>> Episode 26 <<
Father, don't get angry anymore.
Drink some tea.
I am not angry. I am grieving.
All are my sons
but how come I would have scum that just can't be taught?
Father, the citizens within the city now are all becoming unreasonable.
If we continue to stay here,
our brothers within the military will also be like them,
getting defeated without fighting, each one just dying in vain.
Is it worth it?
It's not up to you to say if it's worth it or not.
Other than Jiao and Meng,
there are still your older brothers who are the generals.
Or else, there is still me, your father, who is the Chief Commander.
It's not your turn to come up with ideas, acting just on your accord.
Father, the Yang's Army kept saying that we always act by putting the sake of the citizens first.
Is us just sitting here and waiting to die already putting the citizens first?
The situation now is dangerous.
I just thought of a method that will suit and accommodate the current situation.
- You— - Father!
Father.
Putting the citizens first has always been the motto of our Yang's Army.
Or else, why did we travel thousands of miles to come to Baishui City?
The method that will suit the current circumstances is to come up with a sure plan before acting.
Just rashly making a wrong decision can kill everyone. Do you know that?
Father.
When I said that you are not suited to be a general, I was right.
Just the concept of being 'steady,' you couldn't learn it.
Don't even talk about 'persistence.'
Either you learn from your older brothers
or just do your duty as a low-rank soldier.
That is to obey orders!
- Father, be careful! - Father!
Is your wound hurting?
My wound doesn't hurt.
It's my heart. It pains from my anger towards him.
- Father! - Father!
Younger Bro Six, go apologize to Father, okay?
You guys tell me. Isn't all that I've done for the sake of our brothers, for the other soldiers?
What did I do wrong?
Younger Bro Six, didn't Father already teach you
that you must first do what a low-ranked soldier should do; that is to obey orders.
Go now.
Reporting to General, based on our scout's report,
there is a man named Cui Yinglong within the Song military.
Cui Yinglong?
Day Spirit previously said that he only has one rival in this life,
which is Cui Yinglong.
If this person really has appeared, then he will be a strong opponent to us.
How come the Yang's Army was able to get this person's help?
I heard that he was Yang's Son Four's master.
Looks like we have an additional difficulty
in dealing with the Yang's Army.
Junior Sister, were you injured?
Xiahou Zhan?
It seems to be no use to continue fighting. They seem to disregard their life.
Junior Sister, do you still remember that move?
If one wants to catch the bandits, he should catch the leader first!
Master...
These people are really devoid of any conscience.
They actually used poison to control their own soldiers.
Let me relieve them of their suffering.
You must not.
Everyone has parents.
These people are injured and poisoned.
If we just kill them like this,
what's our difference versus those Liao people?
I know what to do already.
Yang's Son Four, what have you done to my men?
Tormenting them to this state.
You then have to ask yourself about that. Don't act as if you don't know anything.
To achieve victory, you actually used poison to control your own soldiers?
Don't you feel that doing that is so despicable?
- Take them to be treated. - Yes.
Come.
Isn't it you who doesn't care about their life or death?
Why must you heal them still?
This is a Liao matter. No need for you to worry about it.
Go now.
You could have fought our Yang's Army in an upright manner.
Using despicable means like these,
even if you win, it won't be honorable.
[The Young Warriors]
What do you mean?!
Say it. Why did you poison my men?!
Why?!
Didn't you want to eliminate the reinforcements of the Yang's Army?
Just by some people dying, we can resolve our future problems.
Why then won't we do it?
I already told you before
that I'd rather have a head to head battle with the Song army
than sacrifice my men!
Why didn't you listen to my order and instead acted on your own?!
Okay. Okay.
Since General thinks of his men's sake like that,
then your men dying for you is also an honor for them.
General!
Based on the testimony of one of our men, it was Xiahou Zhan
who used him to block the lethal attack of She Saihua.
Kill then. If you kill me,
that woman you love that's in Baishui City will then die from poison!
What did you say?
She's currently in Baishui City.
Without my antidote,
she will accompany me in death sooner or later.
General Yelü, I believe that you
know how to weigh your options, right?
General!
The poison in Baishui City has spread.
I fear that you might get into danger if you go.
Are you an agent of Death?
If you are,
hurry and take me away now.
Don't let me suffer this torment anymore.
I am here to save you.
It's you?
Hurry and take it. Hurry.
I will not eat it.
Unless...you can also save the citizens of Baishui City.
Or else, I'd rather die than accept your good intentions.
I will not save any Song people other than you.
But I cannot look at the person I love being tormented to death.
This is only your one-sided thinking.
I will not love you.
I know. The person you love is Yang's Son Five.
But let me tell you. Yang's Son Five has also been poisoned.
Soon, he will die too.
Son Five...also got poisoned?
Since everyone can't escape this fate,
then why not just let me die with him?
Maybe this is the best ending.
I will not let your wish be fulfilled.
Yelü Xie...
I hate you! I hate you!
You can hate me.
But you won't be able to stop everything that I plan to do.
Yelü Xie, let go of her!
She will be mine sooner or later.
Miss Guan.
Son Five, are you also poisoned?
I'm fine.
I most likely won't collapse that fast.
Did he do anything to you?
Sorry.
Yelü Xie forced me to take the antidote.
Sorry.
That's great then.
Since your poison has been cured,
even if I die, I won't have any more regrets.
No. You cannot die.
If you die, I will also go to die.
No. I told you before that even if it's just for me,
you must try to continue living no matter what.
You must remember these words.
Our men came back to report
that poisonous traps have been set up at the paths to Baishui City.
Madam Yang and I also went to scout some paths but we got blocked off by Liao soldiers.
We are already being monitored by the enemy.
They know of our every move like it's in the palm of their hand.
Even the most dangerous paths have been sealed off.
Are we then just going to sit and wait for death?
Looks like, to breakthrough their defense, we can only fight them in a long battle.
We can wait but the people in Baishui City can't spare even a second.
Don't wait then. Just fight them head on.
No. That's too risky.
This is the only way.
Even if it is risky, we have to try it.
What Prince said is right.
Acting recklessly will just lead to our army being completely defeated.
And if we activate the poisons,
we will also cause the death of innocent people in the vicinity of a hundred miles.
If we wait any longer, even our rations will be problematic.
Mr. Cui.
Miss Luo, you still haven't gone to rest this late at night?
For these past days, everyone has been working tirelessly for the matter about Baishui City.
I cooked some strengthening soup
to hopefully increase everyone's resistance and prevent the poison of the enemies from affecting us.
You really are quite considerate. Thank you.
I don't understand military and battle principles
so I can only do what I'm good at to boost everyone's morale.
Oh, right, miss, can you do something for me?
No need for Mr. Cui to be courteous. Just instruct me about it.
Can you additionally make Madam Yang a cup of ginger tea?
Is Madam Yang okay?
Maybe because she has been worrying about the situation of the Yang's Army and the citizens of Baishui City these pasty days,
I noticed that she is coughing a bit.
That's right. Madam Yang has asthma.
Since the weather recently is changing, it must be exacerbating again.
This is already a chronic illness of hers.
Oh, right, remember to put in more sugar.
She is a bit afraid of the spicy taste of ginger.
- No problem. - Thank you.
- You shouldn't work too late, either, okay? - Okay.
What are you thinking? You were so deep in thought.
Nothing. Aren't you going to cook medicines?
Let me accompany you then.
Come.
You and your Master have one thing in common.
Really?
You both treat women with an elegant demeanor.
I am thinking that your Master and Madam Yang must have a deep relationship.
So you noticed it too.
It's not surprising either. They are disciples under the same sect.
They trained together and lived together
for a very long time so they surely know each other very well.
These past days, we were mobilizing the troops and sending out soldiers.
We've forgotten about the changing of the weather.
Mother's asthma easily exacerbates.
Good thing, Master is very meticulous and that he thought about it.
- I'll take this to Mother then. - I made that for you.
I also have one?
You also have asthma so you must drink all of that.
I know that you don't like it sweet so I didn't put any sugar in it.
How come you remember my likes?
If one truly cares about someone,
you will then take note of what the other person likes and dislikes.
Thank you.
[The Young Warriors]
[Yang]
Mother, are you alright? Can I come in?
Come in.
Mother, what's wrong with you?
Nothing. Just a chronic illness.
Drink this ginger soup.
Did you have Miss Luo prepare it?
You even know that I like sweet things.
You really are so considerate towards me.
You are even more considerate than your father.
How can that be?
Father and Mother are so in love so no one can compare to Father's concern and love towards you.
I really am worrying about your father and brothers a lot.
Good thing you are by my side.
This is really my blessing.
Uncle, you are already sick so stop working here outside.
- Hurry and go home to rest. - Thank you, General Yang.
- Come over here. - Here! - Thank you.
- Help Uncle push his cart home. - Yes.
Come.
- Come, Uncle. - Okay. Thank you.
- Be careful. Come. - Rest well at home.
- Father! Father! - What's wrong with you, Chief Commander?
Did the area where the sword injury is move again?
Father, let's rest for awhile.
- Father! Father! - Chief Commander!
- Father! - Chief Commander!
- Father! - Let me carry you back, Chief Commander!
- I'm fine. - Father!
I am still able to hold on.
- Father... - Chief Commander...
Father, you know to tell the old man to go home and rest,
- but what about yourself? - As the Chief Commander,
I am bearing a heavy burden on my shoulders. If I collapse first,
won't that just be giving the Liao what they want?
Let's go.
What sound is that? Did something happen?
Get up.
Get up. Stand up.
All of you, get up! All of you get up and try to hold on with all your might.
All of you, stand up!
Chief Commander...
We soldiers of the Yang's Army will not fall!
Pound with all your might...
Pound!
Chief Commander Yang!
Chief Commander!
- Chief Commander! - Get up.
Get up.
Don't force yourself...
It's enough that you can stand.
Everyone has worked hard.
Chief Commander, don't say it like that.
Being able to follow Chief Commander into battles
is our lifetime's glory.
Chief Commander.
- Even if we die, we will not have any regrets. - Right!
Isn't it, everyone?!
Right!
Follow Chief Commander to protect Song! Follow Chief Commander to protect Song!
Follow Chief Commander to protect Song!
No regrets!
Listen to me, brothers, great job!
Follow Chief Commander to protect Song!
My brothers, you all have suffered.
You are all my most outstanding,
most splendid army.
Even if we are to die, we will die with indomitable spirit!
Follow Chief Commander to protect Song! Follow Chief Commander to protect Song!
Follow Chief Commander to protect Song!
Junior Sister, how come there are so many other beautiful flowers but you don't like them
and instead just like these dandelions that have no color at all?
I like it that it can fly.
It can take my wish to the Heaven
and let the Heaven fulfill my wish.
I will then plant this place full of dandelions so you can have more of your wishes fulfilled, okay?
I only have one wish right now.
I want my husband and my sons to be safe and sound.
Although we don't have a way to send the antidotes to Baishui City,
we can still use the power of the wind to deliver the antidote into the city.
Everyone, take note. We must grind the medicine into powder
that's fine enough to be blown away by the wind.
Thank you, everyone.
Prince, thank you.
What's the most important thing now is that we must do our best to save the Yang's Army.
Junior Sister, just be at ease.
As long as everyone is of one heart, we surely will be able to rescue Chief Commander Yang.
General Jiang, General Meng,
what are you two doing?
Engraving tombstones.
- Engraving tombstones? - Yes.
Why?
When humans pass by, they leave a name.
When a goose flies by, it leaves a sound.
We are engraving our tombstones so it won't be too late
when the time comes.
The Liao people used poison to attack the city.
If we don't have an antidote, we surely will die in this battle.
We have all talked about it.
We will engrave our names in this stone and have a death battle with the Liao.
So that if we have a drink in the netherworld,
we will be able to recognize each other. Won't we?
Generals, since both of you know
that in this battle, we surely will lose without an antidote.
Why then not withdraw out of Baishui City first
rather than making one's tombstone here?
Why go through all that trouble?
Since time immemorial, the hardest thing to do is to die.
The important thing is that you must die for something.
Being able to follow Chief Commander to fight in the battlefield is already glorious for us
even if we are to die.
We feel honored to be part of the Yang's Army.
These wounds were left by battles.
Every fight was a hard one.
That's nothing.
- Look at mine. - All of yours are nothing.
Look at mine. This was left during our attack of Liangzhou City.
My head then almost moved out too.
That Liangzhou battle was indeed splendid.
That time, there were arrows with fire all over the sky.
Everyone got scared when we saw that.
My legs got wobbly.
Do you know how it was then?
That time, it was our Chief Commander leading us all, charging in front all by himself.
Everyone followed Chief Commander, advancing dauntlessly in waves and waves.
Within one day, we were able to occupy the city.
That's right, no matter how dangerous the battle situation is,
Chief Commander never gave up.
He has bravery and strategy, righteousness and justice.
He is everyone's hero.
Being able to follow a Chief Commander like that, even if we die in battle,
we... will never regret it!
Advance and retreat with Chief Commander Yang!
We will put up a desperate struggle! Will never back down!
Advance and retreat with Chief Commander Yang!
We will put up a desperate struggle! Will never back down!
Advance and retreat with Chief Commander Yang!
We will put up a desperate struggle! Will never back down!
[The Young Warriors]
- Oldest Brother— - Have you seen it now?
This is the spirit of the Yang's Army.
If Father doesn't care about brotherly affection,
why would the soldiers willingly follow him to their death?
In one's lifetime, there are still a lot of things more important than one's life.
Everyone will die
but his spirit will live forever.
Father, I was wrong.
I thought that letting the soldiers withdraw from Baishui City
can save them and that thinking was for the good of the majority.
But I never thought that there is something more important than life.
I always thought Father was obstinate and did not care about the soldiers' life or death.
But today, when I saw them set up a funerary tablet for themselves,
and when I saw them take pride in their status as a Yang's Army soldier,
I suddenly realized that there is a limit to life,
but the spirit is eternal.
Father, I misunderstood you.
I apologize.
Slowly.
I know that you are not one who fears death.
You only want to preserve everyone's life.
And also, you are able to empathize with the troops.
This means that you are humane and you will be able to accomplish great deeds.
It's just that this battle is abnormal.
We are fighting with our patience and willpower.
Not until the very end,
will we know who will win.
- We must not give up. - Yes.
I understand.
If we retreat without attacking, then we will not only lose to the enemy, but also ourselves.
If the endurance of the people are shaken, then it will be very difficult to return to our current vigilance.
Your first battle and you are able to understand this much.
I am very happy. I am very happy.
Father, Father.
Don't worry. I will not die.
At the very least, my spirit will always be with you.
I haven't been able to drive the Liao people off our land,
so I cannot bear to die.
Father, you cannot die.
You have a lot of skills you haven't given to me yet.
You've matured.
Now you know how to coax me.
Father.
Mister Cui. Why must we light a large fire?
Don't we want to send the antidote powder into the city?
He is doing this in hopes that the fire will stir up wind.
Correct. As long as the fire is raging, the wind will come.
Light the fire.
[Song]
- Prince, issue the order. - Yes.
Mister Cui, you have divine strategy and a clever scheme.
You are not second to Zhuge Kongming's method of using the eastern wind. (to use anything that helps)
Very well. Let's use this eastern wind and send the antidote down the mountain.
I wonder if Father and they will know that the antidote has been sent,
and I wonder if they will know to inhale it immediately.
I will have a method to let them know.
Chief Commander. You cannot leave us.
Chief Commander. If you die,
I'm willing to die with you.
Father. You can't die. You promised me.
You promised that you would train me to be a great Commander like yourself.
Why is everyone crying?
Correct. Father will surely get better.
- Son One. - I'm here.
- Bring my Commander seal here. - Yes.
Kneel.
Son Five.
Take it.
Tell the city's citizens,
and soldiers.
Thank them for trusting me,
and for putting their lives in my care.
These past few days, the military and the citizens have been of one heart and worked together.
We have experienced everything together.
This relationship and love, I will remember it in my heart.
My son, Son Five, will act according to my orders,
inherit my position, continue to lead the Yang's Army,
and accompany everyone to hold on.
- Father! - Father!
When the enemy troops approach,
do not be afraid.
My sons will surely stand in front of you as shields, on my behalf.
They will be dauntless in attacking the enemy.
They will not leave nor give up.
They will die with you, or survive with you.
- Father. - Kneel.
Father.
Although I, Yang Ye, do not have the fortune
to fight alongside with you,
my spirit will surely surround you and
accompany you stand on the walls of Baishui City, and defend our home with you.
- Father. - Chief Commander.
Father, wake up.
- Chief Commander! - Chief Commander, wake up.
- Chief Commander. - Everyone, listen.
[Young Warriors]
The Song troops and Baishui City are both motionless.
Why have they suddenly blown the bugle horn?
Maybe the Song troops are playing a funeral song.
They're telling those that are trapped to prepare their burial rites.
General, could it be that the Song troops are purposefully disturbing our military vigor
so that's why they've blown the bugle horn?
It's not that simple.
Immediately send someone to investigate. Report back immediately.
Yes, General.
When the citizens of Baishui City hear the bugle horn, will they come out and look?
The people in the city feel anxious right now.
If there is any kind of movement, they will certainly come out and investigate.
Now that the bugle horn has sounded, they will certainly go out into the streets and look around.
If that is the case, then they will be able to inhale the antidote.
Their poisoning will then be completely healed.
Madam Yang is meticulous and intelligent.
Mister Cui lured the wind to send the medication,
and Madam Yang blows the horn to heal the sick.
This partnership is truly flawless.
It appears that the citizens of Baishui City will definitely be saved.
[Baishui City]
This is the sound of our Yang's Army's bugle horn.
Has Mother come with the reinforcements?
If the reinforcements are here, then we'll kill our way out
and coordinate external and internal offensives.
Very well. I will gather the troops.
I will prepare the weapons and we will fight the Liao people.
First, accompany me to the city tower and investigate the situation.
- Yes. - Yes.
What is this?
Father. You must hold on.
The reinforcements are almost here.
- Chief Commander. Chief Commander - Are the reinforcements here?
- No, not a single one. - None?
Son Six, look at us. Has our complexion changed?
You—
After we heard the bugle horn sound, everyone's complexion has improved.
The poison on our bodies seems to have disappeared. Isn't that correct?
- That doesn't seem possible. - It's true. It is too miraculous.
If you don't believe us, go out and look.
Son Six, come and look. Everyone is healed.
- Look. - What do you think?
- Over there. - Look there.
Brother, how are you feeling?
I feel like I'm completely healed. Everything is fine.
- And what about you? - I feel better, too.
My body doesn't hurt anymore either.
I'm completely healed.
- We're all healed. - Nothing is wrong anymore.
Everyone in the military camp is healed.
Everyone has suddenly been healed without an antidote.
- Son Six, do you feel better as well? - Yes.
Maybe, the Heavens have their eye on us.
The Bodhisattva has come down to us.
I think there must be a reason.
Son Six, why do you have so much white powder on you?
- Jiao Zan, look. You have more on your body. - Don't move.
It's an antidote powder.
The sound of the bugle horn?
Antidote powder?
I know.
This must be how Mother, Older Bro Four and the reinforcements are sending in the antidote - by wind.
This is the antidote to the poison.
Hurry and gather the troops. We need to collect the antidote powder.
- Hurry. - Very well, I'll do it now.
General Jiao, Father is unable to move.
How about we take the antidote powder from the trees and concoct a medicine for him?
Very well.
Everyone has inhaled the powder and everyone's poison has been dispersed.
- Father will surely recover. - Yes, he will.
Let Father rest. Let's go outside first.
Very well.
[The Government Office of Baishui City]
More than half of the entire camp has completely recovered.
Also, the morale is high.
These past few days, everyone has been badly stifled.
I hope that we can encounter the Liao troops as soon as possible,
in order to vent the anger in my heart.
We must strike while the iron is hot*. (* seize the opportunity at hand)
I suggest that, while the Liao troops believe that we are still poisoned and weak,
we attack them and see who is stronger. Let's fight them when they are unprepared.
It's only now that our troops have just recovered,
and the number of our troops in comparison to Yelü Xie's one hundred thousand men,
is widely disparate in strength. We can't act rashly.
That's correct. Baishui City's layout is flat, so we can use fire to attack.
But the Liao have numerous troops.
If we don't leave the city to attack,
it will be very difficult to make them retreat in one move.
If the reinforcement troops can coordinate with us, using a converging attack from the front and the rear,
our chance of success will be very high.
Oldest Bro, let me exit the city and notify the reinforcement troops.
Baishui City is completely surrounded by the Liao troops,
if you leave the city, you will certainly alert Yelü Xie.
If that happens, then Yelü Xie will be prepared for us.
Correct. If we do that, we will lose a very good opportunity.
- I suggest we use a smoke signal and coordinate with Mother on the external and internal offensives. - Very well.
As brothers, let's join together and fight for Father and avenge the citizens.
Very well.
