In the 19th year of Jina'an Period
(214 A D)

Liu Bei took possession of Yizhou
and became its governor

He conferred gifts on the inferior
officers who joined him

confirming their ranks and titles

The contents of the granaries were
distributed to the common people

and banquets were given to the army

All subordinates in Jingzhou and
Xiangyang received promotion

Soon the minds of officials, people
and army in Yizhou were all at rest

Special messenger was
sent to Jingzhou to

grant gold and silk of Shu to Guan Yu
who was defending the district there

Liu Zhang invited wolf into Sichuan
and caused himself much trouble

But Liu Bei once promised to return
Jingzhou when took West Shu

Now he has captured the districts

but not a single word the return of
Jingzhou is mentioned. It's annoying

Liu Bei is an ambitious man.

Now that he has taken West Shu

I'm afraid he'll soon have the
intention to invade Jingzhou

Jingzhou is on the upper reach of
the Yangzi River

He can come down to attack us at
any time along the river

Naturally, Liu Bei will not give up
such an important strategic place

It seems we have to launcha war to
take back Jingzhou

Please, it's restored in our land
It's not proper to have war now

Zhao have one plan

I've a scheme to make Liu Bei offer
Jingzhou with both hands voluntarily

What's your good plan?

The one man whom Liu Bei relies on
most is Zhege Liang

now his brother Zhuge Jin is
in your service

All you have to do is to
seize his whole family

Send him to West Shu
to persuade his brother

asking Liu Bei to return Jingzhou

If he refuses his family will
be put to death

Zhuge Liang won't be able to resist
the claims of brotherhood then

Jingzhou will be returned to us

But Zhuge Jin is a loyal
and true man

I can't bear to lay hands
on his family

You can tell him the scheme frankly
that will set his mind at rest

Is it possible to let Zhege Jin to
Chengdu without seizing his family

No, in that case there might be
some flaws which will be

discovered by Zhuge Liang when
Zhuge Jin plays tricks before him

Well you can do as you plan

Yes

My lord

Military counselor

Guan Ping has just come here
from Jingzhou

He said his father had learnt Ma Chao
is an extraordinary warrior

He's anxious to come here to have a
trial of strength with Ma Chao

If Guan Yu were to come and fight
I'm afraid they would not survive

Besides, what if something goes
wrong in Jingzhou

Have you any good idea for this
urgent matter?

There is nothing to be anxious
about, I'll write a letter to him

Nothing will happen

Please lose no time to
write the letter

Lord

Please have a look at the letter

You know Guan Yu thoroughly
I'm not your equal

Tell Guan Ping to go back
immediately to Jingzhou with letter

to prevent his father
from coming here

Guard

Lord, Zhuge Jin has come here

What? Say again

Zhuge Jin has come here

Send him to the guest house first

Yes

What do you think your brother
has come here for?

He's come to force the return
of Jingzhou

Return of Jingzhou?

I don't mind if someone else comes
but now your brother is here

What shall I answer him?

I'll go and meet my brother first
to find out the truth and then

Elder brother

Younger brother

Elder brother

Younger brother

Please accept my respects

Stand up please, my brother

Sit down please

How are my sister-in-law
and nephew lately

Brother why so sad

Your sister-in-law and
nephew will die

I think you come for the matter of
the return of Jingzhou?

The Marquis of Wu has seized your
family. How can I bear it calmly?

But don't be anxious, brother, I'll
find some way out of the difficulty

Is it true?

How can I get you into trouble?

I can't bear to know my sister-in-law
and nephew are suffering

Younger brother

Elder brother

It's really outrageous

Sun Quan married his sister to me

But he took the advantage of my
absence in Jingzhou

to steal away his sister

I find it hard to bear his behavior

When I'm just going to lead my army
to take vengeance

is it likely he will get
Jingzhou of me?

Lord

The Marquis of Wu has seized
my brother's family

and he'll put them all to death
if the land is not given up

Can I remain alive if such a fate
befalls them I beg you for my sake

to give back Jingzhou and prevent
breach between my brother and me

I hope you'll have mercy on the
innocent and return Jingzhou

Stand up please

Master! Since things are so

For the sake of
my military counselor

I'll return half of the district

Giving up Changsha, Guiyang
and Linling

To Sun Quan

As you've agreed please write a
letter ordering Guan Yu

to yield those three cities

Thank you very much
imperial uncle

When you see my brother, you must
use most gracious words to him

for his nature is as a fierce fire
Even I'm afraid of him

Be careful

I will be careful

It's not difficult for me
to write the letter.

What if Guan Yu will return cities
to Dongwu when he reads my letter?

Is it possible we'll fool ourselves
And all previous efforts are wasted

Guan Yu's personality is different
from Zhang Fei

if your letter orders him to take
three cities of Dongwu

he's certain to do it immediately

But you want him to return the
three cities to Dongwu

he'll not do it
without careful consideration

But it's too far from here

We'll make a big mistake if
anything goes wrong

Guan Yu has a rather good knowledge
of military strategy

He knows well the importance
of Jingzhou

Besides he's rather arrogant

he will never easily give away
the land to the other

And you may use mild words
in your letter

with no fixed limit of time

Guan Yu will certainly know the
meaning behind it

You can be rest assured

Alright, let me write it

My respects to father

Pay respects to his excellency
Xiang Lang and Ma Liang

My respects to you, your excellency
Xiang. My respects to General Ma

You must be tired after
the long journey

Ping

How are you two uncles and
the military counselor?

They're all well

Well, did you mention my advice of
have trial of strength with Ma Chao

Here is a letter from the military
counselor, please read it

In my opinion, Ma Chao is unusually
brave and bold, but he is only of

the class of Jing Bu and Peng Yue

Zhuge Liang knows me thoroughly

Please read it

The imperial uncle has promised

to return Changsha, Guiyang and
Linling to Dongwu

I hope you'll hand them over at
once and let me return

Here is the letter from the
imperial uncle. Please read it

We swore in the Peach Garden

To support the Han Dynasty

Jingzhou is a part
of Han's territory

I'm ordered to guard this district

How can it be given to another?

When a general is in the field
he receives no orders of his lord

But this time is different

The Marquis of Wu has laid hands
on my family

They'll be put to death if Jingzhou
is not returned

I ask for your pity, General

This is but Sun Quan's scheme
it can't deceive me

General, why are you so pitiless?

Let's have no more
This sword is pitiless

General

Father, I beg you not to be angry
for the sake of military counselor

If not for my respects for military
counselor you could never go back

See him off

General Guan

Father

I've been thinking it over
and over in my mind

What?

The letter from my uncle has idea
to return three cities to Dongwu

Are you going against orders if you
refuse to return them to Dongwu?

You're still young and ignorant

How can you know
meaning behind it?

Your uncle's real intention is to
refuse the return of the districts

I'll go against the orders if I
agree to return

I really can't understand it
May I have your instruction?

Sun Quan sent nobody else but Zhuge
Jin to force us to return Jingzhou

He wanted to make use of
their brotherhood

and cause trouble to
the military counselor

Your uncle couldn't refuse it for
the sake of military counselor

He had to pretend to promise and
let me refuse Zhuge Jin

Jingzhou is an important district
how can your uncle give to another?

It's your uncle's letter, but it's
Zhuge Liang's scheme in fact

Oh, you've returned

so you're here to thank me
for the return of the three cities

Imperial uncle, Guan Yu

Refused to hand them over

How is it possible?

I handed him your letter and begged
him to have pity on me

But he not only fell out and
refused to hand them over

but insulted me
and drove me out

My brother is hasty and
had-tempered. Come on

Don't be so sad
Take a seat please

Imperial uncle please

Sit down

I reply on you to decide and
try to persuade General Guan

Guan Yu is upright and it's
difficult to argue with him

I can do nothing about him

and now your brother Zhuge Liang
is away on an inspection

As thing are so, may I ask you to
go back for the present

When I take Dong Shu and Hanzhong
will transfer Guan Yu to another

post and then I may be able to
return Jingzhou

What do you think of it?

Imperial uncle

It's outrageous

You've got nothing but only
some empty words

This running to and fro is nothing
more than a Zhuge Liang's trick

No, nothing of the kind, Zhuge Liang
interceded with tears

and obtained the promise to return
the three cities first

It was Guan Yu who spoiled all

Since Liu Bei said he would return
three cities first

I may send officials to take over
their administration

Let's see what he can do

That's a good idea

Lord

What happened?

Lord

We went to Changsha, Guiyang and
Linling to take office

but only one day later we were
driven back by Guan Yu

We were nearly killed, fortunately
we ran away hastily

Lord

That's enough

Guan Yu, bastard

You've gone too far

Guard

Yes

Go immediately to Lukou
to summon Lu Su here

Yes

You're Liu Bei's guarantor in this
matter, you asked me to

lend Jingzhou to Liu Bei who
promised to return when he took Shu

Now Liu Bei has broken his faith
Guan Yu refused to hand them over

You're the chief commander

and the guarantor as well
Have you any good idea?

I've been uneasy these days

I've thought out a plan and was
just going to tell you

What's your plan?

I have camps at Lukou which is
just opposite bank to Jingzhou

We may invite Guan Yu to a
banquet there

Try to persuade him

if he refuses, we can have some
assassins ready to kill him

Jingzhou will be captured, if he
refuses to come to the banquet

we must send troops for a showdown
and recover Jingzhou

Well, I approve

You may do as you plan

Yes

Lord, it shouldn't be done

Why?

Guan Yu is too bold

and not at all
like common man

If anything goes wrong, the plan
will fail and result in more harm

Then when can I expect to get my
Jingzhou if we're so hesitant?

Father

Lu Su of Dongwu has sent a
messenger here

General Guan

Chief Commander Lu invites you to
attend a banquet tomorrow

You'll meet him at
Lingjiang Pavilion

Since Lu Su invites me to a banquet
you may go back and tell him

I will be there tomorrow on time

Yes

Guan Ping, come on. Let's go on
playing chess

Father, Lu Su has ill intention
to invite you to a banquet

Why did you promise to go?

Do you think I don't know?

This has all come out of my refusal
to yield those three cities

They're going to try coercion
at this banquet

if I refuse
they'll think I'm afraid of them

I'll go in a small boat with my
personal guards of a few

I'll go there alone but armed see
whether Lu Su dares to come near me

But father, why do you risk your
priceless self in the den of tiger?

I think you're not giving due
importance to my uncle's charge

Besides, there is a river between
us, in case something goes wrong

How will you deal with it alone?

I've been in the midst of many and
imminent dangers all alone

and have been careless of them

Do you think I'll begin to show
fear before a few rats as those?

There is some reason in the young
general's worries

Although Lu Su has a great repute

yet the situation is now so urgent

It's unavoidable that he may have
some ill-intention

You must think it over
and be careful

In the days of the Warring Period
Lin Xiangru of the State of Zhao

was too weak to tie up a chicken

He let jade returned completely to
owner and became famous in history

I learned the art of war and faced
many number of enemies

I've given my words and shall I
withdraw from it?

If you must go
at least get prepared

Just in case

Ping

Choose ten fast boats and 500 good
marine waiting for me on the river

And you'll cross the river when
I give you order

Yes

Guan Yu is not an ignorant person

I invited him to cross the river
he couldn't but have suspicious

How can he come without his men

It's good if he has men with him

I've long heard of him, but I've
never met him

I'll see his bravery tomorrow

Look

If Guan Yu comes with a force

Gan Ning and I will be in readiness
for him by the riverside

And we would come out for capturing
Guan Yu when you give us order

If he has no force with him

fifty assassins will lay an ambush
at the back of Linjiang Pavilion

They will fall on him when you
give the signal

It seemed a fight will be
broken out

Chief Commander

Look

The happy river wind is
pushing the boat

Tossing waves add to lofyly
aspirations a lot

The dragon's lair and the tiger's
den, why fear?

Gone through the forest of swords
and halberds, I know no tear

Not that I belittle other heroes

I'm well versed in
The Spring and Autumn Annals

The code of brotherhood
is valued greatly

Much weight is attached to
faith and loyalty

In the Peach Garden,
we three swore brotherhood

I was determined to right wrongs
with my halberd

I was determined to right wrongs
with my halberd

I was determined to right wrongs
with my halberd

And my life's to the populace
at large to contribute

You must listen to my signal and
can't act rashly

Yes

Only some towel and sailors

How bold Guan Yu is, doesn't he
fear to die?

Fear to die? Thinking about his
achievements he killed Hua Xiong

Yan Liang and Wen Chou, and passed
5 gateways without match

just like a superman with prestige
you will see later

General Guan, how are you
getting on?

Thank you for your kind invitation

I have the honor to have you here

We're glad to meet you

Please

Please

Please

General Gan don't be reckless

What sort of outstanding ability
Guan Yu has?

He's come with only no
more than ten men

He is even so arrogant as he thinks
there are no able men in Jiangdong

I'd like to try him. Wait!

General Gan

Even if you want, 50 assassins are
enough to deal with these 2 persons

Let's see whether the chief
commander can persuade him

Cheers

Cheers

Since zhou Yu's death

You've succeeded him as the chief
commander stationed at Lukou

You don't have much relationship
with me

May I ask you why you've invited
me to this banquets?

I hear imperial uncle Liu has
captured West Shu and

has become Governor of Yizhou

You've been promoted as well

so I've prepared some diluted
wine to congratulate you

Cheers!

If so, thank you for your kindness

Cheers

I have a word to say to you
May I have your attention?

Yes, please

In those years your brother
imperial uncle Liu was defeated and

came here from afar without
a place for shelter

It was I who made my master lend
Jingzhou to him temporarily

He agreed that Jingzhou would be
returned after West Shu was taken

Now West Shu is in his possession
but Jingzhou is not yet returned

Isn't this a breach of a good faith

This is state affair, such matter
shouldn't be introduced at banquet

Please

My lord has petty possession in the
east, he allowed loan of Jingzhou

He knew the imperial uncle and you
were well known for your

righteousness and justice. So he
lent you a helping hand

Now the imperial uncle has agreed
to yield three cities first

But you seems unwilling
to let them go

This seems hard to explain on
reasonable ground

Are you inviting us to a banquet or
to discuss the return of Jingzhou?

These are all the facts. Since you
are here, please instruct us

In the battle at Chibi

my brother imperial uncle Liu
braved arrows and stones

and military counselor
Zhuge Liang spared no efforts

to destoy Cao Cao
together with Wu

They all rendered great services

But why did they all work in vain?
No land for reward?

I realize we have
this part challenge

and now you want us return
Jingzhou for you

Besides, Jingzhou was under
the rule of Liu Biao

He and my brother are
the clansmen of Han

My brother succeeded his career

why is it against any reasons?

You're wrong here

Why?

At that time when you
and the imperial uncle

suffered defeat at Changban Slope

My master gave you a foothold
in Jingzhou temporarily

So that imperial uncle can recover
and rebuild his career

Now the imperial uncle has captured
Shu and still occupies Jingzhou

Such greed and treachery

will make world laugh
him to shame

I hope you'll have
a good consideration

All that is no affairs of mine
it's my brother's

I know that by the oath in the Peach
Garden you and the imperial uncle

were to live or die together

You and the imperial uncle
are bound together

How are you going to
get out of that?

Why are you laughing?

Why not tell me frankly if you
want to get Jingzhou

Why have you invited me to this
Hongmen Gathering?

Since you know my intention
tell me clearly

whether you'll return
Jingzhou or not

Only the virtuous get
hold of territory

does that mean only you
people of Dongwu?

How dare you talk like this
at discussion of state affair?

Go quickly

Yes

You've kindly invited me today
but don't say anything of Jingzhou

I'm so drunk

That I may forget our friendship

Some other day I hope to
invite you to Jingzhou

and then we'll talk about matter
O.K?

Thank you for taking the trouble
to see me off

I take my leave

Thank you for taking the trouble
to see me off

I take my leave

Guan Yu, with his outstanding
bravery and exceptional courage

frustrated another plot of Dongwu
to force the return of Jingzhou

That went down in history as Guan Yu
goes to a feast alone but armed

Sun Quan was enraged and he was

ready to send every available
soldier at once against Jingzhou

But at this crisis, there came the
news that Cao Cao was raising a

attacking the south
huge army with the intention of

He had to send all the men towards
the north to resist Cao Cao

and the matter of Jingzhou
had to be laid aside
