"I'm not as clever as you but I know what song you're singing" "You do not give me enough credit" "I'd never disrespect a talented Southerner but to serve Cao Cao is wrong" "You have your Lord and I have mine, but..." "No matter" "Afew days from now someone will lay Cao Cao's head at my feet" "You believe me?" "Yes, I do" "Your Honor, urgent news!" "Can't you see I have a guest?" "I know we've no arrows" "If Zhu-ge Liang fails to get more" "I'll have his head" "Maybe our friends across the river can help" "They have a more important mission" "Admirals Cai Mao and zhang Yun report" "Cao Cao's head cannot be taken just yet" "I fear..." "Do not underestimate them" "Here is their message" "Excellent!" "Mr. Jiang" "What are you doing here alone?" "Mrs. Zhou?"

"Just one of my tricks" "You do love to play tricks on me" "I'll trick you again... and again..." "Not this time you won't" "Scarecrow, you're more of a man than that fellow" "That fellow doesn't tell me a thing" "You're a better drinking buddy" "Cheers!" "Scarecrow" "Why are we heading for the enemy camp?" "You're not surrendering are you?" "The enemy!" "The enemy is approaching!" "Separate ships" "Send the left flank to intercept the enemy" "Faster" "Scarecrow, stop drumming" "What if Cao Cao's men come for us?" "They wouldn't dare" "A heavy fog might hide an ambush oh so you've decided to talk to me" "Ready all archers" "Shoot at first sight" "Ready!" "All ships line up!" "This is a plot to turn us against each other" "We're not fools" "Would zhou Yu use such an obvious trick?" "Sometimes the simplest trick is the best way to lead someone to their death" "Shoot" "Your Highness, whether this is a trick or not we should proceed with caution" "What if their navy mutinies?" "That would be a disaster" "Shoot!" "Besides the letter" "I heard them mention friends here would get them arrows" "Don't worry" "Scarecrow will protect you" "Cease drumming!" "Call Admirals Cai Mao and zhang Yun in for questioning" "They are out training the fleet" "If they are not here, then their handwriting is" "Bring their letter of surrender" "Ready, all ships about-face!"

"Cheers" "Nothing but scared mice" "Return to your positions!" "Return to your positions!" "Thank you Prime Minister for your gift" "Thank you!" "Thank you!" "Marvelous!" "Mr. Zhu-ge!" "Look!" "How did you know the fog was coming?" "A clear Milky Way and snaking clouds signal fog is near" "If you know how earth, sky, yin and yang change then the sun, moon and stars the wind, forest, mountains and fire become soldiers at your command" "So you can read Mother Nature's moods, huh?" "We lost one!" " What a shame" "Hey, come back!" "A small victory hardly deserves such a reception" "Your Highness" "A small victory?" "How many men did the enemy send?" "Fog covered the river." "Impossible to see" "If you could not see, how did you repel them?" "Firing at will forced retreat" "Firing at will?" "How many arrows is that?" "About one hundred thousand" "About one hundred thousand" "And why didn't you pursue them?" "Fog meant possible ambush, Your Highness" "So..." "Again with the fog" "Seems like you are hiding something in that fog" "Look, a boat is floating this way" "Pull it in" "Your Highness" "Can't you tell a soldier from a scarecrow?" "One hundred thousand arrows?" "You're mighty generous" "Please forgive me, Your Highness" "I deserve death, Your Highness" "Today it's arrows" "Tomorrow it's my head, am I right?" "Zhou Yu is turning us against each other" "No spy is stupid enough to..." "Silence!" "I trust and honor talented men" "But I abhor deceivers and traitors" "Guards!" "Your Highness, we have trained day and night" "Take them away and behead them" "We swear our loyalty to Your Highness" "Didn't I surrender to a benevolent ruler?"

"Ninety-three thousand eight hundred" "Ninety-four thousand" "Ninety-four thousand two hundred" "Ninety-four thousand six hundred" "We'll shoot Cao Cao with his own arrows" "This battle will be interesting" "Concentrate!" "No mistakes" "Wait" "Don't interrupt" "Two hundred per person." "There'll be no mistakes" "Mr. Zhu-ge, what is this new invention?" "A rapid-fire crossbow" "It shoots ten arrows without reloading" "Here, watch" "Great" "Ninety-nine thousand four hundred" "Ninety-nine thousand six hundred" "Impressive!" "You know a trifle about weapons design too" "Knowing a trifle about everything gives life more color" "Your Honor" "Did he reach one hundred thousand?" "The total is ninety-nine thousand six hundred" "Now what?" "Well..." "Your Honor, it's only four hundred" "Short one is still short" "The law is firm as a mountain" "That's right." "So what does the law say?" "The law prescribes beheading" "Bastards!" "What took you so long?" "Hurry and bring them over" "Thank god!" "The total is one hundred thousand two hundred" "Mr. Zhu-ge has completed his mission" "Seems like my head is safe where it is" "How about yours?" "You want my head?" "Mr. Zhu-ge" "We're just joking" "When I lost was he joking?" "Of course not" "Looks like you haven't lost after all" "Cao Cao has executed Admirals Cai Mao and zhang Yun" "I think we've been duped" "Steal the enemy's weapons then destroy their moral" "Your strategies worked together brilliantly" "Cao Cao must be going crazy right about now" "In two or three days, he will try something desperate" "But this will not be good for Jiang Gan" "I've lost an old friend" "Honored guests zhou Yu is just showing off his cleverness" "He undoubtedly thinks I have gone crazy" "Tell me, do I look crazy?" "Not at all" "Come, let us root out the traitor then we can sleep easy." "Cheers!" "Jiang Gan" "Yes" "Today you were of great service" "Please drink" "Thank you, Your Highness" "Sir!" "Sir!" "Are you..." "Your stupidity was trivial" "But you brought your stupidity upon me" "Hear this!" "In two days, our army shall cross the river and take Red Cliff!" "Yes, Your Highness!" "All hear this!" "In two days the army will cross the river" "What's going on here?" "There's a spy!" "Catch the spy!" "Halt!" "Don't let him escape!" "Grab him!" "Piggy, why do they want to hurt you?" "It's a misunderstanding" "A misunderstanding?" "What's going on?" "He's a spy" "Nonsense, he is my friend" "Friend?" "Are you stupid?" "Come on, they're beating up the commander" "Afight!" "What is the fight all about?" "Nothing, just some roughhousing" "Pit" "Pit" "Piggy, are you all right?" "I have to go" "Piggy" "Where are you going?" "My mother is sick." "I must go home" "That's very kind of you to visit her" "You should go home too" "No, I'll return after the war" "Fighting means no taxes" "That means more food on the table" "Hurry, go visit your mother" "I will come back to see you" "Ride high" "Don't let him escape!" "He's just going to see his mother" "Hit him!" "Pummel him!" "In eighteen years of battle" "I have never lost" "If I fail to capture this tiny cliff" "I shudder to think what historians will say" "Yes" "Your Highness" "How are things?" "Worse than expected" "The disease's spread has not slowed" "At this rate it will take a month to control" "I respectfully request you delay the assault" "Stop!" "Lie still" "Your Highness" "Sit up" "You are ill and must recuperate" "Man Tun, how can you be ill?" "You were always in perfect health" "What is on your mind?" "Go ahead" "I want to go home" "I too have not been home for a long time" "I want to see my youngest son" "He is only thirteen" "Younger than you even" "He is kind-hearted and bright" "He has been frail since birth and is often sick" "Yet in front of me he pretends everything is fine" "Whatever the illness, he endures" "He never complains to me" "I swore at the start of this war to cleanse the world of warlords" "We must seize Red Cliff and storm the capital" "Then bring the mud of this land back home and tell our families we were victorious" "We were victorious!" "So you all must be strong" "because I must bring you back home" "Victory!" "Victory!" "Greetings everyone" "Sorry for the wait" "We're glad you're back safe" "Did you have any problems?" "No" "No I just fell into the mud jumping the stockade" "I just fell into the mud jumping the stockade" "Shang Xiang" "You're always causing trouble" "Where have you been?" "They are ready to attack" "Shang Xiang" "You're back" "Xiao Qiao" "Shang Xiang?" "Xiao Qiao please help me pull this" "Go ahead, pull it" "This is a map of Cao Cao's camp" "This tower here is Cao Cao's headquarters" "Their best troops guard it" "The barracks are here" "East and west are well-defended" "The rear hill is weakest" "It's like a tiger that stares ahead but forgets its tail" " The navy is here-Put this on" " You'll catch a chill" "I'm not cold" "Athird of their forces are onboard ready for assault" "Warships lead the smaller boats" "Transport ships are in the middle" "This is an interlocked naval formation" "I'm fine" "Every ship is ready for attack or defense" "I was wrong to scold you" "If you were zhou Yu how would you attack?" "He only has enough men for one assault an all-out attack on our fleet" "They will want to attack with fire" "Fire?" "I doubt it" "Without manpower, they need strength" "Where can they get it?" "Fire of course" "This is a standard rule of war" "Too bad it won't work" "A northwest wind is blowing" "If they attack our fleet with fire they will be fighting the wind and burn themselves" "We are the ones who should use fire" "Yes, load the ships with brimstone" "Tomorrow, we shall burn Red Cliff to the ground!" "The map shows" "Cao Cao's army has finished deployment" "Tonight may be the decisive battle" "This is a fight to the death" "Win or lose, we must fight with everything we have" "Shang Xiang" "What are these lines between the ships?" "It sounds funny" "They've locked their boats together to stabilize the fleet so the Northerners won't get seasick" "Enough talk" "What is your strategy?" "Cao Cao made camp in a bad location" "It is hook-shaped" "This makes return difficult" "If their assault fails, they cannot fall back" "We should use fire" "The terrain is in our favor" "If we can burn the fleet's vanguard they will be trapped and vulnerable" "Yes, a fire attack!" "Just give me ten fire ships" "Two will hit their left and right flanks" "The remaining eight will ram the center" "We'll burn an opening here!" "Next, you follow closely and rush in" "No matter how great their numbers we will crush them" "If only we still had Liu Bei's cavalry then we could attack their camp at the rear" "Then victory would be assured" "This wind is to Cao Cao's advantage" "A northwest wind is blowing" "Sailing into the wind will burn our own fleet" "Cao Cao knows the wind is on his side" "He will also think of using fire" "Why are you so quiet?" "What are you looking at?" "Look, those dark clouds in the east are enshrouding the sun" "Isn't that rather unusual?" "Zhu-ge Liang, what does that mean?" "The winds will change" "I know from farming if during a warm winter clouds enshroud the sun then along the Yangtze River an unseasonal wind will blow" "What do you mean unseasonal?" "Awarm southeast wind" "It blows from southeast to northwest" "What if Cao Cao knows this too?" "Only Admiral Cai Mao would know and he is dead" "Zhu-ge Liang" "Can you predict when it will change?" "Tonight or tomorrow morning" "History shows the timing of weather is key" "He who can predict it will win" "We must delay his attack only then will we have a chance at victory" "Greetings, General" "Terrific, just terrific" "This fish oil is perfect!" "Bigger" "Yes, General!" "No good." "Bigger!" "Yes, General" "No good." "Bigger!" "Just how big do you want it?" "Go" "That's about right" "Yes!" "This is it!" "See how strong this west wind is?" "It will never shift" "We'll never get near their navy" "Your Honor, I can fake a defection" "Invent some excuse to punish me with fifty lashes" "I'll fake a surrender in anger" "That way Cao Cao is sure to believe me" "Then I can sail my fire ships in range" "How can you fight after such a beating?" "I could never treat a general that way" "Do not lose heart" "The east wind will come" "The east wind will come Your Honor" "Your Honor" "Terrible news!" "Our Lady has disappeared!" "My dear husband, by the time you read this" "I will be on the way to Cao Cao's camp" "I will be cautious and only act when the moment is right" "Yet I hope the east wind will come early" "Where there is faith, there is hope" "The clear waters of the Yangtze the emerald leaves of the mountains" "the birds returning to nest the fisherman singing his evening song" "This is our home our beautiful native land" "our people gladly give their lives for her sake" "I cannot stand idly by" "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 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's 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!"

"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?"

"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 hear many Southland soldiers have fallen ill" "Yes" "I hear 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" "Victory is yours What need is there to fight on?" "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?"

"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."

"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?" "Impossible!" "Enemy ships approaching!" "General, enemy ships approaching!" "Hurry, separate the ships!" "Separate ships!" "What is that?"

"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" "Don't give up, my brother Guan Yu!" "Guan Yu!" "Where is Liu Bei?" "All speed ahead!" "Break formation!" "Launch spears!" "Forward!"

"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 scum" "Little boy" "This has been quite an enjoyable hunt" "What do you want to hunt?" "Tigers" "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!"
