Episode 17
What is written here?
A crow is on a tree.
The silent has wet the flower.
Everyone forgot about the moon tonight.
No one know which family is having trouble.
And here it is mention that
the North is having a west wind now.
Crime and evils are every where.
People's life are not being protected.
There is only hates when they look at their country.
What is the meaning?
It's means...
the Jins are unjust.
They attacked innocent places
and kidnapped our people,
and they shut us over here
in a completely darkness.
We are not able to fill our stomach.
We are not able to warm ourself with clothes.
In this situation,
we are just like ordinary people
guilty of crimes.
Is this the way the Jins
treating their slave?
Then I have to ask you
What is the way the Jins have to treat their slaves?
To not been accused by others?
Master,
since you are asking me for help
I will have to ask you first,
is this a proper place for the Jins
to ask for help from someone?
This Qin Hui is special.
Sir Qin.
Please forgive me on my thoughtlessness.
I just prepared some simple dishes.
Sorry for that.
We can talk mean while having our meal.
Please...
Sir Qin.
This is...
I cannot have this...
Why?
Now my Emperor
is starving.
Me as a courtiers,
how could I
be having such a good meal at this time?
Fine.
Since I'm asking you for help,
then I will not be having this as well.
Sir Qin.
I would like to know,
why are you saying the Jins is unjust
and attacked innocent places?
In the war
between Song and Jin,
Jin had taken
the wrong steps,
and make continuous mistake.
We have to clear
the border of 2 opposing forces.
Thing should be at peace.
After all the dynasty of Zhao and Song,
the merit
are much better than Han and Tang dynasty.
But Jin had attacked in a sudden.
This is unjust.
Attack innocent place.
You have come abroad.
Spoilt the rules.
This is the first.
Back off.
You can continue
When Jin is trying start a war,
do you ever think,
in Song
we have such a big place.
How many army and horses?
Or how many days you will have to spend
to take down the country?
Furthermore, in Song Dynasty,
we still have our good men
to fight till the death.
So how is Jin
going to fight in the coming days
to win the merit?
We were at peace for years.
But now we have opposition.
Wars are every where.
How could we going to settle things up?
This is the second mistake.
You may continue.
To keep Song,
the Jins had crown Zhang Bangchang as a puppet emperor.
But he is not from Zhao
and he is not of royal blood.
If he's really being crowned,
how could he served the people?
You were thinking that you can pacify the people.
But you are doing the opposite.
And lastly, he will have to commit suicide.
This is the biggest mistake ever!
So from your opinion,
what do I have to do for Jin and Song?
And
to bring peace to the world
and have better prosperity?
Both sides will be hurt if it involved a war
and peoples are suffering.
Then just tell me.
What is the best way?
Develop harmony and unity
and enjoy the result.
Develop harmony and unity
and enjoy the result?
Fine.
I do have the same thinking too
But,
my General is taking the lead.
He's thinking by forcing power, we will rule the world.
Emperor is not listening to me too.
Could you please let me try?
Empress.
They are here.
2nd Prince, please wait
Please master be kind
and give us some clothes.
Otherwise, no one will be able
to live through in this winter.
Please Master.
Please Empress.
I'm trying to settle it.
Thank you, Master.
Let's go.
General.
You are looking for me?
Send the orders
to catch all the criminals.
Here is the list.
You take a look.
General, you want me to proceed this?
There is a name here you have to be careful off.
Who is it?
Liang Zaiping.
When we are in war.
He had run away
and should be beheaded.
Liang Zaiping
is the brother of Liang Hongyu.
Now the emperor has ordered
us to handle this case.
I think there is some other motives.
Liang Zaiping is now
working in the army of Han Shizhong.
If we offend General Han
in the progress of catching,
we will be in trouble.
Your skill
and attitude
are good.
But I'm afraid you are young
and cannot hold your temper.
General, please don't worry.
I will handle this beautifully.
Good.
You may go ahead.
Reporting to the General.
Yue Fei request to meet with you.
Meeting General Han.
Fine.
Why are you here today?
I was ordered by the General
to ask for a person from General Han.
Who is it?
Liang Zaiping.
Liang Zaiping is my men.
Why do you want him?
This is the order from the emperor to catch the criminals.
Please take a look General Han.
That time when
the Jins come to the southern.
We have lost Bianjing.
Song's army had collapsed.
He was able to escape.
He had no place to go,
so he return to his hometown.
This is not consider as a desertion.
Yue Fei.
Go back and inform the General,
I'm just someone who know how to fight.
About this matter of conviction,
it has to be decided by the imperial court.
I'm just following orders.
Please don't trouble me.
Do you know,
it is not easy
to take someone from me.
Come.
Line up.
I've heard about your skill long time ago.
If today
you are able to break my line,
you can take
the man away.
Sword is the top among all the weapons.
Show it, it's weak.
Open it, it's sharp..
Prepare to attack,
and lead the attack.
Tease, pick, thorn, wipe.
Follow the strength
and find the way to attack.
The line of the sword,
come from a miracle fighters.
But it is actually all just a ploy.
Just use a simple sword line
and practice it with a few persons at a same time,
and keep their enemy in the middle.
The line will keep moving
and attack at the same time.
Completely no mistake.
And powerful.
Every unique sword line,
it can fight with thousands of soldiers.
Sifu.
How to break this line?
All the sword line
must have the strength and weakness.
Sure the is a mistake is in it.
Remember.
Concentrate,
and don't be confused by it.
Look at the strategy.
Lock it's power.
And when the time come.
Break it!
General.
Let's talk in the camp.
Come.
Drink this.
Yue Fei.
You've come to my camp to get a man
and he is my brother-in-law.
This is something new
in my camp.
I was
trying to trouble you.
But you
are able to break my line.
I'm respect your skill and courage.
About Liang Zaiping,
I would like to beg on behalf of him.
Now the situation
is not stable.
The Imperial court is lacking of manpower.
Liang Zaiping is my best man.
I would like you to do me a favor.
Let him go.
General Han.
I cannot make any decision.
I'm just following orders.
Every where is in a mess.
The decree is not working good.
Why should it involve me?
I've heard the General
is having a big plan in the north.
What is the advantage?
If he's trying to trouble me at this time?
I've heard
all the armies are having a large amount of soldiers
and all of them are not following orders.
After changing the emperor,
the rules are spoilt.
General Han you are righteousness.
If you can lead the situation,
we'll not afraid that the plan will not work.
It sound so similar with the General's.
He is the one who teach you,
or did you figure it out by yourself.
to come and fool me?
I dare not talk nonsense.
We never have any
humiliation
before Jing Kang.
All the men who have guts,
should have the heart to
welcome the second new owner.
Otherwise,
how are we going to live here?
General, no need to trouble him anymore.
Since I'm faithful to the imperial court
and we are not unreasonable person.
Even if Zaiping is Hongyu's brother,
she will never be confused between the general and the private matters.
Hongyu.
But 3 generation of your family
suffered distress because of the law.
Furthermore,
Zaiping is the only son in the Liang's Family.
How could I
see the Liang's Family line end here.
If we are doing the right things,
the ancestors of the Liangs, will
feel proud of us.
Thank you, General Han and Madam Han
for your understanding.
After I go back,
I will surely report the truth to General,
and beg on behalf of Commander Liang,
to ask for a lighter punishment.
Ask for Commander Liang.
Yes.
General Han.
I'm sorry.
This is to apologies.
Wait...
Forget it, forget it.
Since I'm in the team,
I'm used to seeing death.
But now
I'm still not able to run away from love.
Yue Fei.
We are fighting with people like the Jins.
No many of us will stay alive.
Now me and my wife
may leave Zai Ping,
and we may leave you too.
Come.
Yes.
Give me a drink.
A good one.
Yes.
Come, brother.
Drink this
and consider this as a farewell gesture.
Thank you General Han.
Good!
This is my first time
to taste such a good wine.
No need to wear this
Don't worry Madam Han.
I will tell the truth
about Liang Zaiping when I return to the camp,
to the General.
The General will surely handle it very well.
Thank you.
General.
Sister.
If I'm not able to come back,
please help me
to kill some more Jins,
and chase the Jins out from our hometown.
Brother Yue is back.
Sorry for you.
Commander Liang is here.
Brother Yue.
Really not easy
for you to slip over with death.
Because of your guidance.
This lock is
lock by Madam Han herself.
Will pass him to the court.
Good!
Come.
Take him.
Just because of you.
If some one else,
I think we'll not have such a good result.
This is a long story.
I have something
that I have to inform the General personally.
Fine.
You want me to combine
all loyal men from the western and eastern side.
I've think about it.
Why?
Li Xiang came?
They are fighting when they meet each other.
It is getting worst.
The General cannot take it.
It is just hurting himself.
Yeah.
But will they listen to us?
It will cause bad result soon.
Why fight?
What are they fighting for?
Still the same old problem.
General wants to attack on the north side
and Li Xiang wants to keep still.
No one can pursue them.
Actually, we have need to fight for this.
As an army,
to attack or not to attack,
we still have to go forward to the north.
And as an imperial officer,
to hold or not to hold,
we still have to hold it.
Each one is having different responsibility.
That's why their opinion is different.
Now, our forage
is not enough for the imperial court.
From where shall I find you a 120 thousand?
If you are not going to find food for us,
what shall I take to the north?
We'll have to plan for this.
Do we still have the time for this?
Look at the defending wall.
The Jin's flag is coming over here soon.
General.
Don't be in a hurry.
We are not weak too.
If the Jins would like to take over Bianjing,
it is not that easy.
Now they're having a strong spirit,
it is too dangerous for us to take the risk.
I think we are better observed the situation first.
And when the time come,
we'll take the safe step from Yan and Zhao.
The 2 emperors
are slowly entering the cold land.
If we are still thinking of stability
and take action slowly.
Sooner or later,
Song will be destroyed.
General.
Be careful of your words.
I know you don't dare to say it.
But don't you worry about it?
Do you want our emperor
to be humiliated by the Jins?
I understand.
I've pass so many reports,
but Emperor just return it with a few words.
"Just observe the situation..."
"Cannot simply take action..."
And...
"Think of the important..."
and "don't take the first move..."
Actually all of this came out from you!
So what if I'm the one to say t?
I know,
you are trying very hard
to persuades the Emperor not to attack the North.
If I don't understand you,
I will be treating you
as if treating the Jins.
General.
You are not understand my heart.
So many years we're at war,
where is all the money?
Have we succeeded yet?
How long we'll be staying in Jing?
If the Northern attack is not a success,
the Jin's people will rush over here.
How far can we run?
If you do not take the action,
how do you know we cannot do it?
Afraid of this,
and afraid of that.
You are making the army confused.
And you are still the most senior of all!
To win a war, we have to calculate it right.
If not
then we'll lose everything
and make the people suffer.
Calculate.
Don't talk about calculations.
Don't know how to calculate,
and is not good in calculation.
Calculate! Calculate!
All day long.
You just go ahead.
But I will tell you one thing.
If I'm alive,
all the loyal army will be able to collect 100 thousand.
If I close my eye
and die,
all the army will be falling apart.
Leaving all the mess.
You have a too high estimate of yourself.
the young will practice it better.
Really?
You lie down.
No need to worry.
There are so many youth
that can lead the northern fight.
You let me see.
Where is the team?
Where is the forage?
Where is all the loyal man from the north and south?
Still the same words.
Waiting for orders.
Slowly take action.
Fine, fine.
Slowly means no need to take action!
Li Gang, Li Gang.
You must be afraid of the Jins.
Look at you, such a coward.
The Song dynasty still have to hope to return to the capital?
Still hope to get back their land?
What are they hoping for?
General.
Come.
Drink a bit of water.
Come.
General.
Drink a bit of water.
Brother is back.
Brother.
How was the trip?
The couple of Han Shizhong is so righteousness.
But Liang Zaiping
was being accused.
I've informed the General.
General had mentioned
to seek justice for Liang Zaiping.
But...
But what?
But the
General had passed 24 reports.
Some had been stopped by Li Gang.
Some had been stopped by Wang Boyan,
and some were return by the Emperor.
The General's health is getting worst
and he is getting old.
If it continue like this,
he might not be able to hold it.
Could we think of a way
to help him?
But we are not in a high position.
We're not able to help much.
I have an idea.
The General take the lead
and we'll follow him from the back,
and give an unexpected idea
to deal with it.
How could we do that?
I think it is not suitable.
When in Gui De,
Emperor had talked with me
and ask me to get more reply from the people,
and write to him the reports.
I was thinking,
can I just pass him a letter
and send him the opinions from his peoples?
Good! Brother.
You write it.
I will rush
to send the letter to the Emperor's hand.
That time,
when he is not being crowned,
He said like that,
because of a thought.
But now, he is the Emperor.
You all think about it.
A fighter give a letter to Emperor?
Follow the protocols.
Something is so weird.
Don't care whether it's weird or not
The most important is the truth
Now, now one beside him is telling the truth.
He is now
being trapped by Wang Boyan.
Maybe something has improved.
What an insight!
If I was being bullied,
I will be the first to quit!
Yes.
If the Emperor is blaming us,
what should we do?
Since my army is still in a strong morale,
the Jins will scared of them.
But if the imperial court keep on delaying,
helping others and harm our self.
If we continue like this,
our military will be spoilt.
Don't care about weird or not,
just write it.
Emperor has entered the palace.
The country is having a head
and there is a man to lead.
Both sides are going weak now.
We should take action before it's too late.
Winter is coming.
The 2 Emperors are in jail
and can't see the light.
So many peoples
are not able to fill their hunger,
and have not enough clothes to cover themselves.
So much suffering.
Emperor.
Bianjing send this hurry from 800 miles away.
So this is a letter from Yue Fei to the Emperor.
But,
how could he send this letter?
Is he in trouble?
Or does he need me to help him?
Come.
Read it.
Yes.
Emperor has enter the palace.
The country is having a head.
It is already enough to attack the Jins in the North.
Now,
the General is having strong morale,
and the army is still strong.
The Jins thought that we are weak
and cannot fight them.
We should take action to attack them.
You think Yue Fei,
he is learning fast
from the General.
The style of speak is so similar.
And Li Gang,
Wang Boyan...
Continue.
And Li Gang,
Wang Boyan,
cannot follow your order
to get the 2 Emperors,
and ride to the South.
Furthermore, order Chang'an, Huai Yang
to prepare for inspection.
They are making temporary decisions.
Not providing long term solutions.
They may not be the hope of the country,
even if they are imperial's officers.
But have no merits
and is not able to make any success.
They are making temporary decisions.
Not providing long term solutions.
Don't he
mentioned about both of you?
The solution now?
Don't take any ride to the capital.
Stop the inspection.
Now the 2 Emperors is not returned yet,
we should take the risk.
Lead the army.
Head to the North.
Now,
we're good and have a strong morale.
The General and commanders are in line.
The Army is strong.
The land of ours
will come back to us.
This is not the letter from Yue Fei.
This is a letter from the General.
Lead the army.
Head to the North.
Such wordings.
So hard feeling.
Even if the General write it himself,
it will not as good as Yue Fei's.
He said we are not following the order,
and cannot stay in the land.
Who can make it?
Or the dumb Zong Ze?
Can he?
Li Gang.
What do you think about this letter?
I'm not him.
How I would know what is in his mind.
I'm just asking for
a place to stand myself.
If I destroy my reputation,
this is not as Yue Fei who
can segregate it...
Yue Fei, he is just a fighter.
He is so daring to humiliate an officer.
If it continue like this,
with accusations everywhere.
We'll not be having any good day then...
