"In this case" "We could send somebody to assassinate King Huai of Chu first" "And claim it's Liu who kills him" "Because he wants to be the emperor" "Then we can justify our attack in the name of revenging for King Huai" "I thought you haven't thought about this?" "I still recalled the delicious braised fish in Xianyang" "I should eat more before losing all my teeth!" "This is the best plan!" "Assassin!" "Protect Majesty" "Xiahou Ying!" "Drink?" "Fan Kuai!"

"Why don't we attack the city right now?" "Yu!" "I've told you many times" "You should see the essence of everything" "What you need to take is not the city alone" "But the support of its people!" "The one you should defeat is not Liu Bang alone" "But also yourself!" "Y afu!" "You have been with me once I was young and" "You have always helped me in solving any difficulties and made decisions" "I'm not worried so long as you are here" "It seems that I have spoiled you" "Does it mean that I have to retire?"

"It's Kun Gua on the upper sixth section." "It is an ill omen!" "Somebody will assassinate us tonight!" "Warriors reside in Qian while intellectuals reside in Kun" "The assassin is coming after me!" "Fan's wisdom is much better than mine" "If we can eliminate him" "We can defeat Xiang Yu without a fight" "We should focus on the key point" "And take the initiative to attack" "I really want to meet this Zhang Liang" "Send my order to soldiers that" "They do not need to guard tonight" "In order not to alert the assassin!" "I will stay here and meet the visitor by myself!" "I have just cooked some noodles" "My Lord, you haven't eaten anything for the whole night!" "You must eat something no matter what happens!" "The curly-beard man hasn't returned yet" "He must have encountered something bad!" "We've heard nothing about Han Xin's rescue of King Huai of Chu" "What should we do?" "My Lord you must endure all the humiliation to secure the bigger picture!" "The more advantages Xiang Yu owns" "The more likely he will be eaten up by his pride" "We should take this opportunity" "T o tempt him to make the key mistake!" "My lord!" "Lord Xiang's envoy asks Lord Liu to attend the banquet now" "All your military forces must stay in the city and wait for order!" "Xiao He" "My Lord" "Xiao He!" "The result of this meeting is uncertain" "You should get my seal if anything bad happens" "Make yourself the Lord, and start the undertaking again!" "My lord!" "All soldiers kneel down!" "My Lord, you're blessed by God" "And I will guard Xianyang till my last breath" "I would rather die than surrender!" "Never surrender..." "Never surrender!" "Xiao He, thank you so much" "Very good!"

"She is so important to Your Highness" "So I dare not to treat her carelessly" "Now she is being taken care by my men" "Liu Bang, who is the owner of today's world?" "Of course it's you, my Lord" "Do you know you have made a mistake?" "Yes, I do" "Since Liu Bang knows his mistake" "He should, according to the military protocol, drip blood as the alcohol" "And worship to the heaven, earth, and man to apologize" "Yes, my Lord!" "Cheers!" "Please be seated General Liu!" "We'll talk later!" "Thank you, your highness" "Which one of you is Zhang Liang?" "I am Zhang Liang."

"Liu Bang has just became the lord of Hanzhong" "It is uncertain what his moves are" "If he strikes us by surprise while our army is away" "We can't fight both ends, and we'll lose" "Based on lord Xiang's military force" "We can totally divide the troops" "Since Mr. Zhang is so knowledgeable" "How could one conquer the world on his own?" "Why do you give us such an incomplete plan?" "I do have a plan" "Since Liu Bang has conceded his allegiance to you" "You could order him to invade the vassals" "Then you could use the vassal's help to kill Liu Bang" "And be the Emperor" "Do you still think this is an incomplete plan?" "Please welcome the messenger from Chu" "Since Lord Xiang asks us to send the army" "How can we disobey him?" "Xiao He, it's a not easy for me to be here" "Please stay at Hanzhong days." "We'll be a good host" "Bring up the best feast" "Y es" "He is the messenger sent by Lord Xiang" "Treat him nicely" "Yes!" "General" "Serve the dishes now" "Fan Kuai!" "Why are you serving the best feast?" "He's the envoy sent by Lord Xiang" "Of course we should serve the best" "If he is sent by counselor Fan Zeng" "Of course it's alright" "He has saved my lord in numerous situations" "My lord owes him a great debt of gratitude" "However the envoy visiting now is just sent by Lord Xiang" "There's no need to waste our best feast." "Put them away" "We couldn't fully trust the envoy" "What does Mr. Zhang think?" "We should test Fan Zeng again" "So as not to blame the wrong guy" "Counselor!" "Our scout said" "Liu Bang is sorting out his army" "I think we should take a preemptive attack" "To spare future troubles" "After all, Liu Bang has special amnesty from King Huai of Chu" "We need to find an excuse to kill Liu Bang" "King Huai of Chu is always a trouble" "Why don't we kill him first?" "You mean killing King Huai of Chu?" "Didn't you ask me to kill King Huai of Chu during Hongmen Banquet?" "Yu, times has changed" "Counselor!" "Does it apply to your loyalty to our Xiang family too?" "You are making the biggest mistake!" "Lord Xiang wants to see you" "My lord" "You and your family" "Have always treated me with respect" "And listened to my opinions" "That's all our counselors' want!" "The fact that you want to see me today" "Means that you still cherish our relation" "That's enough for me!" "All good things must come to an end" "I want to give you a bag of tips before I go" "If you experience danger" "Or think of me in the future" "You could open it and have a look!" "Yafu!" "Sir" "Zhang Liang, you are here" "I know you'll come" "I can't wait too long" "My apology!" "I have pushed the limit too far this time!" "Zhang Liang" "You have made a brilliant move this time" "I knew you were special during the Hongmen Banguet" "I can tell you now" "You are just like the me when I was young!" "Don't feel bad for me" "I've been waiting for an opponent" "like you my whole life" "Enemies are like the two sides of a mirror" "Just like Xiang Yu and Liu Bang, or you and me" "Don't waste any more time" "Let's finish the fifth game" "Sir, sir" "Sir" "Zhang Liang." "There is a kind of chess game..." "May I Zhang Liang, a survivor of Han" "Present to my Lord that the general" "Should be able to distinguish people's qualities before he learns the art of war" "Counselor Fan Zeng has served three generations of Xiang family" "But he was discarded like a homeless dog" "We all feel bitterly disappointed for this" "Good birds choose the best trees to rest" "I will go back to Liu Bang's camp" "Hope Lord Xiang will make careful decisions" "So as not to die alone" "Get the army and horses ready!" "Let's act now!" "Yes, my Lord!" "My lord!" "Liu Bang is at Hanzhong" "Based on his army force, even if he has Zhang Liang to assist him" "He won't be a threat to us as long as we don't act rashly" "Xiang Bo" "I know you are kind" "Even if I don't eliminate Liu today" "He will eventually eliminate me one day?" "I said it was all meant to be at the Hongmen Banquet" "There is only one could survive between Liu Bang and I" "What if King Huai of Chu stops us again?" "General Han" "My Lord" "Xiang Yu has killed King Huai of Chu" "People all hate him" "The eight vassals would like to help me to suppress him." "General Han..." "How many soldiers can my Lord lead at most?" "Less than 1 00,000" "Then how can you control the eight vassals?" "How about you?" "For me, the more the merrier" "Having completed the mission" "I need to get what I should deserve" "It seems like I have underestimated Liu Bang" "I know I can't stop you from fighting" "But I'll go through the war with you" "Stop chasing!" "8 vassals have all arrived" "It'll be too late if you don't leave now!" "How dare you all try and stop me" "Please don't go My Lord" "What's that place in the front of us?" "It is Wu River." "Here's Wu city" "My Lord!" "Your ladyship!" "This is Liu Bang's secret order" "He has ordered the allies to attack tomorrow" "He persuades me not to make this unnecessary sacrifice" "You've surrendered to Liu Bang?" "I just want peace in the world" "And good relations between the Xiang Yu and Liu Bang" "There's nothing I can do now" "It's meaningless to stay in this war" "Success or failure is all depending on an attitude" "There's only you,Yu Ji who can persuade Xiangyu to leave" "I really regret that" "I haven't held your hand like this more often" "We could start again" "Yu Ji" "We have come to the end" "Look at this land" "It will be full of Liu Bang's army very soon" "I have asked Xiang Bo to take you to a safe place" "Where no one can find you, including me" "But you have promised that I could stay with you" "I think..." "You should have a second" "Chance to choose" "Prepare to fight" "This song could beat the morale of Xiang Yu's army" "Hopefully we could win the battle without killing more lives" "What are you doing?" "I want to go home" "Do you think what you have done will fail Lord Xiang" "Don't Leave" "This is the moment when Lord Xiang need us most we can't Leave!" "I want to go home" "Go home, go home, go home" "Anyone who escapes now will be executed!" "Stop!" "You've all followed me for many years" "Even though I'm your lord" "You are all like brothers to me" "T oday, we are surrounding by enemies" "All of you don't owe me" "But I do" "Please remember" "All of you will always be my brother" "Take care and" "Goodbye!" "Yafu." "You have been with me once I was young and" "You have always helped me" "To solving any difficulties and make decisions no matter what" "Xiang Yu, does it mean." "I have to retire" "So that you could really grow up" "No one can come in!" "I had a dream on the way" "I dreamt of a white haired couple sitting close to each other" "I envied them and so I walked closer to find out who they are" "Then I realized I knew them" "It's you and me" "I want you to spend the rest of your life with me" "I don't want to drag you into this..." "Just like when we first met" "I don't want you to get involved" "Liu Bang must send his envoy to persuade us to surrender" "Wait until they are eased out" "We shall start fighting" "Liu Bang!" "Xiang Yu, I've been waiting to tell you myself that" "Only one of us can survive between us" "You are right." "But I'll survive" "Not you!" "Both the world and people will be mine!" "Xiang Yu!" "We used to be sworn brothers" "So long as you admit your defeat today" "I shall let you go back to Jiangdong!" "Kill" "Xiang Zhuang" "Xiang Zhuang" "My Lord" "Please lend me your sword" "I am the only one who can kill him and let him rest in peace" "I lied to him" "Yu Ji" "We'll never be separated again" "Do you want to be with me?" "I do" "My lord!" "We found this bag of tips in the camp" "I've persuaded Han Xin to surrender" "It is hoped that my Lord could last for a while" "Wait until for the reinforcement of Han Xin to arrive" "And save us" "After winning the battle" "I have promised to shared Han Xin, Zhang Liang and others" "Share the world and wealth" "I shall wait for your order and hope that you will take my advice" "I could only play the game this way" "Congratulations to Lord Qi on taking the seal!" "Xiao He..." "Xiao He..." "There's a game called where both sides suffer losses" "Get away!" "General Fan cannot proceed" "How dare you trying to stop me?" "Where were you all when I fought with your Majesty?" "Stop!" "My lord!" "I..." "I know what you want to ask" "They plan to kill me!" "If I don't kill them" "They'll kill me!" "I have to do this" "I..." "I still want to say it" "I haven't met you for a long time" "I know something is wrong and I'm worried about you" "Therefore I am here to see you" "When I left home with you and fight the war" "I said that" "I will believe in whatever you said" "But..." "I'm not well-educated" "What you've said and done today" "I have really confused me!" "I am the emperor now" "I can give you whatever you want" "You are Emperor?" "Could you take off you imperial robe?" "Can you do this for me?" "Stop" "We have promised to help you in completing this achievement" "Now..." "Now I'm not useful to you anymore?" "Now I'm not useful to you anymore?" "You have promised us that we could have drinks at home after the war" "Do you still remember?" "My Lord, Fan Kuai has to..." "Fan Kuai has to leave" "Sir, could you tell us who exactly are you?" "I'm just a person who likes playing Weiqi" "Once I had a close friend" "He hired me to play with another Weiqi master" "Then, I realised my real opponent is my close friend" "I won't see the doctor again" "I thought you were dead!" "I'm alive because I need to see you" "I want to ask you" "Is that the result you are expecting?" "All these years" "I'm scared each and every day" "I feel everything they said is a plot" "All the food they gave me is poisoned" "Your Majesty!" "After your death" "Which one of prince would succeed your position?" "I remember Yu Ji has asked me a question once" "Do you know the cost of going to the banquet?" "I know going to the Hongmen Banquet" "Means I need to try my best to guess and trick the other side" "Who violate the order will be executed" "The cost is that you'll lose the capacity to trust anyone" "In Hongmen Palace" "I have already built monuments without characters to memorize" "Those who die because of me" "Zhang Liang" "I have no one to trust now" "Zhang Liang" "Could you do me one last favor?" "Now that everything is predestined" "It's unnecessary to be stubborn and persistent!" "Things are hard to predict" "But you can't mix up right or wrong" "T oday I persist to do one last thing for Yu Ji" "Yu Ji My Lord" "Thank you for listening" "The Hongmen Banquet is finally over" "I should leave now" "Sir, where are you going?" "I'll need to find another master to play Weiqi with" "And see if a win-win situation is possible" "Zhang Liang" "I need to ask you again" "Do we seriously have to play against each other?"
