What does Cai Yong mean writing these words?
Does anyone know?
I know it already
This stele...
You keep it to yourself first
Let me think for a while
Stop
How many miles have we travelled?
About nine miles
I have been thinking about these eight words on the stele
I figured it out from the raining
You can speak out the answer
Yellow silk, it's a colored silk
This is the character "Jue"
Small women, it's a young girl
It's the character "Miao"
Grandson, it's the son of women in family
It's the character "Hao"
The seasoning pot is tasting spice
It's the character "Ci"
These four characters mean Fabulous Words
Master Yang is indeed a talent
His talents is nine miles ahead of me
Nine miles ahead!It's just small tricks on words
It's nothing
You are good at solving the riddles
Can you figure out the situation right now?
You must be referring to the expedition towards Yuan Shao
Yes
Yuan occupied He Bei
The forces there are complicated
Our army is only 20 thousand troops going against their 100 thousand troops
To your opinion
Is this like a mantis trying to stop a chariot ?
You are wrong
The victory of this battle is not about the number of the troops
It's about people's will
Registrar Yang
Tell me about it
Yuan Shao looks generous outside but actually mean.He cares about his reputation and others' compliments
He only put his relatives and favored person in important positions
Many people led by him only know how to please him but don't know how to fight
On the other hand Grand Minister treats people sincerely
You value honesty and lead the army yourself
Many loyal and straight soldiers and counsellors are willing to die for you
We know the result of this battle from this already
Your explanation is good
It's just you didn't get out of Master Guo's ten victory ten defeats
Counsellor Guo is far smarter than me
Smart persons see things the same way
Both of you said so
There is nothing I should worry, then?
You will be able to collect all the talents in the nation this time
Completing the reunification of this nation
Even the small Si Ma Yi is not willing to enter my house
How to persuade all those talents?
So I haven't earned the heart of all people
The rain is heavy
It will be a harvest year
Darling, look at the weather
I feel comfortable and at ease on this wooden chair. I can wheel it very fast too
Let me go far ahead
and see the road for you
Slow down, don't fall into the water
Young master has a good mood recently
He eats more too
Let's ask for a better doctor next spring
We might be able to cure his legs
You knew him well. He will not show what he thinks
If he looks suffering, it will only make us suffer, too
Madam, to be honest, I don't like this city of Xu Du
What if the master can have us stay in the country side back then? It will be better
Maybe young master will be fine if we didn't come here
What I regret most
is why I let you pull the rice the other day
If I let you fetch the sticks on the hills
You will not come back at noon
He won't get ran over by the wagon, then
Don't talk like this, Madam
This is my fault
It's normal for you to ask me pull the rice
I just unloaded half of the rice that day
It will be better if I unloaded all the rice
Why don't you unload them all?
You were asking for me back, then
Did I ask for you?
You let me buy some silver needles
You said you and Miss Guo are going to be sewing some new sheets
Darling
Come on.What's wrong?
Hurry up.Young Master
Over there!
I thought you fell into the water
I almost ran over it
What's the matter?
Nothing
Madam was talking about your legs.
If that day I went to collect firewood
You won't...Hou Ji!
How do we move on if you keep thinking like this?
The origin of this problem
can be traced back to my childhood
If I made our third brother study hard when I am young
Especially that article about morality
If he study harder on that article
He wouldn't be criticized by Yang Xiu on Yue Dan Ping like that
Then I won't get up and debate with Yang Xiu
Then Cao Pi will not see me
Cao Cao will not recruit me either, then
I will not be like this at the end
but I can't meet this turtle either
Am I right, sweetheart?
Don't think too much
You waste the spring view here
Let's call this turtle Xin Yuan Yi Ma"Think Too Much"
Hou Ji, find a tub for this turtle when we go back
From now on
I will not be alone
We two go back together for the dinner
Young master, you can use extra help
Sit tight
Our third brother is an honest person
Will A Zhao like him?
A Zhao has led a wandering life
She wants a family in the end
We are waiting for you, Father
Alright, here I come.Master according to your wishes
everything is ready
Let's begin then
Come on, Zhao-er
Good boy
Shi-er grabbed the pen as well
Two sons
will inherit the tradition of poets and scholars
This is not bad for our Si Ma family
Good
Come here
Be careful
He went playing the GO
Father, he went for the GO now
GO...
It's good but he will not be able to tellwhat is white (right) what is black (wrong)
Biting your father
This bad boy
Who are you thinking when you are sad?
I only wish the love between us is deep
I hope we can be two birds of morning wind
Flying and nesting together at the north forest
A Zhao
Sister
Shi-er and Zhao-er are playing at your brother in law's room
I came here to take a look at you
Have some fruits
You have done a lot for me, for the Si Ma family recently. You must be tired
I'm ok
Watching my nephews growing every day here
is a lot of fun!
Yes. All those years, we were wandering on this country, together
We never have enough fun
I never thought I will marry and have children
Sister
Now you have a husband and two sons
Is this very different from the life before?
You want to know?
Then, get married soon
He sent me peach
I repay him with jade
It's not about thanking you
Brother
Brother Hou Ji
You are looking for me?Please have a seat
Your sister-in-law and I
want to introduce and match you with someone
No I don't want to
I haven't told you who the girl is and you say no?
Thank you for your concern but I haven't thought about this yet
Then I will introduce A Zhao to someone else
Who?
Who did you just say?
I said A Zhao
Is this true, brother?
Everyone knows who you like
Of course it's true. Otherwise, why would your sister-in-law keep A Zhao here?
But we don't know whether A Zhao is willing to marry me
You are handsome and talented
Why wouldn't she?
But A Zhao was unfortunate when she was a child
Your sister-in-law saved her
She didn't want to leave your sister-in-law from then on
Therefore, you need to treat her well in the future
A Zhao is so pretty
I mean, I'm not ugly right?
I'm still here and you claim you are ugly?
We are eight brothers
You are the most handsome one
Let me get dressed
Thank you, brother
Young master, actually...
I know what you want to say
Actually, I'm the most handsome among the eight brothers
I'm not talking about you I gonna talk about the butcher Zhang
Butcher Zhang? Is he more handsome than me?
No, he looks ugly
but he has a pretty daughter
And we are about the same age.Can you help me matchmake with her?
The spring is coming and everyone becomes unsettled
Alright I will help you with this
You are the most handsome one, Young Master!
Sending peach as a gift
Repay with jade
Sister, you know me
My father was the mayor in southern county
He was killed by treacherous courtiers and the family is broken
I had a brother missing
I don't know his whereabouts
Before I find my brother
I'm not going to marry anyone
We will help you with your brother
This will not affect you getting married
We can settle down the engagement first
Is that okay?
Sister
A Zhao
What are you doing? Rise up first
You saved my life, sister
I will do anything for you
But please don't push me on the marriage
How am I pushing you on this?
I'm thinking for you. Rise up first
I'm not getting up
Alright I will not talk about it first
For real?
Master "Think Too Much"
Can you make some room for me?
Although you are moving slowly it's still better than me
You can't walk like this all the day
I'm talking about you
What are you talking about?We are talking about the rules in this family
How about the talk between you and A Zhao?
We have to postpone this a bit for her
I told my brother already
She said if she can't find her missing brothershe wouldn't marry
What kind of reason is that?
It's just an excuse
I think she fell for someone already
No way, she barely gets out these days
She meets no one else except my brother
I heard her reciting a poem when I entered her room
"Who are you missing when you are sad?"
"I only wish our love is deep"
This is troublesome
Why?
This is the poem of Deputy Commander
There's nowhere to run
Stop!
【Lady Zhen】
Who are you?
General, I‘m the wife of Yuan Shao
This is Yuan Xi's wife Zhen Fu
I'm willing to offer this woman to save my family's life
Take them away
Spare my life, General!
Yuan Xi fled and abandoned the city
You lost your husband already
Why kill yourself over a man like that?
Grand Minister arrives
Take her
Father, all the people are arrested
This is Yuan Xi's wife Zhen Fu
My son came here early
Look at me
Yuan Xi has a wife like this
and he is willing to flee without her?
I want to ask for three things, Grand Minister
Speak
First, don't hurt the civilians
Young Miss
My father is an army with mercy
We only fight the strong and help the weak
We will care for the people for sure
Did you hear what my son said?
Since you are merciful then the children andthe women from Yuan's household are innocent
I hope you can show mercy to them as well
I didn't kill the man who insulted my father
How would I kill children and women?
I agree to these two requests of yours
The third one is for yourself?
I only wish for a full body
and to be buried at my own country
All the places are under one nation
He Bei and Central Plains now are united
No need to be trapped here
Zi Huan
Pick a clean house for Lady Zhen
Let your mother take care of her
Roger
Lady Zhen
Go ahead 20 steps and make a poemacross the booth in central lake
Read it out aloud for me
Yes
King treats the talents with manners
Willing to offer them everything
From the ice well to the flowers beside the lake
Although you haven't walked yet you made the poem
Hurry up, go ahead 20 steps
Yes, Father
Honey
Put the basin of that "horse" on the floor before you sleep
It's growing pretty fast now
I'm afraid it will fall
Don't worry, it's smarter than you
It won't do anything to hurt itself
Watch out!
It's alright
I'm looking
Can you walk?
Let me try
Come back
You can't let anyone else know
Father, Mother!
Stop right there, you have no where to run
Release me
Where did this guy come from?
Deputy Commander!
Who authorized you to kill and loot here?
Deputy Commander, it's been our tradition, isn't it?
Change then take your people and leave here
I though it's someone big
It's Zi Huan
【Cao Hong, Name Zi Lian】Uncle Zi Lian, please let your troops leave here
Zi Huan
They are citizens of Yuan Shao
From today on they are citizen of my father
Even your father never stop me before!
Soldiers follow your father into the battles
If they are not fed, who would follow you?
Uncle Zi Lian, today is different from the past
What you just said
Do you dare say it again to my father?
Listen up
From today on, if anyone kills the civilians for nothing
He will be executed!
You!
Ye Lan Cao
Young Miss also knows this
Why do you play a zither in front of my door?
The city is on curfew right now
Sometimes there will be the sound of cryingand killing on the street
I thought you might be scared
Therefore I play it to calm you down so you can sleep
I'm just a prisoner
whose life or death all depends on other people
Don't worry
I will protect you
I will not let anyone hurt or humiliate you
It's late now. It's cold outside
Please rest early, Young Miss
Sixth of June is the good date to hang out the clothes
Other families hang out the clothes
Our family hang out your books!
Our family is different
The books in our family are more important than clothes
Alright, you can wear your booksinstead of clothes on the street, then
Please talk carefully. This is our backyard
Servants might laugh at you
I'm not afraid of being laughed at
Even the books need sunshine.You used an umbrella instead.
Be careful, don't bring the rain here
My zodiac is not turtle, don't worry(There is no turtle in Chinese zodiac.Turtle is also a symbol of rain in the ancient myths)
We are afraid getting sunburnt.Is that right Master "Think Too Much"?
But you are (a turtle)
Darling, it began raining. Take away my books!
I told you, you will bring the rain!
Stay here!
Why are you running?
How did it go?
Do you catch up with Tian Liu? Why did he run?
I killed him.What?
Why?
He tried to kill me...
He tried to kill you?
This
came from him
He is drawing pictures of us?
He is from the investigation bureau?
My lady, this is bad.
Why?If he is from the investigation bureau
the bureau would have lost a guy
Man Chong will be after us
But if he tells them you were able to stand up today
You will be dead, too
Ji Bu
I saw it
This is just occasional
What did you see?
I saw everything in the rain
Tian Liu is from the investigation bureau
The bureau has been monitoring you for a year
The Grand Minister gave the order before he left
If you ever fake your illness
You must die
Ji Bu
This is related to my family's lives
I'm begging you
Don't worry
I have disposed the body
You know nothing about this
It never happened. Understood?
You refused the recruitment of Grand Minister
He is angry
You look out for yourselves
Master, this time, our army seized four cities
We took over a lot of supplies and armories
All talents in He Bei heard your recruiment edict
and are trying to join us
He Bei is a place of talents
【Xun You, Name Gong Da】Yuan Shao rose along with me
He claimed he will occupy Yellow Riverand block Yan in north
Among the crowd in the desert
He said he can become the emperor of this nation
With the advantages he had
He turned out dead and lost the country
It's really a pity
Yuan Shao didn't fully use these talents he had
Knew who is good for the country but refuse to recruit
He is loose on the outside but strict inside.He tried to plot a lot but never decides
He deserves to be defeated by you
Yuan Shao brought this to himself but the citizens are innocent
Take my order. Exempt the taxes of He Shu for this year
Grand Minister has a great heart!I will give out the order
Cao Hong wants to see Grand Minister
Come in
Big Brother
Bring it up
What is this, general?
This is the evidence of courtiers' treason
These are the letters betweenYuan Shao and officers within us
I just brought it here from Yuan Shao's place
These people think we don't havethat many soldiers as Yuan Shao
They turned against us
This time
we can kill these ungrateful people
I understand
Burn it.Burn it?
Yuan Shao is indeed a strong opponent.I can't even guarantee my victory
It's normal for these people to turn against us. Burn it.
Master, your tolerance makes you a real hero!
It's too easy for them
Take these away
Wait a moment
It's better we take a look
Bring Zi Huan and Zi Jian
These are the secret letters betweenYuan Shao and the traitors in the court
What shall we do with these?
Burn it
Investigate then burn it
Tell me why
These people turn to the enemies seeing we are outnumbered on soldiers
These people, with this kind of action,bring danger and trouble in the future
Even we don't kill them todaywe need to take care of them back in the camp
Otherwise if there is another war they will be the rats
The real danger is always within us. not outside
I don't think so, brother
Your brother is correct
Father
I don't think you are Ji Sun
You don't need to worry about the danger within
The reason for these people to turnis because we were outnumbered
It's normal they think for themselves and try to have a extra way to escape
You are merging He Bei and the entire Central Plain
No one can compete with you anymore
They will realize the situation and become loyal to you
Father still has enemies in Eastern Wu andLiu Bei is out there too
There will be a fight for sure
How can we use people like this?
Even Confucius don't agree to render good for evil
Zi Jian, don't forget how Yuan Shao got defeated
It's because of the betrayal of Xu You
Brother, after the war
It's the best time for show your kindnessand buy the heart of people
He Bei is full of talents. Many people follow Yuan Shao and went against Father
If we kill all these people,
how should we deal with the subordinates of Yuan Shao?
This kind of will, all people are going to feel they are in danger
The fight on battle ground is straightforward.It's better than those who stab you from behind
Let me teach you a sentence:
We can use the enemies
We can't use the traitors
The way Father deal with the cloth edict
He didn't blame the people who got involved
All the people are elated and happy in court
Our army set out but nothing happened in Xu Du
This indicates our father's decision as wise
That is different. Dong Cheng's accomplicesare those without actual power
but these people are crucial in the army.They are ticking bombs
You can remove them anytime if they do it again
Forgiving most of these people can spreadour father's kindness over the nation
If we choose to kill everyone of them
It brings nothing but a few hundreds heads
Zi Jian, you are too naive
I know what you two mean
I'm a bit drunk
I'm getting old. Not as pretty as before.
Zi Huan and Zi Jian
Who is more suitable to be a crown prince?
Why do you ask about this?
Now that the Central Plain is settled,I am planning for the future
We need a crown prince for stability
Zi Huan is the eldest son andhe accompanies you on the battleground
You know very well about his talents and capabilities
Zi Huan
Smart and sharp
but is keen for calculation and power.Too hard on accepting others and uniting other parts
I want a person that can save and help the world
What about Zi Jian?
Zi Jian is knowledgable
He is broad minded
He is also kind and have mercy
I like this about him, too
But he is also very simple and naive
I'm afraid he can't handle thosesmall minded folk who will play tricks behind him
Zi Jian is still young if you really like him
You can instruct him yourself by your side
What kind of ambitions, courage and determination
can bring together this departed world?
These two sons
are not good enough for me to let go
Since you can't decide
Why not ask Counsellor Guo?
Feng Xiao did give me some advice last time
He just didn't make it clear
I will ask him directly this time
Report
Counsellor Guo is ill and in danger at Liu City
Prepare the horse!Yes
Feng Xiao!
Feng Xiao
Master.What happened?
Isn't he in good health previously?
Master
I have been waiting for you
So that I can go away
Don't give up Feng Xiao
We just conquered He Bei
I need you to conquer the whole nation
I didn't believe in destiny before
Today I realized
Man can never defeat the gods
Don't let go, Feng Xiao
You are the youngest among all the people
I even want to ask you about...
I want to tell you to look after our family when I die
Master, please listen to me
Beside you
You can ask Xun Yu and Zhong Yao for domestic affairs
You can ask Xun You and Cheng Yu for diplomatic affairs
These are outstanding people
They are capable to help you with strategies inside out
I don't want them
I only want to ask your advice
Feng Xiao, I only want to consult you!
Master
The reason why I need you here today
besides I want to see you the last time
I have another thing to tell you
I will do anything for you
Si Ma Yi
Si Ma Yi?
What about him?
This person is deep and smart
I can't compete with him either
I thought I can control him for years
Persuade him to serve you
But right now
You can't let Han, Sun or Liu have him
If you can't persuade him to join you, kill him
