00:02:53 (Han Dynasty, 208 A.D. Summer, Xuchang)
00:05:06 Greetings, Your Majesty
00:05:21 Yesterday, I proposed a decree
00:05:24 for war against Liu Bei and Sun Quan
00:05:26 Has Your Majesty approved the decree?
00:05:29 The Prime Minister has just beaten
00:05:33 Our troops and people need respite
00:05:36 The insurgents Sun and Liu
00:05:38 are ruling their own regimes down South
00:05:40 They plot against Your Majesty's Court
00:05:43 If they are not eliminated in time,
00:05:45 Your Majesty's Han Court
00:05:50 Prime Minister,
00:05:51 please let me consider this further
00:05:53 How much further must
00:05:58 I have waged wars across the land
00:06:00 Tens of thousands of soldiers
00:06:02 all for the sake of the Great Han Empire
00:06:06 Does Your Majesty
00:06:09 Which, if any, among your
00:06:11 I wonder, to this day,
00:06:14 if I had not eliminated the traitors,
00:06:17 how many more would claim
00:06:29 I hereby decree that
00:06:31 Prime Minister Cao Cao
00:06:33 be commissioned as
00:06:35 and go forth to pacify the South
00:06:38 Thank you, Your Majesty
00:06:40 Senator Kong Rong wishes to speak
00:06:49 Liu Bei is Your Majesty's uncle,
00:06:52 and Sun Quan is the third-generation
00:06:55 They have no intent to rebel
00:06:58 Whereas you, Prime Minister,
00:07:00 not only seize all
00:07:01 but also intend to
00:07:03 There is no justifiable reason
00:07:06 Though you have solemnly vowed yourself
00:07:08 Ioyal to His Majesty's Court,
00:07:11 you will not be able to convince everyone!
00:07:16 The next one to put down a rebellion,
00:07:20 but Liu Bei
00:07:22 and Sun Quan!
00:07:25 He is the first sacrifice
00:07:33 I thank the Prime Minister for this wine!
00:07:47 (The final year of the Han dynasty)
00:07:48 (Eunuchs and court relatives)
00:07:51 (The country falls into chaos)
00:07:52 (Ambitious Cao Cao seizes the moment)
00:07:54 (to coerce the emperor and)
00:07:56 (ln the year 208 A.D.,)
00:07:59 (to destroy Liu Bei,)
00:08:02 (and Sun Quan, ruler of the Southland)
00:08:05 Begin
00:08:07 Form up!
00:10:50 Watch it
00:10:58 My Lord
00:11:00 Zilong! My Lord
00:11:01 You have returned
00:11:02 Our men made all possible efforts
00:11:06 until the last minute
00:11:10 Luckily, most of the peasants
00:11:12 through the valley
00:11:14 My Lord!
00:11:15 The two ladies and the Young Master
00:11:17 are still trapped in the village
00:11:25 My ladies, please be careful
00:11:28 Don't cry
00:11:48 General Zhang
00:11:49 Chief Strategist,
00:11:53 Cao Cao's pursuing forces
00:11:55 The cavalry vanguard
00:11:58 The Cao cavalry will use
00:12:00 a wedge formation to attack
00:12:02 We will reflect the light
00:12:04 Remember, the refugees need
00:12:06 at least an hour to retreat
00:12:09 We need a thousand more soldiers
00:12:10 for the second line of defense!
00:12:12 Leave it to me
00:12:23 Alright
00:12:26 Forward
00:12:47 My Lord
00:12:49 Zhu-ge Liang,
00:12:51 the peasants are moving slowly
00:12:52 It looks like they will need
00:12:56 We urgently need
00:12:57 Go aid General Zhang
00:12:59 That way Cao Cao cannot chase them
00:13:01 The peasants can be left to themselves
00:13:04 Cao Cao intends to make us surrender
00:13:06 He will not kill them
00:13:07 No! As you can see,
00:13:11 the elderly, the women,
00:13:13 My Lord,
00:13:14 these peasants are dragging us down
00:13:17 To succeed, you have to set
00:13:20 These are Han people
00:13:22 They follow us only to escape
00:13:26 If we cannot offer protection
00:13:28 then what is the meaning of this war?
00:13:36 I will find Guan Yu
00:13:37 Go and help my Lord
00:14:01 Sister!
00:14:19 Quickly! Bring the horse for My Lady
00:14:21 That looks like Liu Bei's family
00:14:24 Go get the baby!
00:15:26 My Lady!
00:15:28 General Zhao,
00:15:31 he is my Lord's only flesh and blood
00:15:34 He must not fall into enemy's hands!
00:15:38 Rest assured, My Lady
00:15:39 I will take you and
00:15:42 Let's go! Get on the horse!
00:16:05 My Lady, quickly!
00:16:18 My Lady!
00:16:22 My Lady!
00:16:27 General!
00:17:11 My Lady!
00:17:40 Step apart!
00:17:42 Flip the shields!
00:18:23 Attack!
00:19:12 Let's go!
00:20:21 Bailong!
00:20:41 Chief Strategist,
00:20:42 where are our reinforcements?
00:22:22 Who is that man?
00:22:23 Zhao Zilong of Changshan
00:22:37 Why is there no such a brave
00:22:49 General Zhao
00:22:51 Zilong
00:23:01 Retreat!
00:23:02 We can still fight!
00:23:04 Why are we giving up so easily?
00:23:07 We are greatly outnumbered by the enemy
00:23:08 If we can't protect the refugees,
00:23:10 our losses will be worse
00:23:11 Attention!
00:23:12 Protect the refugees!
00:23:14 It's an order!
00:23:18 Brother,
00:23:19 go quickly!
00:23:21 Leave! Protect the refugees!
00:23:24 Zilong, take the Young Master!
00:23:27 Retreat!
00:23:29 Attention, Third Battalion! Hold the line!
00:23:32 Protect the retreating refugees!
00:23:38 Quick!
00:23:41 Charge!
00:23:48 Second battalion, go!
00:23:52 Third battalion, get ready!
00:24:44 My lord
00:24:49 I brought the Young Master back
00:24:56 but the two ladies already...
00:25:05 Zilong, get up...
00:25:33 Prime Minister!
00:25:34 Liu Bei is vulnerable
00:25:36 Look, the cowards have all fled
00:25:39 Dead bodies lie everywhere
00:25:42 The rest ran for their lives!
00:25:46 There is only one man still fighting
00:26:04 Surrender, and your life will be spared!
00:26:05 Kneel down...
00:26:08 Do not be so rude!
00:26:12 General Guan Yu,
00:26:14 a wise man chooses his Lord carefully
00:26:16 Why do you continue to serve Liu Bei?
00:26:21 You still won't kneel!
00:26:54 Protect the Prime Minster! Kill him!
00:26:56 Nobody move!
00:27:12 Prime Minister, why?
00:27:14 If he wanted to kill me,
00:27:17 Guan Yu would not stab a man from behind
00:27:20 Liu Bei has lost many battles,
00:27:22 yet so many talented men
00:27:25 One day, they will
00:27:59 I have suffered a lifetime of failures
00:28:02 This isn't the worst one
00:28:05 Cao Cao thinks he holds
00:28:09 So long as I live and breathe,
00:28:11 I will fight to end his crimes
00:28:13 against the Han Court
00:28:17 My Lord, I will go to
00:28:20 to ask for Sun Quan's support
00:28:22 Sun Quan?
00:28:24 Against Cao Cao?
00:28:26 to fight an enemy as fierce as Cao Cao
00:28:30 Though Sun Quan is young,
00:28:32 he bears great ambitions within
00:28:35 For generations,
00:28:37 They have the wealth and strength
00:28:41 Wu needs us just as much as we need Wu
00:28:45 If our alliance succeeds,
00:28:48 then Cao Cao will definitely
00:28:50 We can then go West and rebuild our forces
00:28:53 Once we are in control of the West,
00:28:55 Cao Cao will control the North,
00:28:58 We will form a power triangle
00:29:00 This division of power is
00:29:09 My Lord, please rest assured
00:29:13 Are you confident you can convince him?
00:29:26 Eat some more
00:29:28 The road to Wu is long,
00:29:43 Prime Minister, the surrendered generals,
00:29:45 Cai Mao and Zhang Yun, are here
00:29:48 These two men are untrustworthy
00:29:52 Please be cautious
00:29:57 I trust those who are of use to me
00:30:09 Greetings, Your Highness!
00:30:13 Rise
00:30:14 How many ships and men
00:30:17 We have with us
00:30:19 and more than two thousand
00:30:20 battleships and boats of various sizes
00:30:22 Great!
00:30:25 Now we can be
00:30:27 tigers that swim!
00:30:34 Your Highness,
00:30:42 General Cai,
00:30:44 I see many grammatical errors here
00:30:47 I hope your military strategies
00:30:49 are not as poor as
00:30:52 I hear you have frequent exchanges
00:30:54 with the State of Wu
00:30:57 Your Highness,
00:30:58 I have declared war on Wu many times
00:31:01 These so called exchanges
00:31:03 No need to explain
00:31:05 What is this?
00:31:06 This is a map of Wu that I drew
00:31:08 taking great pains to be precise
00:31:15 General Cai,
00:31:17 you took great pains indeed
00:31:20 Your Highness,
00:31:21 Liu Bei has fled to Xiakou in defeat
00:31:23 If he eventually joins forces
00:31:25 with Sun Quan's Wu clan,
00:31:27 Then isn't that in our best interest?
00:31:30 If Sun Quan forms
00:31:32 then he is harbouring a traitor
00:31:34 and rebelling against the Royal Court,
00:31:36 which justifies our war
00:31:39 Liu Bei, a shoe weaving Royal uncle,
00:31:43 his whole life is a failure
00:31:45 Sun Quan
00:31:46 is a young upstart with no achievements
00:31:51 When a loser join forces with a coward,
00:31:56 what can they accomplish?
00:32:02 Though my Lord is young,
00:32:03 he shows wisdom beyond his years
00:32:05 Speak frankly and don't hold back
00:32:07 The senior advisors
00:32:14 You say we can fight this war? We can't!
00:32:37 Hopefully,
00:32:38 he has some good strategies
00:32:42 This time around,
00:32:45 We are gravely outnumbered
00:32:47 How could we ever hope to fight this war?
00:32:50 We cannot fight!
00:33:28 Greetings, Your Highness
00:33:34 Mr. Zhu-ge,
00:33:35 I hear that Cao Cao
00:33:37 beat Liu Bei into the mud at Xinye?
00:33:43 The defeat at Xinye was due to
00:33:46 He did not abandon
00:33:48 who followed our troops
00:33:50 How large is Cao Cao's army?
00:33:52 A ruthless army of eight hundred thousand
00:33:54 is invading from both land and water
00:33:58 Cao Cao's real target
00:34:00 but to conquer Wu!
00:34:07 Your Highness governs the vast Southland,
00:34:09 and has many extraordinary
00:34:11 If you are determined
00:34:13 then please prepare for war!
00:34:14 My Lord! Do not fight!
00:34:16 When the late Duke was still alive,
00:34:18 he always told me
00:34:21 that nothing is more important
00:34:22 than the peace of Wu's people!
00:34:25 We cannot fight, my Lord.
00:34:30 That's right. To surrender is not so bad
00:34:33 For the cowardly, in fact,
00:34:36 That way everyone can stop worrying
00:34:39 If that is the case,
00:34:40 then why didn't Liu Bei surrender?
00:34:44 Confucius spoke of
00:34:45 and Mencius spoke of
00:34:46 Surrendering is not
00:34:49 but rather one of virtue!
00:34:51 Cao Cao,
00:34:53 controls the Han Emperor,
00:34:56 If he conquers the Southland,
00:35:01 If we surrender to Cao Cao,
00:35:06 Lord Mayor Liu Bei is of
00:35:10 His wisdom is known to the world
00:35:11 If a noble man, who has been
00:35:13 fails to succeed, then that is fate
00:35:15 But, how could he surrender to Cao Cao?
00:35:17 That would be
00:35:19 an unbearable shame!
00:35:30 However, it is fine for
00:35:33 At least, you will be able to
00:35:36 At Cao Cao's mercy,
00:35:38 he may let you remain as
00:35:40 So why not?
00:35:45 You are saying I am nothing
00:35:50 No, Your Highness shows
00:35:53 greater than that of most
00:35:57 Your Highness is capable of
00:35:59 This alone, is a major
00:36:03 My Lord, Mister Zhu-ge has come before you
00:36:05 with a plan for fighting Cao Cao
00:36:08 It would not hurt to hear him out
00:36:14 Though my Lord suffered a recent defeat,
00:36:16 we still have Guan Yu,
00:36:18 as well as the Navy that they command
00:36:21 If we join forces with the elite generals
00:36:24 the alliance will strengthen us both
00:36:27 Although Cao Cao's
00:36:29 more than half of his troops
00:36:31 and are not entirely trustworthy
00:36:32 They have traveled over
00:36:35 They are exhausted
00:36:37 As the saying goes, a worn spear
00:36:40 Moreover, Northerners are not
00:36:43 and they have no naval experience
00:36:44 Their abrupt invasion is destined
00:36:50 You make well reasoned points
00:36:53 My Lord,
00:36:55 please do not fall into Zhu-ge's traps!
00:36:57 We cannot justify fighting
00:36:59 against Prime Minister Cao, My Lord!
00:37:01 Our alliance with Liu Bei
00:37:03 will only justify Cao Cao's war
00:37:05 It is better to take Liu Bei captive
00:37:07 and turn him over as a gift to Cao Cao!
00:37:09 No! We shall first fight, then surrender
00:37:10 So that we leave Cao Cao
00:37:14 One hundred thousand
00:37:16 What kind of a war is this!?
00:37:18 Cowards!
00:37:19 All of you are shameless cowards!
00:37:22 How dare you!
00:37:24 We cannot fight
00:37:26 Your Highness,
00:37:28 I know you have been
00:37:31 The sword had been
00:37:33 Now is the time to draw the blade
00:37:43 My Lord, this Zhu-ge Liang
00:37:45 is determined to drag us into trouble!
00:37:47 Don't! My Lord!
00:37:53 Speak no more!
00:37:55 I have heard this far too many times!
00:38:08 Let me think it through
00:38:10 Let me think...
00:38:22 How beautiful!
00:38:24 This really is heaven on earth!
00:38:26 Unfortunately,
00:38:28 all of this beauty will soon turn to ash
00:38:30 Your words had almost
00:38:34 For the alliance to happen,
00:38:36 I only need to persuade one other person
00:38:39 Zhou Yu. Viceroy Zhou
00:38:40 Exactly!
00:38:41 The Duke regards him as
00:38:43 The Late Duke had also said,
00:38:46 for internal affairs, seek Zhang Zhao
00:38:48 For foreign affairs, seek Zhou Yu
00:38:50 He is now encamping at Red Cliff
00:38:51 He is the right one to seek
00:39:31 Stop!
00:39:34 Give it to me!
00:39:35 Are you not capable of holding a spear?
00:39:38 There must be power within every stroke!
00:39:41 One more time!
00:39:44 Stab!
00:39:45 Slash!
00:39:46 Strike!
00:39:48 Swing!
00:39:49 Stab!
00:39:50 Slash!
00:39:51 Strike!
00:39:52 Swing!
00:39:55 Mister Zhu-ge, the Viceroy is over there
00:40:06 Form up!
00:40:19 One other wing
00:40:34 The Goose Formation
00:40:35 Not bad
00:40:39 A pity that it is outdated
00:42:03 Give it to me
00:42:16 Your Honor!
00:42:43 You try
00:44:25 Thank you
00:44:27 Your Honor!
00:44:32 My family's water buffalo
00:44:33 was stolen from the fields
00:44:37 Some people saw...
00:44:54 Your Honor, this is Mr. Zhu-ge Liang
00:44:57 Greetings, Viceroy Zhou
00:45:00 Greetings
00:45:03 Why carry a fan on a cold day like this?
00:45:04 It helps me remain calm
00:45:06 It's the one old habit I cannot give up
00:45:09 You do not look like an anxious person
00:45:14 This way
00:45:19 What are you laughing at?
00:45:21 I am not laughing, but appreciating
00:45:24 I am appreciating that these soldiers
00:45:26 know not only how to fight,
00:45:29 You are knowledgeable in the art of war
00:45:31 Just a little
00:45:32 Yet you say my formations are outdated
00:45:38 No man but you
00:45:40 can hear me from that far away
00:45:42 I have sharp hearing
00:45:46 This way
00:45:50 General Gan, Mister Zhu-ge said
00:45:52 that your formation is outdated
00:45:53 Are you aware that a bad formation
00:45:57 I have never thought of
00:46:00 The power of the formations
00:46:03 There is no such a thing as outdated!
00:46:06 This is...?
00:46:07 This is General Gan Xing
00:46:10 Pardon me, General Gan
00:46:15 General Gan and his army,
00:46:16 used to be the most notorious
00:46:18 You cannot joke around with him
00:46:20 No problem
00:46:41 I am impressed by
00:46:48 But this elderly gentleman
00:46:50 in the rice fields near the barracks
00:46:55 Was this done by one of my brothers?
00:46:58 He who did it gave all
00:47:00 Find him!
00:47:01 Who did this despicable thing?
00:47:05 Lu Su, tell me,
00:47:07 what is the penalty according to law?
00:47:09 By law, the penalty is death!
00:47:12 Step forward. Reveal yourselves
00:47:14 Who did this? Step forward
00:47:22 I have a way to find them
00:47:24 Since the buffalo was stolen
00:47:27 then there must be mud
00:47:30 Am I correct? Yes!
00:47:40 Attention, Gan Xing Company!
00:47:42 Everyone, run to that tree,
00:47:45 around and back
00:47:47 Go! Yes!
00:47:51 Quickly! Follow up!
00:48:43 I did not drag those people out today
00:48:47 because I want to
00:48:50 The Wu army does not tolerate looting!
00:48:55 What we really need
00:48:57 is to stick together
00:49:03 I have failed
00:49:05 to train my soldiers
00:49:09 I beg your forgiveness
00:49:14 I dare not!
00:49:16 I dare not!
00:49:33 These soldiers are difficult to train
00:49:45 Yet, these soldiers, have great potential
00:49:53 Things like this happen because of
00:49:56 You gave us half of your wealth
00:49:59 Now, supplies are short again
00:50:00 So how about giving up the other half?
00:50:04 Whatever you say is fine by me
00:50:07 Then it's settled
00:50:08 Your Honor!
00:50:10 Bad news!
00:50:12 I told you
00:50:14 this friend is difficult to deal with
00:50:17 It's a breech birth!
00:50:32 Hold this
00:50:47 Luoyue,
00:50:49 hang in there
00:50:54 My Lady! The pony still hasn't...
00:50:57 Be quiet
00:50:58 She can't give birth
00:51:17 It's coming
00:51:23 Xiao Qiao, what's happening?
00:51:27 A breech birth It will come out soon
00:51:31 Your Honor, for horses...
00:51:33 Be quiet! Breech births are very rare
00:51:36 The pony has not come out for two days
00:51:40 What is happening?
00:51:43 Why is there only one leg?
00:51:51 He can't come out
00:51:59 What should we do?
00:52:03 The other leg is stuck
00:52:07 Simply dragging it out will not work
00:52:09 He is...?
00:52:11 He is Zhu...
00:52:12 He is Zhu-ge Liang, a friend of mine
00:52:15 Step back a little
00:52:17 You are knowledgeable in this too?
00:52:19 A little. I helped cows give birth
00:52:22 Horses should be much the same
00:52:25 Excuse me, let me try
00:52:56 The two front hooves
00:52:59 for a natural birth
00:54:00 The pony does not have a name yet
00:54:03 He was born in the Southland,
00:54:05 so he should have a Southern name
00:54:10 How about Meng Meng?
00:54:12 Meng Meng?
00:54:18 Meng Meng, stand up!
00:54:23 He can't stand up!
00:54:25 Stand up!
00:54:29 Come on!
00:54:31 Stand up!
00:54:41 I hope we can watch him grow each day
00:54:51 I want you to promise me,
00:54:53 when he is grown,
00:54:55 not to make him a warhorse
00:55:10 Viceroy,
00:55:11 Xiao Qiao looks like
00:55:13 she's the proud new mother herself
00:55:20 Viceroy, time is of the essence
00:55:23 War or surrender?
00:55:26 Lu Su,
00:55:27 today we are celebrating.
00:55:30 Alright,
00:55:35 Since Mr Zhu-ge is learned in music,
00:55:37 why don' t we play a tune together?
00:55:40 I know only... a little
00:55:42 You know a great deal
00:55:43 You are only hiding it
00:55:48 If you two gentlemen can work together,
00:55:51 then that will be a perfect match
00:58:56 Please
00:58:57 Thank you, madam
00:59:01 Thank you, Mr. Zhu-ge
00:59:04 My husband has not played
00:59:06 I, too, have not been
00:59:15 We still haven't discussed the war
00:59:16 How can we leave?
00:59:17 His answer is within his music
00:59:20 He will fight this war
00:59:27 I think you two can be great partners
00:59:30 His music tells me,
00:59:32 that he needs friends
00:59:36 Your music tells me
00:59:39 that you need to fight this war
00:59:52 Prime Minister,
00:59:54 desire and obsession
00:59:57 can also cause of headaches
01:00:00 Have you not heard that
01:00:05 This painting must be by Your Highness
01:00:09 Her name is Xiao Qiao
01:00:11 When I was young,
01:00:12 her father thought very highly of me
01:00:16 I saw her only once
01:00:18 Now, she is the most beautiful
01:00:22 and married to Zhou Yu
01:00:25 After I pacify Wu,
01:00:28 she will be mine
01:00:34 Gentlemen, you are all here
01:00:35 Yes, Your Highness!
01:00:36 General Cai, your ships are well built!
01:00:39 Thank you, Your Highness
01:00:41 I have guarded Jingzhou for many years
01:00:44 With the strength and
01:00:46 we will surely defeat Wu
01:00:47 Great! What?
01:00:49 The two generals are saying,
01:00:50 that our ground troops are just for show?
01:00:53 General Xia-hou, while we Northerners
01:00:56 the Southerners are experts on the water
01:00:59 T o destroy Wu,
01:01:00 we will need the hard work
01:01:03 Thank you, Your Highness!
01:01:04 General Cai,
01:01:06 What...
01:01:07 is the best food in the South?
01:01:11 River fish is the best food
01:01:14 Then...
01:01:15 what is the worst thing about the South?
01:01:17 The weather is the worst
01:01:19 This is the windy season
01:01:21 The wind can often be unpredictable
01:01:49 Victory
01:02:18 Six dragons lead my chariot
01:02:20 I will ride the wind
01:02:23 with all of the feudal lords
01:02:26 to rule the world with one name
01:04:58 On land and sea, with forces
01:05:04 I wish to meet Your Highness
01:05:08 This Cao Cao
01:05:09 really has some nerve
01:05:11 What does he mean by a hunt for Wu?
01:05:16 Brother, Smile!
01:05:20 We will get through this
01:05:23 They all want you to smile too
01:05:34 When father was nineteen,
01:05:37 he was known as the Tiger of the Southland
01:05:41 When my late brother was twenty-six,
01:05:48 I am now twenty-six,
01:05:50 yet I have done nothing!
01:05:56 It seems that my achievements
01:05:58 will never be able
01:06:03 No matter how hard I try,
01:06:06 those old advisors call me worthless
01:06:16 Brother?
01:06:20 You came at the right time...
01:06:21 He will not listen or even smile
01:06:25 My Lord,
01:06:28 What is it?
01:06:29 Cao Cao requests our surrender.
01:06:59 You have not used this for a long time
01:07:04 Let's go
01:08:38 He is cunning
01:08:41 Do you see him?
01:08:44 This beast is watching us
01:08:48 He is sinister, playing with his prey
01:08:52 Is he not like Cao Cao?
01:08:55 Though Cao Cao is Prime Minister,
01:08:59 always ambushing from the darkness
01:09:01 In the entire world,
01:09:05 Brother, what are you afraid of?
01:09:11 There!
01:09:24 T o be honest,
01:09:25 I was prepared for war
01:09:27 Cao Cao claims to have
01:09:30 yet many are surrendered
01:09:33 He can actually use only
01:09:36 Our troops have high morale
01:09:38 We have knowledge of the Yangtze River
01:09:42 Moreover, Cao Cao has no
01:09:45 But those senior advisors!
01:09:45 They are only concerned about
01:09:48 You need not listen to them
01:09:52 Your late brother once told you
01:09:54 that you are a better administrator,
01:09:57 but that he is a better commander
01:10:03 That made you lose confidence
01:10:06 But he only said that
01:10:18 Tiger!
01:10:19 Help them!
01:10:21 Go quickly
01:10:23 Get out of here
01:10:25 Can you walk?
01:10:27 Are you alright?
01:10:35 The beast is over there!
01:10:55 Go
01:10:57 Do not hesitate anymore
00:01:37 If anyone dares mention surrender,
00:01:40 he will end up like this table
00:01:50 Zhou Yu!
00:01:52 Cheng Pu!
00:01:53 Lu Su!
00:01:55 Ay!
00:01:57 I hereby appoint
00:02:07 Zhou Yu as the Viceroy in Chief,
00:02:09 Cheng Pu the Lieutenant Viceroy,
00:02:10 and Lu Su as the Consulting Commander
00:02:13 We will form an alliance with Liu Bei,
00:02:15 to stop Cao Cao's invasion
00:02:17 Understood!
00:02:49 It seems that war is inevitable
00:02:55 We cannot stop Cao Cao's invasion
00:02:57 But maybe this one
00:03:03 Just as long as there are no more wars
00:03:31 Isn't this one just like yours?
00:03:34 You sure know how to
00:03:42 Do you know why I wrote
00:03:45 Ping An' means peace!
00:03:47 So... why so many peaces?
00:03:53 'Ping An' is
00:03:58 a name...
00:04:18 Come,
00:04:20 what do you hear?
00:04:23 Listen carefully
00:04:59 I have heard rumours
00:05:02 that all the families
00:05:05 When...
00:05:07 When will I leave?
00:05:09 I won't let you leave
00:05:11 I want you to remain by my side
00:06:40 One more time! Hurry!
00:07:03 General Zhao
00:07:08 Chief Strategist, you are back!
00:07:10 This is Wu's Viceroy in Chief, Zhou Yu
00:07:15 Guan! Guan! The ospreys cried
00:07:21 from the sandy river side
00:07:25 Lovely maiden, modest and fair,
00:07:30 makes a fine match for the gentleman
00:07:35 We have no food,
00:07:37 When you grow up, you will find out
00:07:39 that reading now will give you food later
00:07:43 Well, let us read one more time
00:08:08 Great Calligraphy!
00:08:09 Damn!
00:08:11 What do you think you are doing!
00:08:19 I have always admired
00:08:22 To defeat Cao Cao,
00:08:26 This way please, Viceroy
00:08:44 My Lord, they are here
00:08:46 Your journey has been hard
00:08:50 This is Viceroy Zhou Yu,
00:08:52 Lieutenant Viceroy Cheng Pu,
00:08:54 Consulting Commander Lu Su,
00:08:55 and Veteran General Huang Gai
00:08:57 Greetings, Lord Mayor Liu
00:09:00 Gentlemen,
00:09:02 the Duke has helped all of us
00:09:04 I am sincerely thankful
00:09:07 An alliance is a friendship
00:09:08 Friends, need not be so formal
00:09:12 Dare I ask, Your Honor,
00:09:13 how many soldiers
00:09:15 Thirty-thousand
00:09:17 Thirty-thousand...
00:09:21 thirty-thousand men, are too few
00:09:24 Our men are too few?
00:09:26 Your army was defeated by just one blow!
00:09:29 What battles have you won?
00:09:30 Speak up. I only worry we might
00:09:33 So what?
00:09:34 What's worse than a defeated army?
00:09:36 What is wrong with defeat?
00:09:37 Better to be a loser than a coward
00:09:40 What are you saying?
00:09:41 I dare you
00:09:42 Brother, stop
00:09:44 Brother!
00:09:49 We are not building an alliance
00:09:50 We are making enemies
00:09:53 Viceroy Zhou, what is your opinion?
00:10:02 At this time of crisis,
00:10:03 you can still weave straw sandals?
00:10:05 This has been a habit of mine for years
00:10:08 We have walked a long way
00:10:10 Whenever our shoes are worn out,
00:10:12 Big Brother weaves new ones
00:10:15 Exactly
00:10:25 It really is strong
00:10:34 I am surprised that
00:10:37 can become so strong
00:10:48 You have a noble Lord, and brave generals
00:10:51 Generals Guan, Zhang and Zhao
00:10:53 are all invincible warriors
00:10:54 An army high in spirits can fight
00:10:59 We sons of Wu, must protect our homeland
00:11:02 We will also do our best
00:11:05 I have only one dream
00:11:07 A dream for all;
00:11:09 that is for all of us to unite!
00:11:14 United, no one can pull us apart!
00:11:35 I'm here!
00:11:37 Why are you here?
00:11:38 To go to war!
00:11:40 War?
00:11:42 War is no joking matter!
00:11:47 You think that I'm here to joke around?
00:11:49 A woman should share the responsibility
00:11:50 for the rise and fall of the Kingdom
00:11:52 So should a horse!
00:11:55 Don't go! Come back!
00:11:57 Don't be like my brother!
00:11:59 Talk to me!
00:12:00 She is...?
00:12:01 Our Princess, Sun Shang Xiang
00:12:06 Princess, have you ever been to war?
00:12:11 There is a first time for everything!
00:12:13 After I fought my first war,
00:12:15 I never wished for a second
00:12:17 I think, if she encounters any Cao troops,
00:12:20 her hands will tremble with fear,
00:12:24 Princess,
00:12:25 I see you better off at home,
00:12:34 She seem a very ambitious young lady
00:12:36 She is a tomboy. She likes fighting
00:12:40 Her maids are all fully armed
00:12:45 Who would dare marry her?
00:12:47 What are you doing?
00:13:19 What did you say to my horse!
00:13:21 I told him that his rider
00:13:24 is a scoundrel!
00:13:28 Get up!
00:13:32 Don't pull so hard!
00:13:49 Hey!
00:13:50 Hey!
00:15:13 Turn towards me
00:15:28 Prime Minister!
00:15:29 Prime Minister,
00:15:30 a messenger from Wu has arrived!
00:15:36 Bring him forth! Yes sir!
00:15:42 This way please
00:15:51 Did Sun Quan receive my letter?
00:15:54 He did
00:15:55 What is his reply?
00:16:28 This page is blank.
00:16:31 They intend to fight,
00:16:33 so they did not bother to write a reply
00:16:37 Have him, beheaded!
00:16:40 Prime Minister,
00:16:42 Liu Bei must have already
00:16:44 brazenly opposing the empire
00:16:55 Who will command their alliance?
00:16:58 Prime Minister, I guess it will be Zhou Yu
00:17:02 Zhou Yu is known not for his
00:17:05 How can such a man lead an army?
00:17:07 Prime Minister, for years,
00:17:09 Zhou Yu has remained our toughest opponent
00:17:11 Indeed, he is a skilled musician,
00:17:13 but he is an even better naval commander
00:17:15 We have suffered considerable
00:17:17 Please do not underestimate him
00:17:21 You sure do
00:17:22 give him a lot of credit!
00:17:27 Prime Minister,
00:17:28 there is one other man
00:17:30 Who is it? That is
00:17:33 Zhu-ge Liang
00:18:19 To the first hero
00:18:47 In the battle of Guandu,
00:18:50 Cao Cao cut off the noses of
00:18:53 He boxed and returned those noses,
00:18:55 instantly crushing his opponent's morale
00:18:58 Today,
00:18:59 he beheaded a man of Wu
00:19:02 to crush our morale!
00:19:06 But, we men of Wu are not cowards,
00:19:08 and we are not afraid
00:19:10 I have been waiting for this day!
00:19:14 I'm here!
00:19:15 What a commotion!
00:19:16 I won't miss tomorrow's battle
00:19:24 Zilong,
00:19:26 have there been any problems
00:19:28 The two armies have different
00:19:30 so at the start,
00:19:33 But, rest assured, I am training them well
00:19:53 Zhou Yu likes naval battles?
00:19:56 Generals Cai Mao and Zhang Yun,
00:19:58 I know you cannot wait any longer!
00:19:59 Very well,
00:20:00 you two are to command our navy
00:20:04 Cai Mao leads a strong navy
00:20:06 The water current and wind
00:20:08 So, we can launch our naval invasion
00:20:10 Prime Minister, when shall we set out?
00:20:12 Tomorrow, before dawn
00:20:13 He cannot wait.
00:20:15 No,
00:20:18 make it tonight!
00:20:19 Would he take action so hastily?
00:20:23 There is only one word to describe
00:20:25 In the battle of Xinye,
00:20:28 rushed one hundred and fifty miles
00:20:30 We had no chance to prepare
00:20:34 He places surrendered troops
00:20:36 while his own trusted army
00:20:38 Cao Hong, Zhang Liao
00:20:40 You are to lead the naval forces
00:20:42 Xia-hou Jun and Wei Ben,
00:20:44 you are to lead the cavalry west
00:20:45 to provide cover for the navy!
00:20:48 If the navy is so powerful,
00:20:51 why would they need us for cover?
00:20:58 Where will their main target be?
00:21:05 Right here!
00:21:20 That is the reason why
00:21:22 You have foreseen this
00:21:24 Yet someone said that
00:21:26 I have an even more outdated one
00:21:40 Bagua formation
00:21:43 It is indeed outdated
00:21:44 But when used appropriately,
00:21:54 What are you all talking about?
00:21:57 How can this Bagua formation
00:22:06 Once you drop, it sinks!
00:22:12 If they think I will use the navy,
00:22:14 then Zhou Yu and Zhu-ge Liang
00:22:19 General Cai, your navy is only a diversion
00:22:21 Understood!
00:22:22 Xia-hou Jun and Wei Ben,
00:22:23 take two thousand cavalries by land
00:22:26 and catch them off-guard
00:22:27 The majority of the Cao force
00:22:30 Would Cao Cao attack by water?
00:22:35 What are you thinking of?
00:22:37 Cao Cao never speaks of
00:22:39 even to his own followers
00:22:41 Truth and illusion are often
00:22:44 Cao Cao likes to play this game,
00:22:46 both with friends and with foes
00:22:55 What are you doing?
00:24:15 Halt!
00:24:32 Reporting!
00:24:34 No signs of the Wu army,
00:24:36 Nor any trace of civilians!
00:24:41 All have fled, except for
00:24:57 Charge!
00:24:58 There may be an ambush
00:24:59 Am I afraid of a few young girls?
00:26:44 Shoot!
00:28:45 The enemy has entered the trap
00:28:47 This Bagua formation
00:28:52 Form up!
00:29:35 It's a trap!
00:29:36 I predicted this ambush
00:29:39 Damn! Now the advantage is theirs
00:30:16 Kill them
00:30:34 Get back in formation!
00:30:35 Break through the shields
00:32:00 Charge!
00:36:57 Signal the cavalry!
00:37:01 I will kill Zhou Yu for this!
00:38:04 Turn!
00:38:28 Charge!
00:39:29 Attack! Kill them!
00:39:44 Get back in formation!
00:39:45 Hang in there!
00:39:49 Hang in there!
00:41:00 Viceroy!
00:43:09 Come on!
00:43:26 Attack!
00:44:12 Great! This is great!
00:44:44 Get out!
00:45:16 Reporting!
00:45:18 Your Honor,
00:45:19 Cao Cao's fleet is sailing
00:45:44 Prime Minister, our army was defeated!
00:45:45 Our cavalries have never lost a battle
00:45:48 It is only a slight setback.
00:45:55 They managed to outfox this old fox
00:46:00 Look,
00:46:01 even though we came a long way on water,
00:46:04 not one allied ship
00:46:07 Instead, they ambushed our ground forces
00:46:10 They were ready for us
00:46:13 The war against these rebels
00:46:16 shall not be underestimated
00:46:18 Prime Minister,
00:46:19 since they do not have
00:46:21 Iet's send out our navy
00:46:24 I would rather spend more time
00:46:26 preparing my troops for the naval battle
00:46:29 Sooner or later,
00:46:33 I am still waiting to carve
00:46:38 Right there! Make camp,
00:46:42 right across from Red Cliff
00:46:46 Victory! Victory!
00:47:31 So many ships
00:47:34 If we used them as firewood,
00:47:35 it would take a hundred years
00:47:39 How can we beat them?
00:47:41 Cao Cao claimed to have
00:47:43 It looks like he really does
00:47:46 So what if he has
00:47:48 With only one tortoise,
00:47:51 Exactly!
00:47:52 The delay has taken away their momentum
00:47:57 What do you think?
00:48:00 Rather than attacking
00:48:03 Cao Cao tried a rear sneak
00:48:06 He made a mistake
00:48:10 Now, he will change his tactics
00:48:13 and begin using his navy
00:48:15 Cao Cao used only two thousand troops,
00:48:19 But we know nothing of our enemy
00:48:22 We can only wait for their next attack
00:48:29 How is your arrow wound?
00:48:33 Fine. It's only a slight wound
00:48:35 I owe you this one
00:48:39 Take it easy
00:48:42 Victory! Victory!
00:49:04 They are cheering for victory too early
00:49:07 With such a good morale,
00:49:10 We need good spirits to win this war
00:49:27 Your Honor!
00:49:28 This medicine will cure
00:49:31 Please bear with the pain
00:49:53 Let me do this
00:50:46 Let me do something for a wounded soldier
00:50:50 How does my bandage look?
00:50:53 You wrapped me up like a rice dumpling
00:51:00 It seems that Cao Cao
00:51:07 He is indeed fierce
00:51:09 He is a seasoned military commander
00:51:11 He will do anything within
00:51:14 He knows how to command an army,
00:51:17 but he has no friends
00:51:20 Cao Cao is unlike you
00:51:32 This toast
00:51:33 is for Viceroy Zhou!
00:51:35 To Viceroy Zhou!
00:51:39 Me too! For Viceroy Zhou!
00:51:40 I hope he can recover soon
00:51:43 Toast!
00:51:52 We joined forces under pressure
00:51:54 but were successful beyond
00:51:56 Our brilliant victory shocked Cao Cao!
00:52:00 Duke,
00:52:01 I have a difficult favor to ask for you
00:52:04 One hundred thousand refugees
00:52:06 followed us from Xinye City
00:52:08 I have no land on which to settle them
00:52:10 After defeating Cao Cao,
00:52:12 I would like you to let me
00:52:15 Jingzhou is the heartland of the Yangtze
00:52:17 and a most valuable strategic location
00:52:19 How could you?
00:52:23 Only a righteous leader
00:52:27 owns his land
00:52:29 Indeed,
00:52:31 a righteous leader
00:52:33 may only need a small piece of land
00:52:35 The Kingdom is vast,
00:52:36 vast enough to shelter all refugees
00:52:39 But I am only afraid that
00:52:41 once soldiers settle in,
00:52:44 Those in arms are all our own men
00:52:46 If a Lord is righteous,
00:52:51 Come,
00:52:52 Iet's drink up!
00:52:53 Toast!
00:53:05 The princess is a true heroine!
00:53:14 Lord Liu,
00:53:16 my younger sister,
00:53:17 has always admired great gentlemen
00:53:20 But since she is so fierce,
00:53:23 I have always worried about her marriage,
00:53:27 as it is difficult to seek
00:53:32 Brother,
00:53:33 what are you talking about?
00:53:36 If the Liu and Sun families
00:53:38 Then it wouldn't matter how we divided
00:53:45 The war has just begun
00:53:48 I...
00:53:49 have never thought of re-marrying,
00:53:55 but...
00:54:12 Brother,
00:54:14 you must be drunk
00:54:16 What do you take me for?
00:54:19 I have found you a fine match
00:54:22 What's wrong with that?
00:54:26 Fine
00:54:27 Then, I will have
00:54:29 a hundred of my armed maids
00:54:31 guarding my door,
00:54:35 and I dare you to step in...
00:54:42 and...
00:54:44 Oh, no
00:54:52 Big Brother!
00:54:54 Big Brother!
00:54:59 How rude!
00:55:01 Brother!
00:55:04 You have never learned to respect me!
00:55:14 That's strange. What did I do wrong?
00:55:17 Big Brother's acupuncture
00:55:20 Brother! Wake up!
00:55:49 Whatever you do, don't kill my pigeons
00:55:51 Their acupuncture points are
00:55:55 I hope I didn't hurt your Lord
00:55:58 He wouldn't blame you,
00:56:02 Was I outrageously rude?
00:56:04 I think you are unique
00:56:06 It is the unique ones
00:56:12 I hate those arranged marriages
00:56:16 Women are pushed around
00:56:19 Iike chess pieces
00:56:26 You are feeding them too much
00:56:27 They won't be able to fly anymore
00:56:39 If only I was like them
00:56:47 You want to... fly?
00:56:50 I have been living in
00:56:53 It is such a bore
00:56:56 Your talents exceed those of others,
00:56:59 yet you hide them
00:57:04 Only you can see them
00:57:11 I used to go hunting with
00:57:16 Back then, the field was full of
00:57:21 Now, it has all become dark and mysterious
00:57:24 Everything has changed now
00:57:28 Before they come here,
00:57:32 I will go over there
00:57:34 to take a peek
00:57:36 and stir up some trouble
00:58:11 Take care. The weather has turned cold
00:58:17 I have served the Prime Minister
00:58:20 for three days already
00:58:22 Yet, Your Highness
00:58:26 My name is... Can you serve tea?
00:58:31 I can Do so
00:58:55 Prime Minister,
00:58:57 we can start the therapy today
00:59:09 Doctor, what's the matter?
00:59:26 Tea, Your Highness
00:59:27 Incorrect,
00:59:31 try again
00:59:37 Tea, Your Highness
00:59:41 That's the way
00:59:44 Xiao Qiao,
00:59:45 I have always admired
00:59:54 He started this war
00:59:58 all because of a woman?
01:00:16 What are you doing?
01:00:19 I just gave them a bath
01:00:20 and am drying them off
01:00:24 What if they catch a cold?
01:00:29 How is your wound?
01:00:31 It's fine
01:00:33 I heard last night was quite entertaining
01:00:37 Last night's celebration made me realize
01:00:41 that we may becomes enemies tomorrow
01:00:50 When that day comes,
01:00:51 you and l
01:00:54 will each serve our own sides
01:00:59 I cannot stand the thought
01:01:01 of a stand-off with you
01:01:04 I hope it never will happen
01:01:06 You are a brilliant commander
01:01:09 Fortunately, you are not on Cao Cao's side
01:01:11 Otherwise, you will be a big trouble
01:01:33 You've been looking across
01:01:35 What do you see?
01:01:41 I must remain calm
01:01:45 How about you?
01:01:48 I also need to remain calm
01:01:54 Cao Cao has no experience in naval affairs
01:01:56 T o cross the river,
01:01:58 he must rely on Cai Mao and Zhang Yun
01:02:03 They are both Southerners
01:02:05 They know all the rocks
01:02:09 If we can eliminate them,
01:02:12 half of the Cao navy will be paralysed
01:02:20 That... would be rather difficult
01:02:31 Cao Cao is always very wary of assassins,
01:02:35 just as his followers are
01:02:49 They have interesting fleet formations
01:02:52 Every formation has its weakness
01:02:54 It's only up to us to find it
01:02:56 That shouldn't be too difficult
01:04:37 Great!
01:04:56 I never imagined that our soldiers
01:05:31 This is what I call interesting!
01:05:42 Over all these years
01:05:45 we were never once defeated
01:05:47 But like a game of Cuju,
01:05:48 it cannot be exciting
01:05:54 For the battle of Red Cliff,
01:05:56 we are ready
01:05:59 I want to see how those rebels react
01:06:00 once we throw out the ball!
01:07:31 Shaking the earth, waves hand in hand flow
01:07:36 No earthly wine can rival the moon's glow
01:07:40 A smile knows what no words can know
01:07:45 A passing glance and all is white snow
01:07:50 Let the mind, not the hands,
01:07:55 Walls of iron cannot stop our might
01:08:00 This life, not in vain, not in spite
01:08:04 From every crucible,
01:08:09 Wipe not our tears.
01:08:13 This war is one our hearts declare
01:08:19 Victory won with beauty and flair
01:08:23 Rise together! Even a loss we can bear
01:08:27 No fear of this long night we share
01:08:30 Let the cries of war be our song
01:08:32 No comrade-in-arms
01:08:39 White waves of the Yangtze so long
01:08:42 Seething, as before,
01:08:49 Why not let the cries of war be our song?
01:08:59 Waves that crack the cliffs
01:09:16 Brief voices speak out,
01:09:21 No earthly wine can rival the moon's glow
01:09:26 A smile knows what no words can know
01:09:31 A passing glance and all is white snow
01:09:36 Let the mind, not the hands,
01:09:40 Walls of iron cannot stop our might
01:09:45 This life, not in vain, not in spite
01:09:50 From every crucible,
01:09:55 Minds in battle will clash and collide
01:09:59 in this war that our hearts decide
01:10:05 Let war bring peace to the world so wide
01:10:09 Rise up together and battle with pride!
01:10:13 Let no man fear the long night outside
01:10:15 Let the cries of war be our song
01:10:18 No comrade-in-arms
01:10:25 White waves of the Yangtze so long
01:10:28 Seething, as before,
01:10:35 Why not let the cries of war be our song?
01:10:44 Waves that crack the cliffs
01:11:27 A moment so fast, where did it fly?
01:11:29 A wine so sweet, let me drink it dry
01:11:35 A wound meant for my ally
01:11:39 is a medal I hold high
01:11:44 Every joy, every sigh
01:11:49 our laugh does belie
01:11:53 The moon lights the sky
01:12:00 Let us drink our glasses dry
