI has stationed troops
at YOU JIANG KOU
I was shocked
but I couldn't believe it
this morning I led army to check
it's true that LIU PEI has built
camps along the river
their flags fly in front
of the camps
judging from this situation
he's about to attack SOUTH-STATE
General CHENG, thank you
south state is a crucial
town in JING ZHOU
he will take SOUTH-STATE first
if he want to take JING ZHOU
General captain
JING ZHOU is ours
if LIU PEI dare to covet it
before he can do it
I will take his life first
XING BA is right
after CAO CAO's failure at RED CLIFF
things are different now
we and LIU PEI
will fight sooner or later
royal uncle LUI has been coveting
JING ZHOU even in his dream
of course he has
he must take SOUTH-STATE first if he want to take JING ZHOU
of course this is true
but
if they want to take SOUTH-STATE
Let' s just let them
General captain
we fought hard to defeat CAO CAO
was to get into central plain
to take 9 states in JING ZHOU
We' ve spent so much
hard-work and lives
how can we let LIU PEI take it
if LIU PEI takes JING ZHOU
in the future JIANG DONG will
suffer from both sides
CAO CAO from the north
and LIU PEI from the west
This is not right
we are not enemy of LIU PEI
we are friends
Chief will still ally with
LIU PEI to fight CAO CAO
Chief, am I right
Yes
Since there is still ally
we should not fight inside
but to share the same
aim to fight CAO
they want to take SOUTH-STATE
I think not only shouldn't
we stop them
but also we should
give then a hand
Chief
as far as I know
after severe fighting before
LIU PEI has no food supply left
they just passed spring food-lack
they have to kill the horse
for food in LIU army
I need your instruction
Can we use your name
to send 3000 food to them
GONG JIN(ZHOU YU) has the whole
situation in mind
very respectable
As for sending them food
you'll be in charge
Generals, listen
everything of frontline
all report to general captain
you don't need to report to me
Every time, I will agree with him
Yes
General captain
3000 food is ready now
you want me to g0 now
Why don't you g0
I don't understand
I want to ask you
just ask
South state is very crucial for JING ZHOU
such an important place
why do you want to give it to LIU BEI
IV MENG
you see what's in this water
lam just human being
I can't see what's there
no need to be angry
I am human being too
I can't see what's in it either
but I have it in mind
I can't see with my eyes
but I can feel it with my heart
there is a 20-feet-long fish
I see KONG MING(ZHUGE LIANG) as this fish
and he treat me as this fish too
Let' s see who will fish
who eventually
What do you mean
all LIU PEI has is 15,000 troops
and SOUTH-STATE is well-defended
the defending general is
CAO CAO 's key one- CAO HEN
they have 20,000 troops
all generals know that
to attack a city with
20,000 defending troops
one must have at least
60,000 fine troops
Does LIU PEI have that
None
He want to attack
without the ability
then he must lose
don't forget
Yl LING city is near SOUTH-STATE
CAO 's general CAO HONG guards it
corresponding with SOUTH-STATE
with the intelligence
of ZHUGE LIANG
how can he be not aware that
Although SOUTH-STATE is good
it's full of risks
since they don't have the ability
why do they still want to attack it
actually ZHUGE LIANG dare not
and he will not able to attack
he just try to pretend
that they are going to attack
Why
As he know I wouldn't just watch
he want to provoke me to
lead army to take SOUTH-STATE
to let me fight CAO HEN to death
and he will take advantage
so I want to send him 3000 food supply
to encourage him to attack
and I will just watch
General captain is bright
no need to be long
we just have to wait 20 days
ZHUGE LIANG see no action of us
leading army to attack SOUTH-STATE
he will not able to stand it
when he and CAO HEN are all
hurt after their fights
we will rush to them quickly
to take SOUTH-STATE by one move
then twice as much can be accomplished with half the effort.
You see
it's even bigger then I expect
zl JING(LU su)
some JIN(ZHOU YU) plan to aid LIU with food
Does he really want to
make peace with them
Of course not
I was thin king
that's just one pan of his plan
his aim is still to
south state is key to JING ZHOU
SUN and LIU both want it
but if it's done in a bad way
we both may be enemies
let's see GONG JIN(ZHOU YU) how to take it
Right
we have to fight for SOUTH-STATE
and to avoid being enemies
with them as well
then it becomes difficult
GONG JIN(ZHOU YU) gives them 3000 food
is to make them attack
and he will go afterwards
G0 back to tell GONG JIN(ZHOU YU)
to use the troops well
I will go back to CHAI SANG today
to wait for your good news
chief
so you'll just go
without GONG JIN(ZHOU YU) seeing you off
If I am here
it would be inconvenient for him
and for me too
If I go, he will be comfortable
so will I
Zl JING(LU SU), can't you see it
he wants me to go long ago
he wants me to sit on chief's
throne far from him
and give the military power
to him totally
so in front of all generals
you really gave him the power
Because I believe that
GONG JIN(ZHOU YU) will not let me down
he will defeat ZHUGE LIANG
big brother, counsellor
Counsellor, look
according to your requirement
we've built to ladders
which will be pulled
outside the camp
Let the reporters of DONG WU see
we are going to attack SOUTH-STATE
Well done
Those are not just to show
we will use them one day
Let brothers do it
you take a break
No, big brother
haven ' t fought for 3 months
I get bored
when I cut it hard like this
it feels like
curling ZHOU YU bastard into two
Very enjoyable
Chief, counsellor
Wu vassal sent IV MENG to give us
3000 food supply
to support our troops
the boats arrived at the coat
Wu vassal sent IV MENG to give us
3000 food supply
We really need food actually
but it's really strange
Why do you think it's strange
Wu vassal knows we are going
to attack SOUTH-STATE
he should get angry for this
but now he's not angry at all
and even aid us with food supply
Don't you think it's strange
SO portentous
must be ZHOU GONG JIN(ZHOU YU)'s idea
KONG MING(ZHUGE LIANG)
what should we do then
Yl DE
Yes
hide those tools for attacking
don't let them exposed at all
haven' t you said
we build those ladders
just to show them
now they are here
why do we hide them
what can I do
ZHOU YU is smarter then I think
if you show him the real things
he might think they are fake
and if you hide them
he will think they are real
he's a smart man after all
Don't understand
getting more and more confused
Third brother
just do as counsellor told you
Go now
Yes, alright, brothers
bring the ladders to the back
Chief
when IV MENG comes here later
just take him inside
we'll let him see
Good
General IV
Wu vassal is really kind
and generous
we are so moved by his action
I am using troops and
we need food supply urgently
what a surprise that Wu vassal
sent us 3000 food supply
the assistance is really in time
Royal uncle LIU
your are welcome
my chief said
your difficulty is our difficulty
besides, JIANG DONG is rich
we have endless money
and food supply
if you don't mind
we can send you more
how can we thank you for this
peach in NAN SHAN is ripe now
very sweet
let me send people to pick 300
Please take them to Wu vassal
just a small gift
just to show our gratitude
Good, thank you
Royal uncle LIU just said you
were going to use troops
where you are going to use them
What
Did I say that before
No
Yes, you d id
I heard it very clearly
Oh, my mistake, my mistake
Chief
you did say "use troops"
Zl MING is no outsider
we can tell him
Alright then
Zl MING, to tell you the truth
since last month
there is one army from
former CAI MAO in LING LING
they took the hill city
and have their own troops
I want to take it as our base
LING LING
you want to take LING LING
instead of SOUTH-STATE
SOUTH-STATE is guarded by CAO 's
main general CAO HEN
very difficult
Chief, chief
I have guest here
dismiss, tell me later
Royal uncle, go ahead
I can wait
What is it
Chief
Young lord LIU QI throws
up blood again
there is nothing doctor can do
upon anger of it, young lord
led troops back to JIANG XIA
we know now
Tell him
I'll be back soon
Yes
Come, Zl MING, come
Ok
What
LIU QI is at YOU JIANG KOU too
Yes, with his troops
that soldier slipped this
Did you see him yourself
it was reported by them
I did not see him myself
If LIU QI is at LIU PEl's camp
there is another possibility
What
ZHUGE LIANG may not be acting
he's going to attack SOUTH-STATE
General captain
LIU PEI has only 15,000 troops
to attack SOUTH-STATE is like
hitting the stone with an egg
LIU QI has 50,000 troops
at JIANG XIA
if he arrive at JIANG KOU
he will join LIU PEI
to attack SOUTH-STATE together
those two armies together
is over 60,000 troops in total
enough to attack the city
but I haven' t seen any ladders Nat LIU PEl's camp
What did you see
is what they wanted you to see
this is one
another thing is
the most important equipment to attack a city
is not ladder but the inside correspondents
what are you trying to say is
9 states in JING XIANG
was LIU BIAO's territory
he managed it for his whole life
but it was taken by CAO CAO eventually
but
of all the guarding armies
some of them are LIU's army
they are local army
the same in SOUTH-STATE
those people have a thing
with their former chief
if KONG MING(ZHUGE LIANG) not only use
LIU Cal's troops and horses
and connect former LIU army in it
then he may be able to attack SOUTH-STATE
Yes, you are right
he slipped one more thing
LIU said he would use troops soon
the food we sent is just in time
I asked him where to use
he got panic and said to take LING LING as base
LING LING
a small city like that
doesn't need his big move
full of lies and tricks
they really despise us
General captain
What should we do then
Don't worry
KONG MING(ZHUGE LIANG) is good at tricking
I will not be tricked by him
true or not of this
we have to find it out
to make decision
I will go to their camp myself
and see myself whether LIU QI
is there or not
I've been thinking about you
looking forward to see you soon
today my dream comes true
very lucky, very lucky
I should have come to
visit you earlier
but I've just been busy
and I failed to free myself
Please forgive me
your army are so great
very frightening
we knew you would come yourself
we are flattered
of course we should
welcome you with our army
Thank you, thank you
I've heard that
general LIU QI has come to
YOU JIANG from JIANG XIA
Why he's not here
he's very sick
and can't be here to welcome you
sick, is it serious
will he recover soon
serious disease or little illness
his old illness came back
he can't get out of bed
then I should pay him a visit
Royal uncle, look
I bring famous doctors of
JIANG DONG here
young lord lost a lot of weight
his health can not support him
he wants to rest peacefully
and refuses all visitors
Well
I thank you on behalf of him
at this moment
no need to visit him
if I insist on seeing him
would you mind
what are you talking about
as I miss him a lot
Chief
Since general captain wants
to visit general LIU QI
I think we should let him go
otherwise in his heart
he will feel uneasy
Th is is right
Good, let's go then
Young lord
haven' t seen you for years
but now you are so sick
Thank you for coming here
Forgive me
I can't rise to welcome
since you are so sick
Why don't you stay in JIANG XIA
but came to YOU JIANG KOU
to tell you the truth
9 states of JING XIANG was
my fathers territory
unfortunately it was
taken by CAO traitor
I led my troops here
intended to attack SOUTH-STATE
and take JING ZHOU later
to take revenge for my father
but my disease came to me
now, now it's very
difficult to do that
your high aim is very impressive
I won' t disturb you now
Please have a good rest
JING ZHOU will be back sooner or later
Thank you
JIANG DONG is full of royal men
and everything is so inspiring
GONG JIN(ZHOU YU), a few day ago
Wu vassal sent IV MENG
to give us food
and today when you heard that
young lord LIU QI is ill
and brought the doctors
I am really grateful for that
Come, I respect you
You are welcome
Royal uncle
I have a question
Go ahead
LIU QI led his army to YOU JIANG
to join yours
what's the purpose
about this
Are you going to take SOUTH-STATE
this
I was about to talk with you
how to discuss
some JIN(ZHOU YU)
let me tell you the truth
Although CAO CAO fled to XU CHANG
he left strong generals at SOUTH-STATE
if we don't get rid of this
it will be risk for SUN and LIU
so we plan to fight
to take tens of thousands of
troops to take SOUTH-STATE
as it's barrier for JIANG DONG
KONG MING(ZHUGE LIANG) you are really good
since you will help us
to take SOUTH-STATE
ls that really
who else don't know
having SOUTH-STATE is
having JING ZHOU
we all know that
in war time
vassals fight for territories
the most precious
are cities and land
Although SUN and LIU allied
even brothers should
divide their properties clear
the battle at RED CLIFF
we've spent the most troops
has the largest casualty
after the severe battle
we should not have nothing back
but royal uncle LIU
will take the victory alone
some JIN(ZHOU YU)
I've never thought of that
I just planed to kick CAO HEN
out of SOUTH-STATE
to get rid of the danger
in front of us all the time
if Wu vassal want to take SOUTH-STATE
then I will not compete with him
Really
Yes
you are of integrity after all
Thank you for that
I'll tell you the truth too
I've led 50,000 troops under
my chief's command
go forward to SOUTH-STATE
from JIANG BEI, in 30 days
we'll take it
so we have to wait
wait for your good news
Although CAO CAO was
defeated at RED CLIFF
he's still has 4 states at central plain
his troops, horses, money and
food supply are still more than our ours
the guarding general of
SOUTH-STATE CAO HEN
is really good at battling
CAO CAO sent him to defend
he must has his plan
troops and horses have just been through battle at RED CLIFF
if you send them to attack now
I worry for you
about what
that you might not able to take SOUTH-STATE
and will suffer
KONG MING(ZHUGE LIANG)
it's just SOUTH-STATE
I can take it just like taking item from a bag, very easy
so you had taken SOUTH-STATE
as your own belonging
very impressive
you don't have to
in 30 days
if I can't take SOUTH-STATE
then you can take it as you like
ls this word taken seriously
to use the words
Royal uncle just said
every word is real
Good
for what you said
we'll hold our troops
and just watch and wait
30 days later
If you can't take SOUTH-STATE
we'll have a try then
in 30 days
I will set feast at the gate
of SOUTH-STATE city
and invite royal uncle to drink
KONG MING(ZHUGE LIANG) if you are free then
you may join us as well
Thank you
I am looking forward to
the feast already
I am almost drunk now
Please
Royal uncle
Don't move, lie down
Thank you for helping me
when you are sick
Has ZHOU YU left?
Yes
Did he believe that you would attack SOUTH-STATE
he's very convinced now
he even made promise
that he would take
SOUTH-STATE city in so days
Thanks to you
if you didn't traveled
so far with illness
come here from JIANG XIA
then ZHOU YU would never believe
but in this way
it's not good for your health
I feel guilty for that
JING XIANG belongs to LIU
it should be taken back by me
but I can't
so you have to do me this favor
If I can fight for JING XIANG
territory for royal uncle
to give you a hand
even traveling 100 miles
or even thousands
I will still do it
those words
your father in another world
will be proud of you
at that time
if he passed you his JING ZHOU
everything would be different
what's done is done
I don't blame him not
I just blame him
being so long at JING ZHOU
but had no future plan for it
if he could see further
and pass JING ZHOU to you
how could he lost it
and how could it be
taken by CAO CAO
Nephew
Main general, look
that's ZHOU YU's squad
Wu troops are of high spirit now
they are not tired at all after
traveling for hundreds of miles
I can lead one army
to fight them dead
good, general NIU is very brave
you tell me, fight or not
Fight
Main general
we were just defeated at RED CLIFF
and enemy is very strong now
According to military rules
we should defend but not fight
and fight when they get tired
as generals
just confronted with failure
we should avoid fighting
not only military rules say so
I think our enemy think this way
look at their squads
in order at surface
but they have blanks inside
since we were just defeated
the enemy are very proud
therefore we have the chance
to fight them surprisingly
NIU JIN
Yes
That' s main general of DONG WU
GAN NING
I heard that he very brave
if I give you 500 fine troops
will you go fighting him
Yes, I will
Great
I'll knock drums for you
Thank you, general
Main general
GAN NING has 5000 troops there
you gave general NIU only 500
he will go and not come back
I want him to go and not come back
What does he mean
this is going to die
Brothers, follow me
Kill, kill
Main general
horn to order them retreat
General, general
Let' s retreat, let's retreat
Let' s retreat
those 500 troops led by NIU JIN
now there are 100 left
good, well done, well done
the brothers of NIU JIN
will all be dead soon
Great, well done
you see it carefully
I use only 500 troops
and 5000 troops of the enemy
all get very tired now
now their squads are in chaos
It' s worthy
even those 500 brothers all die
it Will Still be worthy
All generals, take order
Yes
15,000 troops in this city
all gather at the gate
open the gate after three drums
I want you all go fighting
Yes, main general
there is only 15,000 troops now
if they all go out
who's going to defend it
only you
me, me alone
Right, just you
You don't need to fight
you just keep knocking the drum
Look
5000 enemy troops there
have just fought once
they are all very tired now
if we send 3 times of them
to fight them severely
in half an hour
we can break them
in half an hour
if we can't break them
ZHOU YU
will lead big army here
so this is our only chance
and it's going soon
I take order
brothers, follow me
main general
three drums already
Brothers
outside are enemy that defeated
our army at RED CLIFF
It' s time for revenge
Let' s go to fight them
to kill them all
Kill, kill, kill
Kill, kill, kill, kill
Kill, let's go
I am late, too late
Those bastards
killed so many of our brothers
General captain
make order to attack them
Yes, let's attack them
Right, captain, captain
make order to attack them
see how high that wall is
if we attack by force
even we cut all trees
On NAN PING hill, it will
not enough to make our coffins
what should we do then
to track them out
we've lost Yl LING
and tens of thousands of troops
this is so dangerous now
what should we do next
ZHOU YU is the general
captain of DONG WU after all
really good at battling
after we lost Yl LING
we can't guard SOUTH-STATE
then should we abandon it
abandon it
it's such a crucial place
if we lose it
we will lose JING ZHOU too
How can I report to prime minister
no, I'd die rather than abandon
Good, guard it and wait for aid
we can't defend it any more
I think prime minister
can't send aiding troops either
What other idea do you have
to abandon it
General captain
Zl MING, here comes report
CAO troops got out of city
in three divisions
soldiers have bags on them
I think they abandon the city
What, how many of them
it's reported a few thousands
I thought they would
fight hard for days
but now they are leaving
gather the whole army
to go after CAO HEN
and take the city too
Yes
General captain, look
they abandon the city
and flee to north
Let' s go after them now
be patient
if we keep waiting
they will all flee then
Have you seen their
main general CAO HEN?
Not yet
As long as he's not out
we'll stay still
Retreat, retreat now, retreat
Retreat, retreat, run now, run
General, captain, that's CAO HEN
Go
Yes
The enemy is too strong
avoid fighting with them
CAO HONG, let's retreat to north
Yes, retreat, retreat
GAN NING
Yes
go to get CAO HEN
Yes, let's go
