[Chen Gong] Leave us.
548
00:38:04,583 --> 00:38:06,458
You're really not afraid to die?
549
00:38:07,125 --> 00:38:09,208
I heard the chancellor treated you well.
550
00:38:09,791 --> 00:38:11,791
Why did you throw it all away?
551
00:38:12,375 --> 00:38:13,416
[Cao Cao scoffs]
552
00:38:14,333 --> 00:38:15,916
If I was afraid to die,
553
00:38:17,250 --> 00:38:19,208
I'd be an official like you.
554
00:38:21,625 --> 00:38:22,916
But I couldn't do it.
555
00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:25,666
Everyone knows your name by now.
556
00:38:26,416 --> 00:38:29,916
And you can die as a hero, become famous.
557
00:38:30,708 --> 00:38:32,125
Is that what you want?
558
00:38:32,208 --> 00:38:33,416
No, it isn't.
559
00:38:35,125 --> 00:38:37,000
I shouldn't be considered an assassin.
560
00:38:37,583 --> 00:38:39,875
I vowed to save this nation from disaster,
561
00:38:39,958 --> 00:38:41,666
I should have gathered an army
562
00:38:41,750 --> 00:38:44,958
to defeat Dong Zhuo
and truly restore peace and order.
563
00:38:46,208 --> 00:38:48,291
An assassin who dies as a martyr?
564

[Cao Cao scoffs]
565
00:38:52,791 --> 00:38:53,833
I never wanted that.
566
00:38:54,333 --> 00:38:57,500
Do you know how much the bounty
on your head is?
567
00:38:59,208 --> 00:39:02,041
It's enough to last me
several lifetimes at least.
568
00:39:02,125 --> 00:39:03,791

[cackles]
570
00:39:07,583 --> 00:39:10,500
[Cao Cao] Then go give my head
to Dong Zhuo for the money.
571
00:39:10,583 --> 00:39:14,333
Let your family
and your descendants spend it.
572

A swallow cannot fathom an eagle's dream.
573
00:39:21,708 --> 00:39:22,916
Kill me if you want.

[fort master]
Cao was ready to die for his cause.
575
00:39:26,541 --> 00:39:29,541
But Chen had a change of heart
before the execution.
576
00:39:29,625 --> 00:39:31,416
You're a real hero.
577
00:39:31,500 --> 00:39:33,833
A state scholar of no equal, I admire you.
578
00:39:34,583 --> 00:39:35,458
Please accept my bow.
579
00:39:36,333 --> 00:39:39,666
[fort master] Chen Gong was willing
to give up his position and his family
580
00:39:39,750 --> 00:39:41,750
to help Cao with his plans.
581
00:39:41,833 --> 00:39:44,666
Later on, they sought refuge
with Lu Boshe,
582
00:39:45,333 --> 00:39:48,083

00:39:54,875 --> 00:39:56,666
[Lu Boshe] Oh. Thank goodness.
586
00:39:56,750 --> 00:39:58,958
Well, it's all right. You're safe now.
587
00:39:59,458 --> 00:40:00,875
Thank you, Master Lu.
588
00:40:00,958 --> 00:40:02,250
Stop it. We're family.
589
00:40:02,875 --> 00:40:04,375
And this is…
590
00:40:04,458 --> 00:40:06,791
Uh, this is my blood brother.
591
00:40:06,875 --> 00:40:09,208
-Master Lu, Chen Gong.
-I see.
592
00:40:09,291 --> 00:40:10,625
He's my savior.
593
00:40:10,708 --> 00:40:13,541
I'd be dead now if it wasn't for him.
594
00:40:13,625 --> 00:40:16,250
Ah. It's an honor to meet you, sir.
595
00:40:16,333 --> 00:40:17,458
Thank you.
596
00:40:17,541 --> 00:40:20,958
Dear brother Chen,
I humbly bow to you in gratitude.
597
00:40:21,041 --> 00:40:22,250
Thank you, sir.
598
00:40:22,750 --> 00:40:24,625
No, thank you for saving Cao Cao.
599
00:40:24,708 --> 00:40:26,125
Please follow me.

00:40:26,208 --> 00:40:27,833
Hello, everyone. Come here, come here.
601
00:40:27,916 --> 00:40:29,583
Quickly. Quickly, everyone.
602
00:40:30,208 --> 00:40:31,625
This is my family.
603

My three sons and their wives.
604

This is my wife.

Cao Cao.
607
00:40:42,916 --> 00:40:46,541
He single-handedly tried to assassinate
General Dong Zhuo.
608
00:40:46,625 --> 00:40:48,500
Now, he's famous.
609
00:40:49,083 --> 00:40:52,458
It's an honor to have him
visiting our humble home.

-Bring out our best wine.
-We're out of wine.

[Lu Boshe] What?
614
00:41:02,291 --> 00:41:03,291
It's all right.
615
00:41:03,375 --> 00:41:06,916
I'll ask my wife to prepare
some extra special dishes for you.
616
00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:09,833
And I will go and buy
the most expensive wine I can find.
617
00:41:10,416 --> 00:41:12,083
You must be tired from traveling.
618
00:41:12,166 --> 00:41:14,125
Son, take them to the guest room.
619
00:41:14,708 --> 00:41:16,791
And get some rest. Just follow him.

those two are trouble.

Don't make so much noise. You'll blow it.

Our best bet is to take them out
with one strike.

00:42:07,041 --> 00:42:11,000
They have to die.
They have to and we have to do it.
633
00:42:13,916 --> 00:42:17,125
Why would they help us?
You're not their family.
634

He's not buying wine,
he's contacting the authorities,
635
00:42:21,291 --> 00:42:23,375
then he'll have his family kill us
in our sleep.
636
00:42:23,458 --> 00:42:25,666
Okay. Then, what's the plan?
637
00:42:27,125 --> 00:42:28,416
Strike first.
638
00:42:29,291 --> 00:42:31,083
I won't die without a fight.

Tie up the pigs. I'll sharpen the knife.

Hey, don't make so much noise.
You'll wake them up.

Why didn't you wait for me, huh?

Master Lu.
654
00:43:52,458 --> 00:43:55,041
It's not safe for your family
to be harboring a fugitive.
655

-It's better if we just go.
-Hey, hey, hey.
656

Just hold on a second.
You can't leave yet.

Look, I bought us wine.
658
00:44:01,208 --> 00:44:03,833
Let's have a drink
and you can leave tomorrow. Please.

I owe it to your father
to treat you to a good meal.

I would expect the same from him.

[Chen Gong] Why did you kill him
if you knew it was a misunderstanding?
675
00:45:06,958 --> 00:45:08,541
[Cao Cao] Because If I didn't…
676
00:45:09,541 --> 00:45:12,291
he would have gathered men
to help him get revenge.
677

than be wronged by the world.

The only person I owed a debt to
is you, Lu Boshe.

If I don't save this nation
and the Han Court,

You're just going to leave him like this?
687

We have to bury him properly.
688

The only way to save the world
is through power and detemination.

I know that I will never have
another true friend in this lifetime,

00:48:21,375 --> 00:48:23,416
Cao took the sword,

I need to raise an army.
727
00:48:35,750 --> 00:48:37,833
A substantial one to defeat Dong Zhuo.
728
00:48:37,916 --> 00:48:42,208
Mm, even if we spent our entire fortune,
it still wouldn't be enough.
729
00:48:43,333 --> 00:48:44,708
Hmm.
730
00:48:44,791 --> 00:48:46,250
[Cao Cao] It's untrue.
731
00:48:46,333 --> 00:48:47,833
Thanks to the assassination attempt,
732
00:48:47,916 --> 00:48:51,166

SUN JIAN
845
00:55:34,333 --> 00:55:36,708
The boy next to him
must be his youngest son,
846
00:55:36,791 --> 00:55:37,916
Sun Quan.
847
00:55:38,000 --> 00:55:40,958
Jiangdong is renowned
for its naval commanders.
848
00:55:41,458 --> 00:55:42,708
Which would be great…
849
00:55:43,541 --> 00:55:46,500
if the Hulao Pass wasn't in the mountains.
850
00:55:46,583 --> 00:55:48,500
They'll be out of their element.

serve our country.
856
00:56:14,833 --> 00:56:17,291
And work together as one.
857
00:56:17,375 --> 00:56:18,416
[Yuan Shao] Mengde,
858
00:56:19,041 --> 00:56:21,458
your wanted posters are everywhere.
859
00:56:22,375 --> 00:56:24,708
You've become quite famous.
860
00:56:26,041 --> 00:56:30,083
I only wish I killed that bastard
when I had the chance.
861
00:56:30,166 --> 00:56:31,875
What's done is done.
862
00:56:31,958 --> 00:56:33,958
Now, Dong Zhuo knows
we're organizing troops
863
00:56:34,041 --> 00:56:35,625
to oust him from Luoyang.
864
00:56:36,375 --> 00:56:40,583
He and Lu Bu have already dispatched
150,000 troops.
865
00:56:41,291 --> 00:56:46,250
And they're waiting for us,
east of the garrison in Hulao Pass.
866
00:56:46,333 --> 00:56:48,125
We've gathered here today
867
00:56:48,208 --> 00:56:52,875
to receive the blessings of the heavens,
the earth, and our ancestors.
868
00:56:53,416 --> 00:56:57,458
Now, warriors, we toast with deer's blood.
869
00:57:00,583 --> 00:57:02,375
Our soldiers combined
870
00:57:02,458 --> 00:57:05,291
will amount to 180,000
871
00:57:05,375 --> 00:57:08,875
along with the cavalry of 100,000.
872
00:57:08,958 --> 00:57:12,833
Our united forces will defeat Dong Zhuo.
873

Count us in too.

We've come to join the alliance.
877
00:57:23,541 --> 00:57:26,833
You have some nerve talking out of term.
Identify yourselves.
878

My name is Liu Bei, Commander.
879

Who's your family?
883
00:57:37,875 --> 00:57:39,541
I'm the descendant of Prince Jing,
884
00:57:41,166 --> 00:57:44,458
who was the son of Emperor Jing
of the Han Dynasty.
885
00:57:44,541 --> 00:57:47,833
Given your royal lineage,
what is your rank and title?
886
00:57:47,916 --> 00:57:50,666
I have no rank or title.
887
00:57:51,250 --> 00:57:52,750
I currently live in Pingyuan.
888
00:57:52,833 --> 00:57:54,458
And what does your family do?
889
00:57:55,041 --> 00:57:56,750
We make straw shoes for a living.
890
00:57:56,833 --> 00:57:59,375
[all laughing]
891
00:57:59,458 --> 00:58:00,625
[officer] Straw shoes?
892
00:58:00,708 --> 00:58:02,750
[Yuan Shao] What about
the two people beside you?
893
00:58:03,583 --> 00:58:05,250
Guan Yu is a guard.
894
00:58:06,375 --> 00:58:08,541
Zhang Fei is a butcher.

Excuse me, Alliance Commander, Yuan,
898
00:58:14,750 --> 00:58:17,125
I'm just curious,
why did you invite these men,
899
00:58:17,208 --> 00:58:18,416
to entertain us?
900
00:58:18,500 --> 00:58:20,041
[men laughing]
901
00:58:20,125 --> 00:58:21,250
Enough!
902
00:58:21,333 --> 00:58:23,791
My brother is of royal descent,
903
00:58:23,875 --> 00:58:25,666
and you dare mock him?
904
00:58:25,750 --> 00:58:28,125
How many troops did you bring with you?
905
00:58:28,208 --> 00:58:30,125
Just the three of us, sir.
906
00:58:30,708 --> 00:58:32,000
[laughs]
907
00:58:33,500 --> 00:58:35,416
[Yuan Shao] You have guts,
I'll give you that.
908
00:58:35,500 --> 00:58:36,875
Each of the 18 warriors here
909
00:58:36,958 --> 00:58:39,666
brought at least 20,000 to 30,000 troops.
910
00:58:40,291 --> 00:58:43,041
So tell me, why do I need you?
911
00:58:45,375 --> 00:58:48,625
Troop numbers don't decide wars,
912
00:58:48,708 --> 00:58:50,250
courage and loyalty do.
913
00:58:51,416 --> 00:58:53,375
[Liu Bei] And we have courage and loyalty.
914
00:58:54,166 --> 00:58:55,333
That's why we're here.
915
00:58:55,416 --> 00:58:57,625
[laughing]
916
00:58:57,708 --> 00:58:58,833
Well said!
917
00:58:59,500 --> 00:59:00,916
Very well said!
918
00:59:02,166 --> 00:59:05,041
These three men are loyal and courageous.
919
00:59:05,125 --> 00:59:08,291
The kind of heroes we need
in this time of crisis,
920
00:59:08,375 --> 00:59:10,708
fearless and defiant.
921
00:59:13,541 --> 00:59:15,833
[Liu Bei] As a descendant of Prince Jing,
922
00:59:15,916 --> 00:59:17,875
It is my duty to join the alliance
923
00:59:18,875 --> 00:59:21,458
and protect the Han Dynasty
from Dong Zhuo.
924
00:59:22,291 --> 00:59:24,125
If I have to sacrifice everything,
925
00:59:25,500 --> 00:59:26,958
then so be it.
926
00:59:28,708 --> 00:59:30,291
I don't care about your linage,
927
00:59:30,916 --> 00:59:34,458
or your rank, or how many troops you have
under your command.
928
00:59:34,541 --> 00:59:37,208
To be victorious,
we need loyalty and courage.
929
00:59:39,541 --> 00:59:40,708
Isn't that right?
930
00:59:40,791 --> 00:59:42,958
-[general 1] Right!
-[general 2] Yes, sir, that's right.
931
00:59:46,041 --> 00:59:48,083
-[Cao Cao] So, tell us.
-[Liu Bei] Tell you what?
932
00:59:48,166 --> 00:59:50,000
[Cao Cao] How to defeat Dong Zhuo.
933
00:59:50,083 --> 00:59:53,958
[Liu Bei] Well, the first thing
we have to do is rescue His Majesty.
934
00:59:54,041 --> 00:59:57,500
Dong's regime will collapse
without the young emperor as a hostage.
935
00:59:58,166 --> 01:00:00,958
But in order to do that,
we have to get into Luoyang.
936
01:00:01,791 --> 01:00:03,958
Which means going through the Hulao Pass.
937
01:00:04,041 --> 01:00:05,916
Dong Zhuo knows this too.
938
01:00:06,000 --> 01:00:09,458
Which means he's going to throw
all his military power into guarding it.
939
01:00:11,833 --> 01:00:13,541
That's where he's sending Lu Bu.
940
01:00:13,625 --> 01:00:15,875
What if we fail
to break through the defenses?
941
01:00:16,791 --> 01:00:19,208
Then we have no chance
of defeating Dong Zhuo.
942
01:00:22,958 --> 01:00:25,291
[suspenseful music plays]
943
01:00:27,916 --> 01:00:29,583
Reach Hulao Pass,
944
01:00:31,750 --> 01:00:33,166
and kill Lu Bu.
945
01:00:33,250 --> 01:00:34,666
I second that order.
946
01:00:34,750 --> 01:00:37,666
Very well. The alliance welcomes you.
947
01:00:37,750 --> 01:00:39,291
-Give them the blood.
-[Cao Cao] Hmm.
948
01:00:42,916 --> 01:00:43,875
[Cao Cao] Here.
949
01:00:44,416 --> 01:00:47,875
I, Cao Mengde, toast to our alliance!
950
01:00:48,875 --> 01:00:50,416
[all] Cheers!
951
01:00:51,750 --> 01:00:53,083
[all] Cheers!
952
01:00:54,541 --> 01:00:56,916
-[Cao grunts]
-[cups shattering]
953
01:00:57,000 --> 01:00:58,458
We still missing one thing.
954
01:00:59,875 --> 01:01:01,125
And what would that be?
955
01:01:02,208 --> 01:01:03,125
An imperial decree.
956
01:01:04,125 --> 01:01:05,083
A decree?
957
01:01:05,916 --> 01:01:08,291
[Cao Cao] His Majesty wrote this decree
with his blood,
958
01:01:08,375 --> 01:01:10,666
then he had me smuggle it out of Luoyang.
959
01:01:10,750 --> 01:01:14,708
So that I would use it
to summon warriors to save him,
960
01:01:14,791 --> 01:01:18,541
to defeat Dong Zhuo
and to end the people's suffering.
961
01:01:18,625 --> 01:01:19,958
The eighteen warlords…
962
01:01:20,750 --> 01:01:22,041
receive your orders.
963
01:01:22,125 --> 01:01:23,750
[weapons clatter]
964
01:01:28,208 --> 01:01:29,708
"The traitor, Dong Zhuo,
965
01:01:30,250 --> 01:01:33,333
usurped the throne,
corrupted the Han Court,
966
01:01:33,416 --> 01:01:36,291
defiled the dowager,
and killed innocent people.
967
01:01:37,083 --> 01:01:40,500
I, hereby summon all warlords under heaven
968
01:01:40,583 --> 01:01:43,500
to raise an army to defeat Dong Zhuo,
969
01:01:43,583 --> 01:01:46,916
defend the royal family,
and save our citizens.
970
01:01:47,000 --> 01:01:50,208
Heed this decree and take swift action."
971
01:01:51,708 --> 01:01:52,958
[general] Hold on.
972
01:01:54,166 --> 01:01:56,166
Did you really meet His Majesty?
973
01:01:56,250 --> 01:01:57,416
-[scoffs]
-[general] I mean…
974
01:01:57,500 --> 01:01:59,666
How do we know
if that decree is even real?
975
01:02:01,958 --> 01:02:04,250
[laughing]
976
01:02:04,333 --> 01:02:06,458
Of course, it isn't real.
977
01:02:06,541 --> 01:02:08,291
-Huh?
-[Cao] I wrote it.
978
01:02:09,166 --> 01:02:11,375
-You!
-That's treasonous!
979
01:02:11,458 --> 01:02:12,708
-Commander--
-Stop.
980
01:02:14,458 --> 01:02:15,916
You wrote that?
981
01:02:17,375 --> 01:02:19,750
It gives our cause legitimacy.
982
01:02:21,250 --> 01:02:24,000
We need it, so it's real.
983
01:02:24,083 --> 01:02:27,541
Dong Zhuo treats the young emperor
like a toy.
984
01:02:29,250 --> 01:02:31,958
If we succeed in bringing him down,
985
01:02:32,833 --> 01:02:35,666
nobody will question the decree.
986
01:02:36,625 --> 01:02:37,750
If we fail,
987
01:02:38,958 --> 01:02:40,750
what difference would it make…
988
01:02:42,666 --> 01:02:43,708
even if were real?
989
01:02:43,791 --> 01:02:45,083
-[thuds]
-[fire crackles]
990
01:02:46,125 --> 01:02:47,875
We have to keep our eyes on that one.
991
01:02:47,958 --> 01:02:50,500
Since we don't have an official decree,
992
01:02:50,583 --> 01:02:54,708
I think it would be good
to set some ground rules of our own.
993
01:02:54,791 --> 01:02:58,250
Out of all the heroes
who have assembled here today,
994
01:02:58,333 --> 01:03:02,208
the first one to enter Luoyang
and rescue His Majesty…
995
01:03:03,583 --> 01:03:05,250
will be appointed Grand Chief Controller.
996
01:03:05,333 --> 01:03:06,375
Agree.
997
01:03:06,958 --> 01:03:12,416
Commander, allow me to lead the first wave
of our attack at Hulao Pass.
998
01:03:12,500 --> 01:03:13,333
Of course.
999
01:03:13,416 --> 01:03:16,458
My army will be in charge of provisions.
1000
01:03:16,958 --> 01:03:19,708
-[Yuan Shao] All right, see to it.
-[general] Get moving.
1001
01:03:20,791 --> 01:03:21,875
[Yuan Shao] Hmm.
1002
01:03:25,583 --> 01:03:27,166
[Dong Zhuo laughing]
1003
01:03:27,250 --> 01:03:29,041
[woman giggling]
1004
01:03:32,000 --> 01:03:34,625
[both laughing]
1005
01:03:37,541 --> 01:03:40,208
[Li Ru] Chancellor, our scout brings news.
1006
01:03:41,041 --> 01:03:43,666
Sun Jian has broken through
three of our defensive lines
1007
01:03:43,750 --> 01:03:45,208
at Hulao Pass.
1008
01:03:46,500 --> 01:03:47,541
[spits]
1009
01:03:48,208 --> 01:03:50,000
They're planning to attack Luoyang.
1010
01:03:50,083 --> 01:03:51,833
What do we do?
1011
01:03:51,916 --> 01:03:53,791
-What do we do?
-[Lu Bu] I'll go.
1012
01:03:53,875 --> 01:03:56,416
Why should we use a butcher's knife
to slaughter a chicken?
1013
01:03:56,500 --> 01:03:58,250
Let me go to the frontlines.
1014
01:03:58,833 --> 01:04:00,708
It's about time they witness
1015
01:04:01,458 --> 01:04:05,166
the power of West Liang's
mightiest warrior,
1016
01:04:05,250 --> 01:04:06,583
Hua Xiong!
1017
01:04:07,375 --> 01:04:10,166
[wind howling]
1018
01:04:15,958 --> 01:04:19,000
YUAN
1019
01:04:23,250 --> 01:04:26,666
You broke through their formation,
isolated the enemy,
1020
01:04:26,750 --> 01:04:29,458
and even gave yourself an escape route.
1021
01:04:29,541 --> 01:04:31,000
Two moves in one.
1022
01:04:31,583 --> 01:04:32,958
Genius.
1023
01:04:33,583 --> 01:04:35,333
Judging from your game tactics,
1024
01:04:35,416 --> 01:04:37,833
I'd say you must be a master strategist.
1025
01:04:37,916 --> 01:04:39,333
They won't deploy me,
1026
01:04:39,958 --> 01:04:41,541
so I just play to kill time.
1027
01:04:42,416 --> 01:04:44,166
You defended your brother well.
1028
01:04:45,166 --> 01:04:46,041
I'm impressed.
1029
01:04:46,125 --> 01:04:48,000
He's been attacked a lot…
1030
01:04:48,791 --> 01:04:49,916
since we got here.
1031
01:04:51,166 --> 01:04:53,958
We're just waiting for a chance
to prove ourselves.
1032
01:04:55,333 --> 01:04:58,000
To befriend such a great man as yourself,
1033
01:04:58,083 --> 01:05:00,916
Liu Bei must be quite extraordinary.
1034
01:05:03,541 --> 01:05:07,125
I admire your heroism
in attempting to assassinate Dong Zhuo.
1035
01:05:08,250 --> 01:05:09,250
But…
1036
01:05:10,125 --> 01:05:12,750
my allegiance is to my big brother.
1037
01:05:15,041 --> 01:05:16,375
[game pieces rattle]
1038
01:05:18,041 --> 01:05:20,916
Your loyalty is what I admire
the most about you.
1039
01:05:23,041 --> 01:05:25,708
[soldier] Sir, Sun Jian's troops
were wiped out.
1040
01:05:25,791 --> 01:05:28,375
And now, Hua Xiong is taunting us
outside the fortress.
1041
01:05:28,458 --> 01:05:30,916
He said he's coming
for your head, General.
1042
01:05:32,250 --> 01:05:34,250
He's challenging us to duels
1043
01:05:34,833 --> 01:05:36,958
to undermine our morale.
1044
01:05:40,916 --> 01:05:42,583
[Guan Yu] It's also
the perfect opportunity
1045
01:05:42,666 --> 01:05:44,166
for the alliance to prove itself.
1046
01:05:45,458 --> 01:05:47,833
Things are finally getting interesting.
1047
01:05:50,125 --> 01:05:52,791
[ominous music plays]
1048
01:05:55,458 --> 01:05:57,916
[horses neigh]
1049
01:05:59,416 --> 01:06:02,083
You bunch of traitors
have been out here long enough,
1050
01:06:02,166 --> 01:06:04,000
and you can't hide in there forever.
1051
01:06:04,083 --> 01:06:06,000
Chancellor Dong's sent me here
to deal with you
1052
01:06:06,083 --> 01:06:08,125
and that's exactly what I'm going to do.
1053
01:06:08,708 --> 01:06:12,208
[Cao Cao] Dong Zhuo's warriors
are as numerous as they are formidable.
1054
01:06:12,291 --> 01:06:15,083
Hua Xiong is West Liang's top fighter.
1055
01:06:15,958 --> 01:06:18,416
But he's only Dong's third strongest.
1056
01:06:18,958 --> 01:06:22,750
And in terms of sheer skill,
he's nowhere near Lu Bu.
1057
01:06:22,833 --> 01:06:24,541
If we can't defeat Hua Xiong,
1058
01:06:25,541 --> 01:06:26,916
forget about Lu Bu.
1059
01:06:27,541 --> 01:06:29,000
We cannot lose our first battle.
1060
01:06:29,083 --> 01:06:31,791
Which of you is brave enough
to fight Hua Xiong
1061
01:06:31,875 --> 01:06:33,875
and bring glory to the alliance?
1062
01:06:34,791 --> 01:06:38,500
Commander Yuan, I am Yu She,
and I will gladly fight.
1063
01:06:38,583 --> 01:06:41,583
General Yu, is undefeated in battle,
and shall remain as such.
1064
01:06:41,666 --> 01:06:42,791
Bring the wine!
1065
01:06:43,750 --> 01:06:45,833
And we will toast
to the general's victory.
1066
01:06:45,916 --> 01:06:47,166
[Yu She] Thank you, sir.

01:18:18,375 --> 01:18:20,416
they were not committed to the cause.
1251
01:18:20,500 --> 01:18:22,583
They only cared about one thing,
1252
01:18:23,125 --> 01:18:24,708
their own personal gain.
1253
01:18:25,291 --> 01:18:26,708
They used Dong Zhuo
1254
01:18:26,791 --> 01:18:29,458
as a cover for their own ulterior motives.
1255
01:18:30,458 --> 01:18:33,833
Exploiting the crisis
to gain an advantage.
1256
01:18:33,916 --> 01:18:38,083
The man named Lu Bu
rides a steed named Red Hare.
1257
01:18:38,166 --> 01:18:41,750
They say he can take on 10,000 troops
by himself.
1258
01:18:41,833 --> 01:18:44,416
Dong Zhuo, has recruited elite troops
from the west,
1259
01:18:44,500 --> 01:18:46,291
known for their destructive power.
1260
01:18:46,375 --> 01:18:48,625
Obviously, no one wants
to suffer heavy losses.
1261
01:18:48,708 --> 01:18:50,125
[scoffs]
1262
01:18:50,208 --> 01:18:53,125
Well, that's not really an option,
going up against Lu Bu.
1263
01:18:53,208 --> 01:18:54,833
But if we can't defeat him,
1264
01:18:55,458 --> 01:18:57,291
how can we defeat Dong Zhuo?
1265
01:18:57,375 --> 01:18:58,541
[scoffs]
1266
01:18:58,625 --> 01:19:00,833
Hey, snap out of it.
1267
01:19:02,166 --> 01:19:03,750
We didn't go through all of this…
1268
01:19:04,458 --> 01:19:07,083
just to kill Hua Xiong, did we?
1269
01:19:08,208 --> 01:19:11,625
You're supposed to be warriors,
so prove it.
1270

[weapon clangs]
1271
01:19:14,250 --> 01:19:18,375
[Dong Zhuo] Luoyang has been
the Han capital for over 200 years.
1272
01:19:18,458 --> 01:19:20,083
It's on the verge of decline.
1273
01:19:20,166 --> 01:19:23,208
For the sake of our kingdom,
and His Majesty's health,
1274
01:19:23,291 --> 01:19:26,833
I have decided
to move the capital to Chang'an.
1275
01:19:26,916 --> 01:19:28,708
[minister 1] What? Move the capital?
1276
01:19:28,791 --> 01:19:30,291
-[crowd murmuring]
-[minister 2] Why?
1277
01:19:30,375 --> 01:19:31,375

Why would you try to kill yourself?
1291
01:21:16,625 --> 01:21:18,250
Someone proposed to me…
1292
01:21:20,250 --> 01:21:21,833
and my godfather accepted it,
1293
01:21:23,875 --> 01:21:25,416
but I don't want to marry him.
1294
01:21:27,166 --> 01:21:28,541
He's a horrible man.
1295
01:21:29,791 --> 01:21:31,708
Since I have no other choice,
1296
01:21:33,875 --> 01:21:34,916
I'd rather die.
1297

01:21:47,875 --> 01:21:49,875
No one will harm you ever again.
1300
01:21:51,208 --> 01:21:54,791
Tell the one who proposed to you
that belong to Lu Bu.
1301
01:21:56,583 --> 01:21:59,958
Once I return victorious,
I will marry you.
1302
01:22:02,458 --> 01:22:03,750
General Lu…
1303
01:22:05,875 --> 01:22:07,333
do you mean it?
1304
01:22:07,416 --> 01:22:08,708
I always mean what I say.
1305
01:22:13,208 --> 01:22:14,500
But we just met.
1306
01:22:16,000 --> 01:22:17,416
How do I know you're serious?

I trust you.

I swear,
1314
01:22:47,333 --> 01:22:49,291
I will forever be devoted to you.

From this day forward,

[Liu Bei] We've never dueled before.
1322
01:23:49,708 --> 01:23:51,666
[Cao Cao] Then let's not waste
the opportunity.
1323
01:23:52,583 --> 01:23:54,291
[Liu Bei] We might not get another chance.
1324
01:23:55,125 --> 01:23:56,875

[both grunting]
1329
01:24:13,416 --> 01:24:15,708
[Liu Bei] I think Yuan Shao
would run away if he could,
1330
01:24:16,416 --> 01:24:18,333
but it'd be too embarrassing.
1331
01:24:18,416 --> 01:24:21,250
The alliance commander
with a prestigious lineage.
1332
01:24:21,333 --> 01:24:22,625
[Cao Cao] That's one reasons.
1333
01:24:22,708 --> 01:24:25,333
But more than that, if he doesn't succeed,
1334
01:24:25,416 --> 01:24:27,833
Dong Zhuo will surely hunt him down
and get his revenge.
1335
01:24:27,916 --> 01:24:28,875
It's a tough spot.
1336
01:24:30,666 --> 01:24:33,791
So what about you then,
why are you still here?
1337
01:24:33,875 --> 01:24:35,458
Same reason as you.
1338
01:24:36,583 --> 01:24:37,875
And what might that be?
1339
01:24:37,958 --> 01:24:40,416
To save the Han Dynasty above all else.

1343
01:24:55,000 --> 01:24:56,166
[Cao Cao] What?
1344
01:24:56,250 --> 01:24:58,666
[Liu Bei] To die knowing
the kingdom is still in chaos.

You saw those warlords for yourself.
1349
01:25:15,041 --> 01:25:16,541
So what?
1350
01:25:16,625 --> 01:25:19,833
They didn't join the alliance
because they truly believe in justice,
1351
01:25:19,916 --> 01:25:22,166
their ambitions are the same
as Dong Zhuo's.
1352
01:25:22,250 --> 01:25:24,708
What do you three hope to gain from this?
Tell me the truth!
1353
01:25:24,791 --> 01:25:25,875
We don't want anything!
1354
01:25:25,958 --> 01:25:28,333
It's our noble duty to serve our country.
1355
01:25:28,416 --> 01:25:32,041
Also, I'll never let our people suffer
at the hands of Dong Zhuo.
1356
01:25:32,125 --> 01:25:33,750
For the Dynasty and its people,
1357
01:25:33,833 --> 01:25:36,041
I will fight to the end!

No, I don't. Do you believe me?

will attack Luoyang

are unrivaled, so watch yourself.

Outside the walls,
we'll face Lu Bu's 30,000 cavalries.

This is a fight to the death.

Your commanders have abandoned you!

So, now you will join with us
and guard this place.

but I assure you it isn't.

General.
1625
01:46:23,625 --> 01:46:25,000
Dong Zhuo fled the city
1626
01:46:25,083 --> 01:46:27,250
and is headed to Chang'an
with His Majesty.
1627
01:46:27,333 --> 01:46:29,958
Sun Jian didn't wait
for Commander Yuan's orders,
1628
01:46:30,041 --> 01:46:32,541
he went to Luoyang
and stole the imperial jade seal.
1629
01:46:33,166 --> 01:46:34,500
Should we pursue him?
1630
01:46:36,875 --> 01:46:37,958
[chuckles]
1631
01:46:39,916 --> 01:46:42,541
The imperial seal is merely symbolic.
1632
01:46:43,500 --> 01:46:47,208
Saving the Emperor is our only concern.
1633
01:47:02,416 --> 01:47:04,541
[sombre music plays]
1634
01:47:06,958 --> 01:47:07,833
[Wang Yun] Diao Chan.
1635
01:47:10,000 --> 01:47:11,000
You're thinking too much.
1636
01:47:11,666 --> 01:47:13,958
Dong Zhuo adores you.
1637
01:47:15,000 --> 01:47:16,666
Seize this opportunity
1638
01:47:17,625 --> 01:47:19,250
and destroy that bastard.
1639
01:47:19,333 --> 01:47:20,416
Yes, I know.
1640
01:47:21,375 --> 01:47:22,625
And I will.
1641
01:47:29,750 --> 01:47:33,750
[soldier] My lord, only Sun and our troops
fought to the end and survived,
1642
01:47:33,833 --> 01:47:37,791
but yet you let Sun Jian
enter Luoyang first.
1643
01:47:38,375 --> 01:47:40,458
That makes him Grand Chief Controller.
1644
01:47:41,625 --> 01:47:43,583
Why forfeit your rightful title?
1645
01:47:44,125 --> 01:47:45,458
It doesn't make sense.
1646
01:47:45,541 --> 01:47:47,458
[chuckling]
1647
01:47:47,541 --> 01:47:49,250
No one seems to understand
1648
01:47:49,333 --> 01:47:52,458
that the emperor is
what gives the palace life.
1649
01:47:52,541 --> 01:47:56,250
Wherever the emperor decides to go,
the great Han follows.
1650
01:47:56,333 --> 01:47:59,125
We'll find Dong Zhuo and save His Majesty.
1651
01:48:00,875 --> 01:48:04,333
Our nation is in this mess
because its people are not united.
1652
01:48:04,416 --> 01:48:08,666
Maybe instead of joining an alliance,
we should forge our own path.
1653
01:48:08,750 --> 01:48:10,125
Go!
1654
01:48:10,791 --> 01:48:12,625
Follow me, move!
1655
01:48:16,000 --> 01:48:21,416

LIU
1659
01:49:30,875 --> 01:49:33,958
[Cao Cao] I never expected you
to raise your own army so quickly.
1660
01:49:40,416 --> 01:49:42,625
It's nothing
compared to your 100,000 troops.
1661
01:49:43,250 --> 01:49:44,791
[laughs]
1662
01:49:45,458 --> 01:49:46,625
Yeah, well…
1663
01:49:47,166 --> 01:49:48,750
I started with 5,000.
1664
01:49:49,791 --> 01:49:53,083
General Cao, why are you here?
1665
01:49:53,666 --> 01:49:56,416
To drink wine and catch up.
1666
01:50:08,666 --> 01:50:09,875
[soft grunt]
1667
01:50:13,125 --> 01:50:15,166
Dong Zhuo escaped from Luoyang,
1668
01:50:15,250 --> 01:50:17,750
and the 18 warlords
have been deemed heroes.
1669
01:50:17,833 --> 01:50:18,875
[scoffs]
1670
01:50:18,958 --> 01:50:22,041
If you ask me,
they're all completely useless.
1671
01:50:25,583 --> 01:50:26,708
On the other hand,
1672
01:50:27,375 --> 01:50:30,083
who do you think deserves
to be called a hero?
1673
01:50:33,541 --> 01:50:34,541
Yuan Shao?
1674
01:50:36,333 --> 01:50:39,916
Yuan foresaw the decline of the Han Court
long ago,
1675
01:50:40,000 --> 01:50:41,750
only fools would try to restore it.
1676
01:50:42,666 --> 01:50:45,416
So instead, he bided his time.
1677
01:50:45,500 --> 01:50:48,458
Amassing power
while observing the situation from afar.
1678
01:50:48,541 --> 01:50:49,708
He's no hero.
1679
01:50:54,125 --> 01:50:58,416
Then it has to be the man
with the prestigious linage, Sun Jian.
1680
01:51:06,208 --> 01:51:08,041
[Cao Cao] When Sun took the jade seal,
1681
01:51:08,125 --> 01:51:10,375
he exposed his true ambitions
for the throne.
1682
01:51:10,458 --> 01:51:11,916
[soldier] Reporting!
1683
01:51:14,875 --> 01:51:16,750
[son 1] Congratulations, Father.
1684
01:51:16,833 --> 01:51:18,166
[son 2] Congratulations, Father.
1685
01:51:18,250 --> 01:51:19,958
[all] All hail His Majesty!
1686
01:51:20,041 --> 01:51:23,041
[Cao Cao] Unfortunately,
whoever holds the imperial seal
1687
01:51:23,125 --> 01:51:25,583
will become a target
for others vying for power.
1688
01:51:26,583 --> 01:51:29,708
To be honest, he's not too bright.
1689
01:51:29,791 --> 01:51:32,375
The 18 warlords
who wanted to defeat Dong Zhuo
1690
01:51:32,458 --> 01:51:35,166
have returned to their homes
to build up their strength.
1691
01:51:35,833 --> 01:51:38,541
They're hoping to profit
during this period of crisis.
1692
01:51:38,625 --> 01:51:40,416
That's not the worst of it.
1693
01:51:41,208 --> 01:51:44,166
The real reason they want the country
to fall into chaos
1694
01:51:44,250 --> 01:51:46,166
is so they can seize territory.
1695
01:51:46,250 --> 01:51:48,750
Hopefully, the Han Dynasty survives…
1696
01:51:49,791 --> 01:51:51,583
and is restored to its former glory.
1697
01:51:54,125 --> 01:51:58,500
After so many setbacks,
the great Han exists in name only, now.
1698
01:51:58,583 --> 01:52:02,625
This a chaotic, feudalistic era
we're living in.
1699
01:52:04,583 --> 01:52:09,541
So tell me, who else deserves
to be called a hero?
1700
01:52:12,458 --> 01:52:14,208
I really can't think of anyone.
1701
01:52:14,708 --> 01:52:19,250
Well, a hero aspires to greatness,
is magnanimous,
1702
01:52:19,333 --> 01:52:22,625
ambitious, and possesses great wisdom.
1703
01:52:24,416 --> 01:52:27,416
In my opinion, the only true heroes…
1704
01:52:28,166 --> 01:52:29,291
are you,
1705
01:52:29,875 --> 01:52:30,750
and me.
1706
01:52:31,833 --> 01:52:33,291
As a Han official,
1707
01:52:35,333 --> 01:52:37,208
how can you aspire to the throne?
1708
01:52:39,500 --> 01:52:41,083
[thunder rumbles]
1709
01:52:41,666 --> 01:52:43,291
[laughing]
1710
01:52:48,583 --> 01:52:50,041
Stop pretending.
1711
01:52:50,791 --> 01:52:52,500
Isn't that what you want too?
1712
01:53:00,208 --> 01:53:01,458
Deep down,
1713
01:53:02,583 --> 01:53:04,375
you and I are the same.
1714
01:53:08,958 --> 01:53:10,666
I'm nothing like you.
1715
01:53:10,750 --> 01:53:12,750
I serve the Han Court.
1716
01:53:18,875 --> 01:53:21,208
Do you wanna know
what your two biggest strengths are?
1717
01:53:22,041 --> 01:53:23,166
Loyalty…
1718
01:53:24,000 --> 01:53:25,000
and…
1719
01:53:25,708 --> 01:53:27,583
unflinching composure,
1720
01:53:28,208 --> 01:53:30,166
regardless of the situation.
1721
01:53:32,166 --> 01:53:33,375
In the future,
1722
01:53:33,458 --> 01:53:35,375
I hope that we can remain friends.
1723
01:53:36,666 --> 01:53:38,583
As long as you're loyal to the dynasty,
1724
01:53:39,666 --> 01:53:41,416
you'll always be my friend.
1725
01:53:42,041 --> 01:53:44,250
[laughing]
1726
01:53:48,458 --> 01:53:52,500
Our nation will know peace
once I have conquered it.
1727
01:53:53,083 --> 01:53:53,958
[Cao Cao] Go!
1728
01:53:55,458 --> 01:53:57,791
