(Duke Wenxin of Qin, Lv Buwei)
Duke Wenxin,
you rejected the Prime Minister Seals
of four states
and only wish to die.
What are you planning?
You spent all your money
and came to Qin despite the risks.
What are you planning?
I've come to Qin
for something big.
After it's done,
I will no longer
be an unscrupulous merchant,
but a duke and prime minister.
If I live,
I will only idle my time away
be rich and noble all my life.
But if I die,
the world can stop panicking.
The six states can stop
their hidden agenda.
And His Majesty
and Qin can have fewer obstacles.
Don't you think
that's worth it?
Lv Buwei,
if you had known how you would end up,
would you have still come to Qin
and be the Prime Minister?
I would.
Because I saw
a unified world.
Let's share the breast plate.
We shall go up the line.
Let's make your lances shine.
Your foe is mine.
Are you not dressed for battle?

(In 235 BC,)
(the 12th year of the reign of Zheng,)
(Lv Buwei)
(committed suicide in Luoyang.)
(In 13 years of his political life,)
(he helped two kings of Qin)
(granted amnesty, awarded good officials
wiped out Eastern Zhou,)
(brought talents
and built water projects.)
(And laid a solid foundation)
(for the King of Qin to unify the world.)

(gathered the strengths
of different schools,)
(and is extensive and profound.)
(It's been handed down to this day.)
(Qin's Minister of Justice, Li Si)
(Zhangtai)
Li Si,
(King of Qin, Zheng)
I didn't let him die
so how could he die?
Your Majesty,
Duke Wenxin died for you
and for the great Qin.
Duke Wenxin
didn't want you
to be distracted by him.
Top General.
Your Majesty.
Three days later,
you must wipe Zhao out.
Yes.
(General of Qin, Li Xin)
Please make me Deputy General
(General of Qin, Li Xin)
to assist Top General in the battle.
Granted.
Thank you, Your Majesty.
Your Majesty,
we have lost Duke Wenxin
and we grieve with you.
But I don't think
now is the time to attack Zhao.
The six states are forming an alliance.
(Lord Weiyang of Qin, Ying Xi)
We might not succeed at one stroke.
And it will push the six states to bond
to fight against Qin.
(General of Qin, Wang Jian)
Your Majesty,
(General of Qin, Wang Jian)
(Top General of Qin, Huan Yi)
the last time we attacked Zhao,
you carefully laid out a plan.
You first brought Guo Kai to our side,
then convinced Zhao Yan to attack Yan.
Han, Wei and Yan
were tormented by Zhao Yan
and begged you
to punish Zhao as soon as possible.
It was exactly because
we had good timing and support
that we defeated Pang Nuan,
and killed Hu Zhe.
Before we decide to attack Zhao now,
Your Majesty,
please think twice.
I agree with General Wang Jian.
Zhao is weak with Zhao Yan's gone.
But it still has some power
to fight against Qin.
Top General,
what are our odds
of defeating Zhao?
I won't say we'd definitely win.
But the odds are 70 to 30.
Top General.
(Grand Commandant of Qin, Liao)
Did you hear that?
Gentlemen,
although Zhao is strong,
after their defeat in Changping,
they haven't restored their strength.
Although they have
elite soldiers and generals,
the imperial court is corrupted.
You are only worried about Li Mu.
If Li Mu defeats me,
General Wang Jian can fight him.
If General Wang Jian is defeated,
we still have Duanhe, Li Xin,
Meng Tian and the others.
We cannot win every battle in war.
But since His Majesty has ordered,
the generals shall share weal and woe.
Then we will take Handan,
and wipe out Zhao.
A determined army is bound to win.
We swear to destroy Zhao
and avenge Duke Wenxin.
Your Majesty,
before they set out,
we must make sound preparations.
I have made up my mind.
Your Majesty,
we cannot send troops to Zhao
just because Duke Wenxin died.
Your Majesty empathizes
for your godfather.
But you shouldn't
involve personal feelings
in state affairs.
If we're not sure of winning,
we shouldn't go to war.
If we can't wipe them out,
we shouldn't attack.
A war shall start from justice,
instead of personal resentment.
Strike after the enemy has struck,
then we shall win.
We cannot take the initiative to attack.
Zhao schemed
to have our Duke Wenxin killed.
It's unjust.
So overthrowing Zhao is for justice.
It's your wishful thinking,
yet the six states will not agree.
It's a great taboo in wars.
Do I need
the other states to agree?
Then how am I
going to unify the world?
We are devoted
to your ambitions.
But if you make the wrong decision,
you may fail to unify the world.
Please say no more.
I have made up my mind.
Top General.
Your Majesty.
Three days later,
set out to take Zhao down.
Your Majesty.
Shut up.
(Battalion of Qin)
Report.
Top General,
three days' march in the southwest,
Zhao's troops are camping.
Who is the leading general?
Li Mu.
Their barracks are quite strange.
Look again.
Yes.
Go take a look.
Yes.
Top General,
Zhao army has set up
two camps in the east
and the west.
They must be set to confront with us,
forcing us to withdraw.
Zhao's barracks are rather large.
Each barrack
has 50 thousand soldiers.
Li Mu knew his troops were inferior,
so he camped here to confront us.
Or maybe he followed
what Lian Po did
to fight Lord Wu'an.
Top General,
let me lead our men to challenge,
and fight with that Li Mu.
Even if you broke your voice,
Li Mu would not come out to fight.
General.
Scout reported
Qin army has also camped.
(General of Zhao, Li Mu)
How many?
(General of Zhao, Li Mu)
One.
General,
since they haven't settled down,
send our cavalry to raid them.
Time is not ripe yet.
General,
our men
are filled with resentment.
As long as you give orders,
we're sure to defeat the Qin army.
Right, General.
Let's fight them.
Huan Yi is an experienced general.
Don't underestimate him.
We're not as powerful as them.
So we must wait
for an opportunity.
Then we can win.
General,
we are all eager to fight, General.
Right, let's fight.
When you get back,
ask your men to restore their strength.
When the time is ripe,
we'll give them a heavy blow
so that
they wouldn't dare
step into our territory.
Yes.
Top General,
we have been confronting for many days.
We challenged many times,
yet they never showed up.
And only used arrows
to block our attack.
Zhao's two camps are side by side.
If we attack the west camp,
the east one might attack.
If we attack the east camp,
then the west camp might come to help.
It's a tough battle.
Li Xin.
Yes.
What do you think?
Li Mu is experienced.
The two camps he set up
seem to be defensive,
but they're also offensive.
He's hard to deal with.
I think
we can besiege the east camp
luring the west camp out.
And kill them.
It seems like a good plan.
But it's hard to put it into practice.
Their camps are organized,
with deep trenches and high ramparts
that are hard to attack.
If they refuse to come out
and take the challenge,
we might have unnecessary casualties.
So in your opinion,
we can only
confront Zhao army here.
And wait to attack until
they expose their weakness?
Waiting too long
is bad for our morale.
Grand Commandant and Minister of Justice
both disagreed with going to war.
If we don't win a quick victory,
His Majesty might punish us.
We can only
confront Li Mu's two camps.
One day's march away
from Zhao's camps,
set up two camps of our own.
After the camps are completed,
we divide forces to attack Zhao.
Top General,
we must be cautious.
The lives of 100 thousand soldiers
are in my hands.
I won't act rashly.
From tomorrow on,
start building new camps.
After they're completed,
we'll decide what to do next
based on Zhao's actions.
Top General is thoughtful.
We shall follow his orders.
Yes.
Soldiers,
quickly line up.
Assemble.
Anything happened in Zhao's camp?
Same as before,
hiding in their camp.
The scouts reported,
that Zhao's soldiers were
either training or playing
or drying clothes.
Nothing abnormal was going on.
Divide forces.
Yes.
Hold on.
Tell the soldiers,
that they have to be cautious.
Don't let Zhao army
discover our movements.
Yes.
Brothers,
fight the enemy!
Report.
Top General,
on the way to the camp,
our soldiers were attacked
by Zhao's cavalry.
Li Xin.
Yes.
Send the chariot battalion to back up.
Top General,
if I lead men to fight,
the guard in our camp will be weakened.
Zhao soldiers might attack.
No worries.
I know how to guard it.
Yes.
Chariot battalion assemble.
Top General,
Zhao troops are coming.
Alright.
Act according to plan.
Yes.
Fire.
Fire!
Charge!
This...
Top General,
we're outnumbered.
We're losing the camp.
Let's withdraw.
Withdraw?
We have to fight even if we might die.
Charge!
Fight the enemy to death.
Fight the enemy to death
with Top General!
Fight the enemy to death!
Top General,
you're the leading general.
You cannot fight in person.
I will not let my soldiers
get wiped out.
No, Top General.
Dare to stop me again,
I'll kill you!
Top General,
the main force of our infantry
has arrived at the east and west camp.
Good.
But Zhao has used all its forces
against our central forces.
Our central camp
might not be able to hold it.
Order the whole troop
to go westward to Pingyang,
and guard the city.
Attack when time is ripe.
Yes.
Top General's order,
retreat westward to Pingyang.
(Pingyang, Qin)
Stop.
How many soldiers have arrived?
60 to 70 thousand.
Nearly half was lost.
Top General,
the pressing matter
is to secure Pingyang.
Move all the arrows,
stones and beams to the top
of the city wall.
Yes.
Come with me.
Open the gate, open the gate!
Open the gate!
Open the gate!
Who's there?
We got separated by Zhao troops.
Let us in.
Open the gate.
Open the gate.
Wait a minute.
General,
several hundred
of lost soldiers have returned.
Archers.
Archers.
Brothers,
open the gate.
And let's fight Zhao together.
Right.
Fire.
General.
Fire.
Fire.
Top General.
You're observant.
They disguised as Qin soldiers.
Their clothes and armors were shattered,
yet their weapons
were intact.
Observant.
I've learned.
You just have to leave Pingyang,
then I'll stop chasing.
Pingyang is the city of Qin.
If you want to take it,
you'll have to trade your life for it.
If I'm correct,
you only have
50 or 60 thousand people.
The food is only enough for three days.
Don't be concerned
about our problems.
Raise your bows.
Raise your bows.
Retreat.
Ge...
General,
the city gate is broken.
Order
all soldiers to attack,
and exterminate
the Qin army in the city.
Yes.
Defend with your life.
Report, General.
I have news.
The main force of Qin army is coming.
They're 30 li from Pingyang.
Report.
Report, General.
Wang Jian's men
attacked our rear army.
Qin's reinforcement
should have arrived ten days later.
The chance to eliminate Huan Yi is gone.
Retreat.
Yes.
Retreat.
Don't panic.
Top General,
reinforcements are coming.
Reinforcements are coming.
Reinforcements are coming.
Reinforcements are coming.
Reinforcements are coming.
Send a group of men
to welcome General Wang Jian.
I'll wait in the city.
Yes.
Reinforcements are coming.
Reinforcements are coming.
Reinforcements are coming.
Great!
Our reinforcements are here.
Our reinforcements are here.
Yeah, great.
General.
His Majesty
discovered Li Mu's trick,
and ordered me to support.
Where is the Top General?
He's waiting for you
in the city.
(Qin)
(Qin)
Your Majesty,
I
bid you farewell.
(Qin)
(Your Majesty trusted me,)
(Qin)
(yet we suffered heavy casualties.)
(Qin)
(I've let Qin people down.)
(Qin)
(I have failed as Top General,)
(Pingyang)
(and am too ashamed to meet you.)
(Death is the only way to apologize.)
(May Your Majesty take all six states,)
(and unify the lands.)
(A hundred kowtows from Huan Yi.)
General,
I wish to escort
Top General's coffin
back to Xianyang.
Alright.
When you've returned,
you shall tell His Majesty
the war status here.
(Qin)
Top General!
Don't worry.
Though the states haven't been taken,
peace hasn't been restored,
I will continue
to fight for the great Qin.
(Qin)
Good.
(Crown Prince of Yan, Dan)
Today,
we drink until we're drunk.
Until we're drunk.
The battle in Fei was fought well.
Crown Prince,
since Zhao has won,
will they change their target
and bully us again?
Although Zhao covets Yan,
they don't have enough power.
Qin is our biggest threat.
Crown Prince,
Prince Fei of Han's secret letter.
Prince Fei invited me to Handan
to help Zhao attack Wang Jian.
And join hands with the other states
to take Hangu, and attack Xianyang,
to eliminate Qin.
Crown Prince,
now is the time to escape from Xianyang.
Right.
Qin army was crushed
in the battle in Fei.
The whole state is in grief.
Lord Weiyang and Prince Jie
are busy dealing with the aftermath.
It gives us a chance to leave.
(Qin)
(Zhangtai)
Greetings, Queen Dowager.
(Queen Dowager Huayang of Qin)
You may withdraw.
Li Xin shall stay.
Yes.
You may rise.
Queen Dowager,
my crime is unforgivable.
Follow me.
Please return.
The souls of Qin's elite soldiers.
Please return.
The late Kings
who dreamed to charge east,
your souls shall not go west,
for it is freezing cold.
In the king's land,
elites abound.
The wise King of the great Qin,
your soul shall return.
The wise ruler of the great Qin...
(Qin)
Your Majesty,
this is Top General's will.
(In the 14th year of the reign of Zheng,)
(General Huan Yi led his army
to attack Zhao)
(and was defeated
by Zhao General Li Mu.)
(Since Zheng started unifying the states,)
(he has never suffered such heavy blow.)
(He reflected on himself,)
(and explored the next steps)
(to unify the lands.)
I want to be in the death squad
at the front of the formation
to kill Zhao people.
You're only 14.
You might not even become a soldier.
Don't tell them that later.
I must join the army.
Ok.
I won't tell them.

Yes.
Brothers,
fight the enemy!
Report.
Top General,
on the way to the camp,
our soldiers were attacked
by Zhao's cavalry.
Li Xin.
Yes.
Send the chariot battalion to back up.
Top General,
if I lead men to fight,
the guard in our camp will be weakened.
Zhao soldiers might attack.
No worries.
I know how to guard it.
Yes.
Chariot battalion assemble.
Top General,
Zhao troops are coming.
Alright.
Act according to plan.
Yes.
Fire.
Fire!
Charge!
This...
Top General,
we're outnumbered.
We're losing the camp.
Let's withdraw.
Withdraw?
We have to fight even if we might die.
Charge!
Fight the enemy to death.
Fight the enemy to death
with Top General!
Fight the enemy to death!
Top General,
you're the leading general.
You cannot fight in person.
I will not let my soldiers
get wiped out.
No, Top General.
Dare to stop me again,
I'll kill you!
Top General,
the main force of our infantry
has arrived at the east and west camp.
Good.
But Zhao has used all its forces
against our central forces.
Our central camp
might not be able to hold it.
Order the whole troop
to go westward to Pingyang,
and guard the city.
Attack when time is ripe.
Yes.
Top General's order,
retreat westward to Pingyang.
(Pingyang, Qin)
Stop.
How many soldiers have arrived?
60 to 70 thousand.
Nearly half was lost.
Top General,
the pressing matter
is to secure Pingyang.
Move all the arrows,
stones and beams to the top
of the city wall.
Yes.
Come with me.
Open the gate, open the gate!
Open the gate!
Open the gate!
Who's there?
We got separated by Zhao troops.
Let us in.
Open the gate.
Open the gate.
Wait a minute.
General,
several hundred
of lost soldiers have returned.
Archers.
Archers.
Brothers,
open the gate.
And let's fight Zhao together.
Right.
Fire.
General.
Fire.
Fire.
Top General.
You're observant.
They disguised as Qin soldiers.
Their clothes and armors were shattered,
yet their weapons
were intact.
Observant.
I've learned.
You just have to leave Pingyang,
then I'll stop chasing.
Pingyang is the city of Qin.
If you want to take it,
you'll have to trade your life for it.
If I'm correct,
you only have
50 or 60 thousand people.
The food is only enough for three days.
Don't be concerned
about our problems.
Raise your bows.
Raise your bows.
Retreat.
Ge...
General,
the city gate is broken.
Order
all soldiers to attack,
and exterminate
the Qin army in the city.
Yes.
Defend with your life.
Report, General.
I have news.
The main force of Qin army is coming.
They're 30 li from Pingyang.
Report.
Report, General.
Wang Jian's men
attacked our rear army.
Qin's reinforcement
should have arrived ten days later.
The chance to eliminate Huan Yi is gone.
Retreat.
Yes.
Retreat.
Don't panic.
Top General,
reinforcements are coming.
Reinforcements are coming.
Reinforcements are coming.
Reinforcements are coming.
Reinforcements are coming.
Send a group of men
to welcome General Wang Jian.
I'll wait in the city.
Yes.
Reinforcements are coming.
Reinforcements are coming.
Reinforcements are coming.
Great!
Our reinforcements are here.
Our reinforcements are here.
Yeah, great.
General.
His Majesty
discovered Li Mu's trick,
and ordered me to support.
Where is the Top General?
He's waiting for you
in the city.
(Qin)
(Qin)
Your Majesty,
I
bid you farewell.
(Qin)
(Your Majesty trusted me,)
(Qin)
(yet we suffered heavy casualties.)
(Qin)
(I've let Qin people down.)
(Qin)
(I have failed as Top General,)
(Pingyang)
(and am too ashamed to meet you.)
(Death is the only way to apologize.)
(May Your Majesty take all six states,)
(and unify the lands.)
(A hundred kowtows from Huan Yi.)
General,
I wish to escort
Top General's coffin
back to Xianyang.
Alright.
When you've returned,
you shall tell His Majesty
the war status here.
(Qin)
Top General!
Don't worry.
Though the states haven't been taken,
peace hasn't been restored,
I will continue
to fight for the great Qin.
(Qin)
Good.
(Crown Prince of Yan, Dan)
Today,
we drink until we're drunk.
Until we're drunk.
The battle in Fei was fought well.
Crown Prince,
since Zhao has won,
will they change their target
and bully us again?
Although Zhao covets Yan,
they don't have enough power.
Qin is our biggest threat.
Crown Prince,
Prince Fei of Han's secret letter.
Prince Fei invited me to Handan
to help Zhao attack Wang Jian.
And join hands with the other states
to take Hangu, and attack Xianyang,
to eliminate Qin.
Crown Prince,
now is the time to escape from Xianyang.
Right.
Qin army was crushed
in the battle in Fei.
The whole state is in grief.
Lord Weiyang and Prince Jie
are busy dealing with the aftermath.
It gives us a chance to leave.
(Qin)
(Zhangtai)
Greetings, Queen Dowager.
(Queen Dowager Huayang of Qin)
You may withdraw.
Li Xin shall stay.
Yes.
You may rise.
Queen Dowager,
my crime is unforgivable.
Follow me.
Please return.
The souls of Qin's elite soldiers.
Please return.
The late Kings
who dreamed to charge east,
your souls shall not go west,
for it is freezing cold.
In the king's land,
elites abound.
The wise King of the great Qin,
your soul shall return.
The wise ruler of the great Qin...
(Qin)
Your Majesty,
this is Top General's will.
(In the 14th year of the reign of Zheng,)
(General Huan Yi led his army
to attack Zhao)
(and was defeated
by Zhao General Li Mu.)
(Since Zheng started unifying the states,)
(he has never suffered such heavy blow.)
(He reflected on himself,)
(and explored the next steps)
(to unify the lands.)
I want to be in the death squad
at the front of the formation
to kill Zhao people.
You're only 14.
You might not even become a soldier.
Don't tell them that later.
I must join the army.
Ok.
I won't tell them.
