Qin Dynasty Epic
Episode 70
Two years later, Lantian Battalion, Qin
Qin
Greetings, Your Majesty.
Qin
King of Qin, Zheng
Lord Changping of Qin, Mi Qi
Offer the wine!
The ceremony is done!
Match the Tiger Seals!
Top General of Qin, Wang Jian
General of Qin, Yang Duanhe
General of Qin, Li Xin
Give the battle axe!
Receive the flag!
We surely won't fail your orders.
We vow to eliminate Zhao!
Elite warriors of Qin!
Eliminate Zhao
in this battle!
-Yes!
-Yes!
Zhao
is a big stumbling block for Qin
in unifying the states!
It's also the strongest opponent
of Qin!
Only by eliminating Zhao
can Qin continue the unification!
Only in eliminating Zhao
can the states be unified soon!
I believe that you
can surely invade Handan
and accomplish great things for Qin!
I will wait for your victorious return
here in Xianyang!
Long live Your Majesty!
Long live the great Qin!
Long live Your Majesty!
Long live the great Qin!
Long live Your Majesty!
Long live the great Qin!
Long live Your Majesty!
Long live the great Qin!
Go out to battle!
In 229 BC,
in the 18th year
of King Zheng of Qin's reign,
Qin sent troops in three directions
to attack Zhao.
Zhao also sent
their elite warriors to resist them.
The battle of elimination
between Qin and Zhao broke out.
Longtai Palace, Handan, Zhao
King of Zhao, Qian.
Queen Dowager of Zhao
His Majesty, Queen Dowager
Lord Chunping of Zhao, Zhao Yi
are leading the imperial family
Prime Minister of Zhao, Guo Kai
and all the officials to greet him.
Does Lord Wu'an
deserve that?
Lord Wu'an successfully resisted
the Qin army many times
and protected Zhao.
If you've accomplished that too,
the whole state will also come
to greet you.
I don't deserve that.
Qin is attacking us
from three directions.
You should carefully think
about how to assist Lord Wu'an
and protect Zhao.
The battle between the two states
depends on national power.
How can we let the fate of our state
depend on one person?
We're faced with a national disaster.
Whoever is harboring selfish intentions
is surely a traitor.
The people of Zhao
will surely k*ll him.
Lord Chunping!
Don't slander me!
Zhao's survival is at stake,
and you two are still arguing.
-Queen Dowager...
-Lord Chunping!
In the face of a great enemy,
we should be united in resisting
foreign aggression.
Prime Minister, you're right.
Lord Wu'an.
The Qin army is invading our borders.
How should we drive them back?
General of Zhao, Li Mu
Queen Dowager.
General of Zhao, Li Mu
I've already confirmed.
Prince of Zhao, Cong
Qin is attacking us
from three directions.
First.
General of Qin, Wang Jian,
is coming from the middle.
He's mobilizing troops from Taiyuan,
going through Taihang, Jingxing
to come to Handan.
Second.
Li Xin is coming from the north
to attack our northern territory.
Third.
Yang Duanhe is coming from the south,
leading troops
to attack our South Great Wall.
Their objective
is to block the transportation
between us and Wei and Chu.
Wang Jian's army in Jingxing
is the main force in attacking Zhao.
The Qin armies in the south and north
are working in coordination.
If the troops from three directions
surround Handan together,
we cannot defend Handan.
I would like to lead the troops
from the border in a long-distance raid.
I'll stop Yang Duanhe in the south,
and resist Li Xin in the north.
Afterwards,
I'll battle with Wang Jian's troops
in Jingxing,
and find an opportunity to defeat him.
I definitely won't allow the Qin army
to come near Handan city's gate.
All right.
Very good.
Since we have you,
His Majesty and I
feel a lot more at ease.
Lord Wu'an.
There are hundreds of thousands
of Qin troops,
and there are less than
Can we resist
Qin's fierce troops?
Don't laud Qin's power
and lower our own morale.
If others say
that they can resist hundreds
of thousands of Qin armies,
of course I won't believe it.
But Lord Wu'an defeated the Huns
in Dai,
and defeated Qin in Fei and Fanwu.
In this world,
who can defeat Lord Wu'an?
If Lord Wu'an says that he can resist
the Qin army,
I have no doubts about it.
Zhao doesn't need to worry.
Prime Minister.
After Qin made Han fall,
they prepared for two years
before they're attacking Zhao.
They must have come prepared.
We can't belittle them.
Your Majesty, I'm confident
that I can resist the Qin army's attack.
However, King of Qin is determined
to eliminate Zhao.
He'll surely order Wang Jian to have
a long battle with us
in order to weaken Zhao.
In the battle between two armies,
Zhao should definitely not be confused
by Qin.
That's one.
Second.
Qin has Bashu in Guanzhong
where there are lots of fertile lands.
Food reserves aren't a problem.
And they have roads
leading to Bashu, Guanzhong,
and Shang Commandery.
Qin can keep transporting food reserves
to their army in Jingxing.
Yet Zhao suffered repeatedly
from natural disasters.
It's hard to get food reserves.
I'm not afraid of how good
the Qin army is in battles.
I'm only worried that our army
won't have enough food reserves.
Lord Chunping,
Prime Minister.
Raise funds to get food reserves.
We can't let Lord Wu'an
worry about that.
-Yes.
-Yes.
Attack!
Queen Dowager.
How is the battle situation?
Lord Wu'an is leading the army
in battling with Qin.
It's hard to tell who's winning
and losing.
What about the food reserves?
Handan's supply of food reserves
is enough to supply the army
for one month.
What should we do after one month?
Lord Chunping and I
are thinking of ways to get more.
Because of the natural disasters,
in Zhao,
almost all the farmlands
have no harvest.
Currently, what's hardest to get
is millet.
Don't save any money
in buying from the four states.
Queen Dowager.
Qi and Yan
don't have a harmonious relationship
with Zhao.
The roads to Wei and Chu
have been blocked by the Qin army.
It's not an option
to seek assistance from other states.
Does God want to make Zhao fall?
Without food,
no matter how strong the warrior is,
he won't be able to defeat
a three-year-old child.
Is envoy of Qin, Dun Ruo
still in Handan?
Why are you asking about him?
Tell him to come and see me.
Yes.
Queen Dowager.
Queen Dowager.
Sir.
What should we do in order
for King of Qin to withdraw its troops
and spare Zhao?
Official of Qin, Dun Ruo
For Zhao to surrender
and give Handan to my King.
Zhao can give ten cities
in return for King of Qin
to withdraw its troops.
If Zhao doesn't surrender,
Qin will definitely not withdraw
its troops.
Is there no room for negotiation?
No.
You...
The troops are shedding their blood
on the b*ttlefield,
and you brought Dun Ruo into the palace
to incite Queen Dowager to surrender
to Qin?
You traitor.
Lord Chunping, get off my back.
Who is it?
Queen Dowager.
Prime Minister and Lord Chunping
are fighting.
Sir.
Please let me think about it.
I must k*ll you today
to rid the state of evil!
Do it!
Strike my neck!
Don't think about living after k*lling
the Prime Minister of Zhao.
This is ridiculous!
Queen Dowager.
Queen Dowager.
This traitor is colluding
with envoy of Qin.
He's a spy in the imperial court.
Please give me orders to k*ll him.
I was the one who wanted to see Dun Ruo.
It has nothing to do
with Prime Minister.
Queen Dowager.
What's the matter?
You don't believe
what I said either?
Queen Dowager.
We surely can't show weakness
to Qin again.
Lord Wu'an sent an urgent report.
Our army already defeated
General of Qin, Li Xin,
and stopped Yan Duanhe's invasion
in South Great Wall.
Now, Lord Wu'an
is going to Jingxing
to stop Wang Jian's troops
from attacking Handan.
There's hope for Zhao.
Top General sent a letter.
Li Mu's troops from the border
did a long-distance raid.
They resisted
our troops from the south
and north directions
and stationed in Jingxing.
Qin's Minister of Justice, Li Si
Due to geographic advantages,
Li Mu was able to use natural barriers
for defense.
Grand Commandant of Qin, Liao
It's hard for our army to progress.
Lord Weiyang of Qin, Ying Xi
Zhao only has over 100 thousand troops
from the border,
yet they've defeated our army
many times.
Li Mu
is brilliant in military strategy
and swift in battle attacks.
He's a big problem for Qin.
Grand Commandant.
Do you have a good plan
to defeat Li Mu?
Li Mu is a great general.
He's comparable to Bai Qi back then.
Zhao trusts Li Mu.
That's why Zhao is able to survive.
Top General pretended to attack to lure
the enemy many times,
but Li Mu wouldn't battle with him.
If Qin wants to have a quick victory,
we can only do what we did during
the Battle of Changping.
Cause division within Zhao,
making Zhao replace their general.
I'm afraid that won't work.
In Dun Ruo's letter,
he mentioned that the entire Zhao
is relying on Li Mu.
From King of Zhao and Queen Dowager
to Handan's scholars and citizens,
they all view Li Mu
as Zhao's only savior.
I think
Zhao would never replace Li Mu.
His Majesty pardoned Guo Kai.
It's time for him to repay Qin.
We can order Guo Kai to assist Dun Ru,
and think of a way
to convince King of Zhao.
We tried that too.
The people of Zhao are like a flock
of scared birds now.
If we try to convince Zhao to replace
their general at this point,
I'm afraid we'll achieve
the opposite effect.
Do what you know you should not.
Your Majesty.
Li Mu can stop us for now,
but he can't stop us forever.
Qin's national power
is something Zhao cannot compare to.
I want to put pressure on Zhao
in terms of national power.
Your Majesty,
if we don't eliminate Li Mu,
it will be hard for our army
to invade Handan.
If we do a head-on attack on Jingxing,
our troops will surely suffer
a great loss.
Your Majesty.
As what Minister of Justice said,
if we try to cause division in Zhao now,
I'm afraid Zhao won't
easily believe it.
Your Majesty.
With Zhao's defeat in the Battle
of Changping as a precedent,
they'll surely have reservations
in replacing their general.
However, we can
not aim at Li Mu,
but sow division among the officials
in Zhao,
causing internal strife in Zhao.
Everyone in Handan feels insecure.
Its king and officials are suspicious
of each other.
Splendid.
Minister of Justice.
Command Dun Ruo to give money and gifts
to the imperial family of Zhao
and its officials.
And he must let Queen Dowager
and King of Zhao know about this.
When the morale
of citizens and troops in Zhao
becomes low,
it's time for it to replace its general.
Yes.
Sir.
Long time no see.
I especially came here
to visit you today.
You're already an official of Qin.
Why did you even come here?
Close the door.
Jingxing, Zhao
Qin
General of Zhao, Sima Shang
Retreat!
General of Qin, Wang Ben
Handan
Let's retreat.
Retreat!
Let's go!
Qin
What is the meaning of this?
That is from my King.
Please accept it.
Zhao is doing everything to resist Qin.
Sir.
Do you want me to be Qin's spy?
Handan is in danger.
Sir.
Don't you want to find a way out
for yourself?
Your Majesty, Queen Dowager.
Food reserves are lacking
on the front lines.
We must get more now.
Lord Chunping.
Our storage is empty.
Handan doesn't have any food left.
Buy from other states at a high price.
Without food reserves,
no matter how brilliant Lord Wu'an is
in military strategy,
the Qin army will still be able
to invade Jingxing.
When that happens,
Handan will be in danger.
Lord Wu'an has been stationed
in Jingxing for ten months.
He never attacked.
All 200 thousand troops
need to eat daily.
Even if everything is going smoothly
in Zhao
and our storage is full,
they'll finish everything.
It's too risky to attack rashly.
Only in finding proper timing
can Lord Wu'an defeat the Qin army.
We can't attack
if it's not the time yet.
If our army doesn't go to battle,
the Qin army won't retreat.
If this goes on,
Zhao may fall as well!
Stop arguing.
Buy food from other states.
The more, the better.
There's not much funds and goods left
in our imperial reserve.
Where will we get the money to buy food?
Take some from the palace.
Lord Chunping.
The imperial family
must also do their best
to raise some funds.
In that case,
you can handle the purchase of food,
Lord Chunping.
Queen Dowager.
I'll do my best
as long as we can make the Qin army
leave Zhao.
General Li Mu's troops
are a bottomless pit.
He keeps asking for food daily.
No matter how good I am,
I can't feed 200 thousand troops.
Who are you angry at, Prime Minister?
Prime Minister.
It's you.
Why...
Did anyone see you?
Don't worry.
No one noticed me.
Come with me.
Prime Minister, you're being
too careful.
I must take precautions.
Two days ago,
someone reported
that two Zhao's officials
accepted a bribe from Qin,
and His Majesty and Queen Dowager
k*lled them in the imperial court.
You're right.
It's better to be careful.
If you need anything,
let someone tell me in secret.
You can't come to my home
like today.
Why are you looking for me?
My king is ordering you
to convince King of Zhao to replace
your general,
and transfer Li Mu out of Jingxing.
What?
King of Qin is pushing me to a corner!
This concerns Qin's plan
in making Zhao fall.
You can't refuse.
You...
Dun Ruo.
You're asking me to die!
If I tell them to replace Li Mu,
then I'll be at odds
with the entire state of Zhao!
Can't King of Qin...
Can't King of Qin spare me?
I'm begging you.
My King already has a plan
to eliminate Li Mu.
You just need to do as he says.
Not only will you be able
to pull Li Mu down,
it won't hurt you one bit.
What is King of Qin's plan?
All these months,
I've been following my King's orders
in giving many gifts
to Zhao's officials.
Aside from Lord Chunping Zhao Yi
and a few royalty and
important officials like Prince Cong,
majority of the officials
received money and gifts from Qin.
What does this have to do with Li Mu?
If Zhao's Queen Dowager and King
hear about Zhao's officials
being in contact with Qin,
they'll surely investigate it.
What should Zhao's officials do then?
They can only join forces
to protect themselves.
Come out to defend the officials,
then place the blame on Li Mu.
Then Zhao's Queen Dowager
and King's trust towards Li Mu
will surely waver.
That's a good plan,
but how can I place the blame
on Li Mu?
Food reserves.
Half of the citizens in Handan
can't feed themselves already.
If someone pilfers the food reserves,
the entire state will surely scorn him.
Lord Chunping has already bought
from other states.
So much food will be transported.
Prime Minister.
Tamper with them.
If there are any oversights,
Li Mu
cannot evade responsibility for it.
Follow me.
Stop.
Commandant.
Are these food reserves going
to Jingxing?
Commandant, yes.
Let 20 carriages follow me.
Lord Chunping ordered me
to bring these food reserves
to the front lines in Jingxing
without any delays.
Lord Wu'an wrote this himself.
Prime Minister.
It's done.
Does anyone know about this?
Only the heaven and earth
and you and I know.
Well done.
These are for you.
Thank you, Prime Minister.
What?
are gone?
Lord Chunping.
Investigate right now.
We must find the 50 thousand dan
of missing food reserves!
Yes.
Wait.
This isn't that simple.
Queen Dowager.
The loss of food reserves surely
has something to do with Qin's spy.
Qin's spy?
Have you forgotten, Queen Dowager?
Last month, His Majesty
k*lled two officials
who were colluding with Qin.
Based on what I know,
aside from those two people
who were k*lled,
many others,
including officials,
are colluding with Qin.
Prime Minister.
Do you have any proof?
Queen Dowager.
Based on what I know,
envoy of Qin, Dun Ruo,
brought over ten carriages
of money and gifts
to buy off our officials.
I
am one of them too.
Queen Dowager.
While I wasn't home,
Dun Ruo
bought off my steward.
After I found out,
I beat that steward to death.
I
was negligent.
Please punish me.
How many officials did Dun Ruo buy off?
I heard
that Dun Ruo visited
all the scholars' residences
in Handan.
He must have bought them off
to collude with them
in order for Zhao to fall.
That's why this case
isn't that simple.
Investigate this well!
Queen Dowager.
I'm involved in this case.
It will be hard for people
to believe me.
I think
Lord Chunping
is more suitable to investigate
this case.
Lord Chunping.
Find the officials who were bribed.
Find the missing food reserves!
Yes.
Dun Ruo threatened me
and forced me to accept 500 taels
of gold.
Lord Chunping.
Prime Minister.
I don't have the intention
of betraying Zhao.
Envoy of Qin threw the money and gifts
to my yard.
I'm falsely accused, Prime Minister!
What a bunch of greedy people.
Lord Chunping.
These shameless people
should be k*lled immediately.
Lord Chunping, Prime Minister.
Why did it take you so long?
Did you capture him?
Dun Ruo isn't at the inn.
Handan Magistrate sent men to search
for him everywhere,
and they were able to capture him
at a residence in Handan.
Lord Chunping, Prime Minister.
Please go to interrogate him.
Let's go.
Lord Chunping.
My lord.
What's the matter?
Nothing.
King of Qin
is spending a lot of money.
The money and gifts
in these boxes
should be worth 10 thousand taels
of gold at least.
If these are given away as gifts,
won't Handan's officials
all be bought off by Qin?
Prime Minister.
Why would Dun Ruo store
the money and gifts
at this place?
No one knows
that he's storing them here.
This
is the perfect place.
Prime Minister.
This is Lord Wu'an's Residence.
His Majesty and Queen Dowager gave it
to him last year.
That's impossible!
Lord Wu'an is colluding with Qin?
I definitely won't believe that!
Report!
What did the report say?
Lord Wu'an's warrant
was used to take the 50 thousand dan
of food reserves.
Queen Dowager.
Lord Wu'an definitely won't collude
with Qin!
But a lot of officials
are saying that he's the mastermind
behind the food reserves theft.
Queen Dowager, this is Qin's evil plan!
Did envoy of Qin, Dun Ruo, confess?
He wouldn't say a word.
Order Lord Wu'an to surrender
his military power.
Queen Dowager, changing the general
in the middle of a battle
is a taboo in the military.
Queen Dowager, don't forget
the lesson from the Battle of Changping.
Zhao replaced Lord Xinping Lian Po
with Zhao Kuo.
were k*lled!
Queen Dowager.
We're faced with a great enemy.
We can't make rash decisions.
Queen Dowager.
I agree with Lord Chunping.
We must consider our battle
with Qin.
are gone!
Over half of the officials
were bribed by Qin!
If we don't investigate this clearly,
can we still protect our nation?
Queen Dowager, you're right
to be concerned about that.
Queen Dowager.
Lord Wu'an is Zhao's pillar.
I guarantee with my life
that Lord Wu'an would definitely
not collude with Qin!
This matter is surely fishy.
Queen Dowager.
It's trivial to falsely
accuse Lord Wu'an,
but Zhao's survival is at stake.
Queen Dowager, Your Majesty, I think
we should summon Lord Wu'an back.
-Lord Wu'an...
-When this matter...
When this matter is clarified,
we can order Lord Wu'an
to return to the Jingxing Battalion
and take back his military power.
Lord Chunping.
Zhao and Qin have been at w*r
for many months.
There are no battles lately.
While Lord Wu'an is here
for over ten days,
Prince Cong
can manage the military responsibilities
on his behalf.
There wouldn't be any problems.
If Lord Wu'an can't clear his name,
how can people be willing to trust him?
How will the troops be willing
to obey him?
Besides, if Lord Wu'an returns,
he can report the battle situation
to His Majesty and Queen Dowager
and come up with a plan
to deal with the enemy together.
Queen Dowager.
We can't do that.
Prime Minister.
Together with Zhao Cong and Yan Ju,
go to Jingxing at once
and summon Lord Wu'an to see us.
Yes.
Yes.
Jingxing
Prime Minister, why are you here?
Imperial edict.
Lord Wu'an, Sima Shang,
receive your orders.
Food reserves went missing.
Li Mu, Sima Shang,
return to Handan at once
to cooperate with the investigation.
Zhao Cong and Yan Ju will replace
your posts temporarily.
Changing the general in the middle
of a battle
is a taboo in the military.
Once morale becomes low,
it will be hard to protect Zhao.
This is the imperial edict.
Do you dare to disobey it?
Food reserves went missing?
What exactly is going on?
This matter is very suspicious.
Almost half of the officials
are involved.
Lord Chunping and Prime Minister
guaranteed you in front of His Majesty
and Queen Dowager.
Before we left, Lord Chunping
told me to tell you
to return to Handan at once
to clear your name.
It's just over ten days,
and you and General Sima
can return to Jingxing
to command the army.
Wang Jian is eyeing Zhao covetously.
Jingxing is in a dangerous situation.
Lord Wu'an can't leave!
If Lord Wu'an doesn't follow
imperial edicts,
how can the troops obey him?
You...
You...
I'll let you handle
the troops in Jingxing.
Wang Jian is brave and astute.
Remember.
Don't fall
for his trick.
Don't worry, General.
