Han dynasty, 208 AD.
Summer, Xuchang

( jangling )
10
00:05:06,811 --> 00:05:11,232
Greetings, Your Majesty.
11
00:05:22,326 --> 00:05:24,703
Yesterday,
I proposed a decree
12
00:05:24,870 --> 00:05:27,414
for war against Liu Bei
and Sun Quan.
13
00:05:27,581 --> 00:05:30,125
Has Your Majesty
approved the decree?
14
00:05:30,292 --> 00:05:33,379
The Prime Minister has just beaten back
the Northern Wu Wan.
15
00:05:33,546 --> 00:05:36,966
Our troops and people
need respite.
16
00:05:37,132 --> 00:05:38,843
The insurgents
Sun and Liu
17
00:05:39,009 --> 00:05:41,011
are ruling their own
regimes down South.
18
00:05:41,178 --> 00:05:43,722
They plot against
Your Majesty's Court.
19
00:05:43,889 --> 00:05:45,599
If they are not
eliminated in time,
20
00:05:45,766 --> 00:05:50,437
Your Majesty's Han Court
might well be theirs.
21
00:05:50,604 --> 00:05:54,525
Prime Minister,
please let me consider this further.
22
00:05:54,692 --> 00:05:57,945
How much further
must Your Majesty consider?
23
00:05:59,154 --> 00:06:00,948
I have waged wars
across the land.
24
00:06:01,115 --> 00:06:03,701
Tens of thousands of soldiers
have perished on the battlefields,
25
00:06:03,868 --> 00:06:06,036
- all for the sake of The Great Han Empire.
- ( chirps )
26
00:06:07,538 --> 00:06:09,665
Does Your Majesty
still remember His exile?
27
00:06:09,832 --> 00:06:12,459
Which, if any, among
the Royal relatives rescued Him?
28
00:06:12,626 --> 00:06:14,879
I wonder, to this day,
29
00:06:15,045 --> 00:06:16,589
if I had not eliminated
the traitors,
30
00:06:16,755 --> 00:06:19,383
how many more would claim
the throne for themselves?
31
00:06:19,550 --> 00:06:21,719
( Bird shrieking )
32
00:06:30,311 --> 00:06:33,272
I hereby decree
that Prime Minister Cao Cao
33
00:06:33,439 --> 00:06:36,275
be commissioned as the Commander
of the Imperial Army
34
00:06:36,442 --> 00:06:38,986
To go forth to pacify the South.
35
00:06:39,153 --> 00:06:41,530
Thank you, Your Majesty.
36
00:06:41,697 --> 00:06:45,284
Senator Kong Rong
wishes to speak!
37
00:06:50,497 --> 00:06:53,042
Kong Rong:
Liu Bei is Your Majesty's uncle,
38
00:06:53,208 --> 00:06:56,295
and Sun Quan is the third-generation heir
to the Dukedom of Wu.
39
00:06:56,462 --> 00:06:58,756
They have no intent to rebel.
40
00:06:58,923 --> 00:07:00,549
Whereas you,
Prime Minister,
41
00:07:00,716 --> 00:07:02,843
are not only seizing
all the powers of state,
42
00:07:03,010 --> 00:07:05,012
but also intend to mobilize
the entire army.
43
00:07:05,179 --> 00:07:07,473
There is no justifiable
reason for your war!
44
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:10,017
Although you have
solemnly vowed yourself
45
00:07:10,184 --> 00:07:11,936
loyal to His Majesty's Court,
46
00:07:12,102 --> 00:07:15,230
you will not be able
to convince everyone!
47
00:07:17,524 --> 00:07:21,362
The next one to put down a rebellion
may not be you, Prime Minister,
48
00:07:21,528 --> 00:07:24,698
but Liu Bei and Sun Quan!
49
00:07:25,783 --> 00:07:28,285
He is the first sacrifice.
50
00:07:34,541 --> 00:07:37,753
I thank the Prime Minister
for this wine!
51
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:49,390
The final year
of the Han dynasty
52
00:07:49,556 --> 00:07:51,767
eunuchs and court relatives
struggle for power.
53
00:07:51,934 --> 00:07:53,978
The country
falls into chaos.
54
00:07:54,144 --> 00:07:55,980
Ambitious Cao Cao
seizes the moment
55
00:07:56,146 --> 00:07:58,273
to coerce the emperor
and control the feudal lords.
56
00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:01,360
In the year 208 AD, Cao Cao leads
his army South to destroy Liu Bei,
57
00:08:01,527 --> 00:08:04,905
a distant relative of the Royal Family
and Sun Quan, ruler of the Southlands.
58
00:08:05,990 --> 00:08:07,491
Begin.
59
00:08:08,575 --> 00:08:10,452
Form up!
60
00:08:15,791 --> 00:08:18,043
- ( Whinnies )
- ( grunting )
61
00:09:29,907 --> 00:09:31,033
( whinnies )
62
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:33,327
( child crying )
63
00:10:32,261 --> 00:10:34,638
( distant hoof beats rumbling )
64
00:10:58,871 --> 00:11:00,455
Watch it.
65
00:11:00,622 --> 00:11:03,292
- Zilong!
- My Lord.
66
00:11:03,458 --> 00:11:05,210
My Lord.
You have returned.
67
00:11:05,377 --> 00:11:07,838
Our men made all possible efforts
to hold our ground
68
00:11:08,005 --> 00:11:09,840
before abandoning
the town.
69
00:11:11,425 --> 00:11:14,845
Luckily, most of the peasants
have already fled through the valley.
70
00:11:15,012 --> 00:11:16,346
Man: My lord!
71
00:11:16,513 --> 00:11:18,348
The two ladies
and the Young Master
72
00:11:18,515 --> 00:11:20,767
are still trapped
in the village.
73
00:11:27,107 --> 00:11:29,151
- ( Baby crying )
- My ladies, please be careful.
74
00:11:29,318 --> 00:11:31,528
Don't cry.
75
00:11:36,325 --> 00:11:38,493
( Child crying )
76
00:11:49,254 --> 00:11:50,380
General Zhang.
77
00:11:50,547 --> 00:11:52,758
Chief Strategist,
how does the situation look?
78
00:11:52,925 --> 00:11:55,802
Cao Cao's pursuing forces
are greater than anticipated.
79
00:11:55,969 --> 00:11:59,723
The cavalry vanguard
will arrive at any moment.
80
00:11:59,890 --> 00:12:02,768
The Cao cavalry will use
a wedge formation to attack.
81
00:12:02,935 --> 00:12:05,437
We will reflect the light into their eyes
to hold them off.
82
00:12:05,604 --> 00:12:09,650
Remember, the refugees need
at least an hour to retreat.
83
00:12:09,816 --> 00:12:13,153
We need a thousand more soldiers
for the second line of defense!
84
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:15,447
Leave it to me.
85
00:12:24,831 --> 00:12:25,916
All right...
86
00:12:27,459 --> 00:12:28,752
forward.
87
00:12:48,105 --> 00:12:49,439
My Lord.
88
00:12:49,606 --> 00:12:53,110
Zhu-ge Liang, the peasants
are moving slowly.
89
00:12:53,277 --> 00:12:56,113
It looks like they will need at least
another four hours.
90
00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:58,657
We urgently need
1,000 soldiers from here
91
00:12:58,824 --> 00:13:00,409
to go aid General Zhang.
92
00:13:00,575 --> 00:13:02,494
That way Cao Cao
cannot chase them.
93
00:13:02,661 --> 00:13:05,414
The peasants can be
left to themselves.
94
00:13:05,580 --> 00:13:07,416
Cao Cao intends
to make us surrender.
95
00:13:07,582 --> 00:13:09,501
- He will not kill them.
- No!
96
00:13:09,668 --> 00:13:11,461
As you can see,
97
00:13:11,628 --> 00:13:14,715
the elderly, women,
and children all need our help.
98
00:13:14,881 --> 00:13:18,802
My Lord, these peasants
are dragging us down.
99
00:13:18,969 --> 00:13:21,596
To succeed, you have
to set aside these trivial matters.
100
00:13:21,763 --> 00:13:23,598
These are Han people.
101
00:13:23,765 --> 00:13:26,268
They followed us only to escape
from Cao Cao's regime.
102
00:13:26,435 --> 00:13:28,645
If we cannot offer protection
to the civilians,
103
00:13:28,812 --> 00:13:30,689
then what is
the meaning of this war?
104
00:13:37,154 --> 00:13:39,364
I will find Guan Yu.
Go and help my Lord.
105
00:14:02,387 --> 00:14:04,514
Sister!
106
00:14:08,435 --> 00:14:10,520
( Rumbling )
107
00:14:20,697 --> 00:14:22,699
Quickly!
Bring the horse for my lady.
108
00:14:22,866 --> 00:14:24,910
That looks like
Liu Bei's family.
109
00:14:25,077 --> 00:14:27,079
Go get the baby!
110
00:15:27,305 --> 00:15:28,432
My lady!
111
00:15:28,598 --> 00:15:30,392
General Zhao...
112
00:15:32,227 --> 00:15:35,272
he is My Lord's
only flesh and blood.
113
00:15:35,439 --> 00:15:38,567
He must not fall
into enemy hands!
114
00:15:38,733 --> 00:15:40,193
Rest assured, My Lady,
115
00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:43,071
I will take you and the Young Master
to my Lord.
116
00:15:43,238 --> 00:15:44,781
Let's go!
Get on the horse!
117
00:16:06,261 --> 00:16:08,138
My Lady, quickly!
118
00:16:19,191 --> 00:16:20,775
My lady!
119
00:16:28,116 --> 00:16:29,117
General!
120
00:17:11,743 --> 00:17:12,994
My Lady!
121
00:17:22,337 --> 00:17:24,673
( Water splashes )
122
00:17:40,564 --> 00:17:42,607
Step apart!
123
00:17:42,774 --> 00:17:44,985
Flip the shields!
124
00:17:48,071 --> 00:17:51,408
( Neighing )
125
00:18:24,441 --> 00:18:26,234
Attack!
126
00:19:12,614 --> 00:19:15,033
Let's go!
127
00:20:22,517 --> 00:20:25,478
- Bailong!
- ( whinnies )
128
00:20:42,787 --> 00:20:45,415
Chief Strategist,
where are our reinforcements?
129
00:22:09,415 --> 00:22:11,626
( Baby crying )
130
00:22:22,595 --> 00:22:26,307
- Who is that man?
- Zhao Zilong of Changshan.
131
00:22:37,318 --> 00:22:40,697
Why is there no such brave warrior
under my command?
132
00:22:50,373 --> 00:22:52,792
General Zhao.
Zilong.
133
00:23:01,885 --> 00:23:04,429
- Retreat!
- We can still fight!
134
00:23:04,596 --> 00:23:06,389
Why are we giving up
so easily?!
135
00:23:08,641 --> 00:23:10,768
We are greatly outnumbered
by the enemy.
136
00:23:10,935 --> 00:23:14,022
If we can't protect the refugees,
our losses will be worse. Attention!
137
00:23:14,188 --> 00:23:16,399
Protect the refugees!
That's an order!
138
00:23:19,360 --> 00:23:21,112
Brother, go quickly!
139
00:23:21,279 --> 00:23:24,115
Leave!
Protect the refugees!
140
00:23:25,116 --> 00:23:26,910
Zilong,
take the Young Master!
141
00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:30,580
Retreat!
142
00:23:30,747 --> 00:23:33,249
Attention, Third Battalion!
Hold the line!
143
00:23:33,416 --> 00:23:35,293
Protect the retreating refugees!
144
00:23:38,922 --> 00:23:41,257
Quick!
145
00:23:42,467 --> 00:23:44,302
Charge!
146
00:23:51,100 --> 00:23:53,728
Second battalion, go!
147
00:23:53,895 --> 00:23:56,439
Third battalion,
get ready!
148
00:24:25,510 --> 00:24:28,304
( Coughing )
149
00:24:44,362 --> 00:24:47,073
My Lord...
150
00:24:49,826 --> 00:24:54,163
I brought
the Young Master back.
151
00:24:56,916 --> 00:24:59,669
But the two ladies...
152
00:25:05,717 --> 00:25:08,845
Zilong. Get up.
153
00:25:17,812 --> 00:25:20,690
( Muffled screaming )
154
00:25:33,619 --> 00:25:35,163
- Prime Minister!
- Yeah.
155
00:25:35,329 --> 00:25:37,040
Liu Bei is vulnerable.
156
00:25:37,206 --> 00:25:40,209
Look, the cowards
have all fled.
157
00:25:40,376 --> 00:25:42,545
Dead bodies
lie everywhere.
158
00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:46,174
The rest ran for their lives!
159
00:25:46,340 --> 00:25:49,677
There is only one man
still fighting.
160
00:26:05,151 --> 00:26:07,695
Surrender, and your life will be spared!
Kneel down!
161
00:26:09,864 --> 00:26:12,700
Do not be so rude!
162
00:26:12,867 --> 00:26:14,702
Cao Cao:
General Guan Yu,
163
00:26:14,869 --> 00:26:17,371
a wise man chooses
his Lord carefully.
164
00:26:17,538 --> 00:26:20,750
Why do you continue
to serve Liu Bei?
165
00:26:21,751 --> 00:26:23,002
You still won't kneel!
166
00:26:55,284 --> 00:26:58,121
- Protect the Prime Minster! Kill him!
- Cao Cao: Nobody move!
167
00:27:13,386 --> 00:27:15,304
Prime Minister, why?
168
00:27:15,471 --> 00:27:17,723
If he wanted to kill me,
he already would have.
169
00:27:17,890 --> 00:27:20,685
Guan Yu cannot stab
a man from behind.
170
00:27:20,852 --> 00:27:23,146
Liu Bei has lost many battles,
171
00:27:23,312 --> 00:27:26,065
yet so many talented men
remain loyal to him.
172
00:27:26,232 --> 00:27:30,111
One day, they will all
serve under my command.
173
00:28:00,016 --> 00:28:02,518
Liu Bei:
I have suffered a lifetime of failures.
174
00:28:02,685 --> 00:28:05,479
This isn't the worst one.
175
00:28:05,646 --> 00:28:08,357
Cao Cao thinks he holds
the Dynasty's fate in his hands.
176
00:28:09,692 --> 00:28:11,861
So long as
I live and breathe,
177
00:28:12,028 --> 00:28:17,200
I will fight to end his crimes
against the Han Court.
178
00:28:17,366 --> 00:28:20,494
My Lord, I will go
to the state of Wu tonight,
179
00:28:20,661 --> 00:28:23,039
to ask
for Sun Quan's support.
180
00:28:23,206 --> 00:28:24,999
Sun Quan?
181
00:28:25,166 --> 00:28:28,002
Against Cao Cao?
I wonder if he is strong enough
182
00:28:28,169 --> 00:28:30,838
to fight an enemy
as fierce as Cao Cao.
183
00:28:31,005 --> 00:28:32,965
Though Sun Quan is young,
184
00:28:33,132 --> 00:28:35,343
he has great ambitions.
185
00:28:35,509 --> 00:28:38,346
For generations, the Sun Clan has ruled
the Southlands.
186
00:28:38,512 --> 00:28:42,350
They have the wealth
and strength to fight Cao Cao.
187
00:28:42,516 --> 00:28:45,978
Wu needs us just
as much as we need Wu.
188
00:28:46,145 --> 00:28:48,397
If our alliance succeeds
and we defeat Cao Cao,
189
00:28:48,564 --> 00:28:50,983
then Cao Cao will definitely
retreat back North.
190
00:28:51,150 --> 00:28:54,320
We can then go West
and rebuild our forces.
191
00:28:54,487 --> 00:28:56,072
Once we are
in control of the West,
192
00:28:56,239 --> 00:28:58,908
Cao Cao will control the North,
and Sun Quan, the South.
193
00:28:59,075 --> 00:29:01,077
We will form
a power triangle.
194
00:29:01,244 --> 00:29:04,830
This division of power is
the only way to stop Cao Cao.
195
00:29:09,919 --> 00:29:12,088
My Lord,
please rest assured.
196
00:29:13,756 --> 00:29:16,342
Are you confident
you can convince him?
197
00:29:26,602 --> 00:29:28,771
Eat some more.
198
00:29:28,938 --> 00:29:33,943
The road to Wu is long
and you will need energy.
199
00:29:43,911 --> 00:29:46,205
Prime Minister,
the surrendered generals,
200
00:29:46,372 --> 00:29:48,457
Cai Mao and Zhang Yun
are here.
201
00:29:48,624 --> 00:29:53,129
Advisor:
These two men are untrustworthy.
202
00:29:53,296 --> 00:29:57,300
Please, be cautious.
203
00:29:57,466 --> 00:30:01,387
I trust those who are
of use to me.
204
00:30:10,521 --> 00:30:13,316
Greetings, Your Highness!
205
00:30:13,482 --> 00:30:14,734
Rise.
206
00:30:14,900 --> 00:30:17,653
How many ships and men
have you brought with you?
207
00:30:17,820 --> 00:30:19,613
We have with us
300,000 naval troops,
208
00:30:19,780 --> 00:30:22,992
And more than 2,000 battleships
and boats of various sizes.
209
00:30:23,159 --> 00:30:25,619
Great!
210
00:30:25,786 --> 00:30:28,331
Now we can be
211
00:30:28,497 --> 00:30:31,417
tigers that swim!
212
00:30:35,171 --> 00:30:38,966
Your Highness, here is our letter
of surrender.
213
00:30:43,512 --> 00:30:47,641
General Cai, I see many
grammatical errors here.
214
00:30:47,808 --> 00:30:49,477
I hope your military strategies
215
00:30:49,643 --> 00:30:52,438
are not as poor as
your command of language.
216
00:30:52,605 --> 00:30:54,690
I hear you have
frequent exchanges
217
00:30:54,857 --> 00:30:57,360
with the State of Wu.
218
00:30:57,526 --> 00:31:01,197
Your Highness, I have declared war
on Wu many times.
219
00:31:01,364 --> 00:31:03,991
These so-called exchanges
are limited to only this.
220
00:31:04,158 --> 00:31:05,951
No need to explain.
221
00:31:06,118 --> 00:31:07,870
What is this?
222
00:31:08,037 --> 00:31:11,290
This is a map of Wu that I drew,
taking great pains to be precise.
223
00:31:15,878 --> 00:31:19,465
General Cai,
you took great pains indeed.
224
00:31:20,716 --> 00:31:23,886
Your Highness, Liu Bei has fled
to Xiakou in defeat.
225
00:31:24,053 --> 00:31:25,971
If he eventually
joins forces
226
00:31:26,138 --> 00:31:28,682
with Sun Quan's Wu Clan,
then I fear that...
227
00:31:28,849 --> 00:31:30,893
Then isn't that
in our best interest?
228
00:31:31,060 --> 00:31:32,978
If Sun Quan forms
an alliance with Liu Bei,
229
00:31:33,145 --> 00:31:34,480
then he is
justifying our war
230
00:31:34,647 --> 00:31:36,399
by harboring a traitor
231
00:31:36,565 --> 00:31:40,236
and rebelling against
the Royal Court's rule.
232
00:31:40,403 --> 00:31:44,073
Liu Bei has royal blood,
but was born a poor cobbler.
233
00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:46,367
His whole life is a failure.
234
00:31:46,534 --> 00:31:51,705
Sun Quan is a young upstart
with no achievements.
235
00:31:52,748 --> 00:31:57,086
When a loser join forces
with a coward...
236
00:31:57,253 --> 00:32:00,005
- what can they accomplish?
- ( laughter )
237
00:32:03,050 --> 00:32:05,845
Though My Lord is young,
he shows wisdom beyond his years.
238
00:32:06,011 --> 00:32:07,805
Speak frankly
and don't hold back.
239
00:32:07,972 --> 00:32:10,349
The senior advisors
will be your biggest obstacle.
240
00:32:10,516 --> 00:32:12,768
( Voices arguing )
241
00:32:15,104 --> 00:32:18,941
You say we can fight this war?
We can't!
242
00:32:38,127 --> 00:32:42,298
Hopefully, he has some
good strategies to use against Cao Cao.
243
00:32:42,465 --> 00:32:45,801
This time around,
Cao Cao is determined to fight.
244
00:32:45,968 --> 00:32:48,137
We are gravely
outnumbered.
245
00:32:48,304 --> 00:32:50,431
Man:
How could we ever hope to fight this war?
246
00:32:50,598 --> 00:32:52,183
Man #2:
We cannot fight!
247
00:32:52,349 --> 00:32:54,310
( Beads clattering )
248
00:33:29,678 --> 00:33:32,181
Greetings, Your Highness.
249
00:33:35,184 --> 00:33:38,354
Mr. Zhu-ge,
I hear that Cao Cao
250
00:33:38,521 --> 00:33:42,358
- beat Liu Bei into the mud at Xinye?
- ( advisors chuckle softly )
251
00:33:44,318 --> 00:33:46,987
The defeat at Xinye was
due to my Lord's noble heart.
252
00:33:47,154 --> 00:33:49,073
He did not abandon
the thousands of refugees
253
00:33:49,240 --> 00:33:51,367
who followed our troops
and slowed down our retreat.
254
00:33:51,534 --> 00:33:53,410
How large is Cao Cao's army?
255
00:33:53,577 --> 00:33:57,373
A ruthless army of 800,000 is
invading from land and water.
256
00:33:58,832 --> 00:34:01,043
Cao Cao's real target
is not to defeat Liu Bei,
257
00:34:01,210 --> 00:34:03,837
but to conquer Wu!
258
00:34:06,549 --> 00:34:08,842
Your Highness governs
the vast Southlands,
259
00:34:09,009 --> 00:34:11,428
and has many extraordinary
gentlemen in your court.
260
00:34:11,595 --> 00:34:13,722
If you are determined
to oppose Cao Cao's invasion,
261
00:34:13,889 --> 00:34:15,266
then please prepare for war!
262
00:34:15,432 --> 00:34:17,810
My Lord!
Do not fight!
263
00:34:17,977 --> 00:34:21,480
When the late Duke
was still alive, he always told me
264
00:34:21,647 --> 00:34:26,026
that nothing is more important
than the peace of Wu's people!
265
00:34:26,193 --> 00:34:28,821
We cannot fight, my Lord.
266
00:34:31,365 --> 00:34:33,742
That's right.
To surrender is not so bad.
267
00:34:33,909 --> 00:34:36,870
For the cowardly, in fact,
the earlier the better.
268
00:34:37,037 --> 00:34:39,707
That way everyone
can stop worrying.
269
00:34:39,873 --> 00:34:41,375
If that is the case,
270
00:34:41,542 --> 00:34:43,502
then why didn't
Liu Bei surrender?
271
00:34:43,669 --> 00:34:45,754
Confucius spoke
of giving oneself to justice,
272
00:34:45,921 --> 00:34:48,591
and Mencius spoke of sacrificing oneself
for righteousness.
273
00:34:48,757 --> 00:34:52,052
Surrendering is not a matter of victory
or defeat, but rather one of virtue!
274
00:34:52,219 --> 00:34:54,096
Cao Cao, the self-proclaimed
Prime Minister,
275
00:34:54,263 --> 00:34:57,433
controls the Han Emperor and fabricates
His Majesty's commands.
276
00:34:57,600 --> 00:35:01,395
If he conquers the Southlands,
he will surely usurp the throne.
277
00:35:01,562 --> 00:35:06,692
If we surrender to Cao Cao,
then we would be aiding a tyrant.
278
00:35:06,859 --> 00:35:09,570
Lord Mayor Liu Bei is
of His Majesty's royal family.
279
00:35:09,737 --> 00:35:12,448
His wisdom is known to the world
and respected by the people.
280
00:35:12,615 --> 00:35:15,451
If a noble man, who has been loyal to
the Han court all his life,
281
00:35:15,618 --> 00:35:17,536
fails to succeed,
then that is fate.
282
00:35:17,703 --> 00:35:19,580
But how could he
surrender to Cao Cao?
283
00:35:19,747 --> 00:35:23,125
That would be
an unbearable shame!
284
00:35:25,336 --> 00:35:27,296
( Scattered chuckles )
285
00:35:30,466 --> 00:35:33,218
However, it is fine
for Your Highness to surrender.
286
00:35:33,385 --> 00:35:36,764
At least you will
be able to keep your life and possessions.
287
00:35:36,930 --> 00:35:38,641
At Cao Cao's mercy,
288
00:35:38,807 --> 00:35:41,769
he may let you remain
as the ruler of the Southlands.
289
00:35:41,935 --> 00:35:44,271
So why not?
290
00:35:46,815 --> 00:35:49,693
Are you saying that I am
nothing compared to Liu Bei?
291
00:35:49,860 --> 00:35:53,155
No, Your Highness shows
an outstanding brilliance,
292
00:35:53,322 --> 00:35:56,659
greater than that of most
and akin to that of Lord Liu.
293
00:35:56,825 --> 00:35:59,662
Your Highness is capable
of ruling the vast Southlands.
294
00:35:59,828 --> 00:36:03,499
This alone is a major
advantage over Lord Liu.
295
00:36:03,666 --> 00:36:07,002
My Lord, Mr. Zhu-ge
has come before you
296
00:36:07,169 --> 00:36:11,465
with a plan for fighting Cao Cao.
It would not hurt to hear him out.
297
00:36:14,635 --> 00:36:16,845
Though my Lord suffered
a recent defeat,
298
00:36:17,012 --> 00:36:19,181
we still have Guan Yu,
Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun,
299
00:36:19,348 --> 00:36:22,017
as well as a navy that they command
with at least 10,000 men.
300
00:36:22,184 --> 00:36:24,770
If we join forces with the elite generals
and troops of Wu,
301
00:36:24,937 --> 00:36:27,022
the alliance will
strengthen us both.
302
00:36:27,189 --> 00:36:29,316
Although Cao Cao's
military outnumbers ours,
303
00:36:29,483 --> 00:36:31,694
more than half of his troops
are captured soldiers
304
00:36:31,860 --> 00:36:33,654
and are not entirely
loyal to him.
305
00:36:33,821 --> 00:36:37,616
They have traveled over 100 miles every day.
They are exhausted.
306
00:36:37,783 --> 00:36:40,786
As the saying goes, a worn spear cannot
even penetrate a thin cloth.
307
00:36:40,953 --> 00:36:43,539
Moreover, Northerners are not used
to the Southern terrain,
308
00:36:43,706 --> 00:36:45,457
and they have
no naval experience.
309
00:36:45,624 --> 00:36:48,377
Their abrupt invasion
is destined to result in failure.
310
00:36:50,713 --> 00:36:53,173
You make
well-reasoned points.
311
00:36:53,340 --> 00:36:58,053
My Lord, please do not
fall into Zhu-ge's traps!
312
00:36:58,220 --> 00:37:01,724
We cannot justify fighting
against Prime Minister Cao, my lord!
313
00:37:01,890 --> 00:37:05,561
Our alliance with Liu Bei
will only justify Cao Cao's war.
314
00:37:05,728 --> 00:37:08,731
It is better to take Liu Bei captive
and turn him over as a gift to Cao Cao!
315
00:37:08,897 --> 00:37:11,400
- ( All arguing )
- No! We shall first fight, then surrender,
316
00:37:11,567 --> 00:37:14,319
so that we leave Cao Cao
with a bitter taste.
317
00:37:14,486 --> 00:37:16,905
100,000 against 800,000!
318
00:37:17,072 --> 00:37:18,741
What kind of a war is this?
319
00:37:18,907 --> 00:37:20,492
Cowards!
320
00:37:20,659 --> 00:37:22,870
All of you are
shameless cowards!
321
00:37:23,036 --> 00:37:25,080
How dare you!
322
00:37:25,247 --> 00:37:27,249
We cannot fight.
323
00:37:27,416 --> 00:37:29,418
Your Highness,
324
00:37:29,585 --> 00:37:32,087
I know you have been
concealing your abilities.
325
00:37:32,254 --> 00:37:34,590
The sword has been
hidden away for too long.
326
00:37:34,757 --> 00:37:37,050
Now is the time
to draw the blade.
327
00:37:44,099 --> 00:37:46,018
My Lord,
this Zhu-ge Liang
328
00:37:46,185 --> 00:37:48,103
is determined
to drag us into trouble!
329
00:37:48,270 --> 00:37:50,773
- Don't! My Lord!
- ( wailing )
330
00:37:54,401 --> 00:37:56,570
Speak no more!
331
00:37:56,737 --> 00:37:58,989
I have heard this
far too many times!
332
00:38:09,208 --> 00:38:11,460
Let me think it through.
333
00:38:11,627 --> 00:38:13,629
Let me think...
334
00:38:23,305 --> 00:38:24,681
Zhu-ge:
How beautiful!
335
00:38:24,848 --> 00:38:26,809
The Southlands really
are heaven on Earth!
336
00:38:26,975 --> 00:38:29,311
Unfortunately, with the arrival
of Cao's regime,
337
00:38:29,478 --> 00:38:31,313
all of this beauty
will soon turn to ash.
338
00:38:31,480 --> 00:38:35,567
Minister: Your words had almost
persuaded his Lordship.
339
00:38:35,734 --> 00:38:37,486
For the alliance to happen,
340
00:38:37,653 --> 00:38:39,655
I only need to persuade
one other person.
341
00:38:39,822 --> 00:38:42,491
- Zhou yu-- Viceroy Zhou.
- Exactly!
342
00:38:42,658 --> 00:38:45,160
The Duke regards him
as his own older brother.
343
00:38:45,327 --> 00:38:49,164
The late Duke had also said
for internal affairs, seek Zhang Zhao.
344
00:38:49,331 --> 00:38:51,041
For foreign affairs,
seek Zhou Yu.
345
00:38:51,208 --> 00:38:54,002
He is now encamped at Red Cliff.
He is the right one to seek.
346
00:39:27,244 --> 00:39:30,038
( Troops chanting )
347
00:39:32,249 --> 00:39:33,876
Stop!
348
00:39:35,669 --> 00:39:38,505
Give it to me!
Are you not capable of holding a spear?
349
00:39:38,672 --> 00:39:41,550
There must be power
in every stroke!
350
00:39:41,717 --> 00:39:43,218
One more time!
351
00:39:45,137 --> 00:39:46,388
Stab!
352
00:39:46,555 --> 00:39:47,598
Slash!
353
00:39:47,764 --> 00:39:48,891
Strike!
354
00:39:49,057 --> 00:39:50,058
Swing!
355
00:39:50,225 --> 00:39:51,226
Stab!
356
00:39:51,393 --> 00:39:52,394
Slash!
357
00:39:52,561 --> 00:39:53,562
Strike!
358
00:39:53,729 --> 00:39:55,814
Swing!
359
00:39:55,981 --> 00:39:59,026
Minister:
Mr. Zhu-ge, the Viceroy is over there.
360
00:40:07,492 --> 00:40:09,244
Form up!
361
00:40:20,172 --> 00:40:22,341
One other wing...
362
00:40:35,437 --> 00:40:38,732
The Goose Formation--
not bad.
363
00:40:39,858 --> 00:40:42,027
A pity that it is outdated.
364
00:41:09,638 --> 00:41:12,391
( Flute music playing
slightly off-key )
365
00:41:59,479 --> 00:42:01,648
( music falters )
366
00:42:04,860 --> 00:42:07,154
Give it to me.
367
00:42:16,955 --> 00:42:18,165
Your Honor!
368
00:42:44,691 --> 00:42:46,526
You try.
369
00:42:50,197 --> 00:42:51,865
( Playing in-tune )
370
00:44:25,834 --> 00:44:27,669
Thank you.
371
00:44:28,879 --> 00:44:30,755
Your Honor!
372
00:44:33,842 --> 00:44:35,302
My family's
water buffalo
373
00:44:35,468 --> 00:44:38,305
was stolen from the fields
near the barracks.
374
00:44:38,471 --> 00:44:40,348
Some people saw...
375
00:44:55,780 --> 00:44:57,908
Your Honor, this is
Mr. Zhu-ge Liang.
376
00:44:58,074 --> 00:44:59,993
Greetings, Viceroy Zhou.
377
00:45:01,203 --> 00:45:02,704
Greetings.
378
00:45:03,872 --> 00:45:05,790
Why carry a fan
on a cold day like this?
379
00:45:05,957 --> 00:45:07,667
It helps me
remain calm.
380
00:45:07,834 --> 00:45:10,503
It's the one old habit
I cannot give up.
381
00:45:10,670 --> 00:45:12,964
You do not look like
an anxious person.
382
00:45:15,217 --> 00:45:16,968
This way...
383
00:45:20,555 --> 00:45:22,682
What are you
laughing at?
384
00:45:22,849 --> 00:45:24,809
I am not laughing,
but appreciating.
385
00:45:24,976 --> 00:45:27,979
I am appreciating that these soldiers
know not only how to fight,
386
00:45:28,146 --> 00:45:30,023
but also how
to appreciate music.
387
00:45:30,190 --> 00:45:33,526
- You are knowledgeable in the art of war...
- Just a little.
388
00:45:33,693 --> 00:45:35,612
Yet you say my formations
are outdated.
389
00:45:39,241 --> 00:45:40,325
No man but you
390
00:45:40,492 --> 00:45:43,578
could hear me
from that far away.
391
00:45:43,745 --> 00:45:46,581
I have sharp hearing.
392
00:45:47,999 --> 00:45:49,751
This way.
393
00:45:51,253 --> 00:45:54,381
General Gan, Mr. Zhu-ge
said that your formation is outdated.
394
00:45:54,547 --> 00:45:58,218
Are you aware that a bad formation
can kill our brothers?
395
00:45:58,385 --> 00:46:01,096
I have never thought
of killing my own brothers.
396
00:46:01,263 --> 00:46:03,848
The power of the formations
comes from the heart.
397
00:46:04,015 --> 00:46:06,142
There is no such thing
as outdated!
398
00:46:07,310 --> 00:46:10,939
- This is...?
- This is General Gan Xing.
399
00:46:11,106 --> 00:46:13,692
Pardon me, General Gan.
400
00:46:15,610 --> 00:46:17,487
General Gan and his army
used to be
401
00:46:17,654 --> 00:46:19,614
the most notorious
pirates in the South.
402
00:46:19,781 --> 00:46:22,284
- You cannot joke around with him.
- No problem.
403
00:46:41,970 --> 00:46:44,431
I am impressed by everyone's
performance today!
404
00:46:49,102 --> 00:46:51,479
But this elderly gentleman
had his buffalo stolen
405
00:46:51,646 --> 00:46:53,523
in the rice fields
near the barracks.
406
00:46:55,734 --> 00:46:58,653
Was this done
by one of my brothers?
407
00:46:58,820 --> 00:47:01,323
Soldier: He who did it gave all
our brothers a bad name!
408
00:47:01,489 --> 00:47:05,076
- Find him!
- Who did this despicable thing?
409
00:47:05,243 --> 00:47:09,831
Lu Su, tell me, what is the penalty
according to law?
410
00:47:09,998 --> 00:47:12,125
By law, the penalty is death!
411
00:47:13,418 --> 00:47:15,003
Step forward.
Reveal yourselves.
412
00:47:15,170 --> 00:47:17,505
Step forward.
413
00:47:23,928 --> 00:47:26,723
Lu Su:
I have a way to find them.
414
00:47:26,890 --> 00:47:29,142
Since the buffalo was
stolen in the rice fields,
415
00:47:29,309 --> 00:47:31,853
then there must be mud
on the shoes of the looters.
416
00:47:32,020 --> 00:47:34,356
- Am I correct?
- Yes!
417
00:47:39,319 --> 00:47:41,654
Attention,
Gan Xing Company!
418
00:47:43,365 --> 00:47:45,867
Everyone run to that tree,
419
00:47:46,034 --> 00:47:48,787
around and back.
Go!
420
00:47:51,956 --> 00:47:53,541
Lu Su:
Quickly! Follow up!
421
00:48:44,134 --> 00:48:46,719
I did not drag
those people out today
422
00:48:46,886 --> 00:48:51,224
because I want to give them
a second chance.
423
00:48:51,391 --> 00:48:54,269
The Wu army does not
tolerate looting!
424
00:48:56,146 --> 00:48:59,315
What we really need
is to stick together.
425
00:49:04,529 --> 00:49:08,241
I have failed
to train my soldiers.
426
00:49:09,784 --> 00:49:11,786
I beg your forgiveness.
427
00:49:14,998 --> 00:49:19,043
I dare not!
I dare not!
428
00:49:34,309 --> 00:49:37,145
These soldiers are
difficult to train.
429
00:49:46,779 --> 00:49:49,157
Yet, these soldiers
have great potential.
430
00:49:54,329 --> 00:49:57,457
Things like this happen
because of our shortage of supplies.
431
00:49:57,624 --> 00:50:00,251
You gave us half of your wealth
to help build this army.
432
00:50:00,418 --> 00:50:03,671
Now, supplies are short again.
So how about giving up the other half?
433
00:50:05,882 --> 00:50:09,010
- Whatever you say is fine by me.
- Then it's settled.
434
00:50:09,177 --> 00:50:10,929
Man:
Your Honor! Your Honor!
435
00:50:11,095 --> 00:50:13,431
Bad news!
436
00:50:13,598 --> 00:50:17,185
I told you this friend
is difficult to deal with.
437
00:50:17,352 --> 00:50:20,480
It's a breech birth!
It's a breech birth!
438
00:50:33,201 --> 00:50:35,036
Hold this.
439
00:50:48,216 --> 00:50:50,051
Luoyue,
440
00:50:50,218 --> 00:50:52,011
hang in there.
441
00:50:53,555 --> 00:50:55,515
( Grunts, panting )
442
00:50:55,682 --> 00:50:58,059
- My Lady! The pony still hasn't--
- Shh!
443
00:50:58,226 --> 00:50:59,519
Be quiet.
444
00:50:59,686 --> 00:51:02,730
She can't give birth
with you being so loud.
445
00:51:18,246 --> 00:51:19,831
It's coming.
446
00:51:24,252 --> 00:51:26,337
Xiao Qiao,
what's happening?
447
00:51:28,089 --> 00:51:31,050
- A breech birth.
- It will come out soon.
448
00:51:32,594 --> 00:51:34,178
Your Honor, for horses...
449
00:51:34,345 --> 00:51:36,681
- Be quiet!
- Breech births are very rare.
450
00:51:36,848 --> 00:51:39,475
The pony has not
come out for two days.
451
00:51:41,352 --> 00:51:42,854
What is happening?
452
00:51:44,272 --> 00:51:46,774
Why is there
only one leg?
453
00:51:51,696 --> 00:51:53,323
He can't come out.
454
00:52:00,371 --> 00:52:02,290
What should we do?
455
00:52:03,958 --> 00:52:06,502
Zhu-ge:
The other leg is stuck.
456
00:52:08,421 --> 00:52:10,298
Simply dragging it out
will not work.
457
00:52:10,465 --> 00:52:12,133
He is...?
458
00:52:12,300 --> 00:52:13,635
He is Zhu.
459
00:52:13,801 --> 00:52:15,970
He is Zhu-ge Liang,
a friend of mine.
460
00:52:16,137 --> 00:52:17,972
Step back a little.
461
00:52:18,139 --> 00:52:19,932
You are knowledgeable
in this too?
462
00:52:20,099 --> 00:52:21,267
A little.
463
00:52:21,434 --> 00:52:23,269
I've helped cows
give birth.
464
00:52:23,436 --> 00:52:26,564
Horses should be
much the same.
465
00:52:26,731 --> 00:52:29,150
Excuse me, let me try.
466
00:52:57,804 --> 00:52:59,847
The two front hooves need
to come out together
467
00:53:00,014 --> 00:53:02,517
for a natural birth.
468
00:53:38,344 --> 00:53:40,221
( Horse whickers )
469
00:54:02,160 --> 00:54:04,412
The pony does not have
a name yet.
470
00:54:04,579 --> 00:54:06,581
He was born
in the Southlands,
471
00:54:06,748 --> 00:54:09,876
so he should have
a southern name.
472
00:54:11,085 --> 00:54:14,130
- How about Meng Meng?
- Meng Meng?
473
00:54:17,091 --> 00:54:19,719
( Whinnies )
474
00:54:19,886 --> 00:54:22,597
Meng Meng, stand up!
475
00:54:24,515 --> 00:54:25,683
He can't stand up!
476
00:54:25,850 --> 00:54:27,351
Stand up!
477
00:54:30,438 --> 00:54:31,856
Come on!
478
00:54:32,023 --> 00:54:33,357
Stand up!
479
00:54:41,908 --> 00:54:44,952
I hope we can watch him
grow each day.
480
00:54:51,751 --> 00:54:53,795
I want you to promise me,
481
00:54:53,961 --> 00:54:55,755
when he is grown,
482
00:54:55,922 --> 00:54:58,800
you will not make him
a warhorse.
483
00:55:01,093 --> 00:55:03,304
( Zither playing )
484
00:55:10,770 --> 00:55:14,023
Viceroy, Xiao Qiao looks like
485
00:55:14,190 --> 00:55:18,277
she's the proud
new mother herself.
486
00:55:21,280 --> 00:55:23,825
Viceroy, time is
of the essence.
487
00:55:23,991 --> 00:55:26,786
- War or surrender?
- ( strums notes )
488
00:55:26,953 --> 00:55:29,664
Lu Su, today we are
celebrating.
489
00:55:29,831 --> 00:55:31,499
Let's not discuss
affairs of state.
490
00:55:31,666 --> 00:55:33,209
All right.
491
00:55:36,295 --> 00:55:38,464
Since Mr. Zhu-ge
is learned in music,
492
00:55:38,631 --> 00:55:40,842
why don't we
play a tune together?
493
00:55:41,008 --> 00:55:42,885
I know only... a little.
494
00:55:43,052 --> 00:55:46,347
You know a great deal.
You are only hiding it.
495
00:55:48,683 --> 00:55:51,519
If you two gentlemen
can work together,
496
00:55:51,686 --> 00:55:53,896
then that will be
a perfect match.
497
00:58:57,204 --> 00:58:59,540
- Please.
- Thank you, madam.
498
00:59:02,376 --> 00:59:04,462
Thank you, Mr. Zhu-ge.
499
00:59:04,628 --> 00:59:06,839
My husband has not played
his qin for a long time.
500
00:59:07,006 --> 00:59:10,885
I too have not been so enervated
for a long time.
501
00:59:15,556 --> 00:59:18,768
Lu Su: We still haven't discussed the war.
How can we leave?
502
00:59:18,934 --> 00:59:20,895
His answer is
within his music.
503
00:59:21,062 --> 00:59:24,482
He will fight this war.
504
00:59:28,402 --> 00:59:30,613
I think you two
can be great partners.
505
00:59:30,780 --> 00:59:32,406
His music tells me
506
00:59:32,573 --> 00:59:34,575
that he needs friends.
507
00:59:36,494 --> 00:59:39,497
Your music tells me
508
00:59:39,663 --> 00:59:43,667
that you need
to fight this war.
509
00:59:53,094 --> 00:59:54,762
Prime Minister,
510
00:59:54,929 --> 00:59:57,431
desire and obsession
511
00:59:57,598 --> 01:00:00,267
can also cause headaches.
512
01:00:00,434 --> 01:00:05,856
Have you not heard that desire
makes one young?
513
01:00:06,023 --> 01:00:09,443
This painting must be
by Your Highness.
514
01:00:09,610 --> 01:00:13,114
Her name is Xiao Qiao.
When I was young,
515
01:00:13,280 --> 01:00:16,242
her father thought
very highly of me.
516
01:00:16,408 --> 01:00:18,285
I saw her only once.
517
01:00:18,452 --> 01:00:22,915
Now, she is the most
beautiful woman in the world,
518
01:00:23,082 --> 01:00:25,292
and is married to Zhou Yu.
519
01:00:26,585 --> 01:00:29,296
After I pacify Wu,
520
01:00:29,463 --> 01:00:31,549
she will be mine.
521
01:00:34,260 --> 01:00:37,304
- Gentlemen, you are all here.
- Yes, Your Highness!
522
01:00:37,471 --> 01:00:40,307
General Cai,
your ships are well built!
523
01:00:40,474 --> 01:00:42,059
Thank you, Your Highness.
524
01:00:42,226 --> 01:00:44,353
I have guarded Jingzhou
for many years.
525
01:00:44,520 --> 01:00:46,730
With the strength and power
of our current navy,
526
01:00:46,897 --> 01:00:48,816
- we will surely defeat Wu.
- Great!
527
01:00:48,983 --> 01:00:50,943
What?
The two generals are saying
528
01:00:51,110 --> 01:00:53,779
that our ground troops
are just for show?
529
01:00:53,946 --> 01:00:57,158
General Xia-hou, while we Northerners
are great on horseback,
530
01:00:57,324 --> 01:00:59,785
the Southerners are
experts on the water.
531
01:00:59,952 --> 01:01:01,328
To destroy Wu,
532
01:01:01,495 --> 01:01:03,956
we will need the hard work
of General Cai and his navy!
533
01:01:04,123 --> 01:01:05,457
Thank you, Your Highness!
534
01:01:05,624 --> 01:01:08,002
General Cai, what...
535
01:01:08,169 --> 01:01:11,672
is the best food
in the South?
536
01:01:11,839 --> 01:01:15,426
River fish is the best food
in the South.
537
01:01:15,593 --> 01:01:18,345
Then what is the worst thing
about the South?
538
01:01:18,512 --> 01:01:20,472
The weather is the worst.
539
01:01:20,639 --> 01:01:21,974
This is the windy season.
540
01:01:22,141 --> 01:01:25,019
The wind can often be
unpredictable.
541
01:01:50,336 --> 01:01:54,632
( Men chanting )
Victory. Victory...
542
01:02:18,155 --> 01:02:20,783
Cao Cao:
Six dragons lead my chariot.
543
01:02:20,950 --> 01:02:24,161
I will ride the wind
with the greatest speed.
544
01:02:24,328 --> 01:02:26,747
With all of the feudal lords
under my command,
545
01:02:26,914 --> 01:02:31,543
to rule the world
with one name.
546
01:04:15,939 --> 01:04:17,107
( Clanks )
547
01:04:33,207 --> 01:04:35,751
( bird chirping )
548
01:04:47,721 --> 01:04:49,598
Hmm?
549
01:04:59,858 --> 01:05:03,737
"On land and sea,
with forces numbering 800,000,
550
01:05:03,904 --> 01:05:07,950
I wish to meet Your Highness
at the hunt for Wu."
551
01:05:08,117 --> 01:05:12,246
This Cao Cao really
has some nerve.
552
01:05:12,413 --> 01:05:15,874
What does he mean
by a "hunt" for Wu?
553
01:05:16,041 --> 01:05:18,544
Brother.
554
01:05:18,710 --> 01:05:20,587
Smile!
555
01:05:20,754 --> 01:05:23,424
We will get through this.
556
01:05:24,425 --> 01:05:27,553
They all want you
to smile too.
557
01:05:35,102 --> 01:05:37,396
Sun Quan: When my father
was 19 years old,
558
01:05:37,563 --> 01:05:41,400
he was known as
the Tiger of the Southland.
559
01:05:41,567 --> 01:05:45,863
When my late brother was 26,
he conquered the Southlands.
560
01:05:48,574 --> 01:05:50,951
I am now 26,
561
01:05:51,118 --> 01:05:53,454
yet I have done nothing.
562
01:05:56,915 --> 01:05:59,084
It seems that
my achievements
563
01:05:59,251 --> 01:06:02,796
will never be able
to be compared to theirs.
564
01:06:02,963 --> 01:06:06,258
No matter how hard I try,
565
01:06:06,425 --> 01:06:10,721
those old advisors
call me worthless.
566
01:06:17,144 --> 01:06:18,520
Brother?
567
01:06:20,772 --> 01:06:22,983
You came
at the right time.
568
01:06:23,150 --> 01:06:25,319
He will not listen
or even smile.
569
01:06:25,486 --> 01:06:28,447
My Lord.
570
01:06:28,614 --> 01:06:30,282
What is it?
571
01:06:30,449 --> 01:06:33,994
Cao Cao requests our surrender.
See for yourself.
572
01:06:59,686 --> 01:07:01,939
You have not used this
for a long time.
573
01:07:04,858 --> 01:07:06,109
Let's go.
574
01:07:39,226 --> 01:07:41,228
( Neighs )
575
01:07:53,532 --> 01:07:55,617
( low growling )
576
01:08:02,958 --> 01:08:05,502
( panting )
577
01:08:05,669 --> 01:08:08,088
( neighing )
578
01:08:38,869 --> 01:08:41,455
He is cunning.
579
01:08:41,622 --> 01:08:43,457
Do you see him?
580
01:08:44,541 --> 01:08:47,127
This beast
is watching us.
581
01:08:49,171 --> 01:08:53,008
He is sinister,
playing with his prey.
582
01:08:53,175 --> 01:08:55,761
Is he not like Cao Cao?
583
01:08:55,927 --> 01:08:58,972
Although Cao Cao is Prime Minister,
he is the real traitor,
584
01:08:59,139 --> 01:09:01,433
always ambushing
from the darkness.
585
01:09:01,600 --> 01:09:05,562
In the entire world,
not one person likes him.
586
01:09:05,729 --> 01:09:08,398
Brother, what are
you afraid of?
587
01:09:12,611 --> 01:09:14,446
There!
588
01:09:24,748 --> 01:09:25,999
Sun Quan:
To be honest,
589
01:09:26,166 --> 01:09:28,502
I was prepared for war with Cao Cao
three years ago.
590
01:09:28,669 --> 01:09:30,921
Zhou Yu: Cao Cao claims to have
an army of 800,000...
591
01:09:31,088 --> 01:09:33,507
yet many are
surrendered troops he cannot trust.
592
01:09:33,674 --> 01:09:36,760
He can actually use
only 100,000 of them at most.
593
01:09:36,927 --> 01:09:38,470
Our troops have
high morale.
594
01:09:38,637 --> 01:09:42,474
We have knowledge of the Yangtze
and greater naval expertise.
595
01:09:42,641 --> 01:09:45,435
Moreover, Cao Cao has no
justifiable reason for his war.
596
01:09:45,602 --> 01:09:47,020
But those senior advisors!
597
01:09:47,187 --> 01:09:49,731
They are only concerned
with protecting themselves.
598
01:09:49,898 --> 01:09:51,525
You need not
listen to them.
599
01:09:53,485 --> 01:09:55,612
Your late brother
once told you
600
01:09:55,779 --> 01:09:58,448
that you are a better administrator,
601
01:09:58,615 --> 01:10:02,119
but that he was
a better commander.
602
01:10:04,329 --> 01:10:06,206
That made you
lose confidence.
603
01:10:06,373 --> 01:10:09,626
But he only said that
to make you strive to surpass him.
604
01:10:15,799 --> 01:10:18,093
( Growls )
605
01:10:18,260 --> 01:10:20,345
Tiger!
606
01:10:20,512 --> 01:10:23,849
- Help them!
- Go quickly.
607
01:10:24,015 --> 01:10:27,978
- Get out of here.
- Can you walk?
608
01:10:28,145 --> 01:10:29,396
Are you all right?
609
01:10:36,319 --> 01:10:38,697
The beast is over there!
610
01:10:56,047 --> 01:10:57,591
Go.
611
01:10:57,758 --> 01:11:00,010
Do not hesitate anymore.
612
01:11:31,291 --> 01:11:33,293
( Soft growls )
613
01:12:24,636 --> 01:12:26,137
( roars )
614
01:12:26,304 --> 01:12:29,391
( horse neighs )
615
01:13:04,926 --> 01:13:07,512
( shuddering breaths )
616
01:13:32,829 --> 01:13:35,081
My decision to fight
Cao Cao is final.
617
01:13:35,248 --> 01:13:37,751
If anyone dares
mention surrender,
618
01:13:37,918 --> 01:13:42,589
he will end up
like this table!
619
01:13:48,053 --> 01:13:50,430
Zhou Yu!
Cheng Pu!
620
01:13:50,597 --> 01:13:52,432
Lu Su!
621
01:13:52,599 --> 01:13:55,018
Ay!
622
01:14:04,444 --> 01:14:06,613
I hereby appoint
Zhou Yu as the Viceroy in Chief,
623
01:14:06,780 --> 01:14:08,365
Cheng Pu
the Lieutenant Viceroy,
624
01:14:08,531 --> 01:14:10,158
and Lu su as
the Consulting Commander.
625
01:14:10,325 --> 01:14:12,369
We will form an alliance
with Liu Bei,
626
01:14:12,535 --> 01:14:15,038
to stop Cao Cao's invasion.
627
01:14:15,205 --> 01:14:16,957
Understood!
628
01:14:39,104 --> 01:14:41,982
( Rain pattering )
629
01:14:46,319 --> 01:14:50,115
It seems that war
is inevitable.
630
01:14:52,784 --> 01:14:55,036
We cannot stop
Cao Cao's invasion,
631
01:14:55,203 --> 01:14:57,622
but maybe this one
will prevent future wars.
632
01:15:00,458 --> 01:15:03,003
Just as long as
there are no more wars.
633
01:15:28,486 --> 01:15:31,531
Isn't this one
just like yours?
634
01:15:31,698 --> 01:15:35,618
You sure know how to replicate
my handwriting.
635
01:15:40,123 --> 01:15:42,375
Do you know why I wrote
"Ping An" so many times?
636
01:15:42,542 --> 01:15:44,502
"Ping An" means peace.
637
01:15:44,669 --> 01:15:48,715
So...
why so many peaces?
638
01:15:50,717 --> 01:15:52,635
"Ping An" is...
639
01:15:55,555 --> 01:15:57,390
a name.
640
01:16:15,909 --> 01:16:16,910
Come,
641
01:16:18,369 --> 01:16:20,413
what do you hear?
642
01:16:20,580 --> 01:16:22,540
Listen carefully.
643
01:16:28,880 --> 01:16:30,757
♪ La la la... ♪
644
01:16:30,924 --> 01:16:33,927
( Continues singing tune )
645
01:16:57,283 --> 01:16:59,744
Xiao Qiao:
I have heard rumors
646
01:16:59,911 --> 01:17:03,123
that all the families
are leaving Red Cliff.
647
01:17:03,289 --> 01:17:04,290
When...
648
01:17:04,457 --> 01:17:06,751
when will I leave?
649
01:17:06,918 --> 01:17:09,212
I won't let you leave.
650
01:17:09,379 --> 01:17:11,965
I want you to remain
by my side.
651
01:18:33,046 --> 01:18:35,506
( Soldiers chanting )
652
01:18:38,426 --> 01:18:40,595
One more time!
Hurry!
653
01:19:00,949 --> 01:19:02,492
General Zhao.
654
01:19:05,745 --> 01:19:07,413
Chief Strategist,
you are back!
655
01:19:07,580 --> 01:19:10,833
This is Wu's
Viceroy in Chief, Zhou Yu.
656
01:19:13,419 --> 01:19:15,755
"'Guan! Guan!'
The ospreys cried..."
657
01:19:15,922 --> 01:19:18,466
"Guan! Guan!"
The ospreys cried--
658
01:19:18,633 --> 01:19:20,426
"...from the sandy riverside."
659
01:19:20,593 --> 01:19:23,263
--from the sandy riverside.
660
01:19:23,429 --> 01:19:25,056
"Lovely maiden,
modest and fair..."
661
01:19:25,223 --> 01:19:27,267
Lovely maiden, modest and fair--
662
01:19:27,433 --> 01:19:29,560
"With a gentleman makes
a perfect pair."
663
01:19:29,727 --> 01:19:32,689
--with a gentleman
makes a perfect pair.
664
01:19:32,855 --> 01:19:35,108
What good is reading a book,
if we have no food?
665
01:19:35,275 --> 01:19:37,193
When you grow up,
you will find out
666
01:19:37,360 --> 01:19:40,822
that reading now
will give you food later.
667
01:19:40,989 --> 01:19:44,158
Well, let us read
one more time.
668
01:19:44,325 --> 01:19:46,536
Kids:
"Guan! Guan..."
669
01:20:06,389 --> 01:20:07,807
Great calligraphy!
670
01:20:07,974 --> 01:20:09,851
Damn!
671
01:20:10,018 --> 01:20:11,227
What do you think
you are doing?!
672
01:20:17,275 --> 01:20:20,028
I have always admired
General Zhang's famous roar.
673
01:20:20,194 --> 01:20:23,239
To defeat Cao Cao,
we need men with your temper.
674
01:20:23,406 --> 01:20:25,158
This way please, Viceroy.
675
01:20:42,133 --> 01:20:44,010
My Lord, they are here.
676
01:20:44,177 --> 01:20:45,803
Your journey
has been hard.
677
01:20:47,680 --> 01:20:51,642
This is Viceroy Zhou Yu,
Lieutenant Viceroy Cheng Pu,
678
01:20:51,809 --> 01:20:54,729
Consulting Commander Lu Su
and Veteran General Huang Gai.
679
01:20:54,896 --> 01:20:57,023
All:
Greetings, Lord Mayor Liu.
680
01:20:57,190 --> 01:20:58,983
Gentlemen,
681
01:20:59,150 --> 01:21:02,236
the Duke has helped all of us
by sending these troops.
682
01:21:02,403 --> 01:21:04,155
I am sincerely thankful.
683
01:21:04,322 --> 01:21:05,865
An alliance is a friendship.
684
01:21:06,032 --> 01:21:08,076
Friends need not be so formal.
685
01:21:08,242 --> 01:21:09,994
Dare I ask, Your Honor,
686
01:21:10,161 --> 01:21:12,372
how many soldiers do you have
under your command?
687
01:21:12,538 --> 01:21:15,625
- Thirty thousand.
- Thirty thousand.
688
01:21:18,878 --> 01:21:21,589
Thirty thousand men
are too few.
689
01:21:21,756 --> 01:21:24,258
Our men are too few?
690
01:21:24,425 --> 01:21:26,928
Your army was defeated
by just one blow!
691
01:21:27,095 --> 01:21:29,097
What battles have you won?
Speak up.
692
01:21:29,263 --> 01:21:30,848
I only worry we might
laugh ourselves to death.
693
01:21:31,015 --> 01:21:32,809
So what?
694
01:21:32,975 --> 01:21:35,686
- What's worse than a defeated army?
- What is wrong with defeat?
695
01:21:35,853 --> 01:21:37,730
Better to be a loser
than a coward.
696
01:21:37,897 --> 01:21:40,024
- What are you saying?
- I dare you.
697
01:21:40,191 --> 01:21:43,069
- Brother, stop.
- Brother!
698
01:21:46,656 --> 01:21:48,241
We are not building
an alliance.
699
01:21:48,408 --> 01:21:50,118
We are making enemies.
700
01:21:50,284 --> 01:21:51,536
Viceroy Zhou,
701
01:21:51,702 --> 01:21:53,955
what is your opinion?
702
01:21:59,627 --> 01:22:03,131
At this time of crisis,
you can still weave straw sandals?
703
01:22:03,297 --> 01:22:05,383
This has been
a habit of mine for years.
704
01:22:05,550 --> 01:22:07,760
We have walked a long way
wearing these shoes.
705
01:22:07,927 --> 01:22:09,804
Guan Yu:
Whenever our shoes are worn out,
706
01:22:09,971 --> 01:22:12,849
Big Brother weaves new ones
with his own hands.
707
01:22:13,015 --> 01:22:14,183
Exactly.
708
01:22:23,192 --> 01:22:25,903
It really is strong.
709
01:22:31,701 --> 01:22:34,745
I am surprised that such
weak strands of grass
710
01:22:34,912 --> 01:22:37,790
can become so strong
after you weave them together.
711
01:22:46,007 --> 01:22:48,426
You have a noble Lord
and brave generals.
712
01:22:48,593 --> 01:22:52,263
Generals Guan, Zhang and Zhao
are all invincible warriors on the battlefield.
713
01:22:52,430 --> 01:22:55,766
An army high in spirits
can fight an enemy 10 times its size.
714
01:22:57,351 --> 01:23:00,313
We sons of Wu
must protect our homeland.
715
01:23:00,480 --> 01:23:02,523
We will also do our best.
716
01:23:02,690 --> 01:23:04,650
I have only one dream--
717
01:23:04,817 --> 01:23:07,361
a dream for all--
718
01:23:07,528 --> 01:23:10,573
that is for all
of us to unite!
719
01:23:12,074 --> 01:23:14,785
United, no one can
pull us apart!
720
01:23:32,678 --> 01:23:33,846
I'm here!
721
01:23:34,013 --> 01:23:35,723
Why are you here?
722
01:23:35,890 --> 01:23:39,393
- To go to war!
- War?
723
01:23:39,560 --> 01:23:41,854
War is no joking matter!
724
01:23:44,982 --> 01:23:46,859
You think that I'm here
to joke around?
725
01:23:47,026 --> 01:23:50,112
A woman should share the responsibility
for the rise and fall of the Kingdom.
726
01:23:50,279 --> 01:23:52,323
So should a horse!
727
01:23:52,490 --> 01:23:54,534
Don't go!
Come back!
728
01:23:54,700 --> 01:23:57,328
Don't be like my brother!
Talk to me!
729
01:23:57,495 --> 01:23:58,871
She is?
730
01:23:59,038 --> 01:24:01,624
Our princess,
Sun Shang Xiang.
731
01:24:04,460 --> 01:24:07,755
Princess, have you
ever been to war?
732
01:24:09,173 --> 01:24:11,217
There is a first time
for everything!
733
01:24:11,384 --> 01:24:13,386
After I fought
my first war,
734
01:24:13,553 --> 01:24:15,721
I never wished
for a second.
735
01:24:15,888 --> 01:24:18,099
I think, if she encounters
any Cao troops,
736
01:24:18,266 --> 01:24:20,726
her hands will tremble
with fear, as if she were waving.
737
01:24:22,562 --> 01:24:26,649
Princess, I see you better off at home,
making your flower weavings.
738
01:24:30,903 --> 01:24:33,406
She seems a very
ambitious young lady.
739
01:24:33,573 --> 01:24:37,410
She is a tomboy.
She likes fighting.
740
01:24:38,953 --> 01:24:40,830
Her maids are
all fully armed.
741
01:24:42,582 --> 01:24:44,709
Who would dare marry her?
742
01:24:44,875 --> 01:24:46,085
What are you doing?
743
01:24:49,755 --> 01:24:51,549
( Neighs )
744
01:25:16,073 --> 01:25:18,284
What did you say
to my horse!
745
01:25:18,451 --> 01:25:21,370
I told him that his rider
746
01:25:21,537 --> 01:25:23,914
Is a scoundrel!
747
01:25:25,583 --> 01:25:27,418
Get up!
748
01:25:29,170 --> 01:25:31,005
Don't pull so hard!
749
01:25:44,769 --> 01:25:46,896
( Neighs )
750
01:25:47,063 --> 01:25:50,024
Hey! Hey!
751
01:26:00,159 --> 01:26:02,328
( Men laughing )
752
01:26:11,545 --> 01:26:13,172
You are drunk...
drunk.
753
01:27:10,604 --> 01:27:12,606
Turn towards me.
754
01:27:25,494 --> 01:27:27,079
Prime Minister!
755
01:27:27,246 --> 01:27:30,124
Prime Minister,
a messenger from Wu has arrived!
756
01:27:32,752 --> 01:27:34,128
Hmmm.
757
01:27:34,295 --> 01:27:35,838
- Bring him forth!
- Yes, sir!
758
01:27:40,092 --> 01:27:41,594
This way, please.
759
01:27:48,976 --> 01:27:51,228
Did Sun Quan
receive my letter?
760
01:27:51,395 --> 01:27:54,315
- He did.
- What is his reply?
761
01:28:26,305 --> 01:28:29,308
This page is blank.
What is the meaning of this?
762
01:28:29,475 --> 01:28:31,352
They intend to fight,
763
01:28:31,519 --> 01:28:35,189
So they did not bother
to write a reply.
764
01:28:35,356 --> 01:28:38,484
Have him beheaded!
765
01:28:38,651 --> 01:28:40,319
Man:
Prime Minister,
766
01:28:40,486 --> 01:28:42,988
Liu Bei must have already formed
an alliance with Wu,
767
01:28:43,155 --> 01:28:45,741
brazenly opposing
the empire.
768
01:28:52,873 --> 01:28:55,668
Who will command
their alliance?
769
01:28:55,835 --> 01:28:59,129
Prime Minister,
I guess it will be Zhou Yu.
770
01:28:59,296 --> 01:29:03,300
Zhou Yu is known not for his military
abilities, but his musical talent.
771
01:29:03,467 --> 01:29:05,344
How can such a man
lead an army?
772
01:29:05,511 --> 01:29:06,929
Prime Minister, for years,
773
01:29:07,096 --> 01:29:08,722
Zhou Yu has remained
our toughest opponent.
774
01:29:08,889 --> 01:29:10,599
Indeed, he is
a skilled musician,
775
01:29:10,766 --> 01:29:12,351
but he is an even better
naval commander.
776
01:29:12,518 --> 01:29:14,603
We have suffered
considerable losses against him.
777
01:29:14,770 --> 01:29:18,274
Please do not
underestimate him.
778
01:29:18,440 --> 01:29:21,485
You sure do
give him a lot of credit!
779
01:29:24,363 --> 01:29:27,449
Prime Minister, there is one other man
we cannot underestimate!
780
01:29:27,616 --> 01:29:32,037
- Who is it?
- That is Zhu-ge Liang.
781
01:29:33,038 --> 01:29:35,040
( Chuckles )
782
01:29:38,335 --> 01:29:40,921
( echoing laughter )
783
01:30:16,916 --> 01:30:20,753
To the first hero who
sacrificed his life for Wu.
784
01:30:45,194 --> 01:30:46,946
In the battle of Guandu,
785
01:30:47,112 --> 01:30:49,657
Cao Cao cut off the noses
of a thousand prisoners of war.
786
01:30:51,116 --> 01:30:52,952
He boxed and returned
those noses,
787
01:30:53,118 --> 01:30:55,162
instantly crushing
his opponents' morale.
788
01:30:55,329 --> 01:30:59,249
Today, he beheaded
a man of Wu
789
01:30:59,416 --> 01:31:01,794
to crush our morale!
790
01:31:04,088 --> 01:31:07,591
But we men of Wu
are not cowards and we are not afraid.
791
01:31:07,758 --> 01:31:10,469
I have been waiting
for this day!
792
01:31:11,637 --> 01:31:13,931
I'm here!
What a commotion!
793
01:31:14,098 --> 01:31:15,849
I won't miss
tomorrow's battle.
794
01:31:21,981 --> 01:31:25,776
Zilong, have there been any problems
with the allied training?
795
01:31:25,943 --> 01:31:28,195
The two armies have
different codes of conduct,
796
01:31:28,362 --> 01:31:30,614
so at the start
there were a few minor conflicts.
797
01:31:30,781 --> 01:31:32,783
But rest assured,
I am training them well.
798
01:31:50,175 --> 01:31:53,262
Zhou Yu likes
naval battles?
799
01:31:53,429 --> 01:31:56,390
Generals Cai Mao and Zhang Yun,
I know you cannot wait any longer!
800
01:31:56,557 --> 01:31:59,143
Very well,
you two are to command
801
01:31:59,309 --> 01:32:01,311
our navy to set sail
down south.
802
01:32:01,478 --> 01:32:03,147
Cai Mao leads a strong navy.
803
01:32:03,313 --> 01:32:05,607
The water current and wind
are all to their advantage.
804
01:32:05,774 --> 01:32:07,401
So, we can launch
our naval invasion.
805
01:32:07,568 --> 01:32:09,737
Prime Minister,
when shall we set out?
806
01:32:09,903 --> 01:32:11,488
Tomorrow, before dawn.
807
01:32:11,655 --> 01:32:13,866
He cannot wait.
He will launch the attack tonight.
808
01:32:14,033 --> 01:32:16,660
No, make it tonight!
809
01:32:16,827 --> 01:32:19,663
Would he take action
so hastily?
810
01:32:19,830 --> 01:32:22,958
There is only one word
to describe his military tactics-- "fast."
811
01:32:23,125 --> 01:32:25,502
In the battle of Xinye,
Cao Cao's elite cavalries
812
01:32:25,669 --> 01:32:27,588
rushed 150 miles
in just three days.
813
01:32:27,755 --> 01:32:30,507
We had no chance
to prepare.
814
01:32:30,674 --> 01:32:33,135
He places surrendered troops
on the frontline,
815
01:32:33,302 --> 01:32:35,429
while his own trusted army
remains in the back.
816
01:32:35,596 --> 01:32:37,181
Cao Hong, Zhang Liao,
817
01:32:37,347 --> 01:32:39,725
You are to lead the naval forces
on the second front.
818
01:32:39,892 --> 01:32:42,895
Xia-hou Jun and Wei Ben, you are
to lead the cavalry west
819
01:32:43,062 --> 01:32:45,397
to provide
cover for the navy!
820
01:32:45,564 --> 01:32:47,816
If the navy is so powerful,
821
01:32:47,983 --> 01:32:50,360
why would they need us
for cover?
822
01:32:56,784 --> 01:32:59,078
Where will their
main target be?
823
01:33:02,831 --> 01:33:04,625
Right here!
824
01:33:17,221 --> 01:33:19,264
That is the reason
why you camped in Red Cliff.
825
01:33:19,431 --> 01:33:21,475
You have foreseen this.
826
01:33:21,642 --> 01:33:23,894
Yet someone said
that my formations are outdated.
827
01:33:24,061 --> 01:33:26,396
I have an even more
outdated one.
828
01:33:38,117 --> 01:33:39,910
Tortoise formation--
829
01:33:40,077 --> 01:33:41,745
It is indeed outdated.
830
01:33:41,912 --> 01:33:45,958
But when used appropriately,
it is very effective.
831
01:33:52,464 --> 01:33:54,466
What are you all
talking about?
832
01:33:54,633 --> 01:33:57,511
How can this tortoise formation
be used on water?
833
01:34:03,767 --> 01:34:05,978
Once you drop, it sinks!
834
01:34:09,731 --> 01:34:12,317
Cao Cao:
If they think I will use the navy,
835
01:34:12,484 --> 01:34:16,405
then Zhou Yu and Zhu-ge Liang
really are stupid.
836
01:34:16,572 --> 01:34:18,740
General Cai, your navy
is only a diversion.
837
01:34:18,907 --> 01:34:19,992
Understood!
838
01:34:20,159 --> 01:34:21,702
Xia-hou Jun and Wei Ben,
839
01:34:21,869 --> 01:34:25,122
take 2,000 cavalry forces
by land and catch them off-guard.
840
01:34:25,289 --> 01:34:27,749
The majority of the Cao force
is land infantry.
841
01:34:27,916 --> 01:34:31,670
Would Cao Cao
attack by water?
842
01:34:31,837 --> 01:34:34,381
What are you thinking of?
843
01:34:34,548 --> 01:34:36,842
Cao Cao never speaks
of his true intentions,
844
01:34:37,009 --> 01:34:38,760
even to his own followers.
845
01:34:38,927 --> 01:34:41,847
Truth and illusion are often disguised
as each other.
846
01:34:42,014 --> 01:34:43,515
Cao Cao likes
to play this game,
847
01:34:43,682 --> 01:34:46,143
both with friends
and with foes.
848
01:34:48,520 --> 01:34:51,273
Eh?
849
01:34:53,483 --> 01:34:56,195
What are you doing putting
that land tortoise in water?
850
01:36:12,729 --> 01:36:15,148
Halt!
851
01:36:23,490 --> 01:36:25,617
( Horse galloping )
852
01:36:29,871 --> 01:36:31,623
Reporting!
853
01:36:31,790 --> 01:36:34,626
No signs of the Wu army
within eight miles of the rear hill!
854
01:36:34,793 --> 01:36:37,379
Nor any trace of civilians!
855
01:36:38,922 --> 01:36:41,133
All have fled,
except for a tortoise in its shell!
856
01:36:41,300 --> 01:36:44,011
( laughing )
857
01:36:55,689 --> 01:36:57,399
- Charge!
- There may be an ambush.
858
01:36:57,566 --> 01:36:59,192
Am I afraid
of a few young girls?
859
01:38:36,957 --> 01:38:38,667
Shoot!
860
01:38:42,421 --> 01:38:44,256
Shoot!
861
01:40:43,124 --> 01:40:44,543
The enemy has
entered the trap.
862
01:40:44,709 --> 01:40:48,213
This tortoise formation
is not at all outdated!
863
01:40:50,257 --> 01:40:52,008
Form up!
864
01:41:33,049 --> 01:41:35,719
It's a trap!
I predicted this ambush.
865
01:41:35,885 --> 01:41:39,055
- Damn!
- Now the advantage is theirs.
866
01:41:46,479 --> 01:41:48,940
( Pained grunting )
867
01:41:51,901 --> 01:41:53,737
( whinnies )
868
01:42:14,382 --> 01:42:16,676
Kill them.
869
01:42:31,650 --> 01:42:33,818
Get back in formation!
870
01:42:33,985 --> 01:42:36,613
Break through the shields
and attack the enemy!
871
01:43:58,111 --> 01:44:00,405
Charge!
872
01:45:47,220 --> 01:45:49,639
( Echoing shouts )
873
01:46:14,038 --> 01:46:15,665
( bones crunching )
874
01:48:54,615 --> 01:48:57,994
Signal the cavalry!
Break through their encirclement!
875
01:48:58,161 --> 01:49:00,204
I will kill
Zhou Yu for this!
876
01:50:02,225 --> 01:50:03,351
Turn!
877
01:50:03,518 --> 01:50:04,727
Turn!
878
01:50:26,249 --> 01:50:27,750
Charge!
879
01:51:27,643 --> 01:51:29,228
Attack!
Kill them!
880
01:51:41,741 --> 01:51:44,243
Get back in formation!
Hang in there!
881
01:51:47,330 --> 01:51:48,664
Hang in there!
882
01:52:58,317 --> 01:53:01,279
- Viceroy!
- Viceroy!
883
01:55:06,987 --> 01:55:08,531
Come on!
884
01:55:24,213 --> 01:55:26,966
Attack!
885
01:56:10,134 --> 01:56:13,012
Great!
This is great!
886
01:56:40,915 --> 01:56:42,833
Get out!
887
01:57:13,948 --> 01:57:15,824
Reporting!
888
01:57:15,991 --> 01:57:20,037
Your Honor, Cao Cao's fleet
is sailing towards Red Cliff.
889
01:57:41,058 --> 01:57:43,310
Cao Hong:
Prime Minister, our army was defeated!
890
01:57:43,477 --> 01:57:46,063
Man:
Our cavalry has never lost a battle.
891
01:57:46,230 --> 01:57:48,524
It is only
a slight setback.
892
01:57:48,691 --> 01:57:51,527
No need to panic.
893
01:57:53,320 --> 01:57:57,533
They managed to outfox
this old fox.
894
01:57:57,700 --> 01:58:01,412
Look, even though
we came a long way on water,
895
01:58:01,579 --> 01:58:04,290
not one allied ship
was there to counterattack.
896
01:58:04,456 --> 01:58:07,585
Instead, they ambushed
our ground forces.
897
01:58:07,751 --> 01:58:11,255
- They were ready for us.
- ( retching )
898
01:58:11,422 --> 01:58:13,757
The war against these rebels
899
01:58:13,924 --> 01:58:15,759
shall not be
underestimated.
900
01:58:15,926 --> 01:58:19,221
Prime Minister, since they do not have
an adequate naval defense,
901
01:58:19,388 --> 01:58:21,974
let's send out our navy
to destroy the allies!
902
01:58:22,141 --> 01:58:26,312
I would rather spend more time preparing
my troops for the naval battle.
903
01:58:26,478 --> 01:58:30,816
Sooner or later
we will get across the river.
904
01:58:30,983 --> 01:58:34,945
I am still waiting to carve
my poetry onto that cliff.
905
01:58:35,946 --> 01:58:39,158
Right there!
906
01:58:39,325 --> 01:58:42,953
Make camp right across
from Red Cliff.
907
01:58:44,204 --> 01:58:47,541
( Chanting )
Victory! Victory!
908
01:59:28,707 --> 01:59:31,543
Zhang:
So many ships.
909
01:59:31,710 --> 01:59:33,253
If we used them
as firewood,
910
01:59:33,420 --> 01:59:36,298
it would take a hundred years
to burn them all!
911
01:59:36,465 --> 01:59:38,717
Cheng Pu:
How can we beat them?
912
01:59:38,884 --> 01:59:41,011
Cao Cao claimed to have
an army of 800,000.
913
01:59:41,178 --> 01:59:43,472
It looks like
he really does.
914
01:59:43,639 --> 01:59:45,766
So what if he has
800,000 troops?
915
01:59:45,933 --> 01:59:48,560
With only one tortoise,
we stalled his army.
916
01:59:48,727 --> 01:59:49,770
Exactly!
917
01:59:49,937 --> 01:59:52,648
The delay has taken away
their momentum.
918
01:59:55,109 --> 01:59:58,028
What do you think?
919
01:59:58,195 --> 02:00:00,864
Rather than attack
directly with his navy,
920
02:00:01,031 --> 02:00:04,076
Cao Cao tried a rear
sneak attack with his cavalry.
921
02:00:04,243 --> 02:00:07,204
He made a mistake.
922
02:00:07,371 --> 02:00:10,624
Now, he will change
his tactics
923
02:00:10,791 --> 02:00:12,918
and begin using his navy.
924
02:00:13,085 --> 02:00:16,547
Cao Cao used only 2,000 troops
to discover our strengths.
925
02:00:16,714 --> 02:00:19,049
But we know nothing
of our enemy.
926
02:00:19,216 --> 02:00:22,177
We can only wait
for their next attack.
927
02:00:26,849 --> 02:00:29,727
How is your arrow wound?
928
02:00:31,061 --> 02:00:33,230
Fine.
It's only a slight wound.
929
02:00:33,397 --> 02:00:35,607
I owe you this one.
930
02:00:36,692 --> 02:00:39,069
Take it easy.
931
02:00:39,236 --> 02:00:41,739
( Troops continue chanting )
932
02:00:53,292 --> 02:00:57,796
Victory!
933
02:01:02,050 --> 02:01:05,012
They are cheering
for victory much too early.
934
02:01:05,179 --> 02:01:07,473
With such good morale,
what is there to fear?
935
02:01:07,639 --> 02:01:11,143
We need good spirits
to win this war.
936
02:01:25,032 --> 02:01:26,450
Your Honor!
937
02:01:26,617 --> 02:01:29,119
This medicine will heal
the wound very quickly.
938
02:01:29,286 --> 02:01:31,246
Please bear with the pain.
939
02:01:34,166 --> 02:01:37,461
( Groans )
940
02:01:50,474 --> 02:01:52,434
Let me do this.
941
02:02:23,549 --> 02:02:25,509
( Groans )
942
02:02:42,150 --> 02:02:43,569
( grunts )
943
02:02:43,735 --> 02:02:46,738
Let me do something
for a wounded soldier.
944
02:02:48,240 --> 02:02:51,118
How does my bandage look?
945
02:02:51,285 --> 02:02:53,996
You wrapped me up
like a rice ball.
946
02:02:58,250 --> 02:03:01,962
It seems that Cao Cao
isn't so fierce after all.
947
02:03:05,215 --> 02:03:06,842
He is indeed fierce.
948
02:03:07,009 --> 02:03:09,136
He is a seasoned
military commander.
949
02:03:09,303 --> 02:03:11,555
He will do anything
within his power to gain victory.
950
02:03:11,722 --> 02:03:14,808
He knows
how to command an army,
951
02:03:14,975 --> 02:03:17,519
but he has no friends.
952
02:03:17,686 --> 02:03:20,898
Cao Cao is unlike you.
953
02:03:29,197 --> 02:03:32,951
Zhao:
This toast is for Viceroy Zhou!
954
02:03:33,118 --> 02:03:35,370
Men:
To Viceroy Zhou!
955
02:03:36,872 --> 02:03:39,917
Me too! For Viceroy Zhou!
I hope he can recover soon.
956
02:03:47,925 --> 02:03:49,217
( laughter )
957
02:03:49,384 --> 02:03:51,345
We joined forces
under pressure,
958
02:03:51,511 --> 02:03:54,056
but were successful
beyond our wildest dreams.
959
02:03:54,222 --> 02:03:57,100
Our brilliant victory
shocked Cao Cao!
960
02:03:58,936 --> 02:04:01,772
Liu Bei: Duke, I have a difficult
favor to ask of you.
961
02:04:01,939 --> 02:04:03,649
100,000 refugees
962
02:04:03,815 --> 02:04:05,692
followed us from Xinye City.
963
02:04:05,859 --> 02:04:08,236
I have no land
on which to settle them.
964
02:04:08,403 --> 02:04:10,238
After defeating Cao Cao,
965
02:04:10,405 --> 02:04:13,200
I would like you to let me use
Jingzhou to settle the people.
966
02:04:13,367 --> 02:04:15,494
Jingzhou is the heartland
of the Yangtze
967
02:04:15,661 --> 02:04:18,121
and a most valuable strategic location.
How could you--
968
02:04:18,288 --> 02:04:20,165
( chuckles )
969
02:04:21,375 --> 02:04:24,294
Only a righteous leader
970
02:04:24,461 --> 02:04:28,006
owns his land.
971
02:04:28,173 --> 02:04:30,884
Indeed, a righteous leader
972
02:04:31,051 --> 02:04:33,261
may only need
a small piece of land.
973
02:04:33,428 --> 02:04:36,139
The Kingdom is vast--
vast enough to shelter all refugees.
974
02:04:36,306 --> 02:04:38,475
But I am only afraid that,
975
02:04:38,642 --> 02:04:41,979
once soldiers settle in,
they will never leave.
976
02:04:42,145 --> 02:04:45,148
Those in arms are
all our own men.
977
02:04:45,315 --> 02:04:48,694
If a Lord is righteous,
then all the kingdom's men are his to lead.
978
02:04:48,860 --> 02:04:51,321
Come, let's drink up!
979
02:04:51,488 --> 02:04:54,032
All: Toast!
980
02:05:03,125 --> 02:05:06,962
The princess
is a true heroine!
981
02:05:11,675 --> 02:05:14,469
Lord Liu, my younger sister
982
02:05:14,636 --> 02:05:17,681
has always admired
great gentlemen.
983
02:05:17,848 --> 02:05:20,225
But since she is so fierce,
984
02:05:20,392 --> 02:05:24,855
I have always worried
about her marriage,
985
02:05:25,022 --> 02:05:28,567
as it is difficult to seek
a suitable gentleman for her.
986
02:05:29,651 --> 02:05:33,030
Brother, what are
you talking about?
987
02:05:33,196 --> 02:05:35,407
If the Liu and Sun families
become relatives,
988
02:05:35,574 --> 02:05:38,368
then it wouldn't matter how we divided
the land and men, would it?
989
02:05:38,535 --> 02:05:40,162
( Chuckles )
990
02:05:43,123 --> 02:05:45,333
Liu Bei:
The war has only just begun.
991
02:05:45,500 --> 02:05:48,920
I have never thought
of remarrying.
992
02:05:52,966 --> 02:05:54,926
But...
993
02:06:09,608 --> 02:06:11,610
Brother,
994
02:06:11,777 --> 02:06:15,655
you must be drunk.
What do you take me for?!
995
02:06:17,199 --> 02:06:20,869
I have found you a fine match.
What's wrong with that?
996
02:06:23,288 --> 02:06:24,831
Fine.
997
02:06:24,998 --> 02:06:28,627
Then, I will have
a hundred of my armed maids
998
02:06:28,794 --> 02:06:31,254
guarding my door...
999
02:06:33,006 --> 02:06:35,467
and I dare you to step in...
1000
02:06:40,097 --> 02:06:42,265
and...
1001
02:06:42,432 --> 02:06:43,767
Oh, no.
1002
02:06:49,314 --> 02:06:53,568
- Big Brother!
- Big Brother!
1003
02:06:56,613 --> 02:06:58,907
How rude!
How outrageously rude!
1004
02:06:59,074 --> 02:07:00,700
Brother!
Brother!
1005
02:07:02,035 --> 02:07:04,955
You have never learned
to respect me!
1006
02:07:11,586 --> 02:07:15,465
That's strange.
What did I do wrong?
1007
02:07:15,632 --> 02:07:18,260
Big Brother's acupuncture
points are locked.
1008
02:07:20,178 --> 02:07:22,013
Wake up!
1009
02:07:27,686 --> 02:07:30,021
( Cooing )
1010
02:07:43,869 --> 02:07:45,829
( seeds clatter )
1011
02:07:47,038 --> 02:07:49,291
Whatever you do,
don't kill my pigeons.
1012
02:07:49,457 --> 02:07:52,127
Their acupuncture points
are different from those of men.
1013
02:07:53,879 --> 02:07:56,298
I hope I didn't
hurt your Lord.
1014
02:07:56,464 --> 02:07:59,176
He wouldn't blame you,
even if you hurt him.
1015
02:08:00,218 --> 02:08:01,678
Was I outrageously rude?
1016
02:08:01,845 --> 02:08:04,514
I think you are unique.
1017
02:08:04,681 --> 02:08:08,935
It is the unique ones who
are the most misunderstood.
1018
02:08:10,395 --> 02:08:14,232
I hate those arranged
marriages.
1019
02:08:14,399 --> 02:08:17,068
Women are pushed around
1020
02:08:17,235 --> 02:08:19,321
like chess pieces.
1021
02:08:24,367 --> 02:08:27,913
You are feeding them too much.
They won't be able to fly anymore.
1022
02:08:37,464 --> 02:08:42,010
If only I was like them.
1023
02:08:45,347 --> 02:08:48,016
You want to fly?
1024
02:08:48,183 --> 02:08:51,311
I have been living
in the palace all my life.
1025
02:08:51,478 --> 02:08:53,521
It is such a bore.
1026
02:08:54,648 --> 02:08:57,317
Your talents
exceed those of others,
1027
02:08:57,484 --> 02:08:59,736
yet you hide them.
1028
02:09:01,404 --> 02:09:03,240
Only you can see them.
1029
02:09:09,162 --> 02:09:13,708
I used to go hunting with my brother
across the shore.
1030
02:09:13,875 --> 02:09:18,838
Back then the field was full
of people dancing and praying.
1031
02:09:19,005 --> 02:09:22,050
Now, it has all become
dark and mysterious.
1032
02:09:22,217 --> 02:09:26,012
Everything has changed
now that Cao Cao has come.
1033
02:09:26,179 --> 02:09:29,224
Before they come here,
1034
02:09:29,391 --> 02:09:31,768
I will go over there
1035
02:09:31,935 --> 02:09:33,436
to take a peek
1036
02:09:33,603 --> 02:09:35,563
and stir up some trouble.
1037
02:10:09,347 --> 02:10:12,559
Take care.
The weather has turned cold.
1038
02:10:15,520 --> 02:10:17,856
I have served
the Prime Minister
1039
02:10:18,023 --> 02:10:19,482
for three days already.
1040
02:10:19,649 --> 02:10:22,861
Yet, your highness still
does not know my name.
1041
02:10:23,028 --> 02:10:24,446
My name is--
1042
02:10:24,612 --> 02:10:26,364
Can you serve tea?
1043
02:10:29,159 --> 02:10:31,661
- I can.
- Do so.
1044
02:10:52,974 --> 02:10:54,726
Prime Minister,
1045
02:10:54,893 --> 02:10:58,146
we can start
the therapy today.
1046
02:11:06,488 --> 02:11:09,407
Cao Hong:
Doctor, what's the matter?
1047
02:11:24,214 --> 02:11:26,174
- Tea, Your Highness.
- Incorrect.
1048
02:11:28,426 --> 02:11:31,096
Try again.
1049
02:11:35,517 --> 02:11:36,726
Tea, Your Highness.
1050
02:11:36,893 --> 02:11:40,188
That's the way.
1051
02:11:41,898 --> 02:11:45,610
Xiao Qiao, I have always admired
the way you serve tea.
1052
02:11:49,406 --> 02:11:51,741
Mmm.
1053
02:11:51,908 --> 02:11:55,328
He started this war...
1054
02:11:55,495 --> 02:11:57,622
all because of a woman?
1055
02:12:12,887 --> 02:12:14,973
What are you doing?
1056
02:12:16,349 --> 02:12:20,019
I just gave them a bath
and I am drying them off.
1057
02:12:21,646 --> 02:12:23,440
What if they catch a cold?
1058
02:12:26,609 --> 02:12:28,611
How is your wound?
1059
02:12:28,778 --> 02:12:30,780
It's fine.
1060
02:12:30,947 --> 02:12:33,324
I heard last night
was quite entertaining.
1061
02:12:34,534 --> 02:12:38,872
Last night's celebration
made me realize
1062
02:12:39,038 --> 02:12:42,834
that we may become
enemies tomorrow.
1063
02:12:47,297 --> 02:12:49,132
When that day comes,
1064
02:12:49,299 --> 02:12:52,218
you and I
1065
02:12:52,385 --> 02:12:55,221
will each serve
our own sides.
1066
02:12:56,890 --> 02:13:00,643
I cannot stand the thought
of a stand-off with you.
1067
02:13:00,810 --> 02:13:03,980
I hope it will never happen.
1068
02:13:04,147 --> 02:13:06,608
You are a brilliant commander.
1069
02:13:06,774 --> 02:13:08,860
Fortunately, you are
not on Cao Cao's side.
1070
02:13:09,027 --> 02:13:11,154
Otherwise, you would be
a lot of trouble.
1071
02:13:30,715 --> 02:13:33,218
You've been looking across the shore
for two days now.
1072
02:13:33,384 --> 02:13:35,178
What do you see?
1073
02:13:38,223 --> 02:13:40,266
I must remain calm.
1074
02:13:42,143 --> 02:13:43,686
How about you?
1075
02:13:45,313 --> 02:13:47,857
I also need to remain calm.
1076
02:13:51,569 --> 02:13:53,571
Cao Cao has no experience
in naval affairs.
1077
02:13:53,738 --> 02:13:55,782
To cross the river,
1078
02:13:55,949 --> 02:13:59,118
he must rely
on Cai Mao and Zhang Yun.
1079
02:13:59,285 --> 02:14:02,497
They are both Southerners.
1080
02:14:02,664 --> 02:14:06,876
They know all the rocks
and currents in the river.
1081
02:14:07,043 --> 02:14:09,254
If we can eliminate them,
1082
02:14:09,420 --> 02:14:13,508
half of the Cao navy
will be paralyzed.
1083
02:14:17,804 --> 02:14:19,305
That...
1084
02:14:19,472 --> 02:14:22,183
would be rather difficult.
1085
02:14:28,898 --> 02:14:32,527
Cao Cao is always
very wary of assassins,
1086
02:14:32,694 --> 02:14:38,074
just as his followers are
wary of his deadly temper.
1087
02:14:46,457 --> 02:14:49,002
They have interesting
fleet formations.
1088
02:14:49,168 --> 02:14:52,005
Every formation
has its weakness.
1089
02:14:52,171 --> 02:14:53,965
It's only up to us to find it.
1090
02:14:54,132 --> 02:14:56,426
That shouldn't be
too difficult.
1091
02:16:34,899 --> 02:16:36,818
Great!
1092
02:16:53,251 --> 02:16:56,462
I never imagined that our soldiers were
also great athletes!
1093
02:17:28,661 --> 02:17:30,747
This is what I call interesting!
1094
02:17:40,131 --> 02:17:42,967
Over all these years
we've been on the battlefields,
1095
02:17:43,134 --> 02:17:44,844
we were never once defeated.
1096
02:17:45,011 --> 02:17:46,429
But like a game of Cuju,
1097
02:17:46,596 --> 02:17:52,226
it cannot be exciting
when one side always wins!
1098
02:17:52,393 --> 02:17:56,272
For the battle of Red Cliff,
we are ready.
1099
02:17:56,439 --> 02:17:58,357
I want to see
how those rebels react
1100
02:17:58,524 --> 02:18:00,109
once we throw out the ball!
1101
