Chen Gui

What makes you come here?

General

I hear your time is close at hand

I've come to pay a condolence call

Chen Gui

What do you mean?

Lu Bu

You...

Last time when Yuan Shu sent you silk and grain

He meant to get rid of Liu Bei You made peace by hitting

the center branch of the halberd-head with an arrow

And today he wants to seek marriage alliance

He wants to take your daughter as a hostage

Then he is coming to attack Liu Bei and capture Xiaopei

If Xiaopei is fallen Xuzhou will...

be in danger

It'll be done

That is a trick of marriage alliance

Marriage alliance?

In the future,when Yuan Shu comes to borrow grain or troops

You'll be kept constantly on the run if you agree

If you refuse you'll be in trouble

There will be no relatives but fighting

Besides,I've heard Yuan Shu has intention to style himself emperor

That means rebellion

If he is a traitor,you will become the kinsfolk of a traitor

How could the world tolerate you?

Chen Gong has missed me

Attendant Yes

Tell Zhang Liao to lead some men to chase after them

Be sure to bring back Yes my daughter

General Zhang be sure to bring back my daughter

yes

Zhang Fei the bastard

You've stolen our horses leave them behind

Our horses were robbed,General

Who is it?So reckless?

It was Liu Bei's brother Zhang Fei who had robbed the horses

Bastard! That's too much of a bully

Count the troops

I'll fight you out,Zhang Fei

Liu Bei

Why have you come here with your troops?

I shot the halberd-head to help you out

But you come to rob my horses

I've told my men to buy horses as I don't have euough

How dare I rob your horses?

You told your brother Zhang Fei to pretend to be a robber

He came to rob half my good horses bought from Shandong

How you even deny it?

I've robbed your horses what will you do then?

Bastard

You've time and again looked down upon me

You're in a fury for robbing your horses

What can you say about your occupying my brother's Xuzhou?

Beat gong to withdraw the troops

Master

How is it

We've given back all the horses

But Lu Bu

That slave

Lu Bu is making so forceful attack that Xiaopei is hard to defend

Lu Bu is the person Cao Cao hates most

Since you've given back all the horses

Lu Bu is still not willing to withdraw his troops

I think it would be better to give up Xiaopei

And go to Cao Cao in Xuchang for refuge

We may borrow troops to attack Lu Bu

Why'd we go to Cao Cao for help

I'm not afraid of Lu Bu Shut up

You can only stir up trouble

Elder brother,you

Brother Zhang,no more drink

Brother Guan

Are you here to blame me as well

What I am drinking is water

We went to Lu Bu one time

And other time go to Cao Cao

You can beat it,but I can't

Who can fight in the van to break through the siege?

I have made the trouble

I am willing to break through the siege

Brother Zhang

I know you are an upright and outspoken man

You don't like that brute Lu Bu

So do I

But we live in this troubled times

We must be frank and open-hearted

Even when we are in trouble

We have to retire ourselves to serve others and wait for out day

We can't resist our destiny

At midnight tonight

We'll break through the siege out of north gate

Zhang Fei fight in the van

Guan Yu brings up the rear

Sun Qian,Mi Zhu and I are in the center

to protect our families

yes,lord

Cao Cao

How are you,Liu Bei?

We've come to you for refuge as we are in trouble

Well,you're welcome

You and I are brothers

Brother Zhang

Please

Lu Bu is a treacherous man and can do nothing

I'll try to kill him together with you

Today,I've prepared a banquet in your honor,please

Please

Please

Lord Liu Bei is hero of our times

If you don't kill him today he'll be the future trouble

Xun Yu.They're playing the trick of making two tigers fight each other

and driving away the tiger to swallow the wolf

Didn't they do it in an attempt to get rid of him

Isn't it so?

Now this tiger is defeated and has come to you for help

Liu Bei can be killed at one word

Does it need any trick?

Lord

Guo Jia

Xun Yu advised me to kill Liu Bei

What do you think of it?

No,we can't Why not?

Liu Bei is a hero

Isn't he going to be a future trouble if he is alive

You start the war for justice against

the tyrannical power for the people

You can only enlist talents

by your faith

Liu Bei is well known as a hero

He's come to you when he is in trouble

If you kill him,that would mean you refuse virtuous person

Those talented would be

afraid of coming to you

Whom will you rely on to rule the empire

In this case,you kill one person

But renounce the expectation of the talented people in the country

You have to think it over and be careful

Your word is just what I mean I was joking only

Well,tomorrow I'll memorialize the throne

And recommend Liu Bei governor of Yunzhou

No you shouldn't recommend Liu Bei

You shouldn't recommend Liu Bei

He's a hero,and ambitious

If he is given territory under his control

It means you are raising a tiger

Finally he will have evil intention

It'd be better to get rid of him earlier

This tiger has to be got rid of

But not in this way

Now I'm thirsty for heroes

If I kill one person it would hurt

The hearts of the talented people I can't do it

I share Gou Jia's idea

No more talking about it!

In 2nd year of Jian'an period under the rule of Emperor Xian of Han

While Cao Cao was planning to get rid of

Lu Bu together with Liu Bei

Zhang Xiu joined forces with Liu Biao

and stationed his troops in Wancheng

They were attempting the state power

Cao Cao had to pacify Lu Bu on the one hand

While led troops from three directions

ub oersib agaubst Zhang Xu along three routes on the other hand

Report,Xia Houdun

Cao Cao's vanguard has camped at Yushui

More information Yes

Jia Yu

General

Zhang Xiu

Cao Cao is good at directing military operation

His civil and military officials are all capable of fighting

Now he leads 150,000 troops to attack us

Along three routes

So he is powerful

We can't fight him

What do you think I shall do?

Now your uncle is dead

Liu Biao's army can't be relied upon

In my opinion,..

The best way out...

is to surrender

What?

Do you mean

I'll serve under his command

as a defeated general

This is time and power

Time and power

Take the official seal

Lead the way

Any prostitutes in the city?

Get away

I saw a pretty woman last night

beside our house

She is Zhang Ji's wife after my inquiry

Very pretty

But Zhang Ji is Zhang Xiu's uncle

He was dead recently...

What about Zhang Xiu

How dare a defeated general

get angry?

Take fifty man with you to bring him to me

Go

Yes

Here's the woman

Can I ask your name?

I'm Zhou,Zhang Ji's wife

Do you know me?

I've long heard of your name

It's my fortune to meet you tonight

It was for your sake that I allowed Zhang Xiu to submit

Otherwise the Zhang family would be all terminated

I'm grateful for my very life to you

It's the fate to meet you today

I don't know if you are willing to go to bed with me tonight

It's my great fortune to take care of you

But Zhang Xiu would be suspicious

If I live long in the city

The others will have gossips

Tomorrow I'll go to live in the tent outside the city with you

Can I put up such humiliation?

Please clam down,general

Calm down?

Do you mind if someone seduce your aunt?

Now Cao Cao has moved to live in the tent outside of the city

He has a valiant guard Dian Wei in the central army

Nobody is admitted without order

They keep a sharp lookout

There will be serious consequence if you act rashly

Keep this secret,you must do as I tell you

Be sure not to leak it out

Wait until Cao appears to carry on business

and then...

General,what can I do for you?

Hu Che'er

Cao Cao appeared for business yesterday

I made an excuse for having many deserters

Asked for the permission to camp them in the center

Do you know what I mean?

I certainly do

That's good

My plan didn't arouse Cao Cao's suspicion

But Dian Wei the special guard of Cao Cao

He is both brave and powerful it's hard to know how to attack him

So I would like to have your idea

The fearsome thing about Dian Wei is his double halberd

You may invite him to a banquet tomorrow

Make him quite drunk,then...

Then what will you do?

I'll squeeze into his escort and so get into his tent

and steal away his weapon

Then we don't have to fear him

Good,that's settled

You can really hold your liquor drink more please

Please

It's getting late

I can't drink more

It's not easy to have you here today

Do have a good drink

I must guard Lord's tent

Like a solitary leaf in wild wind I wander

Through thick and thin my fate is bitter

I met you by chance in the great chaos

And I'm grateful for your timely favors

Your love for me is nothing but transient

Our golden time consists in military dust

I wish you a long life full of tear

Only wine could conceal your fatigue

Dim,dim is the lamplight

Deep,deep is the ngiht

You forget me and...

Render me into a plight

O,transient elation

Alas,transient affection

Tomorrow at the source of Yushui River

It shall be tasted the aroma of my soul

Lord

Your son Cao Ang and your nephew Cao Anmin's corpses

have been found,but Dian Wei's...

Where's General Dian Wei?

Lard! Hurry up!

General Yu Jin...

What about Yu jin?

Yu Jin took the advantage of the disorder to rebel

He's pursuing Xiahou Dun's Qingzhou troops

Quite a number of them have been killed

what? Is it true?

Yu jin didn't come to my rescue,when I was defeated

On the contrary he's betrayed me

I'll dispatch troops to attack him

Report!

Lord!

General Yu Jin has chased after Zhang Xiu for over 100 li

and won a full victory

Lord!

We followed General Yu Jin

chased zhang Xiu along different routes

And Zhang's army suffered a crushing defeat

He has come to a dead end and goes to Liu Biao for refuge

Lord

Yu Jin

You're abused killing soldiers at random and inciting a rebellion

Lord,this...

Lord!

When Qingzhou army rebelled

Why didn't you tell me first and did the killing yourself?

The traitorous army was coming I had no time to report

Yu Jin shouldn't be blamed for it

I didn't well command the troops

As a result,Qingzhou army took advantage of the disorder

and went to the countryside to plunder the peasants houses

So Yu Jin went to kill them

and pacify the villagers along all the way

See me coming

Why didn't you come to defend yourself?

The traitorous army was coming if not prepared

How to defeat the emeny?

You were not afraid of being wronged,were you?

It's nothing to defend myself

But it's important to defeat the enemy

Lord!

Amidst pressing affairs,you could lead the army to the enemy

But were not upset by slender You won the final battle

Even those well known generals in ancient times...

Could hardly match you

Lord!

Cao Cao lost not only his favorite general Dian Wei

But his eldest son,Cao Ang and nephew Cao Anmin

Fortunately it was Yu Jin and other generals who come to his rescue

He could come from behind to win battle & turn danger into safety

In the third year of Jian'an period Yuan Shu styled himself emperor

Cao Cao,informed of it, led 170,000 men in person

Joined the force with Sun Ce of the Jiangdong

Liu Bei of Yuzhou & Lu Bu of Xuzhou to punish Yuan Shu

Tightly besieged by the troops of the lords

He had to cross the Huai River & went southward with his treasures

Li Feng was left behind to defend Shouchun

Cao Cao was facing another storming of heavily fierce fight position

Tell Wang Hou,official in charge of grain supply

to come to me immediately

Yes

Lord.

Sit down,Please!

Thank you.

Wang Hou

How much left of those one million Dou of grain

borrowed from Sun Ce?

Not much left.We have as many as 170,000 men

You may distribute grain with small Hu

for a pressing matter of the moment

What if there are complaints in the army?

I have my way out

It's enough only for three days

even with small Hu to distribute grain

Three days?

Yes

All right.

Yes

Three days

Whose idea is it to distribute grain with small Hu?

Why should they pocket soldiers portion?

Whose idea is it?

Whose idea?

Beat him?

Lord!

Lord come & have a look complaints are heard everywhere

about the distribution of grain with small Hu

They all say you're bullying them

Try to find some way out

Otherwise there'll be mutiny

I want to borrow one thing from you to silence the army

You should do it without stint

Without stint?

I don't know what you want to borrow from me

Your head,to be put before the public

What?

I'm innocent! How can you...

I know you're innocent

but there'll be mutiny if I don't kill you

After your death

I'll support your family You don't have to worry about it

Lord!

Guard

Wang Hou has stolen grain intentionally

by using small Hu he should be..

Executed under the militancy law

Yes

Is it he?

The official in charge of grain depot?

Is it he?

Kill him!

Goodbye,lord!
