[Chen Gong] Leave us.
550
00:38:04,583 --> 00:38:06,458
You're really not afraid to die?
551
00:38:07,125 --> 00:38:09,208
I heard the chancellor treated you well.
552
00:38:09,791 --> 00:38:11,791
Why did you throw it all away?

[Cao Cao scoffs]
554
00:38:14,333 --> 00:38:15,916
If I was afraid to die,
555
00:38:17,250 --> 00:38:19,208
I'd be an official like you.
556
00:38:21,625 --> 00:38:22,916
But I couldn't do it.
557
00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:25,666
Everyone knows your name by now.
558
00:38:26,416 --> 00:38:29,916
And you can die as a hero, become famous.
559
00:38:30,708 --> 00:38:32,125
Is that what you want?
560
00:38:32,208 --> 00:38:33,416
No, it isn't.
561
00:38:35,125 --> 00:38:37,000
I shouldn't be considered an assassin.
562
00:38:37,583 --> 00:38:39,875
I vowed to save this nation from disaster,
563
00:38:39,958 --> 00:38:41,666
I should have gathered an army
564
00:38:41,750 --> 00:38:44,958
to defeat Dong Zhuo
and truly restore peace and order.
565
00:38:46,208 --> 00:38:48,291
An assassin who dies as a martyr?

[Cao Cao scoffs]
567
00:38:52,791 --> 00:38:53,833
I never wanted that.
568
00:38:54,333 --> 00:38:57,500
Do you know how much the bounty
on your head is?
569
00:38:59,208 --> 00:39:02,041
It's enough to last me
several lifetimes at least.

[Cao Cao] Then go give my head
to Dong Zhuo for the money.
573
00:39:10,583 --> 00:39:14,333
Let your family
and your descendants spend it.

A swallow cannot fathom an eagle's dream.
575

Cao was ready to die for his cause.
577

But Chen had a change of heart
before the execution.
578
00:39:29,625 --> 00:39:31,416
You're a real hero.
579

Please accept my bow.
581
00:39:36,333 --> 00:39:39,666
[fort master] Chen Gong was willing
to give up his position and his family
582
00:39:39,750 --> 00:39:41,750
to help Cao with his plans.
583
00:39:41,833 --> 00:39:44,666
Later on, they sought refuge

Well, it's all right. You're safe now.

Thank you, Master Lu.
590
00:40:00,958 --> 00:40:02,250
Stop it. We're family.
591
00:40:02,875 --> 00:40:04,375
And this is…
592
00:40:04,458 --> 00:40:06,791
Uh, this is my blood brother.

-Master Lu, Chen Gong.
-I see.
594
00:40:09,291 --> 00:40:10,625
He's my savior.
595
00:40:10,708 --> 00:40:13,541
I'd be dead now if it wasn't for him.
596
00:40:13,625 --> 00:40:16,250
Ah. It's an honor to meet you, sir.
597
00:40:16,333 --> 00:40:17,458
Thank you.
598
00:40:17,541 --> 00:40:20,958
Dear brother Chen,
I humbly bow to you in gratitude.

Thank you, sir.

No, thank you for saving Cao Cao.

Please follow me.

Hello, everyone. Come here, come here.

Quickly. Quickly, everyone.
604

This is my family.

He single-handedly tried to assassinate
General Dong Zhuo.
610

Now, he's famous.
611

It's all right.

I'll ask my wife to prepare
some extra special dishes for you.

And I will go and buy
the most expensive wine I can find.

with one strike.

They have to die.
They have to and we have to do it.

Why would they help us?
You're not their family.

He's not buying wine,
he's contacting the authorities,
637
00:42:21,291 --> 00:42:23,375
then he'll have his family kill us
in our sleep.
638
00:42:23,458 --> 00:42:25,666
Okay. Then, what's the plan?

Strike first.

It's not safe for your family
to be harboring a fugitive.

and you can leave tomorrow. Please.

to treat you to a good meal.

[Cao Cao] Because If I didn't…

to help him get revenge.

is you, Lu Boshe.

So what you're saying the General Sword
can save the world?
722
00:48:19,750 --> 00:48:20,875
[fort master] That's right.
723
00:48:21,375 --> 00:48:23,416
Cao took the sword,
724
00:48:23,500 --> 00:48:26,583

00:48:33,958 --> 00:48:35,666
I need to raise an army.
729
00:48:35,750 --> 00:48:37,833
A substantial one to defeat Dong Zhuo.
730
00:48:37,916 --> 00:48:42,208
Mm, even if we spent our entire fortune,
it still wouldn't be enough.
731
00:48:43,333 --> 00:48:44,708
Hmm.
732
00:48:44,791 --> 00:48:46,250
[Cao Cao] It's untrue.
733
00:48:46,333 --> 00:48:47,833
Thanks to the assassination attempt,
734
00:48:47,916 --> 00:48:51,166
the people now see me as their hero.

SUN JIAN
847

The boy next to him
must be his youngest son,
848
00:55:36,791 --> 00:55:37,916
Sun Quan.
849
00:55:38,000 --> 00:55:40,958
Jiangdong is renowned
for its naval commanders.
850
00:55:41,458 --> 00:55:42,708
Which would be great…
851
00:55:43,541 --> 00:55:46,500
if the Hulao Pass wasn't in the mountains.
852
00:55:46,583 --> 00:55:48,500
They'll be out of their element.

00:56:14,833 --> 00:56:17,291
And work together as one.
859
00:56:17,375 --> 00:56:18,416
[Yuan Shao] Mengde,
860
00:56:19,041 --> 00:56:21,458
your wanted posters are everywhere.
861
00:56:22,375 --> 00:56:24,708
You've become quite famous.
862
00:56:26,041 --> 00:56:30,083
I only wish I killed that bastard
when I had the chance.
863
00:56:30,166 --> 00:56:31,875
What's done is done.
864
00:56:31,958 --> 00:56:33,958
Now, Dong Zhuo knows
we're organizing troops
865
00:56:34,041 --> 00:56:35,625
to oust him from Luoyang.
866
00:56:36,375 --> 00:56:40,583
He and Lu Bu have already dispatched
150,000 troops.
867
00:56:41,291 --> 00:56:46,250
And they're waiting for us,
east of the garrison in Hulao Pass.
868
00:56:46,333 --> 00:56:48,125
We've gathered here today
869
00:56:48,208 --> 00:56:52,875

the earth, and our ancestors.
870
00:56:53,416 --> 00:56:57,458
Now, warriors, we toast with deer's blood.
871
00:57:00,583 --> 00:57:02,375
Our soldiers combined
872
00:57:02,458 --> 00:57:05,291

00:57:05,375 --> 00:57:08,875
along with the cavalry of 100,000.
874

Our united forces will defeat Dong Zhuo.

You have some nerve talking out of term.
Identify yourselves.

Who's your family?
885
00:57:37,875 --> 00:57:39,541
I'm the descendant of Prince Jing,
886
00:57:41,166 --> 00:57:44,458
who was the son of Emperor Jing
of the Han Dynasty.
887
00:57:44,541 --> 00:57:47,833
Given your royal lineage,
what is your rank and title?
888
00:57:47,916 --> 00:57:50,666
I have no rank or title.
889
00:57:51,250 --> 00:57:52,750
I currently live in Pingyuan.
890
00:57:52,833 --> 00:57:54,458
And what does your family do?
891
00:57:55,041 --> 00:57:56,750
We make straw shoes for a living.

893
00:57:59,458 --> 00:58:00,625

894
00:58:00,708 --> 00:58:02,750
[Yuan Shao] What about
the two people beside you?
895
00:58:03,583 --> 00:58:05,250
Guan Yu is a guard.
896
00:58:06,375 --> 00:58:08,541
Zhang Fei is a butcher.

00:58:14,750 --> 00:58:17,125
I'm just curious,
why did you invite these men,
901
00:58:17,208 --> 00:58:18,416
to entertain us?
902
00:58:18,500 --> 00:58:20,041
[men laughing]
903
00:58:20,125 --> 00:58:21,250
Enough!
904
00:58:21,333 --> 00:58:23,791
My brother is of royal descent,
905
00:58:23,875 --> 00:58:25,666
and you dare mock him?
906
00:58:25,750 --> 00:58:28,125
How many troops did you bring with you?
907
00:58:28,208 --> 00:58:30,125
Just the three of us, sir.
908
00:58:30,708 --> 00:58:32,000
[laughs]
909
00:58:33,500 --> 00:58:35,416
[Yuan Shao] You have guts,
I'll give you that.
910
00:58:35,500 --> 00:58:36,875
Each of the 18 warriors here
911
00:58:36,958 --> 00:58:39,666
brought at least 20,000 to 30,000 troops.
912
00:58:40,291 --> 00:58:43,041
So tell me, why do I need you?
913
00:58:45,375 --> 00:58:48,625
Troop numbers don't decide wars,
914
00:58:48,708 --> 00:58:50,250
courage and loyalty do.
915
00:58:51,416 --> 00:58:53,375
[Liu Bei] And we have courage and loyalty.
916
00:58:54,166 --> 00:58:55,333
That's why we're here.
917
00:58:55,416 --> 00:58:57,625
[laughing]
918
00:58:57,708 --> 00:58:58,833
Well said!
919
00:58:59,500 --> 00:59:00,916
Very well said!
920
00:59:02,166 --> 00:59:05,041
These three men are loyal and courageous.
921
00:59:05,125 --> 00:59:08,291
The kind of heroes we need
in this time of crisis,
922
00:59:08,375 --> 00:59:10,708
fearless and defiant.
923
00:59:13,541 --> 00:59:15,833
[Liu Bei] As a descendant of Prince Jing,
924
00:59:15,916 --> 00:59:17,875
It is my duty to join the alliance
925
00:59:18,875 --> 00:59:21,458
and protect the Han Dynasty
from Dong Zhuo.
926
00:59:22,291 --> 00:59:24,125
If I have to sacrifice everything,
927
00:59:25,500 --> 00:59:26,958
then so be it.
928
00:59:28,708 --> 00:59:30,291
I don't care about your linage,
929
00:59:30,916 --> 00:59:34,458
or your rank, or how many troops you have
under your command.
930
00:59:34,541 --> 00:59:37,208
To be victorious,
we need loyalty and courage.
931
00:59:39,541 --> 00:59:40,708
Isn't that right?
932
00:59:40,791 --> 00:59:42,958
-[general 1] Right!
-[general 2] Yes, sir, that's right.
933
00:59:46,041 --> 00:59:48,083
-[Cao Cao] So, tell us.
-[Liu Bei] Tell you what?
934
00:59:48,166 --> 00:59:50,000
[Cao Cao] How to defeat Dong Zhuo.
935
00:59:50,083 --> 00:59:53,958
[Liu Bei] Well, the first thing
we have to do is rescue His Majesty.
936
00:59:54,041 --> 00:59:57,500
Dong's regime will collapse
without the young emperor as a hostage.
937
00:59:58,166 --> 01:00:00,958
But in order to do that,
we have to get into Luoyang.
938
01:00:01,791 --> 01:00:03,958
Which means going through the Hulao Pass.
939
01:00:04,041 --> 01:00:05,916
Dong Zhuo knows this too.
940
01:00:06,000 --> 01:00:09,458
Which means he's going to throw
all his military power into guarding it.
941
01:00:11,833 --> 01:00:13,541
That's where he's sending Lu Bu.
942
01:00:13,625 --> 01:00:15,875
What if we fail
to break through the defenses?
943
01:00:16,791 --> 01:00:19,208
Then we have no chance
of defeating Dong Zhuo.
944
01:00:22,958 --> 01:00:25,291
[suspenseful music plays]
945
01:00:27,916 --> 01:00:29,583
Reach Hulao Pass,
946
01:00:31,750 --> 01:00:33,166
and kill Lu Bu.
947
01:00:33,250 --> 01:00:34,666
I second that order.
948
01:00:34,750 --> 01:00:37,666
Very well. The alliance welcomes you.
949
01:00:37,750 --> 01:00:39,291
-Give them the blood.
-[Cao Cao] Hmm.
950
01:00:42,916 --> 01:00:43,875
[Cao Cao] Here.
951
01:00:44,416 --> 01:00:47,875
I, Cao Mengde, toast to our alliance!
952
01:00:48,875 --> 01:00:50,416
[all] Cheers!
953
01:00:51,750 --> 01:00:53,083
[all] Cheers!
954
01:00:54,541 --> 01:00:56,916
-[Cao grunts]
-[cups shattering]
955
01:00:57,000 --> 01:00:58,458
We still missing one thing.
956
01:00:59,875 --> 01:01:01,125
And what would that be?
957
01:01:02,208 --> 01:01:03,125
An imperial decree.
958
01:01:04,125 --> 01:01:05,083
A decree?
959
01:01:05,916 --> 01:01:08,291
[Cao Cao] His Majesty wrote this decree
with his blood,
960
01:01:08,375 --> 01:01:10,666
then he had me smuggle it out of Luoyang.
961
01:01:10,750 --> 01:01:14,708
So that I would use it
to summon warriors to save him,
962
01:01:14,791 --> 01:01:18,541
to defeat Dong Zhuo
and to end the people's suffering.
963
01:01:18,625 --> 01:01:19,958
The eighteen warlords…
964
01:01:20,750 --> 01:01:22,041
receive your orders.
965
01:01:22,125 --> 01:01:23,750
[weapons clatter]
966
01:01:28,208 --> 01:01:29,708
"The traitor, Dong Zhuo,
967
01:01:30,250 --> 01:01:33,333
usurped the throne,
corrupted the Han Court,
968
01:01:33,416 --> 01:01:36,291
defiled the dowager,
and killed innocent people.
969
01:01:37,083 --> 01:01:40,500
I, hereby summon all warlords under heaven
970
01:01:40,583 --> 01:01:43,500
to raise an army to defeat Dong Zhuo,
971
01:01:43,583 --> 01:01:46,916
defend the royal family,
and save our citizens.
972
01:01:47,000 --> 01:01:50,208
Heed this decree and take swift action."
973
01:01:51,708 --> 01:01:52,958
[general] Hold on.
974
01:01:54,166 --> 01:01:56,166
Did you really meet His Majesty?
975
01:01:56,250 --> 01:01:57,416
-[scoffs]
-[general] I mean…
976
01:01:57,500 --> 01:01:59,666
How do we know
if that decree is even real?
977
01:02:01,958 --> 01:02:04,250
[laughing]
978
01:02:04,333 --> 01:02:06,458
Of course, it isn't real.
979
01:02:06,541 --> 01:02:08,291
-Huh?
-[Cao] I wrote it.
980
01:02:09,166 --> 01:02:11,375
-You!
-That's treasonous!
981
01:02:11,458 --> 01:02:12,708
-Commander--
-Stop.
982
01:02:14,458 --> 01:02:15,916
You wrote that?
983
01:02:17,375 --> 01:02:19,750
It gives our cause legitimacy.
984
01:02:21,250 --> 01:02:24,000
We need it, so it's real.
985
01:02:24,083 --> 01:02:27,541
Dong Zhuo treats the young emperor
like a toy.
986
01:02:29,250 --> 01:02:31,958
If we succeed in bringing him down,
987
01:02:32,833 --> 01:02:35,666
nobody will question the decree.
988
01:02:36,625 --> 01:02:37,750
If we fail,
989
01:02:38,958 --> 01:02:40,750
what difference would it make…
990
01:02:42,666 --> 01:02:43,708
even if were real?
991
01:02:43,791 --> 01:02:45,083
-[thuds]
-[fire crackles]
992
01:02:46,125 --> 01:02:47,875
We have to keep our eyes on that one.
993
01:02:47,958 --> 01:02:50,500
Since we don't have an official decree,
994
01:02:50,583 --> 01:02:54,708
I think it would be good
to set some ground rules of our own.
995
01:02:54,791 --> 01:02:58,250
Out of all the heroes
who have assembled here today,
996
01:02:58,333 --> 01:03:02,208
the first one to enter Luoyang
and rescue His Majesty…
997
01:03:03,583 --> 01:03:05,250
will be appointed Grand Chief Controller.
998
01:03:05,333 --> 01:03:06,375
Agree.
999
01:03:06,958 --> 01:03:12,416
Commander, allow me to lead the first wave
of our attack at Hulao Pass.
1000
01:03:12,500 --> 01:03:13,333
Of course.
1001
01:03:13,416 --> 01:03:16,458
My army will be in charge of provisions.
1002
01:03:16,958 --> 01:03:19,708
-[Yuan Shao] All right, see to it.
-[general] Get moving.
1003
01:03:20,791 --> 01:03:21,875
[Yuan Shao] Hmm.
1004
01:03:25,583 --> 01:03:27,166
[Dong Zhuo laughing]
1005

[both laughing]
1007
01:03:37,541 --> 01:03:40,208
[Li Ru] Chancellor, our scout brings news.
1008
01:03:41,041 --> 01:03:43,666
Sun Jian has broken through
three of our defensive lines
1009
01:03:43,750 --> 01:03:45,208
at Hulao Pass.
1010
01:03:46,500 --> 01:03:47,541
[spits]
1011
01:03:48,208 --> 01:03:50,000
They're planning to attack Luoyang.
1012
01:03:50,083 --> 01:03:51,833
What do we do?
1013
01:03:51,916 --> 01:03:53,791
-What do we do?
-[Lu Bu] I'll go.
1014
01:03:53,875 --> 01:03:56,416
Why should we use a butcher's knife
to slaughter a chicken?
1015
01:03:56,500 --> 01:03:58,250
Let me go to the frontlines.
1016
01:03:58,833 --> 01:04:00,708
It's about time they witness
1017
01:04:01,458 --> 01:04:05,166
the power of West Liang's
mightiest warrior,
1018
01:04:05,250 --> 01:04:06,583
Hua Xiong!
1019
01:04:07,375 --> 01:04:10,166
[wind howling]
1020
01:04:15,958 --> 01:04:19,000
YUAN
1021
01:04:23,250 --> 01:04:26,666
You broke through their formation,
isolated the enemy,
1022
01:04:26,750 --> 01:04:29,458
and even gave yourself an escape route.
1023
01:04:29,541 --> 01:04:31,000
Two moves in one.
1024
01:04:31,583 --> 01:04:32,958
Genius.
1025
01:04:33,583 --> 01:04:35,333
Judging from your game tactics,
1026
01:04:35,416 --> 01:04:37,833
I'd say you must be a master strategist.
1027
01:04:37,916 --> 01:04:39,333
They won't deploy me,
1028
01:04:39,958 --> 01:04:41,541
so I just play to kill time.
1029
01:04:42,416 --> 01:04:44,166
You defended your brother well.
1030
01:04:45,166 --> 01:04:46,041
I'm impressed.
1031
01:04:46,125 --> 01:04:48,000
He's been attacked a lot…
1032
01:04:48,791 --> 01:04:49,916
since we got here.
1033
01:04:51,166 --> 01:04:53,958
We're just waiting for a chance
to prove ourselves.
1034
01:04:55,333 --> 01:04:58,000
To befriend such a great man as yourself,
1035
01:04:58,083 --> 01:05:00,916
Liu Bei must be quite extraordinary.
1036
01:05:03,541 --> 01:05:07,125
I admire your heroism
in attempting to assassinate Dong Zhuo.
1037
01:05:08,250 --> 01:05:09,250
But…
1038
01:05:10,125 --> 01:05:12,750
my allegiance is to my big brother.
1039
01:05:15,041 --> 01:05:16,375
[game pieces rattle]
1040
01:05:18,041 --> 01:05:20,916
Your loyalty is what I admire
the most about you.
1041
01:05:23,041 --> 01:05:25,708
[soldier] Sir, Sun Jian's troops
were wiped out.
1042
01:05:25,791 --> 01:05:28,375
And now, Hua Xiong is taunting us
outside the fortress.
1043
01:05:28,458 --> 01:05:30,916
He said he's coming
for your head, General.
1044
01:05:32,250 --> 01:05:34,250
He's challenging us to duels
1045
01:05:34,833 --> 01:05:36,958
to undermine our morale.
1046
01:05:40,916 --> 01:05:42,583
[Guan Yu] It's also
the perfect opportunity
1047
01:05:42,666 --> 01:05:44,166
for the alliance to prove itself.
1048
01:05:45,458 --> 01:05:47,833
Things are finally getting interesting.
1049
01:05:50,125 --> 01:05:52,791
[ominous music plays]
1050
01:05:55,458 --> 01:05:57,916
[horses neigh]
1051
01:05:59,416 --> 01:06:02,083
You bunch of traitors
have been out here long enough,
1052
01:06:02,166 --> 01:06:04,000
and you can't hide in there forever.
1053
01:06:04,083 --> 01:06:06,000
Chancellor Dong's sent me here
to deal with you
1054
01:06:06,083 --> 01:06:08,125
and that's exactly what I'm going to do.
1055
01:06:08,708 --> 01:06:12,208
[Cao Cao] Dong Zhuo's warriors
are as numerous as they are formidable.
1056
01:06:12,291 --> 01:06:15,083
Hua Xiong is West Liang's top fighter.
1057
01:06:15,958 --> 01:06:18,416
But he's only Dong's third strongest.
1058
01:06:18,958 --> 01:06:22,750
And in terms of sheer skill,
he's nowhere near Lu Bu.
1059
01:06:22,833 --> 01:06:24,541
If we can't defeat Hua Xiong,
1060
01:06:25,541 --> 01:06:26,916
forget about Lu Bu.
1061
01:06:27,541 --> 01:06:29,000
We cannot lose our first battle.
1062
01:06:29,083 --> 01:06:31,791
Which of you is brave enough
to fight Hua Xiong
1063
01:06:31,875 --> 01:06:33,875
and bring glory to the alliance?
1064
01:06:34,791 --> 01:06:38,500
Commander Yuan, I am Yu She,
and I will gladly fight.
1065
01:06:38,583 --> 01:06:41,583
General Yu, is undefeated in battle,
and shall remain as such.
1066
01:06:41,666 --> 01:06:42,791
Bring the wine!
1067
01:06:43,750 --> 01:06:45,833
And we will toast
to the general's victory.
1068
01:06:45,916 --> 01:06:47,166
[Yu She] Thank you, sir.

01:18:16,250 --> 01:18:17,416
[Cao Cao] The deserters,
1252
01:18:18,375 --> 01:18:20,416
they were not committed to the cause.
1253
01:18:20,500 --> 01:18:22,583
They only cared about one thing,
1254
01:18:23,125 --> 01:18:24,708
their own personal gain.
1255
01:18:25,291 --> 01:18:26,708
They used Dong Zhuo
1256
01:18:26,791 --> 01:18:29,458
as a cover for their own ulterior motives.
1257
01:18:30,458 --> 01:18:33,833
Exploiting the crisis
to gain an advantage.
1258
01:18:33,916 --> 01:18:38,083
The man named Lu Bu
rides a steed named Red Hare.
1259
01:18:38,166 --> 01:18:41,750
They say he can take on 10,000 troops
by himself.
1260
01:18:41,833 --> 01:18:44,416
Dong Zhuo, has recruited elite troops
from the west,
1261
01:18:44,500 --> 01:18:46,291
known for their destructive power.
1262
01:18:46,375 --> 01:18:48,625
Obviously, no one wants
to suffer heavy losses.
1263

[scoffs]
1264
01:18:50,208 --> 01:18:53,125
Well, that's not really an option,
going up against Lu Bu.
1265
01:18:53,208 --> 01:18:54,833
But if we can't defeat him,
1266
01:18:55,458 --> 01:18:57,291
how can we defeat Dong Zhuo?
1267
01:18:57,375 --> 01:18:58,541

1268
01:18:58,625 --> 01:19:00,833
Hey, snap out of it.
1269
01:19:02,166 --> 01:19:03,750
We didn't go through all of this…
1270
01:19:04,458 --> 01:19:07,083
just to kill Hua Xiong, did we?
1271
01:19:08,208 --> 01:19:11,625
You're supposed to be warriors,
so prove it.

[weapon clangs]
1273
01:19:14,250 --> 01:19:18,375
[Dong Zhuo] Luoyang has been
the Han capital for over 200 years.
1274
01:19:18,458 --> 01:19:20,083
It's on the verge of decline.
1275
01:19:20,166 --> 01:19:23,208
For the sake of our kingdom,
and His Majesty's health,
1276
01:19:23,291 --> 01:19:26,833
I have decided
to move the capital to Chang'an.
1277
01:19:26,916 --> 01:19:28,708
[minister 1] What? Move the capital?
1278

-[minister 2] Why?
1279

Why would you try to kill yourself?
1293
01:21:16,625 --> 01:21:18,250
Someone proposed to me…
1294
01:21:20,250 --> 01:21:21,833
and my godfather accepted it,
1295
01:21:23,875 --> 01:21:25,416
but I don't want to marry him.
1296
01:21:27,166 --> 01:21:28,541
He's a horrible man.
1297
01:21:29,791 --> 01:21:31,708
Since I have no other choice,
1298
01:21:33,875 --> 01:21:34,916
I'd rather die.

No one will harm you ever again.
1302
01:21:51,208 --> 01:21:54,791
Tell the one who proposed to you
that belong to Lu Bu.
1303
01:21:56,583 --> 01:21:59,958
Once I return victorious,
I will marry you.
1304
01:22:02,458 --> 01:22:03,750
General Lu…
1305
01:22:05,875 --> 01:22:07,333
do you mean it?
1306
01:22:07,416 --> 01:22:08,708
I always mean what I say.
1307
01:22:13,208 --> 01:22:14,500
But we just met.
1308

I will forever be devoted to you.

[Cao Cao] Then let's not waste
the opportunity.
1325
01:23:52,583 --> 01:23:54,291
[Liu Bei] We might not get another chance.
1326

1331

[Liu Bei] I think Yuan Shao
would run away if he could,
1332
01:24:16,416 --> 01:24:18,333
but it'd be too embarrassing.
1333
01:24:18,416 --> 01:24:21,250
The alliance commander
with a prestigious lineage.
1334
01:24:21,333 --> 01:24:22,625
[Cao Cao] That's one reasons.
1335
01:24:22,708 --> 01:24:25,333
But more than that, if he doesn't succeed,
1336
01:24:25,416 --> 01:24:27,833
Dong Zhuo will surely hunt him down
and get his revenge.
1337
01:24:27,916 --> 01:24:28,875
It's a tough spot.
1338
01:24:30,666 --> 01:24:33,791
So what about you then,
why are you still here?
1339
01:24:33,875 --> 01:24:35,458
Same reason as you.
1340
01:24:36,583 --> 01:24:37,875
And what might that be?
1341
01:24:37,958 --> 01:24:40,416
To save the Han Dynasty above all else.

[Cao Cao] What?
1346

So what?
1352
01:25:16,625 --> 01:25:19,833
They didn't join the alliance
because they truly believe in justice,
1353
01:25:19,916 --> 01:25:22,166
their ambitions are the same
as Dong Zhuo's.
1354
01:25:22,250 --> 01:25:24,708
What do you three hope to gain from this?
Tell me the truth!
1355
01:25:24,791 --> 01:25:25,875
We don't want anything!
1356

It's our noble duty to serve our country.
1357

Also, I'll never let our people suffer
at the hands of Dong Zhuo.

For the Dynasty and its people,
1359
01:25:33,833 --> 01:25:36,041

we'll face Lu Bu's 30,000 cavalries.

This is a fight to the death.

So, now you will join with us
and guard this place.

1627
01:46:23,625 --> 01:46:25,000
Dong Zhuo fled the city
1628
01:46:25,083 --> 01:46:27,250
and is headed to Chang'an
with His Majesty.
1629
01:46:27,333 --> 01:46:29,958
Sun Jian didn't wait
for Commander Yuan's orders,
1630
01:46:30,041 --> 01:46:32,541
he went to Luoyang
and stole the imperial jade seal.
1631
01:46:33,166 --> 01:46:34,500
Should we pursue him?
1632
01:46:36,875 --> 01:46:37,958
[chuckles]
1633
01:46:39,916 --> 01:46:42,541
The imperial seal is merely symbolic.
1634
01:46:43,500 --> 01:46:47,208
Saving the Emperor is our only concern.
1635
01:47:02,416 --> 01:47:04,541
[sombre music plays]
1636
01:47:06,958 --> 01:47:07,833
[Wang Yun] Diao Chan.
1637
01:47:10,000 --> 01:47:11,000
You're thinking too much.
1638
01:47:11,666 --> 01:47:13,958
Dong Zhuo adores you.
1639
01:47:15,000 --> 01:47:16,666
Seize this opportunity
1640
01:47:17,625 --> 01:47:19,250
and destroy that bastard.
1641
01:47:19,333 --> 01:47:20,416
Yes, I know.
1642
01:47:21,375 --> 01:47:22,625
And I will.
1643
01:47:29,750 --> 01:47:33,750
[soldier] My lord, only Sun and our troops
fought to the end and survived,
1644
01:47:33,833 --> 01:47:37,791
but yet you let Sun Jian
enter Luoyang first.
1645
01:47:38,375 --> 01:47:40,458
That makes him Grand Chief Controller.
1646
01:47:41,625 --> 01:47:43,583
Why forfeit your rightful title?
1647
01:47:44,125 --> 01:47:45,458
It doesn't make sense.
1648
01:47:45,541 --> 01:47:47,458
[chuckling]
1649
01:47:47,541 --> 01:47:49,250
No one seems to understand
1650
01:47:49,333 --> 01:47:52,458
that the emperor is
what gives the palace life.
1651
01:47:52,541 --> 01:47:56,250
Wherever the emperor decides to go,
the great Han follows.
1652
01:47:56,333 --> 01:47:59,125
We'll find Dong Zhuo and save His Majesty.
1653
01:48:00,875 --> 01:48:04,333
Our nation is in this mess
because its people are not united.
1654
01:48:04,416 --> 01:48:08,666
Maybe instead of joining an alliance,
we should forge our own path.
1655
01:48:08,750 --> 01:48:10,125
Go!
1656
01:48:10,791 --> 01:48:12,625
Follow me, move!
1657
01:48:16,000 --> 01:48:21,416
A FEW YEARS LATER
1658
01:48:23,291 --> 01:48:25,875
[gentle music plays]

LIU
1661
01:49:30,875 --> 01:49:33,958
[Cao Cao] I never expected you
to raise your own army so quickly.
1662
01:49:40,416 --> 01:49:42,625
It's nothing
compared to your 100,000 troops.
1663
01:49:43,250 --> 01:49:44,791
[laughs]
1664
01:49:45,458 --> 01:49:46,625
Yeah, well…
1665
01:49:47,166 --> 01:49:48,750
I started with 5,000.
1666
01:49:49,791 --> 01:49:53,083
General Cao, why are you here?
1667
01:49:53,666 --> 01:49:56,416
To drink wine and catch up.
1668
01:50:08,666 --> 01:50:09,875
[soft grunt]
1669
01:50:13,125 --> 01:50:15,166
Dong Zhuo escaped from Luoyang,
1670
01:50:15,250 --> 01:50:17,750
and the 18 warlords
have been deemed heroes.
1671
01:50:17,833 --> 01:50:18,875
[scoffs]
1672
01:50:18,958 --> 01:50:22,041
If you ask me,
they're all completely useless.
1673
01:50:25,583 --> 01:50:26,708
On the other hand,
1674
01:50:27,375 --> 01:50:30,083
who do you think deserves
to be called a hero?
1675
01:50:33,541 --> 01:50:34,541
Yuan Shao?
1676
01:50:36,333 --> 01:50:39,916
Yuan foresaw the decline of the Han Court
long ago,
1677
01:50:40,000 --> 01:50:41,750
only fools would try to restore it.
1678
01:50:42,666 --> 01:50:45,416
So instead, he bided his time.
1679
01:50:45,500 --> 01:50:48,458
Amassing power
while observing the situation from afar.
1680
01:50:48,541 --> 01:50:49,708
He's no hero.
1681
01:50:54,125 --> 01:50:58,416
Then it has to be the man
with the prestigious linage, Sun Jian.
1682
01:51:06,208 --> 01:51:08,041
[Cao Cao] When Sun took the jade seal,
1683
01:51:08,125 --> 01:51:10,375
he exposed his true ambitions
for the throne.
1684
01:51:10,458 --> 01:51:11,916
[soldier] Reporting!
1685
01:51:14,875 --> 01:51:16,750
[son 1] Congratulations, Father.
1686
01:51:16,833 --> 01:51:18,166
[son 2] Congratulations, Father.
1687
01:51:18,250 --> 01:51:19,958
[all] All hail His Majesty!
1688
01:51:20,041 --> 01:51:23,041
[Cao Cao] Unfortunately,
whoever holds the imperial seal
1689
01:51:23,125 --> 01:51:25,583
will become a target
for others vying for power.
1690
01:51:26,583 --> 01:51:29,708
To be honest, he's not too bright.
1691
01:51:29,791 --> 01:51:32,375
The 18 warlords
who wanted to defeat Dong Zhuo
1692
01:51:32,458 --> 01:51:35,166
have returned to their homes
to build up their strength.
1693
01:51:35,833 --> 01:51:38,541
They're hoping to profit
during this period of crisis.
1694
01:51:38,625 --> 01:51:40,416
That's not the worst of it.
1695
01:51:41,208 --> 01:51:44,166
The real reason they want the country
to fall into chaos
1696
01:51:44,250 --> 01:51:46,166
is so they can seize territory.
1697
01:51:46,250 --> 01:51:48,750
Hopefully, the Han Dynasty survives…
1698
01:51:49,791 --> 01:51:51,583
and is restored to its former glory.
1699
01:51:54,125 --> 01:51:58,500
After so many setbacks,
the great Han exists in name only, now.
1700
01:51:58,583 --> 01:52:02,625
This a chaotic, feudalistic era
we're living in.
1701
01:52:04,583 --> 01:52:09,541
So tell me, who else deserves
to be called a hero?
1702
01:52:12,458 --> 01:52:14,208
I really can't think of anyone.
1703
01:52:14,708 --> 01:52:19,250
Well, a hero aspires to greatness,
is magnanimous,
1704
01:52:19,333 --> 01:52:22,625
ambitious, and possesses great wisdom.
1705
01:52:24,416 --> 01:52:27,416
In my opinion, the only true heroes…
1706
01:52:28,166 --> 01:52:29,291
are you,
1707
01:52:29,875 --> 01:52:30,750
and me.
1708
01:52:31,833 --> 01:52:33,291
As a Han official,
1709
01:52:35,333 --> 01:52:37,208
how can you aspire to the throne?
1710
01:52:39,500 --> 01:52:41,083
[thunder rumbles]
1711
01:52:41,666 --> 01:52:43,291
[laughing]
1712
01:52:48,583 --> 01:52:50,041
Stop pretending.
1713
01:52:50,791 --> 01:52:52,500
Isn't that what you want too?
1714
01:53:00,208 --> 01:53:01,458
Deep down,
1715
01:53:02,583 --> 01:53:04,375
you and I are the same.
1716
01:53:08,958 --> 01:53:10,666
I'm nothing like you.
1717
01:53:10,750 --> 01:53:12,750
I serve the Han Court.
1718
01:53:18,875 --> 01:53:21,208
Do you wanna know
what your two biggest strengths are?
1719
01:53:22,041 --> 01:53:23,166
Loyalty…
1720
01:53:24,000 --> 01:53:25,000
and…
1721
01:53:25,708 --> 01:53:27,583
unflinching composure,
1722
01:53:28,208 --> 01:53:30,166
regardless of the situation.
1723
01:53:32,166 --> 01:53:33,375
In the future,
1724
01:53:33,458 --> 01:53:35,375
I hope that we can remain friends.
1725
01:53:36,666 --> 01:53:38,583
As long as you're loyal to the dynasty,
1726
01:53:39,666 --> 01:53:41,416
you'll always be my friend.
1727
01:53:42,041 --> 01:53:44,250
[laughing]
1728
01:53:48,458 --> 01:53:52,500
Our nation will know peace
once I have conquered it.
1729
01:53:53,083 --> 01:53:53,958
[Cao Cao] Go!
1730
01:53:55,458 --> 01:53:57,791
