Secrets of Three Kingdoms (三国机密 / San Guo Ji Mi)

Carry the wounded back!

Jie, you must stay cautious.

You must too, Zhi.

Are you all right?

I'm all right.

Attack the city!

Whoever gets up the walls first will be promoted to Battalion Commander!

Fire!

Fire!

Bring the guillotine!

Kill them all!

Take down Lulong!

Take down Lulong!

Bad news! There are enemies behind us!

Reinforcements? It's our reinforcements!

The reinforcements are here!

We'll leave the fort to Your Majesty.

I'll lead a troop through the center of their army

to meet up with the reinforcements.

That's not the right way.

I'll go.

I'll attack their left flank.

Why?

The reinforcements must be light cavalry, so it's hard to encircle the enemies.

We should head to the commander.

Trust me. Safeguard the fort.

I'll seize the emperor of Han.

You'll take the main forces to block and attack the others.

Keep the rear safe!

Yes!

Those at the back! Charge!

Attack!

Protect His Majesty!

Go and save His Majesty quickly!

It'll be too late if you don't!

I'll lead the soldiers to His Majesty's rescue!

Get back here!

Your responsibility lies in safeguarding the city walls!

If we lose the fort, will you have him stranded out there alone?

Attack!

Charge!

Sima Yi is here with the army!

Capture Kebineng alive!

Capture Kebineng alive!

Bastards!

Retreat!

Meet up with the main forces!

Retreat!

You did well surviving!

I didn't make it here for nothing!

Even if Sima Yi can bear to leave China without an emperor

Zhong Da can't bear to lose Yi He!

Give me a break!

- Kebineng has escaped. - Don't worry.

Pan Yang is at the rear.

Although there aren't many in his troop

he's best at taking the head off the commander-in-chief.

They are retreating!

Wang Yue's swordsmanship?

He's the assassin who assaulted Minister Cao that day.

- I'll arrest him. - Hold on.

Sneak up on him from behind.

Then kill him.

Yes!

Retreat! Retreat to the back!

Retreat!

Retreat!

They have retreated.

I heard you.

I heard you.

Whoever captures the chieftain alive will be conferred

as a marquis of 1,000 households!

The chieftain is dead!

Run!

Quickly!

Chieftain!

Your chieftain is dead.

Surrender.

- Empress. - Zhi!

- Are you hurt? - I don't know.

I thought you wouldn't be here!

It doesn't matter if I'm wounded.

We've won.

We won it well.

How could I not come to your aid?

You're all really impressive.

I rushed the whole way for fear that I wouldn't make it in time.

It's His Majesty and Zhi who are impressive.

Your Majesty, Kebineng is dead.

His deputy general is now guarded by Lu Yu.

Your Majesty.

Wasn't it Sima Yi who broke the encirclement for you?

Where is he now?

He's gone to meet up with Pan Yang.

Come and give us a hand!

Coming!

Be careful!

Help me up.

- Slowly. - Thank you.

Slowly. I'll help you.

Come!

- Can someone lend us a hand? - Stop.

How did he die?

I'm not sure.

We found him in the mountain.

He went after Kebineng.

It was a very intense battle so we're not sure how this happened.

It was really intense then.

I met up with Young Master Lu there to go after Kebineng.

If not, I'd have saved him for fighting alongside us

even if he used to serve another master

or was another kind of person in the past.

This one is still alive! Quickly!

Coming!

Bear with it.

I'm the emperor.

I swore to avenge all of the soldiers who were killed.

Your tribe surrendered to Great Han and paid tribute for 20 years

but you broke our promise first.

You attacked my city and killed my people.

Now that your chieftain is killed

what should I do with your tribe?

You can just kill me!

You snuck an attack on Lulong because someone leaked to you

the information that Lulong is defenseless, isn't it?

Now that your chieftain is dead

do you want to have the entire tribe buried with him?

I really don't know.

The messenger was a former subordinate of Yuan Shao.

He said that it's confidential information

from a high ranking official of Han.

He sounded so believable.

Our chieftain took his words for real.

As for the mastermind behind it, our chieftain, didn't tell us.

The clans of the Xianbei Tribe have long been fighting against one another.

Now that your tribe has suffered many casualties and lost your chieftain

what will happen next?

Anyway... our chieftain was deceived.

The gods mean to annihilate our tribe.

What if I give you another chance?

What?

I can send you home.

I can even confer the chieftain's younger brother as the new chieftain.

But you must all swear upon your gods never to kill or stir up trouble again.

You'll also have to be an advocate of the Han Empire's approach.

I don't wish to be enemies with any of your clans.

You can have the seeds and mulberry trees for sericulture.

As long as you remain on good terms with the imperial family

you can gain more benefits without having to go to war.

Do you really... mean it?

A sincere and honest collaboration between the chieftain and me

would help the Central Plain and the Xianbei Tribe the most.

Why would I deceive the chieftain?

The sinner greets Your Majesty, the Emperor of Great Han!

I thank the emperor for your godly benevolence!

Untie the general.

Lu Yu, escort the generals to get some rest.

Count the casualties.

Treat the fugitives kindly.

Yes.

After you.

I haven't seen you in a few months

and you've already learned to make good judgments.

I had planned to play the nice person and intimidate him.

Who knew that you were quite good at giving him both carrot and stick?

Thank you for the encouragement.

I was thinking about it on my way here.

You aren't even willing to shoot at a living being.

How were you going to fend off enemies and hold the fort for 10 days?

I thought that I could defend my morality and principles

by not taking lives.

I realized that was because you had me protected too well.

Now that I've witnessed what the real world and battlefield are like

it's actually easier not to take lives.

But it takes more courage to fight valiantly in order to save lives.

You allowed me to find what I believe in.

This is where I found it.

The battlefield of the world is too huge.

I won't be able to protect you forever.

Guo Jia...

Is he already dead?

Who knew that the man I held in awe was now buried in the wilderness?

This is so disheartening.

When we return to the Imperial Court

I'll have him brought back for a grand funeral.

It's a pity that I met him too late.

He hoped that I could join forces with Cao Cao to pacify the turbulent times.

He regretted not being able to assist with this matter.

As for me, I'd like to work with Guo Jia to accomplish great things.

A collaboration?

I'm afraid Cao Cao wouldn't share the same sentiment.

The Cao family already considers the nation to be theirs.

My plan is to collaborate with Cao Cao first

to pacify the Central Plain and end the war.

As for the throne and authority

if we have to fight over it

I hope the smallest sacrifice possible can be made.

Moreover, Cao Cao is already old.

Isn't Cao Pi quite close to us?

Do you really believe in his friendship?
