Episode 9

Luoyang

is hard to attack

due to its thick walls.

What's more,

Fu Yuan'er is a foreign general,

and he's loyal to Sun Jing

as an senior subordinate.

So, Ni,

using force is the last way we shall use.

And the Cui's Army

is watching viciously.

Once we fail,

we'll be attacked on both sides.

Luoyang isn't

an impregnable city.

Isn't Duke of Zheng, Sun's brother-in-law,

supervising war in it?

He's ambitious but incapable,

and he's at odds with Fu Yuan'er.

So,

he's the largest hole

of Luoyang.

Ni,

Luoyang sent a secret envoy

to see you.

Please.

I'm impressed by your courage

for coming alone, Mr. Fu.

You're flattering me.

Fu Yuan'er Provincial Governor of Luoyang You're flattering me.

Fu Yuan'er Provincial Governor of Luoyang

Courage is Fu Yuan'er Provincial Governor of Luoyang

Fu Yuan'er Provincial Governor of Luoyang

the only thing I've got. Fu Yuan'er Provincial Governor of Luoyang

the only thing I've got.

You must be Pei Xian's youngest son.

You were still a small baby

when your dad

and I went to

conquer Yiluo.

When you conquered Yiluo

more than a decade ago,

you broke into their king's camp

and took his head alone.

I thought it was merely a story

when I was young.

Now I see you,

I know you are as gallant

as the story has it.

I'm old.

Forget about the past.

But you're a true young hero.

How dare I claim

to a hero in front of you?

Please.

I heard the things about

the West-Pacifying Army

and the Cui's Army in Bingzhou.

Since

you caught Han Li,

why didn't you

take Jianzhou as well,

but let them

take advantage of you?

Our army

isn't wealthy

as the Cui's Army.

We had to exchange

Jianzhou for supplies.

I didn't have a choice.

Don't you want to

snatch their supplies

as a revenge?

Perhaps you've forgotten

the reason I'm here.

You want Luoyang,

and I know that.

However,

since you're short of supplies,

and your men are exhausted. If you attack,

you can only

help the Cui's Army to take the city.

Haven't you had enough lessons?

They all talk about

your valor,

to think

you're also good at

sowing discord.

I admit it,

but it's true indeed.

If you don't do something,

you may let Cui Yi grow stronger

and give him all the profits.

Then he'll be your major enemy.

Is he more generous

than the Commander-in-chief?

You may tell me frankly.

Two armies are out of my city,

but I owe Commander-in-chief too much.

So it's not easy for you

to breach Luoyang

considering your strength.

Why don't you defeat

the Cui's Army in three days?

Once you make it,

I'll offer you

half of my supplies

and I won't stop it

if you bypass Luoyang.

Just consider it

and answer me tomorrow.

Fine.

I'm taking my leave.

I've prepared

thirty carts of grains,

which would arrive tonight.

It's a gift from me.

Aren't you afraid

that I'll attack Luoyang

after receiving it?

I can still afford

thirty carts of grain.

Farewell.

Han Li is a fool!

To think he lost

Bingzhou and Jianzhou so soon.

I thought his management there

could drag down

the West-Pacifying Army.

But he's more in name than reality.

He couldn't confront the West-Pacifying Army

and the Cui's Army at the same time.

Now

they're marching to the Luoshui River.

So shall we withdraw

part of our troops

in Baiyue?

I conquer Baiyue

to expand our boundaries.

The Yu Empire had tried many times,

but they were always defeated.

If I can conquer it,

all the people shall be my subjects.

Yes.

But we're in a dire situation now.

Conscript then.

Conscript more soldiers from the provinces.

Li Ni may be capable,

but his troops are limited.

I will

trap him

and kill him in Luoyang.

It's the wine from the Western Regions.

Ni,

Fu Yuan'er is really

a calculating man.

He sowed discord

in a way so frank

that we couldn't even

refute him.

Fu Yuan'er

is such a valiant general,

but he's loyal

to Sun Jing alone.

What a shame.

Ni,

how much do you think

we can trust what he said just now?

Send a message

to him tomorrow morning

and tell him I agree.

What?

You'll accept his terms to attack the Cui's Army?

Send a message

to the Cui's Army, too.

What now?

Since we're not

fighting them yet,

we shall take

all the advantages back.

My Lord, you can't pass.

I'm a duke.

Mr. Fu is ill.

Get off,

lowlifes.

Duke.

I need to see Fu Yuan'er.

Duke.

Fu Yuan'er,

how could you be so unchecked?

I've been back for half a month,

how dare you not to visit me!

What the hell do you mean?

I've been informed

that you went

to the barracks

of the West-Pacifying Army

to meet Li Ni secretly.

Tell me,

are you colluding with Li Ni

behind the Commander-in-chief?

Right.

I did go to

the barracks of the West-Pacifying Army

and met Li Ni three days ago.

Great.

You confessed.

Now give me the seal of general.

General Fu,

you're in charge of the army

and governance of Luoyang,

if you support Li Ni

from the inside,

it'll be a disaster to the commander.

The commander bestowed me the seal himself,

so without his presence here,

I won't hand out

the seal of general.

Full of lies.

I went to see Li Ni

to force him to attack the Cui's Army.

The two armies are both here,

it'll be perilous

if they join forces.

So the best way

is to let Li Ni

crush the Cui's Army.

General Fu,

though you said so,

do you really have a way

to make Li Ni attack the Cui's Army?

Well,

he just sent a letter,

saying he'll attack them

this afternoon.

Do you want to

see it with me

on the gate tower?

General Fu, here's my promise.

I'll attack the Cui's Army this afternoon.

You'd better stay in the rear,

how could a leader attack first?

Fu won't believe

if I don't show up.

What's more,

we shall show the Cui's Army

what we are made of.

General.

All the West-Pacifying Army are

attacking the Cui's Army.

What are you doing here?

Didn't Ni say we should fake fighting?

So it's all the same.

Bullshit. You can fight ourselves.

Fight the Cui's Army.

Go get them.

Come on.

Hit them.

Go.

Hey.

Are you freaking blind!

How dare you step on my hand?

Aren't you dead already?

You resurrected?

So you West-Pacifying Army

are just cowards

who can only bully the weak?

Little bastard,

I'll teach you a good lesson today.

So it's you.

I saved you again.

Fine.

I'll repay you now.

Why did they try to kill you?

They were strangers, hiding

their identities,

but I can guess who they were.

Ni.

You alright?

You're hurt.

Cui,

didn't you agree to fake?

What's going on?

I think it is time to

call it a day.

Let's go.

General.

How's it?

The scout says

that Cui's Army was defeated,

Mister Cui was wounded,

and they retreated 15 km

for formation.

The West-Pacifying Army won

with huge casualties.

And Li Ni was hurt by a spear

and was carried back.

Good.

General Fu,

they all say Li Ni was crafty

and the Cui's Army was brave.

But they seem to be nothing.

Perhaps

I can defeat them one by one.

So we can report a victory to the commander.

Hold on.

I gave Li Ni my words

that if he defeated the Cui's Army,

I'd give him half of our supplies

and let him bypass Luoyang.

What?

Give him supplies?

And let him bypass our city?

Are you disobeying orders?

You know nothing.

As the Eastern Capital,

Luoyang's position and politics are unique.

Though we have

enough soldiers and supplies right now,

if the two armies

unite to attack us,

besiege our city,

or cut off our supplies,

won't the Western Capital,

as well as Commander-in-chief, be in danger?

You're just afraid

and lying.

I took the chance to alienate

the two armies,

and now they both suffered grave losses.

But I'm afraid it's a trap,

so I have to lure them away from Luoyang

before making a plan

to annihilate them respectively.

Does it hurt?

No.

It's just a scratch.

Ying.

I heard you were hurt.

Mister.

Mister.

I'm fine.

I'm not hurt.

That's good then.

Mister,

someone in our army

tried to kill me.

No.

I was wearing a mask,

so they thought I was you.

So they meant to kill you.

Who do you think

they are?

Who else in our army

keeps sparing no effort

to come after

you and I?

It seems Cui Li has lost patience

after so many years.

Don't worry.

I know a way

to subdue him.

Ni.

Ni.

You called me here

to have tea

instead of liquor?

We just take the tea for the liquor.

I shall have more

since the tea is great.

Hold on.

You look excited today.

Any good news?

Well, that's right.

It turns out

that the girl my friend loves

isn't a concubine.

Ni, you...

So your friend

hasn't let it go?

A man shall be broad-minded.

I thought they'd broken up already.

You don't get it.

Fine, I don't get it.

But all people can see

that Commandant Ho and Mister Cui

are so intimate.

Even if she's not his concubine,

she must have an affair with him.

Ni,

though the Cui's Army and us

are all on the royal house's side,

I'm sure they are

plotting something else,

and they'll be a trouble to our empire.

When did you know that?

When did I know that?

Anyone can see

that you love Commandant Ho.

Right?

Is it so obvious?

Then I'll lay low next time.

Where are you going?

Commandant,

dinner time.

It's dinner time now.

Taozi,

bring me the nastiest poison

which can kill someone immediately.

Why...

why do you need that?

Just bring it to me.

OK, right away.

Poison?

The nastiest kind?

Well?

You want to do me away

since you know my arrival?

Since you're wounded,

why did you come here

instead of resting in your camp?

Did you

use to fight the battles

instead of your mister?

Of course not.

He didn't feel well today,

so I stepped in for him.

I know it all.

You know what?

I know your identity.

So what is my identity?

I know your true identity is...

I know you are

not Mister Cui's concubine.

I am not,

so what?

You treacherous

little liar.

Here's the deal.

If I catch Duke of Zheng,

I'll have Luoyang. Deal?

No way.

Even if you can catch him,

you can't have Luoyang,

unless your army

can take the city

without our support.

Commandant, here's the poison.

Are we going to

poison the West-Pacifying...

Army?

I'll discuss it with you later.

Commandant,

why is the royal grandson here?

What did he tell you?

What does he mean?

You used to tell me

everything.

But now you have secrets.

Do we still use the poison?

The Cui's Army retreated

15 kilometers after their defeat.

We didn't fail you

in the battle yesterday.

A brilliant victory.

You're a good son of your dad.

You're flattering me.

The royal grandson

was wounded yesterday

and couldn't come.

So he told me

to thank you for your supplies.

I'm a man of my word,

so I'll give him the supplies

as I've promised.

Thank you, Mr. Fu.

Tell Li Ni

to plan wisely.

Yes.

Ni,

aren't those

the grains Fu Yuan'er promised us?

Why are we ambushing here?

I'll perform a conjuring trick

for you later.

What trick?

I'll conjure

a duke from

one of those sacks.

Charge!

Out.

Get out.

Come on.

Get out.

Don't move.

General Pei,

how long can these grains sustain us?

Long enough.

We caught a big fish here.

So Luoyang

is ours.

So he's the brother-in-law of Sun Jing,

the Duke of Zheng?

He's not a good-looking man.

Yeah.

I bet Sun's wife

is ugly, too.

I haven't met a high official

like a duke.

Nice armor.

Cool.

Such a big shot would be scared

into tears by one strike.

Those noblemen of Luoyang

hiding on the carts

to attack us by surprise.

Thanks to

our brilliant Ni,

we caught them at once.

Since we've captured the duke,

the City Luoyang

is as good as ours.

Yes.

Great.

Fantastic.

Let me go.

Let me go.

General.

The two armies

has besieged us.

They've brought

the duke and his servants

to the city gate,

saying they'll exchange

the captured nobles

for the city.

Please don't kill me.

Nonsense.

Duke or duck,

he's not important as Luoyang.

Only your West-Pacifying Army

could do such

shameless things.

It may be shameless,

but it's not useless.

You want to bet with me?

I won't bet with you.

Fu Yuan'er

listen carefully.

His Highness,

our Commander Li said

he'd give you a chance.

If you open

the gate of Luoyang,

we will release Duke of Zheng

and those nobles.

We promise

that we won't rob

nor hurt the civilians in the city.

What do you say?

Isn't it a fair trade?

The duke is the brother-in-law of Sun Jing,

so if you don't save him,

Commander-in-chief Sun Jing

will come after you.

Shoot.

Shoot him!

If you kill him,

Sun Jing

will have all of your beheaded.

Fu Yuan'er,

are you crazy?

Fu Yuan'er, don't.

Fu Yuan'er, don't.

Go ahead.

Don't do it.

Shoot him!

Fu Yuan'er.

Don't.

Fu Yuan'er, you bastard.

Fu Yuan'er,

you're taking this personal.

All the civilians

are watching you.

Commander-in-chief will come after you.

Nice archery.

If it deviated a bit

and shot him dead,

he would've been useless.

I dispatched troops to attack Yingzhou.

I can no longer let Cui Yi

enjoy peace.

Commander-in-chief,

that's a nice move.

Then the Cui's Army

have to give up Luoyang

to save Yingzhou.

Then the West-Pacifying Army will be alone,

so we can defeat them separately.

Send my order to Fu Yuan'er that

Duke of Zheng deserved to die

for endangering our empire.

Tell Fu to have no scruple

and keep defending the city.

Yes.

But how to explain it to Lady Yuan?

I don't have to

care about that nagging woman.

Are Li Ni's two brothers

still in the south?

Li Jun and Li Lai

are both no leaders.

They're detained in the south,

so no need to worry.

Let them go then.

You mean?

When the three brothers are together,

we'll know who's a roc

and who's a finch.

How could those two finches

just watch

their brother

fly high?

Brilliant move.

Brothers have always

fought each other since the ancient time.

It's time for Li Ni to

taste it.

Yes.

Come.

Come here.

Sun Jing made an unexpected move

by sending troops to Yingzhou.

Since our main force is here,

I'm afraid my father

couldn't hold on too long.

Sun Jing did that to

force us to leave Luoyang.

We'd better head back.

It's too late now.

What's your suggestion?

Yingzhou is far away,

if we borrow the roads in Wangzhou,

we may save much time

on the way.

Then we can rescue Yingzhou

and take Luoyang as well.

But it's under Li Ni's control,

I don't think he'll lend us.

Considering our strength,

there's still

room for negotiation.

What?

Yingzhou is at stake?

The source is reliable.

Sun Jing's army is on the way.

So the Cui's Army

must do something.

But they may not

make it for Yingzhou.

If they want to get there in time,

Cui Lin needs to pass Wangzhou.

What do you mean?

You'll lend them the road?

They'll come to ask for exchange.

Chang'er,

go with Taozi to look for medical books.

Yes.

The broadness of the Eastern Capital.

Can only be appreciated from high land.

Looking down upon the plain of Luoyang.

Foreign soldiers cover the whole ground.

Their blood tainted the grassland.

Rebels are awarded by their treacherous lord.

Who are you satirizing

with Li Bai's poem?

I'm just getting sentimental.

Such a grand Eastern Capital

is at war.

There's no peace

and I've no idea when it'll be restored.

Since you rose up,

you should know there would be wars

and casualties.

We start a war to end all wars,

then the peace may be restored.

I just hope

I could recover

my empire soon

to restore peace for the people.

Likewise.

When you told me

that you wanted to

use my men to help you

rescue Lord of Liang in the capital.

I can agree

but you've to win first.

Sounds like

you're playing a new trick.

So would Your Highness like

to bet with me?

I know you're a discreet man,

so let me name the wager.

If I win,

you'll let me pass Wangzhou.

If you win,

we will help you

to save Lord of Liang.

Sounds fair enough.

So how to bet?

How to bet?

It's quite simple.

Close your eyes,

then I'll count to ten.

If you couldn't help

opening your eyes

before I finish,

you lose.

Are you going to

sting me

when I close my eyes?

Relax.

I will do nothing

to hurt you.

So?

I'm in.

But

I shall count to ten.

Even if you stab me with needle,

I won't open my eyes.

Fine, close your eyes then.

and count.

One.

Two.

Three.

Four.

You lost.

How about a rematch?

I need a rematch!

Master,

I heard about this sole medical book in

in the Scripture Pavilion,

may I take a look?

The founding master ordered

that the books

shall not be lent.

Master,

I'm willing to

carry water and sweep,

so please

allow me to enter the Pavilion.

It's all tough jobs,

you're a mere girl.

I...

I can carry the water for her.

Master.

And I can sweep for her.

I'm willing to help, too.

So please do us a favor.

Then please go to carry water

and then go to

sweep the Pavilion.

Taozi, let me help you.

No.

You come to help me

not work for me.

What's more,

why do you help me?

I've no idea.

I just want to help you

when I see you.

You two look like

educated people,

so please be careful

when you work.

Yes.

Yes.

Take a break.

I'll clean it up.

Is it proper to let

a royal grandson to do it?

Since I lost,

let me show my sincerity.

So lively.

Nice painting.

Just name it A Working Royal Grandson.

What do you think?

Nice name.

I suppose it's for me.

I painted it,

so why should I give it to you?

But it's me in the painting,

so it should be mine.

Why do you smirk?

Nothing.

Are you laughing at me?

Nothing. It's nothing.

Tell me now.

Why do you smirk?

If I tell you,

don't be mad.

Just say it.

You just put me near your chest

and carry it all the day.

If you miss me,

take it out to see me.

So I'm glad,

then I smirk.

So glib.

Thanks for the gift.

You're a man

who never misses a chance.

All right.

Back to business.

Since you won,

I'll lend you

the road in Wangzhou.

But how can I make you agree to

help me save my father?

Then you may think of a way

to help me conquer Luoyang.

No problem.

You're so sure

that you can take Luoyang?

First of all,

since our armies besieged the city,

we're halfway to victory.

Capturing Duke of Zheng,

that's 70 percent.

Though Fu Yuan'er is gallant,

he knows too few about the politics,

not to mention the nobles' plans,

that's 90 percent.

Now we stand

a 90 percent chance,

shouldn't Luoyang

be ours already?

His Lordship is so lucky to have a son

like you who helps him.

He's my father,

I have to save him.

But now he's Sun's prisoner,

I'm afraid Sun Jing may kill him

when we take Luoyang.

How about

saving him by putting him in danger first?

Saving by putting him in danger first?

Fu now relies on the commander's order,

so he'll never

save our duke.

I'm afraid he will not save

your masters, either.

What now?

What to do now?

Yeah.

We can't count on Fu,

so we have to

save our masters by ourselves.

That's right.

General.

Emergency!

Come in.

Duke of Zheng's families

led private soldiers

to knock out the gate guards.

They opened the gate

and let our enemies

enter the city.

What?

No.

It's all done.

Those idiots.

To think Luoyang

is finished by them.

I will kill those idiots

and die for my city.

Take the supplies first.

All right, Ni.

The West-Pacifying Army and the Cui's army

besieged Luoyang and couldn't take it.

So Li Ni used a strategy

to make the duke's families open the gate,

then the two armies could enter the city.

Fu Yuan'er had defended the city

with his men for two days and one night

but was defeated.

I owe Commander-in-chief my life.

I tried to defend the city

so I could live.

To think

Luoyang is fallen.

So

I have to return my life

to Commander-in-chief today.

Very well.

Very well.

The empire

belongs to the young heroes

like you in the future.

One day when you confront him

for this empire,

what a wonderful scene it'll be.

It's a shame

I can't see it.
