I have been carrying our child Ping An for three months
I did not tell you
fearing it might distract you
We cannot in caring for our child
and forget the children of the Southlands
I want to see them grow up together
to have a future where they can play,
swim, pick flowers
and plant rice in peace
(Your child Ping An)
(Pregnant)
Do not fear
I shall bring Ping An home
Some traditions still carry great meaning
For example, rice flour and sugar
stick together like a family at reunion
Over here! Bring the cart here!
There are sweet rice dumplings for everyone
Today is winter solstice, a time for reunion
Everyone have some rice dumplings
Two or three per person! Eat up!
Officers and soldiers alike, come on
Two or three per person! Eat up!
Come on...
Give me a bowl
Zhang Fei, you're making them too big
Do you want us to choke?
Fine with me. I couldn't be happier
Zhao Yun
Has your wound healed from combat practice?
So long as I can fight, a wound means nothing
Guan Yu, how many times have you read the classics?
If a man of learning does not understand brotherhood,
isn't his learning worthless?
My Lord, what are we doing here?
Waiting
Waiting for what?
Waiting for Zhu-ge Liang
Waiting for his return, so we can go home
Do we still have a home?
Sons of the Southlands, listen
Today is the winter solstice,
a day for family reunion
Yet thieves encircle our home
How can we celebrate like this?
I say let us drive them from this land
Then we shall have our celebratory family meal
Here!
My Lord
Though I sometimes disagree with you,
I have never said a word against you
But this is a choice between right and wrong
I acted for the good of us all
yet you lecture me for being unrighteous
You have followed me so long and for what?
I just want to ensure we live on
There are some things I value more than my life
Zhou Yu, may your plans come to fruition
We will fight the good fight
Zhou Yu's wife is here
She came alone
Zhou Yu,
we must alter our plan of attack
Consider your wife's safety,
I will send our best men
around back to rescue her
No changes
All our forces must be focused on frontal assault
We cannot divide our strength
Your Honor, we stand alone on the battlefield
Without allied support,
the chance for victory seems slight
I have never given up on my dream
Victory cannot rest on dreams alone
When will the east wind come?
Based on new observations,
at around one o'clock
If at that time you still trust your friends,
light a lantern for a signal
If misfortune befalls Xiao Qiao,
will you still fight a war of honor?
I saw you once in the back of your family's estate
Though young, you were already a great beauty
You were studying the tea ceremony
and liked catching butterflies
Did you launch this war for me?
You believe that?
My father was very fond of you
At that time, Cao Cao believed in justice, ideals
and loyalty to the Han throne
He was a young hero
How else could he have become Prime Minister?
By killing many people
I heard many Southland soldiers have fallen ill
Yes
I heard Liu Bei has fled
and the alliance is broken
Yes
Then Zhou Yu must be a lonely man
Did he send you?
This was my idea
Why are you here?
Please withdraw your troops
Victory is yours
What need is there to fight on?
No
Zhou Yu shall kneel before me in surrender
What is this?
I am not here for my husband
but for the people of this kingdom
Please end this war
And if I refuse?
Stop playing
You must witness how I defeat Zhou Yu
What's on your mind?
Just thinking of a silly friend
The times make the hero
After this battle,
I will have time to savor your tea
Just one cup?
Lt'll help you relax
Fine
No one's ever given us respect
So what?
Who cares so long as we respect ourselves?
Listen up!
Our boats will soon charge Cao Cao's fleet
No man jumps ship until their ships burn
Yes, sir!
Any problem with that?
No, sir!
That's what I thought
Have you all written to your families?
Yes
Don't rush
Appreciate the tea's color and bouquet
Oh
Why is the Prime Minister waiting to attack?
The wind is behaving strangely
I know
He is drinking tea with that woman
Tea?
What makes brewing tea so difficult?
Leaves, heat, water, and utensils
All demand study
Yet the hardest is boiling water
Boiling water?
Look!
The wind has stopped
At first boil, bubbles hiss and resemble tiny fish eyes
At second boil, the edge simmers like a fountain
This is when tea is finest
At third boil, the water seethes and spurts
Any further and the water is past its prime
Your Honor, the wind seems about to shift
It's time to attack What are we waiting for?
Our allies
What allies?
Liu Bei fled days ago
This is all part of Zhou Yu's plan
Some plans are best kept quiet
Enough! It is full!
Your Highness
Don't you see your true self reflected in this tea?
Your heart is overflowing with ambition
It's too full to let other people in
You've carried this full heart to Red Cliff
Someone here shall pour that heart onto the floor
Your Highness
You do not understand the art of tea
Your Honor, tell us what we must do
At two o'clock,
the ten fire ships will ram Cao Cao's fleet
burning through their vanguard
With the fleet broken,
Zhao Yun will hit the east gate
to divert their attention
Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei
will overwhelm Cao Cao's camp from the west gate
Doctor!
Your Highness
Call Doctor Hua Tuo. My head aches
Your Highness, Hua Tuo has left
What did you say? Hua Tuo is gone
Cast off!
What is this wind?
It's an easterly wind, Your Highness
It shifted? Lmpossible!
Enemy ships approaching!
General, enemy ships approaching!
Hurry, separate the ships!
Separate ships!
What is that?
That is their lanterns, Your Highness
Forward
Zhou Yu. I have done all I can
Tonight will decide the fate of the empire
There must be no mistakes
Zhu-ge Liang,
you weren't lying after all!
Report!
Boats are approaching fast
Separate ships immediately
Separation has already begun
Light the fires!
Forward
Hurry over here!
All speed ahead!
Hurry, separate the ships
Faster
Retreat! Protect the main gate!
Faster, toward Cao Cao's flagship!
Strike as powerful as thunder
Charge!
Go ahead. Charge!
Follow me
Shoot!
Launch catapults!
Hurry, the enemy is approaching
Look, over there
Your Highness! Terrible news!
They have broken through the stockade!
Why are you panicking?
Do not forget you are a general
I...
Try to endure the pain
Reinforce Zhang Fei! Move!
Your Highness, the rear gate is under surprise attack
It is Liu Bei's allied forces
Liu Bei?
Free the horses!
Pull!
Shoot!
General Gan,
we must save energy for inside
You must break down this gate
so we can join our allies
otherwise all is lost
No problem Good luck
Halt
Tear down the barricade!
Shoot!
Forward
Attack the main gate
Come on soldier
Hang in there
General Gan!
Individual bombs aren't strong enough
Run! The fire is coming!
Give me all your fire bombs
There's only three left
No retreat! No surrender!
This is it!
All forces attack!
Shoot!
Your Highness
The navy is lost
East, south, and west... all three sides have been sunk
It seems like they went up in flames too
Yes, Your Highness
All is quiet below
The fire is too fierce!
Stay together at all costs!
Don't get separated!
Your Highness
Perhaps retreat is best
Retreat?
With our best soldiers still remaining?
They would give their lives for me
Even if all would die, they must fight
This is military power
All together! Charge!
Fight me if you dare
Come back here!
Come on, you traitor!
General!
Don't give up, my brother
Guan Yu! Where is Liu Bei?
All speed ahead!
Break formation!
Launch spears!
Forward!
Crush them or die trying
Hang in there
I oversaw the end of every warlord
I saw the end of one here and one there
The end of all but here
Just in time
I knew you wouldn't let me down
I said we would meet again
Gan Xing sacrificed himself
But not in vain
The fire is approaching
We must save Xiao Qiao now!
First find Cao Cao
We have lost
all because of that accursed woman
She ruined our chance to attack
I'll kill her
Kill her
Come no further
Don't let the enemy through
That way, quickly...
Protect the Prime Minister! Get them!
Pit?
Pit
It's me, Piggy
Piggy?
Piggy
You came to see me
I said I would
Piggy
Still want to play Ride High?
I'll kill that witch
Don't move
Zhou Yu
Viceroy Zhou
The traitor Cao Cao Silence!
You shall call me Prime Minister
I never guessed I'd lose to a gust of wind
Because you don't understand the Will of Heaven
I never dreamed I'd be defeated by a cup of tea
For you, war was just a tea ceremony
Such a pity
You never knew what you were fighting for
I come by order of the Emperor
to subdue rebels like you
We are not rebelling against the Emperor
but against you You pest
Little boy
This has been quite an enjoyable hunt
What do you want to hunt?
Tiger
By the looks of you
You are a far cry from your father
Shoot!
I am prime Minister of the Emperor's court
Death is too good for rebels like you
If you declare allegiance to me,
I can pardon you
Kneel down, all of you
Your time is over
Lay down your sword
Your Highness, kill them!
Kill them all
Xiao Qiao!
Are you both safe?
We are both fine
We lost
all because of you!
Kneel down before me
Kneel to me and I will spare Xiao Qiao
We won't let you harm her
"We"?
You mean"them"?
That motley troop?
They are my friends
War knows no friends
Tomorrow, they shall be your enemies
General!
Push her off! Die!
Your Honor!
Are you both all right?
Let's go
I promise I will take you home
Go
Go back to where you came from
There is no victor here
Meng Meng
Go on now, go
Meng Meng
From division comes unity, and from unity, division
Liu Bei won't stand being second best
One day, we will face each other on the battlefield
No man can tell the future
The world is full of heroes
But you're the one I most fear offending
You would be an opponent I truly fear
Me?
I'd best return home and get some sleep
Are you a good farmer?
I planted lotus flowers once
but none lived long
Do not be humble You have brought peace to the land
In this alliance, I found true friends
No matter what may happen,
this experience is engraved in my heart
I too will not forget
Zhu-ge Liang,
when Meng Meng has grown, do not make her a war horse
Don't worry
These hands helped birth her
I shall always cherish her
