Zhuge Liang took advantage fierce battle between Zhou Yu and Cao Ren

Sent Zhao Yun to take Nanjun by strategy

He took advantage of Cao Ren's military tally seized

And has attacked Jingzhou and Xiangyang at one stroke

At the news, Zhou Yu uttered loud cry of rage and his blood came out

He fell from his horse, and he swore to take back Nanjun

Lu Su is afraid of battle between Sun and Liu

Cao Cao benefit, Lu Su volunteers to go to Jingzhou canvassing

Subject of Wu, he came not for exchange of personal feelings feelings

I beg to excuse me if my words might offend you

Say what you want to say

Master and Chief Commander asked me to convey their respects to you

When

Cao Cao led his huge army

He said it was for the conquest of the south of the river

But in fact he was aiming at Imperial Uncle Liu Bei

Luckily, our army defeated Cao's army, thus saved Imperial Uncle

So, Jingzhou and nine districts ought to belong to Dongwu

By a treacherous move you've seized Jingzhou and Xiangyang

We spent money and grain in vain our armies fought for no purpose

While you've reaped the gains

I'm afraid this is unfair indeed

You're a man of deep insight Why do you utter such words?

There is the saying that all things will turn to their owner

Those places never belonged to Dongwu, but to Liu Biao

My master is his younger brother he's dead, and his son is living

Why can't the uncle help nephew recover his own?

If Prince Liu Qi the rightful heir occupied, it would be reasonable"

But he's far away at Jiangxia and not here

How do you explain that?

Lu Su

Would you like to see him here?

Ask the prince to come in, please

I'm too weak to perform the correct ceremony

I beg your pardon

No, no

I'm encumbered with illness

Can't keep your company

Take good care of yourself

I have one word and I don't know whether it is proper to say

Speak out please

But if the prime should die

If the heir is living for a single day "it can be guarded, if he should die"

There will be some other ideas

If he should die, you ought to return these cities to us

You're right

Please

Lu Su, you are so muddleheaded

The heir is in his bloom of youth, how can he die?

If he does not die when will Jingzhou fall to us?

Don't worry Chief Commander

I guarantee return of Jingzhou and the lost Xiangyang

But how can you?

I noticed heir Liu Qi was all symptoms of serious diseases

Must due to indulgence in wine and sex, his case is beyond cure

It is no doubt that he must die within half a year

Then we can attack Jingxhou

Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang can no longer refuse our request

By then, what if zhuge Liang finds another excuse?

In such case

On one hand, your wound will be healed

On the other, expedition against Liu Bei shall be reasonable

People under heaven can be reassured

Our lord lays siege on Hefei but lost several battles in a run

He orders you to withdraw and sand troops to Hefei to assist

He also asks you to go back to Caisang for recuperation

To the west is the natural barrier of Shudao

To the north is Cao Cao

To the east is Sun Quan

We're not a match for them

So the only place fit for our attack is the weak south

The heir Liu Qi may stay here for his rehabilitation

Obtain an edict appointing him as local governor to assure people

Leave a general to be in charge of the place

Thus it can be temporarily kept safe and sound

Then our army will march on southward

To take Changsha, Guiyang Lingling, and Wuling

Make considerate preparation by collecting more money and grain

Which of the four prefectures should be first taken?

Nearest is Linling to west of Xiangjing River, can be done first

Then Wuling and Guiyang to the east of Xiangjiang River

Last one to take is Chansha

Ling Ling Town

Liu Bei, zhuge Liang

Take the southern expedition Lingling as the first aim

Governer Liu surrendered at the hint

Linling has been taken

Who dares to take the prefecture of Guiyang?

I'll go, I'm ready

Zhao Yun is the first to volunteer and he is the one to go for it

Yes

Our Military Counselor is unfair

I wouldn't want any assistance With three thousand soldiers

The city can be easily taken

So could I

Dear brother

Zhao Yun

It's not friendly to contend with each other

Better to settle it by drawing lots

What about it?

Bring paper and ink

Yes

Dear brother

Good

He who draws the one with black lot is to attack Guiyang

Give me one

Military Counselor?

Zhang Fei, don't be angry, though Zhao Yun is to take Guiyang

Still nobody to take Wuling

Will you go for it?

If you had said earlier why such a dispute?

Is it a joke for taking a city?

If you two go to take the cities

You should first write down a military pledge

Yes

Gui Yang Town

My lord

Dare Liu Bei invade us, we two are willing to act as vanguards

Zhao Fan

Liu Bei is of the imperial family zhuge Liang is quite tactful

One million enemy soldiers can not stop Guan Yu and Zhang Fei

Zhao Yun, commander in the taking of the city

Showed excellent courage facing millions of soldiers at Changpipo

The force at Guiyang is small

Better open city gate to surrender to protect the city

People in city can be rid of a disastrous war

Bao Long is also willing to surrender

That's settled

Yes

General, your surname is Zhao, and me too

Five hundred years ago we were one family

You're from Zhending, so am I

We're of the same family blood and from the same village

Shouldn't you condescend yourself it's an honor we swear brotherhood

That suits my nid exactly

Servant!

Yes

Bring sacrificial offerings

Yes

Madame Fan

General, please

With our God high above I, Zhao Yun, from Changshan

Now swear brotherhood with Zhao Fan

We'll go through thick and thin share sorrows and happiness

With God high above, I Zhao Fan, from Changshan

Now swear brotherhood with Zhao Yun

We'll go through thick and thin share sorrows and happiness

Drink

You are four months older than me, hence my elder brother

Accept my respects please

Please

Please

My parents passed away early

I'm brotherless and sisterless

I'm fortunate to meet you here

Another relative obtained

I have only one elder brother, but he died

From today on, I'll look upon you as my born elder brother

Good

I've sworn brotherhood with General Zhao

Pour wine for General zhao

This is Zhao Yun who awed Cao's army at Changbanpo of Dangyang

Please be seated

Please sit down

Dear brother, who is she?

My sisterinlaw her surname is Fan

Excuse me, sisterinlaw

I didn't know you were here please excuse me

There no need to stand on ceremony

Come, come

Sit down and have a drink

With presence of sisterinlaw I dare nt take a seat

Brother

Why did you trouble sisterinlaw by giving me wine?

There is a reason behind it

My brother died three years ago

Left her a widow, but this can't be always thus continued

I've often advised her to get remarried

She said without a person with three qualifications

She wouldn't get married

The first qualification is he must be adept with pen and sword

Sceondly, handsome ad distinguished

Thirdly, he must be of same surname as our own bother

Who can expect such a coincidence?

Your are handsome and famed far and near

Same surname with my brother suit sisterinlaw's conditions

If you don't find her homely I'll prepare a dowry for her

What do you think of such an alliance?

Sheer nonsense

As I have just swear brotherhood with you

Isn't your sisterinlaw my sisterinlaw?

How could I commit incest and break Chinese family tradition?

If you disagree just speak frankly

Why are you so angry?

I'm a man of high reputation

How could I be so mean as to steal a woman?

You

I'm being kind to you and you're so rude to me

Leave here quickly

Zhao Fan proposed marriage to you he is a good gobetween

Why are you angry with that?

Zhao Fan and I swore brotherhood if I marry his sisterinlaw

I am to be blamed by all people this is one of the reasons

Another reason, by marrying me sisterinlaw loses her chastity

Thirdly, zhao Fan just yielded it's hard to read his mind

My lord, you've recently occupied Jianghan

The position is not stable, dare I fail your plan for a woman?

Our plan settled now

Military Counselor and I propose Marriage for you, your idea?

Many women in the world my fear goes for my reputation

What's a family to me?

You're indeed manly

Zhao Fan is coming

Please

Imperial Uncle

Imperial Uncle,Military Counselor has reached Guiyang

But, why not enter the city?

Don't stand on ceremony

We're tied up with military affairs I can't stay here too long

I'd call on you some other day

Governor Zhao, Zhao Yun failed to live up to your kindness

He's his own idea he is not to be blamed

I feel quite sorry

You've made contribution by yielding the city

You're now designated as governor of Guiyang

Thanks

I didn't expect you and Military Counselor to come so soon

You have only taken three thousand soldiers to Wuling

Military Counelor isn't at Ease, so we came, after you

Zhang Fei has taken the city this is beyond our expectation

I fought only a few rounds with governor, and he was defeated

He was killed with an arrow from his subordinate Gong Zhi

So I got it easily

Where is Gong Zhi now?

He's managing his men in the city

I think we could appoint Gongzhi as the Governor of Wuling

Please

Lord, Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei have taken two cities

I'm afraid Guan Yu would be restless in Jingzhou

If he learned that two cities had been taken in several months

He would be sure to come asking for attacking Changsha

Not necessary to trouble him to do the job?

I could hurry to Changsha tomorrow

Here comes General Guan

Brother, you've come just in time

Brother

Elder brother,Military Counselor and Guan Yu

Younger brother

Sit down, please

Guan Yu

What are you coming here instead of garrisoning Jingzhou?

Guan Yu

I've come to pay a visit to you all

Don't embarrass my brother Let's share military exploits

Brother, now it is your duty to take Changsha

Military Counselor, elder brother and Guan Yu hurried here overnight

I ask to be sent to take Changsha

To make up for fault at Huarong Valley. Please give me a chance

Jingzhou is a strategic place and can't be left guardless

That's easy, I'll go there to replace my brother to guard Jingzhou

Well, you can go to take Changsha

Brother,Military Counselor

When shall I start expedition

You should rest for one or two days after a long and hard journey

But, this battle against Changsha is a matter of great importance

The enemy should not be belittled

Han Xuan, governor of Changsha is very shorttempered

He is fond of killing people grudge against him

This is of little importance

But under him, there is a general

His name is Huang Zhong from Nanyang

He used to be in the service of Liu Biao

He together with Liu Pan, nephew of Liu Biao, guarded Changsha

Then he worked under Han Xuan

Now though Huang Zhong is nearly sixty

He is a peerless hero, and well adept at both sword and pen

You ought to take a large army

When Zhao Yu and Zhang Fei took cities of Guiyang and Wuling

They only took an army with three tousand soldiers

This time you take ten thousand be careful with each movement

You've worried too much

I don't think the old general has to be reckoned with

Guan Yu doesn't need ten thousand soldiers

Just give me five hundred swordsmen

I'll bring back head's of both Huang Zhong and Han Xuan

To present them to you

Elder brother, if Military Counselor has some worries

I'll go with my youger brother we'll see his tricks

Brother

Do take precautions, better to

Rest assured. Time is pressing

I've to take leave

I'll see you off

Please

Governor, Guan Yu is only five li away from the city

Han Xuan

It's said that Guan Yu rode on a solitary journey

And killed six generals at five passes

He's unrivaled in bravery and courage

Don't be distressed

By force of this sword of mine and my bow

Huang Zhong

Even one thousand come, each of them is sure to die, follow me

Old general

No need to bother you, I myself can also capture Guan Yu alive

Wei Yan is willing to go out for fighting too

You've just come over to us We've so many able generals

It's not your turn to render the first service

Wei Yan

Yang Ling

Yes

You go out to fight Guan Yu with one thousand men

Yes

You redfaced scoundrel, how Dare you come to take this city?

I'm coming

Governor, let me go out to catch Guan Yu

Alright

You're surely Huang Zhong aren't you?

Since you know me, how dare you come within my boundary?

I've come specially to get you head

Retreat!

Why beat gong to retreat while I was going to arrest Guan Yu?

Guan Yu is courageous general is fatigued today

So I'm afraid you feel weak

Alright, I'll try again tomorrow

I'm sure to kill Guan Yu

Guan Yu

Come out, be quick

I'll have a final battle with you today

I've to use a feint trick otherwise I could hardly overcome him

Stop!

Stop!

I spare your life, be quick to get another horse and return for battle

Why you suddenly fall down?

This horse hasn't been in battle for a long time, that's the reason

Yes Servant!

Bring my gray horse let our veteran general ride it

Thank you

You are a crack archer

Why didn't you shoot?

You're right

I'll try again tomorrow and I'll feint a failure

So as to tempt him to suspension brige to shoot him

It'll be a fierce battle tomorrow Why you drink alone at home?

Oh, it's you

Sit down, please

I had a careful look at battle today I noticed you must have worries

Wei Yan

I appreciate Guan Yu's righteousness

He couldn't bear to kill me

How could I bear to shoot him?

If I didn't shoot

That would be against the governor's order

General

Han Xuan is an unreliable capricious mean person

Isn't it unwise to die for him?

Wei Yan

Saying goes a good woman would marry for only once

And a royal subject can't serve two masters

Don't utter nonsense

Old general

When two tigers fight one is sure to be defeated

Hope you old general think it over thoronghly

It's time to shoot What are you waiting for?

Huang's marksmanship can pierce a willow leaf a hundred paces away

Today he only shot my helmet to remunerate my past sparing him

What a righteous man

Yes Bind him up

Huang Zhong is not guilty

I've watched three days you were still fooling me

You didn't do best these days, this shows you harbor personal intention

Yesterday horse stumbled and Guan spared you,must be in collusion

Today you had two vain bowstrings for third shot only hit his helmet

This is to prove you are in collusion with enemy

If I don't kill you, you remain a trouble for me, swordsman!

Yes

Kill him for exhibition outside of the city gate!

Yes

As a subject of the han

I'll die without any regret

Master, please forgive him

Anyone who plead for him would be regarded as colleague

Kill him

Huang Zhong is the bulwark of Changsha

To kill him means to kill all people in Changsha

You

Bind this traitor Wei Yan up

Han Xuan is cruel and heartless he never values talented persons

He should be killed earlier follow me, if you will

No, you should never do that

Be quick! Lower down suspension brige! Open the gate!

Welcome General Guan to city

Please

My respects to Imperial Uncle and Master Zhuge Liang

Get up, please

Thanks

Brother,Military Counselor

It was General Wei killed Han Xuan and yielded city

He saved veteran general Huang Zhong as well

Good

Guard!

Yes

Bind Wie Yan

Why? Military Counselor

He's a man of achievements why kill him?

Eat one's food and kill his master is most disloyal

Live on this land, offer territory to other is most unrighteous

How could such a man serve his master well?

Better put him to death and further harm can be avoided

Master

You should never do that

If kill him, others wishing to surrender be deterred by danger

So I ask you to forgive him

You would do well to be perfectly faithful to your lord

If not

You'll beheaded by all means

Thank you

Guan Yu

Brother

Old General Huang is a man of bravery and righteousness

Since the fall of Changsha

He's closed his doors and received no visitors

I've paid several calls all in vain

He's asked his servant to tell me

He's ashamed to be a surrendered officer

He's with sense of justice gallantry and loyalty

I don't think he'll come except you invite him in person

Madam, why is he doing all that?

Since fall of Changsha that has been his way

He keeps saying

He feels shameful before the heaven

General Huang

General Huang

General Huang

With Liu Bei and zhuge Liang's sincere persuasion

Huang Zhong finally came under their banner

Liu Bei got another valiant general and has seized four prefectures

Lingling, Wuling Guiyang and Changsha

Zhuge Liang took advantage of Cao Cao's military failure at Chibi

He can't take care of southward movement

Sun Quan's army was occupied in the fierce battle at Hefei

Zhuge Liang seized this opportunity to expand territory

And his strategic plans have been realized
