Hurry! Hurry! Go!
My Lord! My Lord!
Good timing. Come on. Let’s go.
Come on. Follow me.
Attack!
Xiahou Ying.
Yes.
Protect Mr. Zhang. Guys, if we survive this crisis, let's meet in Xiemapo.
Otherwise I’ll see you in my next life.
Fight!
Fight them!
Attack!
Mr. Zhang, hurry.
Mr Zhang, leave! Leave now!
We're both heroes. Why make things difficult for each other?
Liu Ji, I owe you nothing from now on.
Where should we hide? Hurry. Follow them.
-Run! -Help!
Hide here. Stay-- Stay here.
-You. Over there. -Yes.
Help! Spare me. Spare me!
I’m also from Chu. I--
Mr. Wei.
Darling, what’s happening?
You joined the Chu warriors?
No. No. No. I’m in a dream. I’m dreaming. This is a dream.
Mr. Wei. Give Mr. Wei an armor.
-Yes, come with us. -Let’s leave.
Darling.
Come on.
-Here, Mr. Wei. -Darling.
-This way, Mr Wei. -Darling. They are coming. Look.
Mr. Wei, this way. This way. Hurry.
Mr. Wei, this way. This way.
Darling, as a woman, costume play is really your forte!
Bypass Liu Ji’s men and march toward the North.
Darling, Liu Ji’s men will protect us.
They will not.
Darling. Darling. Go.
What’s wrong?
General, Xiang Yu has attacked Pengcheng from the East.
Now he has controlled the city.
That fast?
I don’t know the details.
Mr. Fan’s troops has also set off from Xiaozhen.
They bypassed our ambush in the South and attacked Pengcheng directly.
Xiaozhen? It's a long journey from Xiaozhen to Pengcheng,
It’s impossible for him to suddenly change course.
Mr. Fan must have known that Xiang Yu would attack from the East.
Did they agree on this previously?
They’ve not seen each other for months…
Chu warriors are gamblers.
In any case, now all vassals have been routed.
Please go back to save Liu Ji in Pengcheng.
General, why are you hesitating? Liu Ji is in danger.
My orders: Lay our defense in rings.
Cao Can must return from Shengou to Liyang to prevent
Chu warriors in Qi from attacking the West.
Yes. Are we not saving Pengcheng?
Go convey my orders, now.
But our Lord will be in danger.
The situation is unclear. We shouldn’t be rash and march East.
Or else, we’ll be attacked from the back, and the flank. Then we’ll all die.
But we can’t stay here either. Warriors of the six states are marching here.
Once we try to reorganize them, we may expose our weaknesses to our enemy.
Set up defense with a shield formation. Keep them away from our camp
If they dare to break our formation, kill them.
Yes.
Warriors are not to fight without my command. Violators shall… die!
Yes, sir.
Reporting! My King.
What’s the situation like?
The allied forces were routed. Most of them have surrendered.
Chen Yu has betrayed us, and is coming after us!
He’s looking for you.
My King, what should we do?
Chen Yu!
That wily rascal!
My King, at this point in time, I think we’d better surrender.
Say that again.
My King.
Say that again!
My King! My King!
My King.
Listen to me. I owe Liu Ji a debt of gratitude.
Anyone who dares to suggest surrendering will end up like him!
Yes.
My orders: Gather our warriors to join Han Xin.
My King! My King! My King!
My King!
Han Xin refuses to accept warriors from other vassal states.
They’ve set up a shield formation. Anyone who breaks through it will be killed.
We can’t get near him, my King.
What a rascal! He’s skilled at hitting us when we’re down.
My King, what should we do now?
We don't have a better choice now. Let’s go to Xingyang. Go to Xingyang.
We must stay alive. Nothing is more important than that now. Go to Xingyang.
Yes.
General, don’t be depressed. We’ve done our best. We didn’t expect that…
We didn’t expect Chu warriors to be still so powerful after walking such a long way?
Or was it unexpected for
tens of thousands of Chu warriors to defeat hundreds of thousands of ours?
Especially the Chu warriors led by Xiang Yu,
their valiance was beyond expectation.
I predicted when they would attack,
but wasn't able to foretell how they would attack.
Han Xin, you’re our general-in-chief. You should have predicted this.
My Lord,
I was too careless this time round. I was wrong.
My Lord, there aren't anymore Chu warriors giving chase.
Our warriors behind will send us a message if they find Chu warriors.
Right.
Our defeat was a real shame. So was our retreat.
All in all, it’s a shame I can’t tolerate.
Han Xin is at fault. He had all the troops to deploy.
I thought he could be a big help.
But look what's happened? He couldn't even fight off the Chu warriors.
If it were me, I could at least hold off our enemy for a while.
Enough. Enough of this. It’s not his fault.
He reminded me, but I didn’t take his advice.
I shouldn’t have taken Xiang Yu so lightly.
You mean we shouldn’t blame him? But he didn’t keep Chu warriors out!
I’ve told you it’s not his fault!
It’s my fault! It has nothing to do with him.
My Lord, you’re showing favoritism towards Han Xin.
Damn right you are!
Enough! Never talk about this again.
Alright, I want to rest.
Shen Yiji, how long until we arrive at Pengcheng?
Princess, you miss your father?
Nope. We're looking forward to going home after we see our father.
The one she misses is her playmate.
Stop being cheeky.
How long until we arrive?
Madam, Pengcheng is right ahead of us. We’ll arrive at mealtime.
Should we check on Liu Ji’s father?
The road is so bumpy. I'm worried about him.
He’s criticizing Wang Ling. I think he has forgotten all about his exhaustion.
-Madam. -What’s wrong?
We may have lost Pengcheng.
Bad news. We're in trouble.
-Calm down. Tell me what happened. -Madam, look. These are Mr. Wei's men.
They are routed. We're lost Pengcheng.
Then what should we do?
Some of them are our warriors.
Stop. What happened?
We lost Pengcheng. Xiang Yu’s warriors are running after us.
Take care of Madam!
Get out of my way!
-Take care of Madam! -Madam!
Hurry. Hurry! Follow me. Let’s go.
Madam! Madam!
-Are you alright, Madam? -I’m fine.
Madam.
Get out of my way. It’s my carriage!
-It’s mine! Get out! -Mine, give it to me…
-Father! -I’ll come back to look for him.
My children!
Madam, are you alright? Madam.
Children! Where are my children?
I'm to be blamed. I’ll go to look for them.
-Hurry! -Yes.
Hurry!
Get out!
Children. Get up, hurry!
Give it to me!
Hands off!
Get out of here!
-Are you alright? -I’m fine.
Hurry. Go away! Go!
Have some water.
Leave me alone. Hurry and find my grandchildren.
Mr. Liu, with the confusion and fighting, they might have lost their way.
We must find them.
-If you don’t go, I will. -You can't.
Father, you can’t. You can’t. We shouldn’t go.
They are the future of our clan.
Father, everything is in chaos.
Liu Ji has experienced a setback on the battlefield.
If we act rashly to rescue the children,
we may not find them, and may bring trouble to Liu Ji.
Then what should we do?
Xiaoxian, when you parted with Wang Ling, was he with the two children?
Yes. Wang Ling is with them.
I'll put my mind to rest then.
Wang Ling was once a valiant general.
I think our children will be much safer with him.
It's so chaotic now, we shouldn’t be heading towards Pengcheng.
But, Madam, with the turmoil of war, is there any place that's actually safe?
-Father. -Yes.
Let’s go back to Fengyi.
Fengyi? Alright, let’s go back there.
General, our Lord is still in the city. Issue an order to rescue him.
Chu warriors are powerful. Any delay would result in our Lord being killed.
Cao Can, where should you be right now? Zhou Bo, didn’t you tell him?
General, you need not go there yourself.
If you can dispatch a small group of men, I can lead them to save our Lord.
Tighter.
I’ll give no warriors to you.
General, if you won't save our Lord, we will.
Even if you refuse to dispatch anyone, we’ll still go ahead. Let’s go.
Guards!
-Stop. Don’t move. -Stop. Stop.
General, what are you trying to do?
If you act rashly, you might be killed.
Then even if Liu Ji is saved ,he’ll have no generals to help him, understand?
I hope you can forgive me.
Our 500,000 warriors are lost.
Their 30,000 warriors…
gave our 500,000 warriors a crushing defeat.
I should be blamed. I’m not a good leader.
I failed my warriors.
I thought Xiang Yu would be stuck in Qi and couldn’t return to Pengcheng.
I underestimated him.
I deserve this failure.
My Lord, you need not blame yourself.
You gave all warriors to Han Xin.
and the warriors of other vassal states were too timid.
You need not comfort me. I am aware…
that I should indeed be blamed.
I was too complacent.
I figured we suffered for years and we should be able to relax.
I didn’t imagine that would lead to our defeat.
Where are we now?
We’re near Pei County.
Pei County?
Yes.
Near Pei County?
Why not go to Pei County?
Go to Pei County?
Pei County?
At this moment, Xiang Yu would assume that I would flee West to Xianyang.
He’ll never expect me to head towards the East,
much less, return to Pei County.
Right. Let’s return to Pei County.
Liu Ji was defeated and is on the run.
If you find him and take him to Xiang Yu’s camp, you'll be granted
1000 taels of gold, 100 bolts of cloth, and made the marquis of 1000 families.
Long Ju, Mr. Fan is an eccentric man.
Other warriors are dividing the spoils.
But we travelled a long way here to listen to the wind blow.
That's what he always does. His strategies are very uncommon.
With him around, warfare seems like playing hide and seek.
One moment, he heads West, but the next, he heads East. His ideas are unique.
For example this time, we could have besieged Han Xin,
yet he ordered us to put up a disguise and lure the enemy.
Like roaming dogs, we kept running around. We were like a bunch of cowards.
Definitely. But Ji Bu and Yu Ziqi stood out in battle.
First, we pretended to be deserters. Now we're in this desolate place for Liu Ji.
Is it possible for Liu Ji to return here? Only an idiot would.
Alright. Just do as he ordered.
But don’t take his order too seriously. When day breaks,
we’ll leave.
Yes.
It’s really a desolate place. Can we find anything to eat?
General, there’s a tavern in the East of the village. Shall we have a look?
-East end? -Yes.
I’m so hungry.
Can you get some food for me?
Search this place, Xiaoxian.
Hush. Dad, be quiet.
They are hunting down your son.
But I’m hungry.
I know. I know. I’ll find you some food.
Hurry. Find some food!
-Is there any food? -No.
Oh my,
Look who this is!
Aren't you leading a happy life in Xianyang?
Oh wow, such a happy life! It makes me full of envy.
Be quiet.
-Why should I be quiet? -They are out looking for us.
You fear they've come for you?
If I hand you over to them, I can get at least 100 taels of gold.
Yu Ji, am I right?
Madam, aren’t you Liu Ji’s mistress?
Pooh. Madam? I can’t afford that title.
Oh my, I'm hungry.
Can you address me as “Madam”? Can you?
In such a situation, you’re still so arrogant.
It’s a big world out there, why are you hiding at my place?
Do you expect me to save you?
Ms. Cao, I don’t care if you save me or not.
But I beg you to save Liu Ji’s father.
Please save him.
What a precious bangle.
Liu Ji must have selected this just for you.
Yes.
You're deceiving yourself.
Liu Ji has many women. Each and every one of them has that bangle.
Lyu Zhi! Lyu Zhi, you think too highly of yourself.
Ms. Cao, did you think I bear with you
because I fear you?
It's because Liu Ji still has feelings for you.
But don’t go too far!
You have no right to talk to me like that.
How dare you?
You mean to kill me? Come on. Just stab into my neck.
Come on. Damn it. Why do you stop?
Liu Ji will behead you.
Yiji.
Ms. Cao, you’ll regret what you’ve done.
Nonsense.
Oh my, don’t quarrel here. They may find us!
Right. Keep quiet.
Search this place again.
I’ll go and stop them.
Are you courting death? Follow me. Hurry.
Mr. Liu, let's go.
-Hurry. Let’s go. Hurry. -Hurry. Hurry.
Wait. We've yet to settle the score between us. I’ll not let you die so early.
Alright. I’ll wait.
Hurry.
Coming!
Sir, what can I do for you?
I’m hungry. Bring me some food.
Sir, you’ve searched this place already. I have nothing left.
Give her money.
You should have said so earlier. Wait for me!
Here, sir.
Have you seen Liu Ji?
He’s living a happy life in Xianyang. He’s forgotten his poor country fellows.
Alright.
Listen to me. If you know his whereabouts but choose to hide it from me,
I’ll kill your entire village.
You’re kidding. Why would I dare to do so? I heard what those soldiers said just now.
I can get 100 taels of gold. Pooh! Too bad I don't have that kind of luck.
Take care, sir.
Oh! Thank you, sir.
This bangle… Where did you get it?
Handed down by my parents.
Handed down by your parents?
What are you trying to do?
Sir, I gave you food. What are you doing?
Listen up and answer me. I’ll repeat myself.
If you dare lie to me, I’ll kill everyone in the village. Speak!
Speak.
Everyone fled. There's no one else in the village now.
Then I’ll just kill you.
I repeat my question. Where did you get this?
From my parents.
You’re lying.
The dragon design bangle
belongs to nobody but Liu Ji’s wife.
She bribed you with this, didn’t she?
Tell me. In which direction did she make her escape?
Tell me!
Good. Alright. Good.
General. I think she really doesn’t know.
She's not as weak as she seems.
I’ll give you one last chance.
Tell me, where’s Liu Ji’s wife?
Stop!
I’m Lyu Zhi.
I’m Liu Ji’s wife.
You need not kill her.
You silly woman.
Sir, I can leave with you.
But please do me a favor.
Go on.
Make this woman get the hell out of here. I never want to see her again.
You gave her the bracelet?
My foot! She’s a cursed woman. Could she have given me that as a gift?
Don’t you try to fool me.
You are Liu Ji’s wife.
You risked your life to save her. She can't be anyone unimportant.
-Search the premises! -Yes.
Out! Hurry!
Move it! Go! Hurry!
-Hurry! -Where are we going?
Why did you save me?
Don’t you hate me?
You could have left after they killed me.
If you had told them the truth right from the beginning,
you could have stayed alive.
If you stick with us, you'll die. Don’t you fear death?
I’m only an uneducated village woman. But I’m also Liu Ji’s woman.
I don’t want to die, but I don’t fear death.
What about you? Don’t you hate me?
Why did you save me?
You’re so foolish. Do you think I’ll be grateful to you?
I don’t want your gratitude.
I don’t want to owe you anything.
Not even the slightest bit.
What are you fighting about?
So much nonsense. Don’t you fear that I’ll cut off your tongues?
What… What are you looking at?
Liu Ji escaped in panic.
He might already be dead.
What was all that about just now? Fighting for Liu Ji's favor?
How dare you stare at me! Get in the carriage! Move!
Wait for me! Wait!
-Go back. You fool. -Mother.
Let him go! Let him go!
I’m Liu Ji’s son. I’m really Liu Ji’s son!
You don’t believe me? You can ask her.
Wait. Wait.
Liu Ji is really a dissolute man.
I don’t care if he’s telling us the truth. Just take him with us. Set off.
Move. Move.
My son.
-Go. Hurry. -My son.
Get into the carriage.
My Lord, look. It's them!
They caught Le Er and Liu Ying.
Go after them.
Hurry!
My Lord.
-Ying’er. -Father.
My Lord. Hurry!
My Lord, do we still go after them?
Let them go. Let’s go.
What?
My Lord!
Lu Wan, escort them. Leave with our Lord. I can deal with these people.
Alright.
