Qin Dynasty Epic

Episode 78

Zhangtai Palace, Xianyang, Qin

Top General swept across
the Wuyue region.

Wang Ben and Li Xin conquered Liaodong.

Only the state of Qi survived by luck.

Your Majesty,
did you order me to come back

to get prepared for attacking Qi?

The main force of the Qi army
is stationed in Gaotang.

If they're wiped out,

we're sure to conquer Linzi.

Gaotang is one
of the five key positions of Qi.

Its walls stand solid and firm.

I don't want to take it by storm.

The lives of our brave soldiers

shouldn't be sacrificed for nothing.

King of Qin, Zheng

General of Qin, Meng Tian
We can follow the example

General of Qin, Meng Tian
of Top General defeating Chu.

We stand opposing the Qi army at first

and then defeat them at one stroke

when they get slack.

That's not the best policy.

Please enlighten me.

Qin's Minister of Justice, Li Si

Your Majesty,

General Meng Tian.

The King of Qi sent Prince Chong to Qin.

He has arrived in Xianyang.

That's the best policy.

Qin

Prince of Qi, Tian Chong

Capture Linzi and come back quickly.

Qi will be conquered

within three months.

It's futile for Qi people

to fight against us.

Xianyang

The territory of Qi is not

as vast as that of Chu,

but our soldiers are as valiant

as those of Zhao and Chu.

My King has been
in control of the East Sea.

He is the richest man in the country

and has 500,000 troops.

He's just as powerful
as the King of Qin.

Scholars of the six states
have all gathered in Linzi.

If my King A*DS them financially,

there will soon be battles on land

of Han, Zhao, Wei, Yan and Chu

which were annexed by Qin.

The King of Qin will be
busy suppressing them.

Can he still attack Qi?

At this moment,

the King of Qi
is still looking out for Qin.

I'm really grateful.

The King of Qin said

he was willing to be the West Emperor

and respect my King
as the East Emperor.

As long as he stops

forcing my King,

my King will still be
friendly with Qin.

Why did you laugh?

May I ask

if you're related
to the Duke of Zhou by blood?

I'm the Prince of Qi.

Why would I be related
to the Duke of Zhou?

Why did you talk in your sleep

in this bright daylight, then?

You...

Your Majesty,

our officials are valorous

and soldiers are valiant.

Prime Minister of Qi, Hou Sheng
King of Qi, Jian

You could put your mind at ease.

Although the Qin army
has conquered capital of Chu,

it's still impossible

to capture Linzi.

Prime Minister,

when the King of Qin attacked Han,

you said the King of Han was fatuous.

I thought it made sense

and ignored his plea for help.

Han was conquered by Qin.

When Qin attacked Zhao,

people in the six states all said

Li Mu was an eminent general
in the country

and he could resist Qin.

I believed it,

but Handan was taken by Qin.

When the Qin and Yan armies
fought by the Yi River,

people all said the Crown Prince of Yan

should be k*lled for sending someone
to assassinate the King of Qin

and I just looked on.

When the Qin army attacked Daliang,

you said

Chu was still there
and I didn't have to care.

When the King of Qin attacked Chu,

I just made up my mind

to help Chu,

Ying fell to the King of Qin.

I don't understand.

Han, Wei, Zhao, Chu and Yan

had all lasted for several hundred years

and were well-established.

They once dominated their states

but were conquered
by Qin one after another.

I was so stupid

and enticed by the King of Qin.

Please punish me.

Prime Minister,

stand up.

Prime Minister,

I just want to know

reasons why the five states fell.

Your Majesty,

it's only because of
schemes of the King of Qin.

Just with some schemes,

he conquered five states in a few years?

Is it because

the country is destined
to be unified by Qin?

No.

You mustn't be demoralized.

If Qi is conquered,

where should millions

of Qi people go?

I had nightmares and I couldn't sleep.

When will this stop?

The King of Qin is brutal.

He k*lled all scholars

who were paid over 600 dan in tax

in Handan.

Can you bear to watch this

happening to Qi people?

Alright.

I'll just stay up all night

and hang on until daybreak.

Your Majesty.

Is the Minister of Justice here?

He's not here, sir.

He's avoiding me deliberately, isn't he?

You...

Congratulations on
your conquest of Liaodong.

Wang Ben set out from Jicheng

with 30,000 elite troops

and little equipment.

They crossed the Liao River

within seven days

and turned up in Yan's battalion.

The Yan army was weak

and defeated at once.

The King of Yan could only surrender.

Seeing elite soldiers
of Qin going to w*r,

Tian Chong could only bemoan it.

Did he agree to surrender?

Tian Chong knows
the situation is irretrievable

but I'm afraid
it's too shameful for him.

Why is it you?
Where is the Minister of Justice?

Sir, the Minister of Justice has gone

to the palace to see His Majesty.

Quickly, catch up with him.

Zhangtai

Please tell Madam Li Qiu

Prince Chong of Qi wants to see her.

Yes.

After capturing Liaodong,

General Wang Ben
led his troops to Dai.

There's not much time for Prince Jia

and remaining resistance of Zhao now.

You could order Wang Ben

to attack Linzi

without your order

after taking Dai.

Madam.

Your Majesty,

Madam Li Qiu of Qin

Madam Li Qiu of Qin
Prince Chong wanted to see me.

He should want me to persuade you

to make peace with the King of Qi.

Your Majesty,

Qi is my motherland

and the King of Qi is my brother.

Please consider it.

Tell Tian Chong

I'll see him

if Qi surrenders.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

Prince Chong,

this is the last chance

to keep Qi going.

Your Majesty.

Have you made up your mind?

Qi requests a fief.

Please allow it to continue to exist.

Stand up.

Tell the King of Qi

disregarding people's lives isn't

what a king should do.

To let the city be destroyed
and die aren't

what a brave man should do.

Giving up one's achievements
and good reputation

won't be praised by the people.

He who recognizes
the situation is a wise man.

He who changes to suit it is a hero.

His surrender to Qin is

the only way to unify the country

and bring peace back

to the people.

Understood.

If the King of Qi submits to Qin,

I promise

he'll be as rich as Lord Taozhu

and Qi will last for generations.

If he resists stubbornly,

elite soldiers of Qin will be able

to capture Gaotang right away

and smash Linzi into pieces.

He must be decisive.

Your Majesty,

I'm willing to go to Qi

and help Prince Chong
persuade my brother

to surrender to Qin.

No.

Madam,

Linzi may be dangerous.

Your Majesty,

I'm willing to go with Prince Chong.

The King of Qi is my brother.

I'm more suitable
than the Minister of Justice.

If Madam Li Qiu goes to Linzi,

she'll be more persuasive
than the Minister of Justice.

Only when the w*r is stopped

can the people have peace.

Let me go, Your Majesty.

Dear,

for me,

for Qin

and for the country,

you must be alright.

The Prime Minister of Qi, Sheng,

and other officials are here
to welcome Madam Li Qiu of Qin.

I need to see my brother
about something important.

Please tell him.

His Majesty is waiting in the palace.

Go in, please.

Brother.

Li Qiu.

How long have you left Linzi?

More than ten years.

Time went by so quickly.

I'm old.

In my eyes,

you're still imposing.

Qi and Qin are negotiating for peace.

The King of Qin should have
sent an important official.

Why is it you?

There were once more than 100 states

and now

only Qi and Qin are left.

Do you really think

the King of Qin will treat Qi

as an equal?

Do you think Qi is better

than the old Chu?

If the King of Qin
sends troops to conquer Qi,

will Qi be a match for them?

If you were the King of Qin,

would you let Qi be there?

I wouldn't.

There have been
too many wars and massacres.

People all long
for peace and unification.

I worried you and Qi people would suffer

from the w*r

and pleaded with the King of Qin

many times for permission

to come to see you.


by Meng Tian have arrived

in Gaotang.

Even if he can't capture Gaotang,

the King of Qin will send troops twice,

three times and even four or five times

as many as them to attack Qi.

Will Qi be able to hold on?

If you give up the throne,

the King of Qin promised

he'd give you 250,000 square li of land

as a fief.

Then the country will be unified

and there will be no w*r.

Do you want me to surrender to Qin?

This is the only way

for Qi to avoid the disaster of w*r.

When Prince Chong
just arrived in Xianyang,

he couldn't accept
a peace negotiation either.

But after he saw the strength of Qin,

he has changed his mind.

You could ask him

whether Qi could survive

if you didn't surrender.

Your Majesty,

Liaodong is thousands of li away

but the King of Yan still couldn't avoid

being captured by the Qin army.

Linzi is just a few hundred li

from Qin.

Will you be able to escape?

The King of Qin
won't change his decision

to unify the country.

Qi can not avoid being conquered.

Instead of being captured
by the King of Qin,

why don't you submit

to him?

-What?
-Submit to the King of Qin?

What?

What's going on?

Prince Chong,

His Majesty sent you to Qin

to find out more about them.

Now you changed sides.

Did Qin people

give you anything?

Qi was once a strong state

and able to ally
with other states for protection.

But you urged an alliance with Qin

and the five states were conquered

by Qin one after another.

Now Qi is alone and helpless.

Qi people can only wait for death.

You didn't say
we should resist Qin then.

Now,

aren't you ashamed of questioning me?

I have been regretful about it.

But the top priority now is

to discuss

how to resist Qin.

It's too late.

If our army resists Qin,

it'll be wiped out in battle,

the people will suffer

and we'll be captured unavoidably.

He who pays an obsessive attention
to detail can not do prestigious things.

He who bears no humiliation
can not build a good reputation.

You should consider

millions of Qi people.

Your Majesty, you mustn't believe

what Tian Chong said.

Your Majesty,

the King of Qin sent Madam Li Qiu to Qi.

He wanted to show you he's sincere.

Madam Li Qiu has left Qi
and lived in Qin

for over ten years.

She has been a Qin woman.

Madam Li Qiu of Qin
is going in the hall.

Your Majesty.

I'm a member of the Tian family of Qi

and your closest relative.

Why would I try to deceive you?

The King of Qin won't break his promise.

When Qi submits to Qin,

he'll give you

a fief at once

for the Tian family's state to continue.

Your Majesty,

when the Qin army
comes under your city wall,

Qi will only meet

its doom like the other states.

What? What do we do, Your Majesty?

Doom.

Yes.

What do we do?

-That can't happen.
-That can't happen.

Everyone,

Qin humiliated His Majesty

and the state of Qi.

Can we agree

to surrender?

No.

We can't be

prisoners.

That mustn't happen.

The state of Qi

must be saved.

Qi will be given a fief
of 250,000 square li.

We'll only freeze and starve to death.

Your Majesty, Qi has an area
of more than four million square li

and 120 cities.

If we change the land of Qi

for 250,000 square li of fief,

it'll be ridiculous.

The Prime Minister is right.

Yes.

Ridiculous.

The Prime Minister is right.

He's right.

-He's right.
-Yes.

Hou Sheng is harming the state.

I need to see my brother.

I need to see my brother!

I need to see my brother!

I need to see my brother.

I need to see my brother!

Qi

Your Majesty,

we should smash Linzi into pieces.

Madam Li Qiu suffered for me.

I'm willing to go to Linzi

and save her.

Don't bother.

I have ordered Meng Tian's troops
to attack them

Lord Weiyang of Qin, Ying Xi
so that the main force of Qi

will go to Gaotang.

I've also ordered
Wang Ben's troops to go south

and attack Linzi.

Qi people haven't fought for decades.

They've been like rotten wood

and are no match for our elite soldiers.

Come here!

-Run!
-Quickly!

Report to His Majesty quickly.

Yes.

Prime Minister,

how should I save Gaotang?

Your Majesty,

I have sent 200,000 troops

garrisoned in Linzi to Gaotang.



We will defeat Meng Tian

and frustrate Qin's

attempt to conquer Qi.

Can they really defeat the Qin army?

The Qin army has been exhausted.

It's time to attack it.

When we defeat Meng Tian,

the King of Qin won't dare

to attack Qi again
in the next few years.

You could seize this opportunity

to develop agriculture, make weapons

and govern the country
with the King of Qin.

Zhangtai

General Meng Tian has attacked Gaotang

without capturing it for months

as you've ordered.

Hou Sheng sent



for a final battle with our army.

Where are Wang Ben's troops now?

Grand Commandant of Qin, Liao

Grand Commandant of Qin, Liao
General Wang Ben

Grand Commandant of Qin, Liao
has led 50,000 elite soldiers

and gone south
from Yan's land for ten days.

I guess he has crossed the Yellow River

and is just two

or three days' walk from Linzi.

The King of Qi is indecisive.

Qi will be conquered

even if it's not by me.

Qi

How many troops are there

inside the city?

Less than 10,000.

The Qin army is several times
as many as ours.

Why don't they attack us now?

Wang

They're preparing for the attack.

Wang Ben is a ruthless general.

Once he opens his mouth
to bite something,

he can definitely swallow it.

Your Majesty.

Your Majesty.

Linzi has been an empty city.

How can it resist Wang Ben's troops?

Your Majesty,

now only if you submit
to the King of Qin

can lives in whole city be saved.

But you took Li Qiu c*ptive.

I don't know
what the King of Qin thinks of it.

Madam Li Qiu is at my house

and she's not hurt.

As long as she speaks
to the King of Qin,

he will let you off.

Your Majesty.

Nothing.

I was just thinking about what you said.

I've reigned for 43 years.

For 43 years,
I met officials in this hall.

For 43 years, I sat on this throne.

Now it'll be given

to Qin soon.

The Qin army is still outside the city.

Now the throne is

still yours.

Qi avoided disputes among the six states

and with difficulty,

we had several decades of peace.

Eventually we're
still facing this disaster.

Have I done anything wrong?

You're a kind King.

I'm willing to serve you forever.

Servants.

Let's drink this cup of wine together.

Thanks for assisting me.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

Prime Minister,

you've rendered me a good service.

I'm willing to serve you until I die.

Why didn't you drink it?

The wine was specially prepared for you.

I can't drink it.

It's

poisonous.

It's poisonous.

Prime Minister, Prime Minister,

the King of Qin ordered me to k*ll you.

I had to do it.

If it hadn't been for you,

Li Qiu wouldn't have been confined

and Wang Ben's troops

wouldn't have come under my city wall.

Qi is just falling like this.

I didn't...
I didn't realize this earlier.

Qin

I surrendered

with more than
four million square li land of Qi,



a population of 5 million,

General of Qin, Wang Ben

the King's Seal, maps
and household registers of Qi.

Please accept them

and protect Qi people!

I'll send soldiers

to escort you back to Xianyang.

Madam.

You can't do this.

Take care, brother.

Thank you, the King of Qin.

Thank you, Madam Li Qiu.

Generals and soldiers,

now only Qin is left

in the country.

It's the country of Qin.

Long live the great Qin.
Long live His Majesty.

In 221 BC,

from Han to Qi,

King Zheng of Qin took ten years

to conquer the six states

and complete the first unification

in Chinese history.

You're the Crown Prince of Qin

and the future King of Qin.

You're destined to do something

that has never been done for Qin,

which is to unify the country.

Hardships you suffered today

are your wealth of a lifetime.

Humiliations you suffered today

are the origins of your will.

You're the Crown Prince of Qin

and the future King of Qin.

Only when you always
consider the people

will you be the King of the world.

All I want to do is just

to try my best to assist a good king.

If I can help Qin unify the country,

I'll die without regrets.

I came a long way to Qin

and all I thought of doing is just

assisting a good king

to unify the country
as soon as possible.

Status, money and power

will be gone quickly.

What I want are achievements
that will benefit people forever.

In order to unify the country,

I won't wait for decades.

Only then

will Qin possibly realize
the late Kings' dream

of unifying the country.

Set out to fight!
