Original subtitles

This is because General Ye is not around. When she was around, when did we ever lose a battle?

If General Ye was around,

She'd definitely know that this was a trap. If General Ye was around,

these Western Xia soldiers would have squashed by us

Most important,

If General Ye was around,

she would go with the Councillor's plan!

They should be the ones hiding here, not us!

Enough! Stop making so much noise!

Fox,

what should we do now?

Are you willing (to be in this situation)? Not willing!! Even to death, we are not willing!

Now both sides, Xia and Song, think we have died in battle

The Heavens have eyes

Our lives should not end here! Since that is the case,

then we should

turn things around for victory!

Councillor

When you work with General,

we always have victorious battles. Fighting on your own against Nong Zhi Gao,

you guys even had victory!

I believe in you. I believe in you too. We believe in you.

We believe in you, councillor.

Good!

If you do not venture into the cave of a tiger, how can you catch the tiger? (metaphor)

We shall form a special unit

We continue to go forward to Xing Qing Fu

We will act according to circumstances! Yes!!

Right now, Liu Tian Tuo and Hu Qing

have been completely annihilated by me

Let me see who else

can stop my mighty Xia army!

Yinuo surely wins! Yinuo surely wins!

Yinuo surely wins! Yinuo surely wins!

Yinuo surely wins! Yinuo surely wins!

We have successfully

taken down the first line of defence of the Song, Ju Ping Guan.

Broken through Yan Zhou's Bai Ying Zai,

And a very important fortress, and that is Xiao Guan

So, the next to come

I shall instruct some soldiers to do a surprise on Yan Zhou

Attack the many big and small towns of Yan Zhou

We will fight through that flat terrain,

attack Song's main force

Then, I will lead the army and sneak attack from the back

Continue to attack Wei Zhou, enter straight into the Central Plains

Until we reach the golden throne, until we finally take down

Song's capital, Eastern City

This way,

In less than half a year,

We, the Western Xia, can annihilate the Songs!

Good!

A beautiful battle! Hahahaha

At the Xiao Guan battle, Yinuo

has complete victory

Killed the Song's army General Liu Tian Tuo.

Song's 10,000 strength army,

completely wiped out

This is by far the biggest victory since

we started to war with the Songs

Occupied Yan Zhou, take down Wei Zhou Attack into the Central Plains, straight in to take over

the Eastern City

At this rate of our attacks, we don't need more

than a year or so,

our aspiration to take over the Central Plains is just around the corner! Hahaha

Crown Prince!

I am here. Mo Zhang E-Pang.

I am here.

Quickly prepare 20,000 cows, sheep, deer and camels

Prepare 20,000 bottles of good wine to send to the frontier

to reward the soldiers

Yes! Yes! We shall go and do it immediately.

Fox,

Ahead of us is the junction between Song and West Xia

Good. You guys have worked hard.

Le's rest here for 2 hours before we move on again

We rest here

Fox,

there's something happening

Kill the fire!

It's in the middle of the night

Why are they leaving so late?

What exactly are they pulling in the carts?

It's food supply. Food supply?

Right now, the food situation at the border is tight. Furthermore, all trades

have stopped

They are moving sneakily in the middle of the night

There must be something suspicious

They pull so much food, for who?

Who cares who it's for, let's go and meet them

Let's go!

It is in the middle of the night. Where are you pulling all these carts of food to?

Have mercy, Masters,

have mercy. We are grain traders

We are on our way to bring these grains to Xing Qing Fu

The money (earned) is for our family to survive

Right now is the time of war

You are bringing Song food supply to the West Xia?

Aren't you making a profit from the hardships of your own country?

I am sorry

Two masters,

it's just business.

You're heroes of the robbers

Of course I know that i have to pay some "taxes"

This is just a token for you masters

Hope you masters would let us go

We still have to be on our way

Sure. Show me your border pass

Sure, sure, sure

Attack them!

Don't move! Don't move!

Speak!

Who are these food supply for?

They all bite their tongues to kill themselves!

They are the well-trained death squads

Search!

Councillor

There's a letter here

and a token as well

What is written?

Qi

Could it be..

This is the food supply from Prince Qi to the West Xia?

You mean

Prince Qi colludes with the West Xia

That's bad news! We had better get back to the check point

to report to the Emperor

Something is not right

Just based on this letter alone,

it is hard to prove that this is sent by Prince Qi. Moreover,

the invoice is written to another Qi (character)

Not the same as Prince Qi's name. I can only deduce

that these are messengers from Prince Qi's household. Then what should we do with this food supply?

This is the opportunity given by the heavens

Go and change into their clothes

Wear their tokens

We will continue to be Prince Qi's messengers

Enter the West Xia's palace

Act according to circumstances

Huh? Wait, what? Enter the West Xia's palace?

What about me? The last time

Yinuo came, I sat across from him and had drinks together

Once he sees me, he will definitely recognise me!

You better think of an idea

This is easy

Go blind yourself in one eye!! Go, go, go!!

I am being serious with you.. you!! Go and think of an idea!

Wear this

I wear this?

Can it work?

Don't wear it. It would be better if you just blind yourself in one eye.

Go, go, go!! I will wear, I will wear!

Everybody, listen up! After you have gotten rid of the bodies,

we will continue on the road

Yes!

Prince Qi's messengers greet the Great King

Prince Qi has a letter to be presented to the Great King

Good

You were instructed by Prince Qi

to bring the food supply over thousands of miles

to support us at the Great Xia. You have worked hard

The favour that Prince Qi has done to our country

Later, when we meet up,

I will show him my gratitude

Today, you all shall

be entertained by the song and dance of our Great Xia

try the beautiful wine of Great Xia

and the beef and mutton.

That is our 3 great combination

Many times I have heard Prince Qi mention about you, the Great King

He said you have the aspiration to be the master of the Central Plains

As we meet today, indeed, you are extraordinary

In order for these goods to be ready, he urged us day and night

He even personally went to Northern Jiang state to supervise

He took pains to see to it

Somebody!

Offer the songs and dances

Offer the wine. Offer the barbecue meats.

Today, I shall wine and dine with these guests who have come from afar

Come, everyone, please take your seats

Thank you, Great King

Please

Great King,

I have a plan to present to you

Would you like to hear it?

Stop!

Go back now

Let me hear it

Please take a look at this map first

Great King,

West Xia has a strong army, Song's army is now weakened

You can lead the army and enter the Guan Yu region

Occupy Guan Zhong

And then advance into the hinterlands of the Central Plains

At the same time, you can join hands with the Liao

Let the Liaos attack the Songs from the North

This way, the Songs will be attacked from both sides

When Song is so overwhelmed,

it will be difficult to support (or stand)

These strategies

are all poisonous strokes of a sword

No matter which stroke succeeds,

Song has the possibility of losing their country

When the time is ripe,

I will invite Liao to join with me as allies

To attack the Songs together

I think that

after attacking Song,

both sides can split 30-70

West Xia 70, Liao 30

Hahahaha

Indeed, you are worthy as the Senior Staff from Prince Qi's household

A really talented councillor

We work for Prince Qi. Hopefully in future,

you will put in a few good words for us

What is your name?

When I next see Prince Qi,

I will put in a few good words for you

Thank you for your affirmation

I am Hu Yuan. From young, Prince Qi helped me

I have always lived in the household

So, everyone is used to calling us

"the attachment"

Fox!

How are you so smart?

So young

You are a small fox

Above you, there's surely an older fox

That old fox

is Prince Qi. Hahahaha

From up there, I could tell you had a lot on your mind

The mutton from our Great Xia,

you didn't even try it! Such a waste!

Come, try it

Try it!

Thank you, King

I lack someone like you around me. Hahaha

Come! Bring in the dancers!

Drink up the wine! Hahaha

Last cup

Why do you snatch my wine?

I already said that was the last cup! No more drinking!

You can't drink! You can't drink so much! What are you doing?

Ah Zhao!

I know you are feeling terrible

Uncle, Hu Qing, Tiger Qiu

Are all gone

They were sacrificed for Song

I believe that, even if you were there that day,

you would be too

No, no, no. What I mean is

If you were there,

they would be back here alive and kicking

I wish to be together with them

Regardless of whether dead or alive

I am willing

No!

You are my wife

You can't die

You can't torture yourself like this any longer

Yu Jin,

How can they be gone so early?

My uncle has never had a good day in his life

He... he guarded the Song

just like a loyal butler

It's hard for him to meet with Auntie

harder than the cowherd and the weaver (a folk legend)

Now, both their sons have been lost

Also, Hu Qing,

Tiger Qiu

They are my brothers who went through life and death with me

We went through thick and thin together

Went pass it

How can they have gone now?

I didn't agree!

I won't allow them

to die

Ah Zhao

The West Xia king and Prince Qi have a very deep collusion

Prince Qi looks so awesome from the outside,

yet he is actually selling out his own country

This chess game

Prince Qi has had it planned since a long time ago

No, no. Another game, another game.

Hey, Tiger Qiu,

why do you always regress? No, just now, I made a wrong move

Prince Yinuo is paying a visit. (whispers) Why is he here?

Prince Yinuo has colluded with Prince Qi

since a long time ago in Song

This time, he probably has some new ideas

Then, what shall we do?

In everything, act according to circumstances. Ok!

Please

Prince Qi's messengers

Could it be that Prince Qi sent you to

spy on our military?

Prince Qi and the King

have not cooperated for only a day or two

Prince Yinuo,

what makes you say that?

So what we have worked together for a long time?

Plans and changes

are always a pair

of good brothers

I have always heard

that you, Prince Yinuo, although you are brave and fierce,

but you lack family support

In West Xia,

the Yeli family has the final say

Looks like Mister Hu

you are very updated with news

Prince

Let's talk in private

Mister Hu

You do indeed know the inside out of our state of affairs

Although I know not in detail,

but, in keeping with Prince Qi,

and from my experience after having helped him plan and strategise all these years

Prince,

If you do not act quickly.

the fear is that,

you may not have a foothold

in West Xia

Please enlighten me, Mister

Although Yeli Yu Qi took down Tian Du Shan,

his unit is still staying with the Elite Forces

Plus, Empress Yeli

uses her brother at the North-South campaign

For what?

It is to consolidate power for the son of her own flesh and blood,

Ha-er Dun's place on the throne

Crown Prince is of royal blood

Naturally, the Yeli family will support him wholeheartedly

But Prince Qi

appreciates your talent more

In terms of meritorious service, in terms of records of war victories, in terms of ambitions

In West Xia, no one is comparable to you

But Prince Qi also looks highly upon Crown Prince Ha-er Dun

He even gave his beautiful adopted daughter

to him

Crown Prince likes beautiful women

Of course Prince Qi will give in to his likes

But you, Prince Yinuo, is different

You have high aspirations

Of course you are more suited to be Prince Qi's ally

Who will give up the eagle in the grassland

to choose over the wild rabbit in the cave? Good!

Mister Hu is really a character

You are my real friend

So, what should I do from here?

Please give me a few pointers

Prince Yinuo, you are too humble

Once you left, it was 3 months

Do you know how much I missed you?

Me too!

Everyday when it became dark,

I would miss my wife

Miss the sweet times we have together

Now, this is good. The King has allowed you to come back To guard Tian Du Shan

This way, we can always be together

Now, we can always be like this

day and night, be together.

Beautifully done!

Come with me to get your reward

Mister Hu Yuan has already given me silver as my reward beforehand. I take my leave!

Where's the wild cat who did this?

That racal probably knew of our ploy, he escaped.

He escaped?

No harm done.

A Jiang Yang burglar like him,

I am sure he can't stir up a storm.

You go

Quickly go tell Prince Qi's messengers

to act according to plan

Is this safe?

Relax

With Prince QI's messengers,

we have come to a tacit understanding

Yes! Understand

We thank you, King, for your hospitality

I really am not a good drinker, I cannot drink anymore

We, the men of the West Xia,

From the time his feet touches the ground, the first thing

the mother does is to feed him a mouthful of wine

which is why the men on this side

from the time, they drink milk, they already can drink wine If you can't drink wine, how can you be considered men?

Drink!

Today, the King is so happy. Let me

toast you 3 cups (of wine)

Good!

Good!

Only when you have the gall for alcohol, does one have guts

To kill in the battlefield

My son, Yinuo,

As he went for war this time,

he got rid of two of Song's great generals

Liu Tian Tuo and Hu Qing

Gave the Song's Emperor a heavy hit

The world has said

that this Hu Qing was smart

good at using plans and strategies, but the way I see it,

it is just but an exaggeration.

It is but a false alarm (or to scare others)

You are right, Great King.

Hu Qing that shameless fella really isn't that capable

How can he even be compared to Prince Yinuo?

But I heard that

When Ye Zhao and Hu Qing cooperates, they can come out with some strange moves

They become invincible

Ye Zhao

and Prince Yinuo had a go before too

Looked like..

Hmm?

I have also heard

Hu Qing hid in a corner, didn't even dare to breathe too heavily

He was scared by the mighty aura of Prince Yinuo

that his legs became weak. Sigh..

This mister really knows how to tell a story

It is almost like you were present

Why?

The reason you are looking elsewhere

is because

you are unwilling to drink with me

and train your drinking ability, is that right?

Great King

There's a saying in the Central Plains

Wine is known to have thousands of cups less (meaning drinking is to have great time with pals)

Since you are so happy today,

Allow me to perform a sword dance for you

Good!
