Saving General Yang
Yang Yanzhao
You broke Family Law and
ignored your father's orders.
You entered the sparring
match without permission,
& you failed in your duty
as an older brother,
allowing Yang Yansi's
reckless behavior.
Yang Yansi. You flouted
military regulations.
You ignored your father's orders
and fought in the sparring match.
You flaunted your prowess with complete
disregard for any consequences
Both your actions have
harmed the Yang family name.
Thirty strikes each!
Attention!
Rong,
can you see those clouds? They
look like a flock of sheep.
Yes! That big cloud looks
like a mommy sheep,
and those are all her little
lambs following behind.
I want a flock of sheep one day.
What? You want to rear sheep?
I want them playing
all around me,
one in my arms two on my back,
and another four on the
ground besides me.
I'll need your help though.
You want me to help
you rear sheep?
They'll need a sheep
mommy, you know!
Listen to me, world!
Princes Chai of the Song imperial family
agrees to be a sheep mommy of the Yang
Family!
I want to be a Yang mommy!
Father, the emperor has
announced a sparring match
to win the hand
of Princess Chai.
I'm certain I can win.
Yanzhao, you are
forbidden to take part,
and you must not see
Princess Chai again
But why?
Lord Pan's son, the Emperor's
brother-in-law Pan Bao, is interested
in her.
It was Lord Pan who suggested
the match to the Emperor.
The Pan family are
set on winning.
The Pan family have long
been at odds with the Yangs
If you fight Pan Bao, relations between
our families will deteriorate.
But Rong and I love
each other, Father!
The Khitan are threatening
Song territory.
The Yang and Pan families need to
stand together against this foe.
This is no time to be
focusing on romance!
Father!
Enough!
This is an order. You may leave.
Die!
Pathetic. Get off
the sparring stage!
Pan Bao,
do you really think you can win
love with such dirty tricks?
I'll teach you a lesson
on my brother's behalf!
Sixth Brother!
Mother.
Paifeng.
My Lady?
Take these to the General.
Yes, my Lady.
Your Majesty.
The murder of my brother by Yang
Ye's son is a heinous crime.
whole family as punishment!
Only then can my brother's
soul rest in peace!
Pan Bao fell to his death.
He was careless.
How can you blame us?
Silence.
Your Majesty. Pan Bao
& I grew up together.
We were inseparable.
He was my most beloved brother.
He was so young, so
full of potential.
But now he's gone, murdered
in cold blood by Yang Yansi.
Your Majesty, I beg you
to right this wrong!
I beg you for justice!
Your Majesty. Pan Bao's
death was an accident.
Please judge carefully, Majesty.
The princess wasn't even at the scene, and
yet she seems so sure it was an accident.
Empty words. Are you sure you're
not biased towards the Yangs?
It was a sparring match. Each man's
life lay in the hands of fate.
What happens shows it wasn't Pan
Bao's fate to be my husband.
Report!
Your Majesty. Our signal towards
to the north are ablaze.
The Khitan are attacking.
The Khitan!
How dare they attack us again!
Get me down.
Your Majesty,
from the look of these signals,
this is a full-scale invasion.
The Khitan are a formidable foe.
Who's leading their
army this time?
Your Majesty, our reports
say it is Yelu Yuan.
there was a General Yelu.
Yang Ye, didn't he die
under your sword?
So who is this Yelu Yuan?
Your Majesty, he is the
son of General Yelu.
He's an accomplished warrior
and considered a
hero by his people.
Genera Yang, you go to war!
Take 60,000 of our best men.
Stop the Khitan!
Your Majesty, surely the great Song Empire
has other generals to lead men into war?
Your Majesty,
I beg the honor of being
the one to lead your army.
It would answer the lifelong wish of my
son, who wanted only to serve his country.
Very well.
Lord Pan. I appoint you supreme
commander of our
army against Khitan.
Yes, your Majesty.
Yang Ye. You will lead the
troops at the front line
and assist Lord Pan in
defeating this army.
Yes, your Majesty.
That's the wrong armor. I'm front line
general this time, not supreme commander.
Let me change it.
You mustn't be too
worried, my dear wife.
I'm not worried about
your abilities,
only the complexity
of the situation.
The enemy you face has a
personal feud against you.
And your so-called ally
is a scheming rival.
You mustn't worry. I've fought the Khitan
for years and never lost a battle.
As for Lord Pan, we are
fighting for the same cause.
I will exert every effort
to repel the Khitan.
Together, we will defend
the great Song Empire.
What if this is too
much for Father?
Don't worry, Fifth Brother.
Father has never been
defeated by the Khitan.
This time will be no different.
Father should let me go.
I can lead the front line!
This is war, not a
sparring match.
Have you seen real blood spill?
Have you heard the
splintering of bones?
Do you know what
it's like to see men
dying all around you?
You know nothing about war!
Lord Pan knows nothing about
commanding an army.
He will put Father in danger.
Father will be setting out soon.
You've done all your work,
so why are you all still here?
I don't want to hear what
I just heard ever again.
Yes, Eldest Brother.
Stand up.
Does it still hurt?
Don't worry about us, Father.
Fifth Brother's
medicines work fast!
Still a good fit after
all these years!
General Yang is still a great
warrior, despite his age.
More Khitan!
It's an ambush.
Sound the retreat!
What of General Yang?
We must retreat and
regroup our forces.
Retreat!
Lord Pan is retreating!
Sanfeng, go. Let the old
man taste suffering.
My Lady, were you
having another dream?
Paifeng. Come with me
to see Master Guigu.
General, watch out!
Save General Yang!
General, get on!
The Khitan are retreating!
To Wolf Mountain.
To Wolf Mountain!
I really don't
understand, General.
You could crush them. Why
are you leaving survivors?
We need someone to
report back, don't we?
Come no further, Madam.
Master, I beg leave
to ask one question.
The Yang family protects its own as it
defends the empire. This is natural.
But all living things are equal
in the eyes of the gods.
Master, please tell me if Yang Ye meets
fortune or misfortune in this war.
War is the root of
all misfortune.
So how could the Yangs
meet with fortune?
Madam
please leave now.
But Master, is there a way
to ensure good fortune?
My Lady, let's go back and
find out what's happened.
The master doesn't want
to reveal the truth.
We can't force him.
Madam, please wait.
This is from my master.
What does it say, my Lady?
Go and wait for
me at the bottom.
Yes, Ma'am.
Hang in there.
Your Ladyship.
Ma'am.
Mother.
Mother.
Yanping,
I wish to talk with you.
Mother, I know it's
going to be dangerous.
But you must trust me.
I will bring Father back,
and keep my brothers safe.
