Yes, sir.
General.
This injury is too severe.
I'm afraid we won't be able to attack today.
Could it be that the city of Handan
was hit by iron?
Yes, sir.
In the 51st year of Qin Zhaoxiang's reign,
the army of Xizhou took the name of the emperor
and joined forces to attack Qin.
The emperor of Zhou ordered the other states
to punish our Qin
with 500,000 troops
to encircle Yi Que
so that the 200,000 troops
could not go to war.
Your Majesty,
there is no need to discuss this matter.
I ask for an order.
Lead 200,000 troops to attack Yi Que
and join forces with Ying Jiu
to defeat the five-nation alliance.
200,000 troops will fight against 500,000 troops.
What do you think we should do?
I think there are two ways.
One is to send reinforcements
to face the five-nation alliance head-on.
The other is to lead the army
to retreat to Hangu Pass
and stop the 500,000 troops
Which method do you choose?
There are pros and cons.
It's hard to make a choice.
What do you think?
Everyone,
let's hear the discussion.
How to deal with the five-nation alliance
depends on Your Majesty's decision.
Please make a decision, Your Majesty.
Yi Que is west of Hangu Pass.
Hangu Pass is west of Yi Que.
Xianyang.
It's impossible to reach Yi Que
from Xianyang with reinforcements.
It's hard to say
if General Ying Jiu
can reach there with reinforcements.
Hangu Pass is not far away.
It seems that we should let the Qin army
retreat to Hangu Pass.
Where is Yi Que?
He is west of Luoyi.
It's less than 100 miles away.
It can be said that the Western Zhou army
hasn't come out of Jiamei yet.
If you want me to say,
retreat to Hangu Pass
and send reinforcements
to consume military forces and food.
Now, Ying Jiu has 200,000 soldiers
and is waiting for the decision of Xianyang in Yi Que.
Should he fight in Yi Que
or retreat to Hangu Pass?
Although Xiaohan Pass is civilized,
once it is lost,
the fatherland of Qin will be in danger.
Do you have another way to retreat?
Send a letter to Ying Jiu.
Tell him to bypass the allied forces
and go straight to Luoyi.
It's not easy to attack there.
Force them to turn around and go back to Luoyi.
At that time,
whether to fight,
or wait for reinforcements,
it's all under the control of the Qin army.
Your Majesty is wise.
Your Majesty.
Greetings, father and mother.
Zichu is here.
Father, you don't look well.
Is it related to the court meeting today?
Yes.
Is there no countermeasure in Yi Que?
There is a countermeasure.
His Majesty ordered Ying Jiu to bypass the allied forces
and go straight to Luoyi to capture Wangji.
It's a clever plan.
The army of Xizhou has to go back to Luoyi.
The attack on Qin will be self-destructed.
You know it well.
Today, Mr. Buwei and Zichu
planned this.
It's a clever plan.
But His Majesty ordered us
to fight together with Ying Jiu.
His Majesty sent my father as a supervisor
to lead the army together with Ying Jiu.
But my father has been unwell recently.
How can he bear the hardship of the army?
What's your plan?
You should lead the army to build up the army.
I...
But I've never been in a war.
So it's more interesting.
You are the first son of Zhao.
If you can lead the army to build up the army
and gain military merits again,
it's interesting.
It's interesting.
God bless you.
Zhou Qianzi is an old man.
He is a few years older than me.
He has been serving me for a few years.
How can he be so muddle-headed
and dare to oppose Qin?
Go.
Don't be too polite to him.
Aye.
