Episode 33
That day,
Miao and Liu, the usurpers can
Kill Wang Yuan and Kang Lu in front of me.
Put me out of the palace.
Can't say that
Han Shizhong and Yue Fei
won't commit the same thing one day,
and doomed me eternally
Fathers' teaching
are all in my mind.
The Generals defeated the country.
This worry is not without reason.
The Miao and Liu's incident is still a pain.
Han Shizhong,
Liu Guangshi, and Yue Fei,
those ministers have a large number of troops.
Can make all the people in the court
response to them.
Their prestige is increasing.
Now, I'm afraid that even as the Emperor,
I also can't get a move on them.
It's presumptuous.
Don't say that even if a general,
which traitor minister in the court I shall not kill?
Emperor.
When Miao Liu's incident happened,
Han Shizhong came to the front as an example.
To save the emperor in danger.
The Jins
sent their soldiers to the border, directly to Jiankang.
They look as fiercely as a tiger, to kill all
Now our Song's foundation
is shaking and crumbling,
it is a time to use the people.
So
whether it is reasonable or what circumstances, we shall not kill.
Could it be said that I can only see that
a few rash persons break into my palace
to take my throne,
and also ruined my country.
The Miao and Liu's incident is still a pain.
I'm always afraid that how to deal with it.
Don't be rash, emperor.
This memorial is only for those
General's with a rash impulse.
Also did not form the climate.
It has not yet been uncontrolled
Stand up to speak.
Yes.
In your opinion,
how to prevent trouble before it happens?
Han Shizhong, Liu Guangshi,
Zhang Jun has merits in guarding the Emperor.
Now they also got promoted by the emperor.
The People all praised the emperor as most humane.
The civil and military officials in the court,
they also have seen
your loving heart.
So they don't dare to do anything.
Don't dare to do?
Han Shizhong and Yue Fei even wrote 20 petitions.
More than 20.
Isn't it obvious, it's to embarrass me.
Let the world see my joke.
A wise man should size up the situation.
Han Shizhong, those ministers,
have no anti heart sentiment.
and they can be used by the state.
Also hope the Emperor,
please keep them.
Isn't that doing appeasement, and bring a disaster?
Emperor.
In the Warring States period,
Zhao and Yan was at war,
Yan's lobbyists, Su Dai,
has spoken to Prince Zhao Hui, some words.
Is a story that the third party will benefits from the tussle.
His purpose is to suggest to Prince Hui,
that if two countries fight,
to the disadvantages of the public,
the strong Qin must be the one who gets the benefit.
After listening,
Prince Hui was very glad.
Not only he did not punish him.
He also immediately stopped the protracted war with Yan.
Emperor.
If you want to make the country safe,
you must do this with a third party.
Put out the bait.
Let those people bite each other.
When they cause destruction to both sides.
Emperor.
You can easily
put out the nets.
Officer Qin.
Now I'm in a domestic trouble and facing a foreign invasion.
Inside,
the generals were stab deep in the back.
Outside,
the Jins is looking at Song as fiercely as a tiger does.
You tell me,
how can I have a day of peace?
Emperor.
I have an idea
to solve emperor's worries.
Quickly say it out.
Agree to the peace negotiations with the Jins.
Cut the title of an emperor.
Reduced to be a Jin vassal.
So it can be obtained by yourself.
All the civil and military officers,
all said that you're a lackey of the Jins!
It is really true!
Emperor.
This is just to hide our capacities and bide our time.
Now the world is uncertain.
Not all the people are subordinated.
Instead of doing a life-and-death struggle,
why not go for a long term plan?
That year
Han's Emperor, Liu Bang was retiring in Guanzhong.
Finally got the world.
This time, although the Jins is rampant,
but after a year or so,
by then,
then come up a "Farewell to My Concubine".
Also unknown.
Emperor.
Please think twice.
I'm gone.
Jin Prince Marshal.
The emperor of Song write a letter to the Chief commander.
The previous letter has been sent.
The request at the imminence moment.
Forth Prince, please take a pity on us.
General Du.
Yue Fei is back.
How's it going?
Did he approve the request of grain?
Han Shizhong didn't give him face.
Yue Fei,
does not know the practice.
It's the right time to have a cold-shoulder treatment.
General Du.
What shall we do?
Since the time of a life-and-death struggle is reached.
We don't await our doom.
Learn to save ourselves.
Also leave yourself an exit.
Yes.
General Du.
I have my own arrangements.
Hamichi coming today.
You go to meet him.
After the meeting,
you tell him
of Jiankang city's situation,
and what's on our mind.
Do you understand?
Understand.
Go.
Yes.
The emperor and General Du, are all expecting
a peace of the land.
It's appropriate that Jin and Song can be at peace.
That's easy.
There is another thing.
In the future we are a family.
We don't deserve your gold and silver.
General Wang is so polite.
General Wang is now famous in General Du's eyes.
One word from you,
is better than ten words from others.
You have overstated.
At present, we are all working for our masters.
Good job and get promotion.
If not good,
this head on the shoulder
will be out uncertain in any day.
They only know of our up front benefits.
Who knows we have to work hard secretly.
General Wang is right,
So we should unite,
to do this nicely for our master.
Come.
Is there any change on the thing that
General Du and the Forth Prince had discussed?
All comply with the decree.
Let your troops attack the city from Majia.
All the mountain passes will be undefended.
I tell you the truth.
The Forth Prince has decided to attack Yi Zhu Tian.
There will be a battle in Yi Zhu Tian.
But let me talk about
Jiankang city first.
From what I know,
Emperor Zhao had took the most elite military
to come to the defense.
The Forth Prince really knows all the information.
The whole Jiankang city
is all defended by Yue Fei's military.
It seems you have guarded against us for long time.
You have overstated.
The emperor had said
General Du will take all the responsibility for Jiankang's defense.
Yue Fei and those generals
are only the pawns of General Du.
Our emperor assured Jin's emperor and the Forth Prince.
In order to keep safety, our Song Dynasty will
lower our banners and muffle our drums.
Willing to concede to the Jins.
That is the word.
But, the emperor have not given his word yet.
What is this?
A letter written by our emperor himself.
Must be sent to you.
Crown prince.
A game of chess with different opponents,
will has a different outcomes.
The lower only can move two or three steps,
while the higher can consider the overall situation
to the trend.
Not caring too much on a a bit of gaining or losing.
But the lower,
they fight for every inch of the land.
Although they made the effort,
but eventually, can't escape defeat also.
Forth Prince.
I just came back from Jiankang.
Wait.
This chess is as the march to a war.
Seize the chance and go on.
Defeat their opponent by a surprise move is the magic weapon.
General.
Forth Prince.
You lost.
Crown prince.
You lost.
Lost.
It's the third time you retracted a false move in a chess game.
How absurd are you?
Can't I retract a false move in a chess game one more time?
It isn't a child's play.
Every step must be pass over in your mind.
The impulse of the moment,
dropping a wrong move, will be encounter in the game.
Forth Prince.
You should firmly remember,
this move cannot be retracted.
No retraction.
This is the way you cheat children.
I am Jin's Forth Prince.
A general which lead a powerful army.
I can't even retract a little false move in a chess game?
I can't play better than you.
Do not play.
If it is on the battlefield,
if you are also so impulsive,
then you have fallen.
The thousands of troops,
if you can't control well on these little chess pieces,
how to command a powerful army?
Calculate all that you have done,
you can only be a soldier,
instead of being a general.
How can a chess game be so great?
Can you lead an army to battle?
You are too hasty.
Is those who are closely involved, who cannot see clearly.
The lookers-on, can see most of the game.
This reason of a chess game,
you also need to slowly realize.
Come.
You pick up these pieces first.
We will play again.
Yuwen Xuzhong.
You really don't put me in your eyes.
Some people play chess,
make the pieces fly
but is busy in error.
Some people play chess,
consider too much,
finally get over stretched.
There are also some people who play chess,
not until the last moment,
they never admit defeat.
See what can be done.
The path winds along the mountain ridges.
Then some people play chess,
just to see that the situation is wrong.
Throw all the soldiers.
Abandon the pieces and surrender.
Forth Prince.
What kind of person are you?
What kind of chess game you are playing?
It all depends on your last thought.
Bold.
In my Jin's court,
how can you, a song, talk a lot of nonsense?
Pull him down.
Wait.
Yuwen Xuzhong.
Let's play one more time.
Hamichi.
What are you doing here?
I have a letter here from the Emperor.
Read it.
Jin Prince Marshal,
the emperor of Song write a letter to the Chief commander.
The previous letter had been sent.
The request at the imminence moment
Forth Prince, please take a pity on us.
With the mercy of the Forth Prince,
please take the peace negotiations with Song in heart.
Forgive my momentary oversight,
for listen to false villain's calumny,
that provoked the conflict.
No more people to defend.
No more place to walk.
I'm indefinite on ordering.
Deeply worried about asking for trouble.
To make the national people and the army,
cannot enjoy the Forth Prince's mercy.
So thanks to the right of the commanded,
let off the old article.
Between the heaven and earth, all belong to the Jins.
And no two emperors.
I dare to ask the Forth Prince to develop your mercy.
To save all to me.
All the things,
I will remember and follow.
As the blood with the Union.
Pass on to all ages.
This is kindness.
Why this situation comes out?
Qi Han should be designated.
Millions mourning and pleading.
The emperor of Song, Zhao Gou.
It's your time to show off.
Forth Prince.
Do you really think,
this is written by the Song Emperor personally?
You tell me.
When playing chess,
need to be physically consistency.
No distraction.
Otherwise a step goes wrong.
A single careless move and the game is lost.
Forth Prince.
General.
Yuwen Xuzhong comes to apologize to the Forth Prince.
Yuwen Xuzhong.
Your words hurt me deeply.
Hope that I can get prince's pardon.
Don't you Hans often say that,
faithful words grate upon the ear.
Today sounds,
not only grate upon the ear,
but It also grate upon the heart.
But I think,
the words you said,
everyone is of an implied meaning
said by a great teacher.
Yuwen Xuzhong.
Thank you that you dare to say these words to me.
Every single word or phrase I have in mind,
the Forth Prince is so considerate of my pains.
I won't shrink from sacrifice.
You also can do so.
I, Jin Wu-Wu-Wu-Shu also can do.
Forth Prince.
Since ancient times, people who is brave but without any plans,
rarely get the world.
People who has plans but not personal loyalty,
rarely get the people's heart.
Why did Emperor Sui-Yang let his state perished?
Because he was so extravagant and excessive longitudinal.
Looking for a short-term desire.
But Li Shimin always cherish the people.
Treat the former officials well.
Can stay if they like.
And also can retire,
if they don't like.
So
the generals of Sui Dynasty felt grateful to Li.
Supported them wholehearted.
United assistant.
Common prosperity.
The one who gets people's heart can win the world.
Greedy on winning will only leads to the loss of the world.
This is the profound truth,
contains on the small board of chess.
Chinese wisdom is really extraordinary.
Since having the former precedent to follow,
why do you insist on Jiankang?
Now that the Southern Song Dynasty had just put down a rebellion,
Zhao Gou just wants peace.
You listen to his letter,
where got the stateliness of an emperor?
He is at this time recuperating and build up strength.
Lack in guarding.
But our Jin's army is strong.
And having the strength of collaboration from the inside.
Captured Jiankang for one time.
Isn't this getting a twofold results with half the effort?
Gao Zong has already sent Yue Fei to guard Jiankang.
And also with generals, such as Han Shi Zhong.
Support by coordinated action in Yangzhou.
It fully shows the head of guard.
At this time, we must not act rashly and blindly,
to avoid getting into deep pools,
inextricably bogging down.
Do you want to tell me again,
the old saying of winning the people, by virtue of yourself?
Virtue is the country's fundamental.
Gao Zong's head of the negotiate peace.
Why do you want to resort to force?
The people are plunged into an abyss of misery.
You remember,
I learned the Hans culture
with you, various kind of Hans.
But the blood flowing inside my body
would never change.
In my opinion
there is no peace for safety reason.
Everything in the world is all living creatures.
Only I can conquer.
You are the same.
General Du.
How are you getting along?
The goods is on board.
As long as you give the command.
Tonight I can withdraw.
Good.
You must be circumspect.
Don't have any slightest omission.
Understand.
Reporting.
General Yue is here.
Let him in.
Yes.
General Du.
Then I go back.
Seen General Du.
Have you received the report of army.
Received.
I'm here for this.
The Jin had reached Yi Zhu Tian.
If they cross the river from there,
they can reach Jiankang in a few days.
The enemy is stronger than us.
At that time,
it's not easy to keep Jiankang.
I think
the Jins is going all out before going to the south,
just because our army guards are demoralized.
Fleeing.
Hiding.
Only a little stubborn resistance.
As long as the general can send the troops,
we can keep Yi Zhu Tian. With this natural barrier
the Jins may not be able to attack Jiankang.
We should defend against the enemy, out to north of the river,
rather than be besieged in the city in the future.
All right.
We have thought in the same way.
Yi Zhu Tian is a natural barrier. Easily defensible but hard to attack.
If we stay at here,
we can stop the Jins in the north of the river.
Yue Fei is willing to take this task.
Although you have the courage,
your battle experience is less.
Yue Fei would like to set a military order.
If I let one Jin go across the river,
I will take the military disposal.
You have overstated.
General Yue's ambition is commendable gratifying.
But in the things,
not only relates to personal life and death,
but relates to the survival of the country,
not all by yourself.
I'm thinking like this.
General Han is the best one.
For the battle fought on the water.
If you can get him to help,
the odds will increased.
I think,
you have a good relationship with him.
Just be hard at this time.
Please go to ask for General Han's support.
It's a military emergency.
Please be sure to make it known to General Han.
Yes.
How is it?
Big Brother.
The name of Du,
is he going to sneak out?
No.
He said to fight with the Jins.
Also want me to go to General Han for assistance.
This is rare.
Haven't heard that he is going to fight.
This is what he gave me.
According to big brother views,
is there any conspiracy in this case?
There must be something.
But
I don't know what he wants.
Big Brother.
Regarding the troops assistance,
I'll go with you.
I'm afraid he will ambushed you on the way,
and kill you.
That won't happen.
Just depends on his men.
Won't take my life.
This trip,
I have to go.
Wang Gui.
Big Brother.
Fu Qing.
You stay at Jiankang.
Send someone to the Rear Mansion inquire about it.
Yes.
Zhang Xian, Niu Gao.
You come with me.
Yes.
Officer.
We lived well in Wuguo city.
Now back to follow the emperor, escaping everywhere.
Why bother?
Or we go out to welcome
the Forth Prince's when his military reached us.
Now is still not the right time.
Still not.
All the people are saying that we are Jins spies.
If the emperor is driven into a corner one day,
He will pull people to die with him.
He shall also take you along.
I know.
It's certainly not good to follow the emperor as he ran,
but if we're going to the Jins,
we should also have a good reason.
If one day the emperor have a good footing,
You also don't want us to still live in their tents,
after we go back to the Jins in the future.
Yes.
However,
what is a good reason?
Do you know what the emperor wants the most?
The emperor want the Jins to retreat.
You're right.
The emperor wants the Jins to retreat,
but also doesn't trust that the Song's soldiers,
can beat those people.
What to do?
Make peace.
If the emperor can send me to make peace,
we
no longer have to follow the emperor to run.
That day, at the Yellow River,
you write to the throne.
Said that you are able to stop the Jins.
At least one year to stop them.
Therefore also sacrificed so many people's life.
Now in less than a few months,
Jiankang is on the rocks.
What do you say?
Qin Hui.
Don't you always have ideas?
Today, why don't you say it.
Reporting to the emperor.
The Jins has full confidence on taking Song's territory.
Because of the breaching of the dike,
people are affected seriously on both sides of the Yellow River.
The people and soldiers are very slack.
Now the Jin's offensive in the south is unabated.
So it's a reasonable thing that
Jiankang is on the rocks.
Officer Qin is right.
This is reasonable.
How can your reasonable speech help me?
I want an effective way.
Emperor, please calm down.
Now General Han,
and General Du's army are in resistance to the Jins.
Should not loss in a short time.
Winter has passed.
Spring returns to the earth.
The South's humid climate,
is not conducive to Jins in the south.
If they continue southward,
their attack will slow down.
In my opinion,
why don't we have a delaying tactic.
Make peace with the Jins.
Make peace?
Yes.
In this way, we can
delay the Jins southward offensive,
and get a temporary moment of peace.
Although this approach is very good,
but the people who served as an envoy abroad,
will meet lots of danger.
Who is willing to do so?
This is not easy.
The way to Jin is really dangerous.
Be fraught with grim possibilities.
If the emperor can trust me,
I'm willing to take on this responsibility.
I can rest assured
when you say so.
I will leave it to you to do so.
Yes.
General.
You've got more and more scars.
Man on the battlefield in killing enemy,
if no scars, that will be strange.
This just hurt your arm.
If it hurt other vital part,
it will....
I'm lucky.
Won't die.
Even the fortune teller said so.
I can accompany you to be ninety-nine.
Hongyu,
with you
with Yan'er,
I'll be careful.
Reporting.
General.
Yue Fei is here.
Come in please.
Yes.
Then I'm gone.
Brother.
Long time no see.
Greeting General Han.
General Han you got hurt.
Minor injuries.
Not worth bothering about it.
Please.
Yesterday,
met their armored army.
Their armored army is also really sharp.
Our Han's army suffered heavily and lost a lot.
Recently, I'm looking for a method to attack the Iron Pagodas.
I will mutual exchange needed products with General Han.
Very good.
Although I can't be in the fight with the Iron Pagodas,
but the flowing water fight is my strength.
I'm here for troops.
When the Jins can't move southward but go back to north,
I will block them here.
Good.
If then you need my reinforcement,
please say so.
General Han.
Yue Fei this time come to you for troop.
This is the letter of General Du.
General Han.
The pains of the land cannot be abandoned.
Moreover, Jiankang is Jiangnan's gateway.
Once this portal is gone,
we will lost the whole of Jiangnan.
Jiankang is on the rocks.
Du Chong not only cannot escape,
but also invited me to fight the Jins.
And let you ask troops from me at this time.
It's to lure the enemy away from his base.
What do you mean?
Brother.
Don't you see Du Chang's personality?
The Jins want to attack Jiankang, and
the biggest obstacle is your army.
This time he let you come to me for troops.
It's clearly that is to lure you from his base.
Want the Jins to enter the city.
Damn.
I see.
What fucking shit is Du Chong!
It is poisonous.
Thanks for General Han's reminder.
It seems that Yue Fei had to go back to Jiankang.
Everyone knows that Yue Fei,
has always been known to change on the military tactics.
In fact, on strategy,
still can't compete with General Du.
This boy is slow-witted.
Once the Jins enter in,
he is afraid of his last ditch.
And there will be many innocent people to die.
But this is my act of kindness.
Yes.
General Du always think about the safety of the people first.
How are you getting along?
Everything's ready.
Good.
Tonight, we will leave at 3-5 am.
Yes.
General Wang.
General Yang.
We have known that General Du will leave at 3-5 am tonight.
Ok.
You can go.
Yes.
Damn.
I know this Du can't change his temper.
What to do?
Brother Yue is on the way back now.
Now it seems that,
we can only try to stall him.
Good.
Stop.
Take a look.
Go.
Who is defending the city?
General Wang.
We have military intelligence.
This few days, the ins may come to attack.
So General Yue sent me to strengthen the guards.
Ok.
Give me the spirit.
General Du.
The gate is full of people.
I command.
Let them stand down.
Yes.
General Du has made an order.
Let you stand down immediately
or be dispose by military's rule.
General Wang.
We are following the order of General Yue.
and stay here to defend.
Even if we need to withdraw,
we also need the order of General Yue.
That's more secured.
How dare you?
I let you stand down immediately.
If you still don't withdraw,
I will cut off your head, do you believe it?
How dare you?
General Wang.
General Wang, please be peaceful.
Wang Gui.
You are on guard.
The sword is without eyes.
It should be used to deal with the Jins.
Stand down.
I was sent to
let you withdraw immediately.
General Wang.
The military have an emergency in front.
Strengthening the guards is a common thing.
I do not know why General Du does not keep it, but withdraw instead.
I just said that,
I was sent.
If you don't believe me,
why don't you go to appeal to General Du?
You have overstated.
Come.
Yes.
The order.
All the defenders withdraw.
Yes.
Wang Gui.
Thanks.
Withdraw.
