One mile for two. All regions can be picked. 231 00:17:21,819 --> 00:17:26,240 But your majesty, your sheer generosity knows no bounds. 232 00:17:26,740 --> 00:17:30,100 The state is in crisis. It requires the old Qin people to be united. 233 00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:34,540 There must be no conflict for the sake of Qin. At this crucial time, we can't 234 00:17:34,540 --> 00:17:35,540 make a mistake. 235 00:17:35,980 --> 00:17:39,780 Even in great crisis, the Qin kingdom stands strong. 236 00:17:56,840 --> 00:17:59,800 My lord, you have a letter from Annie. 237 00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:14,760 You are a balance of justice and generosity. 238 00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:18,700 Such qualities I could never repay. 239 00:18:19,380 --> 00:18:23,820 Which is why I must warn you. The six states are plotting to divide Qin. 240 00:18:24,810 --> 00:18:26,390 It is out of my hands. 241 00:18:26,630 --> 00:18:29,550 I pray that you survive, your majesty. 242 00:18:37,170 --> 00:18:38,170 Your majesty? 243 00:18:41,570 --> 00:18:42,570 Abel.

A plan most excellent indeed. 253 00:20:11,060 --> 00:20:12,720 General, you only need to send enough soldiers. 254 00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:14,200 I thought that. 255 00:20:14,740 --> 00:20:17,320 You can't use brute force to divide the Shin. 256 00:20:17,820 --> 00:20:21,320 that two methods must be done simultaneously in order to achieve 257 00:20:22,360 --> 00:20:27,540 And those two methods being the yin as well as the yang. 258 00:20:27,860 --> 00:20:33,100 The yang being the six states sending in their 50 ,000 to face the Qin army head 259 00:20:33,100 --> 00:20:35,740 -on in Guangzhou with our army of 300 ,000. 260 00:20:38,540 --> 00:20:43,600 As for the yin method, we send over scouts to incite a coup inside the 261 00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:46,260 western Qin. That should set fire in their backyard. 262 00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:51,400 This way, with the yin and yang together, even if Qin's capable of 263 00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:54,220 their course, they'll collapse without even a fight. 264 00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:55,760 Brilliant. Brilliant. 265 00:20:56,340 --> 00:20:58,160 Cheer brilliant. Sounds intriguing. 266 00:20:58,940 --> 00:21:05,620 My king and my lords, to conquer the Qin, our approach is key. 267 00:21:05,940 --> 00:21:10,300 The tricks are secondary. To divide up the Qin with the six states, I recommend 268 00:21:10,300 --> 00:21:16,540 that our initial attack is to pressure Qin with an overwhelming army. 269 00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:21,440 What Lord Zhao has proposed was merely a trick. 270 00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:25,180 Despite being a brilliant plan, we must never lower our guard. 271 00:21:26,140 --> 00:21:28,340 How perceptive of you, General. 272 00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:34,080 Well, the Zhao Empire is quite good at this. And I must say, of course, wasting 273 00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:35,560 time is not our style. 274 00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:39,520 Hey, what are you getting at, Lord Zhao? 275 00:21:40,260 --> 00:21:42,740 Are you that confident in carrying out the Yin method? 276 00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:45,640 Oh? Well, I can assure you without question. 277 00:21:46,170 --> 00:21:48,750 With the Yin method, it'll be such an easy victory. 278 00:21:49,870 --> 00:21:51,410 Count on us to join you. 279 00:21:51,870 --> 00:21:55,290 If it's tricks you want, the Yan army's got those in place. 280 00:21:55,870 --> 00:21:56,870 What about us? 281 00:21:57,230 --> 00:21:58,350 Now calm down. 282 00:21:58,770 --> 00:22:01,190 You and your army are still vital in this strategy. 283 00:22:01,470 --> 00:22:05,170 I'm quite sure that there'll be plenty of Qin to go around, right? To keep 284 00:22:05,170 --> 00:22:06,170 things fun. 285 00:22:06,250 --> 00:22:07,750 All right, here's to that. Good. 286 00:22:08,030 --> 00:22:10,090 Chao and Yan will take Qin by the rear. 287 00:22:10,310 --> 00:22:11,530 Lord Chao will lead that attack. 288 00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:15,400 The army of four states will lead in the front. Of course, General Pandron will 289 00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:16,400 command that assault. 290 00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:19,180 To the victor, to the spoiled. 291 00:22:19,500 --> 00:22:20,039 All right. 292 00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:23,560 Our strategy is now set. Tomorrow we'll discuss the division and an agreement 293 00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:24,559 will be reached. 294 00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:26,440 Ah.

Liu Qi and the 315 00:23:45,370 --> 00:23:47,130 northern regions will soon belong to Xiao. 316 00:23:48,390 --> 00:23:50,350 He Qi and He Chao will belong to Yan. 317 00:23:52,030 --> 00:23:53,650 Qi and Qin are too far apart. 318 00:23:54,070 --> 00:23:58,550 Now, this won't do at all. However, if I eliminate the other states, you're all 319 00:23:58,550 --> 00:23:59,550 going to have to step aside. 320 00:24:00,050 --> 00:24:05,550 Oh. All right, then.
