▶ En : No--I've been curious myself.	(0:00:29.09)
▶ En : I asked Xin, but he wouldn't tell me.	(0:00:32.26)
▶ En : He said they had to keep it under wraps till today.	(0:00:34.67)
▶ Heikun Shou : Our entire army will be attacking western Zhao!	(0:00:53.45)
▶ En : Western Zhao--I figured as much.	(0:01:00.08)
▶ Heikun Shou : This battle will lead into an all-out, head-on war with our longtime foe, Zhao.	(0:01:05.15)
▶ Heikun Shou : The enemy is just as fierce.	(0:01:11.02)
▶ Heikun Shou : They're likely to strike back with desperation.	(0:01:12.48)
▶ Heikun Shou : But do not back down.	(0:01:15.43)
▶ Heikun Shou : Be victorious--and raise the Qin flag over Zhao land!	(0:01:17.34)
▶ Heikun Shou : Got that?	(0:01:21.50)
▶ Heikun Shou : Now to announce who will be in command!	(0:01:25.43)
▶ Bi Hei : Who could it be...?	(0:01:32.13)
▶ Heikun Shou : Take the stage!	(0:01:34.28)
▶ Bi Hei : G-General Huan Yi...	(0:01:38.66)
▶ Heikun Shou : And another general in command:	(0:02:02.05)
▶ Bi Hei : Another one?	(0:02:07.20)
▶ Heikun Shou : Take the stage!	(0:02:09.31)
▶ Heikun Shou : General Yang Duanhe!	(0:02:12.36)
▶ Heki : Wha--buh--urk!	(0:02:14.80)
▶ Bi Hei : That's the mountain folk's, uh... queen!	(0:02:21.82)
▶ Shin : Ba Jio, Tajifu!	(0:02:35.71)
▶ Shin : I'm real glad we can fight together again.	(0:02:40.45)
▶ Shin : Yeah.	(0:02:47.58)
▶ Shin : Tajifu! You can speak flatlander!	(0:02:53.69)
▶ Shin : Well, it ain't perfect, but it's pretty great!	(0:02:59.86)
▶ Heikun Shou : Huan Yi and Yang Duanhe are generals of their own armies,	(0:03:11.24)
▶ Heikun Shou : not commanding generals of the full forces.	(0:03:15.52)
▶ Heikun Shou : That's someone else entirely.	(0:03:18.29)
▶ Heikun Shou : This will be a large-scale battle calling for three armies.	(0:03:20.91)
▶ En : So then... the third general...	(0:03:25.14)
▶ Bi Hei : That's the commanding general?	(0:03:29.64)
▶ Shin : You got it.	(0:03:31.80)
▶ Heikun Shou : Take the stage!	(0:03:33.92)
▶ Heikun Shou : The commanding general is General Wang Jian!	(0:03:35.97)
▶ Heki : G-General Wang Jian--	(0:03:41.49)
▶ Heki : commanding general?!	(0:03:43.74)
▶ Heki : X-Xin... Does this mean...	(0:03:48.52)
▶ Shin : Uh-huh. We're gonna have an allied army	(0:03:52.56)
▶ Shin : led by Wang Jian, Huan Yi, and Yang Duanhe	(0:03:56.55)
▶ Shin : for this war against Zhao.	(0:04:00.30)
▶ Heki : Diao! Long time, no see!	(0:06:02.30)
▶ Ten Karyou : Bi!	(0:06:04.41)
▶ Heki : You're looking well.	(0:06:05.55)
▶ Ten Karyou : You, too. They recalled you from down south, eh?	(0:06:07.25)
▶ Heki : Yeah. This army's a massive one, all right.	(0:06:11.42)
▶ Ten Karyou : About 200 thousand strong, I heard.	(0:06:15.43)
▶ Heki : I didn't expect it to be an allied army, either.	(0:06:17.83)
▶ Ten Karyou : I understand there were a few during the age of the Six Great Generals,	(0:06:21.48)
▶ Ten Karyou : but this is the first one lately.	(0:06:24.86)
▶ Heki : And that's not all.	(0:06:27.61)
▶ Heki : There's a strange sense of urgency among the higher-ups, Lord Changwen included.	(0:06:30.32)
▶ Heki : This western Zhao campaign is going to be bigger than we think, Diao.	(0:06:35.68)
▶ Ten Karyou : I see. So they really didn't tell anyone but us four and the three generals	(0:06:44.29)
▶ Ten Karyou : about the Yè offensive, to protect against leaks.	(0:06:49.74)
▶ Heki : What's your take, Diao?	(0:07:02.91)
▶ Heki : Do you think we'll do all right under Wang Jian as commanding general?	(0:07:04.86)
▶ Heki : Honestly, I don't entirely trust him.	(0:07:10.56)
▶ Heki : There's what he did in Shanyang,	(0:07:15.36)
▶ Heki : and there's also something about his eyes that makes even allies uneasy.	(0:07:17.96)
▶ Ten Karyou : Even Lord Changping--	(0:07:23.28)
▶ Ten Karyou : even the army high commander has reservations about Wang Jian's humanity.	(0:07:25.20)
▶ Heki : What?! Then why make him commanding general?	(0:07:30.19)
▶ Ten Karyou : Wang Jian has a hidden strength that more than makes up for that unease.	(0:07:33.77)
▶ Ten Karyou : He was recognized by General Hu Shang?!	(0:07:39.31)
▶ Shin : ＂General Hu Shang＂?	(0:07:42.05)
▶ Ten Karyou : The only tactician to become one of the Six Greats.	(0:07:44.68)
▶ Ten Karyou : The Six Great Generals had full freedom on the battlefield,	(0:07:47.68)
▶ Ten Karyou : but it was Hu Shang who actually came up with their strategies--	(0:07:52.63)
▶ Ten Karyou : and essentially controlled the other five, some say.	(0:07:56.01)
▶ Shin : Wha--wow...	(0:07:59.33)
▶ Heikun Shou : General Hu Shang was my tactics teacher.	(0:08:01.92)
▶ Heikun Shou : He once told me this:	(0:08:06.52)
▶ Heki : If his skills were already being recognized that long ago,	(0:08:18.68)
▶ Heki : then today he must be...	(0:08:22.65)
▶ Heikun Shou : Depending on how the battle goes,	(0:08:25.92)
▶ Heikun Shou : you may have to discard the Yè strategy you've been given.	(0:08:28.56)
▶ Changwenjun : Discard something we worked so hard on?!	(0:08:32.75)
▶ Kai Oku : It's not that he lacks confidence in the plan.	(0:08:36.67)
▶ Kai Oku : He's simply ordering us to put flexibility first.	(0:08:39.44)
▶ Kai Oku : That's just how unpredictable this Yè campaign could be.	(0:08:43.15)
▶ Heikun Shou : I'll leave the decision-making to you.	(0:08:48.00)
▶ Heikun Shou : We're counting on you, General Wang Jian.	(0:08:53.53)
▶ Bi Hei : We're so popular!	(0:09:06.21)
▶ Bi Hei : Is that Xin? What's he doing over there?	(0:09:08.88)
▶ Shin : Hey, sorry to call you out here like this,	(0:09:12.67)
▶ Shin : Zheng.	(0:09:16.36)
▶ Ying Zheng : I'll say.	(0:09:18.69)
▶ Shin : The hell are you--get up! You're blocking the procession!	(0:09:23.62)
▶ Shin : Forget the formalities and keep moving!	(0:09:27.04)
▶ Ying Zheng : Strange--you're more relaxed than I'd expected.	(0:09:33.80)
▶ Shin : Well, I figured we'd be seein' our share of big do-or-die wars sooner or later.	(0:09:37.80)
▶ Shin : Still, it's always pretty hectic once we get started!	(0:09:48.12)
▶ Shin : But listen, Zheng... did you bring it?	(0:09:54.42)
▶ Ying Zheng : I did.	(0:09:57.32)
▶ Ying Zheng : Don't worry: here it comes.	(0:09:58.20)
▶ Bi Hei : Uh... Xin?	(0:10:16.29)
▶ Bi Hei : I-Is that--is it really--	(0:10:18.77)
▶ Shin : Yeah.	(0:10:28.25)
▶ Bi Hei : Xin!	(0:10:36.34)
▶ Shin : Yeah:	(0:10:37.52)
▶ Shin : General Wang Yi's poleaxe.	(0:10:40.37)
▶ Shin : You guys...	(0:10:51.80)
▶ Bi Hei : At long last, Xin taken up the general's poleaxe...!	(0:10:53.52)
▶ Ying Zheng : What's it like, Xin--holding Wang Yi's poleaxe in your hands?	(0:11:03.03)
▶ Shin : Well...	(0:11:07.74)
▶ Shin : Honestly, I was gettin' so much thrown at me back then	(0:11:09.69)
▶ Shin : that I didn't really get this poleaxe.	(0:11:14.55)
▶ Shin : But now... holdin' it again...	(0:11:18.27)
▶ Shin : It really is insanely heavy--and crazy hot.	(0:11:22.66)
▶ Shin : Yeah. I get it now, General.	(0:11:32.97)
▶ Shin : If I dive in too quickly, I'll be the one gettin' swung around.	(0:11:40.12)
▶ Shin : I'll have to get used to it as I go.	(0:11:43.55)
▶ Shin : All right. Gotta get goin', Zheng.	(0:11:45.82)
▶ Ying Zheng : Xin.	(0:11:48.89)
▶ Ying Zheng : I await word of your victories, as always.	(0:11:51.27)
▶ Shin : You bet!	(0:11:54.72)
▶ Shin : This beauty here'll be sendin' Li Mu's head rollin', Zheng!	(0:11:55.65)
▶ Shin : All right! Fei Xin Force, move out!	(0:12:00.16)
▶ Riboku : Qin's army high commander, Lord Changping	(0:12:49.76)
▶ Riboku : must have realized a drawn-out war on Zhao's west would be their undoing	(0:12:52.60)
▶ Riboku : and is betting it all on this first battle.	(0:12:56.41)
▶ Riboku : Clever man.	(0:12:58.85)
▶ Kaine : One massive showdown!	(0:13:12.75)
▶ Riboku : Kaine, send an envoy to Handan requesting General Hu Zhe's deployment.	(0:13:14.83)
▶ Kaine : General Hu Zhe?! The Guardian of the Capital, here?	(0:13:19.50)
▶ Riboku : The enemy has begun using all the might they can muster.	(0:13:23.37)
▶ Riboku : Yes. Kaine, send another envoy summoning Ji Hui here on the double.	(0:13:31.37)
▶ Kaine : Y-Yes, sir!	(0:13:36.31)
▶ Riboku : Fu Di, bring in 10 thousand troops from Guo.	(0:13:38.23)
▶ Riboku : Shun Shuishu.	(0:13:55.10)
▶ Riboku : Keep a close eye on the movement and volume of their provisions.	(0:13:57.28)
▶ Riboku : That's how we'll know the enemy's intentions.	(0:14:01.01)
▶ En : Xin? Xin!	(0:14:10.78)
▶ Shin : Keep it down, Yuan! I'm wallowing in the poleaxe of a great general, here!	(0:14:14.30)
▶ En : I'm looking for He Liao Diao. Do you know where she is?	(0:14:19.20)
▶ Shin : Diao's in the back, man.	(0:14:22.25)
▶ En : The back?	(0:14:25.03)
▶ Ten Karyou : We're in your army now, Yang Duanhe,	(0:14:26.59)
▶ Ten Karyou : but it's when the Fei Xin Force has a degree of freedom that we truly shine.	(0:14:29.52)
▶ Ten Karyou : So if you'll be using any precision tactics,	(0:14:34.16)
▶ Ten Karyou : I'd like us not to be central to them.	(0:14:38.01)
▶ Ten Karyou : Oh, you have?	(0:14:45.32)
▶ Ten Karyou : Oh--four of us. Bi was there, too.	(0:14:59.29)
▶ Ten Karyou : Back then, Xin and Zheng--and I--never dreamed it would turn out like this.	(0:15:05.92)
▶ Ten Karyou : Huh. Then I guess this is--	(0:15:23.21)
▶ Ten Karyou : What's the tail-end of Huan Yi's army doing here?!	(0:15:28.58)
▶ Ten Karyou : They move so slowly--and this is the one time speed really is key!	(0:15:32.31)
▶ Ten Karyou : Uh-huh. Thanks, Yang Duanhe.	(0:16:52.95)
▶ En : Is there some kind of trouble up ahead?	(0:18:41.62)
▶ Shin : Beats me.	(0:18:44.46)
▶ Rai Do : This rain is something else.	(0:18:53.23)
▶ Rai Do : Won't be stopping anytime soon.	(0:18:55.44)
▶ Kan Ki : Marching in the rain really tires you out.	(0:18:57.76)
▶ Kan Ki : Wang Jian's telling us to conserve our energy.	(0:19:01.72)
▶ Kan Ki : Which I assume also means that when it's time to run, he'll run us hard.	(0:19:04.86)
▶ Ten Karyou : So that's what's going on.	(0:19:12.86)
▶ Ten Karyou : Regulating the army's stamina:	(0:19:16.16)
▶ Ten Karyou : General Wang Jian's run-up to the main event	(0:19:18.94)
▶ Ten Karyou : has already begun.	(0:19:21.89)
▶ Kaine : What?!	(0:22:35.27)
▶ Kaine : Li Mu, sir...	(0:22:43.99)
▶ Riboku : Why now, of all times?	(0:22:46.05)
▶ Riboku : So he's making his moves out east...	(0:22:48.72)
